Bab 509: Chapter 509: Incurring a blood loss now

Gu Hongwei remained silent with a stiff face, no matter how much his aunt scolded him, he neither refuted nor agreed to her demands, which infuriated her to the point of asking the village chief to mediate.

Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian quickly understood the situation from his aunt's words. It turned out that his aunt had her sights set on the Gu Family's land. She thought that since Gu's father was dead and Gu Hongwei was studying in Kyoto, she should naturally inherit the family fields.

She originally assumed that once she brought up the matter, Gu Hongwei would agree. To her surprise, Gu Hongwei flatly refused without even a hint of hesitation, and disregarded the kinship between them.

Thankfully, she hadn't backed Gu Hongwei in the past; otherwise, she'd be at a great loss now.

The village chief thought the aunt's claim was unreasonable. Although the aunt had married and left the village, Gu Hongwei remained a villager, and he was certainly in his favor.
