Chapter 160: Both of them were dumbfounded.
He loosened her hair, poured a bowl of water from the table, and handed it to Li Guixiang, who was lying on the bed.
He handed the bowl over, but no one took it. Gu Jinniu glanced at it, then went over and helped the person up.
Then he slowly fed the bowl of water to Li Guixiang.
Perhaps it was the water that restored Li Guixiang's spirits a little. She looked at the person in front of her, her vision blurring for a moment.
She still doesn't understand why things turned out this way; wasn't everything fine before?
Why did it suddenly turn out like this? Where did it go wrong?
As she thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes. When Gu Jinniu saw this, he didn't say anything, but took a handkerchief and wiped away Li Guixiang's tears.
Then he picked her up and, while fixing Li Guixiang's hair, said, "Do you suddenly find me scary?"
Li Guixiang froze, but Gu Jinniu seemed oblivious, still tidying up Li Guixiang's hair with his hands.
While tidying up, she continued, "Don't you want to live like this anymore?"
"If you agree to do me a favor, I'll let you go and never let you live like this again. What do you think?"
"What do you want me to do?" Li Guixiang was tempted. She really wanted to get away from this man, even though he was her ex-husband.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinniu lifted Li Guixiang's face, pinched her chin, made her look at him, and then stated his demands word by word.
She initially thought it was just a small matter, but when Li Guixiang heard what the man said, the shocked expression on her face made it seem as if she had never seen this man before.
After a long while, she finally pushed the man away forcefully, shouting with the sound of a broken bellows, "Gu Jinniu, are you crazy?!"
"Yes, that's right, I'm crazy. So, are you willing to help me? If you're not, then you'll have to spend the rest of your life with this madman."
When Gu Jinniu said this, he couldn't control the madness on his face anymore; his originally honest appearance was completely gone.
Some are left only with a mad, delusional state, a frightening, delusional fantasy.
Li Guixiang wanted to refuse, but she simply didn't have the courage. She didn't want to spend her life with a madman, and she didn't want to be tormented for the rest of her life.
She finally agreed, and since that day, Gu Jinniu has never done anything to Li Guixiang again. As Li Guixiang slowly recovered, she became the same as before.
Seeing that the eldest son and his wife had returned to normal, Zhao Laidi still felt something was off, especially since her sister-in-law would always intentionally or unintentionally pass by the Gu family whenever she went out recently.
Zhao Laidi couldn't understand what was going on, and she couldn't figure it out, so she told Gu Yinniu about it.
Gu Yinniu rolled his eyes when he heard what his wife said: "What does it have to do with you what other people's business is?"
"What they do is none of your business."
Hearing this, Zhao Laidi was displeased and pulled him up directly: "Gu Yinniu, what do you mean? Aren't I guessing this for the sake of our family?"
They currently live together in both the first and second wives' households. What will happen to the second wife's household if the first wife's household wants to separate from the first wife's household one day?
When the time comes, will their second wife's family have no money or food, and all four of them starve?
If she finds out the truth now, she can make preparations sooner. No matter what happens on the main branch of the family, the second branch will have a response, so they won't be kicked out without even knowing it.
When Gu Yinniu heard his wife's thoughts, he felt that this silly woman was overthinking things. If his older brother wanted to divide the family property, he probably would have done so long ago. There was no need to wait until now.
Therefore, the idea of splitting up the family is simply impossible, and they don't need to worry about it. Besides, it's not like the four of them have done nothing.
Every year, the second branch of the family would go to the fields to grow grain, and they should also receive a share of the harvest.
Since they're all together, what's wrong with eating them together?
Gu Yinniu didn't care, but Zhao Laidi, seeing his lazy appearance, wished she could smother him with a pillow.
It took me a long time to suppress my impulse. After drinking a bowl of water, I took off my shoes, lay down on the bed, and grabbed the blanket.
The wine was ready and could be filtered a second time. When Lin Cai opened the lid, the aroma filled the entire courtyard.
Scarface immediately jumped out of the room, staring expectantly at Lin Cai: "Hey girl, need any help?"
"Just let me know if there's anything I can help you with, and I promise I'll take care of it perfectly."
Lin Cai glanced at him upon hearing this. This person was different when he first arrived; he even addressed her differently now.
"Want some?" Lin Cai asked as she prepared the drink.
"Of course I want it! It smells so good, there can't be many people who wouldn't want it!"
"Then go in and get two bowls."
Before she could finish speaking, the person had already gone inside. Lin Cai found it amusing; people really would give up everything for food and drink!
She filtered the wine again with a clean cloth. The filtered wine was a bit dark in color, and it could easily be mistaken for black if you didn't look closely.
Lin Cai filtered the wine into a clean jar. There were no glass bottles here, although she did have some, but she couldn't take them out!
Seeing all the wine that had flowed into the jar, Scarface subconsciously swallowed.
The aroma is absolutely irresistible, with a hint of fruitiness. For someone who loves wine, it's an absolute temptation.
Seeing how much he was craving it, Lin Cai poured him a bowl. Scarface looked at the bowl of wine, but before he could pick it up, it was taken away by another hand.
He looked up and saw Lin Bao holding a wine bowl: "Lin Laosan, that was given to me by my sister, give it back to me."
"Hey Mao, my sister my foot! She's my sister, not yours. Of course, I, as her older brother, will drink the wine she brews first. Get out of my way."
After Lin Bao finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and was about to drink when Lin Cai casually said, "This is my first time doing this too. I don't know what will happen if I drink it."
Hearing this, neither of the men moved. Lin Bao looked at the bowl in his hand. It smelled so good and tasted so strong. He thought it wouldn't cause any problems.
Perhaps guessing what they were thinking, Lin Cai added, "I heard about someone getting poisoned by alcohol before. Have they found out what kind of poison it was? I think it's probably something like this."
These words left both men dumbfounded. One held the drink while the other stared at it, unsure whether to drink it or not, and the other unsure whether to snatch it or not.
