Capítulo 471: Chapter 471 Grave Digging
Tang Chuxia watched Father Tang flee in the same awkward manner she had before and couldn’t help but laugh like a fool.
Father Tang had no time to deal with Tang Chuxia, and kept pointing at her nose: “You little brat, I’ll deal with you later!”
Tang Chuxia wasn’t afraid of him at all and stuck out her tongue at him.
Since they decided to go over and have a look, they couldn’t go during the day as they would definitely be stopped.
It was agreed to take a trip over there at night.
“What about my grandparents? We can’t just leave their remains like that, can we? Is the grave going to stay open?”
Tang Chuxia curiously asked, and Second Grandma replied, “Put your grandparents’ clothes in the coffin first to create a memorial tomb, and replace them once the bodies are found!”
Tang Chuxia indicated that she understood.
As long as she didn’t have to do these things herself, she was fine with it.
In Tang Village, Tang Chuxia really felt at ease, doing whatever she wanted.
She also had some little playmates here, and they all played together until nightfall when Father Tang went to drink at the village chief’s house.
By midnight, Third Grandpa took a few young men to that guy’s grave.
The fact was, the grave was opened, and indeed, there were no remains.
The body was also missing.
One was replaced, and the other disappeared without a trace.
Outsiders couldn’t figure out the connection, but Third Grandpa knew.
That guy was a member of Qingzhu, and although the elder couple of Tang Family weren’t, Tang Wanqiu was a different story!
So when linking everything together, it’s estimated that everyone killed by Qingzhu had their graves collapse at this point.
Third Grandpa was anxious to return to discuss this matter with Gu Beihuai, so he said no more.
After bringing the people back, Tang Chuxia had already gone to sleep with Xiuxiu, but Father Tang couldn’t sleep.
He was having nightmares.
Third Grandpa and the others also went to bed, waiting to go back to the city with Tang Chuxia and the others the next day.
After investigating the ancestral grave matters clearly, Tang Chuxia went back the next day with Third Grandpa and the others.
Once in the city, Third Grandpa didn’t go to the Tang Family; he parted ways with them, saying he had his own matters to attend to.
Father Tang dragged Tang Chuxia home and started complaining to Madam Tang.
Especially about digging up the grandparents’ grave.
Madam Tang found it difficult not to agree, but unlike Father Tang, she couldn’t bear to scold her own daughter and could only say to Father Tang, “What’s wrong with you? The deed is done, and if Xiaxia hadn’t done such a thing, would you have known the cause of your parents’ deaths?”
Father Tang was left speechless.
Madam Tang, after taking Tang Chuxia out, quietly asked what on earth had happened.
Tang Chuxia naturally didn’t hide anything from her and told her everything.
Madam Tang remarked, “She’s truly raised a thankless wretch!”
“Isn’t that right? Back when I discovered along with Big Brother and the others that Tang Wanqiu was mingling with a bunch of gambling addicts, I knew she was no good. Later, time proved it—they really weren’t any good!”
Tang Chuxia still remembered the time she first arrived and tracked Tang Wanqiu to that casino with Tang Jianguo and the others.
She saw a completely different side of Tang Wanqiu.
She was indeed rather fierce.
However, Madam Tang believed, “If she had focused on the right path, would she have had so many troubles?”
The key issue was that Grandma and Grandpa wouldn’t have perished because of this!
No matter what, it was Father Tang’s bad luck, paying with his parents’ lives for the person he inexplicably chose to raise, and he deserved to bear all the consequences.
Tang Chuxia also thought Father Tang deserved it.
Let him brood and regret on his own.
As for Tang Chuxia, returning to her room, she thought of everything that had happened in the past days and wondered what Gu Beihuai was busy with. She felt a bit bored.
She thought perhaps she should agree to the head teacher’s suggestion and study with him. It would be better than having to take the college entrance exam herself.
She genuinely wasn’t suited to that type of lifestyle.
Staring at the ceiling, Tang Chuxia decided to discuss it with Gu Beihuai when he returned.
As she thought about it, her eyelids grew heavier, and Tang Chuxia drifted off to sleep.
That night, Gu Beihuai clearly didn’t have time to return.
From the moment Third Grandpa took the news to find him, Gu Beihuai had been busy, with no time to come back, which incidentally left him unaware that Tang Chuxia, even not having seen him for two days, slept soundly.
Fortunately, the next day, Tang Chuxia decided to find Gu Beihuai, thinking to check in on him, only for him to return right as she stepped out.
Seeing the weary-looking Gu Beihuai, Tang Chuxia was puzzled: “You haven’t slept all night?”
Yawning, Gu Beihuai hugged Tang Chuxia and flopped onto the bed.
“Yeah, I haven’t slept all night, been working till now!” He was almost worn out, and coming home to see Tang Chuxia glowing with health felt completely unfair.
Tang Chuxia, enfolded in Gu Beihuai’s embrace, went numb all over.
“You sleep, I’ll go make you something to eat!”
Tang Chuxia didn’t want to rest with Gu Beihuai, knowing she’d be stuck and unable to get up.
But it was clear she still didn’t understand Gu Beihuai enough.
With her already in his arms, how could he let her go?
“I’ve already eaten, just nap with me for a bit!” Gu Beihuai held onto Tang Chuxia tightly, truly locking her in his embrace.
There was nothing Tang Chuxia could do, so she let him take off his clothes, refusing to let him sleep while still dressed.
The two of them lay back under the covers, and though Tang Chuxia wasn’t sleepy at all, the warmth of Gu Beihuai’s embrace next to her unknowingly lulled her to sleep too.
They slept until noon, when Gu Beihuai stretched and poked Tang Chuxia’s cheek to wake her up too.
“Were you really bored?”
Tang Chuxia was a bit annoyed. After keeping him company while he napped, he was still treating her like this.
Gu Beihuai chuckled, “What did you do back home? Was it fun?”
Speaking about going home, Tang Chuxia felt helpless.
She still didn’t know that Third Grandpa had already told Gu Beihuai about what happened at home, or she wouldn’t have left out the part about being chased around by Father Tang and instead shared Father Tang’s more foolish side.
Gu Beihuai stifled his laughter; it was the first time he knew Tang Chuxia had such an embarrassing moment.
It wasn’t until Gu Beihuai couldn’t help but laugh out loud that Tang Chuxia realized something was off.
But when she asked, Gu Beihuai wasn’t going to say anything, and he ran out of the bed.
Tang Chuxia was furious!
“Gu Beihuai, if you dare run, I won’t let you back into bed tonight!”
This threat was truly effective, and Gu Beihuai had to run back.
He was too afraid to tell the truth, so he talked about how busy he’d been the last couple of days.
“You know how Wu Haipeng’s been agitated lately, right?”
Tang Chuxia curiously asked, “What happened?”
Gu Beihuai chuckled, “What else could it be? Those four nephews drove Wu Haipeng mad; he doesn’t have any private time. He’s been stuck taking care of kids every night and hasn’t even had his wedding night yet!”
