Chapter 977: Chapter 977 Liuli Has Already Received Retribution_1 Chapter 977: Chapter 977 Liuli Has Already Received Retribution_1 Liuli’s ashes were buried on Rooster Mountain, and Yang Wenxiao watched over them helplessly, unable to do anything.

As for Gu Yu, his body was not intact when he died, and now his ashes can’t even be found.

This pair, man and woman, even if Tong Tiehu wanted revenge now, he had no means to do so.

Tong Tiehu naturally understood this fact, but the clearer he understood, the more stifled and uncomfortable he felt inside.

Why, oh why?

Why did his mother and he have to endure such suffering?

Why, oh why…

“Humans, how could everything go as they wish? Look at my family, before I came here, how they were bullied—some died, some were crippled, others left. This is all fate. Those who can resist should try their best to fight back, and those who can’t, can only suffer in silence.”

Qiao Xiaomai spoke again to console him.

Upon hearing her words, Tong Tiehu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, “At least you were able to avenge the original owner of your body.”

“But Liuli didn’t end up with a good fate either, she also received her karma,” Qiao Xiaomai said while taking out a tissue from her space and handing it to Tong Tiehu, continuing to comfort him, “Although you couldn’t take revenge yourself, heaven did it for you. The heavens have taken her out.”

Tong Tiehu took the tissue, but his mood did not improve much.

He understood all the things Qiao Xiaomai said, all of it.

But understanding these principles could not erase the sorrow and rage in his heart.

He needed time, time to calm down.

Qiao Xiaomai naturally understood this too, so after handing the tissue to Tong Tiehu, she took out a cup of water with a lid from her space and gave it to Tong Tiehu, then she remained silent, focusing on driving the carriage outside.

She intentionally slowed down, to give Tong Tiehu time to soothe his emotions, but by the time they arrived at the manor, Tong Tiehu’s eyes were still swollen from crying.

They first went to see Yang Wenxiao, who was in a good mood. Seeing him with swollen red eyes, he inquired with concern about what had happened.

Tong Tiehu could only mention the bunch of good-for-nothings in his family, saying as he talked with Qiao Xiaomai, he couldn’t help but start crying again.

As a sixty-year-old elder, it might be somewhat laughable to cry and talk about such things, but as he was younger than Yang Wenxiao, in Yang Wenxiao’s presence, he was a junior.

Yang Wenxiao compared the four—Liuli, the Qian Family, the Zhang Family, Li Rou, and Zhu Hongyun—and could very well understand Tong Tiehu’s feelings.

To have gathered so many good-for-nothings, Tong Tiehu’s insight was really sharp, indeed.

Considering the standards of Gu Yu’s descendants, tsk.

After comforting Tong Tiehu a few words, Yang Wenxiao let him go.

Tong Tiehu left the Guest House and headed to Mai Yuan.

Qiao Xiaomai went to cook in the kitchen.

She had originally planned not to touch cold water after winter set in, but ever since Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao arrived, she had been busy in the kitchen for three meals a day.

Mai Yuan.

Tong Tiehu and his grandson Tong Sanlang sat on the kang bed facing each other in silence.

Tong Sanlang learned the truth earlier and had digested it for so many days; by now, he was able to comfortably console Tong Tiehu.

Man does as he wills, but heaven watches. If things are truly excessive, if men can’t kill, heaven will take action.

Moreover, Liuli was already trying her best to make amends, and now the favorable attitude of Yang Wenxiao towards the Tong Family, it was all because of Liuli’s arrangements.

Having encountered such an irresponsible ancestor like Gu Yu, the Tong Family was lucky to have the outcome they have now; it was a blessing from the heavens.

“Grandfather, don’t think about the dead anymore, think about now. Earn more silver, build more roads, and do more good deeds. This mysterious heaven will bless us, you will live to be a hundred, and Xiaomai and I will live safely and peacefully. Look forward and don’t concern yourself with what’s behind.”
