“Uncle Shi, I know what you’re worried about. However, I have an idea. If you’re really willing to testify for me, I’ll build a small filming base in the village. At that time, everyone in the village won’t have to do anything and can earn tens of thousands of yuan every year.”
As Gu Xiao spoke, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. However, if one took a closer look, they would notice that there was no smile in her eyes.
“What do you think?”
Wealth was tempting.
As soon as Gu Xiao finished speaking, the eyes of all the villagers, including Village Chief Gu Shi, lit up.
However, Gu Shi was the village chief after all, so he was not immediately bewitched.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe hesitated for a moment before asking, “Can you really build this film base in our village? Can we earn money after it is built?”
Gu Xiao nodded. “Of course 1 can. 1 did not do well in the Gu family, but if it weren’t for my fellow villagers, 1 might not have survived. Now that I’m capable, it’s time for me to do something for the village. Of course, I have to be satisfied first.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the others in the village looked at each other for a while and could not help but be tempted.
That was tens of thousands of yuan a year!
Their children might not even be able to earn tens of thousands of yuan after working hard for an entire year outside, let alone them, who were farming at their home village.
Now, Gu Xiao had said that as long as they agreed to testify for her, they would be able to take tens of thousands of yuan a year without doing anything. Moreover, they would not have to pay any price. This was a great thing for them!
Even those who were close to the old couple of the Gu family could not help but be tempted, let alone most of the people in the village who did not have a good relationship with the Gu family.
Compared to real money, the things that they had been conflicted about previously were ail dispensable matters!
As long as their village was rich, the other villages would only envy them. There was no need for reputation. With money, it would be even simpler to get married!
Everyone pondered for a moment and knew how much benefit this matter could bring.
In just a few seconds, someone in the crowd raised his hand and said, “Xiaoxiao, you were injured when you were young, would the note from the hygiene room that my wife took you to do?”
Gu Xiao looked at the person who spoke and smiled slightly. Under the other party’s expectant gaze, she nodded.
“As long as it’s intact, it’s fine if it’s real.”
After hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the person who had spoken previously squeezed out of the crowd and said to Gu Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, wait for me. I’ll go home immediately to get you the note!”
The villagers were in an uproar, but in the end, they did not move.
When Gu Xiao saw this, she did not mind.
After a while, the person who spoke earlier ran back, panting. He squeezed through the crowd to Gu Xiao and handed her two notes.
“This is the note that you were injured. This is the note from the hygiene room that said you were seriously malnourished. Can these two be accepted?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Xiao took the two notes from that person. After confirming that there was no problem, she gave Chu An a look.
When Chu An saw this, he immediately took out the wallet he had prepared beforehand and opened it. He took out two hundred-dollar bills and handed them to that person.
The others looked at the hundred-dollar bills in Chu An’s wallet and saw that the person who had produced the notes had really taken the money from Gu Xiao. After informing Gu Xiao, they immediately left, planning to go home and get the evidence.
The villagers had a lot of evidence.
There were even photos of Gu Xiao being injured and treated. There were even photos of Gu Xiao almost dying a few times with someone helping her order items for her funeral… All in all, it was a huge sum.
In particular, the doctor in the village’s hygiene room took out a stack of things. They were all real evidence.
Chu An had 5,000 yuan in his wallet. In the end, it wasn’t even enough. He even took out the 2,000 yuan that Gu Xiao had prepared before they were finally
done.
Together, they were enough to charge the two of them with child abuse, intentional injury, and even attempted murder.
These things could at least let the two of them stay in prison for three years.
When Gu Xiao said that she wanted the villagers to get evidence, Old Madam Gu and Old Gu were already stunned and could not react.
After seeing that someone really gave Gu Xiao evidence, they even wanted to attack Gu Xiao and Chu An.
However, the villagers had all seen real money, so how could they let the duck fly away when it was already in the net? Hence, the villagers tacitly stopped Old Gu and Old Madam Gu, not letting them disturb Gu Xiao and Chu An..
