Chapter 2197: I'll Pick Up Gouwa


Just now, Wei Tang had been kicked by Shu Yu and forcibly brought inside. Now, looking at her attire and demeanor, he felt a sense of apprehension.

His gaze shifted uneasily, and he whispered, "I haven't done anything wrong. My sister has passed away, leaving behind her only son. As Gou Wa's uncle, I've come to check on him and, if possible, take the child back home to raise him."

The more he spoke, the more confident he became. "Yes, I'm here to pick up Gou Wa. Where is the child? You haven't mistreated him, have you? I'm his real uncle, much closer to him than the Hong family. He doesn't have anyone else to rely on, and I want to take good care of him."

"I spit on that," Aunt Hong, who had regained her composure, spat out sharply. She continued, "You suddenly have such a good heart? Back then, it was you who instigated your parents to persuade your sister to abandon Gou Wa after your brother-in-law's death and remarry. We didn't agree, so you brought your gang of friends to threaten and intimidate us, forcibly taking Gou Wa's mother away. It was also you who claimed the family had no money and sold Gou Wa's mother again. Now, you, with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, dare to shamelessly say that you want to raise Gou Wa. Do you think I'll believe you?"

"I..." Wei Tang felt somewhat embarrassed and angry at being accused. "That was in the past. Can't I treat Gou Wa well now? My sister is gone, and it's only right for me to take care of Gou Wa. You're just a member of the Hong family. Gou Wa isn't closely related to the Hongs. Why should you meddle in this?"

Aunt Hong sneered, "I may not have a close relationship with Gou Wa, but he carries the surname Song, belonging to the Song family, the Song family's descendants. You, an outsider uncle, want to compete with the Song family for the child? Let me tell you, Gou Wa has already been taken away by the Song family, and he's no longer here."

"What? The Song family still exists?" Wei Tang's face turned extremely unpleasant.

Aunt Hong raised her eyebrows triumphantly. "Yes, he's now living with his uncle from the Song family, and it has nothing to do with you."

Wei Tang's expression became very ugly, and after a while of muttering and cursing, he prepared to leave.

However, Shu Yu wasn't planning to let him go so easily. "Wait a moment, we haven't finished talking. Why are you leaving?"

"What else is there to say? I told you I came to pick up Gou Wa. Since he's not here, there's nothing more to discuss."

Shu Yu didn't want to argue with him. She used the simplest method – as Wei Tang passed by her, she grabbed his arm and forcibly stuffed a pill into his mouth, closing his mouth to help him swallow it.

Wei Tang looked incredulous and desperately grabbed his throat. "Cough... What did you make me eat? Cough, cough."

"It's a poison that will make your entire body ache and eventually cause bleeding from all seven orifices until you die," Shu Yu calmly replied.

"You're lying."

"If you don't believe it, you can feel it now. Do you have a burning sensation in your stomach? That's the poison burning your stomach. You have just one hour; if you don't get the antidote within that time, you'll die!"

Wei Tang touched his stomach, feeling a warm and burning sensation. He panicked, and his legs went weak.

Aunt Hong's face turned pale, and she grabbed Shu Yu's sleeve. "Miss Lu..."

"It's okay. I just wanted to ask him a few questions, and he answered honestly. I'll give him the antidote if he cooperates. If he doesn't, well..."

"Ask, ask, ask! I promise to tell you everything," Wei Tang knelt down hastily.
