Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 602 - 604 What have I done to deserve this?

During the dispute, Yang Hua and Gao Guihua started fighting each other, and naturally, Lin Xuebi didn’t want her daughter beaten, so she hurriedly called for her granddaughter-in-law to come and break it up. But unexpectedly, the granddaughter-in-law joined Yang Hua in beating up Gao Guihua, and Lin Xuebi was pushed fiercely and fell to the ground.

Gao Dazhuang also rushed forward to intervene, and Gao Daxing immediately went to help. The two brothers collided, and naturally, started fighting each other.

Although Gao Daxing was taller, where could he compare with the strength of Gao Dazhuang, who worked on construction sites? But Gao Jianmin didn’t care about the chaos and urged Gao Guofu, "Dad, look at what you’ve done to the home. Where is the fifty thousand yuan? Dad, hurry up and take it out to share, otherwise someone will get killed here."

Gao Guofu was already in poor health, and at this moment his face turned green and his eyes rolled back, but Gao Jianmin didn’t notice and instead rushed into Gao Guofu’s room to look for the money.

Seeing this, Lin Xuebi also rushed in.

Yang Hua and her mother-in-law then fought over the money in Gao Guihua’s hands, with Gao Dazhuang violently knocking Gao Dawei to the ground, furious, thinking his brother was coming to help break up the fight, only to realize he was helping steal the money.

With the money gone, Gao Guihua was wailing and sobbing, begging Gao Guofu to make a decision, saying she wanted to die.

When Yang Hua and her mother-in-law saw Gao Daxing get beaten by Gao Dazhuang, they immediately pounced on Gao Dazhuang. Yang Hua cursed, "You ingrate, why beat up your brother? Betrayer, I never should have given birth to you. I should have suffocated you in a dung bucket."

Since Gao Dazhuang came back alone, he had no wife to help him, and now he was being beaten by his own mother, brother, and sister-in-law, unable to fight back against his mother, and ultimately getting pushed back and knocking into Gao Guihua.

Gao Guihua cried out in pain, but suddenly discovered that Gao Guofu’s eyes were wide open as if looking at them, but with no reaction. Gao Guihua’s hand reached out, and she let out a wail, "Dad, you can’t die."

And like that, Gao Guofu was dead, died from anger, and with eyes wide open in death.

Lin Xuebi and Gao Jianmin also rushed out of the house, and seeing Gao Guofu dead, they couldn’t help but feel chilled.

"Guofu," Lin Xuebi screamed, "Guofu, how could you die? Wake up, Guofu."

"Grandpa is gone," tears flowed from Gao Dazhuang’s eyes.

Gao Jianmin asked what happened, and Gao Daxing pointed at Gao Dazhuang, "Eldest brother hit me..."

Slap, Gao Jianmin slapped Gao Dazhuang across the face, "You beast, you killed your grandfather, get out!"

"It wasn’t Dazhuang who killed Dad; it was you all," Gao Guihua angrily accused. "You stole the money Dad gave me and hit Dazhuang, you all infuriated Dad to death."

The commotion in the Gao family was so loud that quite a few onlookers had gathered, so it was impossible to keep the incident hidden from others.

Hong Xing was the captain of the Guangming Team and naturally dealt with the incident. Gao Guofu was angered to death by his own family, and since Lin Xuebi and Gao Jianmin didn’t actually commit a crime, the community’s blame and disdain for them was very strong.

However, since Gao Guofu had given Gao Guihua and Gao Dani five thousand yuan each, that money should belong to Gao Guihua and Gao Dani. Hong Xing decided this, but Yang Hua and her family were not pleased.

Hong Xing said, "Then call the police and deal with it."

With these words, Yang Hua and the others did quiet down, as they apparently did not want the police to get involved.

But now the problem was resolved. Gao Guofu had died, fifty thousand yuan had been distributed, and the other fifty thousand yuan couldn’t be found; naturally, money was also needed for his funeral arrangements.

When it came to the issue of spending money, everyone became contentious again. Lin Xuebi and Gao Jianmin turned the house upside down – the ceiling overturned, the floor dug up, the walls pried – they searched everywhere possible but still couldn’t find the other fifty thousand yuan and had no idea where Gao Guofu could have hidden it.

Gao Dazhuang’s gaze swept over the bamboo ladder that had been trampled on until it was nearly broken and looked at his despicable family members. He moved his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"Unfilial child, heartless son..." Lin Xuebi cursed, her heart chilled by the actions of her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

Even Gao Guofu had been treated this way, so what about her? Lin Xuebi clung tightly to her own money and knew she could no longer rely on her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. This ten thousand yuan was her lifeline.

"Each person should chip in a bit of money to handle Gao Guofu’s funeral. If we keep leaving Gao Guofu’s body out, it’s going to stink," Hong Xing said.

But the mere mention of money was like cutting out their hearts for Lin Xuebi and the others. Lin Xuebi’s own sorrow was not insignificant; after all, she had been husband and wife with Gao Guofu for decades. Although she valued money more, the sight of Gao Guofu dead like this left Lin Xuebi heartbroken.

Lin Xuebi also wanted to contribute money for Gao Guofu’s funeral, but she didn’t want to be the only one to pay. She also agreed with Hong Xing’s words, "Everyone chip in a bit. Now that your father is gone, I’m just an old granny left behind. From now on, each of your families should give me some living expenses."

"Mom, don’t you already have money?" Yang Hua said.

Lin Xuebi truly detested Yang Hua. If it weren’t for this daughter-in-law, how could her family have ended up like this?

"The ten thousand yuan was divided by your father, not given as a show of respect by you all. If you’re unwilling, then get out of this house and leave. I don’t want to see you unfilial children who have lost all sense of decency," Lin Xuebi shouted at her son and daughter-in-law.

"You say we are unfilial, but didn’t we learn it from you? And the fifty thousand yuan that belonged to Dad should be with you, Mom. Where did you hide it?" Yang Hua was relentless, believing in her heart that Lin Xuebi had hidden the money. After all, she knew very well about the close relationship between her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Lin Xuebi was almost furious to death, finally understanding the feeling of exasperation that killed Gao Guofu. She had not expected that her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren would suspect her of hiding the other fifty thousand yuan.

"Enough bickering, I’ll pay for Grandfather’s funeral," Gao Dazhuang shouted.

Yet, as soon as he spoke, everyone turned their suspicions towards Gao Dazhuang, thinking Gao Guofu had given him the money before his death.

Hong Xing looked at the dysfunction among the family and frowned, "Do you all intend to take care of Gao Guofu’s funeral or not?"

"Yes, we naturally should attend to Guofu’s funeral," Lin Xuebi spoke and then looked at Gao Jianmin, "Jianmin, can you bear to watch your father’s body rot? If you’re an unfilial son and let your father die with his eyes open, you’ll be struck by lightning."

At this time, Lin Xuebi was in tears, sitting on the ground and weeping, "What sins have I committed? Guofu, why didn’t you take me with you? Leaving me to suffer here. Dear Heaven, just let me die..."

"Everyone contributes a little," Gao Jianmin said to his two sons and then turned his gaze to Gao Guihua and Gao Dani.

Gao Guihua and Gao Dani silently nodded, their hearts filled with sorrow, and even more with silence.
