Lin Family.

After Gu Zi talked to Lin Cheng, she learned that the gift money had mysteriously vanished. If this was their reason for not returning the money, it seemed too ridiculous to believe.

Lin Cheng, however, assured them, “We’re doing our best to earn the money, and we’ll definitely return it to Mr. Su.”

“We’re here for another matter,” Su Shen interjected. “Let’s put the betrothal gift aside for now.”

Gu Zi remained silent and studied Lin Cheng. He had clean skin, a pleasant appearance, and seemed quite honest and endearing.

Gu Zi remembered the character background from the original book. Lin Cheng was 25 years old, married but childless. He was dedicated and loyal to his wife, Li Hua, who hailed from the same village. A man of such character didn’t seem like a liar.

Looking at the Lin family’s present state, it didn’t make sense for them to lie. If they truly took the 3,000 yuan, wouldn’t it have been more straightforward for them to run away?

She glanced at Su Shen, a little perplexed. If it wasn’t the betrothal gift, then what was the issue?

Su Shen didn’t say a word and smiled knowingly.

Just then, there was a commotion outside. Li Hua had fetched the two elders of the Lin family from the fields.

Gu Zi gazed towards the entrance and saw an elderly couple shuffling in. They looked frail, with wrinkled faces, white hair, and slightly hunched backs. Their walk was accompanied by coughs, and they didn’t seem to be in the best of health.

Gu Zi remembered that the original owner’s parents and Gu Shan were the same age, both around fifty.

Gu Shan was in his prime, while the original owner’s parents appeared to be frail and aged, evoking a sense of sympathy.

Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the man had excellent natural features. He was tall with broad shoulders and a handsome face, though the hardships of life had taken a toll on his appearance.

The woman, on the other hand, seemed kind-hearted. Despite her age, it wasn’t hard to see that her features were finely delicate, strikingly similar to the original owner.

Could such an elderly couple truly pocket the gift money?
