Li Qiu pursed her lips and said nothing, so Aunt Niu might have misunderstood. Aunt Niu might have said something with her mouth, and within half a day, everyone in Yunxia Village would know.
As long as it is confirmed that she was bullied by Gu Changan, the Zhang family will definitely not be able to keep her. When the time comes, she will beg Gu Changan to buy her home, and there will be no need to go to the Red Sleeve Recruitment.
The more Li Qiu thought about it, the more feasible it became. Not only did he not explain, but he even cried and nodded.
Aunt Niu immediately became excited: "You are such a scoundrel, you dare to bully even a talented lady! Just wait, I will go back to the village to call someone! Today we must drive you scoundrel out of our Yunxia Village!"
"Damn it!"
Gu Changan cursed and shouted to chase Aunt Niu, but his sleeve was grabbed by Li Qiu.
"What are you doing!" Gu Changan was furious and threw Li Qiu away suddenly, "Yuan Liqiu, you are living a good life too comfortably, right? Why are you trying to drag me down if you don't want to be a good scholar? ?”
Yunxia Village had such a scholar as the third son of the Zhang family, so naturally he was praised as a golden egg. His little wife was bullied, and the village elders and Li Zheng would never spare that person.
In addition, Gu Changan had a bad reputation, so the villagers had probably wanted to drive him out for a long time. It was logical to use this excuse to drive him out of Yunxia Village.
Without the protection of his clan and the loss of his house and land, Gu Changan could even think of how miserable his future life would be.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his fist and wanted to punch Li Qiu. But when he saw Li Qiu sitting on the ground, he was reluctant and punched himself in anger.
"Although I, Gu Changan, am a scoundrel, I never do anything to bully women. Yuan Liqiu, please go back with me now and explain the matter clearly. We can still say hello when we meet in the future. Otherwise, I will Really beat you up.”
Li Qiu stood up with the sickle in hand and nodded obediently.
Seeing that there was blood on Gu Changan's neck, Li Qiu took out a cleanly washed coarse cloth and said, "Brother Chang'an, let me wipe the blood for you."
She was so petite that she only reached Gu Changan's shoulders. She stood on tiptoes and gently wiped Gu Changan's blood. The scent of her breath went straight into Gu Changan's chest, making his bones brittle.
Li Qiu took the time to glance at Gu Changan and sneered secretly.
In the dream, she had been entertaining in Hongxiu for ten years, and what she had learned was how to seduce men. How her every smile, every word and every deed could make a man feel loved was engraved in her bones.
Using the skills learned in the dream to deal with Gu Changan will be easy for him.
"Brother Chang'an, does it still hurt?"
Li Qiu's little hand gently pressed Gu Changan's neck through the handkerchief, and the tingling sensation made Gu Changan thirstier.
Ever since his grandfather passed away, no one had ever cared about him so much. "Does it still hurt?" Gu Changan's heart softened completely.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt anymore."
He shook his head and remembered that he had wanted to beat Li Qiu just now, and he was so angry that he really wanted to slap himself twice.
For such a delicate little lady, she was frightened so she talked nonsense. As for the knife on the neck, she was frightened by Aunt Niu's loud voice. I can't blame Li Qiu.
"Brother Chang'an, I can't help you..."
Liqiu turned his face slightly, lowered his head and gently wiped away his tears.
She looks the best from this angle. In her dream, Ping Gu once said that when she lowers her head slightly and sheds tears, even women, let alone men, can't bear it.
As expected, Gu Changan panicked. He wanted to wipe Li Qiu's tears, but felt it was inappropriate. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
He was so anxious that he was scratching his head and ears like a monkey. He held it in for a long time, and his face turned red: "Don't cry, oh, I'm unlucky. Anyway, I am a scoundrel in the eyes of the big guys. I don't have to worry about too many debts, lice." If it’s too much, I’ll take the blame. When you go back later, you can say that I bullied you.”
Li Qiu didn't respond. He listened to the people around him sighing for a while and then left. He cursed this idiot in his heart and hurriedly called out to Gu Chang'an: "Brother Chang'an, where are you going?"
Gu Changan scratched his head: "I can't stay in Yunxia Village anymore. I'm going to hide in the county town."
He would definitely be kicked out of the village anyway, no matter where he went.
"Brother Chang'an is gone, what should I do?"
"What?" Gu Changan was stunned, "I didn't really bully you. Just go back and say that I tried to bully you but failed, so I can continue to be your talented scholar."
Li Qiu wept silently: "It would be great if I could really be a scholar's wife. Third brother is now a scholar. My mother-in-law thinks I'm an eyesore and wants to sell me into the Red Sleeves."
Red sleeve trick? Isn't that a newly opened kiln in the town?
If my daughter's family is sold into a place like that, what hope is there for her to survive?
Gu Changan became angry again. This family is really not a human being. Li Qiu has worked as a fire girl for her family for seven or eight years. Even if she is a cat and a dog, she has developed some affection. How can the family be rich? So he sold the person and sold him to a dirty place where he was raped.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go back and talk to Li Zheng!"
Gu Chang'an was a kind-hearted man who hated being bullied. He rolled up his sleeves angrily: "He, Zhang San'er, has just sold his wife after being admitted as a scholar. Is this still a human being? I'm not afraid that the school will find out. Apart from his fame?"
Li Qiu lowered his head and sneered. If Zhang San could be called a human being, even the toads in the pond would become immortals.
"Brother Chang'an, it's useless for you to tell Li Zheng. It's hard to find a scholar in our village. This is a matter of honoring our ancestors. The people in the village still want to put all the land in the name of the third brother so that they can avoid paying taxes. How could I ask you to ruin third brother’s future?”
Gu Changan was stunned: "Then...what should we do?"
Li Qiu slowly walked over and held Gu Changan's clothes with his little hands.
"Brother Chang'an, I have a way to prevent you from being kicked out of the village and prevent me from entering the red sleeves."
The hot feeling came back again, Gu Changan licked his lips: "What can I do?"
Before Li Qiu had time to say anything, Mrs. Liu led a group of people and rushed over.
"Okay! You little bitch, you are stealing a man here behind my back!"
"Erga Mother, that's not the case."
Aunt Niu, who was standing next to Mrs. Liu, was very uneasy.
After she returned to the village, she yelled that Gu Changan had bullied Li Qiu and called everyone over. She originally wanted to vent her anger on Li Qiu and let Li Qiu accept her love, and asked the Zhang family's third son to take care of her more after he became an official. In her family, who would have thought that Mrs. Liu would give Li Qiu a scolding as soon as she arrived.
"Why isn't this the case?"
Mrs. Liu was holding a door bolt in her hand, obviously coming prepared: "This little bitch didn't work all day. When the rain stopped, she didn't even carry a basket and ran away with a sickle. I was still thinking about going up the mountain to cut... Why doesn't Pig Grass use a basket? It turns out he came here to steal men!"
