As a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, Gu Qingcheng is well versed in the art of "courtesy and reciprocity".
Han Qiuyu rashly included her in the book and caused her so much trouble. Of course Gu Qingcheng would give her a big gift in return.
When "The Deep Courtyard" just made waves in the provincial capital, Gu Qingcheng started negotiating with Huoshui——
"Shui Shui, Han Qiuyu should have already happened, right?"
This woman was pregnant when she left the Li family.
Calculating the time, it should be almost the day of delivery.
"Executor, why do you ask that? Maybe Han Qiuyu has aborted the child."
Huoshui deliberately asked questions.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I really don’t want to answer stupid questions from a retarded person.
However, Huoshui still needed help this time, so Gu Qingcheng could hardly explain patiently.
"As mentioned in the synopsis of the story, Han Qiuyu will also be involved with the 'scumbag' Li Yaozu."
The entanglement between the two, apart from the marriage that was disliked by Li Yaozu, was the child in Han Qiuyu's belly.
If Han Qiuyu really aborted the child, it would mean that she had no relationship with the Li family at all.
In the future, when Li Yaozu learns that Han Qiuyu has become a well-known writer and wants to "get back together", he will definitely break off the relationship with Li Yaozu simply by following the "killing decision" of the woman wearing a book.
In the synopsis of the story, it is mentioned that Li Yaozu and Han Qiuyu seem to have some emotional drama.
Gu Qingcheng made a judgment based on those two lines, "Han Qiuyu probably didn't abort the child for some reason."
The closest relatives are husband and wife.
The reason why husband and wife can become a being that transcends blood relationship is because they have children between them.
The child is the fusion of two people's bloodlines and the continuation of their bloodlines.
After having a child, there was a constant struggle between Han Qiuyu and Li Yaozu.
As for why Han Qiuyu didn't abort the child, Gu Qingcheng also had some guesses:
First, it may be that people really like children and are reluctant to part with the fetus in their belly.
Second, abortion is risky. Although the medical treatment in this era has improved compared to ancient times, it is still not foolproof.
Gu Qingcheng has systematically and comprehensively studied Western medicine. She can say with certainty that giving birth and abortion are too dangerous. Even in the future, this problem will not be completely solved.
Gu Qingcheng guessed Han Qiuyu based on her extremely low character, thinking that she did not have an abortion because of the second reason.
Huoshui: ...It doesn’t want to admit that Gu Qingcheng, a person of low character, guessed it right.
But it is what it is.
"Yes! Han Qiuyu did not abort the child!"
As a Mary Sue heroine, even if she had a bulging belly, she did not scare away the affectionate male supporting characters.
They would not refuse "buy one, get one free" like men in real life, but would pity Han Qiuyu even more.
They even believed that Han Qiuyu was indeed kind and great, and would rather bear more worldly prejudices and hardships for the sake of the little life in his belly.
A group of second, third, and fourth boys who seemed to have had their brains eaten, not only did not dislike Han Qiuyu, but instead competed to "become a father".
They tried every means to take care of Han Qiuyu and the child in her belly.
Godfather No. 1, Godfather No. 2, Godfather No. 3, etc. actively work and count the days waiting for the birth of the little baby.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This storyline is so divorced from reality.
She didn't bother to complain.
"Li Yaozu must have heard of Wutong Yeyu's name when he was in the Magic City."
Gu Qingcheng put aside the plot that left her speechless and continued to ask questions.
"I heard about it, but he didn't connect Wutong Yeyu with his feudal dregs first wife."
Huoshui answered truthfully.
Maybe he is arrogant, but maybe he is unwilling to admit it.
Even though "Courtyard Deep" was released later, and the newspaper made a fuss about Han Qiuyu's life experience, Li Yaozu did not expect it.
"Then let him 'know'! By the way, tell him that he is going to be a father!"
Gu Qingcheng said calmly.
The misfortune caused Lingling to shiver.
It had a hunch that its own executor was up to something.
"Men all have inexplicable self-esteem."
Gu Qingcheng continued, seeming to guess why Li Yaozu "unexpectedly" said Han Qiuyu was the first wife he abandoned.
For what else?
Of course it's a strong sense of self-esteem.
Even if Li Yaozu now knows Wutong Yeyu's identity and wants to covet Wutong Yeyu's reputation and money, he can't lose face for a while.
It was the lousy wife he abandoned, and it was he who wrote the divorce papers and published them in the newspaper.
Now, if you ask him to lower his face and ask for help from Han Qiuyu, he can't do it!
Huoshui nodded, "Executor, what you said makes sense."
Li Yaozu himself was a man who thought highly of himself and regarded himself as a talented man who was superior to others.
How could he bow to a woman with small feet that he despised?
Do you still want to beg for help?
"Can't do it? Haha, that's because the pressure is not high enough! The social reality we suffer is not cruel enough!"
Gu Qingcheng sneered, "Since I am his stepmother, I should help him."
here we go again! That horrible feeling again!
The little coward Huoshui couldn't help but tremble, "Executor, what do you want to do?"
"Listen to your tone? It's like I'm going to do something outrageous and bad."
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huoshui with disdain, and then said, "I have good intentions."
"Li Jiye's family business should be almost in ruins!"
Her sudden change of topic made Huoshui a little uncomfortable for a moment.
It took a few seconds for Huoshui's CPU to react.
With a little complaint, it said, "You still have the nerve to say that! The Li family's vitality was severely damaged after that lawsuit!"
The family fortune of several thousand yuan shrank by nine-tenths in an instant.
Only one or two hundred yuan and an old house are left, and the total value does not exceed five hundred yuan.
The Li family's shops and farmland are all gone.
Unable to collect rent and have no source of income, Li Jiye sold things to his mother-in-law and the nursing home, and spent them away.
In the huge house, only he, an old housekeeper, and two concubines were left.
Ahem, the two aunts also had their gambling debts paid off by Li Jiye.
Yes, even with Gu Qingcheng, an outsider, flapping his butterfly wings, Li Jiye still did not escape his destined fate.
He was targeted by the local gambling den.
After one pass, Li Jiye lost all his remaining property.
If the old housekeeper hadn't stopped him in time, Li Jiye would have sold off his two remaining concubines.
"Oh, it's so miserable!"
Gu Qingcheng showed an expression of surprise and pity.
Huoshui Numbface: ...You are indeed a big villain, you are so thick-skinned!
"A couple's kindness lasts a hundred days. Besides, Li Jiye is Yaozong's biological father. I can't just ignore him!"
"He probably still doesn't know that his son is a university teacher in Shanghai, and that his good daughter-in-law has become a talented writer who is famous all over the country and has both fame and fortune."
"Well, I want him to know the whereabouts of Li Yaozu and let him go to Li Yaozu."
Although Li Yaozu is a university teacher, his monthly salary is very high.
But he also likes to enjoy himself.
Eat Western food, invite the misses at school to drink coffee and dance, and you will become a moonlight tribe every month.
During the holidays, in order to give gifts to MISS, I have to overdraw next month’s salary.
Sometimes, Li Yaozu was thinking: How about I write a letter to my family?
Although your address will be exposed, you can get some money from home.
He was used to nibbling daddy, and without money in his pocket, it was like reaching for home.
His life is so "embarrassing". If he has a father, an old grandmother, and two concubine sisters, hehe, those days will definitely be very sour!
Disaster: ...Bad guy! You, how can you be so bad?
Gu Qingcheng: "Bad? How can this be called bad? I am doing good deeds, reuniting fathers and sons, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and keeping the whole family together. How good is that?"
The best meets the best and becomes a family.
With no money and worries about the family's livelihood, no matter how "proud" a man is, he has to lower his noble head.
As for Gu Qingcheng, when Li Yaozu was hesitant, he would give him another piece of good news: Your first wife is Wutong Yeyu, and she gave birth to a big fat boy for you.
A woman was divorced, but she was still willing to give birth to a child.
Common men will not think that motherhood is great, but will think wishfully: "She must still have me in her heart, so she is reluctant to abort my child!"
Children are a link and a ladder for Li Yaozu, who has self-esteem and confidence.
It won't be long before Li Yaozu drags his family to the capital to reunite with Han Qiuyu!
By then, the cold autumn rainy days will definitely be very lively!
Huoshui: ...It's not just lively, it's like a chicken and a dog, and people are jumping on their backs.
Sure enough, Han Qiuyu shouldn't have written that book.
Tell me, you are a literary copycat and you can just carry Jin Juxia's works properly.
Why write a prototype?
If you offend someone like Gu Qingcheng, who has only a little bit of character, she doesn't even have to take action herself. She can kill someone with a borrowed knife, which will make you miserable.
Although in the original plot, the best people from the Li family would still come to Han Qiuyu.
However, without Gu Qingcheng's "help", this matter would have taken another year or two.
At that time, Han Qiuyu already had an absolute status in the literary world. She had also done many good deeds and became Mr. Qiuyu praised by everyone.
A group of the best members of the Li family would not benefit from her in the slightest when they met her. Instead, they would end up in ruins, with everyone calling for beatings.
Now, Han Qiuyu has gained some fame through "The Condor" and "The Courtyard", but he has not yet reached the level of a big shot.
If the Li family takes the opportunity to stick to it, Han Qiuyu may have to give in and suffer some injustice due to the coercion of public opinion and morality.
If it is not handled well, it may even overturn!
Gu Qingcheng is so cruel!
Huoshui sighed secretly.
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows: Is this cruel?
Haha, this is just the beginning.
She also has an even bigger trump card!
Moreover, it is not that she is too cruel and insists on biting Han Qiuyu.
All of this was caused by Han Qiuyu, and she, Gu Qingcheng, was just "reciprocating courtesy"!
I hope my once cheap daughter-in-law likes these great gifts from her...
