Not long after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had finished breakfast, they heard someone knocking on the door. Mrs. Yang thought it was those beasts from the Lin family coming again, so she picked up the wood-cutting knife in the yard and went to open the door cursingly!
She wants to see who dares to come here without any sense. If he dares to bully Yingxue again, she will fight with them!
Yang opened the door suddenly and looked at the person with wide eyes. The thin monkey and a big man with unshaven beard at the door trembled in fright and took several steps back!
"Monkey! Silly guy! You two screamed so early in the morning!"
Yang was secretly relieved when he saw that he was a gangster who often hung out with his brother-in-law.
She was thinking that if someone from the Lin family dared to come to bully someone again, she would die with the Lin family.
But she still wants to live, after all, she will be an official's wife in the future!
I heard that Mrs. Guan eats white steamed buns every day, but she still doesn’t know what white steamed buns taste like!
The thin monkey said while panting and trying not to cry:
"Sister-in-law! I...we are just here to give Ergou some money, and see if we can...buy him some more medicine to drink, so that he can get well soon."
The thin monkey and the silly big man swallowed their saliva and quickly handed over a purse.
Yang reacted for a while before she remembered that her second uncle called Er Gouzi in the village!
She took the wallet and saw that there were 200 Wen in it!
Yang looked up in shock and saw only two figures, one tall and one small, running away, so she had to shout quickly:
"When my father-in-law comes back, I will definitely return it to you!
However, the thin monkey and the stupid big guy ran too fast and probably didn't hear them. Yang curled her lips and said:
"You didn't do anything wrong. I'm not going to kill you. Why are you running so fast!"
The thin monkey and the big silly guy were out of breath running. After making sure that Yang was not chasing them, they lay down under a big tree at the entrance of the village to catch their breath.
"Big man, do you think Ergou will just... die?"
"Don't cry in mourning! Ergouzi is not dead but you are crying to death! Didn't the doctor say that as long as he doesn't stop taking his medicine and take care of him for a while, he won't die!
The silly big guy came over with a slap, then patted the dirt on his body and stood up to leave. When the thin monkey saw the silly big guy leaving, he quickly stood up and followed.
They had to rush to the dock to grab a living. Ergouzi's family didn't like him, so they had to earn money to buy him medicine!
We must not let him drink myrrh to death!
……..
"Hmph! The Lin family must have known that what they did would poke people in the spine, so they ran away early in the morning! I said he had no shame in waiting for dad to come back!"
While Yang was embroidering her purse, she said angrily to Gu Yingxue who was lying on the bed recovering from her injuries.
Gu Yingxue used to be filled with sweetness when she thought of Lin Zhixue, but now when she thinks of him, she only has hatred and despair that she cannot avenge.
She closed her eyes for a while before opening them:
"Sister-in-law, please don't mention that shit again. The Lin family is simply an outsider and has no relatives in the village. Since they have all left and even the few memorial tablets in his house have been moved away, that means it is not possible. I plan to come back again, so that’s fine, I will live a good life from now on, follow you, sister-in-law, to embroider purses and tie knots to support us two!”
Gu Yingxue opened her eyes and said firmly that she never wanted to die again. Yesterday she felt the strong desire of the fetus in her belly to survive. She would definitely let her child be born smoothly!
Raise her up healthily!
From now on, it’s not impossible for her to survive if she works hard!
Mrs. Yin looked at her daughter who had already thought about it, and couldn't help but wipe her tears again.
But she was afraid that Gu Yingxue would see her, so she quickly turned around and went out to feed the chickens and pigs and clean the yard.
Seeing the Lin family leaving in great numbers under the protection of their guards, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village were filled with envy and jealousy.
"This Lin family is really one person who has achieved the Tao of chicken and dog and ascended to heaven! Tsk, tsk, tsk~"
"Hmph! Not a good thing! This Lin family is a migrant who fled from famine. Our village took them in because they felt sorry for their family. They just left without thanking the folks who had helped them! Bah~!"
"Come on, if you want to say thank you, you'd also like to thank Gu Xiucai. You just helped a few of their wild vegetable dumplings. Gu Xiucai worked hard to educate him and provided money for his education!"
When Gu Xiucai was mentioned, the people in the village couldn't help but laugh a little.
In the past, everyone respected Gu Xiucai very much. Not only that he was the only scholar in the village, but also that he taught in a large academy in the provincial capital, it was enough to awe people!
But now that the Gu family has suffered such a big setback, the villagers suddenly feel that Gu Xiucai, who was unattainable in the past, has become less aloof.
"Hey! This Gu Xiucai will probably be dumbfounded when he comes back at the end of the month!"
The villagers watched the excitement for a while and then went back to work. The women went up the mountain to see if they could dig some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, while the men went to the fields to see how the crops were growing.
After all, for them, the world is as big as the sky and the earth is full when they are full!
Why!
Many villagers couldn't help but look at the sky. Let it rain quickly so that this year's crops can grow better. They have already had no harvest for two years in a row. If there is no more harvest this year, they will have no chance of survival!
…
late at night.
Two men, one old and one young, knocked on the door of Gu's house. Yang woke up from her dream and thought that her sister-in-law couldn't think of anything again, grabbed her clothes and rushed to Gu Yingxue's house!
Looking at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were still sleeping, Yang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
"My dear mother, you are really scaring me to death every day!"
The knock on the door rang again, louder than before, and this time Old Lady Yin woke up. Looking at her daughter who was lying peacefully, Old Lady Yin's pounding heart relaxed a little.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Mrs. Yin was a little suspicious and couldn't help but look at Yang and asked.
At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded:
"It's me, the old lady. The boss and I are back. Open the door!"
When Mrs. Yin heard that her old man was back, she quickly got out of bed and opened the door!
As soon as Yang heard her father-in-law's voice, she rushed to the door ahead of Mrs. Yin and opened the door quickly.
The moment she saw her husband-in-law, Yang, who had always been carefree and loud, became shy and coy, and whispered that her husband-in-law was back.
Gu Yulang and Mr. Gu both had solemn faces. After seeing Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yin again, they looked at them carefully and saw that they were not injured except for being a little haggard. Their expressions softened a little.
"Where's Yingxue?"
Gu Xiucai looked at Mrs. Yin and asked anxiously.
Gu Yulang also looked at his mother and wife nervously. The reason why he and his father came back late at night was because they knew about Lin Zhixue's ungrateful behavior.
The father was worried that his sister would not be able to think about it, so he rushed back overnight!
"Hey~, she is asleep in the back room. She is pregnant and injured..."
Before Mrs. Yin finished speaking, Gu Xiucai rushed into the room, followed closely by Gu Yulang.
When Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yin saw the father and son entering the house, they quickly locked the door and followed them inside.
As soon as Gu Xiucai entered the room, he saw Gu Yingxue's criss-crossed face, with a painful expression on his usually serious and resolute face.
He held his daughter's hand with red eyes, lowered his head and said nothing for a long time, but his slightly trembling shoulders showed the pain in his heart.
"Dad! I'm going to find Lin Zhixue! I'm going to the capital to sue him!"
When Gu Yulang saw that his beautiful sister was now being killed like this, he, who had always paid attention to gentlemanly etiquette, was so angry that he cursed!
"Boss, if I sue my husband to the law woman, I want to hit him 30 times first, but your sister is weak and can't hold on! What's more, she is still pregnant."
Gu Xiucai stopped Gu Yulang.
"I am the one who is suing! It is not my sister who is suing! What does it have to do with my sister!"
Gu Yulang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had always been gentle and a typical scholar who would not curse anyone, but only scolded Lin Zhixue over and over again.
"Jackals, tigers and leopards", "Scholars have no sense of shame, their clothes are like dogs' pigs", "A rat has skin, but a human has no manners! If a man has no manners, what's the point of not dying?!"
In her sleep, Gu Yingxue vaguely heard her elder brother dropping his book bag again. She struggled to open her eyes and saw her father looking at her with red eyes!
As soon as she saw the father who loved her the most, Gu Yingxue's strength disappeared without a trace. She threw herself into his father's arms and cried out of breath!
Gu Xiucai looked at his daughter who was crying heartbrokenly. His heart was as sharp as a knife. He gently patted her shoulder with his hand, and there were big tears in his eyes.
"Yingxue blames dad! It's dad who mistakenly mistook a jackal for a gentleman! That's why you're in this situation! It's all because dad doesn't understand people well!"
Gu Xiucai's face was full of regret at this time. He thought that his family was very kind to Lin Zhixue, and Lin Zhixue would definitely treat his daughter well!
It's his fault!
It's because he didn't find a good husband for his daughter!
It's him who doesn't recognize people clearly!
"Ouch! Yingxue, please stop crying. You can't cry anymore now."
As soon as Yang entered the room, she saw Gu Yingxue who was crying again and again and quickly advised her.
"You are not alone now. Don't be too sad to do harm to your child!"
After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Gu Xiucai quickly wiped away Gu Yingxue's tears and said to her:
"Yingxue, don't cry. Dad is here and he won't let you suffer any further injustice!"
