Shen Ningsi's expression gradually darkened as he listened to what they said.

She also had some worries in her heart.

Especially after spending some time together, she found that she had already developed some feelings for Gu Hong.

Although this man seemed to have a bad temper, he was indeed very kind to the mother and her children.

"Why are you feeling guilty? Why are you not talking?"

"That's right. Even though she discovered potatoes and other things for us, so what? She's just a peasant! She's not worthy of General Gu!"

Everyone was talking at once.

Shen Ningsi’s expression became even uglier.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute these people, the door of the yard that had just been closed suddenly opened.

Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu walked out aggressively, one of them holding a weapon in his hand.

"You ignorant village women, shut up!"

Gu Hong also walked out of the yard with a gloomy face, with a cloth tied on his hands.

However, it did not affect the evil aura emanating from him at all.

"General Gu, we're all doing this for your own good. When you get to the capital, you can marry any rich girl you want. Why waste your time on a village girl like her?"

"That's right. If you pity her, then take her in and make her a concubine! You can still marry a noble lady from a high-ranking official's family. Your future career will be a meteoric rise!"

These people had heard that someone from the Gu family was coming from the capital, so they rushed over eagerly, wanting to show their faces in front of Gu Hong.

"Are you teaching me how to do things? You really take yourself so seriously that you don't even take a piss and look in the mirror! If Shen Ningsi is a village woman, then what are you? A cancer? Maggots?"

Gu Hong looked at some people coldly. At this moment, he was on the verge of getting furious.

"General Gu, how can you say that? We all came here with good intentions. We were just worried that you might get possessed by evil spirits. We..."

"Shut up right there, you bunch of ungrateful bastards! If it weren't for my mother, the grass on your graves would be three feet tall by now."

Gu Xiuwu looked at these people fiercely.

"Hey, Gu Xiuwu, don't think we don't know who you are. You're not General Gu's biological son, so don't yell at us!"

The villagers of Wanning Village don't buy it. At this moment, they just want to show off in front of Gu Hong.

It would be best if we could get even a little benefit.

If I'm lucky, maybe he can even take me to the capital!

These villagers all began to make their own plans.

"That's right. Your mother discovered the potatoes and saved us, but the court also rewarded her. Do you really want us to remember her kindness forever? As a human being, you should be more sensible!"

"That's right. Even though she saved the lives of our entire village, we can't go against our conscience right now!"

The villagers all had an expression of great benevolence and righteousness on their faces.

After listening to it, Shen Ningsi just thought it was very funny.

In the past, she thought that the villagers in ancient times should be very simple and honest.

At this moment, she suddenly understood where the word "tiaomin" came from! Aren't these people in front of her the tiaomin?

After these people finished speaking, they all looked at Gu Hong with a flattering look on their faces.

"If you keep talking, I'll cut off your tongues and feed them to the dogs!"

After Gu Hong finished speaking, he used his uninjured right hand to take out a dagger that was shining coldly from his arms.

When the villagers saw his actions, they covered their mouths in horror.

When Ana Shen saw his movements, the expression on his face eased a lot.

At this time, she had lost her last bit of patience with Wanning Village!

The villagers here are more selfish than each other. The phrase "demolishing the bridge after crossing it" is the most appropriate to describe them!

When Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu heard Gu Hong say this, the expressions on their faces relaxed.

The two brothers looked at each other, walked in front of Shen Ningsi, and comforted her softly.

"Mom, don't pay attention to these people. They have no heart or lungs. We shouldn't have saved them in the first place. Let them starve to death and die of thirst!"

Gu Xiuwu looked at the disgusting faces of those people and wanted to rush up and tear their mouths apart.

"Xiuwu, mother doesn't care what these people say." Shen Ningsi reached out and touched Gu Xiuwu's head, with a smile on her face.

With these children who care about and love her, what does she have to worry about?

Even if Gu Hong's family doesn't accept her at that time, what can they do?

With the countless knowledge in her head that surpasses that of people of her generation, it would only take a little effort for her to take care of these children!

Thinking of this, she felt relieved!

At this time, Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu also felt that Shen Ningsi was not as depressed as at the beginning.

"All of you shut up! If Shen Ningsi is not worthy of being my wife, then no one in this world is worthy! You don't have to gossip here! I'm not blind!"

Gu Hong looked at these people coldly.

"It's okay that you guys wentssiped about me a few times before, but you absolutely shouldn't have done that to us now."

Gu Hong's face had a very gloomy expression, which made the villagers feel a little scared.

Some of the timid ones' legs have become weak.

"You... Gu Hong, General Gu, what do you want to do? Don't mess around, we are upright citizens!"

"Good citizens? You? Haha, I don't want to do anything. I just want to send you troublemakers to jail for two days! If Sisi finds any good crops again, you families can forget about it!"

Gu Hong's words hit these people's hearts like a bolt from the blue.

"Gu Hong, how could you do this to us? We are all doing this for your own good, but you are really ungrateful!"

They were very anxious.

"Chen Ningsi, it's a waste that we all trust you so much, but now you are actually seeking revenge!"

These villagers didn’t dare to offend Gu Hong, so they turned their eyes to Shen Ningsi.

After all, you always pick the softest persimmons to squeeze!

Shen Ningsi finally laughed. These villagers were so funny!

"Even if I'm seeking revenge, what can I do? You're allowed to do it on the first day, but I'm not allowed to do it on the fifteenth? You're all here, and you're repaying kindness with resentment. Do I really have to let you humiliate me?"

"Chen Ningsi, that's not what I meant. Only if you help us will His Majesty look at you differently. Don't think we don't know, it's actually us who made you what you are!"
