Chapter 1: The Angry Man Who Pawns His Wife
Rumble!
After the thunder, heavy rain came.
In the woodshed of a remote village, Mrs. Gao was beating a young woman with a rolling pin.
"You are just the one we bought to bear our child, yet you dare to bite my son? I will beat you to death!"
After saying this, Mrs. Gao hit the woman on the head with force.
The woman had disheveled hair and was covered in wounds. Having been hungry for a day, her reactions were a little slow. She was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by the blow.
"Mom, stop hitting her. If you kill her, we will be in trouble." Yan Daniu, a man who had been watching from a distance, saw the woman faint and hurried over to hold the mother.
Mrs. Gao snorted coldly and cursed, "You useless thing! It's just a pawned wife. Why feel sorry for her? You have to return her after she gives birth to the child."
"Mom, you all know that this is a pawning of my wife, so it's normal that she doesn't want to. But if something goes wrong during the beating, how can I give you a grandson?" Yan Daniu looked at the woman with a great figure and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
When Mrs. Gao saw her son's expression, how could she not understand what this meant?
snort!
She snorted coldly, threw away the stick in her hand, and ordered, "Come to her a few more times, finish giving birth soon so that she can go away, otherwise it will be a waste of food to keep her."
"I understand, Mom, you can go out now!" Yan Daniu was anxious to get things done here.
Mrs. Gao had no objection. After all, the woman who came back from Dian was used as a vent for her son.
It's because their family is poor and they have no money to pay for a marriage, so they can only choose this method to continue the family line.
"Mom, she's gone, gone..." Old Lady Yan pushed her mother out of the woodshed, closed the door, and pounced on the woman on the ground.
…
ah……
With a splitting headache, Gu Xiaoxi almost forgot what he had done?
Why do I still dream about a sloppy man being violent towards me?
ah……
She suddenly screamed in pain and pushed the man away.
Feeling the pain, she looked around in disbelief.
Countless memories that did not belong to him flooded into his mind, and the man rushed over again, cursing.
"Bitch, stop pretending to be so noble. If your in-laws really loved you, they wouldn't have sent you here to be pawned as a wife. My mother spent two taels of silver to buy you to have children with." Yan Daniu said as he was about to get rude to Gu Xiaoxi.
However, Gu Xiaoxi at this moment was no longer the timid and submissive woman she used to be.
Memories flooded his mind, and Gu Xiaoxi finally understood what was going on.
She kicked the man away and then beat him up without any mercy.
In her previous life, she was a candidate for the next patriarch of the Gu family, who practiced both Chinese and Western medicine. In order to convince others, the old patriarch held a competition among fellow disciples.
If she hadn't accidentally entered the Gu family's forbidden area and got into danger, she wouldn't have traveled to this damn place?
However, she also knew that this meant that no matter how brilliant her previous life was, it was over, and she had traveled through time and space to become the body of a village woman with the same name.
Gu Xiaoxi once married Tao Yuheng, that son of a bitch, for love. That bastard spent all her dowry, and in order to marry someone better, he actually thought she was in the way and sold her to someone else as a pawned wife.
Pawning a wife, she had seen this kind of thing in ancient books before.
If a family's wife is unable to bear children, in order to continue their family line, in addition to taking concubines, another method is to "rent a wife" to a poor family, also known as "renting a marriage" or "borrowing a belly".
However, in this case, many rich people who cannot have children choose to use this method.
There are also some men who cannot afford to marry, so they rent a woman to have children with.
The original owner belonged to the latter. Although the Tao family was not very rich, they were not so wealthy as to pawn their wife.
The original owner was really unlucky to marry into such a vicious family.
Yan Daniu was beaten black and blue. He originally wanted to rent a woman to warm his bed and give birth to his child, but he didn't expect that she would be so brutal.
"Take out the contract for pawning your wife, otherwise, I will make sure you can never be a man again!" Gu Xiaoxi patted his dirty hands in disgust and said coldly.
"Well, that thing is not on me, it's on..." Yan Daniu was beaten again before he could finish his words.
"You mean that thing is in your mother's hand, right?" After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi slashed Yan Daniu's neck with a knife, knocking the man unconscious.
There was a hemp rope in the woodshed that was usually used to tie firewood. She used the rope to tie up Yan Daniu, and then went to deal with the evil woman.
The original owner was beaten to death by the evil old woman, but she had two poor daughters, so she couldn't kill anyone for the time being.
Although we cannot kill the evil woman now, we must not let her have an easy life.
Rumble!
It was windy and rainy outside, and she suddenly appeared at the door of Mrs. Gao's room with disheveled hair, like a demon from hell.
Inside the room, Mrs. Gao had just climbed onto the bed, ready to go to sleep, her face still beaming with joy: "Finally, I have the chance to hold my grandson. I hope that little bitch gets pregnant, otherwise, it will be a big loss."
clang!
The dilapidated door was kicked open and a figure rushed in at an extremely fast speed.
When Mrs. Gao saw the black shadow, she thought she saw a ghost and wanted to scream, but before she could do so, she saw someone standing in front of the bed.
Crackle!
When Gu Xiaoxi saw this evil woman, he became furious and beat her up without saying a word.
After beating him, she sat on a tattered chair and said coldly, "Bring out the deed, or I'll cut off your son's penis and feed it to the dogs tonight!"
Only then did Mrs. Gao see clearly that the person who attacked her was actually that little bitch. She struggled to get up and was about to curse, but she found that the little bitch's aura was very strong, completely different from before.
Rumble!
There was another thunder outside. She usually did a lot of bad things, and a terrible idea arose in her heart.
I'm afraid that this bastard has been possessed by a ghost because he has done too many immoral things.
No no no!
She was born into a wealthy family and finally raised her son, but her husband passed away. If her son lost the ability to have children, how would she face her husband when she goes to hell?
"Give it to you, give it to you. I'll give it to you. You, you let my son go." She said tremblingly and took out the deed from under the pillow.
Gu Xiaoxi snatched the deed and took a look at it in the dim light.
The characters here are the traditional Chinese characters they often use in prescribing medicine. Although the handwriting is not good-looking, she can understand the content.
This is a normal deed. What makes it different from the wife-lending deeds I’ve seen before is that this deed doesn’t even have a notary.
"You signed this with the Tao family, why is there no notary?" she asked.
Mrs. Gao stammered, "The Tao family said they need a notary. Yeah, it'll cost an extra ounce of silver. I, I can't bear it."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, she roughly understood the original owner's in-laws' intentions.
Without a notary, when the original owner gives birth to a child for this family, they can refuse to acknowledge that she was a pawned wife and can claim to the outside world that the original owner ran away with a strange man.
However, there was a period in the original owner's memory where her husband Tao Yuheng emptied her dowry and gave birth to a pair of daughters. Mrs. Jiang secretly introduced many women to Tao Yuheng.
One of them was the daughter of Mr. Yan from Yanjia Village. However, Miss Yan had a request, which was not to be a stepmother.
Oh no!
The original owner was sold as a pawned wife, and I'm afraid the two daughters will suffer as well.
Thinking of this, she turned around and ran out with the deed.
