"Mom, the wild boar sold for twenty taels. You keep this money."
The next morning, Gu Jinan sold the wild boar and gave the money to Wang Yanran.
"You brothers can just keep it. Mother won't need it."
Seeing that the four brothers had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, Wang Yanran felt distressed. How could she still ask the children for the money they had worked so hard to earn from selling wild boars?
"Mother, we should have given you the money we had earlier, but the road was unsafe, so we thought it would be safer to hide it separately. We had a total of 105 taels of silver. Before leaving the inn, we spent 5 taels on some things, leaving us with 100 taels. Each of us brothers hid 25 taels just in case. I'll give you the money from selling the wild boar, and you will be in charge of all the proceeds from now on."
Gu Jinan stuffed the silver into Wang Yanran's hands, and Gu Jinbang, Gu Jinding and Gu Jinguo all nodded.
Mother has been compromising for them brothers over the years, so they should also work hard to let her live a good life!
"Okay, I'll keep the money. If it's not enough, just tell Mom."
Wang Yanran felt relieved. Although she married a scumbag, fortunately her sons were all good people.
The carriage traveled for five consecutive days and was still one day away from Xiangxi.
Seeing that it was getting late, the brothers discussed with Wang Yanran to find an inn in the town to stay tonight and wait until tomorrow to go straight to their hometown in Xiangxi.
Perhaps because they were getting closer to their destination, the four brothers felt much more relaxed.
"Mom, let's go outside for a walk."
It’s rare for the four brothers to go out, so they are very curious about the different environments.
Now that Wang Yanran has recovered a lot and Fubao is also very well behaved, it is okay for the four brothers to go out for a while.
"Okay, go ahead."
The sons have worked hard along the way and now they can relax. Wang Yanran naturally would not refuse.
Just as the brothers left the inn, a group of killers broke in.
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and Fubao suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Mother, there is danger, leave here quickly."
Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Wang Yanran's face changed and she was about to run out with Fubao in her arms.
"Mother, don't go downstairs. Go across the corridor to the brothel across the street."
Hearing that there was danger, Wang Yanran just ran out and didn't notice that Fubao was talking about a brothel.
Wang Yanran rushed through the corridor in a panic, following Fubao's instructions.
"Mother, there's a man in the room ahead who can protect you!"
As soon as Fubao finished speaking, Wang Yanran rushed in.
Bang!
As the door was flung open, a large bathtub appeared. Inside the tub, a handsome middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.
"I, I didn't mean to, I..."
Fear and embarrassment filled Wang Yanran's mind, and she stuttered badly.
"Someone is chasing me, please save me."
What she didn't notice was that the moment the man saw her, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.
When he heard her say that someone was chasing him, he immediately jumped out of the bathtub.
Fortunately, Wang Yanran had her eyes covered and didn't dare to look, otherwise she would have been extremely ashamed and angry.
"Wow, wow, what a great body! This is what a handsome man looks like, a middle-aged handsome man, with broad shoulders, narrow hips, and eight-pack abs..."
Wang Yanran's face became redder and redder, and she quickly covered her daughter's eyes.
"Don't look at it, you'll get stye."
Boom boom boom!
"Did a woman with a child run in there?"
Wang Yanran's heart was in her throat and her body was shaking.
"Don't be afraid, mom, we have handsome uncle to protect us."
Fubao yawned and fell into a deep sleep again. He was so tired from hurrying on.
"roll!"
The man's cold voice sounded familiar. Wang Yanran opened her eyes and found that the man in front of her seemed somewhat similar to the one in her memory.
The people outside heard the sound and retracted their feet that were about to kick the door.
"I'm sorry!"
They recognized the voice of the leader of the martial arts world.
Wang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard no more footsteps outside.
The man turned around and stared at the embarrassed Wang Yanran.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
There was heartache and helplessness in his tone.
"Are you, Fu Yuanzhou?"
Wang Yanran was stunned, then asked tentatively.
This man was really different from the fat boy I had in mind. The fat boy's face was all crammed together, lacking those large, focused eyes and strong features.
"Finally I recognized it."
Fu Yuanzhou smiled, as if he had returned to his childhood sweetheart days.
When they were young, the Fu family and the Wang family were neighbors. Others bullied Fu Yuanzhou for being fat, but Wang Yanran was the only one who did not despise him and was willing to play house and marry him.
Later, the Fu family moved away, and Fu Yuanzhou was determined to make himself a muscular man to marry Wang Yanran. However, he was too late, and Wang Yanran had already married a poor scholar.
He left only after seeing that she was living a relatively happy life and had given birth to two sons.
His family forced him to marry and have children, but he had no feelings for other women, so he left home and became the leader of the martial arts world.
"Isn't Gu Jinyu the Shangshu now? Why don't you enjoy the good life with him in the Shangshu Mansion?"
After leaving, he didn't ask about Wang Yanran's situation again, thinking that she was doing well.
Wang Yanran smiled bitterly. Perhaps it was because she saw her childhood friend that she didn't feel like telling him about the pain she had gone through over the years.
"What, how dare he do this to you!"
Fu Yuanzhou couldn't understand at all how a man could plot against a woman in this way.
"Didn't he kneel before your parents and promise to treat you well for the rest of his life? How could he, how could he treat you like this?"
He took her dowry, her son, framed her for impurity, and even killed her own daughter...
So many dangerous things happened to a weak woman!
"Was the killer this time also sent by that man?"
Fu Yuanzhou couldn't stand it anymore, he wanted to kill that man. Why? The woman he wanted to protect but couldn't get was being tortured like this?
“I don’t know, maybe it was sent by his current wife Shen Yunyun, but he must have agreed.”
Wang Yanran couldn't help crying again, and Fu Yuanzhou hurried to comfort her.
"Don't cry, I'll help you kill that bastard!"
Wang Yanran shook her head: "No, killing him would be too easy for him. He bullied and humiliated me. I must destroy the most important thing to him and make him die in pain."
Gu Jinyu harmed her, her family, her son, and was about to harm her daughter. How could she let him die so easily?
"Okay, I'll help you then."
Fu Yuanzhou clenched his fists, he really couldn't let the man die too easily.
"Yanran, what are your plans for the future?"
Fu Yuanzhou glanced at the baby in her arms, and then his eyes were completely attracted to it. What a soft and tender child.
Fubao opened his big eyes just at the right moment and looked at him with blinking eyes.
Fu Yuanzhou instantly suppressed all his murderous aura, and even his expression softened a little.
