Chapter 195 Today is the Day
After learning that Shi Wen had taken a fancy to Gu Lan, Gu Mingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The Shi family really is eyeing our family like a disaster, but it also shows that this guy has good taste."
Gu Lan was originally quite annoyed, but was amused by his words.
Gu Mingjing also laughed, "That's good. A girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. This shows that you are good. But that boy is really not worthy of you. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of youth and strength, but he can't stand the slightest bit of fatigue and complains all day long. How can this be acceptable?"
Gu Lan's mood improved a lot. "Even if he wasn't like this, I wouldn't marry him."
Gu Mingjing smiled and said, "Mumu, you just said someone would take care of him, what did you mean?"
Li Mumu smiled. "He's so annoying, someone will definitely take care of him. Besides... I heard that he often asks for things from the sisters in the village."
"Oh, this guy is really good. He flirts with other girls and then turns around to look for our girl from the Gu family?" Gu Ming sneered, "What a spineless guy."
"Which girl is so blind? Why don't you go and remind her?" Song Qiang said.
As a woman, if I marry such an unlucky man, I will be miserable for the rest of my life.
There are quite a few girls in the village who have never been to school. When they see a literate and worldly-wise young man, they are naturally attracted to him.
However, Li Mumu also felt sorry for the girl Yun Qiao, whose innocence was ruined by Shi Wen and who was not allowed to marry him, and was eventually beaten to death.
Especially Miss Yun Qiao, she was honest and not as lively as other girls. She had hardly spoken a few words to Shi Wen at all.
Madam Gu shook her head. "It's inappropriate to remind you of this rashly. We don't have any evidence."
Gu Yuru nodded. "Yeah, it's fine if you think positively. But if you're narrow-minded, they might think we're showing off, which won't be good for Lan'er."
Song Qiang was not angry and nodded, but he was more worried that a girl would fall into his hands.
Shi Wen did not give up. He thought that Gu Lan might be shy, after all, it was in front of her mother.
He planned to go find her alone.
However, after squatting for a few days, he finally found an opportunity and suddenly jumped out from the firewood pile. Gu Lan was so scared that he kicked him into the snow.
"Ah!" Shi Wen gasped in pain and got up from the ground in a panic, "Miss Lan'er, it's me."
Gu Lan frowned, "Why are you here?"
She had just sent the girls who were learning embroidery out. Even though it was broad daylight, she was suddenly frightened by someone and she subconsciously took action.
What puzzled her was why he didn't go to the quarry today.
"I... Miss Lan'er, I know your mother was there last time. I'm sorry, but I wanted to come..."
Gu Lan frowned, "Shi Wen, are you out of your mind? I've already told you clearly that I won't marry you. Stop dreaming. Don't you understand?"
Shi Wen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, if you don't have that kind of feelings for me, why do you always come out every time I'm in the yard? Aren't you... Don't be shy, there are only the two of us here. Don't worry, I don't mind that you've been married before."
"What's wrong with me being married? You don't mind, but I do."
"You...what do you mind?" Shi Wen asked.
"I don't mind you, a man with bad intentions who lives off you." Gu Lan snorted coldly, "You are in your yard, and I am in mine. How can it be that I seduced you? I was there when you were not there. Is it because you came to the yard that I can't come?"
Gu Lan took a breath, and was really amused by this bizarre remark. "A self-righteous man like you, if the sow in the pigpen looked at you a few more times, would you also think that the sow liked you and would you marry her too?"
"You...you...you bitch, how could you..."
“Bang!”
Gu Lan slapped him directly, "If you scold me once, I will hit you once, so go ahead and scold me."
"Lan'er, what took you so long?" Song Qiang saw that it was Shi Wen and immediately understood, "You little brat, what are you doing here?"
Shi Wen was a timid man, so he walked away in fear.
If Gu Lan hadn't stopped her, Song Qiang would have chased after him and scolded him.
"Forget it, Second Aunt, I've already beaten him."
"This brat just won't give up." Song Qiang said angrily.
Gu Lan curled his lips and pulled her back to the house.
When Li Mumu found out, she wondered if the plot point was about to come.
So she secretly stared at the Shi family.
Since there was no specific time described, she could only guess.
Coincidentally, Li Yunqiao came to Gu's house in the evening.
"Yun Qiao, why are you here?"
"Sister Gu, I...I...I want you to help me take a look. I made a mistake in the embroidery here. Is it serious?"
Gu Lan took a look and saw that there were indeed many stitches that were wrong. Her expression looked unhappy. "Indeed, it is wrong."
"Then I'd better tear it down?" Li Yunqiao sighed.
"Not really. I'll add some transitional colors here so it doesn't look so abrupt."
Li Yunqiao said somewhat embarrassedly: "Then...will it take a long time?"
"No need, I'll help you, it'll be quick."
However, the modification was more troublesome than the direct embroidery. By the time the two of them finished, it was already dark.
Gu Lan was worried about Li Yunqiao going back alone, so he offered to take her back.
"No need. Our two houses are only a few steps away. You can get there in a matter of minutes. Look, you can see our front door from where you stand. You are pregnant, so please don't bother."
Li Yunqiao said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry enough for disturbing your rest. We don't have so many things to do in the countryside."
Gu Lan still felt that it was getting dark and she was worried.
Li Mumu said, "Cousin, Sister Yun Qiao is right, just listen to her."
"That's right, it's okay, just take a rest, I'll come back tomorrow morning."
After Li Yunqiao finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave.
Li Mumu also went to the yard to see him off. In the cold wind, she smelled the smell of alcohol.
This body's sense of smell was different from that of an ordinary person. She looked at the others and they didn't seem to feel anything.
It seems that it should be today.
After Li Yunqiao left, the door of the Gu family was closed.
But when he turned around, Li Mumu was about to go out with his brothers.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Lan asked.
Li Mumu blinked and said, "Go and send Sister Yun Qiao off."
"You just..."
"She already said no, so if we bring it up again, she'll be embarrassed."
"You little girl, go and come back quickly." Gu Lan said.
Li Mumu pulled her eldest and second brothers. As for the third brother, he was too slow and arrived too late. She was afraid that Shi Wen would really take advantage of him.
Sure enough, after the three brothers and sisters jumped down from the courtyard wall, they saw in the moonlight that Li Yunqiao was dragged into a pile of firewood dozens of steps away.
