Chapter 17 Marriage Agreement 5
Before Gu Mingyue could answer, Lin stood up, protected her daughter behind her, and stared at Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue felt a chill on her back and felt uncomfortable all over when she was looked at like this. She finally gave way reluctantly.
Gu Leyou went into the house to change clothes and slammed the door.
Gu Mingyue was shocked by this, but she didn't plan to leave. She really planned to leave after getting the money.
Anyway, her parents had already told her before she came out, so if she didn't get the money, it would be fine for her to stay at her second uncle and second aunt's house.
Gu Leyou changed her clothes and rolled her eyes at Gu Mingyue as she walked past her.
Gu Mingyue was furious and started scolding her.
"You little bitch, your family isn't a good family. You beat someone up, and not paying compensation is fine, but you even dare to scold me."
Gu Haixiong couldn't tolerate a niece who dared to speak like that to an elder in her uncle's family.
He had a cold face and a cold tone, "Mingyue, no matter what, I am your second uncle, and she is your cousin, how can you say that about her."
"Second uncle, I said my cousin doesn't feel any pain and I didn't hit her. Why do you have to use your status as an elder to pressure me?" Gu Mingyue asked disapprovingly.
"Mingyue, I am your second uncle. After all, I am your elder. You came to our house early in the morning to ask for money. Is that the right thing to do?" Gu Haixiong asked with a frown.
Gu Mingyue stopped pretending and directly stated the real purpose of her visit.
"I'm here today to ask for money. As long as you can give me money, I will leave immediately."
Gu Leyou stopped in the yard, and after a while, he just said lightly: "Dad and Mom, I'm leaving first."
After saying this, she picked up her backpack, opened the yard door and walked out.
As for the money her cousin wanted, her parents should know how to ask for it, so she doesn't need to teach them.
When Gu Mingyue saw Gu Leyou was about to leave, she immediately stood up and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin.
There is no good thing about this niece coming here. My eldest brother’s family are not good people.
"Mingyue, wait a minute, I'll get you the money."
When she heard that there was money to be made, Gu Mingyue's eyes lit up.
He immediately ran back to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down again.
Gu Leyou stood there and winked at her brother. Gu Leshu understood, and she went out with peace of mind.
The herbs I collected last time were not enough, so I'll collect some more this time and see if I can get a ride to the town to buy some radish seeds. This way I can reclaim the vacant land in the yard and plant some vegetables.
It's always faster than pulling them out from the ground. As long as you grow them well, people will buy them and you can earn extra income.
Today, the weather is also very good, with a breeze blowing and a hint of coolness.
She was carrying a backpack and met some neighbors, greeting them warmly.
"Hello, Aunt Li, Uncle Wang. You have to work in the fields so early in the morning. It must be hard work."
"Yes, if we don't get down to the fields early, it will be hard to work when the sun is shining brightly."
At this time, a gossipy villager passed by them and pointed at Gu Leyou from behind.
"I heard that the old lady of the Gu family wouldn't let her out, so why did she come out again?"
"I'm going out to buy some things. What's wrong with that? Is it not okay? Do I have to stay at home all day like you said?"
The gossiping villager smiled awkwardly, "That's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand me."
"Then what do you mean, Auntie?" Gu Leyou asked back.
The gossiping aunt was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Gu Leyou left.
She has to be more careful this time and not let something like last time happen again.
…
It was almost noon when she walked back. She had a good day today. She picked a herb that she had seen in a medical book. It should be helpful to Brother Lu's child.
When she was almost at the entrance of the village, she met a man who was the son of a wealthy man in town.
A person who behaves badly.
When Zheng Yuanhao saw Gu Leyou, his eyes immediately became lustful and his tone was frivolous, "Hey, little girl, why are you alone? Come and have some fun with me."
It’s over. How did I meet this guy?
Gu Leyou ran away.
Zheng Yuanhao was chasing after him relentlessly.
As Gu Leyou was running, he bumped into a strong chest.
She suddenly looked up and saw a familiar face. She felt relieved and after breathing a sigh of relief, she immediately hid behind Lu Yan.
As soon as Zheng Yuanhao saw a big man coming, he immediately spoke rudely.
"Where did you come from, little white face? If you want to be a hero and save the beauty, get out of here right now. Don't treat me as if I'm dating a beauty."
Lu Yan said in a cold tone, "What are you talking about?"
When Zheng Yuanhao heard this, he felt a chill on his back.
But he was still quite tough. After all, he was very unwilling to accept that his beauty was taken away by someone else.
So he gritted his teeth and continued to speak rudely.
"I advise you to mind your own business. I'm well-known in this village. If you mess with me, you'll suffer the consequences. You'd better get as far away from me as possible."
Lu Yan just stared at him, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Zheng Yuanhao is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he sees the other party using force, he becomes soft.
He immediately fell to his knees and began to beg for mercy screaming and howling.
"Please spare my life, please spare my life. I will never dare to do anything to her again."
"Then get out of here quickly and don't let me see you again. If I see you bullying decent women again, I will beat you every time I see you." Lu Yan. He looked fierce and made harsh words.
Zheng Yuanhao didn't dare to delay for a moment and left quickly.
Gu Leyou finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the lecherous man leave.
Only then did she come out to thank Lu Yan, and noticed that he was holding game in his hand, a rabbit.
She asked curiously, "Brother Lu, are you going to take the rabbit back to feed the children?"
"Not really. I'm going to take this rabbit to town to sell it and see if I can get a good price for it. Then I'll collect enough money for the deposit and send it to your house." Lu Yan explained.
The two walked together, talking as they walked.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for helping me again. If I hadn't met you, I would definitely have lost my innocence. He is a notorious bully in our village. Even his father can't control him."
"It's a small matter. Don't take it to heart. I see you are carrying so many things and going to collect herbs again. You should go less often in the future. It's not safe for a girl like you to go into the mountains to collect herbs." Lu Yan said with concern.
"It's okay, Brother Lu. I'm familiar with mountain roads. You don't have to worry about it. Since you're going to town, I'll go with you. I also want to see if I can sell these herbs for a good price."
"Are you still worried about the betrothal gift? I told you I will prepare it myself." Lu Yan emphasized again.
