Chapter 5 How about I marry him?
In her previous life, Chang Xixi got up early to prepare for the exam, and now after traveling through time, she still can't change the habit of getting up early.
She looked at the lonely bowl in the yard. After a heavy rain last night, the bowl was full of water. She inexplicably thought of the poor guy again. She didn't know if the little broken house could withstand the heavy rain. It might collapse overnight.
"Never mind, I'm just a kind-hearted person."
She picked up the bowl and went back to cook porridge obediently. The rice was all gone and she didn't have time to go to the city to buy more. She could only eat noodles today and would go shopping in the afternoon.
It was easier to cook than porridge. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chang Xixi had cooked a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles. Noodles would become mushy if left for too long, so she only cooked one portion, intending to send it to Gu Rongyu first, and then come back to cook new ones for her family and herself.
Yesterday, everyone saw Chang Xixi carrying food to the foot of the mountain. Today, everyone was used to it. Chang Xixi greeted everyone she met as usual, trying to increase the villagers' favorability first, so that it would be easier for her to do whatever she wanted in the village in the future.
Worried that Gu Rongyu's small, dilapidated house would really be washed down by the heavy rain, Chang Xixi walked quickly. Only after seeing from a distance that the small, dilapidated house was still intact did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She hurried to the small shabby house and walked in without being invited. Before she saw anyone, she heard many footsteps behind her.
She looked back and saw seven or eight people coming to the front of the small shabby house. Chang Xixi was very familiar with this posture. It was exactly the same as the posture when Zhang Xiucai came to the house to ask for a beating yesterday.
The tall and strong man who led the group ignored Chang Xixi and shouted into the house, "Gu Rongyu, get out of here!"
A light cough was heard in the originally silent room. Gu Rongyu, dressed spotlessly, walked out of the room. His complexion looked worse than yesterday, and it was obvious that his condition had worsened.
Chang Xixi was puzzled. What on earth was wrong with Gu Rongyu? He drank the porridge she made with spiritual spring water yesterday. Logically, if the illness couldn't be cured immediately, it should have improved. Why did it get worse?
When people passed by, Chang Xixi greeted them: "Hi, so you are here. I didn't hear you just now and thought you were not at home."
Gu Rongyu ignored her and walked up to the tall and strong man.
"Uncle Pang, what do you want from me?"
"You're nearly dying of illness, so of course we're here to break off the engagement with you."
After Uncle Pang finished speaking, a petite woman who had been hiding behind him came out and said to Gu Rongyu with an apologetic look on her face, "Brother Gu, you're going to die anyway, so why don't you leave this shabby house to me?"
"You know my family is large and has little land. More than a dozen of us live together in one place. I..."
The woman probably couldn't say anything, so she lowered her head and didn't even dare to look at Gu Rongyu.
Uncle Pang disliked her shyness and slowness of speech. "Don't worry, you can continue to live in this house for now, and we'll move in after you die. You can't take your body into the coffin after you die anyway, so it's better to let your vicious stepmother leave it to us. After all, our Pang family has an engagement with you."
After listening for a long time, Chang Xixi finally understood. It turned out that the Pang family was here to steal the house!
Not to mention that Gu Rongyu is not dead yet, even if Gu Rongyu is dead, the house will not belong to their Pang family, right?
Gu Rongyu frowned in embarrassment: "Uncle Pang is right."
What?
Chang Xixi stared at Gu Rongyu in disbelief. She wondered if this man had lost his mind. She was about to scold him to wake him up, but she heard Gu Rongyu continue talking.
"This house really can't fall into the hands of my stepmother, but after I die, she will never give it to you easily. You all know what kind of person she is. After all, it's not legitimate for me to give the house to you. I'm afraid..."
The Pang family members looked at each other with ugly expressions, as if they were thinking of that troublesome evil woman. Even if they got the land deeds and house deeds now, that evil woman would definitely come to make trouble for the house.
"Actually, this problem is easy to solve. As long as Miss Pang marries me before I die, then when I die, Miss Pang can legitimately inherit the house."
After these words were spoken, Chang Xixi, who had previously criticized Gu Rongyu as a fool, just wanted to give him a thumbs up.
This is such a clever move. No one would be stupid enough to marry a dying person just for a broken house.
Sure enough, the Pang family members' faces changed drastically after hearing this, and anger was visible on their faces.
"Gu Rongyu, you want my girl to be a widow for you!"
"You wish, boss, let's go."
"That's right, a dying man is still dreaming of exchanging a shabby house for a wife. Even a fool wouldn't be willing to marry him!"
Gu Rongyu's expression remained calm. "Only my wife can inherit my house. Since Miss Pang doesn't want to marry, then forget it."
Uncle Pang spat angrily, "Bah, I don't think anyone will inherit your house, so you might as well burn it down and take it to hell."
"Who said there's no one to inherit?"
Chang Xixi walked to Gu Rongyu with egg noodles in her hand and stuffed the bowl into his arms.
She said very seriously, "If I marry you, both the house and you will be mine."
The Pang family members who were about to leave turned around and looked at Chang Xixi with expressions of astonishment, as if they were watching a clown.
Uncle Pang raised his eyebrows, "Who are you to talk nonsense here? When did it become your turn to butt in on our family affairs?" He added doubtfully, "Are you willing to marry this sickly person?"
"What's wrong with getting married? Since your daughter is already engaged to him, why not consummate the marriage? And you're still thinking about getting the property after he dies. How shameless of you to do that."
Gu Rongyu raised his eyelids slightly, "Uncle Pang is right."
Chang Xixi opened her eyes wide. This man was really crazy. "No, I said I would marry you, and I will marry you." She said this sincerely and honestly.
