Gu Wanwan flashed and hid behind a big tree next to the cowshed, looking at the little girl who knocked on the door.
The girl was about ten years old. She looked well-behaved and honest, but her eyes revealed a hint of greed.
Gu Changcheng heard the noise, opened the door and saw the girl outside, "Whose child are you? What are you doing in the cowshed so late at night?"
Not to mention Shen Qing was very confused, even the Pei couple thought it was inappropriate. Which good child would go out at night? And to a place like the cowshed.
Ye Sijun thought for a moment and recognized the girl outside the door. "Isn't this the great-granddaughter of Mrs. Gu? Li Pangni's daughter, Gu Daxiu. I've seen her picking grass for pigs before."
Gu Daxiu took out a few White Rabbit candies from his pocket and said innocently, "Auntie Gu is very nice. She gave me a lot of candies and some food to fill my stomach. Auntie couldn't come out, so she asked me to come find you. I ran away secretly. My grandma, my parents love my brother very much, and they don't care whether I'm at home or not."
Hearing her say this, Shen Qinghao and Ye Sijun couldn't help but sympathize with the girl's experience. They had heard that Mrs. Gu was a woman who favored boys over girls. She treated her male grandchildren as treasures and her female grandchildren as weeds. The worst off were Gu Qingtang and her two sons, followed by the two daughters of Li Xiuhong's second son.
"So that's how it is, poor child. I have a steamed bun here. I'll get it for you..." Ye Sijun went back into the house and took out the only remaining steamed bun. "Eat it, child. Mrs. Gu won't find out."
"I already have food, you can't have it..." Gu Daxiu pushed the steamed bread back, but it was forcibly stuffed into her hand. "I'm helping Aunt Gu get things, and I should leave after I get them. Otherwise, if I stay too long, people will find me."
Shen Qinghao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Gu Changcheng.
Gu Changcheng shook his head gently and said to her in a kind tone, "Please tell my daughter that the things are lost."
"How come you can't find it? Was it stolen?" When Gu Daxiu realized that he was too excited, he immediately changed his expression to worried, "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, you have to be careful in the future. The Du family in the village has been robbed. If you have anything important, I can help you hide it."
After she mentioned this, Pei Shengtao remembered what happened in the village recently. "The village is indeed not very safe. During the time when you went to the farm, the villagers of Qingshan often came to Xiangyang Village to hang out. They went to the cowshed with Yan Dewang and went into the mountains. They also brought a compass with them. I wonder what they were looking for?"
Gu Changcheng had a solemn expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Shen Qing was so worried. What could she look for? She just wanted to find the whereabouts of the treasure. Although she was the adopted daughter of the Shen family, she really didn't know the whereabouts of the treasure. Thinking back, the reason why their Gu family and the Shen family were demoted was, firstly, for the ancestral treasure, and secondly, to weaken the upper five families.
In fact, there is another legend about the ancestral treasures. It is said that every treasure trove is blessed by a dragon ball. Getting the dragon ball is equivalent to getting the dragon vein, and one can become the supreme ruler. Moreover, if one collects all the dragon balls, one can get the supreme divine power in the dragon balls, and all your wishes can come true, such as immortality, wealth and power, and dominating the world.
This is how the legend was passed down. Whether it is true or not remains to be verified. The possibility of exaggeration cannot be ruled out. Anyway, it became incredible in the end!
"Child, go back quickly and be safe."
Gu Daxiu failed to complete the task. She lowered her head in a disappointed manner, tears streaming down her face. "Grandpa and grandma, you are so kind to me. It would be so great if I were your granddaughter. In the future...can I still come to see you? I know you taught my cousins, and I want to study, but my family thinks I am a waste of money and is unwilling to spend more money on my studies."
Ye Sijun was the most vulnerable person, so he agreed without thinking, "Teaching one is also teaching. If you want to come, come over, but don't let anyone find out."
"Thank you. When I go to school, I will repay my grandparents!" Gu Daxiu's face lit up with joy. Then he bowed deeply and turned to leave the cowshed.
After they walked away, she took out the steamed bread, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times, "Stinky steamed bread, who wants it?"
Those two bastards, Shen Nianyu and Shen Zhitian, could be loved by the four elders, so why couldn't she?
One day, she would snatch the old couple Gu away, kick out the two bastards, and become their most beloved granddaughter.
Maybe others are not clear about the identity of the old man in the cowshed, but she overheard the conversation between Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Zeng, who said that Grandpa and Grandma Gu were big shots in Beijing and had a powerful background. As long as she behaved well and defeated Grandpa and Grandma Gu, they would definitely take her away from Xiangyang Village when they left the cowshed.
Humph, my aunt-in-law and her two sons are really cunning. They must have known that the Gu family’s grandparents were of noble status, so they rushed to curry favor with them.
When she was fantasizing about the beautiful dawn, it was about to come true...
Gu Wanwan activated her special ability and quietly tripped the girl.
The girl fell to the ground instantly. With a click, one of her front teeth was broken. "Ah..."
Gu Wanwan sneered. Although she was young, she had a big mind. She was worthy of being Li Pangni’s daughter.
The abacus beads all fell on my grandparents' faces.
Inside the cowshed, Pei Shengtao was still a little confused, "Why would your daughter look for the granddaughter of the Gu family?"
Chen Qinghao frowned and sighed helplessly, "The Gu family of Xiangyang Village is somewhat related to our Gu family in Jing City. This Gu family is the son of Uncle Changcheng. My father-in-law is a legitimate lineage, and my uncle is a concubine's lineage. In fact, my uncle is the son of the concubine's wife's ex-husband. He changed his surname to Gu after he was brought to the Gu family. He has no blood relationship with my father-in-law. Gu Po's family is considered a branch of the Gu family. In fact, my Gu family is not familiar with the branch. The legitimate and concubine's two rooms had a falling out in the early years."
"There's no need to vent the grudges of the older generation on the younger generation. Whether it's Gu Qingtang and his mother, or Gu Daxiu, they are all pitiful people. Maybe my daughter doesn't trust other villagers, so she went to Gu Daxiu."
The Pei couple suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect that you and Mrs. Gu's family have such a connection."
Gu Wanwan teleported behind the tree in the cowshed again, and pulled out a backpack from the space. She put two kilograms of rice and flour, two taels of brown sugar, a can of malted milk, two days' worth of sausages and bacon, etc. into it, and also prepared some spare clothes and quilts.
Of course, they were all specially processed, and Fuzai patched the clothes and quilts crazily.
Finally, I packed up rice and a pot of stewed chicken soup from the restaurant on the pedestrian street.
When everything was almost ready, he knocked on the cowshed door.
"Who is it?" Gu Changcheng's vigilant voice sounded.
Gu Wanwan replied casually, "It's me, Gu Wanwan."
With a creaky sound, the broken door was opened. Gu Changcheng and Shen Qing looked at their granddaughter in shock.
The grandfather, grandson, and three other people looked at each other, sobbing without saying a word. It was the Pei couple who reminded them, "Come in first, and talk inside if you have anything to say."
Gu Wanwan looked at her grandparents who looked the same as they do today, her eyes slightly reddened, "Grandpa and grandma, I brought you some delicious food, eat first."
