After Gu Xin came in, Gu Nian left shortly after.
She opened the door and saw Zhang Yungui sitting dumbly in the mud.
She took a silver note out of her pocket and handed it to Zhang Yungui: "Zhang Yungui, this time, you will accept this money, right? I've already apologized, but I'll say it again. I apologize to you for what I did to Gu Nian. I don't know how much those things are worth, but this is definitely enough. If you don't want it anymore, I won't mention it again, but I don't owe you anything."
Zhang Yungui looked at the silver notes in Gu Nian's hand and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Heh, the Gu Nian of the past? The Gu Nian of the past would never have been willing to give me silver."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked at Gu Nian: "Now that you're making money, you don't need to coax men to buy you jewelry and cosmetics anymore. A casual remark about the past Gu Nian, plus this banknote, can erase the feelings I had for you for those two years?"
Gu Nian: "Do you want the silver notes? If not, I'll throw them away; that will be my way of returning the money to you!"
Zhang Yungui's lips moved, his fist clenched: "Gu Nian, I curse you, may your love life be filled with misfortune, and may you meet a tragic end! The person you love, you will never have! I wish you suffer the same fate I've inflicted on you these past two years! I wish you will suffer because of..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Nian threw down the silver note, turned around, went back into the house, and closed the door.
"Gu Nian, I wish you'll never get the person you love and suffer the same fate as me. I'm waiting to see your downfall!"
Gu Nian leaned against the door, closed her eyes, and silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.
She didn't open her eyes until she heard footsteps outside.
She let out a long sigh. Original owner, original owner, look at the mess you've made, he must be cursing you, not me!
Thinking this, Gu Nian opened the door again and saw that the silver note was not outside, and finally felt relieved.
...
Zhang Yungui's curse was quite harsh, but he didn't spread rumors that his family had offended the Gu family or that all the troubles in his family were because of the Gu family.
When the Zhang family women said this, most of the villagers didn't believe them.
The Zhang family had to go to great lengths to help Zhang Lizheng, who was in prison, while they could only send some good food to Zhang Yunfu, who had been sentenced to death.
The Zhang family has one more thing to do: bring Zhang Yunfu's two sons back. Regardless of whether Zhang Yunfu's wife is willing to come back or not, the two children must be brought back. In Dazhou, whether it's a divorce or a separation, the children cannot go with the woman unless the man's side agrees.
The Gu family didn't care about anything the Zhang family did, and Gu Nian never told anyone that Zhang Yungui had cursed her, because she didn't take it to heart at all. Xu Changfeng had also cursed her before, but she didn't believe in evil spirits.
The Gu family is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A letter arrived from Madam Li, informing her that Empress Dowager Jiang was to depart for the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Therefore, she planned to invite the Gu family to the prefectural city to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and to bid farewell to Empress Dowager Jiang.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian meant that this was their first Mid-Autumn Festival since they came here, and they probably wouldn't be able to return to the village after next year. Therefore, they wanted to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival at home, and after discussing it, they declined Madam Li's offer.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a very important holiday, a time for family reunions, second only to the Lunar New Year.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Uncle Gu was carrying a wooden mallet in the yard, pounding glutinous rice cakes in a stone mortar. He rarely showed his arms, but this strenuous work revealed the muscles in his arms.
Gu Nian held Gu Ren and watched from the side. Both of them felt extremely regretful. Such beautifully shaped arms were wasted on making glutinous rice cakes!
