With a cry of "Wah!", Guo Wan ran away crying.
"Sister!" Guo Yan chased after him from the vegetable garden. As he passed the gate, he reached out to hit Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng grabbed his wrist without much effort, and Guo Yan begged for mercy in pain.
These were, after all, Gu Sangu's in-laws. Beating them too badly was not good for Gu Sangu, so Lu Zheng let go.
"You bastard with no father or mother, you better remember this!" Guo Yan ran quite a distance before turning around and cursing, then continued running.
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and lightly kicked a small pebble on the ground. The pebble flew to Guo Yan's feet, causing him to trip and fall.
"Ouch!" Guo Yan bumped his head and got a big bump. He got up and continued running while cursing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Zhou Yuan, I never expected you to have such a sharp tongue, since you're usually so quiet!" Gu Nian appeared at the kitchen doorway and said in surprise.
Honestly, she never expected Lu Zheng to say such a thing about a girl. The book says that the male protagonist only has three women in his eyes: his mother, his sister, and the female protagonist.
He hardly ever speaks to other women.
"You flatter me! I'm just telling the truth!" Lu Zheng said calmly.
...
"Mom! I don't want to live anymore! He said I'm ugly, that my eyes are like sheep droppings or cow dung! He said I look like a big steamed bun, like a big winter melon! Mom! I don't want to live anymore!" Guo Wan continued to cry.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you two must..."
"Oh dear, Sister Qin, this is my Yuan's fault! I'll have him come over and apologize to Xiao Wan right now! Xin Xin, go and call your brother Yuan over here!" Grandma Xiao didn't wait for Qin to finish speaking.
"Oh." Gu Xin slowly made her way home, she was overjoyed, she had disliked her third aunt's sister for a long time.
"You know, this child is really something. How can he say such things in front of a young lady? Miss Guo, don't cry. He'll be here soon. I'll get revenge for you! Be good!" Grandma Xiao patted Guo Wan's shoulder and comforted her.
“Yes! The kids in our village are a bit naughty, Xiaowan, don’t take it to heart!” Grandma Gu added.
Qin Shi joined in the persuasion, Zhang Shi joined in the persuasion, and Cai Xiaolian also chimed in with a word of advice.
But Guo Wan cried even harder, feeling extremely wronged.
Aunt Gu couldn't stand it anymore and said quietly, "Little sister, I just heard that a big cat appeared in the mountains a few days ago. Your crying is so loud, it won't be good if you attract the big cat. You know, my family home is right at the foot of the mountain."
Guo Wan's crying stopped.
Lu Zheng came with the four Gu sisters. None of the sisters liked Guo Wan and wanted to see how Lu Zheng would apologize to her.
"You brat, come here right now! Apologize to Miss Guo! How can you talk to a young lady like that?" Grandma Xiao pulled him over to Guo Wan as soon as he came in.
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Hey, you're pouting quite a bit today!" Grandma Xiao patted him on the shoulder.
"Grandma, I didn't lie, I was just telling the truth!" Lu Zheng muttered softly.
"Oh dear! You're going to make me so angry! Look how upset you've made that girl! I'll beat you up!" Grandma Xiao raised her hand to hit her again.
Lu Zheng then hid by the door, saying as he ran, "Grandma, lying is bad, really!"
Grandma Xiao chased after him: "Lying is bad! But I didn't tell you to say everything! You should have kept your thoughts to yourself! How are you going to find a wife like this? I'll teach you a lesson today! Old Xiao, I'm going home to discipline this brat. I'll come help again tomorrow!"
The Gu family members: "..."
Guo Wan cried even harder.
