On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Gu Shouxin and his family went to the county town.
The county examination was on the sixth day of the lunar month, and there were still some procedures in the government office on the fifth day.
Gu Shouxin originally didn't want to bring his wife and daughters. The county town wasn't big, and they could easily run into the Cheng family. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he didn't want his wife and daughters to be disgusted. However, the three of them insisted on coming with him.
Sure enough, as soon as he drove his donkey into town, he encountered someone he didn't want to see.
"Sister Nian Nian!" Cheng Huaijin rode over at full speed on horseback; he always saw Gu Nian first.
After dismounting, he greeted the others: "Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, Sister Xin Xin. I guessed you would be coming today, so I've been waiting here for a long time."
Gu Shouxin glanced at Cheng Huaijin indifferently, without saying a word.
Cai Xiaolian looked at the child with a complicated expression.
To be honest, she liked the Cheng family's twins, but felt a little sorry for them because they were young and naive.
Why would someone have such a father and brothers with impure motives?
I originally thought the Cheng family was just high and mighty, but I never expected that Cheng Rui would actually have his fiancée drug Gu Nian and then force her into marriage.
So, she felt sorry for these two innocent and good children.
"Young Master Cheng, although your family is the county magistrate's family, this county town is not yours to run! What, are you here to block our way and prevent us from entering the town?" Gu Nian looked at Cheng Huaijin and sneered.
I felt a pang of regret. How could such an adorable little boy belong to the Cheng family?
Cheng Huaijin was somewhat at a loss, looking pitifully at the Gu family: "Sister Niannian, Second Uncle, Aunt Lian, I didn't know my parents and eldest brother would treat Sister Niannian like that. I apologize to you on their behalf, please don't ignore me, okay?"
Gu Xin got off the donkey cart and stood face to face with Cheng Huaijin, saying, "Young Master Cheng, you are already thirteen years old, an adult. Don't do things like a child, okay? Your parents and brothers look down on our family, so why are you rushing here? You apologize on their behalf, but what right do you have? An apology is useless; we don't accept it."
You stopped my parents from putting on this aggrieved act. Aren't you just taking advantage of your young age to make things difficult for them? If we kick you out, and your parents and brothers find out, they'll say my parents bullied you. If we don't kick you out, do we want them to remember those disgusting people in your family who bullied my sister?
You call me "Sister Nian Nian"? Do you deserve it? Do you think she'll forgive your parents and brothers just because you called her "Sister"? Are you taking advantage of the fact that you didn't do anything in there, so my sister won't have the heart to confront you?
I'm telling you, that's impossible. My sister is such a good, kind girl, why should she be bullied by you? I'm telling you, I despise your whole family!
Since you are a child of the Cheng family, don't ever appear before the Gu family again. The Gu family does not welcome Cheng Rui. What Cheng Rui did is unforgivable! Therefore, Second Young Master Cheng, please don't speak to us.
My parents and sister are older than you, so hitting them would be bullying you! I'm younger than you, so if you bother us again, I won't be polite!
After Gu Xin finished speaking, she returned to the donkey cart.
Cheng Huaijin was stunned by this conversation. Why was his usually gentle, cute little sister Xinxin so fierce?
At this moment, Cheng Huaiyu walked over from the side with her maid. Her big eyes were filled with tears as she stood by the donkey cart, looking at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin frowned slightly, looked at her sister, then at Cheng Huaiyu, and finally got out of the car, pulling Cheng Huaiyu aside.
Cheng Huaiyu looked at Gu Xin, trying to smile, but Gu Xin's words made her unable to smile.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I can't be your friend anymore! Because your parents and brothers bullied our family. We can't be friends. Don't worry about me anymore. I'll give you another piece of candy." Gu Xin said, taking a peanut candy from her purse and adding a jade bead as she fed it to Cheng Huaiyu.
She silently said in her heart: I'm sorry, Xiaoyu! I hope everything will be alright for you from now on!
