After learning how to use it, Uncle Gu asked Grandma Xiao to watch the two children for him and then hurriedly went home to take a bath.
Good heavens, it's going to take an hour to scratch him, let's just kill him!
...
After Uncle Gu left, Grandma Xiao applied medicine to the two children, with Lu Zheng helping her.
He saw Gu Xin's face, which was covered in blood, and couldn't help but think of his past life.
In her previous life, in the twelfth lunar month before Gu Xin passed away, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian invited Gu Xin to help decorate Cai Xiaolian's house.
At that time, Gu Nian was Xue Er's concubine. She was very capable and had secured her position in the inner quarters. She had money in her hands, so she bought a house for Cai Xiaolian and no longer needed to rent it.
Gu Xin went happily, only to be tricked into going to his stepmother Lin's villa.
Since Lin herself couldn't lure Gu Xin over, she asked Gu's mother and daughter to bring Gu Xin over in order to get him there. However, Lin's son was attracted to Gu Xin and tried to take advantage of her.
Gu Xin took a hairpin and slashed her face. In the ensuing commotion, she lost her child, which finally forced her stepmother's son to leave.
That was also the only time he ever scolded Gu Xin, calling her stupid, hopelessly stupid.
He had already been taken advantage of by that mother and daughter once, so why would he fall for it again? But he cursed himself and felt heartbroken.
That time, he had a falling out with his childhood friend Xue Er because of Gu Nian and because of what Xue Er said.
Xue Er said that although they were sisters, their paths were different. Xue Er said, "Lu Zheng, don't forget, although she only followed you in her life, she was trained by a brothel for six years. Don't you know how brothels train people? She's nothing but a plaything of a filthy place. Even if Gu Nian was just a concubine, she was still a good concubine. She hadn't seen so many filthy things, and she was far superior to Gu Xin. Are you going to question me now because of such a dirty thing?"
Lu Zheng remembered that he punched Xue Er, knocking out his teeth, and then stabbed Xue Er with a sword. After that, he never spoke a word to Xue Er again.
Later, he crippled his stepmother's son's leg, poisoned him until he was mute, and sent him to a place frequented by men who didn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.
However, after doing all this, Gu Xin's face was left with scars, and their child could never come back.
After that, Gu Xin was completely devastated. She was betrayed and used by her family and lost her child.
It took him half a year to slowly restore her spirits, but who knew that his foolish woman, who so desperately craved family affection, would...
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan? What are you thinking about?" Grandma Xiao called out, interrupting Lu Zheng's recollection.
"It's nothing, I was just wondering if their injuries will leave scars," Lu Zheng said, coming back to his senses.
"Tch, don't you believe in my skills? Xin'er just got scratched by a thorn tree, it'll be fine in a few days. As for Si'er's forehead, my ointment will heal it in a month at most. Don't get lost in thought, I've finished applying the medicine, let's pack up and send the child back. We don't have any clean clothes for the little girl. Your Uncle Gu will probably just leave the child with us and that'll be the end of it. Once he's finished soaking the ear-ear grass, the Gu family will be looking for her." Grandma Xiao laughed.
"Then I'll go harness the carriage," Lu Zheng said, heading towards the carriage.
"No need, we can each carry one, it won't take more than a few steps. Right now, everyone in the village is probably at the village head's house discussing going up the mountain to hunt the tiger," Grandma Xiao waved her hand and said.
