Wu Laosi suddenly raised his voice, startling Huang Zhixiong who was standing next to him.
He instinctively ran forward and stood in front of Gu Chenxi, afraid that Wu Laosi would hurt her.
Seeing Wu Laosi's reaction, Huang Zhixiong suddenly realized that he might have actually done Gu Chenxi a disservice.
"Uncle, speak properly!" Huang Zhixiong was clearly lacking in confidence.
It wasn't that they were afraid of Wu Laosi, but rather that they felt guilty.
Looking at Wu Laosi's fierce expression, Huang Zhixiong felt that he might have really made a mistake.
Wu Laosi stopped pretending and chose to give up entirely.
“Speak properly? How am I supposed to speak properly with my own daughter? Let me tell you, Wu Qiuyue, if you don’t give me the money today, I’m not leaving!” Wu Laosi said with a roguish look.
Wu Laosi was already hungry and sleepy, and then he was scolded by the waiter at the teahouse, so he was already harboring a lot of anger.
They performed at Baiweixuan for half a day, but who knew this stubborn girl wouldn't listen to reason?
Since she wouldn't listen to reason and was forced to drink the penalty cup, Wu Laosi felt there was no need for him to be nice to Gu Chenxi anymore.
In the past, whenever he got angry, Gu Chenxi would be extremely obedient.
Seeing Gu Chenxi trembling behind Huang Zhixiong, Wu Laosi assumed that Gu Chenxi was afraid of him.
Just when Wu Laosi thought Gu Chenxi would give him some money to get rid of him, Gu Chenxi turned around and went into the kitchen.
Wu Laosi thought Gu Chenxi had gone to get the money, but he didn't expect that when Gu Chenxi came out again, she was holding a kitchen knife.
At this moment, Gu Chenxi's eyes were bloodshot with hatred. Holding a kitchen knife, she roared, "Old man, all you do all day is spew filth from your mouth! If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll chop you up today and then die with you!"
Gu Chenxi had already tolerated Wu Laosi's insults, but she couldn't let Gu Lili's family's reputation be damaged.
What do you mean she's the county magistrate's sister-in-law? That's utter nonsense.
Someone like her is hardly worthy of anyone!
Wu Laosi was so frightened by Gu Chenxi's imposing aura that he retreated repeatedly, fearing that Gu Chenxi would cut him with the kitchen knife at any moment.
He couldn't understand how Gu Chenxi, who used to be so timid and submissive, had become like this.
They even dared to try and kill themselves with a knife.
Although Wu Laosi stepped back, he was still as aggressive as ever, saying, "You are your own father, how dare you cut me?"
As he spoke, Wu Laosi swallowed hard, his confidence clearly waning.
At this moment, Zhang Dahua also rushed out from the kitchen.
She was startled when she saw Gu Chenxi storm in to grab a kitchen knife.
When they came out, they saw Gu Chenxi holding a kitchen knife and cornering Wu Laosi.
When Zhang Dahua saw Wu Laosi, she obviously recognized him.
Zhang Dahua was also present when Gu Lili bought Gu Chenxi that day.
Gu Chenxi gritted her teeth, determined to go all out.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi was about to make a big mistake, Zhang Dahua quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Chenxi, stop right now!" Zhang Dahua shouted.
If this beast, worse than a pig or a dog, were to be killed, Gu Chenxi's life would be over.
Zhang Dahua's shout brought Gu Chenxi back to her senses, and the cleaver stopped just short of Wu Laosi's head.
Gu Chenxi was so angry because Wu Laosi's words had completely enraged her.
She couldn't understand why her own father had sold her into a brothel, ruining her reputation.
She even had the delusion that she would marry the county princess's younger brother.
That's just wishful thinking.
Perhaps what Gu Chenxi was truly angry about was that she liked Li Tiansheng, but because of her reputation, she felt that she was no longer worthy of him.
That's why they lost their minds.
At this moment, Wu Laosi was already so frightened that his face turned pale and large beads of sweat were dripping down his face.
He really didn't expect Gu Chenxi to be serious with him. If it weren't for Zhang Dahua's shout that stopped Gu Chenxi.
Maybe Wu Laosi has already met his maker.
Zhang Dahua quickly walked up to Gu Chenxi and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.
Just when Wu Laosi felt safe, he saw Zhang Dahua holding a kitchen knife and pointing it at him.
"Wu Laosi! You're shameless! Chenxi has already been sold to Sister Lili by you, and she has nothing to do with you anymore. How dare you still come looking for Chenxi? If you don't get out of here, I'll call the authorities to arrest you!" Zhang Dahua cursed angrily.
Huang Zhixiong stared at Wu Laosi and Gu Chenxi in disbelief, only then realizing how terribly wrong he had been.
Unexpectedly, this man was capable of selling his own daughter.
Immediately, he grabbed a broom from the side and struck Wu Laosi hard.
Wu Laosi clutched his head in pain. Seeing that his plan had failed, and then looking at the cold kitchen knife in Zhang Dahua's hand, he was so frightened that he scrambled out of the room.
"If you dare come again, we'll kill you!" Zhang Dahua threatened, watching Wu Laosi run away in a sorry state.
After Wu Laosi left, Gu Chenxi's face was full of apology.
"Dahua, I'm sorry, I..."
Zhang Dahua quickly interrupted Gu Chenxi, waving her hand dismissively.
"It's alright, Chenxi. Next time he comes, just call me and I'll help you chase him away."
Zhang Dahua looked at Chenxi with heartache in her eyes. Although the Zhang family had not lived a very good life in the past, her parents had always treated her very well.
She simply couldn't imagine how much pain Gu Chenxi must be in.
Gu Chenxi nodded heavily, intending to continue working.
Huang Zhixiong, who was standing to the side, also spoke up apologetically, "Chenxi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have meddled."
Gu Chenxi just glanced at Huang Zhixiong expressionlessly, didn't speak to him, and turned to go to the kitchen to help.
Gu Chenxi was still angry and really didn't want to talk to Huang Zhixiong.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Huang Zhixiong dared not say anything more and went back to work.
Wu Laosi, having gained no advantage, glared resentfully at Baiweixuan before turning and disappearing into an alley.
Fortunately, no customers were present at today's incident, and it did not affect Baiweixuan's business.
Otherwise, Gu Chenxi would only feel more guilty.
However, it was clear that Gu Chenxi's mood was affected by this little incident.
I almost cut my finger several times while chopping vegetables.
If it weren't for Wu Laosi's sudden appearance, Gu Chenxi would have gradually forgotten about that incident.
Sometimes she even dared to think that perhaps she could marry Li Tiansheng.
However, Wu Laosi's appearance reminded her of something else.
She was just someone who was almost sold into a brothel by her own father; how could she be qualified to think about such things?
Forget it, I shouldn't expect too much.
Gu Chenxi splashed cold water on her face to calm herself down completely.
My most important task today is to teach Zhang Dahua how to stir-fry mushrooms.
