Chapter 104: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (Thirty-nine)
This time, Li Yaozong was no longer ignorant.
He faced his mother's beautiful eyes and uttered two words faintly: "Take advantage of the situation!"
He and his mother were both women and children. His mother was injured and her parents were not available for him to rely on.
They, mother and son, are absolutely disadvantaged.
If the mother went directly to the father, not to mention dividing the property, she would probably be beaten again.
If things go wrong, my father might even sell my mother off.
The only way to achieve the goal is to take the matter to court and use the greedy County Magistrate Zhou and Commander Ma.
"Well said, my son, you are indeed smart!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded with satisfaction. She exposed these dark facts and cruel human hearts to Li Yaozong in advance, hoping that he would not be as "naive" as the stupid son of a landlord.
Li Yaozong received praise from his mother and smiled embarrassedly.
Gu Qingcheng changed the subject and said "but", "But, Yaozong, my approach is still very risky."
"Although I learned a lot of things in advance, I also guessed the thoughts of Magistrate Zhou, Commander Ma and others."
"But the human heart is the most uncontrollable thing. Not to mention others, even I cannot guarantee that I can recognize my own heart."
"When I went to the county government, only 6 out of 10 were successful. The other 4 out of 10 were just luck."
Gu Qingcheng continued to talk.
She opened the door to another world for Li Yaozong.
The troublemaker with a numb face: ...It’s confirmed. Gu Qingcheng really wants to guide Li Yaozong to become a minor villain.
Oh no, to use the words from online novels, this should be called a white-cut black with a dark belly.
"From the moment I framed the Han family, Mother first acted foolishly, then took a risk... Fortunately, the ending was good!"
"But, Yaozong, you must remember to think carefully before doing anything. We are lucky this time and have achieved our wish."
"But what about the next time? No one can guarantee it. It's easy to get into trouble if you just rely on luck."
Gu Qingcheng started teaching Li Yaozong again——
You can do bad things, but don't be stupid and you must plan carefully.
Take risks, but don't always rely on luck.
Anyway, no matter what you do, you must think carefully and plan properly.
"Of course, the most important thing is to improve your own abilities. Conspiracies and tricks are just a side job after all."
Gu Qingcheng touched Li Yaozong's head and said in a friendly way, "Only the strength of one's own power can provide the foundation for one's survival in the world."
"...Mom, I understand!"
Li Yaozong nodded vigorously. He knew that his mother was teaching him.
He would study hard, understand well, and grow up to be a strong man that would make his mother proud! As for the disturbances in the newspapers, Li Yaozong didn't care.
At school, he devoted all his energy to studying.
He didn't care about the gossip from his classmates, the pointing and even the sarcasm from people around him.
It was his desk mate Zhao Jingting's "anger" that made Li Yaozong somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhao Jingting: ...I don't want to be angry with Yaozong, but his mother is too vicious. She actually tried to hurt Mr. Wutong Yeyu.
Fortunately, Mr. Wutong Yeyu was smart enough and was not framed.
Otherwise, in a closed and ignorant place, the fate of a woman who cheated on her husband would be too miserable. If she was not careful, she would even be drowned in a pond.
Oh my God, if Mr. Wutong Yeyu died, there would be no such excellent work as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Whenever Zhao Jingting thought about this, he felt that Gu was so hateful.
Li Yaozong is Gu's son, and he resembles his mother. Gu is vicious, and Li Yaozong's character is not much better.
These words were not said by Zhao Jingting, many students in the class were discussing this.
Even Zhao Jingting's family members hope that Zhao Jingting can stay away from Li Yaozong.
If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. Gu always hurts people, so how can the son she raised be any good?
But Zhao Jingting couldn't bear to do so, as he and Li Yaozong really got along well.
Although Li Yaozong is no longer a fat boy, he and Li Yaozong no longer seem to be of the same kind.
But the two of them already have a friendship and are good friends.
But now——
Alas, Gu, why are you so vicious? And Yaozong, why is your biological mother Gu? How glorious "Ms. Gu" was in the past, and how everyone hates Gu now.
Whenever Gu Qingcheng went to the university to attend classes, she would be surrounded by tabloid reporters waiting at the school gate.
"Ms. Gu! Ms. Gu! What do you think of the Gu family described in "The Deep Courtyard"? "
"Ms. Gu, are you really Mr. Wutong Yeyu's stepmother-in-law?"
"Gu! You are so vicious. You are a woman yourself, but you use the most important thing for a woman to frame another innocent woman!"
"...Gu, how dare you go out there? Humph, I'm going to find Mr. Bayer. I can't let you embarrass yourself in front of foreigners!"
Reporters were asking questions frantically, as were some students or nearby residents who came to join in the fun.
They all directed their accusing eyes at Gu Qingcheng, as if she were some evil person who had committed a heinous crime.
Gu Qingcheng was not frightened by the scene. She was very calm and composed.
Faced with the urgent questioning, she also answered truthfully -
"Maybe, but I did have a step-daughter-in-law named Han Qiuyu."
"Framed? Yes! I did it!"
She admitted it so blindly.
Instead, it left the interviewing reporters and the onlookers dumbfounded.
What kind of person is this? He did something wrong but he doesn't feel guilty at all.
And, and he's so damn righteous.
No, we can't let her be so arrogant! They want to--
Suddenly they realized that there seemed to be nothing they could do.
They can only accuse, blame, and even abuse, but Gu Qingcheng doesn't care about these.
Huoshui couldn't help but laugh: ...What do you call this? As long as I have no morals, you can't judge me morally.
"No, I'm going to file a complaint at the university! I, I'm also going to expose her true identity to the public!"
"We also need to be honest with our foreign friends like Bayer."
The reporters who have always been the "uncrowned kings" suffered a Waterloo at the hands of Gu Qingcheng, and they couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed.
What's more, the young lady of the governor's mansion secretly sent people to stir up trouble, and Gu Qingcheng's "scandal" immediately became a sensation in the provincial capital.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Even Gu Qingcheng's neighbors heard the news.
"Humph, I've seen it a long time ago. Gu's is not a good thing!"
The mean landlord of the west yard made arbitrary comments with an "I knew it" look.
"And you, Wang Dali's family, I advise you to go to the neighbor's house less often in the future, or you will be dragged down by them!"
The landlord was not satisfied with his own complaints and tried to pull Mrs. Wang into his camp.
Mrs. Wang was a little hesitant.
To be honest, she had worked as a maid in the Gu family for two or three months and had a very good impression of Gu Qingcheng and her son.
Ms. Gu is a good person, and Master Li is a well-behaved and sensible child.
But, she had heard about the reports in the newspapers.
Frame the pregnant stepson's wife for cheating?
Mrs. Wang couldn't believe that such a vicious thing could be done by Ms. Gu.
But the newspaper later reported that Ms. Gu personally admitted that she had done it.
That night, when Ms. Gu came back, Mrs. Wang asked hesitantly, "Ms. Gu, is what was said in the newspaper--" true?
Gu Qingcheng nodded very calmly.
Mrs. Wang was devastated.
She thought that what was said in the newspaper was all nonsense, and that someone was jealous of Ms. Gu and deliberately framed her.
Unexpectedly, they were all true.
Mrs. Wang felt somewhat suspicious and she also had a vague aversion to Gu Qingcheng.
She is a country woman who grew up in the countryside.
When she was a child, she witnessed a young widow being drowned in a pond.
The widow's relatives spread the word that the widow was unfaithful to her husband, had an affair with another man, and plotted to murder her husband.
But that is not the case.
It was obvious that those tribesmen had their eyes on the widow's property and wanted to marry her off, and then annex and divide up the fertile land.
The widow disagreed. She had a son and she wanted to live with him.
She also threatened that if her clansmen pushed her too far, she would go to the county government office and beat drums to appeal for justice.
Then, she was caught cheating!
Being framed, being tortured...there are too many tragic stories like this in the countryside.
Mrs. Wang was terrified by what she saw.
She and her husband work so hard and make money just in the hope of settling down in the city.
She hoped that her children could have a better life instead of being oppressed by rules and etiquette in the countryside.
Ms. Gu, whom she and her husband believed was a good person, was actually the executioner who killed innocent women! Both Mrs. Wang and Wang Dali found it hard to accept.
"Da Li, why don't we quit our jobs at the Gu family?"
It is difficult for Mrs. Wang to face Gu Qingcheng calmly now. Whenever she sees her, she will think of the poor widow who was framed.
“…Alright!”
Wang Dali was a little reluctant, after all, Ms. Gu was really generous.
When his wife cooks for Ms. Gu, she always brings back some “leftovers”.
Just by doing this, their family can save a lot of food expenses every month.
There is also money from hiring rickshaws, which is also a fixed income for the Wang family.
However, Ms. Gu’s reputation is so bad now that almost everyone wants to punish her.
Wang Dali was afraid. He was worried that some crazy readers would come and beat and scold Ms. Gu, and that the person pulling her cart might be accidentally injured.
"Sorry, Ms. Gu, we——"
Wang Dali and Wang Dasao stood in front of Gu Qingcheng embarrassedly.
Although they knew that Gu Qingcheng had done bad things in the past, they got along very well with Gu's mother and son.
Both husband and wife were honest and decent people. Although they felt that it was reasonable, they still felt guilty instinctively when facing Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng didn't care, "Okay! I understand!"
The moment she admitted it in public, Gu Qingcheng knew that she would be criticized and ostracized by the people around her.
These are all your own choices, and you should bear the consequences.
However, Gu Qingcheng has already suffered the backlash of the "evil consequences", and what about Han Qiuyu? Her life now should also be very "wonderful"!
