Chapter 105: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (Forty) Third update, please give me a monthly ticket
As a noble lady from an aristocratic family, Gu Qingcheng is well versed in the principle of "reciprocity".
Han Qiuyu rashly wrote her into the novel and caused her so much trouble, so of course Gu Qingcheng had to give her a big gift in return.
When "Deep Courtyard" just caused a stir in the provincial capital, Gu Qingcheng began to negotiate with Huoshui——
"Bad news, Han Qiuyu should have been born, right?"
When this woman left the Li family, she was pregnant.
Judging from the time, it should be almost time for the baby to be born.
"Executor, why do you ask? Maybe Han Qiuyu has already aborted the child."
Huoshui deliberately raised questions.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I really don’t want to answer the little idiot’s stupid questions.
However, since Huoshui's help was needed this time, Gu Qingcheng patiently explained it.
"It's mentioned in the story synopsis that Han Qiuyu will also be involved with the 'scumbag' Li Yaozu."
The entanglement between the two, apart from the marriage that Li Yaozu despised, is the child in Han Qiuyu's belly.
If Han Qiuyu really aborted the child, it would mean that she had completely severed her relationship with the Li family.
In the future, when Li Yaozu finds out that Han Qiuyu has become a famous writer and wants to "reconcile", according to the book-crossing girl's "decisiveness", she will definitely cut off her relationship with Li Yaozu without hesitation.
The story synopsis mentioned that Li Yaozu and Han Qiuyu seemed to have some emotional scenes.
Gu Qingcheng made a judgment based on those two lines of words, "Han Qiuyu probably didn't abort the child for some reason."
The closest relatives and the most distant relatives are husband and wife.
The reason why a couple can become an existence beyond blood ties is because they have children between them.
A child is the fusion of the blood of two people and the continuation of the bloodline.
After having a child, Han Qiuyu and Li Yaozu became inseparable.
As for why Han Qiuyu didn't abort the child, Gu Qingcheng also had some guesses:
First, maybe she really likes children and can’t bear to give up the fetus in her belly.
Second, abortion has risks. Although medical treatment in this era has improved compared to ancient times, it is still not foolproof.
Gu Qingcheng has studied Western medicine systematically and comprehensively, and she can say with certainty that giving birth and abortion are too dangerous, and even in the future, this problem cannot be completely solved.
Gu Qingcheng, with her extremely low moral character, guessed that Han Qiuyu did not have an abortion because of the second reason.
Huoshui: ...it didn't want to admit that Gu Qingcheng, a person of low character, guessed right.
But that's the way it is.
"Yes! Han Qiuyu really didn't abort the child!"
As a Mary Sue heroine, even though she was pregnant, she did not scare away the affectionate male supporting actors.
They would not refuse "buy one get one free" like men in real life, but would be more sympathetic to Han Qiuyu.
They even thought that Han Qiuyu was really kind and great, and that she would rather bear more worldly prejudices and hardships in life for the sake of the little life in her belly.
The second, third and fourth male characters, who seemed to have their brains eaten, not only did not dislike Han Qiuyu, but instead vied to become the "father".
They tried every possible way to take care of Han Qiuyu and the baby in her belly.
Godfather No. 1, Godfather No. 2, Godfather No. 3 and others actively took up their posts, counting the days waiting for the birth of the little baby.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This storyline is so detached from reality.
She was too lazy to complain.
"Li Yaozu must have heard of Wutong Yeyu's name when he was in the Magic City."
Gu Qingcheng put aside the plots that left her speechless and continued to ask questions.
"I heard about it, but he didn't associate Wutong Yeyu with his feudal dregs first wife."
Huoshui answered truthfully.
Maybe it's arrogance, or maybe it's unwillingness to admit it.
Even after the release of "Deep Courtyard", Han Qiuyu's life experience became a hot topic in the newspapers, but Li Yaozu did not expect it.
"Then let him 'know'! And by the way, tell him that he's going to be a father!"
Gu Qingcheng said lightly.
But Huoshui shuddered.
It had a hunch that its own executors were causing trouble.
"Men all have an inexplicable sense of self-esteem."
Gu Qingcheng continued, seeming to wonder why Li Yaozu "couldn't imagine" that Han Qiuyu was the original wife he abandoned.
What else could it be for? Of course it's because of my strong self-esteem.
Even though Li Yaozu now knew Wutong Yeyu's identity and wanted to covet Wutong Yeyu's fame and money, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
It was his abandoned wife, and he himself wrote the divorce papers and published them in the newspaper.
Now, he couldn't swallow his pride and beg Han Qiuyu for help!
Huoshui nodded, "Executor, what you said makes sense."
Li Yaozu himself is a person with a very high opinion of himself, and he considers himself to be a talented person who is superior to others.
How could he bow down to a woman with bound feet whom he despised?
Do you still have to beg others for help?
"Can't do it? Haha, that's because the pressure is not great enough! The social reality we are facing is not cruel enough!"
Gu Qingcheng sneered, "Since I am his stepmother, I should help him."
Here it comes again! That horrible feeling again!
The little coward, the troublemaker, couldn't help but tremble, "Executor, what do you want to do?"
"Listen to your tone. It's as if I'm going to do something bad that will anger God and people."
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huoshui with disdain, and then said, "I have good intentions."
"Li Jiye's family business should be almost ruined!"
Her sudden change of topic made Huoshui feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
After a few seconds, the CPU of the troublemaker finally reacted.
It complained a little, "How dare you say that! The Li family was badly hurt after that lawsuit!"
The family assets of several thousand dollars shrunk by nine-tenths in an instant.
There were only one or two hundred dollars and an old house left, with a total value of no more than five hundred dollars.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
All the shops and fertile fields of the Li family are gone.
Unable to collect rent and without an income source, Li Jiye sold or dismissed the maids and guards in his house.
In the huge house, there were only him, an old housekeeper, and two concubines left.
Ahem, the two concubines were also used by Li Jiye to pay off their gambling debts.
Yes, even with Gu Qingcheng, an outsider, flapping his butterfly wings, Li Jiye still couldn't escape his predetermined fate.
He was targeted by the local gambling house.
After a series of tricks, Li Jiye lost all his remaining property.
If the old housekeeper had not stopped him in time, Li Jiye would probably have sold even his two remaining concubine daughters.
"Oh, that's so miserable!"
Gu Qingcheng pretended to show an expression of surprise and pity.
The troublemaker with a numb face: ...You are indeed a villain, you are so thick-skinned!
"A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. Besides, Li Jiye is Yaozong's biological father. I can't just stand by and do nothing about it!"
"He probably doesn't know that his son is a university teacher in Shanghai, and his good daughter-in-law has become a talented writer who is famous throughout the country and has both fame and fortune."
"Well, I want him to know Li Yaozu's whereabouts and let him go to Li Yaozu."
Although Li Yaozu is a university teacher, his monthly salary is very high.
But he also likes to enjoy himself.
I eat Western food, treat the school ladies to coffee and dance, and I live paycheck to paycheck every month.
During the holidays, I would even overdraw next month’s salary to give gifts to the ladies.
Sometimes, Li Yaozu would think: How about I write a letter to my family? Although it would expose my address, I could get some money from them.
He is used to relying on his father for support. When he has no money in his pocket, he just wants to ask his family for money.
His life is so "difficult", if he had an old father, an old grandmother, and two half-sisters, haha, his life would definitely be very miserable!
Huoshui: ...bad guy! How can you be so bad? Gu Qingcheng: "Bad? How can this be called bad? I am doing good things, reuniting fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren, brothers and sisters, and having the whole family together, how wonderful it is."
The best met the best and they became a family of the best.
Without money and having to worry about the livelihood of his family, even the most "proud" man has to lower his noble head.
And Gu Qingcheng will give Li Yaozu a good news when he is hesitant: your original wife is Wutong Yeyu, and she gave birth to a big fat boy for you.
A woman, divorced, is still willing to give birth to a child.
Men don’t think that motherhood is great, but instead they wishfully think: “She must still have me in her heart, that’s why she doesn’t want to abort my child!”
The child is a bond and also a stepping stone for the self-respecting and confident Li Yaozu.
It won't be long before Li Yaozu will rush to the capital with his family to reunite with Han Qiuyu!
By then, the days of cold autumn rain will surely be very lively! Huoshui: ...More than lively, it will be a scene of chaos and confusion.
As expected, Han Qiuyu shouldn’t have written that novel.
You say, you are a plagiarist, just copy Jin Juxia's works.
Why write a novel with a prototype?
If you mess with someone like Gu Qingcheng who has only a little bit of character, she doesn't even have to do it herself, she can kill you with a borrowed knife and make you miserable.
Although in the original plot, the Li family's group of top people would still come looking for Han Qiuyu.
However, if it weren’t for Gu Qingcheng’s “help”, this matter would have taken another one or two years.
At that time, Han Qiuyu had already established an absolute position in the literary world. She also did many good deeds and became Mr. Qiuyu, who was praised by everyone.
The group of top-notch people in the Li family couldn't gain any benefit when they met her. Instead, they ended up in disgrace and were hated by everyone.
And now, Han Qiuyu has gained some fame thanks to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Deep Courtyard", but has not yet reached the level of a big shot.
If the Li family takes the opportunity to stick to him, Han Qiuyu may have to give in and suffer some grievances under the influence of public opinion and morality.
If it is not handled properly, it may even backfire! Gu Qingcheng, so cruel! Huoshui sighed secretly.
Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows: Is that so cruel?
Haha, this is just the beginning.
She has a bigger trump card! Besides, it's not that she's too cruel to keep biting Han Qiuyu.
All of this was caused by Han Qiuyu, and Gu Qingcheng was just "reciprocating"!
I hope my former cheap daughter-in-law likes these gifts she gave me...
