Chapter 11 Chapter 11 She's Going to Marry My Grandson Anyway
Following Hua Chao's order, the guards pulled out a stick more than one meter long from behind their backs, and five of them even drew out long swords.
In an instant, the originally messy yard was surrounded by these twenty or so guards, and the Gu family was protected in the middle.
Not to mention that Hua Pozi is just an old lady, even if a dozen more big men came to the village, they might not be able to take advantage of her.
Gu Jiayue opened her eyes wide and looked at Hua Chao in disbelief.
This... this... the little crybaby who usually just cries is actually so majestic?
Hua Chao took two steps forward and came to Grandma Gu's side. She bowed and said, "My little maidservant would like to apologize to the old lady first. I am just a servant and should not interfere in the interactions between the Gu family and the neighbors. But before I left, the Marquis' wife had instructed me that if the young lady's reputation and life were endangered, I would protect her at the risk of my life."
Grandma Gu, who was originally very angry, was at a loss for a moment.
Hey, what's wrong with this girl? Why is she suddenly being polite?
What should I do now? No one can teach me!
Fortunately, before Grandma Gu could finish her worrying, Hua Chao stood up first, walked to Hua Pozi, raised his hand and slapped her in the face. Hua Pozi saw stars and could hardly remember how old she was.
"You old lady are truly ridiculous. You keep saying that my young lady is your granddaughter-in-law. But is there any parental consent or matchmaker's agreement? Is there a marriage certificate? Is there a betrothal gift? With just your mouth and a few sly words, you want to slander my young lady's innocence. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? Whether it's Miss Wangshu or Miss Jiayue, they are both the most distinguished legitimate daughters of our Marquis' Mansion, and are recorded in the Marquis's family tree. Such precious people cannot be arbitrarily fabricated by just any random person. If you dare to spread these rumors in front of the Gu family and the young lady again, I don't mind taking you to the government office to have a lecture."
Hua Chao stood there righteously, and every word he spoke was powerful.
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Especially the children from the Gu family, their eyes were wide open.
Is this... is this still the little sister who smiled sweetly, spoke softly, and patiently told them to eat slowly when distributing candies and snacks to them?
This change is too big, and the children said it is difficult to accept.
"Fourth sister, I think Sister Hua Chao is even more fierce than grandma." Gu Yuhe whispered in Gu Zhigeng's ear.
Gu Zhigeng nodded seriously and said, "Let's not mess with Second Sister anymore. The people around her are too fierce. Look at those brothers holding swords. The expressions on their faces look like they want to eat people."
Gu Yuchuan quickly ate the cake in his hand and asked anxiously, "Eat people? Who wants to eat people? Is it delicious?"
Mrs. Hua covered her face, unable to believe that she was beaten.
No one has dared to touch her since the old man passed away, but today she was beaten by a little girl!
"You're such an unruly little slut, you're full of shit. My grandson has seen all of Gu Wangshu's body, who else can she marry if not my grandson?
In order to save her, my healthy grandson injured his leg and will be a lame man in the future. Shouldn't Gu Wangshu marry me and take care of him?
Don't think hiding in Kyoto will save you. Gu Wangshu is gone, so let this Jiayue take his place! So what if it's the Marquis' Mansion? Saving someone's life means repaying them with your own life. This has been a rule since ancient times!
Go to the government office? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Go out and ask around. No one in the entire Annan County dares to embarrass me, Hua Pozi.
Oh my God, please open your eyes and look at this. My grandson was kind enough to save someone, but in the end, these ruthless people wanted to arrest her grandmother and bring her to justice."
Hua Pozi's face turned red. She pointed at Hua Chao's nose, jumped up and down, gesticulating and cursing. Her voice was sharp and piercing, just like a mad female monkey.
As Hua Pozi cried, the villagers gradually gathered around.
"You! You! You shameless woman. Brother Huzi, throw him out!"
How could the Hua Dynasty, which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, have ever seen such a scene?
When she was in the Marquis' Mansion, she was the head maidservant beside the young lady. She was taught by a professional nanny since she was a child and was taught the duties and abilities of a head maidservant.
But the young lady was quiet and easygoing, never causing trouble or getting into arguments. Even the daughter of the most domineering Duke of Zhenguo in Kyoto said that Gu Jiayue was a good-tempered person and that bullying her was pointless.
Besides, the entire Marquis' Mansion is managed by the Madam. As the legitimate daughter of the mansion, naturally no one dares to make things difficult for her.
As a result, Hua Chao had never seen much of the world, and the knowledge taught by Nanny had always remained at the theoretical stage, never put into practice. As a result, Hua Chao couldn't think of a good way to fight back for a long time, and could only order Hu Zi to use force with trembling hands.
At this moment, she missed Aunt Cai in the county town very much.
If the nanny was here, the old woman would have no chance to speak at all.
Although Hu Zi and Hua Chao were both servants, Hua Chao represented the Marquis' Mansion and Gu Jiayue at the moment. So, what she said naturally reflected Gu Jiayue's opinion.
Hu Zi didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and two guards came forward to carry Hua Pozi out.
Grandma Hua was a little frightened. Although she was used to being a bully in Taohua Village, this was her first time encountering such a scene. "What do you want to do? I tell you, if you dare to touch me today, I will crash into your Gu family's gate and kill myself. Your Gu family will never have peace."
"stop!"
Seeing the farce escalating, Gu Jiayue had to stand up.
Just now, when Hua Chao was supporting in the front, she was not idle in the back. Instead, she pulled Li Juhua's arm and asked her about the whole cause and effect of the matter.
The story is actually quite simple. Six months ago, Gu Wangshu went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and accidentally fell off a cliff. Hua Qingzhu, the grandson of Hua Pozi, happened to be passing by and came to his rescue. However, while rescuing Gu Wangshu, he was pierced in the calf by a sharp branch and hit by a falling rock, severely injuring his left leg. Even if he recovered, he would be left with a disability.
As they fell off the cliff, Gu Wangshu's clothes were torn by the branches on the cliff, revealing part of his neck and arms. Both of them were injured and unable to walk back home on their own. They could only spend the night at the foot of the cliff, where they were discovered the next day by hunters from the neighboring village.
Afterwards, the Gu family sent Hua Qingzhu to the county clinic for treatment. However, due to excessive bleeding and prolonged injury, the doctors tried every possible method but were unable to prevent him from becoming disabled.
I heard that he will have to be a cripple in the future and may suffer from unbearable pain every time it rains.
After the incident, the Gu family also tried their best to make compensation.
The Gu family paid for all of Hua Qingzhu's medical expenses, and even borrowed a lot of money for this purpose. However, Mrs. Hua still couldn't accept the fact that her only grandson had become a cripple.
But things have come to this point and cannot be changed. No matter how much she forces Hu to do something, she cannot make her grandson return to normal. So, she makes a request that Gu Wangshu marry Hua Qingzhu.
Gu Wangshu naturally didn't want to do that. She didn't like Hua Qingzhu, or even any man in the village.
Hua Pozi came to cause trouble every few days. Not only did she come by herself, she also asked people in the village who were on good terms with her to come and persuade her.
Seeing that Gu Wangshu refused to give in, she went to the village chief, clan leader and others, insisting that Gu Wangshu must marry Hua Qingzhu, otherwise he would be shameless and heartless.
Later, this incident even spread to several surrounding villages, and the two married aunts of the Gu family were also implicated.
Even the family to which the Gu family's eldest granddaughter had been engaged came to the village to inquire whether the Gu family was truly ungrateful and unwilling to repay the favor after being rescued.
In the past six months, the Gu family has not had a single day of peace.
Gu Wangshu couldn't bear to see the Gu family in trouble, so he could only say that he was willing to marry.
Just as the two families began to discuss the engagement, someone from the Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto arrived.
If it weren't for the incident of the real and fake daughter, Gu Wangshu might have already married Hua Qingzhu.
After hearing this, Gu Jiayue felt a little helpless. She thought it was a big deal. Wasn't it just an accident? Hua Qingzhu was right to sacrifice himself to save others, but it was unpredictable that he would be injured while saving others.
Afterwards, the Gu family did not ignore the matter, but their ability was limited and they could not provide better treatment for Hua Qingzhu.
If the Gu family had money, would they let their own son end up having his limbs amputated? So in the final analysis, it was all caused by lack of money.
"Tiger!"
"Miss." Hu Zi bowed respectfully.
"Go and invite all the doctors in the county who are good at diagnosing and treating external injuries!" Gu Jiayue said calmly, but her eyes were fixed on Hua Pozi.
Hua Pozi felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She couldn't help but shiver and asked, "You, what are you going to do?"
