Chapter 272 Aunt's Jealousy
"That one, the one who lives next door to you. The one who wanders around the village every day, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything in between."
"Oh...him. Yeah, he doesn't have a wife." Liu was at a loss for words. Was there something wrong with Gu's eyes? Her nephew wasn't a drunkard, a whoremonger, or a gambler, but he was incredibly ugly. I heard he had a violent streak, beating up either his mom or his dad every day. How could someone like that be described as handsome?
Which good family would marry their daughter to such a vicious person?
Liu was stunned for a moment, then reacted. "You wouldn't..."
Gu Dongxue smiled knowingly. "Yes, my second niece from my mother's side is well-educated, pretty, and can make money. I think she's the perfect match for your nephew."
Hearing this, even Liu looked at Gu Dongxue in disbelief.
Isn't this too cruel? She's her own aunt, pushing her own niece into this pit of fire?
But Liu was shamefully tempted.
All she could think of was Gu Jiayue's face when she threatened her. If she hadn't been so nosy and said she was going to report it to the police, she would have received compensation from the Gu family by now. She wouldn't have to run away empty-handed.
"Mom, it's getting late. We still have to go to the county town to see a doctor for you." Qian Yulin listened to the whole process.
Although he felt resentful towards everyone in the Gu family, he subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing to do.
But he was afraid of his mother and was at a loss for a moment, so he could only distract his mother with other things.
Liu looked down at her hands and said, "Oh, I've been so engrossed in conversation that I've forgotten the real business. Sister, I'm leaving now. We can talk later."
She had never thought that there was someone in the Gu family who was so suitable for her. If she hadn't been afraid that she would lose her hand, she would have wanted to chat with Gu for three days and three nights.
Gu Dongxue knew at a glance that this thing wouldn't be accomplished today. But she wasn't in a hurry; she had plenty of time. "Okay, sister, it's important to treat your hand. Alas, they still don't consider you family. Otherwise, there's a miracle doctor living in the courtyard of the school. If that miracle doctor could treat this minor injury, wouldn't it be easy to cure it?"
"Go ahead, elder sister. If you think my suggestion today is okay, remember to come find me."
After saying that, Gu Dongxue turned around and left. After all, she was afraid that the Gu family would find out what she had done.
Why did Gu Dongxue do this? It was because she had a grudge against the Gu family, especially Gu Jiayue.
Originally, her family was very poor, and the whole family couldn't even afford a good set of clothes. If it stayed like this, with everyone equally poor, she naturally wouldn't have any resentment towards her parents and brothers.
But Gu Jiayue, the golden goose that lays eggs, has returned. It hasn't been long since she came back, and she's already made her family rich.
Even after getting rich, he still didn't take her with him. This is really infuriating.
If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. The gifts given during festivals are so shabby. Just a few eggs and a few pieces of cloth. Are you giving gifts to beggars?
She had inquired and found out that the girls that Gu Jiayue had sent to her brother's family were all groomed.
So she felt extremely unbalanced inside, and she felt that she should have a share of these things.
Especially since she had a quarrel with her family during the last move, she held a grudge against Gu Jiayue.
She has been trying to find a way to discipline Gu Jiayue, but she is just an ordinary peasant woman. The methods she can think of are either difficult to implement or she has no money to implement them.
Until today, when she saw Liu, she knew at first sight that they were the same kind of people.
She was originally thinking about how to get Liu to help him, but she didn't expect that they would start a quarrel with her first.
Even though Liu didn't reply to her now, she knew that Liu would definitely be moved.
She walked back humming a folk song. When she was halfway there, she met her elder brother who was out looking for her.
"Where have you been? Everyone is waiting for you to eat."
"Oh, I saw that Mrs. Liu looked unhappy when she left, so I was afraid that she might do something bad, so I came out to take a look." Gu Dongxue looked a little panicked.
But Gu Huangwu didn't notice it, and even felt very relieved.
He and Gu Dongxue are not much different in age, and they had a good relationship when they were young.
As she grew older, her personality became more and more left-leaning. She always felt that her family disliked her and treated her unfairly. She always disliked this and hated that.
Especially since there was some unpleasantness when we moved last time.
Even her teacher Gu Huangwu had some opinions about her.
But Gu Dongxue's words just now made him feel warm in his heart. He felt that this sister still had some human touch.
"Don't worry, the Liu family won't cause any trouble."
He is not bragging, even ten Lius are no match for his wife.
The expression on Gu Dongxue's face froze for a moment, but she didn't say anything else.
The more he talked, the more mistakes he made. It would be bad if he was discovered. At the moment, he didn't want to turn against his family. After all, if the children at home wanted to study, they really had to rely on Gu Jiayue.
But she also wanted to vent her anger.
Although Liu's nephew is a complete villain, Gu Jiayue will indeed suffer if she marries him. But didn't that woman go through the same thing?
At worst, she could just help out more when the time comes. Maybe Gu Jiayue would be grateful to her and give her more good things.
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. She unconsciously walked faster, and even Gu Huangwu could hardly keep up.
Qian Yulin took Liu all the way back to the village and found the village barefoot doctor.
The doctor took a look and said, "It's not serious. The bones are not broken. Just wrap it with some herbs for a while and it will be fine."
Qian Yulin breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your help, uncle."
The old doctor waved his hand and went to get the herbs, but his wife was still there, curiously eyeing Liu. "Old Qian, those marks on your face look like slap marks, don't they? Did your old Qian hit you again? And hurt your hand?"
Liu quickly lowered her head to hide the slap mark on her face, but it was seen and there was no point in hiding it.
She suppressed her displeasure and said, "How could that be? My husband Qian is very kind to me. He hasn't beaten me for almost a month. He even sent me out of the village early this morning."
Wang curled her lips and asked, "Then who gave you this slap mark on your face?"
"Hey, no one hit me, I just accidentally fell on the rake at home."
Wang was half-believing and half-doubting. Finally, seeing that Liu didn't seem very willing to talk, she stopped asking. "Oh, then you're unlucky. You guys sit down, I'm going to work."
When Wang went out, she happened to run into her next-door neighbor. She looked back and saw that Liu hadn't come out. She walked over and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you, the daughter-in-law of the old Qian family was beaten again. I asked her if it was Old Qian who beat her, and she lied to me, saying she accidentally fell on the rake."
The neighbor was also a gossipy person and wanted to go and take a look, but was stopped by Wang.
"Is it true? Maybe he really fell?"
Wang slapped her thigh. "How can I not tell whether she was beaten or thrown?"
"She deserves it. She'll be spreading rumors in the village all day."
The two of them walked away while talking, not knowing that everything was heard by Liu who got up to go to the toilet.
She pinched her palms hard, her eyes filled with resentment as she watched the two figures walk away. "Gu Chunyan, you embarrassed me, and I'm going to make things difficult for you too!"
