Chapter 223 Foster Mother
The driver even whipped the horse and hit it on the back.
The horse felt pain and followed suit.
Almost at the same time, the wheels that had been stuck in the carriage slowly moved up.
The carriage continued to move forward, and everyone behind it breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jingchun looked at the people who were still soaked despite wearing straw raincoats, and said:
"Everyone has worked hard. Let's see if there are any villages ahead so we can stop and rest."
Although time is urgent, we are not even halfway through the journey and the rain came suddenly. If we don’t rest in time, I’m afraid everyone will fall ill.
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, he got into the carriage.
At this moment, she knew very well that it was not the time to act like a hero. If she got sick, it would probably waste even more time.
Fortunately, the heavy rain did not last long. After the rain stopped, they saw a village not far away.
When Ye Wenxi saw this, he immediately rode his horse to Gu Jingchun's carriage.
"Jingchun, there is a village ahead. Let's rest there tonight."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun opened the car window, first glanced in the direction of Ye Wenxi, and then nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."
Ye Wenxi has been traveling all year round and has far more experience in these matters than she does.
Moreover, Gu Jingchun felt dizzy and drowsy at this time, and was obviously a little sleepy.
She lay in the carriage, not caring about anything, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
This time, she saw her adoptive mother, Mei Xueli, again in her dream.
She was a very ordinary woman.
He has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary personality. He is the kind of person who can't be found even in a crowd.
But it was such a person who raised her alone.
She often sat in the yard holding little Gu Jingchun and read picture books to him during the day.
At night, he would point at the stars in the sky with Gu Jingchun.
The stars in the sky are very bright. When Gu Jingchun looks up, he will see the sky full of stars.
"Our Chun'er is the most beautiful, just like the stars in the sky."
Gu Jingchun didn't understand at the time. He just grinned and asked, "Are the stars in the sky beautiful, or is Chun'er beautiful?"
"Of course it's our Chun Er Mei!"
Mei Xueli held the little Gu Jingchun in her arms, looked at her face, gently stroked her hair, and said:
"Remember, Chun'er, even if you are a star, you are the brightest one among all the stars."
"No one in this world is as noble as you."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
After a few days, Mei Xueli made her a piece of clothing embroidered with stars.
She put it on and spun around happily.
However, the clothes were soon torn by the neighbor's little boy.
Gu Jingchun went back and cried.
Mei Xueli, who has always been kind and inconspicuous, will go to seek justice for her.
It was also at that time that she realized that her adoptive mother, who had always been gentle and taciturn, could be so scary when she got angry.
She scared those people so much that they dared not say anything and paid a lot of copper coins as compensation, and the matter was finally over.
However, from that day on, they began to be bullied by the villagers.
The ignorant villagers would throw stones into their yards at night.
They would block their doors with feces to prevent them from going out.
She would push down the clothes that Mei Xueli had just washed.
All the vegetables planted by Mei Xueli will be pulled out.
Even the wheat planted by Mei Xueli was damaged by them during the harvest.
Mei Xueli was very angry, but how could she fight against so many people in the village on her own?
So, she endured it again and again.
Finally, he went to a hillside not far away, built a small house by himself, and reclaimed several acres of farmland in front of the small house.
Gu Jingchun didn't understand at that time, he just jumped and skipped along with Mei Xueli, and danced with joy because he was about to move into a new house.
But she didn't know that Mei Xueli took a whole year to build this house.
And her body was exhausted at this time.
At that time, she would occasionally sit on the ground and sob silently.
Gu Jingchun didn't understand at that time, so he just handed her two freshly picked fruits.
"Mother, try this fruit. It's very sweet. If you eat such a sweet fruit, you won't cry anymore, right?"
Every time this happened, Mei Xueli would hug her and would soon stop crying.
It was also because of this that Gu Jingchun in his previous life agreed to go back with them after he came to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Because they said that they would give Mei Xueli a sum of money so that Mei Xueli could live a comfortable life in the future and would not suffer any hardship.
In her previous life, after Gu Jingchun was taken back to Tiandu by the people from Yong'an Marquis Mansion, she never saw her adoptive mother again.
At that time, Chu Qianlan said that her adoptive mother was old and in poor health, so they specially found a doctor to take her to a place with a suitable temperature to recuperate.
However, later, Gu Jingchun sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her.
Because of this, Gu Jingchun was very sad.
Because in her opinion, although her adoptive mother had swapped her out, she had never treated her harshly and had given all her best things to Gu Jingchun.
At that time, Gu Jingchun couldn't understand why his adoptive mother insisted on letting Gu Jingchun learn something useless even though the family had no food to eat.
For example, reading, calligraphy, playing the piano, dancing, etc.
For example, getting dressed and putting on makeup.
At that time, Gu Jingchun didn't even have a proper piece of clothing, but she learned the dressing styles that only the ladies from wealthy families would wear.
In Gu Jingchun's opinion at the time, these were of no use to them.
However, after Gu Jingchun returned to Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he played a huge role and prevented Gu Jingchun from making a fool of himself.
I'm afraid the adoptive mother felt guilty at that time, or perhaps she guessed that Gu Jingchun would come back one day.
That's why she used her own methods to help Gu Jingchun learn these things, which were originally hers to learn.
Moreover, her adoptive mother was extremely kind to her and taught her a lot.
Although she didn't know many words, she taught Gu Jingchun a lot of principles.
Unfortunately, in her previous life, she was forced to marry the third prince and was then forcibly imprisoned.
The whole person feels like being trapped in a prison.
Even if she had a chance to escape, she would be caught back soon.
She never saw her adoptive mother until her death.
After Gu Jingchun was reborn, she did not leave her adoptive mother, nor did she resent her adoptive mother.
In her opinion, her adoptive mother took her away, not to harm her, but to help her.
After she was reborn, she first settled her adoptive mother down before she started her own plan.
Gu Jinxi is my first step.
The second step is to establish Tianjing Trading Company and have your own power.
Returning to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion for revenge is the third step.
The fourth step is to leverage the power of the Yong'an Marquisate or the Luo family to gain a certain amount of authority and connections, which will allow one to have a smooth and lasting future.
