Chapter 16
After shouting, he hurried back, stretched out his hand to stop Gu Daniu, and also stood next to Gu Xinxin, letting Gu Xinxin's head hit him first.
Gu Xinxin was really fed up with this kind of life where she would be beaten for the slightest disagreement.
She struggled desperately, reaching out to scratch Gu Daniu's arms and cheeks, but the power gap between men and women was more than her courage could handle. Her little strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree for Gu Daniu.
However, although it didn't pose a threat, it was still quite annoying. Gu Daniu was getting more and more impatient. He had been holding back his anger for the past two days and couldn't let it go. If Gu Xinxin could readily offer a way to make money, he would get the benefit and might even let Gu Xinxin go.
But he didn't expect that Gu Xinxin still had the courage to negotiate with him. His anger rebounded, and he looked at Gu Xinxin as if he was looking at a disgusting wild rabbit that kept jumping around in front of him and provoking him.
Oh, the wild rabbit may not have the courage like Gu Xinxin.
Old Mrs. Gu sat beside the table and stretched out her hand to Gu Daniu: "Oh, stop hitting him. You're hurting the child."
After a while, he turned to Gu Xinxin and said, "Hurry up and apologize to your father. Say you are wrong."
He was talking a lot, but he just sat there motionless.
Gu Xinxin stretched her legs back to reach the stool at the door, but couldn't reach it.
Gu Daniu dragged Gu Xinxin to the yard. Gu Xiangrong stumbled forward, holding Gu Xinxin in his arms. He shouted again, "Second Aunt, help! My father is going to beat my sister to death!"
The second aunt's house was next door, and she could hear the clanging sounds: "Quick, stop Gu Daniu! Gu Daniu, what did I tell you yesterday?"
My eldest cousin was kicking the door outside.
But Gu Daniu became more and more irritable, as if the more others pleaded for mercy, the more dissatisfied he became with Gu Xinxin, and the more he wanted to beat her to death.
He grabbed Gu Xinxin's hair with one hand and reached for the stick at the wall with the other. Gu Xiangrong was too much of a hindrance, and since he was holding Gu Xinxin, he couldn't free his hands to hit her, so using the stick was more convenient.
Gu Xinxin also knew that she couldn't let him get the stick, so she simply reached out and hugged his arm. She suddenly turned her head and stretched out her head to bite Gu Daniu's arm. He was wearing thin clothes in the summer, and there was flesh under the layer of cloth.
At that moment, Gu Daniu screamed... even his eldest cousin who was kicking the door outside couldn't help but stop, and the whole yard fell silent.
Gu Xinxin refused to give in. She originally thought that Gu Daniu had already admitted defeat that day, but she didn't expect that Gu Daniu was not the partners she had worked with in her previous life. This man had no fighting ethics. After losing once, he still planned to fight again.
Since that’s the case, let’s fight to the end.
Even if I can't make him admit defeat this time, there will be next time, and the next time, and the next time after that.
One day, I will make him kneel down and admit defeat. Only then will I truly defeat him.
Gu Xinxin completely ignored the pain at the back of her head and bit the piece of flesh tightly, refusing to let go.
Gu Xiangrong stood there in a daze, while Gu Chen anxiously circled around Gu Daniu, "Gu Xinxin, you little bitch, just let go! You dare to hit your father? Do you believe I will have the village chief kick you out of the village? I will go to the county government and sue you for disobedience!"
Old Mrs. Gu couldn't sit still any longer and came out of the house trembling: "Xinxin, that's your father, please let go quickly. If anything happens to your father, you will die..."
Gu Chen was about to grab Gu Xinxin's cheek, but Gu Xiangrong immediately pushed her away: "Don't touch my sister!"
If he can't stop his biological father, how can he stop his stepmother?
The door was finally kicked open by the eldest cousin. Second Auntie immediately rushed over. After seeing the scene clearly, she turned around and said, "Close the door!"
My eldest cousin subconsciously turned around and closed the door, blocking out the curious gazes of the neighbors and those across the street.
Gu Daniu was a hunter after all, so he was caught off guard at first and screamed in pain. But he quickly reacted, elbowed Gu Xinxin, and slammed into the wall next to him. With Gu Xinxin as a cushion, he would definitely not be hurt. But if Gu Xinxin had hit him... she might not have survived.
Second Aunt and eldest cousin quickly reached out to pull Gu Daniu. Second Aunt also persuaded Gu Xinxin: "Xinxin, please let go. If you really bite off a piece of your flesh, what will you do in the future? The county magistrate will definitely come to arrest you."
Filial piety is more important than anything else. If you dare to bite off a piece of your own father's flesh today, will you dare to poison and destroy the entire village tomorrow?
The county magistrate won't ask you why you bit your own father - after all, Gu Daniu only hit you once, he didn't say he would beat you to death, right?
The eldest cousin also shouted, "Xinxin, we are here, just let go first, I promise your father won't beat you again."
Gu Xinxin paused and relaxed slightly. Yes, Second Aunt was right. If she had really bitten off this piece of meat today, she would probably have to go to the county jail immediately.
She didn't want to end up in jail.
As soon as she let go, Gu Daniu seized the opportunity, raised his arms, lifted her up and threw her to the ground.
Second Auntie immediately reached out to hold Gu Xinxin's legs: "Let go! If you don't, I will call the whole village to see how you plan to kill Xinxin."
Gu Daniu's eyes were red, as if he had mad cow disease, but he refused to let go. His eldest cousin held his arm so that he couldn't lift his hand.
In the stalemate, Gu Daniu couldn't kill Gu Xinxin by throwing her down, so he could only put his arm down first.
Gu Xinxin was finally free. She leaned on Gu Xiangrong and spat on the ground. She had no choice but to spit. The taste of blood in her mouth made her feel like she was going to be infected with mad cow disease.
Old Mrs. Gu cried beside her: "Oh, Xinxin, how can you be so unfilial? That's your father..."
Second Aunt's face was not happy: "Shut up, Third Aunt, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you could stand up for yourself, you should have taken care of this troublemaker earlier and explained things to Brother Da Niu. Then there wouldn't be such a thing happening today. You want to be an old lady, but don't you think you have the fate to do it?"
The troublemaker in the house refers to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's face flushed: "Second sister-in-law, this is our family's business. We have already separated..."
"Divide the family, divide the family. Have you divided the ancestors?" Second Aunt asked, "If your third branch has divided the family, I don't need to come today. Oh, I can't not come. How about this, I don't have a daughter. Since your family doesn't want Xinxin, then adopt Xinxin to me."
She was originally speaking in a rush, but after she said it, her eyes suddenly lit up and she clapped her hands: "Yes, that's it, I like Xinxin very much, I have always treated her as my own child, it's perfect for me to adopt her."
Gu Chen's heart suddenly jumped, and she looked fierce but was actually weak: "Second sister-in-law is really good at taking advantage. Xinxin has been raised by our family for more than ten years. Now that she is about to be adopted by her husband's family and can be exchanged for a betrothal gift, you say you will adopt her? You have such a long hand, why do you only grab rice from other people's pots? You have such a beautiful idea."
