Xiahe Village, Gu Family Courtyard.
Gu Ciyu was sitting on the swing chair that Li Pei had set up for her in the courtyard, swaying slowly, gazing into the distance, looking very content.
Xue Yuchan, standing before her, looked anxious. "I made a mistake this time, but you can't just give up like this."
"What else can we do?" Gu Ciyu sighed, then looked at her with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "In any case, you've already ruined this opportunity."
"Lin Qixia is so cunning. After this incident, she will definitely be more vigilant than before. Do you think she will give you another chance?"
Xue Yuchan, “I…”
She was momentarily speechless, caught off guard.
Gu Ciyu was right; this attempt failed.
They could only watch as that bitch Lin Qixia continued to wreak havoc in the village.
"Damn it!" Xue Yuchan cursed indignantly.
"She's such a vicious person, she's done so many disgusting things, yet she's so lucky, it's like God is always on her side!"
"They almost succeeded this time—truly, a scourge lives on for a thousand years!"
By the end of her tirade, Xue Yuchan was almost out of breath.
Gu Ciyu got up and slowly went to the stone table to pour her a glass of water, handing it to her. "Have you finished cursing?"
"This..." Xue Yuchan's expression froze, somewhat flattered. "How could I trouble Sister Gu to pour me tea?"
She quickly took the tea and thanked Gu Ciyu repeatedly.
Gu Ciyu's usually cold eyes now showed a hint of helplessness. "No matter what, after this incident, Lin Qixia's image in the villagers' hearts has changed."
"Although we don't know why she did this, she did achieve her goal."
"As for what will happen in the future, I can't predict it."
As she spoke, Gu Ciyu shook her head with a wry smile, looking worried for everyone.
Seeing this, Xue Yuchan's eyes, which had been filled with resentment, turned somewhat red. "Sister Gu—don't be discouraged so quickly!"
As she spoke, her expression hardened. "Please give me another chance."
"What do you want to do?" Gu Ciyu asked her, frowning.
Xue Yuchan: "I want to prove myself. I will definitely! I will definitely not let Lin Qixia's scheme succeed!"
Ever since Xue Yuchan met Gu Ciyu, she has admired her for being such a kind and considerate girl, completely different from the vicious Lin Qixia.
Naturally, she didn't want to disappoint the other party.
"I see." Upon hearing this, Gu Ciyu's eyes, which had been filled with worry, softened with warmth. "I admire your perseverance."
Her words brought tears to Xue Yuchan's eyes. "Really? Sister Gu, you're praising me like that. I'm so happy."
"However, don't rush, rushing will lead to mistakes."
Gu Ciyu patted her head and gently advised her.
"Then what's next—" Xue Yuchan asked her impatiently.
Gu Ciyu said, "Next... don't make any more moves. I'm worried that Lin Qixia will retaliate against you. You saw how she dealt with Zhao Shao back then."
Her words moved Xue Yuchan even more:
"Waaaaah, Sister Gu, you're so worried about me, I don't even know what to say."
Gu Ciyu, "Given your family's situation... and how your father has treated you lately, if I don't care about you, who will? It's just—"
She paused as she spoke.
"But what?" Xue Yuchan asked her immediately.
Gu Ciyu said, "It's nothing serious. You know Lin Qixia's current situation; she has gained the trust of many people in the village."
"If she really has some hidden, harmful plan, we might be caught off guard if we don't take precautions..."
"Don't worry about that!" Xue Yuchan understood what she meant and immediately patted her chest to assure her, "I'll keep an eye on her from now on, anyway, my house is close to hers."
No matter what, she would not let Lin Qixia destroy the village, nor would she let her hurt Sister Gu!
If it really comes to the last resort, she will personally take action to eliminate Lin Qixia, this scourge, even if it means dying together with her opponent!
"Okay." Gu Ciyu smiled with satisfaction at her expression.
Finally, a meaningful smile appeared in those cold and sorrowful eyes.
...
Lin Qixia returned from town in the evening.
She was exhausted.
Although we didn't find a suitable shop on this trip, we did find a suitable warehouse to store the grain, which was quite a success.
Tomorrow I'll find a suitable buyer, get rid of that batch of rice, and make a fortune.
"Xia'er is back? Come wash up and have dinner."
Candles were lit in the Lin family courtyard, and the houses were filled with people in the warm light. He Zhilan stood at the door and waved to her.
Lin Qixia stared blankly for a second as she looked at the warm and lively scene in the courtyard.
I feel a little dazed, as if I have a place of my own in such a happy home.
Unbeknownst to them, their lives were now completely different from their previous ones.
"You're here." She smiled and stepped inside.
That night, Lin Qixia felt content and happy.
The next day, Lin Qixia went to town and sold the rice she had bought the day before to a merchant.
"Rice?" The clerk in the grain store was amused by the little girl's words. "Where would a little girl like you get rice to sell to us? Go away and play somewhere else!"
"Are you sure you don't want to accept it?" Lin Qixia felt annoyed.
This was the third time she had been rejected. She couldn't understand why these shop owners were so quick to judge people by their appearance.
