Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 16 - 0 Anger

Gu Jinxiu simply shook her head: "No, I don't want to go with him, I want to return and be with my parents."

She couldn't go with Elder Ding; she wasn't foolish. What Gu Dagu said was nothing good. If she went with Elder Ding, her life would be over.

Elder Ding, hearing Gu Jinxiu's words and seeing her resistant demeanor, was very unhappy, and looked at Qian Guangzong with dissatisfaction, questioning, "Didn't you say their entire family was willing to sell themselves? What's going on now?"

When Qian Guangzong came to find him, he had spoken convincingly, his Yue Family was short on food, and the elder cousin of the Yue Family, caring deeply for his family, was willing to sell himself along with his wife and children to provide the Old Gu Family with a way out.

Originally, Qi Mansion had no plans to buy people, but because the Young Madam was close to her delivery, the young master worried for the Young Madam and made the carriage procession extremely slow, resulting in Qi Mansion's carriage team mixing in with a large crowd of disaster victims.

The young master, concerned about potential issues, had no choice but to follow the example of other wealthy households and began purchasing people, planning to use them to confront the disaster victims during robberies, while Protector of the household could then break free to escort them to safety.

Over the past few days, they had already bought quite a few disaster victims, all capable men.

Of Gu Dashan's family, only two were capable men; the other four were women and children. If not for Qian Guangzong saying he'd gift him a beautiful girl, he wouldn't have bought Gu Dashan's family.

Now the contract has been signed, the food and Silver Coins given, yet this girl is unwilling to follow him. Was Qian Guangzong playing him?

Qian Guangzong hurriedly said: "Elder Ding, you've misunderstood. This girl has always been timid. She's just been startled by Elder Ding's imposing manner. Please wait a moment, we'll deliver her to you right away."

Fatty Ding had a fondness for beautiful young girls. Starved of such sights for several months, he finally encountered a pretty and delicate girl like Gu Jinxiu. How could he miss this chance? After urging Qian Guangzong, he stood by waiting.

Qian Guangzong glared at Gu Dagu: "Can't you handle this task? Why haven't you brought Sister Xiu over? How long do you expect Elder Ding to wait?"

This matter had to be resolved today, or else all the benefits his family had received would have to be spat out.

"Elder Ding, calm your anger, I'll bring Sister Xiu to you right away." Gu Dagu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Jincheng, trying to pull him from Gu Jinxiu's embrace: "Brother Cheng, come out quickly, don't impede your sister from enjoying a good fortune."

Though Gu Jincheng was young, he knew they were not good people and couldn't let his sister go with them. Struggling to dodge Gu Dagu's hands, the little boy waved his arms, trying to keep Gu Dagu at bay: "Go away, go away, don't bully my sister, you're all bad people."

Gu Jincheng struggled fiercely, enraging Gu Dagu. She shouted at Qian Chenggui: "Cheng Gui, come and pull this brat away."

Qian Chenggui immediately stepped forward, grabbing Gu Jincheng and yanking him out of Gu Jinxiu's embrace.

Gu Jincheng cried and yelled, trying to protect Gu Jinxiu and bit Qian Chenggui's arm.

Qian Chenggui, in pain, howled and flung Gu Jincheng to the ground. Looking at his arm bleeding from the bite, he cursed: "You wild brat, you've gone against the heavens, even daring to bite your own cousin."

Qian Chenggui had always looked down upon Gu Dashan's family. Now furious for being bitten by Gu Jincheng, whom he deemed a servant, he picked up Gu Jincheng and slapped his face twice resoundingly.

Brother Cheng's face swelled up, with red handprints, his baby teeth knocked out, blood streaming from his mouth, he cried loudly, while crying looking at Gu Jinxiu, shouting: "Sister, run, run..."

"Brother Cheng!" Seeing Gu Jincheng getting hit, Gu Jinxiu got up from the ground, trying to rush over to save Brother Cheng, but was grabbed by Gu Dagu: "Come here to your mother, ungrateful wretch, you only listen when forced."

What was supposed to be an easy task, turned out Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jincheng were this troublesome.

"Li'er, come here and hold onto this vixen." Gu Dagu, fuming with rage, called Qian Li'er, and together they grabbed Gu Jinxiu and dragged her towards Elder Ding.

Elder Ding patted his bulging belly, looking at Gu Jinxiu with interest. Not only was she pretty, but she also had spirit. Good, to his taste.

Elder Ding grew more and more impatient, urging again, "Hurry up and bring the person over. This elder doesn't have time to waste on you."

"Coming right up, it won't ruin Elder Ding's good plans." Gu Dagu said with a placating smile, forcefully dragging Gu Jinxiu alongside Qian Li'er, and pulled her in front of Elder Ding, smiling at him, "Elder Ding, let's go, we will personally deliver this girl to your camp."

Elder Ding nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked towards the depths of the Dead Tree Forest.

This was the strategy Granny Gu had recommended to them.

Granny Gu said that as long as they could deceive Gu Jinxiu into coming, and let her end up in an irrevocable situation with Elder Ding, Gu Dashan's family would have no choice but to work as servants at Qi Mansion for the sake of Gu Jinxiu.

Tears filled Gu Jinxiu's eyes... She looked back at Brother Cheng, who was crying and shouting, then at the short and tubby middle-aged man walking ahead, and for the first time, a fierce determination surged within her. She suddenly resisted and bit hard into Gu Dagu's waist.

"Ah." Gu Dagu cried out in pain and released her grip.

Gu Jinxiu took out the stone knife that Gu Jinli had given her and slashed it across Qian Li'er's face.

Qian Li'er treasured her own appearance the most and let out a piercing scream, releasing Gu Jinxiu.

In disbelief, she stared at Gu Jinxiu and yelled, "Gu Jinxiu, have you gone mad?"

Hearing the commotion, Elder Ding turned his head to see that Gu Jinxiu had actually broken free, his face turning blue with rage, he cursed, "Useless bunch, can't even hold onto a young girl."

Elder Ding stepped in personally, attempting to seize Gu Jinxiu.

Wielding the stone knife in her hand, Gu Jinxiu cried out and threatened, "Don't come closer, or else, I, I'll die together with you."

Bang!

Qian Guangzong picked up a rock and struck Gu Jinxiu from behind, knocking her to the ground, "Ptui, daring to threaten Elder Ding with death, you lowly girl, you've become more defiant these last few months."

"Chengcai, bring the rope, tie this wretched girl up."

"Aye." Qian Chengcai fetched an old rope from the Old Gu Family and tossed it to Qian Guangzong.

Qian Guangzong grabbed Gu Jinxiu's hands, took the rope, and was about to tie her up when a gust of chilling wind hit him from behind, and with a thud, his head was struck by a wooden stick.

Furious, Gu Jinli knocked down Qian Guangzong, stood in front of Gu Jinxiu to protect her, and brandished a sharpened wooden staff towards Elder Ding and Gu Dagu's group, "Make another move, and I'll make you bleed!"

Then, turning to the left, she shouted, "Dad, Third Grandma, I've found Big Sister and Brother Cheng, they're here, come quickly!"

Third Grandma had been looking for firewood near the resting area, and in a moment, Sister Xiu and Brother Cheng had disappeared. Fearing something had happened to them, she urgently went to find others.

Gu Jinli had been worried these days that the Old Gu Family would seek revenge on them. Hearing that Sister Xiu and Brother Cheng were missing, she immediately ran towards Old Gu Family's resting spot, and indeed she found them there.

She also saw Qian Guangzong injuring Gu Jinxiu and about to bind her to send her off, and she was extremely angry. What did these beasts intend to do?

Gu Dashan, Third Grandma, and Father Luo as well as Luo Huiniang hurried over upon hearing the noise and, upon seeing the injured Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jincheng, quickly helped them up and shielded them behind their backs.

Third Grandma pointed at Gu Dagu and scolded, "Yuan, what do you intend to do to our Gu Family People?"

Gu Dagu was a daughter brought in by Granny Gu, not born to Elder Gu, and her former name was Yuan Jinzhi.
