Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 185 Scared Faint

Old Mrs. Mo, seeing Mo Qiuyue crying and her own schemes failing, felt a deep sadness surge and sat on the ground, crying out loud: "Oh, why is my family’s fate so miserable?"

Nothing they plan ever seems to work out.

It was the same with Chunyue’s matter before, nearly successful but then ruined by He Sanlai. And now today’s matter too.

What kind of plague is this He Sanlai that he’s always going against our Mo Family?

Village Chief He, seeing the chaotic scene, shouted angrily: "Shut up, what are you howling for? Keep howling, and I’ll throw you out of the village."

Village Chief He was also weary. What exactly does the Mo Family want to do? Why is it always they who stir up trouble? Can’t they live their lives peacefully?

With the Mo Family’s plan failed, Old Mrs. Mo was also enraged and stood up shouting: "Shut up? My Qiuyue has suffered such grievance, and you want me to shut up? I’m telling you, if today’s matter doesn’t deliver justice to our Mo Family, we will not rest until we are dead!"

Village Chief He was taken aback by Old Mrs. Mo’s sudden burst of energy. Gu Jinli, however, was not intimidated by Old Mrs. Mo and said to Village Chief He: "Chief, from what Grandma Mo indicates, she wants He Sanlai to marry Qiuyue. So let’s call over Elder Mo and settle this marriage, since they’ve already hugged and kissed. It’s only right they marry."

Gu Jinli’s words hit like a thunderclap, making both Old Mrs. Mo and Mo Qiuyue panic.

Old Mrs. Mo pointed at Gu Jinli and said: "You impudent girl, what nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever say I wanted to marry Qiuyue off to He Sanlai? That waste, is he worthy of marrying my Qiuyue? Pah!"

Her two grown granddaughters, one already disadvantaged by He Sanlai, causing a huge loss, if another were to lose out, she might as well jump into the river in frustration.

Gu Jinli laughed and said: "Your Mo Qiuyue and He Sanlai have been hugging and kissing each other; if she doesn’t marry him, who else will she marry? If she doesn’t marry He Sanlai, your Mo Qiuyue will have to marry a widower and become someone else’s stepmother."

Don’t blame her for being harsh, it was Mo Qiuyue who had courted death, longing for someone she shouldn’t have!

The surrounding villagers were supportive, hearing Gu Jinli’s words, they echoed in unison: "That’s right, Aunt Mo, since your Qiuyue has been kissed by He Sanlai, she must marry him, hurry up and choose a date to marry your granddaughter off."

And they congratulated He Sanlai: "Who would have thought, San Lai, you lucky chap, previously unable to find a wife, and now you get to marry two at once, your luck isn’t small."

He Sanlai knew how to play the game, thanking the villagers with folded hands: "Much obliged, much obliged, it’s all thanks to the Yue Family’s high regard. But my Chunyue treats me very well, I dare not take another wife, but accepting a concubine will do."

Hearing this, Mo Qiuyue nearly fainted, she glanced at He Sanlai, seeing him in his grey coarse clothing, skinny and pigeon-breasted, she nearly threw up, grabbed Old Mrs. Mo’s hand, and cried: "Grandma, I don’t want to marry He Sanlai as a concubine, let’s go, quickly return home, pretend nothing happened."

Gu Jinli laughed and said: "Things have already happened, everyone has seen it, how can we pretend nothing happened?"

Mo Qiuyue was scared to death, turned back to glare at Gu Jinli, pointing at her: "Gu Xiaoyu, you filthy girl, don’t talk nonsense, are you trying to drive me to death?"

To marry He Sanlai as a concubine, she might as well be dead.

Gu Jinli walked up to Mo Qiuyue, grabbed her finger, and twisted it hard.

"Ah~" Mo Qiuyue screamed in pain, looking at Gu Jinli with eyes full of terror.

And what terrified her even more came afterwards.

Gu Jinli leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "This time was just a small lesson. Put away any thoughts you have, and if you dare target the Gu Family People again, next time it won’t be as simple as becoming a concubine for He Sanlai."

Her voice was very low, audible only to Mo Qiuyue. Upon hearing these words, Mo Qiuyue stared blankly at Gu Jinli for a moment, then rolled her eyes back and fainted on the spot.

"Qiuyue, Qiuyue, what’s wrong? Wake up quick, don’t frighten your granny." Old Mrs. Mo hugged Mo Qiuyue, looked up at Gu Jinli, and angrily questioned, "What did you say to Qiuyue, you wicked girl? Why did she faint all of a sudden?"

Gu Jinli flashed a toothy smile, "I didn’t say much, just mentioned that my family would pay for He Sanlai’s concubine-accepting feast. She fainted from joy."

Old Mrs. Mo obviously wouldn’t believe such nonsense. Now that she had lost face and her granddaughter had fainted, she was terrified and at a loss, without the time to deal with Gu Jinli. She shouted towards the mud house compound where Elder Mo and the others were hiding, "Old man, come out quick! Qiuyue has fainted! Hurry and help to carry her back."

Elder Mo, upon hearing her, wished he could strangle Old Mrs. Mo, "Stupid woman, now you’ve really doomed our Mo Family."

"Dad, Dad, what do we do?" Mo Dali panicked, grabbing Elder Mo’s hand, "If we go out now, we’ll lose all our dignity."

Elder Mo also panicked, but he had always been selfish. Seeing the situation exposed, he hurriedly said, "Can’t go out. If we go out, Village Chief He won’t spare us."

He looked around and pointed at a drainage ditch behind them, "Go, we’ll leave this way. Let’s go home and talk first. If Village Chief He comes asking, we’ll just say we didn’t know and that it was your mother who went to the Gu Family Workshop behind our backs."

Just as they were about to make their escape, Village Chief He’s voice came through, "If you Mo Family dare to run, then even in death, Mo Qiuyue must become a concubine to He Sanlai!"

Village Chief He was both angry and furious after hearing Old Mrs. Mo’s words. It turned out that today the whole Mo Family had come to make trouble, intending to disgrace the Gu Family.

Having just made a fortune thanks to the Gu Family, the Mo Family dared to trouble them. If Village Chief He didn’t give the Mo Family a severe lesson, then he didn’t deserve the He surname.

"Da Cang, go and drag them out," Village Chief He directly ordered He Dacang to fetch the people from the mud house compound.

"Yes." He Dacang hurried off, with eager villagers running along to watch the fun.

Elder Mo couldn’t afford to lose face. Seeing He Dacang and others coming, he tried to run, but was held back by Mo Dakui and his wife.

Mo Dakui’s wife cried out, "Dad, dad, you can’t go. If you do, Qiuyue will definitely be sent off by Village Chief He to serve as He Sanlai’s concubine."

The Mo Family had escaped famine and had no solid foundation or backing. Furthermore, Qiuyue had publicly embraced He Sanlai. If Village Chief He seized upon this point and insisted on her marrying He Sanlai as a concubine, they would have no recourse.

Mo Dakui also begged Elder Mo, "Dad, please have some sympathy for Qiuyue, stay and save her."

Elder Mo still wanted to struggle, but He Dacang and the others had arrived.

"Elder Mo, come with me, my dad is waiting for you," said He Dacang.

The villagers who had followed to enjoy the spectacle also said, "Elder Mo, stop hiding, come out now, we’ve all seen you."

Elder Mo’s face burned with embarrassment. Begrudgingly, he could only bow his head, and with a hand half-covering his face, followed He Dacang towards where Village Chief He was, along with his family.
