The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

"No!" Shu Mingzheng immediately shook her head, blushing, and said in a firm tone, "Sister Xiaohuai, in this life I...I will not marry anyone other than your elder brother! My biological father couldn't protect my mother, couldn't protect me and my brother, and his wife is not only my mother, and his children are not only us brothers and sisters. Zong'er and I don't care about his pitiful fatherly love.

Gao and her three bastards tried to harm us time and again, but my father always gave them a light hand, shielded them with various excuses, and allowed us to live in harmony.

Humph, live in harmony? He didn't even think about the fact that we, my brother and I, are the children of Gao's rival in love, and we are also the ones who took away her children's property. How can Gao live in harmony with us?

Since my father first protected those people, my brother and I have been without a father. We have survived with great difficulty on our own, and it has nothing to do with our father, so we don’t need a father for our weddings and funerals.”

Gu Qinghuai's eyes brightened a little.

The eldest brother really likes Sister Shu, but Sister Shu's family relationships are too complicated. If she and Shu Ming are confused, lack independent opinions, and are foolishly filial, once the eldest brother gets involved with their family, there will be endless troubles and life will be in chaos. Even if he likes someone very much, the feelings will fade away over time.

Now it seems that Sister Shu is very opinionated, has a clear distinction between what she likes and dislikes, is not at all docile, and certainly not foolishly filial. No matter how complicated the Shu family is, Sister Shu can carve out a piece of clean land in the mud.

And she also had the confidence to help them and was no longer timid and cautious.

Gu Qinghuai took Shu Mingzheng's hand and said sincerely, "Sister Shu, it's great to have a sister-in-law like you. However, I am still very worried. If you don't tell County Magistrate Shu about your marriage to my eldest brother, will County Magistrate Shu blame my eldest brother for kidnapping his daughter?

After all, he is the county magistrate, the head of a county. If he were to punish me, how could my eldest brother, a peasant, bear it?

Of course, I am not questioning or opposing your marriage by asking this, but if we really encounter such a situation in the future, how should we deal with it? "

In fact, Gu Qinghuai was not afraid of County Magistrate Shu.

Since the Shu family has entered the officialdom, they are bound to be involved in factional struggles. Presumably, they have both friendly forces and opponents in the court. It is actually very easy to control the Shu family, all you have to do is hand a knife to their opponents.

With Qi Yuanxiu and Qi Yuanshuo's understanding of the officials in the court, it was easy for Gu Qinghuai to get first-hand information about the Shu family.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghuai suddenly had an inspiration and thought of a way to collect information about the imperial capital.

However, now is not the time to think about this.

What Gu Qinghuai was worried about was that if County Magistrate Shu or the Shu family hurt her brother in the future, and she had to deal with County Magistrate Shu or the Shu family, what would Shu Mingzheng's attitude be.

Only by understanding Shu Mingzheng's attitude could she take appropriate measures.

Shu Mingzheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "If my father dares to embarrass Brother Qingshan, Zong'er and I will not let him go. Sister Xiaohuai, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Over the years, Zong'er and I have a lot of evidence against my father and the Shu family. As long as he dares to touch Brother Qingshan, I don't mind handing these evidence to the Shu family's mortal enemy and destroy the entire Shu family!"

Gu Qinghuai was very surprised. She didn't expect that Sister Shu was so clear-headed. It was far beyond her expectations.

Gu Qinghuai simply said, "Sister Shu, let me be honest with you. When you marry my brother in the future, if your father, Gao or anyone from the Shu family dares to hurt you, I will definitely take action.

If I hurt Magistrate Shu, Gao, or the Shu family, what will happen to Sister Shu? Will she blame me? "

"Blame you? How is that possible!" Shu Mingzheng's eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "I knew, little sister Huai, that you would protect me when I am bullied in the future. Don't worry, you can hurt my father, Gao's family, and the Shu family as you please, and you don't have to worry about me and Zong'er!"

Back then, her grandfather favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and her grandmother suffered all kinds of humiliation. They persecuted the Shu family, which was controlled by old Gao. Old Gao seized her mother's dowry, married her father off as a concubine, insulted her mother, and suppressed her siblings in various ways.

It's not that her grandfather is unaware of this, but that old man is of the same character as her father. He thinks these are just jealousies in the backyard and not a big deal, so he can only smooth things over and turn a blind eye.

They were cruel to her and Zong'er, so why should she and Zong'er be loyal to them?

Gu Qinghuai chuckled, "Sister Shu, I feel relieved when you say that. From now on, you will be my sister-in-law, so of course I have to protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will kill him!"

Shu Mingzheng's eyes were slightly moist and she said in a choked voice: "Xiao Huai, you are so nice. I am lucky to meet your brother. Without him, I would not have such a good family. I am really happy."

"My elder brother is also very happy to meet you," Gu Qinghuai smiled gently, "Okay, Sister Shu, you should quickly apply some scar removal cream and rest early. See you tomorrow."

Shu Mingzheng wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded: "Well, Sister Xiaohuai should also go to bed early."

After Gu Qinghuai walked out of the room, Shu Mingzheng immediately took out the scar removal cream, scooped out a little with his fingers, and carefully applied it on the scar.

Although her appearance cannot control her life, if she can restore her appearance, it will be icing on the cake. Why not do it?

Besides, no one doesn't like more beautiful things, and she also hopes that Brother Qingshan can see her true face.

At least, no one would laugh at her for being ugly anymore.

On the second day, before daybreak, a fire suddenly appeared in the yard, followed by shouts and cries of fighting and killing.

Shu Mingzheng and Shu Mingzong were both frightened awake, breaking out in cold sweats. The brother and sister quickly put on their clothes almost simultaneously and opened the window to look.

It turns out that the whole family is practicing martial arts!

Of course, except for Gu Qinghuai who was pregnant.

It seems that there are not only the Gu family, but also the Meng family.

Xiao Shitou and Aren Ge stood at the front, demonstrating the moves, while the others waved their arms and legs, practicing enthusiastically, and occasionally using the newly learned moves to fight each other.

Shu Mingzheng and his sister were both surprised.

Xiao Huai's (the Great God) family are all strong men. They are already so powerful, but they are still practicing martial arts diligently. They get up before noon, including the disabled Gu Qingshan, Zhu Meijun who is over 60 years old, and Xiao Huo who is over three years old.

Gu Qingshan was leaning on a cane, practicing walking with difficulty. Although it was already autumn, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his face became paler with every step he took.

Sometimes, he would fall to the ground in a mess, but he didn't want anyone to support him. He would still grit his teeth, stand up tremblingly, and continue to move forward.

Looking at the spirited people in the courtyard, Shu Mingzong was suddenly shocked. He felt that he was really useless in the past. He was really bad at neither literature nor martial arts, and had accomplished nothing. He was even worse than the three-year-old Xiaohuo.
