Yang did not give her the medicine bowl, but handed it to Old Lady Yin:

"Mother, go and feed this medicine to my second brother. I'll apply some medicine on Yingxue's face."

After hearing this, Old Lady Yin wiped her tears with her sleeve and took Gu Yingxue's hand:

"Yingxue, stop crying. Go and ask your sister-in-law to put some medicine on your face first?"

After persuading Gu Yingxue, Mrs. Yin took Yang's bowl and went to feed Gu Yubai the medicine.

Old Mrs. Yin felt as bitter as coptis root in her heart. Although her daughter was born in the countryside, she and her husband had raised her with great care over the years.

She and her old man have grown old worrying about their daughter's marriage. If she marries too high, she is afraid that the in-laws will bully her, but if she marries her to a farmer's family, she is afraid that her daughter will suffer.

After much careful selection, she finally decided to bring Lin Zhixue to her family, thinking that because of her family's kindness, Lin Zhixue would definitely be good to her daughter.

But who would have thought that Lin Zhixue was such a cruel person, and would become so arrogant when he succeeded!

Now my daughter’s second half of life is ruined!

Her second son will also suffer from a chronic illness in the future, and she is really hateful in her heart!

I hate that people’s hearts have changed and that the powerful and wealthy treat poor people like us as grass!

Old Mrs. Yin only hoped that her old man and eldest son who were studying at Tanghui Academy in the city would return home as soon as possible.

Her old man and eldest son are usually in Tanghui Academy and can only come back four days a month. It is not time for them to come back yet.

Although Mrs. Yin knew that even if the old man and the eldest son returned, they would be helpless against the Lin family, she still hoped that the two pillars of the family would come back to support the family.

She didn't know why she always felt uneasy.

She looked at her unconscious son and her daughter who was calmly letting Yang apply ointment on her, and the uneasy feeling in her heart became even more intense.

She always felt like the sky was falling!

"Sister-in-law, I have been too selfish over the years and have delayed my brother. I always thought that Lin Zhixue was more talented than my brother, and it was reasonable for the family's money to be spent on him. I also always thought that Lin Zhixue was the son-in-law of the Gu family and my father's favorite disciple. He would definitely not treat the Gu family badly after he became famous. So it was natural for me to spend the family's money and delay my brother until now. You must hate me in your heart."

Gu Yingxue stared at Yang in a daze, with guilt and regret in her eyes that could not be erased.

"It would be a lie to say that I don't hate you. Your husband has delayed my husband year after year. He took the county exam first, the provincial exam first, and the metropolitan exam first. My husband can only use the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that your husband has left over. How can I say that I don't hate you?"

After hearing what Gu Yingxue said, Yang didn't want to say anything at first, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so she had to let it out.

After hearing what Yang said, Gu Yingxue's eyes were filled with regret and pain:

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just want to tell you that I really know I was wrong. I thought that we would be a family after we got married, and we would live our lives wholeheartedly, but I didn't know that Lin Zhixue was actually a Zhongshan wolf!"

Yang looked at her sister-in-law, who had always been protected by her parents-in-law, had the final say at home, and naturally went back to her parents' home to beg for money after marriage. She was unruly and willful, and always looked down on her for being illiterate. Now she was humble enough to apologize to her in such a humble manner. For some reason, her eyes became extremely sore.

Logically speaking, she should be gloating when she sees her sister-in-law, who is married but still takes advantage of her family, getting into trouble!

But now, seeing her sister-in-law like this, she felt a little uncomfortable. She actually felt that the noble and arrogant sister-in-law was more pleasing to the eye.

"Why are you still talking about this now? You should take good care of your injuries first. When your father-in-law and your eldest brother come back, they will definitely seek justice for you."

Yang said this angrily and glanced at Gu Yingxue guiltily.

Lin Zhixue's actions today completely disregarded the Gu family's reputation, which showed that she was not a grateful person. The words of her father-in-law and husband probably would not have any effect on Lin Zhixue, and she was merely trying to comfort her.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Gu Yingxue said calmly:

"Dad and Big Brother, there is really no need to look for Lin Zhixue for me. Lin Zhixue has become the Zhongshan Wolf who gets rampant when he succeeds."

"If he had cared about my father's kindness in educating him and supporting him financially, he wouldn't have allowed Luo Jiaojiao to humiliate me like this, wouldn't have wanted to demote me to a concubine, and wouldn't have seriously injured my second brother like this."

After hearing what Gu Yingxue said, Yang opened and closed her lips several times but couldn't utter anything.

Yes! The Lin family has now climbed up to the Marquis' Mansion, how can they, the common people, provoke them!

In the end, Yang just sighed and stopped talking.

Because the Gu family had to support Lin Zhixue and Gu Yulang's studies, they only had two meals a day, and it had long become a habit.

So, after feeding Gu Yubai the medicine in the evening, Old Lady Gu and Yang stayed with Gu Yingxue and did not plan to eat.

Mrs. Gu had suffered a great blow today, and coupled with her excessive crying while holding Gu Yingxue, she was already feeling dizzy and dazed, but she was afraid that something might happen to her daughter, so she forced herself to stay with Gu Yingxue.

She always felt that her daughter was a little too calm today.

She was always worried, but she was old after all, and her body was weakening due to years of frugality. Finally, she couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

After covering her mother with the quilt, Gu Yingxue smiled and said to Yang:

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed. You should also rest early."

Yang looked at Gu Yingxue, thought for a moment and said:

"Yingxue, if you don't mind, I will sleep with you today."

"Puchi~, sister-in-law, you don't think I want to commit suicide, do you? Don't worry, I won't. I'm too young to think of suicide."

Gu Yingxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw her sister-in-law's worried eyes. Although the wound on her face destroyed the beauty of her smile, she had regained her usual carefree look.

Yang carefully observed Gu Yingxue for a while and saw that she really didn't seem to care about being divorced. To be honest, she was also very tired today.

Now she was so hungry that she felt dizzy and could not hold on any longer. After confirming that Gu Yingxue was fine, she went back to the house to rest.

Gu Yingxue waited until her mother and sister-in-law fell asleep, then went to see her second brother who was still in a coma. She touched his forehead and found that he did not have a fever. Gu Yingxue's expression relaxed a little.

After looking at Gu Yubai quietly for a long time, tears silently flowed from Gu Yingxue's eyes. She was afraid that she could not help crying and wake up her second brother, so she walked out quickly.

She always thought that her second brother hated her because she had been following Lin Zhixue around all day long since she was a child.

As soon as the second brother saw her following Lin Zhixue, he mocked her and said that she was a stupid girl for calling someone else her brother instead of her own brother!

She used to hate her second brother so much, but she never expected that when she saw him being bullied, he would rush forward even though he knew he couldn't win!

At this moment, Gu Yingxue deeply regretted that she had always gone against her second brother.

It was late at night. Gu Yingxue sat alone in the yard, looking longingly at the home where she grew up. She was thankful that her father and elder brother were in the capital and had not seen Lin Zhixue's ugly face.

Dad is old, and I’m afraid he can’t stand this kind of stimulation.

My eldest brother was just a scholar and could do nothing to Lin Zhixue. It was like hitting a rock with an egg if he met him.

I hope that I will no longer be a burden in the future, and that after the family has earned enough money, my eldest brother can take part in the imperial examination and be on the list, which will not be in vain for his hard work day and night.

At this moment, Gu Yingxue felt an overwhelming hatred in her heart that was about to overwhelm her. She hated Lin Zhixue's indifference, hated herself for being blind, and hated Luo Jiaojiao for bullying her by relying on her noble status!

But no matter how much she hated him, she was born in a humble family and had no power or influence, so she had no ability to take revenge.

Now she is an abandoned woman with a ruined appearance. She is a burden to her family. Although she does not want to die, she has to die.

Years of war have made life increasingly difficult for ordinary people like them; having another mouth to feed is a burden!

What's more, she is pregnant with a baby, so she can no longer take it for granted that she is a burden to her family like before!

Even if she died, her family would not be ridiculed because of a daughter who was divorced and abandoned at home with a disfigured appearance.

Gu Yingxue looked at the night sky sadly. She didn't expect that in the end she would be a person who could not survive in this world!
