Not long after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had finished breakfast, they heard someone knocking on the door. Yang thought it was the beasts from the Lin family again, so she picked up the woodcutter in the yard and went to open the door while cursing!

She wanted to see which blind person dared to come. If they dared to bully Yingxue again, she would fight with them!

Yang suddenly opened the door and stared at the person who came in with wide eyes. The skinny monkey and a bearded man at the door were so scared that they trembled and took several steps back!

"Monkey! Big fool! You two are calling my soul so early in the morning!"

When Yang saw that it was the gangster who often hung out with her brother-in-law, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself that if anyone from the Lin family dared to come and bully her again, she would die together with the Lin family.

But she still wanted to live, after all, she was going to be an official’s wife in the future!

I heard that the wife of the official eats white steamed buns for every meal, but she doesn’t even know what white steamed buns taste like!

The skinny monkey panted and said in tears:

"Sister-in-law! I...we just came here to give Ergou some money, to see if we can buy him some more medicine so that he can get better soon."

The skinny monkey and the big fool swallowed their saliva and quickly handed over a purse.

It took Yang a while to react before she remembered that her second uncle was called Ergouzi in the village!

She took the purse and saw that there were 200 coins in it!

Yang looked up in shock and saw two figures, one tall and one short, fleeing in panic. She could only shout:

"When my father-in-law comes back, I will definitely return it to you!

But the skinny monkey and the big fool ran too fast, and probably didn't hear it. Yang curled her lips:

"You haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not going to chop you up, so why are you running so fast!"

The skinny monkey and the big stupid guy ran out of breath. After they were sure that Yang didn't catch up with them, they lay down under a big tree at the entrance of the village to catch their breath.

"Big guy, do you think Ergou will... die?"

"Don't look so sad! Er Gouzi is not dead yet, but you've made him cry to death! Didn't the doctor say that as long as he is given the medicine and is well taken care of for a while, he won't die!

The big fool slapped him, then patted the dirt off his body, stood up and prepared to leave. When the skinny monkey saw the big fool leaving, he quickly stood up and followed.

They have to hurry to the dock to grab work. Ergouzi's family doesn't like him, so they have to earn money to buy medicine for him!

We must not let him die from drinking without medicine!

....

"Humph! That Lin Jia must have known that what he did would make people criticize him, so he ran away early in the morning! I said he didn't have the face to wait for Dad to come back!"

While embroidering a purse, Yang spoke indignantly to Gu Yingxue, who was lying in bed recuperating from her injuries.

Gu Yingxue used to feel sweetness when she thought of Lin Zhixue, but now when she thinks of him, she only feels hatred and despair of not being able to avenge her great hatred.

She closed her eyes for a while before opening them:

"Sister-in-law, please don't mention that bastard anymore. The Lin family is an outsider and has no relatives in the village. Since they have all left and even the few tablets in his house have been moved away, it means they don't plan to come back. It's good this way. I will live a good life in the future and follow you to embroider purses and make lace to support my mother and me!"

Gu Yingxue opened her eyes and said with determination that she didn't want to die anymore. Yesterday she felt the strong desire to survive of the fetus in her belly, and she would definitely let her child be born safely!

Raise her up healthy!

From now on, she can survive as long as she works hard!

Old Mrs. Yin looked at her daughter who had already come to terms with her feelings and couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.

But she was afraid that Gu Yingxue would see her, so she quickly turned around and went out to feed the chickens and pigs and clean the yard.

Seeing the Lin family leaving triumphantly under the protection of their guards, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village felt both envious and jealous.

"This Lin family is really blessed by one man's success! Tsk tsk tsk ~"

"Humph! They are not good people! The Lin family are outsiders who came here to escape famine. Our village took them in because we felt sorry for them. But they just left like that without even thanking the villagers who helped them! Ugh!"

"Come on, if you want to thank someone, you should thank Gu Xiucai. You just helped them with a few wild vegetable dumplings, but Gu Xiucai took the trouble to help them learn and even gave them money to pay for their education!"

When talking about Gu Xiucai, the villagers couldn't help but sneer at him.

In the past, everyone respected Gu Xiucai very much when he was mentioned. Not to mention that he was the only scholar in the village, just the fact that he taught at a large academy in the provincial capital was enough to inspire awe!

But now that the Gu family has suffered such a big setback, the villagers suddenly feel that the once unattainable Gu Xiucai is no longer so high and mighty.

"Oh! This Gu Xiucai will probably be dumbfounded when he comes back at the end of the month!"

The villagers watched the excitement for a while and then went back to work. The women went up the mountain to see if they could dig some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, while the men went to the fields to see how the crops were growing.

After all, for them, the most important thing in the world is to be full!

Hey!

Many villagers couldn't help but look at the sky, hoping it would rain soon so that the crops could grow better this year. They had not had a harvest for two consecutive years. If they had no harvest again this year, they would have no chance of survival!

……

late at night.

Two men, one old and one young, knocked on the door of Gu's house. Yang woke up from her dream and thought that her sister-in-law was upset again, so she grabbed her clothes and rushed into Gu Yingxue's house!

Looking at her mother-in-law and sister-in-law who were still sleeping, Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"Oh my god, I'm really scared to death every day!"

The knocking on the door sounded again, louder than before. This time, Old Lady Yin was also awakened. Looking at her daughter lying there well, her pounding heart calmed down a little.

"Who is it? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

Old Mrs. Yin was a little suspicious and couldn't help but look at Yang and asked.

At this moment, a slightly old voice sounded:

"It's me, old lady. The boss and I are back. Open the door!"

When Mrs. Yin heard that it was her old man who came back, she quickly got out of bed and opened the door!

As soon as Yang heard her father-in-law's voice, she rushed to the door before old lady Yin and opened it quickly.

The moment she saw her husband, Yang, who was always carefree and had a loud voice, actually became shy and embarrassed, and said in a soft voice, "My husband is back."

Gu Yulang and Old Man Gu both had solemn expressions. After seeing Yang and Old Lady Yin, they looked at them carefully and saw that they looked a little haggard but had no external injuries. Only then did their expressions ease a little.

"Where's Yingxue?"

Gu Xiucai looked at Old Lady Yin and asked anxiously.

Gu Yulang also looked at his mother and wife nervously. The reason why he and his father came back late at night was because they knew about Lin Zhixue's ungrateful behavior.

My father rushed back overnight because he was worried that my sister would be depressed!

"Hey~, she is sleeping in the inner room. She is pregnant and injured..."

Before Old Lady Yin finished her words, Scholar Gu rushed into the house, followed closely by Gu Yulang.

When Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yin saw the father and son enter the house, they quickly locked the door and followed them in.

As soon as Gu Xiucai entered the room, he saw Gu Yingxue's face full of tears and a painful expression appeared on her usually serious and resolute face.

With red eyes, he held his daughter's hand, lowered his head and did not speak for a long time, but his slightly trembling shoulders revealed his inner pain.

"Dad! I'm going to find Lin Zhixue! I'm going to the capital to sue him!"

When Gu Yulang saw that his beautiful sister had been harmed like this, he, who always adhered to gentlemanly etiquette, became so angry that he started cursing!

"Boss, according to our law, if a woman sues her husband, she must be beaten with 30 sticks first. Your sister is weak and can't bear it at all! What's more, she is pregnant now."

Gu Xiucai stopped Gu Yulang.

"I'm the one who's going to sue! Not my sister! What does it have to do with my sister?"

Gu Yulang was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He was always gentle and polite, a typical scholar who would never swear at anyone, but he just kept cursing Lin Zhixue over and over again.

"Jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards", "Scholars have no sense of shame, they are like dogs and pigs in human clothing", "The mouse has a skin, but the man has no manners! If the man has no manners, why should he not die?!"

Gu Yingxue vaguely heard her elder brother showing off his knowledge in her sleep. She struggled to open her eyes and saw her father looking at her with red eyes!

As soon as she saw her father who loved her the most, the strength that Gu Yingxue had just mustered disappeared without a trace. She threw herself into her father's arms and cried breathlessly!

Gu Xiucai felt heartbroken as he looked at his daughter who was crying so hard. He patted her shoulder gently with his hand, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yingxue, it's all Dad's fault! Dad was blind and mistook a wolf for a gentleman! That's why you are in such trouble! It's all Dad's fault for not being able to judge people!"

Gu Xiucai's face was full of regret at this moment. He thought that his family had done a great favor to Lin Zhixue, and Lin Zhixue would definitely treat his daughter well!

It's his fault!

It was him who failed to find a good husband for his daughter!

He just doesn't know people well!

"Ouch! Yingxue, stop crying. You can't cry now."

As soon as Yang entered the room, she saw Gu Yingxue crying again and hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"You are not alone now. Don't be too sad. It's not good for the child!"

After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Gu Xiucai quickly wiped away Gu Yingxue's tears and said to her:

"Yingxue, don't cry. Dad is here. Dad will never let you suffer any grievances again!"
