Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Gu Zhen moved quickly and it didn’t take him long to reach the outside of the Shi family’s yard.

The Shi family's yard was pitch black. Gu Zhen held his breath and listened for a long time, but didn't hear any movement.

But in order to let his sister see his mother again, Gu Zhen had nothing to worry about and started banging on the door.

Soon, with the increasingly rapid knocks on the door, there was finally a noise in the Shi family's yard, and after a while a faint light moved in the yard.

"Who is this? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night? Are you looking for death?"

The impatient voice of the eldest brother of the Shi family came from inside the courtyard gate. In order to avoid being mistaken for a bad guy, Gu Zhen responded immediately.

"It's me, Gu Zhen. I'm here to look for my sister. Our mother will be buried tomorrow. As her daughter, I have to see her off to the last time."

When Shi Jiacheng heard that the person outside the door was Gu Zhen, he didn't dare to open the door, especially since he knew the purpose of Gu Zhen's visit, how could he let his wife go out?

Three days ago, Shi's mother heard that Shi Xiaoman had done a good deed and was rewarded with a lot of good things by the commune, and also received 50 yuan.

The old mother of the Shi family coveted those things and money, but was afraid that if she went against Gu Zhen, she would not get anything good, so she thought of sending her daughter-in-law back to her parents' home to beg for money.

After Gu Xiang married into the Shi family, although life was hard, Shi Jiacheng loved his wife and was sweet-talker. Gu Xiang felt that as long as she was not scolded by her mother-in-law, nothing could be better than now.

After all, before I got married, and before my parents had any accidents, any good things were always divided equally among the four children, which seemed very fair.

But because Gu Xiang is the second child in the family, her parents are relieved because her older brother, Gu Zhen, is capable, and her younger siblings are still young and need more care, so she, who is neither here nor there, is often ignored.

But in the Shi family, Shi Jiacheng would silently care about her.

I would secretly hide boiled eggs and feed them to her at night when everyone was asleep.

Whenever she was scolded by Shi's mother, Shi Jiacheng would deliberately change the subject and favor her.

Gu Xiang felt that it was a good feeling to be remembered by someone, and she didn’t want to lose it.

This time, she was arranged by her mother-in-law to go back to her parents' home to get something. She thought that she came from the Gu family, and as a daughter, it was normal for her to go back to her parents' home to ask for something.

Even if those good things belong to my sister-in-law, she is also the daughter of the Shi family. It is reasonable for her to subsidize her parents' family.

Anyway, after Gu Xiang agreed to this matter, she never thought that she would not get what she wanted.

But considering that she was a married daughter returning to her parents' home without bringing anything, she couldn't bear to see it, so she brought a pile of dry straw from home.

Shi Jiacheng knew that Gu Xiang went back to her parents' home to ask for something.

After all, Gu Xiang went back to her parents' home and brought back more than 30 -ounce pancakes.

No one knew how the filling of the pancake was prepared, but Shi Jiacheng just felt that it was the most delicious pancake he had ever eaten.

Although it was not a rare thing, everyone enjoyed eating it.

But as Gu Xiang's bedmate, he still found that Gu Xiang became much quieter after returning from her mother's home, especially after the news of Gu's mother's death came out.

Gu Xiang hid in the house and cried all day, and even when Shi's mother asked her to work, she ignored her.

Shi Jiacheng felt sorry for his wife and didn't want to see Gu Xiang sad. He originally wanted to accompany Gu Xiang back to attend the funeral, but he didn't expect Gu Xiang to directly refuse.

He asked why, but Gu Xiang didn't answer.

Now that Gu Zhen has come, Shi Jiacheng doesn't dare to hand him over. He always feels that Gu's mother's death is related to his wife.

"No, no, Ah Xiang is now a member of our family. Funerals are unlucky, so we won't go. We don't want to bring bad luck to our family."

Shi Jiacheng kept talking about "bad luck", which made Gu Zhen very angry, but Gu Zhen still had some rationality. He knew that this was someone else's home and he couldn't force the door, so he could only speak louder.

"Even if Ah Xiang marries into the Shi family, it cannot change the fact that she is my sister. Since she is my sister, she should see our mother off."

"Unless she tells me that she doesn't want to go and doesn't want to acknowledge me as her brother, then I will just assume that this person doesn't exist in our Gu family."

"Just treat this married daughter as spilled water. Never mind."

Gu Zhen spoke in a decisive tone on purpose, just to force Gu Xiang out.

Gu Zhen didn't believe that Gu Xiang didn't hear what he said.

His voice was so loud that the two families next to the Shi family had already come out in cotton-padded jackets to investigate the situation, and Gu Xiang must have heard it too.

"Gu Xiang, Ah Xiang!"

Gu Zhen shouted twice towards the gap in the courtyard gate.

Hearing Gu Zhen's shouting, Gu Xiang, who had already walked to Shi Jiacheng's side, trembled, then reached out and grabbed Shi Jiacheng's arm, and her voice was thin and trembling when she spoke.

"Brother Jiacheng, I don't want to go, help me drive him away!"

Shi Jiacheng held the trembling Gu Xiang in his arms and hurriedly helped to pass on the message.

"Gu Zhen, Ah Xiang said she is not going, so you should leave quickly and don't disturb our rest."
