I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gu Yongming didn't know why Gu Wenxuan was so sure, but Gu Wenxuan's frank expression of "If you don't believe it, I can even swear an oath" successfully calmed Gu Yongming.

He let out a long sigh, "Then I won't interfere with your decision to become your disciple. But you and Jingzhou, don't make such an important decision without telling your family members in the future like you did this time."

Gu Wenxuan nodded. Whether it can be done or not is another matter. Anyway, she agreed first. The main point is that you say yours and I do mine.

Gu Yongming didn't know that his originally well-behaved and obedient daughter had changed into a rebellious person. When he saw that she agreed, the anger in Gu Yongming's heart was mostly dissipated.

He said, "If you want to go out in the future, just go out openly. Don't rack your brains to find excuses to deceive your family."

Gu Wenxuan touched her nose a little embarrassedly, "Well, I'm not lying to my family, am I?"

She did dig wild vegetables, collect firewood, and go to town, but she kept her martial arts training and hunting a secret.

As for the fabrication of a master and grandmaster, this happened today and has nothing to do with the past few days.

Gu Yongming rubbed his forehead helplessly. Jia Guizhi, who had overheard their conversation, glared at her daughter without any hesitation.

Ever since the little girl saw blood, her courage has become visibly stronger. If she hadn't been engaged and a grown-up girl, Jia Guizhi would have slapped her twice by now.

Gu Wenxuan responded to Jia Guizhi with a sweet smile, pretending not to notice Jia Guizhi glaring at her to express her dissatisfaction.

The existence of "Master" made her life clear, and she also got back the right to go out freely. Today was a perfect day for her. She didn't mind at all letting her mother glare at her to vent her anger.

Unlike her, who had to work hard to get her family to accept the established facts, Bai Jingzhou only took out a few prescriptions mysteriously, and Bai Chong, who was obsessed with medicine, accepted the fact that his son had a new "master" without any obstacles.

His mother Ning Cuizhi expressed similar doubts to Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi, but with Bai Chong, who had unprecedentedly clear ideas, helping her speak, Bai Jingzhou didn't even have a chance to use his eloquent tongue, as his mother had already been appeased by his father.

Early the next morning, Gu Wenxuan saw Bai Jingzhou, who had brought his younger brothers and sisters to practice martial arts in the open space outside her house.

As soon as the two met, Bai Jingzhou used his eyes to ask Gu Wenxuan about the developments of yesterday.

Gu Wenxuan nodded slightly at him, with only joy and relief on her face.

Bai Jingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Great, they can finally move freely.

Gu Wenxuan also thought so. If it weren't for taking Jia Guizhi's feelings into consideration, she would have rushed to the deep mountains next to Jiajia Village today to get some more valuable herbs and prey.

Jiajia Village is the village where Gu Wenxuan's mother Jia Guizhi was born and grew up. Not only do her grandparents still live in that village, but during the slack season, Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi, and Gu Wenxuan go hunting in the mountains together, and they basically go to the mountains around the village.

Jia Guizhi is the only daughter in the family, with no sisters or brothers. So except for the busy farming season and the rare times of bad weather, Jia Guizhi would return to Jiajia Village every ten days or half a month, on the one hand to visit her parents, and on the other hand to go hunting in the mountains to supplement the family income.

Gu Yongming went with her almost every time, and Gu Wenxuan also went almost every time since she was eleven years old.

They were all quite skilled and cooperated well with each other, and although they still had to avoid large beasts like wolves, tigers, bears, and leopards, they were still able to capture lone wild boars, wild sheep, and the like without any harm.

Occasionally, Father and Mother Jia would go into the mountains with them. Both of them were martial artists, and even though they were over fifty years old, they were still very strong.

If Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming were not there, the old couple would not go into the mountains for the sake of caution. However, even if they just hunted pheasants and rabbits on the small hills around the village, the gains were enough for them to support themselves and their granddaughter.

Yes, the old couple also has an adopted granddaughter.

The little girl's name was Jia Yuelan. She was an orphan picked up by Jia's father from among the refugees who had migrated south on a large scale six years ago to escape the war.

Her parents died on the way to escape, and her grandparents and uncles were unwilling to raise a little girl who was only three or four years old and was a hindrance to their family, so they cruelly drove her away and did not allow the little girl to continue to follow them.

The little girl had short legs and was easily left behind by the adults in the family.

In order to avoid being caught and eaten, and to have something to eat in the future, she tearfully went from house to house on the official road asking if anyone was willing to adopt her.

Father Jia went to the county town with the villagers to sell the game. On the way back home, he happened to hear the little girl promoting herself in a tender and crying voice, "I eat very little, and I can eat even less in the future. I can wash clothes, cook, clean the house, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, raise chickens and ducks, cut grass for pigs, and dig wild vegetables..."

The little girl's tenacious struggle for survival made Jia's father think of himself.

He was also an orphan. When he was about to starve to death, he was on guard against someone catching him and eating him, while begging others to give him something to eat.

It was his father-in-law who drove away the refugees who wanted to cook and eat him, saved his life, and brought him back to his own home.

He learned martial arts from his father-in-law since he was a child. When he grew up, it was natural for him to marry into the family and marry the only daughter of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who was Gu Wenxuan's grandmother.

If it weren't for his father-in-law, he would have been tied up and thrown into the pot by those starving refugees.

They were both skinny and short, and both were trapped in desperate situations but refused to give up. The strong emotional resonance that little figure brought to him made it impossible for him to just walk away silently like the other people in the village.

The old man ignored his companions' attempts to stop him and stubbornly took the little girl back to his home.

After hearing her husband talk about the little girl's situation, Jia's mother knew that her husband saw his own shadow in the child, so she kept the child at home without saying a word and raised her as her own granddaughter.

The aunts and uncles in Jiajia Village all advised her not to be confused. In their words, since you are going to rely on your daughter and husband for support in your old age, then all the family assets you have accumulated for most of your life should belong to your daughter and husband. Now you have brought back a little girl who has no relatives or friends to raise. How can your daughter and husband not have any objections?

Of course, Grandmother Jia had also considered this issue, but she believed in her daughter and also believed in her own son-in-law, whom she and Father Jia had watched grow up and had taught carefully.
