The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

In Cixi Town, Guo Ruo and Miss Guo were guarding the stall.

"My dear, where is your second sister? How come I haven't seen her for so long?"

The aunt who came to the stall for the first time really loved the duck blood vermicelli soup. She came to buy it every day. Maybe she hadn't seen Guo Xin for a long time, so she asked curiously.

Guo Ruo took over Guo Xin's position of cooking vermicelli, handed a bowl of vermicelli to her aunt, and said, "Second sister has been busy with farm work in the village recently, or she has gone to the city to be a cook for a nobleman."

"Cook?" the aunt exclaimed.

Guo Ruo was a little frightened by the sudden exclamation, so he said woodenly: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Auntie looked at the frightened Guo Ruo and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Nothing, I'm just a little surprised that someone from our small stall can go to the city to work as a cook. That's a great honor. I've lived here for so many years and this is the first time I've seen such a thing."

Mrs. Guo, who was selling Shengjian at the stall next to her, also agreed, "Of course she is. She is also a very nice person. She taught me all these secret recipes without reservation, which will help me to have a stable life in the future."

Auntie smiled and said, "If it were in a picture book, it would be a story of vows of love."

Madam Guo joked, "That's not true. It's a pity that they only have one young man who is still studying, so I can only repay them with my life. I will be their slave for the rest of my life."

"You're exaggerating. It's just a piece of cake." Guo Ruo looked at Madam Guo, fearing that she would really behave in such a self-deprecating way.

In the distance, several men hid in a corner and looked at Guo Ruo's stall.

The dark blue-clad man in the lead looked at Guo Ruo viciously and said through gritted teeth, "That man from last time hasn't appeared again, has he?"

"No, these days it's just those two young ladies. Occasionally there are men from the same village going back with them, that's all." said the man in linen clothes next to him.

"Then follow them closely today and follow their orders."

If it weren't for Guo Ruo and that man, why would I have ended up like this? I found my cousin Pei and wanted him to support me, but I didn't know what was wrong with that cousin. He ignored me and advised me to stop doing evil, find a job and be a good person.

Tsk, if he behaves as a good person, would he still be Zhang Wu?

It's all that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, I could still rely on my cousin Pei to live a comfortable life in Cixi Town, collecting protection fees, and everyone would be afraid of me, and the government wouldn't dare to provoke me.

As expected, the Master often said, only women and villains are difficult to raise.

Soon, all the goods at the stall were sold out, and the two packed up and headed back to the village.

"Sister Guo Ruo, you are living the best life in the village now, except for your conscienceless uncle's family and the head of the village.

Not only did Guo Xin open a workshop, she also worked as a cook for wealthy families. I heard that working as a cook for wealthy families can earn a lot, which is equivalent to the annual income of a village family. "

Guo Ruo had never thought that all these things could be calculated by Mrs. Guo. He thought that the news had spread all over the village. He kept in mind the principle that wealth should not be exposed, so he said, "How can there be so much? It's just that my parents blessed me, so I earned a little, just enough to live."

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that a carriage was getting closer and closer to them from behind.

Suddenly, Guo Ruo felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, probably because she had eaten cold steamed buns in the morning and hadn't eaten anything yet, so she said, "Madam Guo, wait a minute, my stomach really hurts."

After saying that, he jumped off the donkey cart, looked around to see that no one was approaching, and then found a haystack to squat down on.

"Go." Seeing Guo Ruo traveling alone, Zhang Wu thought to himself that this was a God-given opportunity that must not be missed. He made a gesture and whispered to his followers.

They rushed up from behind Guo Ruo, took out a piece of cloth and covered her mouth directly, and the remaining brothers tied Guo Ruo's hands and feet.

Guo Ruo was so frightened that she dared not speak. Her eyes were full of fear and her heart was beating like a drum. She struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were tied tightly and she could not move.

"Hehehe, young lady, do you still recognize me?" Zhang Wu looked at Guo Ruo with a sly smile and touched Guo Ruo's face.

He then pinched a piece of flesh and twisted it hard, saying with a vicious face: "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in such a situation. Today I will show you what happens if you offend me."

Guo Ruo gasped in pain, his expression grim.

"Brother, let me play after you're done playing." said a man in sackcloth clothes nearby.

Zhang Wu shook his head. He had no intention of playing in the haystack. The woman had a young lady waiting for him by the roadside. If the noise was too loud, the young lady would be attracted over here.

Although we men are not afraid of that weak woman, we still don't want to make a big fuss.

"Drag her back to the carriage and release her after a few days." Although Zhang Wu is a bad boy, he also knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive in Cixi Town for so many years and always have someone to help him clean up his mess.

It's not that he didn't listen to what his cousin Pei said, but he couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart, so he went to find this woman. However, he didn't dare to touch this person, so he just locked her up for a few days and threw her to the edge of a remote village.

As for whether this woman could survive in the remote village, that was none of his business.

If something goes wrong, how can it be blamed on him?

Seeing that Guo Ruo had not come out for such a long time, Mrs. Guo was a little worried that something might have happened. After all, there were still many snakes in the haystack.

When she was about five years old, she was squatting in a haystack and was bitten hard. It was her mother who found her and rushed her to the clinic for treatment. This is how she got to where she is today.

Thinking of this, he held a stick in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand, and hit the haystack with the sticks, alert for the appearance of snakes, while shouting Guo Xin's name.

When he heard that Madam Guo was looking for him, he kicked the haystack next to him hard, hoping that Madam Guo would find him.

When the man in sackcloth saw the young lady coming to look for Guo Ruo, he looked at Zhang Wu and said, "Boss, do we still need to drag her back to the carriage?"

Zhang Wu looked at Guo Ruo with a gloomy face and said viciously, "You are lucky this time! You'd better not tell anyone that I kidnapped you, otherwise I will spread the word that your reputation is ruined. Let's see who will have the better outcome."

After that, he called on his brothers to untie Guo Ruo's rope. Before leaving, he stared at her fiercely and warned her: "Think it through carefully!"

Guo Ruo shed two lines of tears, and she felt deeply powerless again. She had no ability to protect herself when facing danger. Since the separation of the family, she had always relied on Guo Xin.

At this time, Madam Guo also found Guo Ruo. She looked at Guo Ruo lying on the ground with messy hair, but she didn't say a word.

Worried, "Were you bitten by a snake?"

After saying that, he looked around for traces of the snake and looked Guo Xin up and down, but found no snake bites.

Guo Ruo said in a hoarse voice: "No, I just fell down and it seemed that I had no strength at all. I thought I was going to die here."

Madam Guo looked at Guo Ruo in confusion again. He didn't look like someone who had fallen, so she asked again, "Are you really okay?"
