The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny
Chapter 48 Farce
When Mrs. Guo heard that Guo Xin wanted her two acres of fertile land, her eyes widened instantly. That was the root of their family, and it was just being taken away like that?
He pointed at Guo Xin and trembled, saying, "You! You, you."
Before he could finish his words, he fainted from anger.
Uncle Guo was kneeling by the side. When he saw Aunt Guo fall to the ground, he immediately shouted, "You unfilial niece, you are trying to kill your aunt! You will be punished by God!"
When the village chief saw this situation, he shouted, "Is Barefoot here? Hurry up and ask him to save people!"
If this kind of anger attack is not treated in time, it can be fatal. Some time ago, during the famine, tax collectors came to the village to collect taxes, and many villagers died from anger attacks.
An old man with a goatee pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, looked at Guo Bo Niang's eyes, felt her pulse, pressed the Ren Zhong acupuncture point with his thumb, and saw her slowly open her eyes, so he said, "It's nothing serious, just drink some hot tea later."
Uncle Guo seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Village head, village head, what this unfilial niece Guo Xin said cannot be taken seriously. That is the best land in my family. If she takes it away, how will we live in the next life?"
Guo Xin glanced at him calmly and said, "Uncle, do you still want to be driven out of the village? If so, I have no objection."
"Okay!" The village chief slapped the table hard.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the villagers who were whispering below looked at the village chief and the head of the village, knowing that the verdict of the trial was about to be announced.
Although they hated Dagui's family, they had to admit that if they were driven out of the village, the family would probably not be able to survive.
If I go to another village, I don’t know what kind of disaster I will commit. If I ruin the reputation of the village, it will be difficult for the brothers and sisters in the village to get married in the future.
So after much thought, I think Guo Xin's method is much better. If the good farmland is taken away, the family will only have to worry about their livelihood and will not continue to make trouble in the village.
The village chief continued, "Girl Guo Xin's suggestion is very good. Your family has caused trouble, and they are very tolerant of you by not asking to drive you out of the village.
Moreover, when you divided the family property, you didn't give anything to this girl's family. Guo Er has worked like a slave for your family for so many years. Giving the land to this girl now can be considered as compensation.
Also, destroy these dolls in front of the villagers and live in peace from now on."
Uncle Guo suddenly collapsed to the ground. He hated himself for being so stupid. Just because of a moment of anger, he ruined his family's livelihood.
At that time, in order to buy the witchcraft and take revenge on this family, he sold the jade pendant that Guo Er brought with him when he was a child. Because he was in a hurry to sell it, he was asked to lower the price a lot, and he only sold it for no more than fifty taels of silver.
It's obvious that the jade pendant is worth more than fifty taels. Such a warm and smooth jade pendant must be worth at least a hundred taels!
In a daze, he destroyed the puppet in front of everyone and vowed never to touch this witchcraft again.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Guo Xin stood aside and looked at the family, sighing at the various aspects of life.
A few months ago, this group of people were still bullying my family. My parents committed suicide because they refused to help them. But now, the situation has changed and I have become the rich man in the village, while my uncle's family has become the rats crossing the street that everyone in the village wants to beat because of witchcraft.
Uncle Guo looked up at Guo Xin who was standing beside him. The girl was only fourteen years old, but she exuded an aristocratic temperament. She looked down at him, just like Guo Er who had just been brought back.
Thinking of what had just happened, he hated her very much, but asked weakly: "What else do you want to do? I've given you the only two acres of good land. You don't care about the remaining few acres of poor land, do you?"
Looking at his uncle who still didn't repent, Guo Xin smiled helplessly. It was indeed impossible to expect these shameless people to understand morality. "My father is not my grandparents' biological son, so when he was brought here, he must have had a token of love, a jade pendant or something?"
Guo Bo's mother gathered a group of children aside. When they heard this, they were afraid that the fact that their family had sold the jade pendant would be revealed. At the beginning, their parents said that no matter how poor the family was, they must never sell the jade pendant. If Guo Er's parents came to look for them in the future, handing over the jade pendant would guarantee their wealth.
His face turned red with anxiety, and he said, "We have never seen any tokens. My parents only said that when Guo Er came, he was wearing silk clothes and some gold bracelets. In order to conceal his identity, they all sold them. Otherwise, how could we live until now?"
Guo Xin looked at the family's faces and realized that they really still had the jade pendant, but it must have been sold or lost. In any case, it was not in their hands.
I had no choice but to scare them: "Then you better live well and don't get into any trouble, otherwise the children you leave behind will have a hard time."
If my father's biological parents are found in the future, we might have to move the grave. But now there is no physical evidence, so we can only use human evidence. So the family must be alive and well and cannot die.
When Mrs. Guo heard this, she hugged her children even tighter and stared at Guo Xin with bloodshot eyes.
The guess she had been having in her mind was finally confirmed today. This Guo Xin must have had a new soul. She was nothing like the previous Erya. No wonder the voodoo doll had no effect on her.
……
When Guo Xin returned home, the farce in the village also reached the ears of Guo Ruo and Guo Zhi.
"Sister, Dad is really not grandma's biological son? Isn't uncle also my biological uncle?" Guo Zhi looked at Guo Xin eagerly, seeking an answer.
Guo Xin touched Guo Zhi's head and said, "No, everyone in the village has known about it for a long time, but they just made it public today."
When Guo Zhi heard this, she jumped for joy, her little feet running around the house: "That's great! Then we really don't have to be nice to uncle's family in the future, no matter how they live!"
Guo Zhi has always felt resentful about what her uncle's family did, but due to the filial piety instilled in her by her parents since childhood, although she strongly disagreed, she had never dared to resist. Now that she knows that her uncle is not her biological uncle, the shackles on her body have automatically been removed.
"There are so many people in my uncle's family. If we take away their two acres of good land, will they still be able to survive?"
Guo Ruo asked, she had complicated feelings towards her uncle's family. When she was a child, she was always bullied by her uncle's children. Her grandmother favored her cousins and blamed her.
But she still had to do housework, so she worked while wiping away her tears. When her parents came home after finishing their farm work, they just told her to be more patient and did not help her.
Later, as it happened many times, I just accepted it and would not get angry or sad every time I was bullied. Instead, I would make excuses for my cousins.
Over time, I began to both fear and respect my uncle's family.
At the moment, in this situation, it is difficult to get rid of this mental dilemma, and I turned to consider my uncle's family.
Guo Xin looked at Guo Ruo in disbelief. She knew that her elder sister's mind had been poisoned for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be poisoned to this extent. She said, "Sister, they deserve this. You shouldn't still think about them. But I promise that they won't starve to death."
When Guo Ruo heard Guo Xin say this, he didn't know what to say. After all, Guo Xin was the one earning money at home now, and he was just helping out, which was nothing.
Guo Xin looked at Guo Ruo's expression and made up his mind to change Guo Ruo's mind, otherwise such thoughts would only harm his family.
But how could a sixteen-year-old girl who had already formed a fixed mindset be so easy to change?
