Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 528 The Ex-Wife in the Historical Fiction 27
Gu Lixuan's face darkened further, and he immediately wanted to turn around and argue with the villagers.
But just as he was about to turn around, He Sisi stopped him: "Lixuan, forget it, let's go back."
Gu Lixuan gritted his teeth inwardly.
That's true. What's the point of arguing with them? What they're saying is the truth. Arguing with them will only make you look foolish.
"Let's go."
The family continued walking, but when they passed the Lu family's house, they saw a car parked outside the Lu family's courtyard. It was Lu Yiheng who had come to deliver something to his uncle's family.
"Mom, look! It's a car!"
When Gu Lixuan and He Sisi's eldest daughter, Gu Nian, saw the car, she instinctively wanted to go up and touch it.
"Hey, Niannian, come back quickly, don't touch her!" He Sisi quickly pulled her daughter back.
Gu Lixuan glared at his daughter fiercely: "What's wrong with the car? You're so spineless!"
Gu Nian shrank back in fright, not knowing why her father had suddenly become even fiercer than her grandmother.
"Alright, Lixuan, Niannian is still young and doesn't understand anything. You should say less," He Sisi advised.
Just then, Lu Yiheng came out of his uncle's yard, spotted them, and glanced in their direction.
Gu Lixuan seemed to be stung by that glance and immediately looked away.
He felt that Lu Yiheng's gaze towards them was filled with disdain and mockery.
"Let's go home quickly."
Gu Lixuan said something, then lowered his head and hurried away.
He Sisi quickly took the child and chased after them.
Not only did they receive the news, but Gu Tianzhu and Wu Cuihong, the couple, also naturally found out about it.
Therefore, as soon as they returned, they were met with Wu Cuihong's nagging again.
"Why are you back before it's even dark? Are you all out working in the fields or just playing around? It's one thing to be worse off than others—not becoming an official or getting rich, but how come you're even slacking off at work? What sins have I committed to deserve a bunch of good-for-nothings like you..."
"Mom, just shut up!" Gu Lixuan shouted, unable to contain himself any longer.
Upon hearing this, Wu Cuihong was furious: "Fine, you think I talk too much? Did I say something wrong? This is outrageous!"
Gu Lixuan raised his hand and overturned the tables and chairs, causing chaos in the Gu family courtyard.
He Sisi went up to stop them and was slapped. The children were so frightened that they burst into tears.
It wasn't until midnight that the family finally calmed down.
He Sisi coaxed the child to sleep, went into the room and saw Gu Lixuan sitting by the window smoking. She went up to him, put her arm around his shoulder, and suddenly choked up and said, "Lixuan, let's go into the city together."
Gu Lixuan suddenly turned around and looked at He Sisi.
Actually, this wasn't the first time He Sisi had said this, but Gu Lixuan hadn't agreed the previous times.
Although He Sisi has given birth to several grandchildren for the Gu family in recent years, Wu Cuihong's attitude towards her remains terrible. Not only does she make her do all kinds of housework, but she also has to do farm work in the fields. Even when He Sisi was pregnant, Wu Cuihong couldn't stand her being idle.
Her children were also gossiped about in the village, with people always talking about how they were caught in bed with another man, making them ashamed to face their children in the village.
As news of the Qi family's wealth in the city spread, Gu Tianzhu and Wu Cuihong became even more displeased with them, and even felt that their son, Gu Lixuan, was a good-for-nothing.
Adding to what happened today, He Sisi simply couldn't take it anymore.
With red eyes, she pleaded, "Lixuan, let's leave here and go into the city."
Gu Lixuan had never agreed to He Sisi's requests before, but his thinking has gradually changed over the past few years.
He could pretend he didn't hear what the villagers were saying about him, but the way Lu Yiheng looked at him today really made Gu Lixuan feel extremely humiliated.
Furthermore, there's the envy and jealousy he refuses to confront deep down.
As people from the same village and of similar age, Gu Lixuan did not believe he was inferior to Lu Yiheng, nor was he willing to admit that his betrayal of Qi Ning and choice of He Sisi was a mistake.
Gu Lixuan hesitated and said, "But what if we don't have any jobs after we go to the city?"
"If you don't have a job, just look for one. If others can find one, why can't we?"
After a pause, He Sisi added, "Also, after we go to the city, maybe we can find my biological father."
Hearing He Sisi say this, Gu Lixuan finally made up his mind: "Okay, then let's go into the city together."
After Gu Lixuan and He Sisi decided to go to the city, the system quickly informed Qi Ning of the news.
“Host, Gu Lixuan and He Sisi know that you are doing well in the city, and they are envious and jealous, so they also want to come to the city.”
"Oh, they've come at the perfect time. We've been waiting for them."
Qi Ning was not surprised at all. In fact, her decision to have Qi Yang and Lu Yiheng go back to pick up Qi Datian and his wife in a high-profile manner was a way to lure Gu Lixuan and He Sisi into the city.
"Why, host?"
The system is a bit confusing.
“If you don’t deliberately provoke their jealousy, they probably won’t even come into the city. Then you don’t need to do anything at all. Even if He Sisi doesn’t come into the city, she still can’t recognize Wu Zhihua.”
“No,” Qi Ning said. “Even if it’s not because she’s jealous of us, because of Gu Lixuan’s parents and the environment in the village, He Sisi will want to leave the village and go to the city sooner or later. Besides, she’s always thinking about finding her biological father.”
"Instead of letting them not know when they will enter the city, we should take the initiative, make He Sisi give up on this idea completely, and cut off their path to recognizing each other as father and daughter."
"Not to mention, besides this mission, there's another mission to cripple Gu Lixuan's leg, which we can take care of all at once this time."
A few days after Qi Datian and his wife entered the city, Gu Lixuan and He Sisi also entered the city.
However, they did not enter the city alone.
In the five years that Qi Ning and Gu Lixuan left Shangge Village, Gu Lixuan and He Sisi had two more children, a son and a daughter, making a total of three children including their eldest daughter.
When they proposed to go to the city, Gu Lixuan's parents did not object, but they wanted to leave their beloved grandson behind and let Gu Lixuan and He Sisi bring their two daughters to the city.
However, He Sisi's son was too young and still needed to be breastfed, so he couldn't be separated from his mother. He Sisi absolutely refused to let her son stay in her hometown.
So the family had a big fight, and Gu Lixuan's parents then let the couple bring their three children to the city.
After they entered the city, Qi Ning had the system monitor their family's whereabouts.
Gu Lixuan soon found a job as a part-time worker in a factory, but he wasn't a permanent employee and his salary was ridiculously low.
He Sisi has to take care of three children and is too busy to find a job. She can only rely on Gu Lixuan to earn money to support the family. They also have to send money to their parents back home from time to time. Their lives are not easy and they can hardly stay there anymore.
Under these circumstances, Gu Lixuan and He Sisi's marital relationship was naturally fraught with conflict, with minor arguments every three days and major arguments every five days.
Seeing that the family was about to go hungry, He Sisi said to Gu Lixuan, "Why don't we try to ask Lu Yiheng and A Ning for help?"
