Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Xu Fengjuan was originally a girl from the village.

When she was able to marry Gu Qingsong's father, she was the envy of everyone, and she thought she had become a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Unexpectedly, the good days didn't last long before the Gu family collapsed.

Xu Fengjuan was an exceptionally pragmatic and shrewd person.

Seeing that things were not going well, she immediately abandoned her son and, with the help of her family, remarried to Li Yongfa, a widower in the village who had a daughter.

Originally, the matter would have ended after she remarried.

Xu Fengjuan was originally from the village, and her family had a strong presence there. Now that she had remarried, no one would target her anymore.

But Xu Fengjuan was not content with living a low-key life. She not only wanted to live a good life, but also to have a good reputation and be praised by everyone.

Therefore, after Xu Fengjuan married Li Yongfa, whenever the villagers had any activities targeting the Gu family grandfather and grandson, she would always be the first to rush to the scene.

Not only was he exceptionally kind to his stepdaughter Li Meihong, but he also turned around and trampled his own son Gu Qingsong into the mud.

Gu Qingsong was so hungry that he dug up grass roots to eat, and he and his grandfather were both tormented to the point of near death.

Xu Fengjuan, however, only cared about using her private savings to make new clothes and buy delicious food for her stepdaughter.

Finally, her secret stash of money was gone, and her stepdaughter didn't want to wear her old cotton-padded jacket for the New Year.

Xu Fengjuan couldn't raise enough money, so she even reported to her superiors that Grandpa Gu was hiding gold bars, all in order to get the reward from above so she could make a new cotton-padded jacket for her stepdaughter.

Fortunately, Grandpa Gu had already seen through Xu Fengjuan's true nature. Although he didn't stop her from remarrying and living a better life, he took precautions.

After Xu Fengjuan married Li Yongfa, she moved the gold bars in advance and buried them in a hidden place.

Although no gold bars were found in the end, Grandpa Gu was also severely beaten for protecting Gu Qingsong.

The gold bars were not found, and Xu Fengjuan not only did not receive a reward, but also received criticism from her superiors.

Enraged, Xu Fengjuan came to the Gu family's house and caused a scene, even throwing ice water on the grandfather and grandson.

Grandpa Gu was already seriously injured, lacking medical care and medicine, and had no food, so his body was extremely weak.

In the dead of winter, lying in bed, I was doused with a basin of ice water from head to toe, and there were no extra blankets to change into.

Even though Gu Qingsong immediately helped wipe away the water and lit a fire to keep warm, they still couldn't make it through.

He passed away on the night before Lunar New Year's Eve.

Before he passed away, the thing that Grandpa Gu was most worried about was his youngest grandson.

Gu Qingsong was too young. After the family tragedy, the warmth and peace he once had were torn apart, and his personality became very extreme, filled with resentment.

Grandpa Gu was worried that while he was alive, he could still keep his grandson in check, but after he died, his grandson would go astray.

Ultimately, in destroying others, one also destroys oneself.

Before he died, he not only told his grandson the location where the gold bars were buried, but also forced him to promise not to take revenge.

When faced with difficulties, be patient and bide your time, and grow up well.

That year, Gu Qingsong was ten years old.

At the time, he didn't understand why his grandfather wanted him to do this, but he suppressed his inner rage and obediently did what his grandfather wished.

But as he grew older, he gradually came to understand his grandfather's good intentions.

Grandpa just wanted him to live as long as possible.

When Gu Qingsong recounted these past events to Lin An'an, he maintained a nonchalant attitude, but Lin An'an knew that his heart was far from as calm as he appeared.

Lin An'an rarely dislikes someone based on their one-sided opinions, but Xu Fengjuan's behavior truly disgusted her.
