Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

"Or are you saying that the two weeks you spent lying down were all a lie, and you didn't need two weeks at all?"

As Lin Cai spoke, she narrowed her eyes dangerously and looked at the man in front of her.

Gu Zhan could tell from her expression that he was about to say something wrong, and he knew he would be in trouble if he said the wrong thing.

So he decided that it was better to back down first, since it was in front of her anyway, and it wasn't shameful to back down at all.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much! I didn't feel any pain before because I saw you. Now that you've said that, I feel the pain. But I really can't see a doctor for this. Should I ask someone else to take a look?"

"Who can help you take a look? We just moved here, and we don't know everyone. Who can we ask to take a look?"

She's really gone too far. She brought him back, but she can't even call a doctor. If he's left to recover like this, when will his wounds ever heal?

While Gu Dachui was changing his clothes, he took a look at the wounds on his body. There were dozens of wounds, big and small, with the flesh inside turned outwards!

Although it wasn't as serious as last time, these wounds are still not easy to heal. If we don't use some good medicine, they probably won't heal for ten days or half a month!

This person even said there was no need to call a doctor, but if we don't find a doctor, when will the injury ever heal?!

Gu Zhan said there was no need to see a doctor, so Lin Cai didn't send anyone. However, she still sent Gu Dachui to buy some medicine the next day.

With another person joining the family, there's definitely not enough space for them to live.

They could only squeeze a few girls together, while the three brothers shared one room.

As for that injured patient, he's in a bit of a special situation now, so he has a room to himself.

Actually, it wasn't completely separate; it was just a room with a curtain separating the three brothers on the left and Gu Zhan on the right.

When Aunt Ge learned that the Gu family had gained another member, she went to see him the next day. After seeing him, she whispered to Lin Cai, "Lin girl, tell me the truth, is this your lover?"

"Auntie, why would you ask that?"

That person had only been there for a day, how did Aunt Ge know?

"Of course I could tell. Look at the way that young man was looking at you just now, he was practically drooling. If he weren't your boyfriend, would he look at you like that?"

"I do know him. We knew each other back in our hometown, but we separated later. I thought it would be a while before we could see each other again, but I didn't expect..."

"Oh dear, you little rascal, see? I told you I was right, but what happened to his injuries?"

No sooner had she finished asking than Aunt Ge added, "Lin girl, don't blame me for asking so many questions, but your lover has injuries, so it's best to keep them a secret. Things haven't been peaceful around here for a while..."

"People with injuries, especially knife wounds, are usually taken away. Although I don't know the details of your lover's situation, I hope you..."

Although Aunt Ge didn't finish her sentence, the meaning behind it was already quite clear. After listening, Lin Cai stopped and looked at Aunt Ge.

"Auntie, can you tell me exactly what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ge immediately perked up. Few of the old women in the village disliked telling stories, especially those with gossip.

Then they heard Aunt Ge say, "This story goes back to when it snowed last year..."

It turns out that when it snowed last year, something happened in Linjiang City: a family was robbed, but the robbers took all the money and valuables without harming the people inside.

Everyone said it was done by someone they knew, but some people said that bandits had their eyes on their family and attacked them at night. But others said that if it really was bandits, why would they let their family go?

At that time, there were all sorts of speculations and theories, but none of them were ever confirmed.

Because they didn't know that the family was still alive because their daughter had been taken away, and the people who took their daughter said that she was beautiful and they wanted to take her back to be their wife.

Only their family knew about this; no one outside knew. Everyone thought they had only lost money, but they never expected that they had also lost a daughter.

But just over a month later, their daughter suddenly returned, and it was discovered that she was pregnant.

Seeing that their daughter had lost her innocence, the father wanted to kill her, but the mother refused. The old couple argued like this, and in the end, they made a cruel decision and poisoned each other.

One was trying to preserve the family's reputation, and the other was trying to protect their daughter. When the child learned that both her parents were dead, she was devastated.

She originally intended to abort her child, but when she thought of the child's father, she gave birth to the child and took the child back to the mountain.

Because the girl escaped with the help of others, everyone on the mountain was surprised when she returned.

When she announced that she was pregnant, the man who had brought her up the mountain was overjoyed. He picked her up, spun her around twice, and then made sure everyone on the mountain had a good meal.

But after that, the weather got colder and colder, and the man had to take his men out to rob and find food, and the girl's belly swelled up day by day.

Just as the Lunar New Year was approaching, something happened on the mountain. The people on the mountain, for some unknown reason, all fell into a deep sleep.

Only the girl and the man remained conscious. The man looked at the girl and asked, "Why? Why did you do this? Haven't I been good enough to you?"

"My parents are dead, you know? I don't have parents anymore, they're both dead, you know? I'll never have parents again..."

"I know, but you still have me, and you still have the baby in your belly. We are your family too!"

"No, you're not, you're not my family, you don't deserve to be my family, as for him..."

The girl looked at her stomach and suddenly laughed: "He's just like you, equally unworthy of being my family."

And so, right before the man's eyes, the girl used a dagger to open her belly and take out the child.

Upon witnessing this scene, the man instantly broke down and went mad. He held the woman's corpse and cried for an unknown amount of time. When he reappeared, he was at the Gao family residence in Linjiang City.
