A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off
Chapter 4: Marks Appear on the Wrist
Gu Changqing must be in a real bind right now. He had previously called me back to my room to talk about my embarrassing affair because he was afraid it would get out.
Now, thanks to that ugly man's outburst, the whole village knows what Zhao has done.
Gu Changqing has completely lost face in the village.
"You, Gu Changqing, if you hadn't begged me to marry my daughter to you, I would never have agreed to this marriage."
Now that my daughter is married to you, and you've passed the imperial examination and become a scholar, you want to divorce her. That's bad enough, but you even want to sell her! How cruel you are!
After Song Dashan learned the whole story from Hu Cuicui, he angrily snatched the wooden stick from Song Zidong's hand and rushed over to hit Gu Changqing twice.
Song Zidong saw that his father had snatched the wooden stick from his hand.
He wanted to turn back to the oxcart to get another stick, but Song Ziming grabbed his sleeve. "Brother, take this one. How dare you bully my sister like this! Brother, give him a good beating!"
After Song Ziming finished speaking, fearing that Song Zhili might be scared, he went over and took Song Zhili's hand. "Sister, don't be afraid. They bullied you. Father and Big Brother will definitely get justice for you!"
Holding Song Ziming's small hand, Song Zhili felt a warmth in her heart. She realized how wonderful it felt to be protected.
In her previous life, her parents were killed by enemies when she was young, and she was raised by her grandfather.
They are from an ancient martial arts family. Her grandfather was very strict with her from a young age and required her to learn a lot of things.
She felt like she was living like a puppet, and she couldn't feel any affection from her grandfather until he finally passed away. Song Zhili felt relieved.
I thought life would get better and better from now on, but I never expected to be transported here. Now I see the original owner's family seeking justice for her.
She secretly envied the original owner for having such a good family, but now that she was occupying someone else's body, she was very grateful.
So she secretly vowed in her heart that she would treat them all as her family from now on, and that she would definitely lead them to a good life.
"Stop it! Stop it now! What are you doing?"
An old but powerful voice came from behind the villagers.
Song Zhili turned her head toward the source of the sound and saw an elderly man with white hair walking over with a cane. The villagers who were watching made way for the old man.
The visitor was Gu Xi, the village chief of Yongfeng Village. He was very happy to hear that Gu Changqing had passed the imperial examination and was considering how to celebrate with him.
Then he heard from the villagers that something had happened to Gu Changqing's family, so he rushed over from his own home and saw the scene before him.
When he saw Gu Changqing being chased and beaten by Song Dashan and Song Zidong with sticks, he was terrified.
No matter what, he's a scholar now. What if something bad happens to him?
Song Zidong and Song Dashan also heard Gu Xi's words. They turned their heads and saw that it was the village chief of Yongfeng Village who had arrived, so they stopped what they were doing.
When Gu Xi walked into their courtyard and learned about their past, he looked at Song Zhili with pity.
However, the deed has already been done, and the reconciliation was entirely voluntary on both sides. The fact that Song Zhili was sold was not instigated by Gu Changqing.
Gu Xi had no choice but to step in and act as a peacemaker. He thought that this matter could be resolved peacefully, so he walked over to Song Dashan, pulled him aside, and whispered something to him.
“Da Ya’s father, you’ve already hit him and vented your anger, so why don’t you give me some face and let this matter rest?”
Besides, look at Gu Changqing now, he's passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. Who knows, he might climb the ranks and become an official. You mustn't offend him too much; what if he comes back for revenge later?
When Song Dashan made his move, he didn't think too much about it. But now, after hearing Gu Xi's words, he calmed down and realized that it was indeed true.
He glanced at Gu Changqing, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, with lingering fear, then turned back to the village chief and said.
"Alright, then let's just leave it at that."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to Song Zidong and patted him on the shoulder. "Dongzi, let's just let this matter go. Let's go back."
Upon hearing his father's words, Song Zidong threw away the wooden stick in his hand, glared fiercely at Gu Changqing, and then turned and left with Song Dashan.
When Zhao saw that Gu Changqing had been beaten so badly, and that Song Dashan and the others were about to leave, she instinctively wanted to go forward and stop them.
Just then, Old Man Wu, who was holding Gu Changning's hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally, stood in the middle of the courtyard and blocked Zhao's way.
When Song Zhili saw Song Dashan and Song Zidong come out together, she took Song Ziming's hand and turned to find Hu Cuicui. Together they left the crowd and came to the oxcart.
Seeing that Hu Cuicui had something to ask, and knowing this wasn't the place to talk, Song Dashan spoke up to remind her.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Everyone nodded and climbed onto the oxcart. Song Zidong cracked his whip, and they headed towards Peach Blossom Village.
On the oxcart, Song Dashan and Hu Cuicui would glance at Song Zhili every now and then.
Seeing that she kept her head down and didn't say anything, they assumed that Song Zhili was sad about this.
Hu Cuicui gave Song Dashan a series of winks, and finally Song Dashan shook his head. He then gently nudged Song Ziming beside him with his elbow.
Song Ziming looked up at Song Dashan and saw Song Dashan nod at Song Zhili. He immediately nodded in understanding.
So he stood up and switched places with Song Dashan, sitting next to Song Zhili. He reached out and took Song Zhili's hand.
"Sister, don't be sad. You still have us, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law, Grandma, and Grandpa. We're all behind you. Don't be sad, okay?"
"Yes, yes, Ziming is right. Daya, don't be sad. From now on, you can stay in our house and not go anywhere else. We will take care of you, and we will never let you suffer such injustice again."
Hearing their words, Song Zhili raised her head in confusion and looked at them.
Just now, she suddenly noticed a crescent-shaped mark on her wrist.
She was slightly stunned. In her previous life, she had a birthmark that looked exactly the same on her wrist.
She was completely baffled as to why such a mark would suddenly appear on her wrist.
Just as she was pondering this, she heard Hu Cuicui and Song Ziming comforting her.
She gave Song Ziming and Hu Cuicui a gentle smile. "Mother, little brother, I'm not sad because of him. Now that I'm divorced from him, I feel great."
