Chapter III Urgent Tasks
No one knows how she fell into the water, and it is said that many people jumped in and couldn't catch it, and when it was almost dark, someone suddenly said that she found her on the other side of the lake.
Although the person was rescued, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. For most of the day, a child who didn't know the nature of the water fell into the water, and there was no sound, so many people were looking for it in the water, but the child appeared on the other side of the lake. This lake is a living water, but the current is not fast, and children often play here in the summer, and it is almost never heard of a child drowning, let alone falling into the water on the shore side, and can float to the other side.
That night, except for Chunxiao's sister and brother and grandmother, everyone didn't dare to approach her, after all, this matter was too evil.
She had heard about her grandmother's conjuring spirit many times, so when Harumoto repeated it again, her mind had already flown to nine heavens away. She didn't understand the previous doubts, and she didn't want to find answers, if she wrote her life into a book, she hoped that it would be through the history of the family rather than the supernatural story.
"Sister! You can't go to the lake anymore! Harumoto suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Promise my brother that you can't go again! β
"Okay." Seeing Harukoto's frightened expression, she knew in her heart that it was because she always fled and scared them when she couldn't accept the situation at first, so she nodded obediently.
She wasn't stupid enough to think she would be able to go back by jumping into the water, and even if she could, they watched twelve hours a day, and there was no chance to get close to the water. Listening to Chunyuan's tone that day, I thought it was someone from the Gu family who pushed her into the water, but now it seems that all this is her bad luck.
In this case, the top priority is how to overcome the hurdle in front of us.
She opened her mouth and was about to speak, when Chunxiao ran in with red eyes and rushed straight into the boudoir, and her aunt followed suit. She glanced at them hurriedly, and then followed Chunxiao's boudoir, where they were about to enter but were blocked by the little chubby girl who followed.
"My aunt speaks, you can't go in!"
Chunyuan was not convinced, but she was held back, in terms of body type, Chunyuan was by no means the opponent of the little chubby girl, but he was afraid that he would have to suffer at that time. Fortunately, my aunt's voice is not small, and they can hear it when they stand at the door.
"Chunxiao girl, I told you, if you want the Lin family to propose, I won't stop you, but I can't miss any of the thirty taels of dowry! If he doesn't, I can't let you marry you at seventeen or eighteen. The aunt lion opened her mouth.
I only heard Chunxiao crying: "Why don't you rob it!" β
"I'm doing this for your good, if he doesn't even have this little bit of money, what will he do to support you in the future. Besides, you three sisters and brothers eat me and live with me here, do you think thirty taels is enough? β
"My house is ......"
"By the way, I forgot not to mention it, the ten taels of silver that your father borrowed back then, even if I don't count the interest, your broken house is not worth ten taels."
She didn't know what the concept of thirty taels was here, but looking at Chunyuan Tieqing's face and clenched fists, she thought that her uncle's words should often be used to humiliate them. She held Harumoto tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, he would run in.
When encountering such a snobbish and fierce uncle, even if the Gu family didn't come to ask for a child daughter-in-law, I am afraid that she will be sold in a few years, after all, grandma can't protect them for a lifetime.
Thinking about it this way, the Gu family is actually not a bad choice. Thinking about how much she wished in her last life to arrange a marriage to end her more than 20 years of singleness, now it is as she wishes.
Chunxiao was speechless, buried her face in the quilt, and cried and shouted to her aunt to go out, but her aunt didn't embarrass her, and left after a few more words. When they entered, Chunxiao cried until her voice was almost hoarse, and when she saw them, she immediately pounced, and the sisters and brothers continued to cry loudly.
She couldn't cry, although she didn't feel very good in her heart, but there was no endless way, at least in her opinion, the Gu family was a good choice. When they finished crying, they looked at the sad expressions of the sisters and brothers, and sighed softly.
"Sister, I'm willing to go to the Gu family."
Whether it is for this sister and brother, or for herself, at present, she has decided to choose the Gu family.
Chunxiao was stunned for a moment, but Chunyuan reacted greatly, and immediately jumped up and grabbed her shoulder, "Sister, are you okay?" Did someone tell you something? β
Chunxiao was reminded at this time, "Sister is good, Sister Ah won't let people take you away, Sister Ah is fine." She thought that her sister didn't want her to be sad, and she was a little moved.
"Brother, isn't the Gu family good?" Listening to them, the Gu family is not only rich and powerful, but this little bully is also the only child. Even if she is a child daughter-in-law, it can be regarded as a main room, and if she has concubines and maids in the future, she will not be able to go over her head.
Now that she decided that she wanted to live here, she forced herself to adapt to the environment as soon as possible. If she goes to the Gu family, at the age of the little bully of the Gu family, she will still have time to train him to be a qualified husband. Even if she can't train herself, she can secretly save up her capital and find an opportunity to slip away later.
Otherwise, even if she has the ambition to run rampant in the world, as long as she has no money and power now, and with this small body, it will be difficult to get out of Yunshan.
"Gu family, Gu family......" was asked by his sister, Chunyuan was also speechless, he didn't know what the Gu family was, he only knew that it was a very rich family. But thinking that they were going to take his sister away, Chunyuan immediately insisted: "Well, the Gu family is not good, they are rich and powerful, they must be here to deceive you." β
She secretly rolled her eyes, and tricked her into being a little girl with no money, no power and no appearance to be a daughter-in-law, and the Gu family couldn't afford to marry. Thinking that Chunyuan was young after all, she looked at Chunxiao and said seriously: "How can my uncle explain?" At that time, Sister Ah and Lu, the Lin family can't afford to pay the bride price, and what should I do if my aunt refuses to let you marry? Seeing Chunxiao biting her lip and being embarrassed, she said again: "Wait for Sister Seventeen or Eighteen, what if my aunt thinks you are thinking about you and giving you to others?" β
In fact, she wanted to say that it was not impossible to sell Chunxiao as a concubine, and it was not impossible to be an uncle, after all, this was their only relative, and others couldn't speak.
As soon as these words came out, Chunxiao's face changed, as if he thought of this terrible result.
"No, no, grandma......" Saying something that didn't even believe herself, Chunxiao finally stopped, covered her face, and cried: "What should I do, woo woo......"
She didn't expect a fourteen-year-old girl to be so strong, her parents were dead, and she was sent to the fence with her younger siblings. Seeing that her aunt was embarrassed, her fiancΓ© couldn't do anything, and her sister was going to be snatched away, so if it was her, she probably had to choose to run away from home.
Either way, it's a stupid decision to run away from home.
Anyway, she can't decide on her background, so she has to choose her own starting point and live this life well.
