Chapter 04: The Protection of the Little Girl

Su Wan: “Should I go to pay off the debt?”

“No, no, no.”

They waved their hands together. Who could have imagined that such a delicate and gentle woman could be so ruthless?

Who would dare to use her as collateral for the debt?

They lifted Liu Laoliu and ran away in a dejected manner.

“Hey? You don’t want the deposit anymore?” Su Wan caught up.

The companion, as if seeing a ghost, ran faster than rabbits and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Wan clicked her tongue. “Pathetic.”

She clapped her hands and turned around.

Mother Gu looked shocked, her jaw dropping, and stared at her in disbelief.

Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu’s mouths were wide open, as if they could fit an egg.

Gu Huaizhi had a calm expression, leaning against the door frame with a slender figure, looking composed without any emotions.

Upon closer inspection, the sharpness in his eyes seemed to want to cut out her soul and see through it.

Su Wan brushed away the stray hair on her forehead and smiled at them, “My grandfather was a general before he passed away. I learned a few moves from him when I was young, and I have never neglected them.”

Anyway, she had only been married into the Gu family for a month and had been refusing to communicate with anyone from the Gu family. Besides knowing that she was the eldest daughter of the Marquis family, Su Wan, they knew nothing else and let her talk nonsense.

Mother Gu came to her senses and looked at Su Wan with a strange look in her eyes.

She was a pampered young lady, and it was really unfair for her to marry into the Gu family.

When Mother Gu was a daughter-in-law, she was tortured and made things difficult by her mother-in-law.

So, she swore in her heart that when she became a mother-in-law in the future, she would love her daughter-in-law to death.

No matter how Su Wan acted up, Mother Gu could turn a blind eye and close one eye.

But selling children is no small matter.

“Come inside,” Mother Gu pulled the two children into the house.

Gu Huaizhi’s dark pupils were filled with a cold and sharp edge, and he looked at her with a stern look, as if he was settling accounts later, and then went back into the house with a cold face.

Su Wan pursed her lips and followed them to the main room.

…

They sat around the table.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy.

Mother Gu, with a stern face, asked, “Wanwan, do you want to sell the second child and the third child?”

“Yes,” Su Wan admitted straightforwardly. She didn’t like lying. And she was afraid of hurting Mother Gu’s heart, so she added, “I couldn’t accept the difference before, so I acted out and disappointed your genuine feelings.”

Mother Gu treated the original owner as her own daughter, and Su Wan couldn’t bear to deceive her about the original owner’s wrongdoings.

When she first arrived in this unfamiliar era, she didn’t know anything about the outside world. Staying in the Gu family and investigating the situation was the best choice for now.

After all, the Marquis’s Mansion was afraid that she would cause trouble when she returned to the capital, so they would definitely send someone to keep an eye on her.

Whatever Mother Gu decided, she would follow the arrangements and not have the face to stay in the Gu family.

In this lifetime, she prevented Gu Huaizhi from drinking poison, didn’t sell Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu, so Mother Gu wouldn’t die, and Gu Huaizhi wouldn’t turn evil and try to kill her.

As long as she stayed away from the male and female leads in the book, she could live anywhere she wanted and have a fulfilling life.

“Mother, sister-in-law didn’t want to sell me and second brother.” Gu Baozhu sat next to her mother, holding her thin little hand and gently tugging at her sleeve. “Our family is too poor to make ends meet, and big brother is very sick. I begged sister-in-law to sell me to a wealthy family as a maid and exchange the money for medicine for big brother. I can also receive a monthly allowance to support our family.”

Gu Baozhu really likes her beautiful sister-in-law and wants to get close to her, but her sister-in-law doesn’t like her.

When Gu Baozhu heard that her sister-in-law wanted to sell her and her second brother, she felt very sad and wronged.

Later, her sister-in-law said she wouldn’t sell them and scared the person away, and even smiled at them.

It was the first time Gu Baozhu saw her sister-in-law smile, and she looked even more beautiful than she had imagined.

“Mother, it was me who begged sister-in-law, please don’t blame her.”

Gu Baozhu didn’t want her sister-in-law to leave, as she was the wife that her eldest brother had worked so hard to marry.

Now that her sister-in-law knows that mother is treating her well, and they will try their best to treat her sister-in-law well in the future, she will definitely become better, right?
