Chapter 02 : If a men doesn’t listen, just give him a beating

Gu Huaizhi has well-defined eyebrows and a lean jawline, with a pair of fierce eyes that look cold and gloomy.

Su Wan swallowed her saliva, always feeling like he wanted to strangle her.

In fact, Gu Huaizhi’s appearance is very good, probably due to his sickly pale complexion, so the whole person exudes a gloomy aura.

Especially these eyes are exceptionally beautiful, if they weren’t so cold, so fierce, and even so disdainful staring at her.

“The medicine you’re taking has gone bad, it won’t cure your illness, and it might even be poisonous.”

Su Wan thought to herself that she didn’t harm him, nor did she sell out his siblings, why would he be so wary of her?

If it came down to a fight, Gu Huaizhi, this sickly young man, might not be able to beat her.

Suddenly realizing that the original owner couldn’t have spoken so nicely, she was afraid of being exposed, and that Gu Huaizhi had noticed the change in her attitude, she imitated the original owner’s tone and sneered, “Although you don’t look like you’ll live long, try to live as long as possible. I don’t want to be a widow at such a young age.”

Su Wan thought about the book, Gu Huaizhi lived longer than her, and she felt a sudden sense of frustration.

The veins on Gu Huaizhi’s forehead twitched, he tightly pursed his thin lips, and glanced at the medicine soup on the ground.

“What are you looking at? Isn’t it just some spilled medicine?” Su Wan, imitating the original owner’s expression, disdainfully glanced at Gu Huaizhi, and said arrogantly, “I can just buy you some good medicine to compensate.”

The corner of Gu Huaizhi’s lips twitched, showing a hint of mockery.

As if saying she was bragging.

Su Wan was provoked and reached into her sleeve, preparing to take out some silver to slap Gu Huaizhi in the face.

Both sleeves were empty, not to mention a handful of money, there wasn’t even a single copper coin.

Later, she realized that when she married into the Gu family, she didn’t even have a copper coin as dowry!

Su Wan was embarrassed and wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Mother Gu brought a broom and dustpan from the kitchen to clean up the broken pieces of the bowl, while advising Gu Huaizhi, “Alright, what’s the big deal? It’s just a spilled bowl of medicine. Wanwan didn’t do it on purpose, she’s afraid you might get a stomachache.”

Su Wan was stunned. Mother Gu was a top-notch character in the book, known for being fierce. She had a round waist and thick arms, with a face full of deep wrinkles, looking very difficult to deal with. Despite being only in her forties, her hair was white, making her look like a woman in her fifties or sixties.

Mother Gu was very protective. In the book, she treated the original owner very well, even willing to starve her own children to feed the original owner. However, the original owner did not appreciate it, thinking that Mother Gu was trying to flatter her and climb the social ladder by associating with the Marquis’s family.

“Every night, don’t pay attention to him. If he disrespects you, just give him a beating. Men like him are the worst.” Mother Gu gave Su Wan a somewhat friendly smile.

Facing the kind Mother Gu, Su Wan felt at a loss, both guilty and embarrassed.

Gu Huaizhi had a cold expression, coughed a few times in a low voice, stood up, and prepared to go back to the room.

“Mother! Mother! The traffickers are here! They want to take me and my sister!”

The second child Gu Jingyun ran into the room, his pale and thin face filled with panic.

The third child Gu Baozhu held onto Mother Gu’s clothes, her voice trembling: “Mother, the traffickers are chasing us, what should we do?”

“What are you afraid of? Mother will protect you!”

Mother Gu hugged the two children behind her and was about to go out.

“Su Wan, get out here quickly! You’ve taken my deposit, but the two kids haven’t been sent to me today. What’s going on? You’ve cheated, and did you try to deceive me now?”

The traffickers outside threatened: “If you don’t hand over the children today, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Everyone in the room stared at Su Wan.

Su Wan was confused, when did she take a deposit?

She suddenly remembered that the original owner had no money, so she took a deposit first, bought arsenic to poison Gu Huaizhi, and agreed to send the two children to the traffickers today.
