บท 13: Drawing Her Knife
บรรณาธิการ: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a few familiar people.
After thinking about it carefully, she found the identities of these people from her memories—Younger Aunt Gu's family.
Old Gu had four sons and two daughters. Among them, her father, Gu Dajiang, and Older Aunt Gu were born to the original wife. The second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, as well as Younger Aunt Gu, were born to Madam Zhao, the second wife.
Older Aunt Gu married in the neighboring village. Before escaping, Gu Dajiang had gone to look for them and asked their family to leave together. However, Older Aunt Gu could not let go of her eldest daughter, who was already married, and planned to be with her eldest daughter and son-in-law.
Younger Aunt Gu had married into town and her husband's family was quite well-off. She even had a small shop in town to support her livelihood and her family had a donkey cart. With such conditions, she was naturally even more unwilling to be with her maternal family, who only relied on their legs to walk.
What if they had to use her donkey cart along the way? What if they had no food and had to eat her family's food? Wouldn't she suffer a huge loss then?
As for Fourth Uncle Gu, he was only 18 years old this year and was not married yet. Moreover, when he was born, because he was too big and Mrs. Zhao was old, she had a difficult labor and almost miscarried. Moreover, she already had two biological sons before him, so he was not favored by Mrs. Zhao.
On the other hand, Father Gu and Older Aunt Gu, who had already grown up, had always taken care of him. Therefore, Fourth Uncle Gu actually had a better relationship with Father Gu and the others.
When Father Gu went missing on the way to escape, Fourth Uncle Gu took on the responsibility of taking care of their family. Because of this, Madam Zhao disliked him even more.
In order to prevent him from ruining things, Madam Zhao and the others deliberately sent Fourth Uncle Gu away and took the opportunity to chase her family away.
Therefore, only Second Uncle and Third Uncle were present at that time. She did not know what would happen when Fourth Uncle Gu returned.
However, Gu Yundong could not care too much. She still had to take care of Madam Yang and her brother and sister, so she could not spare too much energy to think about anything else.
However, she did not expect to meet Younger Aunt Gu at the city gate. The entire Gu family did not see her.
Younger Aunt Gu's maiden name was Gu Qiuyue. She probably felt too intense of a gaze and turned around and saw them. With just one look, she frowned.
Then, she rolled her eyes and looked around them. Perhaps because she did not see Old Gu and the others, she quickly turned her head away and pretended not to know them.
Gu Yundong scoffed. She did not want to acknowledge her either.
It was better to think about how to enter the city.
However, she wanted to live in peace without knowing each other, but the other party did not want to do as she wished.
Soon, a child walked over and stood in front of them. She raised his head slightly and said arrogantly, "My mother told you to leave quickly and not embarrass yourselves here. With your wretched appearance, it's impossible for you to be let into the city."
This little girl was Gu Qiuyue's daughter. She was seven years old this year. Because she lived in town, she had a sense of superiority since she was young, especially in front of Gu Yundong's family. Every time she went to the Gu family, she looked at them with disdain.
She rolled her eyes and finally looked at Gu Yundong. "But if you beg me, I can consider bringing you along. But you have to follow behind me as my maid and serve me tea and water. From now on, you have to serve me well. This way, I can give you half a coarse steamed bun every day."
It was obvious that she had added the last sentence herself. She had long wanted a maidservant to follow her. On the way, she had encountered people selling their children. Their words sounded very nice. They said that they could be beaten and scolded as you pleased as long as you gave them water to drink.
However, her parents said that it was not worth it to buy servants now. On the way, they would have to take care of other people's food and drinks. They would buy a servant for her when they reached the city.
Weren't they about to enter the city? There was already a perfect servant waiting for her here.
Gu Yundong looked at her smug expression and silently took out the knife in her sleeve…
