Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 279: Marrying the Mountain God 01

The early morning sunlight shines through the thin clouds onto the fields and mountains. The grass leaves that can be seen everywhere on the roadside are pulled by the tips of the leaves by the crystal dewdrops, swaying back and forth, reflecting the golden sunlight that slowly illuminates the silent world.

In the quiet village at the foot of the mountain, smoke rises from the chimneys of a few hardworking families, the quaint farmhouses are shrouded in golden sunlight, and the occasional barking of dogs and crowing of chickens create a simple and distant dynamic rural landscape painting.

It would be more like it if we could ignore that destructive and rude female voice. ?

"Silly girl, are you deaf? Didn't you hear someone knocking on the door? Hurry up and open the door. You are so old, and you don't even know to get up and make breakfast at this hour? With such a lazy personality, you will bring shame to our Gu family when you marry into a husband's family. Oh, my poor grandpa, I miss him-----"

From the east room came Fang's rapid accusations, followed by the low voice of a middle-aged man's persuasion.

As soon as Gu Li opened her eyes, her body reflexively climbed up from the broken bed made of wooden boards, grabbed the neatly folded clothes at the end of the bed, put them on, opened the door and walked towards the courtyard gate.

There were three adobe houses with a thatched hut on the east and west sides. She had just walked out of one of the thatched huts.

The one who was shouting and yelling in the east room was Fang Meimei, the stepmother of the original Gu Li, while the one who was whispering and coaxing was the second Gu, Gu Jiande, who had a stepmother and became a stepfather.

Gu Li felt weak and achy all over. Thinking back carefully, it was not difficult to find that this body had taken on almost all the housework in the family. Especially during the autumn harvest a few days ago, after finishing the housework, she had to work in the fields with Gu Jiande.

But what she ate was the worst. Not only was it not as good as her stepsister brought over by her stepmother, but even the old sow at home ate thicker food than her!

She raised her hand and roughly tied her dry hair, which even her fingers couldn't comb, into a bun, and walked behind the courtyard gate.

It was hard to say which one was more worn out, the door panel of the courtyard gate or the bed panel on which she slept. Standing behind the door, Gu Li could almost see the outside clearly through the gap that was more than a finger wide.

Just one glance and Gu Li, who was in a listless state, broke out in cold sweat on his back.

There was clearly no one outside the door.

But the knocking on the door mixed with the cursing from the east room and did not stop.

"Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong" was very rhythmic, beating slowly and steadily, as if beating the drums for Fang's singing and scolding.

Gu Li looked up at the sky. It was broad daylight, how could the devil be so rampant?

She took two steps back in fright, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a flash of light at the threshold, vaguely casting a small shadow.

The shouting and cursing from the east room became more and more unpleasant. Gu Li felt that even if there was really a ghost outside the door, it would be better than facing the abuse from her stepmother.

Taking a deep breath, she unbolted the door.

If there really is a ghost, then she will drag everyone in the room into it!

The wooden door creaked open.

Gu Li's eyes widened.

The person standing outside the threshold was actually a weasel that was not much taller than the threshold?

Its small round eyes, like black beans, stared at Gu Li, and it stood on its hind legs like a human, with its front limbs drooping in front of its chest. Seeing that Gu Li seemed to be frightened by it, it actually clasped its front paws and bowed to Gu Li repeatedly.

Gu Li:-----

Somehow she was reminded of the proverb "the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken".

She is not a chicken. Gu Li gripped the short bolt tightly in her hand and took two steps back. Just when she was about to escape, the weasel leaned against the door frame with one claw pointing back at the ground.

There was also a squeaking sound coming from the mouth.

Gu Li gave a wary look.

Wow, there was a colorful pheasant on the ground.

Gu Li:-----

A weasel comes to visit with a chicken?

Even more ill-intentioned, okay!

"Take your chicken and go quickly!" Gu Li held up the door bolt and drove away the weasel that came to the door looking for a fight.

"Who are you talking to?" Annoyed, Fang came out of the main room and stretched her neck to look outside. "Who is here so early in the morning?"

Fang walked quickly, and in two or three steps she came over and waved away the annoying stepdaughter, "Ah, who sent the pheasant?"

When Gu Li looked back again, there was no trace of the weasel.

It slipped away so fast.

"Oh my, this pheasant is so fat. I'll pickle it and cook it when my grandfather comes back. Hehe!" Fang picked up the pheasant with its neck bitten off and looked around outside the yard. There was no one there.

Seeing her stepdaughter still standing there in a daze, she glared at her and said, "I'm telling you, don't go out and flirt with other men and ruin your sister's reputation. She's getting married in a few days!"

"I do not have."

"Then who sent this?" Fang looked as if she could see through her stepdaughter. She was sure that the chicken was sent by some young man in the village to please her stepdaughter. After all, although her stepdaughter didn't have much flesh on her body, she did have a pretty face.

Anyway, she didn't see the person who gave the chicken away, so this chicken was picked up by her, and she didn't care about anything else.

However, she still needs to be educated. After all, her child's reputation should not be ruined because of this burden.

Fang was too lazy to waste time talking to the burden, so she picked up the chicken and went to the kitchen, "What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to cook for you?"

Gu Li looked at the empty door again with lingering fear, and went to the kitchen, holding her empty stomach.

After breakfast was ready, Gu's father slowly came out from the east room. After preparing the pheasant, Fang took the porridge spoon from Gu Li's hand and skillfully scooped around the edge of the pot, scooping most of the corn kernels floating on the edge of the pot into the first bowl.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and call your sister to get up and have breakfast. Why are you standing there like an idiot? Is there nothing in your eyes?" Fang urged, tapping the coarse porcelain bowl with the porridge spoon twice.

Gu Li turned around resignedly, lowered her head and passed her blind father, then went to the west room to call her stepsister Gu Jixia to get up.

Gu Li's mother died of illness when Gu Li was seven years old. Three months later, Gu Jiande married the widow Fang, and her daughter, Ji Xia, came to the Gu family with Fang. Later, she was renamed Gu Jixia, who was only five months older than Gu Li.

When Fang first came into the family, she was not as arrogant as she is now. She could order Gu Li around and insult him openly. After all, Gu Li was still Gu Jiande's only bloodline at that time.

Later, Fang gave birth to a son for Gu Jiande and named him Gu Jiazu. Gu Li's status in this family instantly fell to the lowest level. She was even worse than the normal family members.

She was driven out of the west room and moved into a thatched house, while the west room was divided into two and given to Gu Jixia and her younger brother.

From then on, the four people living in the main house became a family, and she became the family's nanny, out of place.

When Gu Li returned to the kitchen, four bowls with different consistency had been placed there.

The bowl of corn porridge in front of Gu Jiande was the thickest, followed by the one next to Fang, which also had two pieces of sweet potatoes in it.

The bowl at the very edge that reflects a person's reflection is Gu Li's.
