After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 5 Mrs. Gu

“Old man, what did you say?” Mrs. Gu asked loudly.

Dad Gu, who has been confused for a long time, has always had the problem of slurring his speech, but this time it was particularly clear: "Nanny, my daughter."

The expressions of the three Gu brothers also became strange.

Obviously, this name is not unfamiliar to them.

Nannan is the youngest daughter of the Gu family who died young. The old couple loved this daughter very much, but unfortunately the child died of illness when she was five years old.

Chen Chunhua came in early and vaguely knew something about it. She immediately said: "Mom, dad has admitted the wrong person! How long has dad been confused? Don't listen to him. This is not..."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand to interrupt her and said, "Boss, wife, it's not your turn to be the head of this family yet."

Chen Chunhua had no choice but to shut up.

Mrs. Gu turned to look at Niuniu who was hiding behind Zhang Yunniang, and said, "Let this child come over, and I will take a good look at her."

Zhang Yunniang glanced at her husband in confusion. Gu Mingda nodded to her, squatted down, and said warmly to Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, be good, let's go over and let grandma take a good look at you."

Niu Niu nodded obediently. Her uncle was her aunt's husband and had always been very kind to her. Although Grandma Gu looked fierce, she still mustered up the courage to walk over with her short legs for her aunt and uncle.

Mrs. Gu had always disliked the Zhang family, and rarely looked closely at other people's children. Now when Niu Niu walked up to her, she stared at the little girl with a pair of weathered old eyes.

She stretched out her gently trembling right hand and gently moved the broken hair on both sides of the little girl's forehead to one side.

The five-year-old child, due to lack of nutrition all year round, does not have the baby fat of ordinary children. Instead, it looks very dry because of the lack of flesh on its cheeks, and its face is also extremely unhealthy and pale.

To be honest, Mrs. Gu didn't actually see how much this child looked like her daughter.

She thought for a while, then rolled up the sleeve of Niu Niu's left hand. After looking around, she was sure that it was empty, and her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Niuniu didn't know what Mrs. Gu wanted to do. She thought grandma wanted to see her arm, so she obediently rolled up her right sleeve.

Mrs. Gu just glanced at it casually, and immediately grabbed the little girl's right arm, stroking the light red birthmark that looked like a small fish on it with trembling fingers.

"It's my daughter, it's my daughter!" Mrs. Gu took the child into her arms and held her tightly.

Niu Niu was frightened by the sudden hug, but she still coaxed her sensibly: "Grandma, don't cry, Niu Niu is a good boy."

As the head of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu has always been resolute and capable. No one in the family could remember the last time they saw her cry.

Mrs. Gu seemed to know that she had lost her composure. After wiping her tears, she finally calmed down, but she still held on to Niu Niu's hand.

"This child will stay with the Gu family from now on." Mrs. Gu said.

Chen Chunhua wanted to say something else, but her husband stopped her.

Niuniu looked at Zhang Yuniang stupidly and asked: "Mom, have I really become your and uncle's daughter?"

Zhang Yunniang smiled and nodded.

Niuniu immediately let out a cheer.

The joy in the room did not last long. Suddenly, Mrs. Cai's yelling came from outside the room.

"I've really spent eight lifetimes of bad luck to raise a daughter like you who cheated her parents' family. Zhang Yunniang, get out of here!"

Outside the courtyard of Lao Gu's house, many villagers had gathered to watch Mrs. Cai's commotion.

The moment Niuniu heard Granny Cai's voice, she trembled with fright. Before Zhang Yuniang opened her mouth, Mrs. Gu spoke: "Niuniu, don't be afraid, mother...grandma will protect you! Grandma will go out and drive away the bad guys!"

The love in Mrs. Gu's eyes almost overflowed. She stopped Zhang Yunniang who was about to go out and said, "Niuniu is still young. You stay in the house with her, and I will go meet your stepmother."

Mrs. Gu invited her three sons and two other daughters-in-law to go out together.

Mother-in-law Cai brought her daughter-in-law, Xiao Cai, to fight, but her son Zhang Guangzong huddled in the crowd and peeked, as if he didn't want to affect his image as a scholar.

As soon as the mighty formation on Mrs. Gu's side was revealed, Mrs. Cai couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but she consciously reasoned and said with a pinched neck: "Give my granddaughter back, Niuniu is a member of my family, you guys Why are you occupying it?”

Most country women have aggressive personalities, and older ladies are even more careless.

Mrs. Gu scolded her back on the spot and said, "Holy shit! Your granddaughter? You don't even care if your granddaughter has a high fever and is about to burn to death. You dare to say that she is your granddaughter. From now on, Niuniu will be my child!"

When Granny Cai heard this, she sat down on the ground on the spot, patted her thighs and shouted, "They are robbing someone! The Gu Tongsheng family is robbing someone, and such a morally corrupt family actually wants to take the scholar exam!"

Gu Mingda and Zhang Guangzong are the only two young people in the village who took the imperial examination, and they have often been compared together by the villagers over the years.

Gu Mingda had bad luck in the exams, but he was recognized as a good reader.

As for Zhang Guangzong, everyone thought he was a blind cat and a dead rat because he was able to pass the Tongsheng Examination.

Zhang Guangzong and Granny Cai, mother and son, have actually been holding back their anger for these years. They want to suppress Gu Mingda. They have long been eager to drag Gu Mingda into the water. They just hope that he will not be able to take the imperial examination again.

Gu Mingda grabbed the old lady Gu who was about to curse, and deliberately said to Mrs. Cai: "Niuniu has a high fever all night, which is difficult to cure. The doctor said it will only last two days. You are going to take the person back. Have you prepared the coffin? ?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu immediately turned her head and wanted to ask her son why he cursed Niuniu to death, but she still held it back. Although she was fierce, she did not have the habit of tearing her son down in public.

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she said viciously: "I don't care whether she is dead or alive. Anyway, she was picked up by my son. Even if she is dead, the body belongs to my family!"

Gu Mingda keenly extracted the key point of Granny Cai's words: corpse.

He continued to test and said: "My family is willing to pay for the coffin, as long as the child is buried in my family's ancestral grave in the future."

Mrs. Cai said without even thinking: "Who wants you to pretend to be kind? Someone has paid for this child's coffin!"

Gu Mingda immediately asked: "Who will come out?"

Mrs. Cai said: "Master Yuanwai!"

"Why did the Yuanwai master pay for Niu Niu's coffin?" Gu Mingda asked again.

Zhang Guangzong hid in the crowd and heard that the words were wrong, and wanted to grab Granny Cai, but because he was too far away, he had no time to warn her.

Granny Cai had already said, "Of course it's because Niuniu and his son are getting married in the underworld!"

The villagers suddenly let out a long exclamation.

Gu Mingda added: "If you can agree to marry Yuan's wife, you must be given a lot of money."

Granny Cai said: "Since you know, you still don't know how to deal with it, so hand him over quickly."

Gu Mingda said: "Niuniu's fever has subsided, do you still want to send her to a ghost marriage?"

Mrs. Cai's mouth was still so quick: "Of course, our Zhang family is not willing to raise a sick child!"
