Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 304. Retirement

"Then this old servant will shamelessly agree, and my young lady will have to work hard from now on." Granny Pang will never have children in her life and has no intention of adopting.

Bai Suihe's words struck a chord with her. Some of the older women were too old to walk. Although the family treated them well and even hired people to take care of them, the family wouldn't concern themselves with everything. Their quality of life was, of course, indescribable. They were lucky if they weren't cold or hungry.

But she was different from these people. In fact, she had already made up her mind that when she was truly unable to move, she would definitely prepare a medicine that suited her and would no longer have to endure those sufferings.

Although she had only spent a day with the young lady, she was very good at judging people, and the young lady always kept her promises.

With Granny Pang by her side, Bai Suihe felt that her quality of life had improved by several levels.

Everything, big and small, was arranged perfectly. The food was much better than what they had ordered from restaurants before, and it was also more suitable for her as a pregnant woman.

I learned all this from my interactions with the baby these past few days. These delicious dishes are slowly conditioning her body, and the baby in her womb is also benefiting.

With the help of the people brought by Granny Pang, Gu Kaiyuan has already built the greenhouse at the back and even started cultivating seedlings, striving to eat fresh vegetables as soon as possible.

As for the saltpeter on the back mountain, Gu Kaiyuan and his group pretended not to know about it. They didn't throw away the stones they picked up, but instead used them to build a stone path, which would reduce the mud.

Two days passed peacefully, during which they heard some things from Gu Baihe, who came to visit.

Fan Meibao was lucky; the sword didn't hit a vital spot, and she survived. However, she will probably never have children in her lifetime.

The Xu family mother and daughter have been arguing with the Gu family for the past two days, demanding an explanation from the Gu family.

It's unclear what Gu Baijiang was thinking, but he agreed to marry Xu Shuanghong, and the two of them went directly to the clan chief to be registered in the clan genealogy.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that Xu Shuanghong had found a handle on Gu Baijiang. After all, if word got out that he had used Fan Meibao as a shield, it would damage the reputation of the entire Gu family.

Bai Suihe thought back to that night and how crazy these people were. She wondered to herself, "So many people were grabbing snow and eating it in the snow and drinking so much cold water. Could they be like Fan Meibao?"
But Gu Baihe didn't mention it, so she didn't ask. Some things just shouldn't come out of her mouth.

The Gu family has been behaving themselves these past two days, staying home to rest and recover. However, after this incident, the villagers are even less willing to associate with them.

Even Gu Kaiyuan and his group were affected; those who had come to ask about work before have all disappeared.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law sent so many people to them, otherwise they would have been really too busy.

Even though there's not much to do in winter, the irrigation ditches need to be repaired first in order to irrigate next year. These are all hard jobs, and there's no room for slacking off.

As for waiting until spring when it gets warmer to start doing things, that would be too busy. At that time, there would be tilling the land and sowing seeds; there's never a moment of leisure in farm work.

Now, apart from Gu Baijiang and Zhou Gang, everyone else in the village has quickly integrated into Tiancun, and they all work from sunrise to sunset like the other villagers.

The fields allocated to the Gu and Zhou families are still lying idle. Before, the village chief would come over to remind them, but after that night of the brutality of those men in black, the village chief no longer wanted to get involved in their affairs.

Now the entire Tiancun village seems to be divided into two factions: the original inhabitants and these exiled convicts, who have become the two natural factions in the village.

The Gu clan members, on the contrary, thrived. With land, they felt full of energy and hope again.

Even if Gu Baijiang couldn't let them return to their homeland, as long as they were alive, they could create a new family here. Bai Suihe and the other women were also busy storing up winter food and even started smoking cured meat like the locals.

While ordinary families might hang one or two pieces on the stove, Bai Suihe and his family built a separate wooden hut to smoke cured meat.

To improve the taste, Gu Kaiyuan even led a group into the mountains to find some fruit trees before they started smoking the wood. The aroma has been pervasive throughout the village ever since.

Those greedy children have forgotten their parents' warnings and often come around here. Sometimes they stand in the corner and inhale the aroma of the cured meat, as if they can smell the cured meat on themselves.

Everyone was busy, so the Gu family stayed home for a while before continuing to travel between the county town and the village.

Fan Meibao has been bedridden since her previous injury.

She's been acting sarcastic and sarcastic all the time, saying that Xu Shuanghong disregarded her for her own benefit.

When Fan Meilin, the older sister, said a few words to her, she was retorted, "My dear sister, all the misfortunes have beenfallen me, so of course you can stand by and make sarcastic remarks."

Anyway, with this broken body of mine, I won't be able to have my own children in the future. I've already lost my most basic value. What's the difference between living like this and being dead?
"If even this can't make me happy, then I'll have to find a way to make myself happy."

"But this isn't our fault that you're like this..."

"Hehe, if Mother hadn't known Gu Baijiang before, how could we have been targeted?"

Although we lived a life without dignity on the banks of the Qinhuai River, at least we were able to survive. Along the way, I was enslaved and forced to submit to someone like Gu Kaichen.

I already felt miserable enough, but I never imagined I'd be used as a human shield to take a hit. Can my dear sister understand the pain I've endured?

Fan Meilin remained silent, while Xu Shuanghong covered her face and cried, "I didn't know it would turn out like this, but there was nothing we could do..."

She felt even more wronged, having to face Gu Baijiang's face every day and constantly fawn over him. Xu Shuanghong had never lived such a lowly life before.

The mother had raised her daughter with great care and love, and now, after such a short time, she had turned her daughter into this state. How could she, as a mother, feel any better?
Every word Mei Bao said pierced her heart.

"In short, since I'm in such a miserable state right now, no one else should have an easy time either."

"I won't stop you from marrying Gu Baijiang, but don't stop me from taking revenge."

Xu Shuanghong quickly looked outside and found that none of the Gu family members were there. She then said, "I know you feel wronged. Don't worry, this is just a temporary measure. When the opportunity comes in the future, I will make the Gu family kneel in front of you."

“You better keep your word,” Fan Meibao said with a sinister look. “I will make Gu Baijiang pay a thousand times over.”

"Now that you are their stepmother, you should treat them well and make them pay for all the suffering I endured before, so that I can see your sincerity."

Xu Shuangfeng said, "Don't worry, I'm now in the family genealogy. Once I have a voice in the Gu family, I will make them pay the price."
