Chapter 4: The Little Girl's Shelter

Su Wan: "I'll go and pay off the debt?"

　　"No, no, no."

　　Several people waved their hands. Who could have thought that such a delicate and gentle girl could be so cruel?

　　How could anyone have the guts to use her to pay off his debt?

　　After lifting Liu Laoliu, several people ran away in shame.

　　"Huh? You don't want the deposit anymore?" Su Wan chased after him.

　　Several people ran faster than rabbits as if they had seen a ghost, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

　　Su Wan said with a tsk, "What a coward."

　　Clap your hands and turn around.

　　Mother Gu looked at her in astonishment with her jaw dropping.

　　Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu opened their mouths so wide that eggs could be stuffed in.

　　Gu Huaizhi's face was calm, his thin body leaning against the door frame, his appearance was relaxed and he didn't seem to have any emotion.

Upon closer inspection, the corners of his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to dig out her soul and see through it.

　　Su Wan brushed the hair on her forehead and smiled at them: "My grandfather was a great general before he passed away. I learned a few moves from him when I was a child and I have never forgotten them."

　　Anyway, she had only been married into the Gu family for a month and had always refused to communicate with the Gu family. Apart from knowing that she was Su Wan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, they knew nothing else and let her talk nonsense.

　　Mother Gu came back to her senses and looked at Su Wan with a strange look in her eyes.

　　She was a pampered young lady, and marrying into the Gu family was really an injustice for her.

　　When Gu's mother was a daughter-in-law, she was bullied and made things difficult for by her mother-in-law.

　　She swore in her heart that when she became a mother-in-law, she would love her daughter-in-law to death.

　　No matter how Su Wan behaves, Gu's mother will turn a blind eye.

Selling children is no small matter.

　　"Come in." Mother Gu pulled the two children into the house.

　　Gu Huaizhi's dark pupils were cold and sharp. He looked at her sternly, as if he was going to settle a score with her, and went back to the house with a cold face.

　　Su Wan curled her lips and followed him to the main room.

　　Several people sat around a table.

　　The atmosphere in the room was solemn.

　　Mother Gu asked with a stern face: "Wanwan, are you going to sell Erlang and Sanya?"

　　"Yes." Su Wan admitted straightforwardly. She didn't like lying. But she was afraid of hurting Gu's mother's feelings, so she added: "I couldn't accept the gap before, so I made a fuss and let you down."

　　Gu's mother treated the original owner as her own daughter and loved her dearly. Su Wan couldn't bear to lie to her about the bad things the original owner had done.

　　She had just arrived in a strange era and had no idea what was going on outside. Staying at Gu's house to get to know the situation was her best option at the moment.

After all, the Marquis' Mansion was afraid that she would cause trouble when she returned to the capital, so they would definitely send someone to follow her.

　　She obeyed whatever Mother Gu wanted her to do and was too embarrassed to stay in the Gu family.

　　In this life, if she had stopped Gu Huaizhi from drinking poison and had not sold out Gu Jingyun and Gu Baozhu, Gu's mother would not have died, and Gu Huaizhi would not have turned evil and taken her life.

　　As long as she stays away from the male and female protagonists in the book, she can live happily anywhere.

　　"Mother, my sister-in-law doesn't want to sell me and my second brother." Gu Baozhu sat next to her mother, grabbed her sleeve with her skinny little hand and gently pulled it: "Our family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat, and my eldest brother is even sicker. I beg my sister-in-law to sell me to a wealthy family as a maid, so that she can buy medicine for my eldest brother. I can also get a monthly allowance to supplement the family expenses."

　　Gu Baozhu liked this beautiful sister-in-law very much and wanted to get close to her, but the sister-in-law didn't like them.

　　When Gu Baozhu heard that her sister-in-law wanted to sell her and her second brother, she felt very sad and aggrieved.

　　Later, the eldest sister-in-law said she would not sell them, beat the human traffickers away, and even smiled at them.

It was the first time Gu Baozhu saw her sister-in-law smile, and she looked even prettier than she had imagined.

　　"Mom, I asked my sister-in-law for help, please don't blame her."

　　Gu Baozhu didn't want her elder sister-in-law to leave, as her elder brother had finally married her.

　　Now that the elder sister-in-law knows that the mother is good to her, if they try to be nice to her in the future, she will definitely become a better person, right?
