The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When Zheng Liu heard Gu Jinchu's words, her gentle expression darkened slightly, and even her eyes became sharp.

"Chu Jie'er, who said anything in front of you?"

As far as he could remember, Gu Jinchu had rarely seen his grandmother get angry, and she was quite gentle towards the village manager.

I finally understand why they are always trembling with fear when they see my grandmother. It's because of her intimidating feeling.

She said calmly, "No one told me anything. My mother mentioned it unintentionally a few days ago..." Gu Jinchu briefly talked about what happened during that period and her mother's somewhat strange attitude.

Zheng Liu tightened her grip on Gu Jinchu's hand, her expression becoming less tense as she murmured to herself:

"Yes, it's only during those few days."

After that, he looked at her for a long while before speaking:

"Chu Jie'er will be coming of age in two months. There are some things your mother doesn't want you to know, but grandma thinks it's good for you to know so that you can have a better idea of ​​what will happen in the future."

Gu Jinchu was taken by her grandmother to sit on her bed, just like when she was a child and couldn't sleep, her grandmother told her stories, but this time they were about the past of her father and mother.

Zheng Liu didn't recall for too long before she said, "The child your mother was talking about was the child your father and Li Xianglian once had."

Gu Jinchu was stunned. He looked up at his grandmother and asked, "Older than me?"

Grandmother's eyes were firm and her tone was gentle, "I asked Mother Song to make that bowl of abortion medicine. I watched with my own eyes as the maid poured the medicine into Li Xianglian's mouth. She aborted right in front of me. It was a fully formed baby boy."

Zheng Liu looked down at her and asked, "Why? Do you think your grandmother is scary?"

Gu Jinchu shook his head, speaking quickly and even a little angrily, "Before mother got married? Didn't father and Li Xianglian have an affair before? Then why did mother..."

She couldn't continue, and then there would be no her.

Grandma looked at her with satisfaction in her eyes, "You are worthy of growing up by my side..."

"It's a pity that your mother is not as decisive as you. She still has illusions about such a man and such a family."

Gu Jinchu lowered her head. When she heard her grandmother's words, she felt a little guilty.

By the time she knew how to make a choice, it was already too late...

Then I heard my grandmother continue, "After your mother came of age, I wanted to keep her at home for a few more years. One reason was that I hadn't found a suitable and excellent young man yet, and the other was that if a woman got married too early, giving birth would cause great damage to her body."

"It just so happened that your mother went to the dowry shop alone that time and ran into Gu Huanian who was being chased..."

Gu Jinchu learned from his grandmother's story that the Gu family owed a large sum of money in order to treat his grandfather's illness, and the family was almost broken up.

When my father was at his wit's end, he met my mother, and a drama of a beauty saving a down-and-out scholar unfolded.

My grandmother once used the Zheng family rules to restrict my father, on the condition that my mother would bring a generous dowry.

Regardless, my father agreed and signed a contract for it.

Unexpectedly, one day, one month before the wedding, my third uncle Zheng Wenyang and Qin Lang discovered that their father and his cousin were pregnant.

When my grandmother brought my mother to the door, Zheng Liu didn't care whether the Gu family was rich or had status, but what she cared about was the Gu family's attitude towards her daughter.

What Gu Huanian did touched the bottom line of the Zheng family. His second uncle ran a martial arts school and his men were very strong and powerful.

The eldest uncle was gentle and calm, and his words were enough to nail Gu Huanian to the pillar of shame.

The third uncle is the most thoughtful person in the Zheng family. He analyzed to Gu Huanian what he would encounter in his career after this incident.

At that time, with the help of the Zheng family, the Gu family had paid off their previous debts, and Gu Huanian was preparing for the imperial examination next year.

Everything was going in the right direction, but something like this happened.

Li Xianglian, who was obviously pregnant, stepped forward, took the initiative to take responsibility for everything, and threatened to die as an apology.

My grandmother described the whole process lightly, simply saying that Li Xianglian had aborted the baby in her womb, which was an unformed male fetus, and that Gu Li fainted on the spot.

The final outcome was that on the day my mother married my father, Li Xianglian's sedan chair also entered the Gu family.

My mother has been in charge of the Gu family's finances in recent years. My father returned to Shuntian Prefecture to report on his work. The Gu family mansion in Xianghe was one of the houses that my mother brought as a dowry.

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu’s hatred deepened.

The older she got, especially after she married Jiang Nansheng in her previous life, the more she realized that her mother was not happy in the Gu family all these years.

"Grandma, mother did this all for me, right?"

Grandma Chen was silent for a while, then said: "Your mother paid the price for her own stubbornness. It's not her fault that she met the wrong person. You are her only child, and her efforts are what she deserves..."

After listening to her grandmother's words, she finally understood why her mother was so tolerant, but in her previous life, her mother also paid the price with her life.

"They are going too far!"

Hearing the hatred in Gu Jinchu's voice, Zheng Liu comforted her:

"It's not too late for your mother to wake up. The Gu family wants our Zheng family's money and wants to borrow the power of the Zheng family. They neither respect the legitimate wife nor treat the legitimate daughter well. How can such a good thing happen!"

Gu Jinchu knew that her grandmother would definitely take action. She and her mother were not even one-tenth as decisive and efficient as her grandmother.

Zheng Liu held her granddaughter in her arms and patted her gently, just like when she was coaxing her to sleep when she was a child.

The voice was gentle and unhurried, "Chu Jie'er, there is no need to rush now. Your father's sixth-rank official cannot be promoted any further. He is obsessed with having a son..."

Of course Gu Jinchu knew his father’s obsession. In the previous life, all the Gu family members died in a fire, and no baby boy was born in their second branch.

Not just baby boys, since Gu Yan, I haven't heard of concubines and concubines getting pregnant...

As she was thinking, she fell asleep in her grandmother's arms.

In a daze, she seemed to be back in the village in the countryside, the small girl holding a whip in her hand that was taller than her.

Standing in front of a young man with an arrogant look, he said shamelessly:

"Hey, who are you? Why are you here at my grandmother's farm?"

"I like your face very much. Do you want to be my husband?"

"Why don't you talk and drink alone? Are you unhappy? My grandmother said that I will be a peerless beauty when I grow up, so you and I have decided first."

"Remember my name, my name is Gu Jinchu. From today on, you cannot have a concubine. When we get married in the future, you cannot have a concubine, otherwise I will leave you..."

Gu Jinchu felt that this dream was extremely real, as if it had really happened.

She wanted to see the face of the man opposite her clearly, but until she woke up from her dream, there was a layer of mist in front of him...
