When Mrs. Li heard this, she started crying. She glanced towards the door, but didn’t see Gu Mei’s figure, knowing in her heart that she couldn’t win against Yun Jiao.
Crying, she shakily opened a box, "What did I do in my past life to deserve such an ungrateful daughter. Yu Lang! My dear Yu Lang, where are you? If you don’t come back, I won’t be able to go on."
She cried and pulled out a property deed from the box, held it in her hand, thinking of handing it over, but couldn’t let go.
Yun Jiao gestured to Gu Chuan, "Go take it."
Gu Chuan climbed onto the bed and took the property deed from Mrs. Li’s hand.
Yun Jiao instructed him to keep it close, then said, "I’ll take my brother with me, mother you—forget it, let’s just leave it at that."
She originally wanted to persuade her mother a bit, but thought better of it, would her mother ever listen to anyone?
Let her be, she couldn’t stop her.
Gu Chuan turned back to look at his mother, who was tightly clutching the box, tears streaming down, showing no reaction to his departure.
Not even a word of advice to listen to his sister in the future, nothing, she was lost in her sorrow, with no place for him in her eyes.
Gu Chuan’s heart grew completely cold at this moment, and he held Yun Jiao’s hand even tighter.
Yun Jiao, holding a bundle in one hand and Gu Chuan in the other, came out, placed the items down, and turned to walk to Gu Mei’s room, sneering at the tightly closed door.
"Gu Mei, you’re really something!"
"I knew you had a dark heart, but I didn’t expect it to be this black!"
"First, you tricked your younger sister into a marriage for luck, and now for your dowry, you urge mother to sell land, not caring about your brother’s life."
"Fine, I’ll wait and see what kind of good life a ruthless person like you will live in the future!"
Gu Mei couldn’t help herself and responded from inside, "Don’t worry, my life will be a hundred times better than yours!"
Yun Jiao chuckled, "Alright, let’s just wait and see."
"Gu Chuan, let’s go!"
Gu Mei hid inside, sneering continuously.
Yun Jiao’s good days won’t last long either; by now, Jiang Sanlang’s leg is probably broken too.
In the past life, the Jiang Family didn’t want to spend silver on his treatment, and Mrs. Chen borrowed money everywhere to treat him, eventually seeming to pawn some kind of sword to get the silver.
After several months of treatment, Jiang Sanlang’s leg still ended up crippled.
Mrs. Chen wanted her to marry Jiang Sanlang.
She was initially reluctant, disdaining him for being a cripple, but seeing his face, she thought she could manage, even with him being a cripple.
Who knew, Jiang Sanlang refused to agree under any circumstances.
He spoke nicely, saying he didn’t want to hold her back. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
But really, he just looked down on her!
Though she clearly expressed her feelings several times, saying she wasn’t bothered by his crippled leg, he remained unmoved.
Later, Mrs. Chen arranged for her to marry out.
She received five taels of silver as the bridal price and married her off to a widower who seemed decent and had a daughter at home.
At first, she thought she’d found a good match.
The man knew a few words, worked as an accountant in the county, and in the beginning, they were sweet as honey.
Sigh, forget it, don’t think about it.
Yun Jiao didn’t know her sister’s thoughts had drifted back to the past life; she had already taken Gu Chuan onto the cart.
Liu Er soon drove the cart away.
Before long, the cart returned to the village.
As the cart passed by Zhao Lizheng’s house next door, Sun stood at the courtyard gate, looking at the boxes and bundles on the cart, and exaggeratedly said, "Wow, Yun Jiao is going back to her mother’s home?"
She covered her mouth and laughed, "So many things, it’s like she’s moved out her whole family’s belongings."
