176 Chapter 176 A Scheme
âI wonât marry Tian Jiawang no matter what. You can marry him if you dare agree on my behalf, as I donât want to be poor for the rest of my life.â Chunhong straightened her neck and replied.
When she was working in the manor, she saw what the most important thing in village life was. It was land, which was the foundation of not having to worry about food and drink.
Therefore, Gu Chengzhi, who was talented, good-looking, and had a lot of lands, fit her requirements the best. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As for Tian Jiawang, although he had a job and no parents or children, he looked like a bear. He still had three worthless family members to raise; at most, she wouldnât have to worry about food and drink. She would probably have to save up for a long time if she wanted to buy a decent piece of clothing, which was why she didnât want to marry him.
In her daze, she did not notice Widow Huaâs face darkening, and her eyes were disappointed. Then, she slapped her daughterâs face. âIt seems like Iâve spoiled you too much.â
âYou!â Chunhong covered her face, burning from the slap, and looked at Widow Hua in disbelief.
She roared aggrievedly, âYouâre simply being unreasonable!â
After that, she turned around and ran out.
âCome back here!â Widow Hua quickly chased after her.
Not only did Chunhong not return, but she ran faster and faster. Finally, she rushed into the Tian familyâs house and roared at Sister Tian, who was in a daze. âYou should give up! I will never marry into your family, even if I die!â
After that, she turned around and ran up the mountain.
Sister Tian was stunned and confused. What was she talking about?
However, she soon remembered that her best friend, Widow Hua, had asked her what she thought of Chunhong.
To be honest, she didnât like Chunhongâs arrogant personality, but for her friendâs sake, she only nodded and praised her daughter.
She hadnât expectedâ¦
She ran after her immediately, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw her running up the mountain. She was afraid that something would happen to Chunhong, and she couldnât explain it to her friend. Thus, she had no choice but to turn and run to Widow Huaâs house.
She had no idea sheâd run into Widow Hua when she turned into an alley she had to pass through. She quickly pulled onto her and urged, âChunhong ran up the mountain.â
âWhat? That wretched girl is getting more and more disobedient.â At this point, Widow Hua wanted to ask Sister Tian to help chase after her daughter.
However, when she thought about how Chunhong rejected her, she immediately swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She just thanked Sister Tian and ran up the mountain.
Sister Tian shook her head when she saw this. At the same time, she was glad that Chunhong did not agree to the marriage, or she might have harmed her brother.
Chunhongâs rebellious situation also reminded her that she shouldnât spoil her daughter too much, or it would be troublesome in the future.
After Chunhong ran into the mountains, she didnât walk far before she met Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye. When she saw the two brothers checking out the mountain, her eyes flashed, and she had an idea.
She quietly walked over and stopped about a hundred feet away from them. She deliberately twisted her foot and shouted, âOh, help!â
She shouted a few more times just in case they couldnât hear her.
The Gu brothers, busy digging through the soil, paused when they heard the shouts. They looked at each other and ran up the mountain, where they saw Chunhong struggling to get up.
The two brothers looked at each other, but neither stepped forward.
This was because they had seen too many conspiracies and schemes for marriage in the capital.
Chunhong had been trying to get close to Gu Chengye all this time, but the Gu family didnât want her. So, both brothers felt this was probably another trick of hers, trying to take advantage of an opportunity to cling to Gu Chengye.
