Chapter 291 Gu Caiwei's Background
Dongfang Jin glanced at Gu Jingye: "There are many versions of this story, but the most widely circulated one is that it is said to be in the heavens of the ancient Chinese kingdom."
The Jade Emperor wanted to select twelve animals as the twelve zodiac animals and decided to determine their order through a competition.
During the competition, the mouse couldn't swim, but it cleverly took advantage of the ox's kindness and got the ox to carry it across the river.
However, just as it was about to reach the shore, the mouse jumped off the ox's head and onto the bank, thus winning first place.
"Don't you think this mouse is clever?"
The children laughed and shouted, "Smart!"
Dongfang Jin laughed along, "Are you saying that rats are cunning?"
The children then shouted, "Sly, haha..."
Then everyone burst into laughter.
……
At night, Dongfang Jin nestled in Gu Chenglin's arms: "Gu Chenglin..."
Gu Chenglin reached out and patted Dongfang Jin's butt: "Call me brother."
Dongfang Jin was somewhat displeased: "It's all your business."
“One more time,” Gu Chenglin said in a deep voice.
Dongfang Jin immediately surrendered: "No, I have something to say."
"Call me brother."
"Brother, every time I see this little stone..."
Dongfang Jin then told Gu Chenglin about the sadness in Gu Jingye's eyes when he saw Gu Yumei interacting with Shen Qihui and Yang Zhu interacting with her two sons.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenglin hugged Dongfang Jin tightly and said, "That woman married me because she wanted to escape my father's control."
She was the one who initiated the relationship with me. At the time, I even told her that if she didn't want to, I wouldn't touch her, and we would get a divorce after a while.
But she insisted... so I touched her.
After Gu Chenglin finished speaking, he saw that Dongfang Jin did not react, and he was a little angry. Didn't his wife get jealous?
Seeing Dongfang Jin's expression as if she were listening to a story, he was even more speechless.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That was the only time we had sex. Later, when I wanted to do *that* with her, she was scared and refused."
She was glaring at me with hatred, and I never touched her again after that.
Dongfang Jin suppressed a laugh upon hearing this: "Couldn't you just force yourself on me?"
Gu Chenglin: "..." Heartbroken.
At that time, he didn't have those kinds of thoughts at all. He just thought that the other person might be thinking that he was just letting them have their way, but who knew...
I want to force myself on you.
Yes, he wanted to work with this person; it was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Dongfang Jin quickly suppressed her anger: "And then what? Calm down!"
Gu Chenglin looked at his wife with resentment: "Later, I went to do corvée labor, and I was gone for three years."
During the three years I was away from home, that family bullied her. She wanted to leave, but she got pregnant...
When I left home, I told my third brother that if she wanted to leave, he should help her. I also left her some money.
I never expected that she would break the stone so soon after I left home...
I wasn't there when the stone was born, but I did send someone back money to my third brother..."
Dongfang Jin nodded, surprised that this person was quite intelligent and not blindly filial.
Gu Chenglin's voice was somewhat cold at this moment: "I didn't expect that when my third sister-in-law brought her food one time, she happened to find her hitting a stone with something."
At that time, the stone was only a little over a month old.
Dongfang Jin: "..."
Holy crap, is that woman even human?
Hitting a baby who is just over a month old?
She is unfit to be a mother.
"and after?"
Gu Chenglin exhaled a breath of turbid air: "My third sister-in-law was furious when she saw it, so she didn't give her the money, but only left the food."
She probably felt that it was wrong of her to hit the stone if her third sister-in-law saw her.
But she was ungrateful and complained that the food her third sister-in-law had given her had a strong smell. When Granny Gu found out, she scolded her and wrongly accused her of stealing food.
She hit the stone because she was angry.
Although she said that, her third sister-in-law did not believe her and went home to tell her third brother what she had seen.
After that, the third brother talked to Qi Chunsheng, Changshan and other families, asking them to keep an eye on her when they had time, so that he wouldn't kill Shitou.
With the attention of her third sister-in-law and the others, the Gu family also became more restrained towards her.
But ultimately, her sisters-in-law couldn't watch over her all the time.
Because Gu Yaozu's family also had a boy, Granny Gu often prepared delicious food for Madam Ye.
But she had nothing, so she must have felt resentful.
Dongfang Jin nodded in affirmation. In her heart, she wondered why her younger brother's family had everything, while she had nothing, since they were both daughters-in-law and had given birth at the same time.
This man was already dissatisfied with the food given to him by his third sister-in-law and had already started hitting the stone.
This is not a good thing. Hitting people can become a habit, and once it happens, it will happen again.
As for venting anger, children are clearly the only "tool" for doing so.
Dongfang Jin felt utter contempt for this kind of person. If you have the energy, go fight with Granny Gu! Why are you bullying your own baby who can't even speak?
Gu Chenglin, with a cold expression, continued, "I heard that once she pressed a stone into the water and was caught by Fourth Aunt."
Fourth Aunt didn't dare to go forward, and pretended not to notice, so she hid in the shadows and pretended to meet and talk to someone.
Hearing the noise, the woman quickly pulled the stone out of the water, laughing and saying she was giving the stone a bath.
Fourth Aunt said she was terrified at the time, but thankfully the stone was alright.
Dongfang Jin sat up angrily upon hearing this, only to find that she was not dressed. She then crawled back into bed and glared at Gu Chenglin.
"Tell me, what kind of wife did you marry?"
Gu Chenglin's mood improved considerably after her series of actions, and he quickly wrapped her in the blanket.
"Go on!"
“When I returned from my corvée labor, I gave my family a lot of money, and I also secretly gave her some, which helped her get a little better.”
But they still wouldn't let me touch it, and at that time I wasn't too interested in that kind of thing, because that family was watching me from time to time.
As for Shitou, I don't know how to take care of children, let alone how to educate him, so I often take Shitou to my third brother's house.
Then I went to the border…
Dongfang Jin flipped over and straddled him, exclaiming in surprise, "So, according to you, Caiwei really isn't your daughter?"
No wonder the people in Lingwu Village were spreading such detailed rumors, and Aunt Gu and Yang Zhu were also trying to cover it up because of this.
Gu Chenglin pulled her off and held her in his arms: "No, but she is indeed her daughter, Shi Tou's biological sister."
"So, Caiwei really is her and that peddler's lover?"
"Well, actually she and that peddler were already together long before she married me."
Nobody knew, and besides, the peddler didn't live around here, and he never came over.
"So, this wasn't her first time with you?"
Gu Chenglin shook his head, leaned closer and whispered, "It doesn't seem like that now. She also cried out in pain at the time, but it felt different from what you felt."
Seeing that he was going to make a move again, Dongfang Jin pinched his waist and said, "Behave yourself."
"young married woman……"
"Shut up."
"Wife, let's go to the space."
"No, there are too many people at home today. So, you and your ex-wife only had sex once in all these years, and that's how Stone came to be? But are you sure Stone is your child?"
Gu Chenglin said with some disappointment, "Have you forgotten that I am a descendant of the Hua family and the Gu family?"
Stone has a light-colored, red plum blossom-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder.
Dongfang Jin recalled, "That's right, Caiwei didn't have it on her. Ha, what a mess this is."
"Since Caiwei is their child, why don't they take her away?"
Shouldn't the biological parents take their own child away?
But why do they ignore it?
Gu Chenglin lay down, pursed his lips with a disdainful look, and sneered, "Maybe it's because they think Caiwei is a girl. Actually, the preference for sons over daughters is more severe in the South than in the North, and the place she's in now is even poorer than Lingwu Village."
Although he used the money to open a grocery store in the local town, business was only so-so.
Picking up the child?
Ha! That woman probably doesn't have an easy time being a stepmother, raising a child alone?
