Chapter 179 Gu Jingye Fights with the Village Children

At this moment, Yang Wenwen's face finally showed the look that should be on her face at this age, and she smiled innocently and said, "Grandma Jun, I really want Auntie to be my mother."

Everyone present was stunned by these innocent words.

Dongfang Jin...

I'm not ready yet.

Jun Wenhui: "..." This is not something she can decide!

Looking at Dongfang Jin, she silently said, "Being a daughter is fine, but being a daughter-in-law is safer."

After thinking all this, she was startled by herself. When did she become so unconventional?

"We'll have to wait until your brother arrives to discuss this."

"Can my brother come?"

"It depends on the situation, it will take a day or two."

After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, she looked at the group and pointed to Gu Caiwei, who had entered the house with Jun Qixian: "This is my daughter, Gu Caiwei. Linglan, Xialan, Chunlan, and Mulan, the four of you will be following her from now on."

At this point, Dongfang Jin looked at the four of them again: "If Wenwen stays in the future, the four of you will also be responsible for taking care of her."

If she leaves, I hope you will forget about her too.

Because she has an older brother, and given their status, her brother will definitely pursue a career in government.

We can't force her to stay just because we can't bear to part with her. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it might hinder her brother's career.

Lily of the Valley (Lan Fangjing): "Understood."

Yang Hui nodded: "Xia Lan, I understand."

After saying that, she mustered up her courage and asked Dongfang Jin, "Master, this servant would like you to recognize Wenwen as your goddaughter."

Dongfang Jin reached out and pinched Gu Caiwei's thin little face. Looking at Gu Caiwei's chubby little face now, she felt a sense of accomplishment. This child was thinner than the rest of them back then.

"You're like a little adult, you can't even handle all this trouble."

How should we arrange things for her then? Should we listen to her brother?

If the other person's brother doesn't agree, I can't force him, can I?

Also, you lot, please don't call me "servant" anymore; I'm still not used to it.

Just as Dongfang Jin finished speaking, Xu Zhi, the eldest brother of Xu Changhua, ran in breathlessly: "Auntie, quick, Gu... Gu family's Jin Suo is back."

He... he was fighting with Jing Ye, accompanied by a martial arts-skilled guard and some children from the Gu clan.

Xiao Zhuang and Bao Lai also joined the fight. The other side outnumbered them, and Xiao Hui was injured.

Dongfang Jin was furious when she heard this. Was the Gu family never going to stop?

"Xiao Zhi, come with me. You all stay home and wait."

Gu Yumei stood up as well, looking worried: "I'll go with you."

Was her son injured?

How badly injured are you?

My heart suddenly ached.

How did the Gu family become like this?

Dongfang Jin stopped her: "You'd better not go. If Xiaojun comes back, just have him go to the village to find me."

If she goes with them, who knows what nasty things the villagers might say.

Lin Min told her last time that many people in the village were gossiping about her, saying that Sister Yumei wanted to be Gu Chenglin's mistress.

Without her even asking, she could imagine what those gossipy women would say when they saw Gu Yumei.

It's better not to let her show her face, otherwise if she finds out about those rumors, who knows what might happen.

Things are already chaotic enough.

If more trouble comes, she might not be able to handle it.

Jun Wenhui also looked worried, and she agreed with Dongfang Jin's words: "Yumei, you stay. If you leave, Xiao Jin will have to take care of you."

Yes, she had heard the gossip about Lingwu Village.

"But, Xiaohui..."

"He'll be fine. You have to trust Long Er. Ordinary martial artists can't hurt him."

Gu Jingye and Shen Qihui have become warriors; ordinary people who know martial arts can't hurt them.

If there were injuries, then they were intentional.

Because Long Er told them that the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

If you don't want others to notice anything unusual about you, you have to know how to hide your shortcomings.

After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, she led Xu Zhi quickly out the back door, saying that it was closer to Lingwu Village from there.

Gu Chenglin wasn't home, so Long Er went to Puyang Prefecture in Qingzhou to investigate Yang Wenwen's father, Yang Lin.

Jun Qirui and Shen Qijun took Grandpa Xu to the county to register the seven households, including Yang Hui's.

Grandpa Xu said that one of the medicines he prescribed for Yang Hui was something he couldn't get from Yonghetang in the county because he didn't have it at home.

On the way, Xu Zhi said that when Gu Jingye and Shen Qihui went to call Grandpa Xu, Aunt Gu and Sister Yang Zhu were at the Xu family home.

Aunt Gu asked who in the family was sick, and Gu Jingye shook his head, only saying that his mother had asked Master Xu to go to his house quickly.

As the group was leaving Grandpa Xu's house, they ran into Lin Ziyao, the grandson of the Lin family head, chatting with Sun Qingzhuang and his brothers.

When Sun Qingzhuang saw Gu Jingye, he ran over and pulled him over, saying that everything he was learning now was from Gu Jingye.

Lin Ziyao had met Gu Jingye once before, but they had only nodded and greeted each other without speaking.

Seeing that Sun Qingzhuang said this, Gu Jingye couldn't refute it, so he stayed.

Seeing this, Grandpa Xu, Aunt Gu, and Yang Zhu went to his house first.

Before Lin Ziyao could speak, Gu Ping'an from Gu Yucheng's family interrupted, asking whose child Gu Jingye was, since he didn't recognize him.

They also asked Gu Jingye which private school he attended and what level the teacher was at.

Lin Ziyao didn't think too much about it and just said that Gu Jingye was the little stone in Gu Chenglin's family.

Gu Ping'an, at a young age, had already learned his grandfather's snobbishness. Sure enough, as soon as he heard that Gu Jingye was from Gu Chenglin's family.

He immediately changed his tune, disdainfully saying that Gu Jingye's mother was bought by the Gu family for one tael of silver, and that they were not worthy of being included in the family genealogy.

Now that his father, Gu Chenglin, has been expelled from the Gu family, he is not worthy of studying at all. Even if he knows a few words, he still says he can't learn anything from Gu Jingye.

Afterwards, he ridiculed Lin Ziyao, telling him never to associate with such lowly people again.

They even said that they were destined to be top scholars in the imperial examinations, and that associating with such people would lower one's own status.

Dongfang Jin sneered inwardly. Lowering his status?

What a joke! Her little stone is the grandson of the Duke of Rongguo, and... how could he, a dying man, possibly be allowed to have his way?

Gu Chenglin's background has not yet been revealed. The day it is revealed will be the day the Gu family of Lingwu Village is destroyed.

The Gu family, including the clan head, will be the first to be affected; none of them will escape.

Xu Zhi said that the children in the village were divided into two groups. One group consisted of children who attended private schools. They were basically led by Gu Jinshuo, followed by Gu Ping'an, the grandson of the clan chief, and then Lin Ziyao, the grandson of the village head.

The other group consisted of children who didn't go to school, led by Sun Qingzhuang from Sun Xingjia's family.

As the kids made such a racket, one of them ran to Gu Qingshan's house to call for Gu Jinsuo.

Because Gu Jinshuo said when he came back yesterday that he wanted to fight Gu Chenglin's bastard son.

That's perfect timing, Gu Jingye is in the village, saving them the trouble of going all the way to Nanshan to look for him.

Because Gu Jinshuo said that his uncle and aunt divorced because of Gu Chenglin and Fang Jin, that jinx.

Jingye didn't care that Gu Pingan didn't like him, and he didn't want to talk to them either.

He then told Lin Ziyao that if he had any questions, he should come to his house. After saying that, he pulled Shen Qihui and tried to go home.

However, several children from the Gu family stopped them, because someone had already seen Gu Jinshuo bringing a man over.

They all wanted to curry favor with Gu Jinshuo.

All the children knew that Gu Jinsuo's maternal grandfather had spent money to buy him a bodyguard to protect him.

When Gu Jinshuo showed off to them, the children were incredibly envious.

Gu Jinsuo came over and, without saying a word, ordered his guard to beat Gu Jingye.

He even boasted that he could kill him without consequence, as his uncle and clan chief Gu had his back in Lingwu Village, and his maternal grandfather and great-uncle had his back in Changhe Town.
