Lili felt her heart ache for a moment, then she turned her face away and pulled Gu Qingzi to her feet. "Qingzi, you go out. You haven't married yet, so your hands can't be rough."

"Mother." Gu Qingzi held Madame Gu's hand and said, "I'm fine."

However, Madame Gu saw the wound on Gu Qingzi's hand. "How did you get injured?"

Gu Qingzi quickly retracted her hand, lowering her head, saying with embarrassment, "I met a hare, but I couldn't catch it. It scratched me, so I'm fine."

"What if there is a scar in the future?" Madame Gu's heart ached.

Gu Qingzi quickly shook her head. "Mom, it really doesn't hurt."

"Oh, you child." In the end, Madame Gu still let Gu Qingzi leave.

After dinner, Gu Qingzi lied in her room. There were only a few rooms away from her and the sounds of Gu Wei and Lian Qingmei quarreling could be heard.

"Wa wow wow wow …" The baby cried.

It was so noisy that Gu Wei couldn't fall asleep, "Qingmei, hurry up and coax the child."

Lian Qingmei got out of bed and hugged the child to comfort him, but the child was still crying. There was no use feeding the child with milk. Lian Qingmei also felt sorry for the child, but she didn't know why the child was crying.

But for a moment the child was still crying.

"If you cry again, I'll throw him over to my mother's place. It's been so noisy every day that I can't even sleep well." Gu Wei mumbled. It was obvious that he didn't like this child disturbing him to sleep.

"This is my child!" Lian Qingmei finally had a tough attitude. She looked at Gu Wei and said word by word, "I bring the child during the day, but you never hugged him. What's wrong with him crying now? Didn't you coax him before?"

"What am I, a man, doing to a child?" Gu Wei didn't feel that he was wrong.

"It's not like you're going to work. It's fine if you sleep badly. Mom and dad are both so old, but you're still throwing Zhi to Mom. Can Mom and Dad really take it?" Lian Qingmei was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Wei's words, so she couldn't help but speak in a more serious tone.

Gu Wei swore, "They're all my men, I'll do whatever I want, it's none of your business!"

The two of them argued louder and louder until Gu Qingzi finally lost all sleepiness. She just got up, put on her clothes and went outside for a while.

Fortunately, it was already the beginning of April, and the night wasn't too cold either. Gu Qingzi's small body didn't feel uncomfortable yet. As she walked, Gu Qingzi left the Gu household and walked to the river in the woods. She sat on a rock, looking at the moon above her, unconsciously dozing off.

"Ah, Big Brother Jia, be a bit more gentle."

Gu Qingzi was scared out of her wits. She rubbed her arms. Why did this sound sound so familiar?

"Mhmm, hmm, hmm."

This... Who was clapping for love? Gu Qingzi crept towards the direction of the sound and sneaked a peek. It was really Lee Chunqiao. However, it was that man, Jia Faang!

Gu Qingzi sighed inwardly. She really did not expect the two of them to be together.

If it wasn't for her taking a stroll when she had nothing better to do, this place wouldn't be easily discovered. She turned around and left, but her heart was at ease. The one who pushed her into the river was Lee Chunqiao.

After returning to her room, she just couldn't sleep. Lee Chunqiao had been humiliated by Jia Faang before, so didn't she hate Jia Faang the most? How could they be together with him? And Jia Faang, didn't he look down on Lee Chunqiao's family for being poor?

She remembered that Lee Chunqiao was the daughter of a widow, so her identity as the daughter of the Gu family was not as good as Jia Faang's stupid mind.

Gu Qingzi's heart was full of questions. In the end, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Four or five days passed just like that.

This time, Jia Faang was fully prepared to come to the Gu family. He looked at Old Man Gu with a gentle smile: "Old Gu, I think I've already given enough time. It's just that the gift is refunded."

This kind of smiling face made Gu Qingzi want to pour hot oil on him. It was really disgusting.

Old Man Gu was in a difficult position. It wasn't that he didn't want to give them, but that he had spent the betrothal gift and was unable to give them back.

"Little Jia, this, can you give us some more time?" Old Man Gu thought to himself, with hands and feet, one could never starve to death. Just wait a few more days.

"Old Gu," Jia Faang's voice dragged out a long shout, then turned aggressive, "I've already given the Gu family two breaks, according to the rules, if Sanniang doesn't marry you, you can't touch the betrothal gift. Since you can't move, you should be able to return it.

Rules were rules, but people couldn't let rules starve to death. Old Man Gu had indeed used a betrothal gift.

Gu Qingzi couldn't bear to see her father being forced into such a state. "Three nights ago, we let bygones be bygones."

Jia Faang was stunned. He thought for a while and frowned, "Sanniang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a single word?"

"Pretend, right?" Gu Qingzi curled her lips in disdain. "You know very well what dirty thing you've done. You don't need me to point it out. I'm just giving you some face, don't throw it away."

Jia Faang snapped open the fan in his hand and said gently, "What San Niang said isn't right. I study at home every night, but San Niang doesn't sleep in the middle of the night. Why are you going into the woods?"

"Not admitting to it?" Gu Qingzi wasn't afraid at all, because she was certain that Jia Faang cared about face and reputation.

"Sanniang, don't do something too stupid. It's not worth it." When Jia Faang said this, he had a pained expression, as if he had done something shameful.

"You're not afraid of being shameless. What am I afraid of? Tonight, you will be able to hear my words." Gu Qingzi's meaning was that she wanted to make the matter known.

"Gu Qingzi!" Jia Faang's voice suddenly became louder. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Qingzi, "If you continue to slander my reputation, I will go and request Li Zhengzheng to prove my innocence! "Please uphold justice for me."

Gu Qingzi was not afraid at all as she enunciated each word clearly, "Justice is in the heart of men; one's straight body is not afraid of shadows. Even if you call me straight, there is only one shameless person." Gu Qingzi raised her eyebrows and looked at Jia Faang.

"You …" Jia Faang didn't say the second word and left, so he didn't pursue the matter.

Old Man Gu looked suspiciously at Gu Qingzi. "My daughter, do you really not have one?"

"I'm not afraid of being righteous." Gu Qingzi reassured Old Man Gu.

Old Man Gu also understood that Gu Qingzi's words were true. Otherwise, Jia Faang wouldn't have left just like that. "He's really in the woods …"

"Yes." Gu Qingzi lowered her head and answered …

"I've wronged you. It's a good thing that you haven't married. It's fine if you don't want a man like him." Old Man Gu now felt that Jia Faang's character was bad and felt glad for his daughter.

"It's alright, it's all in the past now." Gu Qingzi was open-minded and didn't trust him.

"It's a good thing you're thick-skinned. Which daughter is like you? That's also good." Seeing that Gu Qingzi wasn't sad, Old Man Gu couldn't help but sigh.
