The little girl said she was ten years old, but she looked like a generation behind him. How could he want to? In addition, Wu Qingyi was also open-minded, and he had long thought that since he had such a fate, he would live alone for a lifetime. Anyway, his parents were young, and they could always add children to the family and continue the incense.
But Mrs. Wang had spent the money, so naturally she refused to do any money-losing business. She only said that she should keep Gu Yin at home first. If he didn’t like her when she got old, she would be married off from their home as a daughter.
After three years of being treated well, Gu Yin finally changed from the poor and weak appearance, and grew into a beautiful girl.
Mrs. Wang was full of joy, and only felt that the four taels of silver she spent were worth it. As far as Gu Yin’s appearance was concerned, not to mention the eight villages in ten miles, there were few people in the county who were more beautiful than her.
It was also in that year that the imperial court suddenly began to recruit strong men into the army to attack the rebels. If there was no money to bribe the officials, many men had to go to the battlefield desperately.
At that time, Mrs. Wang, who was pregnant, was burning with fire, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch her man and eldest son being recruited.
Before parting, Mrs. Wang insisted that Wu Dalang and Gu Yin worship heaven and earth to marry.
Wu Qingyi could be regarded as self-restrained and observant, and did not do anything to Gu Yin that night on entering the bridal chamber, and said to her with guilt, “Mother is still pregnant, and my father and I are leaving, I am afraid she would not be able to bear it. So I had to agree with her. I am going to have a lot of misfortune, and this is just an expedient measure to fulfill my mother’s wish. If I come back, I will naturally treat you well for a lifetime. If I don’t come back or die, in two years you can get married. My mother is soft-hearted, and naturally she will not embarrass you at that time.”
Wu Qing had been in school for a few years, and when he spoke, he spoke eloquently. After a sudden change in his home, Gu Yin was even more dazed. She didn’t understand the meaning of his words at all. In her heart, she responded with a heavy voice.
Half a year later, Mrs. Wang gave birth to a young son, named Wu An. Since then, the three of them had depended on each other for life. Although life was hard, in the end, Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin were both able to work, and they finally survived for five years.
However, the wews came saying that the army of the imperial court on the front line was completely wiped out by the rebels.
Wasn’t it the front line where Father Wu and Wu Qingyi were recruited?
Although Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin were already mentally prepared, they were so shocked that they fainted when they heard the news.
Mrs. Wang’s body was in good shape, and she woke up after a while after fainting. Poor Gu Yin couldn’t stand things when she was young, so she fell ill.
A high fever broke out, and modern Gu Yin passed through.
After sorting out her thoughts, Gu Yin couldn’t help sighing.
As a modern person, she had read a lot of novels and TV dramas about transmigration.
But in general, even if she didn’t become a lady or a noble girl (that’s the court marquis novels), she must have a younger brother/fiancé who was dedicated to the imperial examination (that’s the imperial examination novels).
Well, she transmigrated as a child bride and a little widow, but she had a little brother-in-law Wu An. He had undergone great changes since he was born. He was five years old now, but had not read a day, still illiterate.
No matter how difficult it was, they were supposed to think about the road ahead!
Gu Yin couldn’t help but sigh again.
At that moment, the door of the house creaked open, and a woman in a cloth skirt came in.
The woman looked less than forty, and her face was still somewhat youthful, but she had long eyebrows and dangling eyes, and there were two gully-like decree lines on her face, which added a lot of years. It was the original owner’s adoptive mother and mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang put the medicine bowl on the table heavily, and when she saw her, she scolded, “I heard you sigh dozens of times in the room in less than a stick of incense.”
Immediately, Mrs. Wang thought that her man and eldest son should be gone, so wouldn’t she suffer a great disaster? But the head of the family didn’t act like Gu Yin, and she became more impatient, her face became a bit more fierce, and she slapped the table and said in a vicious tone, “Get up and take your medicine, why are you still waiting for me to serve you?”
It turned out that Gu Yin was very afraid of Mrs. Wang.
