Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 273: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 1

"Host, you completed the task really quickly this time!"

"Yes, after all, the original owner's identity determines that my only ending is death. The moment I clear the game, that's when I complete my mission."

Tuanzi nodded humanely, and then continued: "Host, this mission has earned 10 points, and a total of points have been earned!"

"Not bad, I can get 10 points in such a short time!" Gu Qian said in surprise.

"Of course, this has nothing to do with the time it takes the host to complete the task. This task is considered an intermediate task and is actually quite dangerous, but it is very simple for you, the host."

"Okay, okay. Then I am one step closer to success."

"Host, do you want to rest?"

"No need to rest. The last task was not difficult and did not take much time. Just give me the next task."

"Ok!"

The original owner, Gu Qian, was born in a small village in Chengguo.

Her father's name was Gu Yong, the second son in the family. Her mother's name was Li Xiuqin, who fled from famine in Linguo and was rescued by Gu Yong.

Gu Yong's parents, Gu Qian's grandfather Gu Ming and grandmother Zhao Mei, had already been looking for a match for him before he rescued Li Xiuqin.

Originally, they were very fond of the second daughter of a carpenter from the same village and had already found a matchmaker to go and propose marriage. As luck would have it, Gu Yong rescued Li Xiuqin at this time and fell in love with her at first sight.

Of course, the result was that Gu Yong insisted on marrying Li Xiuqin. They disagreed, so Gu Yong proposed to live alone and provide pension to the two elders in the family every year.

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei certainly couldn't agree. Farmers depend on the earth for their livelihood, but having land without people is not enough.

They had finally raised a boy, so naturally they hoped that he could help the family with farm work, then get married and have children, thus expanding their big family.

When I grow old and die, I can face my ancestors with dignity by looking at the incense and worship of this large family.

Seeing that Gu Yong was determined, the two elders of the Gu family had no choice but to agree to let Li Xiuqin marry into the family, but the condition was that they would not give any betrothal gift.

Although Gu Yong was not very satisfied with the result, he still agreed after being persuaded by Li Xiuqin.

The original owner's mother was a gentle person to begin with. She could not feel any resentment or even hatred towards her savior and his family.

She felt that she was alone and had nothing. It was already great that the Gu family was willing to accept her, and she didn't want to ask for anything more.

In short, it was under such circumstances that Li Xiuqin married into the Gu family.

After marriage, although Gu Yong was very good to Li Xiuqin, the two elders of the Gu family were very dissatisfied with Li Xiuqin. Gu Ming was okay, at most he didn't give them a good face.

But Zhao Mei is different. In the countryside, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law spend more time together than couples do, and mothers-in-law often use methods to torture their daughters-in-law.

When he first came in, it was just some small things, such as instructing Li Xiuqin to cook three meals a day, wash clothes for the whole family including Gu Yong's elder brother and sister-in-law, etc.

Later, Zhao Mei understood Li Xiuqin's cowardly nature and acted more boldly.

Whenever Li Xiuqin did something that didn't meet her requirements, Zhao Mei would curse her, use all kinds of dirty words at her, and even beat her.

Li Xiuqin didn't want to put Gu Yong in the middle, so she didn't say anything. But as time went by, Gu Yong still noticed the changes in Li Xiuqin.

One day, Gu Yong discovered the slap marks on Li Xiuqin's face and the bruises on her knees.

That day, an unprecedented quarrel broke out in the Gu family.

Of course, most of the time it was Gu Yong who was speaking, Zhao Mei refuted with a dark face, Gu Ming was silent, and Gu's eldest brother and sister-in-law watched the show from the side.

In the end, the quarrel ended with Gu Yong insisting on separating from the family and living on his own.

The Gu family's land was divided into three parts, one for the two elders, one for the eldest brother, and the remaining worst part was given to Gu Yong.

The remaining money of the Gu family was divided into three parts, and Gu Yong got one part.

Originally, Gu Ming did not want to give Gu Yong so much, but Gu Yong invited an elder with a very high seniority in the ancestral hall, and under his persuasion and pressure, Gu Ming had no choice but to give it.

When they divided the family, they agreed that the two elders of the Gu family would live with the eldest brother Gu Zhi and the eldest sister-in-law Zhao Yue'er. Starting from the second year after the division, Gu Yong would pay two taels of silver to the two elders every year.

In the end, Gu Yong used the money he got from Gu Ming to build a small house at the other end of the village. From then on, Li Xiuqin's life gradually improved.

In the second year after the separation, Li Xiuqin realized that she might be pregnant, and she and Gu Yong planned to go to the town for a check-up when they had time.

Coincidentally, within two days, news broke that Zhao Yue'er was pregnant.

At this time, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin both tacitly wanted to hide the news that they were about to have a baby.

After all, since the separation, the couple, especially Gu Yong, have experienced what it means to be hurt the most by the people closest to them.

The old couple of the Gu family said bad things about Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin everywhere. Being unfilial is a big taboo, but they don't care and unscrupulously destroy the reputation of Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin.

They even often took advantage of their status as elders and went to take advantage of Gu Yong when he was not at home.

Because they were her elders, Li Xiuqin could not refuse and could only let them succeed again and again.

Of course, over time, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin figured out a way to deal with them.

Whenever Gu Yong went out, Li Xiuqin would invite a big-mouthed aunt from the village to come over to her house. As time went on, she would always see the two elders from the Gu family coming over to ask for money a few times.

Li Xiuqin would always treat Zhao Mei with courtesy, and she would not get angry no matter how harshly Zhao Mei spoke.

Gradually, these things spread out, and the reputations of Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin gradually improved, while the reputations of the two elders of the Gu family and Gu Zhi and his wife became worse.

This time, Li Xiuqin and Zhao Yue'er were pregnant at the same time. If they knew about this, who knows what trouble would arise.

In this way, Li Xiuqin almost kept it a secret until her belly started to show at about four months, when it was discovered by her aunt who came to visit.

Fortunately, Li Xiuqin was cautious and never went out of the house. She was able to carry the baby safely until the ninth month of pregnancy.

However, something went wrong when the birth was about to begin.

Because Zhao Yue'er took the initiative before Li Xiuqin, the only midwife in the village was invited to the home of the head of the Gu family.

It was too late for Gu Yong to go to another village, so he could only ask a sister-in-law he knew well to stay at home to look after Li Xiuqin while he returned to the host family to hire a midwife.

When he arrived, Zhao Yue'er had already started giving birth. Gu Yong wanted to go back to see Li Xiuqin, but he was afraid that they would cause trouble and the midwife would not be able to come, so he had to continue waiting anxiously.

It was not until the evening that he finally saw the midwife come out of the room, and then the sound of a baby crying was heard.
