Crossing the Nine Zeros: Becoming the Almighty Stepmother of the Three Villains

Chapter 21 Romantic Tragedy

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Gu said angrily.

Gu Ling turned his back, took a deep breath, and after sorting out his emotions, he returned to his original appearance.

"I said, you can never control me. And don't try to stop me from being with anyone."

"You... I'm your mother, and I'm all for your own good."

Some people are good at doing things that hurt others in the name of being nice to you.

"You're always doing it for your own good."

After Gu Ling scolded his mother coldly, he dragged Lin Shanyue out of the canteen.

The two of them stopped at the head of the only arched bridge in the town.

Lin Shanyue could clearly feel Gu Ling's anger, as well as an inexplicable and painful sadness.

The two stood quietly for a long time, facing the scorching sun, standing under the willow tree and enduring the enthusiastic "torture" of the sun father-in-law.

"Why don't you ask me what happened?"

At such a time, whether it is to ease the atmosphere, or anything else, it should be comforting, even if it is a few words of reassurance.

"If you want to talk, I will listen."

Needless to say too much, the pain hidden in Gu Ling's heart is ready to come out.

With his back to Lin Shanyue, he said calmly, "My mother is an extremely feudal person, so don't take what she says to heart."

"It's okay, I'm not that kind of stingy person."

Lin Shanyue seems to have an aura that transcends the mundane, no matter what happens, it seems that nothing can stir up waves in her heart.

She is like a bottomless sea, whose end cannot be seen at a glance, and its depth cannot be guessed, and she dare not explore deeply.

"I want to tell a story."

"Well, I'm listening."

Gu Ling leaned on the wall at the end of the bridge, and said to himself: "I once had a younger sister, she was beautiful, cute, and innocent...but she is gone..."

Lin Shanshan listened quietly, and he narrated a romantic tragedy in a soft voice.

From his mouth, Lin Shanyue learned such a story.

Gu Ling's younger sister is Gu Xue, 19 years old, lively and cheerful, with a pure personality... But, this is only in front of Gu Ling.

Because Gu's mother is extremely feudal, she doesn't like her daughter, and thinks that having a daughter is a loser, and she will marry someone else's family after all.

Therefore, even if the family has a lot of money and can't run out of money, they are reluctant to give a little bit to Gu Xue.

Gu Ling has been doted on by thousands of people, and he grew up surrounded by stars. He is also a child of the Gu family, but Gu Xue has never felt the warmth of home, and lives at home like a nanny.

Her childhood was extremely miserable, she didn't get any love from her parents, she didn't get a candy or a new dress.

Every time there is a party or dinner at home, she has to hide in the kitchen.

Despite this, she is still born in the sun, never feels wronged, never complains about herself, and even feels lucky to be born in this family.

Because, she has an elder brother who loves her dearly, an elder brother who holds her in the palm of his hand and takes care of her, and an elder brother who has endured countless beatings for her.

Gu Ling thought, if he had been treated like this, he would definitely not be able to survive, or in other words, would definitely resist desperately, but his sister did not.

He never saw her cry, never saw her angry, never saw her complain.

In this way, he thought she was happy, happy, and positive... until, one day, his sister said that she liked someone.

She said, "Brother, I want to elope with him."

Gu Ling couldn't imagine that his little sister, who didn't care about worldly affairs, would fall in love one day and do such an earth-shattering thing.

"What kind of person is he?"

Gu Xue raised her head with a happy look on her face. "He was very nice to me and made me feel warm."

"Xiaoxue, no matter what, I hope you are happy."

"I'm very happy now and now," she said.

After talking that day, my sister disappeared the next day.

Gu Ling learned from his family members that his sister and that person had left, gone far away, and would never come back again.

She didn't even leave a letter.

Although sad, he was happy for her. This home was a magic cave for her. It was a good thing that she could leave.

But the sister's departure annoyed Gu's father and Gu's mother. They were furious and cursed all day long.

Because, Gu Xue's doing so made the Gu family ridiculed by the leader, ruined the Gu family's atmosphere, and affected the Gu family's dignity, prestige, and prestige.

The Gu family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and one week later, Gu Xue came back at night, she became destitute, her face was sallow and red, and she was wearing coarse linen clothes.

She was locked in the firewood room by Gu's mother, and no one was allowed to deliver food unless she promised not to leave again.

It turned out that it was Gu's father's friend who wanted to marry the Gu family. If Gu Xue left, the marriage would not be allowed.

"I'm doing it for your own good. I've heard it all. That man has children. How can you hang out with such a person? In the future, you will marry into your father's friend's house, and you will be prosperous and rich all your life. You can't even figure this out? "

Gu's mother kept saying that it was her best, but she was also the one who treated Gu Xue the worst.

In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, Gu Ling brought a bowl of chicken over to her. Through the small window, he finally saw her.

"Xiaoxue, is it worth it?"

Gu Xue gave him an unexpected answer, her pale face was filled with a flowery smile, "It's worth it, the past week was the happiest moment for me."

At this moment, he was confused, and suddenly his brain was rusted, and he couldn't turn it. He didn't understand what his sister was planning.

"You obey your mother first, and I will find a way to let you out."

The smile gradually froze and then disappeared, and a voice of unfathomable despair reached Gu Xue's ears: "Brother, I have obeyed countless times."

"But this time is different, I will do my best to help you, you believe in brother."

The chicken soup was cold, and so was the chicken, Gu Xue would rather be hungry than touch any food in the bowl.

She nodded with a smile. "Well. I see, you go back and rest."

Gu Xue has never been to school for a day in her life, and the few knowledge she has is taught by her brother.

She has no knowledge, but has a rich mind.

All things are equal in the world, it will be dark at night, the sun will come out during the day, and the trees will take root in spring...without special exceptions.

Why is she an exception?Just because she is a daughter?

Gu Xue never figured this out.

Gu Ling had always been cowardly before. He fought for his sister countless times, but he didn't try his best every time. Whenever his parents got angry, he could only obediently compromise.

Until... until I lost it, I didn't know how regretful it was.

Just when he made up his mind to help his sister out of the sea of ​​suffering, her sister left.

She committed suicide by using the broken bowls he brought, and the firewood room was flooded with blood, and the blood stains left behind could not be wiped away.

Sadly, the younger sister didn't even have a funeral, so she was buried casually.

Gu Ling's sister's departure hit Gu Ling hard, so he suffered from severe depression. He didn't eat or drink every day, just stared out the window in a daze.

Gu's mother only had such a son, and she couldn't tolerate any accidents with him.

Therefore, she followed the doctor's advice to keep him away from depressive factors, and then sent him to live in Qinghe Town, his ancestor's hometown.

There was less disturbance in the villages and towns, and the living environment was simple, so Gu Ling's condition gradually improved.

"Do you think I'm particularly cowardly? I hate myself too. If I stand in front of her resolutely and resist their injustice, maybe... everything will be different. "

In this era, patriarchal thoughts are very serious. Lin Shanyue was so shocked that she couldn't imagine that such a simple and lively girl, her age, lived such a life.

She is still a child of a rich family?

What about ordinary people?I'm afraid it's more than that.

Lin Shanyue patted him on the shoulder cautiously and said, "You are already very brave."

It will take at least 20 years to gradually reverse this kind of thinking, not overnight.
