Chapter 1 Wedges
Dawei, Qingzhou, Qingshan Town, Zhangjiacun.

It rained heavily last night and did not stop until this morning. The green grass leaves were covered with crystal dew, waiting to be dried by the morning sun.

"Sister Yue, it rained heavily yesterday. There should be a lot of wild animals growing in the back mountains. Let's go up the mountain to look for them together."

A charming girl's voice sounded, and Zhang Jinyue recognized the owner of the voice. It was the daughter of the Li Zheng family she hated most, Zhang Jinxiu!
"I won't go." Zhang Jinyue refused without thinking.

She didn't want to go out with Zhang Jinxiu, a disgusting woman. She would make a fool of herself every time something happened. Zhang Jinxiu's fame was as if he had gone evil!
What's more, the things she got back were cheap for Zhang Cuihua and her son, and they couldn't reach her stomach at all. She was not willing to do such a thankless job!

"Oh, you are such a lazy fool! All the embroidery girls know how to go up the mountain to find wild vegetables, but you just want to eat ready-made vegetables!" Zhang Cuihua's cursing voice came, and she had already walked to the door, facing the pink jade carvings in front of her. The girl who looked like a brick said in a sticky voice: "Sister Xiu, it's rare for you to come over, come in and sit down!"

Turning around and yelling into the house: "Sister Renxiu came to you because she thinks highly of you, why don't you take Qiao? Come out quickly and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. If you can't pick a basket of mushrooms, you won't need lunch today." have eaten!"

The soundproofing of Zhang Jinyue's adobe house was not very good, so her stepmother could hear all the arrogance. She cursed in a low voice, "Old godly woman!", remembering her mother who died young, her eyes were a little red.

"What are you muttering about? Are you scolding me? Zhang Jinyue, you little brat, get out of here!"

The roar of the lion from Hedong came, Zhang Jinyue took out his ears and moved out slowly.

The first thing that catches the eye is Zhang Jinxiu's oval face lightly embellished with powder. She has a "butterfly peach blossom" hairpin on her head and a pink fairy skirt. She looks more delicate than a peach blossom.

Zhang Jinyue lowered her head and looked at the gray patchwork dress on her body, feeling a sense of inferiority in her heart.

"Aunt Zhang, then Sister Yue and I will go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, so I won't disturb you." Zhang Jinxiu stood up in time.

"Don't you want to sit there for a little longer?" Zhang Cuihua asked in an attempt to persuade her.

"No, the sun will be strong later and it will be very hot."

"Okay then." In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Jinyue still dilly-dallying, scolding him again.

Because the back mountain is close to the village, people often come here to chop down trees and collect firewood. Because it is so popular, wild animals do not come here, so it is relatively safe.At the foot of the mountain is a rushing river, bypassing the back mountain and Zhangjiacun.

The mountains climbed higher and higher, the forests were deep and dense, and the feet were covered with moss and dead leaves. In addition, it had rained, making everything slippery.

Zhang Jinxiu spoke first, "Sister Yue, believe it or not, I didn't do that on purpose. I was just worried about the little tiger getting hurt, and I didn't want to cause you to fall into the mud pit."

Zhang Jinyue became angry when she remembered that Zhang Jinxiu caused her to fall down and squat on her butt. What was even more disgusting was that Zhang Laibao also brought those little brats to laugh at her!When I got home covered in mud, I was beaten and scolded by Zhang Cuihua, an old godly woman!
This day is simply impossible!
Zhang Jinyue's eyes were about to turn red again, and she said firmly, "Who knows if you did it on purpose! You just want to make me look embarrassed and you will be happy!"

If she and Gu Yuncheng hadn't gotten close, she would have stopped playing with Zhang Jinxiu!Thinking of the tall and handsome Gu Yuncheng, Zhang Jinyue's eyes flashed with sweetness, and then became sad again.

I don’t know which girl will get the advantage in the future, but it won’t be her!

Zhang Jinxiu treated her coldly. She was used to Zhang Jinyue's bad temper, but she needed to give her a step down. Anyway, next time she would still turn into her own little tail, as a green leaf to set off her flower.

Zhang Jinyue felt frustrated when she saw Zhang Jinxiu's calm look, but she was the precious granddaughter of the Li Zheng family, so she was willing to take her with her so that she wouldn't seem to be isolated.

The road up the mountain was difficult, so the two of them helped each other move forward. Suddenly, Zhang Jinxiu's figure fell into a trance, and she stumbled. Zhang Jinyue was so frightened that she quickly helped her.Falling down from here is no fun!
"Zhang Jinyue?" Zhang Jinxiu looked up and looked at her with a strange look, "Aren't you dead?"

Zhang Jinyue was startled when he looked at her gloomy face. He was about to run away in a panic, but he forgot that he was on a mountain, so he slipped and fell down.

"what!!!"

"Falling into the water! Help!" In Zhang Jinyue's last peripheral vision, she saw Zhang Jinxiu looking at her expressionlessly, opening and closing his mouth and saying something, but she was too far away and she couldn't hear what the other party said.

"How is it? Are you all right?"

"Fortunately, the Gu family boy is here, otherwise the person would be gone."

"That's right. It rained all day yesterday, and today the road is not so good, so we still have to go up the mountain. Are we willing to risk our lives just to stutter?!"

"Oh, man and money die, birds die for food, and the court wants to raise taxes, how can we survive?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere fell over Zhangjiacun.

Zhang Cuihua squeezed into the crowd behind, feeling a little guilty, but quickly comforted herself - the idea of ​​going up the mountain to pick mushrooms was not hers, it was Zhang Jinxiu who insisted on dragging Zhang Jinyue up the mountain!

Everyone looked at the tall and handsome boy from the Gu family, with admiration in their eyes, "It rained heavily all day yesterday, and the water level in the river has risen a lot. Most people don't dare to go into the river casually to save him. people!"

"Young man Gu is handsome and skilled." The aunt onlookers praised, and everyone agreed.

For a while, it became a large-scale boasting scene for Gu Yuncheng. He stood aside expressionlessly, and the tips of his ears turned red.

Several families whose daughters were unmarried looked at the upright young man and felt a little moved in their hearts. Such a good son would ask the matchmaker to come and ask about him when he got back!
"However, the boy from the Gu family saved Sister Jinyue, and the two had a close relationship..." Before he could finish the rest of his words, everyone onlookers fell silent, knowing what he meant.

In ancient times, women's reputation was taken seriously. Men and women had different meals at seven years old.Although the people of the Wei Dynasty were open, there were still strict guardrails between men and women. Young ladies were not allowed to have physical intimacy with foreign men.

Usually when this happens, a married woman has to be dipped in a pig cage, while an unmarried woman has the decision to be made by the elders of the family. Marrying the other woman is considered a marriage.

It's just that the rules are like this. Will the Gu family agree?
Most people in Zhangjia Village are people with the surname Zhang. The Gu family moved here three years ago. A family of four built a large brick house with tiles upon settling there. Who in the village wouldn't envy them?Coupled with the Gu family's boy's appearance and figure, what kind of girl can't be chosen?

Thinking of this, someone looked at Zhang Jinyue with a trace of suspicion. Could it be intentional? "Aunt Zhang, it's all my fault. How is Sister Yue doing now?" Zhang Jinxiu was still a little confused, but when she came to her senses, she looked annoyed.

Zhang Cuihua was startled, and then she remembered that Zhang Jinxiu also went up the mountain, and Sister Xiu also apologized. Could it be that this matter had something to do with Sister Xiu... Did Sister Xiu push it?
Yes!It's all Zhang Jinyue's fault. If she wasn't always annoying people, why would Sister Xiu hurt her when others didn't?Sister Xiu'er is the granddaughter of the Li Zheng family. She is powerful in the village. It's too late for others to fawn over her, but she's just a bitch. She should learn a lesson now!
"How can we blame Sister Xiu for this? It's all because of Yue's bad fate. Otherwise, how could Sister Xiu be fine and something happened to her?" Zhang Cuihua asked hurriedly.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Jinxiu with some subtle eyes.

Zhang Jinxiu was stunned, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether Zhang did it on purpose, but as soon as she said this, she couldn't help but explain it. She might turn around and someone would come up with conspiracy theories. She would not allow her hard-working reputation to be tainted. !
"After Sister Yue and I went up the mountain, we saw Brother Yuncheng at the foot of the mountain. We were just about to say hello. Sister Yue was so excited that she didn't pay attention to her steps and fell down. I couldn't even reach out to pull her up in time." Zhang Jinyue He lowered his head, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

As soon as these words came out, some people lamented that Yue Yatou was careless, while others looked at Gu Yuncheng and smiled meaningfully.

"Although the boy from the Gu family and Sister Yue have a physical relationship, it was a desperate move to save Sister Yue's life! The Gu family is not something that ordinary people can get into. I think this matter ends here. In addition, the Gu family is not something that ordinary people can climb. , Gu Xiaozi saved his daughter, the Laizi family has to prepare a thank you gift for Gu Xiaozi!" The person who spoke was Zhang Boyuan, he was Li Zheng's second son and Zhang Jinxiu's second uncle.

I'm afraid Sister Xiu doesn't know about it yet, but he knows... The family is talking to the Gu family about the marriage between the boy from the Gu family and Sister Xiu. Before, they weren't sure whether it would happen, so they didn't announce it to the public. But now it's about to happen. It happened at this time that something like this happened!
He looked at the Gu family boy with complaints, but when he thought of the Gu family's big brick house and rich family fortune, he suppressed his anger even before it aroused.

He knows how slutty Zhang Dalai is, and the top priority now is to clear up the relationship, lest people have bad intentions and rely on Sister Xiu's fiancé!

"Second uncle, you blame me for this. Last time Sister Yue was angry with me because of Xiaohu. I wanted to apologize to her, so I made an appointment with her to go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables. Who knew that the rain fell yesterday? Heavy rain..." Zhang Jinxiu lowered her head and shed tears, looking like a gentle little white flower.

"How can I blame you? Everyone knows how bad Yue's temper is!" Zhang Boyuan felt sorry for his niece, and threw all the blame on Zhang Jinyue, who was lying on the ground and didn't know what was going on.

His eyes searched around the crowd, and he saw Zhang Cuihua hiding behind, and said loudly, "Zhang Cuihua, come out, don't hide behind and sneak around if you can! I think Yue Yatou's incident is purely due to her own carelessness, what do you mean? Woolen cloth?"

"Maybe this was accidental?" Zhang Cuihua's eyes were wandering and her face was tangled.

Sister Yue is not young anymore and is about to be married. She originally planned to save a sum of money from marrying Sister Yue for Xiaobao to use when she gets married.But the doctor in the village shook his head after seeing it. Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought about how to get the money back from other places.

She suspected that it was Zhang Jinxiu who did it, but there was no evidence. If she offended the Li Zheng family and failed to get the money, she and Xiaobao would probably have a difficult life in the village in the future!

Zhang Boyuan touched his beard and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Cuihua's unspoken answer.

He glared at Zhang Cuihua and said loudly, "Everyone knows my Jinxiu's character. He is very kind and generous, and he would never do anything harmful to others!"

No one objected to Zhang Boyuan's words. It was an accident that Zhang Jinyue's matter was determined like this!

Besides that, there was another thing. Zhang Boyuan cleared his throat and continued, "Brother Gu saved your daughter, Zhang Cuihua, can't you show some respect?"

"Here, let me tell the boss when I get back, and he will come to thank you personally."

Zhang Cuihua thought well, just put it off first, it’s normal for you to forget about it!

Besides, the Gu family boy has good intentions, who needs his kindness?Sister Yue is just a dragster. Once she is gone, she is gone. It will have no impact on her life.Money is different, money is her lifeblood!She will be anxious to anyone who wants to touch her life!
They have lived in the same village for decades, how can anyone not know each other? When Zhang Boyuan saw that Zhang Cuihua wanted to default on the debt, he was a little impatient and said, "Okay! I don't know the bad guy yet. He is as thick-skinned as a city wall." , You don’t have to bully the stock guy into being honest. Give it now, everyone is watching, so don’t even think about defaulting!"

Zhang Cuihua became a little angry when her plan was exposed, and the onlookers started to support her. This shows how unpopular Zhang Dalai's family is in the village!
"What's going on?" Hearing that someone was killed, Zhang Lizheng hurried over and saw Zhang Jinyue lying on the ground.

Everyone told what happened.

Zhang Lizheng understood what was going on after thinking about it for a moment. He cast an admiring look at the second brother's cleverness, and then said to the villagers who were watching, "Although the Gu family boy has a physical relationship with Yue Yatou, it's just a matter of urgency." The original intention of this move was to save people, so I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to bring two people together so rashly.”

"Gu boy, what do you think?"

Gu Yuncheng cupped his hands and said, "I agree with Li Zheng's point of view. There are elders in the boy's family. This marriage is naturally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

Zhang Lizheng frowned slightly, and Zhang Jinxiu interrupted at the right time: "Grandpa, Sister Yue has lost her innocence. If she doesn't marry Brother Yuncheng, will she be imprisoned in a pig cage? But Sister Yue is my best friend, can you..."

Zhang Lizheng's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Jinxiu, don't say this nonsense!"

As expected, the crowd who just thought it was reasonable now began to pity Zhang Jinyue again.

"I was supposed to be able to get married and leave the Zhang family in a few months, but now my innocence is gone...it's hard!"

"Oh, if I save you and then die again, why not not save me?"

As the person involved, Gu Yuncheng said nothing and lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Lizheng regretted hiding the matter from his granddaughter about the marriage proposal with the Gu family.Sister Xiu said this without knowing it. When the marriage proposal between her granddaughter and the boy from the Gu family comes out, she will inevitably be discussed by the villagers.

It would be best for the Gu family to refuse, so that it would not hinder Sister Xiu's reputation.Based on his understanding of Mrs. Gu, she must despise Zhang Jinyue, so this matter will definitely not work.

All they have to do here is drag it on, "Lai Bao, damn it, why do I look like Yue Yatou is in trouble? You should send her to the town hospital first! We can wait until Yue Yatou gets better!"

Zhang Cuihua is not happy, she doesn’t have to spend money to send her to the hospital!

"The doctor in the village has just looked at him and said that he is probably going to die, so what's the use of sending him to the town?"

Zhang Lizheng was even more happy when he heard this. If Yue Yatou is gone, won't this problem be solved?

But he still had a serious look on his face, and he paid for the medical treatment out of his own pocket. Who wouldn't be able to praise such a good person?
