The Daughter of the General's Gate: The Genius Little Meng Fei

Chapter 20 Pushing Her Into the River
When the letter arrived in Gu Qianli's hands, it was the midsummer of July, a few months before her third birthday, and she still couldn't read all the characters, so Liancheng read the letter to her, and she giggled happily.

For Gu Qianli, Li Jinhong is the most familiar stranger in her life. I heard that she met twice when she was a child, but she was too young to remember him at all. She just kept hearing him from Qingping and Liancheng. She was very happy when she heard how much he valued her and how much he cared for her. Looking at his portrait and thinking that she would be able to see the real person of her beautiful brother in a few months.

But neither brother nor sister noticed one thing. Gu Qianxue stared at Gu Qianli through the crack of the door like a sharp weapon for murder. When she heard that Li Yan was coming to see Gu Qianli, all her thoughts His sanity has been burned by jealousy and anger.

That day Gu Liancheng went to school with Lu Zhenbang early in the morning. Qingping saw that the weather was very hot, so she told Gu Qianxue to take good care of her younger sister and not to follow her to the fields, for fear of spoiling them in the sun.

Gu Qianxue fully agreed: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

In the past two years, Qingping has seen that Gu Qianxue did not continue to cause trouble, and she has let go of her precautions. After all, she is her own daughter, so she naturally thinks that she is a good child if she made a mistake and corrected it, so she went out wearing a straw hat.

When she left, Gu Qianxue began to scold Gu Qianli.

"Gu Qianli, look at you, you are a waste. My mother works so hard every day and is busy outside. As for you, you will enjoy the happiness at home and can't do anything. It's really annoying."

Gu Qianli huddled in the corner as usual and let her scold her. She knew that as long as her mother and brother were away, this elder sister would hate her very much and would always find various reasons to scold her, so she just ignored her as usual.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Qianxue became even angrier, "Did you hear what I said, trash, you are three years old, why are you still so stupid, you don't know how to share some housework for your mother. Hurry up, Take the basket and follow me to the river to fish for dried shrimps, the chickens and ducks haven’t been fed yet, and the duck eggs are all for you to eat, so you can’t just eat without working.”

Gu Qianli replied cautiously: "Sister, mother said that when she and brother are away, let us not go to far places."

"What, you don't listen to me, right? You just want to be lazy, you slob, you won't be allowed to eat eggs in the future." Gu Qianxue lost her temper.

Gu Qianli looked at her and couldn't help but said angrily: "No, I didn't want to be lazy, don't you often eat eggs? Don't you also not work all day, when mother cooks, I help When it comes to lighting a fire, you just sit around all day and say you'll get your clothes dirty."

Gu Qianxue was left speechless by what she said, and she became more and more emboldened. She usually scolded her a few times but kept silent, but now she has learned to talk back.

Seeing that the hard one won't work, she thought of another way to make it soft, "Li'er, look at how hard your mother is every day, so let's help her with some housework. She must be very happy when she comes back, and we won't go far away." , isn’t it just in the small river at the entrance of the village. Last time Zhenbang and the others took a basket and put some rice in it before sinking it with stones, and after a while they went to catch a lot of small fish.”

Gu Qianli was very tempted to hear that, usually when Lu Zhenbang and the others went to the river to swim and have fun, the mother always refused to let her go, saying that she was too young, if they could catch some small fish and shrimps and feed them to the chickens, maybe the mother would think that she was already gone. When she grows up, she can help with work, and next time she can follow her brothers to play everywhere.

"Okay then, let's go and come back early, so that when Mother comes home and finds we're not there, she will be worried." Gu Qianli agreed to Gu Qianxue's proposal for the first time, but she didn't know that her fate was here. A moment takes a turning point forever.

The two went out with a bamboo basket, and Gu Qianxue sprinkled some rice grains into it, and then led Gu Qian out of the door.

Gu Qianli was wearing a bright yellow dress with two pink hair ropes tied, a pair of light pink embroidered shoes made by Qingping herself, with a few small flowers embroidered on them, the whole person looked fresh and tender like winter jasmine.

It is rare to come out for a trip, she is like a bird flying out of the cage, it is true that Qingping usually controls her very strictly, always letting her stay at home to study and read, she never understands why her sister and brother can go around freely It's not good to play with her. In fact, Qingping didn't dare to let her go out because she was worried that she would be hurt or have an accident and would be sorry for her deceased wife.

The two came to the small river, the weather was relatively hot, people usually get up early to work in the fields, and stay at home to escape the heat at noon, but there was no one by the river at this point, Gu Qianxue couldn't help but secretly happy.

She put a small stone in the small basket, sank the basket, then turned around and said to Gu Qianli: "My sister is going to relieve her hand, you hold the rope first, and wait for my sister to come back and pull it up. There will be a lot of small fish and shrimp caught."

Gu Qianli was very excited, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely hold on tight and won't let go."

She came out to experience life for the first time, and she was very happy. She always thought that she must do this well this time, so that her sister would not scold her as a useless person. She also wanted to write a letter to Li Jinhong. He said he could catch fish.

Gu Qianxue took a few steps to the grass behind, then sneaked back, looking at Gu Qianli's young back, she was cruel, and said silently: "Don't blame me, it's all your fault , You killed your parents, go and reunite with them now." After she finished speaking, she pushed Gu Qianli into the water from behind.

Gu Qianli was suddenly pushed into the river by a force behind her, and she screamed in fright, "Sister, save me, save me quickly." She struggled desperately in the water, holding tightly to a piece of water by the river with one hand. The other hand did not forget to hold the colorful rope of the bamboo basket. During the struggle, the basket turned over and the stones in it fell out, and the rice grains sank into the water, causing small fish in the water to fight for a while.

At this time Gu Qianxue stood in front of her and looked at her coldly, the frost in her eyes made Gu Qianli startled: "Gu Qianli, don't blame me, blame your brother Hong, you stole I don't care about the love Liao Niang and Lian Cheng have for me, but you stole my favorite brother Jin Hong, as long as you are not around, he will forget you, as long as you are not around, he will honor the promise with the Gu family The marriage promised since childhood will marry me."

Looking at the so-called sister by the river, Gu Qianli felt heartache for the first time, "Why? You are my sister? How could you hurt me like this? Mother won't forgive you if she finds out."

"Haha, mother, she is just your aunt, and I am her biological daughter. Hasn't she suffered enough for you these years? If you die, she will be relieved, and she won't have to give you more money to support you." A good life is desperately earning money, even if she knows that I have harmed you, so what, can you say that she can kill her own daughter?"

Gu Qianli watched in despair as Gu Qianxue kicked her hand holding the water plant. She couldn't hold it anymore under the severe pain, and finally let go of the hope of saving her life. After a while, she followed the color in her hand The rope and the bamboo basket floated down the current and disappeared before Gu Qianxue's eyes.
