Chapter 19 Watching her take.
She wouldn’t dare gouge out her eyes, but she certainly dared to slap her a few times. Now that she was home alone, she couldn’t let her fragile body be harmed!
After thinking it over, the easiest way to resist seemed to be glaring at her, a glare that sent chills down her spine!
Huang Xiangwen was indeed chilled to the bone by Gu Youyou’s glare.
Perhaps Gu Youyou herself didn’t realize how terrifying her gaze was.
Huang Xiangwen withdrew her hand, glanced at the large chests, and couldn’t bear to leave like that. She was furious and cursed, “You brat, why didn’t you die sooner? With your condition, how could you possibly use all this stuff? It’s just a waste that all this good stuff is going to that poor hunter.
Tell me, what have I gotten in return for serving you all these years? That poor hunter is only after your grandfather’s favoritism, eyeing your little bit of stuff. Once you’re gone, our family will suffer a huge loss.”
Then, Huang Xiangwen put on a smiling face and said, “Listen to your aunt, let me take everything back today, as much as I can. That way, our family can minimize our losses, right?”
If it were someone else, those last few words might have made some sense. After all, her dowry was indeed a considerable fortune for the villagers of Lianhua Village, and Gu Youyou couldn’t think of any other reason why Jin Zijin would marry her.
Unfortunately, this person was Huang Xiangwen.
Every time Gu Youyou saw her face, she couldn’t help but feel the urge to throw a bowl of sulfuric acid at her.
“Hmph, these things… don’t even think about giving them to Jin Zijin. I’d rather burn them all than give them to her.
” “Don’t even think about it, these are mine!” Gu Youyou said coldly.
“You… oh!! You little devil, I’m trying to reason with you nicely, but you won’t understand. Don’t blame your aunt for being forceful!” She looked at Gu Youyou, who was practically glued to the bed, and laughed smugly, “I’m taking them, what can you do about it? Hmph…”
With that, she deftly opened the chest and took out the finest fabrics.
While doing so, she cursed the old hag in the family for being biased. Giving all these good things to a short-lived wretched person—what’s the difference between that and giving them away for nothing?
These fabrics were part of Gu Youyou’s deceased mother’s dowry. Although they looked a bit old, they were still much better than the coarse cloth worn by ordinary people in the village.
Huang Xiangwen looked at the large chests and wanted to take more, but seeing that her hands were too heavy, she finally gave up.
Thinking to herself, “If I can’t get it this time, I’ll try again next time!”
Gu Youyou stared at her the whole time, not saying a word.
After getting the things, Huang Xiangwen glanced at Gu Youyou, cursed her bad luck, and hurriedly walked out with the things.
Just as she opened the door, she encountered someone who was raising his hand to knock.
The presence of a woman carrying a pile of things in Jin Zijing’s house obviously surprised the visitor.
He put down the firewood on his back and asked, “Second Aunt Gu, what are you doing?”
The visitor was also from Lianhua Village, and everyone knew each other. This man was named Wang Shun. During the off-season, he also liked to go hunting in the mountains with Jin Zijing. He was one of the few people Jin Zijing had a good relationship with in Lianhua Village.
Huang Xiangwen felt guilty and couldn’t answer his question for a moment. After a pause, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly
smiled and asked Wang Shun, “Wang Shun, what are you doing here again? Hunter Jin isn’t home, but his new wife is lying in bed alone!”
