176 Chapter 176 A Scheme

“I won’t marry Tian Jiawang no matter what. You can marry him if you dare agree on my behalf, as I don’t want to be poor for the rest of my life.” Chunhong straightened her neck and replied.

When she was working in the manor, she saw what the most important thing in village life was. It was land, which was the foundation of not having to worry about food and drink.

Therefore, Gu Chengzhi, who was talented, good-looking, and had a lot of lands, fit her requirements the best.

As for Tian Jiawang, although he had a job and no parents or children, he looked like a bear. He still had three worthless family members to raise; at most, she wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink. She would probably have to save up for a long time if she wanted to buy a decent piece of clothing, which was why she didn’t want to marry him.

In her daze, she did not notice Widow Hua’s face darkening, and her eyes were disappointed. Then, she slapped her daughter’s face. “It seems like I’ve spoiled you too much.”

“You!” Chunhong covered her face, burning from the slap, and looked at Widow Hua in disbelief.

She roared aggrievedly, “You’re simply being unreasonable!”

After that, she turned around and ran out.

“Come back here!” Widow Hua quickly chased after her.

Not only did Chunhong not return, but she ran faster and faster. Finally, she rushed into the Tian family’s house and roared at Sister Tian, who was in a daze. “You should give up! I will never marry into your family, even if I die!”

After that, she turned around and ran up the mountain.

Sister Tian was stunned and confused. What was she talking about?

However, she soon remembered that her best friend, Widow Hua, had asked her what she thought of Chunhong.

To be honest, she didn’t like Chunhong’s arrogant personality, but for her friend’s sake, she only nodded and praised her daughter.

She hadn’t expected…

She ran after her immediately, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw her running up the mountain. She was afraid that something would happen to Chunhong, and she couldn’t explain it to her friend. Thus, she had no choice but to turn and run to Widow Hua’s house.

She had no idea she’d run into Widow Hua when she turned into an alley she had to pass through. She quickly pulled onto her and urged, “Chunhong ran up the mountain.”

“What? That wretched girl is getting more and more disobedient.” At this point, Widow Hua wanted to ask Sister Tian to help chase after her daughter.

However, when she thought about how Chunhong rejected her, she immediately swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. She just thanked Sister Tian and ran up the mountain.

Sister Tian shook her head when she saw this. At the same time, she was glad that Chunhong did not agree to the marriage, or she might have harmed her brother.

Chunhong’s rebellious situation also reminded her that she shouldn’t spoil her daughter too much, or it would be troublesome in the future.

After Chunhong ran into the mountains, she didn’t walk far before she met Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye. When she saw the two brothers checking out the mountain, her eyes flashed, and she had an idea.

She quietly walked over and stopped about a hundred feet away from them. She deliberately twisted her foot and shouted, “Oh, help!”

She shouted a few more times just in case they couldn’t hear her.

The Gu brothers, busy digging through the soil, paused when they heard the shouts. They looked at each other and ran up the mountain, where they saw Chunhong struggling to get up.

The two brothers looked at each other, but neither stepped forward.

This was because they had seen too many conspiracies and schemes for marriage in the capital.

Chunhong had been trying to get close to Gu Chengye all this time, but the Gu family didn’t want her. So, both brothers felt this was probably another trick of hers, trying to take advantage of an opportunity to cling to Gu Chengye.
