Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 923: Worse Than Death

Back when he wandered with Mrs. Cui, the old woman used to call her Sister Min, and after Gu Dashan heard it, he called her Min Niang, and kept calling her that for twenty years.

"Dear, you’re awake." Mrs. Cui was overjoyed when she heard Gu Dashan’s voice, ran over, and asked, "How do you feel? Does your chest hurt?"

When he came home today, he was clutching his chest and spat out blood, his entire face turned from pale to gold paper, he looked like he was about to pass away, nearly scared them to death.

Gu Dashan pulled at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It doesn’t hurt, just a bit tired, don’t worry."

As he spoke, he hugged Mrs. Cui, choking up, "Min Niang, I’m sorry, I realized too late, if I had seen his true face earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much."

He wasn’t a good husband, not a good father, he let his wife and children suffer too much. If it weren’t for Xiao Yu and Good Brother An, this family would have been ruined by the Old Gu Family long ago.

Mrs. Cui hugged him, gently patting his back, "It’s okay, now our family is well, and getting better, don’t dwell on the past."

She understood Gu Dashan’s feelings towards Elder Gu, after all, they were father and son, deep down he always held some hope, thinking as long as he was obedient, earned money for the family, and showed filial piety to Elder Gu, Elder Gu would see his good side.

But Elder Gu was heartless, treated him poorly all his life, even now he doesn’t repent, just wants to keep clinging to Dashan, sucking his blood.

Gu Dashan didn’t speak anymore, the room became silent, Mrs. Cui was afraid he’d feel sad, wanting to comfort him, but then she realized her neck was wet.

Gu Dashan cried, after holding it in for so long, he hugged Mrs. Cui, tears flowed fiercely, but he didn’t howl, just occasionally let out a few cries. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Mrs. Cui knew he was hurting inside, needed to have a good cry, she didn’t say anything, just held him, silently crying with him.

Gu Dashan cried for nearly an hour, finally tired, he was relieved, embarrassedly said to Mrs. Cui, "I’ve made you look at a joke."

Mrs. Cui glared at him playfully, took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, "We’re old couple now, still saying this kind of thing, getting better means more than anything."

She just feared he’d keep it inside, and bottle it up to the point of spitting blood again.

Gu Dashan said, "Don’t worry, I won’t think of it anymore, it’s not worth it."

Maybe he was destined to be without fatherly ties in this life, if so, then he wouldn’t seek it, just hold onto his wife and children to get by.

After saying this he remembered the four children, asked, "Where’s Brother Cheng and the others? Hope they weren’t scared?"

Brother Cheng was young, Sister Xiu timid, he worried his sudden vomiting blood would frighten them.

Mrs. Cui shook her head, "They’ve grown up, not so easily scared now, rest and recover, don’t worry about them."

Gu Dashan felt somewhat relieved, then asked about Gu Jinli, "Xiao Yu? She didn’t run out at night, did she? That girl’s temper is strong, I’m afraid she’d run to settle accounts with Ms. Zhang."

Mrs. Cui said, "No, before sleeping she came by, don’t worry about her."

Though saying this, Mrs. Cui felt uneasy inside, wondering if Xiao Yu really went to settle accounts with Ms. Zhang.

Mrs. Cui, indeed Gu Jinli’s mother, understood her daughter well, and Gu Jinli did sneak out, she was now sitting in Ms. Zhang’s room watching Daqing torture Ms. Zhang.

Daqing followed Gu Jinli’s orders, inserted thin long needles into the gaps by the ribs under Ms. Zhang’s armpits, and her waist.

These are the most painful places on the body, and the needles were coated with medicinal powder, the pain doubled, Ms. Zhang was in so much pain she nearly fainted.

But Gu Jinli wouldn’t let her faint, before torture had given her pills to keep her conscious during the ordeal.

Ms. Zhang hoarsely screamed, tortured for four hours before the bag covering her head was removed, she saw Gu Jinli: "It’s, it’s you... How dare you, you wretched girl..."

With two loud slaps, Gu Jinli slapped Ms. Zhang twice, sneering coldly, "How dare I do this to you, huh? Don’t worry, I not only dare to torture you, I dare to kill you, I came tonight to take your pathetic life!"

With that, a thud sounded, she kicked Ms. Zhang in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Who gave you the guts, still daring to scheme against my family today? Did you think your fate was good after nothing happened when the mule cart rolled over last time?" Gu Jinli laughed, her laughter chilly and cruel, "Your family’s lives are in my hands, I can choose your deaths anytime. Originally, I only planned to sacrifice Gu Youfu from your house to the gods, but you insisted on courting death, so don’t blame me."

Ms. Zhang was terrified, exclaiming, "Was it you who crippled Youfu?"

Gu Jinli nodded, "Yes, it was me."

Ms. Zhang shivered upon hearing, questioning Gu Jinli, "This, this is murder, how dare you do such a thing?!"

Gu Jinli laughed, "Why wouldn’t I dare? I not only dared to kill Gu Youfu, I also dare to kill you."

Smiling, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, stabbing Ms. Zhang once, though not in a vital spot, just piercing her arm, it was enough to terrify Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang was utterly terrified, begging for mercy in spite of her hand injury, "Xiao Yu, I was wrong, I was wrong. Spare me, as long as you spare me, I’ll leave with that old man tomorrow, never bothering your family again."

Gu Jinli shook her head, uttering two words, "Too late."

Then chuckling, "Don’t worry, you won’t die tonight, you’ll keep living, just living worse than death."

This was more terrifying than killing Ms. Zhang outright, Ms. Zhang nearly went insane, fearfully asking, "What, what do you mean?"

Daqing said, "The needles piercing you are tainted with poison, your body will deteriorate, until eventually your organs rot with worms, and you’ll die."

Your organs will rot with worms, and you’ll die!

Upon hearing this, Ms. Zhang shuddered, nearly vomiting, after trembling for a moment, she glared at Gu Jinli, "Liar, you’re deceiving me, right? Is there really such poison in the world?"

Gu Jinli laughed, with deep meaning, "You’ll know tomorrow."

After saying this, she signaled Daqing, who chopped Ms. Zhang to faint.

After dealing with Ms. Zhang, Gu Jinli went to see Elder Gu for Gu Youfu.

She didn’t show courtesy, upon arrival she fiercely beat them, taking the plank Qin San Lang handed over, and ferociously slapped Elder Gu’s old face, making him scream, looking at her as if seeing a ghost.

This, this was Gu Xiaoyu? Gu Dashan’s second daughter? How could this wretched girl dare hit him? Wasn’t he her biological grandfather!

After slapping, Gu Jinli felt thoroughly refreshed, looked at Elder Gu, "You old bastard, being cuckolded your whole life by Granny Gu without saying a word, just dare bullying my dad, think my family is the same as before? Since you’re courting death, I’ll have to ruin you, let you taste misery worse than death."

Being beaten and cursed, Elder Gu cried while glaring at Gu Jinli, squeezing out two words through clenched teeth, "You die..."

Before he could finish, his mouth was slammed again with the plank, knocking out his old front teeth.

After slapping, Gu Jinli said to Daqing, "Daqing, give them the pills."

"Yes." Daqing took out two muzzle pills, each fed one to the trembling Elder Gu and Gu Youfu.

Gu Youfu was nearly scared to death, thinking he’d been poisoned, directly fainting in fear.

Gu Jinli clicked her tongue, "Truly useless."

Elder Gu had never seen such a ferocious Gu Jinli, he looked at her trembling.

However, Gu Jinli had even more ferocity, after dealing with them, she let people handle Gu Chengli next door.

Handling Gu Chengli was much simpler and rougher, she let You An and others violently beat Gu Chengli, then took all the silver notes Third Grandma gave them, and eighty taels of silver from the Old Gu Family.

Without silver, for Elder Gu and them, it was like the sky falling.
