Reincarnation: The Sweet Wife Is A Miracle Doctor-Chapter 241 - 242: Severing Ties 3
The Gu Family members cannot even lift their heads, with Wang Ying lamenting and crying daily in the courtyard about how she regretted having birthed Gu Nianyang, this pest!
If she had known that this damned girl would grow up to be a scourge and turn the Gu Family into the village’s tumor, she should’ve risked death to abort this damned girl from her belly.
Then they wouldn’t have wasted a piece of family land, and she wouldn’t have been left with a range of gynecological issues, never feeling well.
Gu Youlan, on the other hand, was in a pretty good mood. Although Gu Nianyang’s misfortune had slightly worsened her reputation, what did that matter compared to her being known as a murderer?
Seeing Gu Nianyang fall to such a miserable end, she felt that all the suffering she’d endured before was worth it now, and the whole world felt bright and sunny.
Gu Nianyang killed someone, and will definitely be executed; when she’s dead, Gu Youlan will once again be the village’s beauty under everyone’s gaze!
Since learning that Nianyang had killed someone and was locked up, Gu Yuandao had been shutting himself in his room, puffing on his tobacco pipe in deep thought for the past few days.
He’d originally planned to keep the secret that Gu Nianyang was not his and Wang Ying’s biological daughter for the rest of his life, so that Gu Nianyang would have to support them in the future.
But who knew Gu Nianyang would be so worthless, running amok outside and ending up killing someone? These days, murder is an outrageous crime that shakes the heavens!
Gu Nianyang’s death was one thing, but it also brought disgrace upon the Gu Family.
The Gu Family graveyard had passed down ten generations of a good name and couldn’t be tarnished by a wild child!
Besides, the family of the person who was killed might come to the Gu Family for compensation!
That’s what worried Gu Yuandao the most; he had no money to compensate, and even if he did, he wouldn’t waste it compensating for a wild child — he’s no fool!
Thus, Gu Yuandao decided to reveal Gu Nianyang’s parentage.
He first gathered Wang Ying and Gu Youlan, and disclosed Gu Nianyang’s origins, though for the sake of his reputation, he claimed that Nianyang was picked up rather than secretly taken from someone else.
Gu Youlan and Wang Ying were dumbfounded at the time, and Wang Ying immediately broke down.
"Old Gu, what are you saying? That damned girl isn’t my daughter? Then where’s my daughter? How could you pick up a wild child and make us raise her for free!"
"You silly woman, why are you shouting nonsense!" Gu Yuandao glared his eyes,
"You yourself were useless; our daughter died shortly after being born. The village was superstitious then, saying birthing a lifeless child was terribly unlucky, and if others found out, we’d be ostracized, so when I happened across Gu Nianyang on the road, I brought her back to raise her!"
Wang Ying heard that and it did make some sense, but she was still furious, "I always wondered why I couldn’t stand the sight of that damned girl since she was little; turns out she wasn’t my flesh and blood! Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I sold the family land to pay for over-quota birth fines and have supported her education and sustenance all these years—all that is money!"
"Alright, alright! You should be grateful Gu Nianyang isn’t our daughter; otherwise, the Gu Family’s reputation would be destroyed by her. With a murderer in the family, who would associate with us, and the family of the deceased might come for compensation, which we can’t afford!"
"Oh dear, Old Gu, what do we do now? Our family’s spent so much on that wild child already, we won’t be compensating for her."
"Let’s go find the village head, have her summon the villagers, we’ll disclose Gu Nianyang’s background, then have the village head write up an official statement to back this with her stamp, cutting Gu Nianyang off from the Gu Family’s lineage, severing ties completely!"
