Chapter 6: Cannon Fodder Village Girl in a Historical Fictio

Sister Defei's death wasn't my doing!""You say it wasn't you who did it, but the palace maids and eunuchs at Xihua Pavilion all saw you. You know that De Fei goes to Xihua Pavilion every three days t..."Excuse me, excuse me, folks. It's all my fault, I'm such a foolish woman. Just now, the eldest daughter-in-law ate a few eggs, and the children at home didn't get any. I felt sorry for them so I grumbled a few words, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss!"

"Don't worry everyone, you all know what kind of person I am, Li. When I get back, I'll criticize her and make sure she doesn't cause any further trouble for everyone!"

"My dear daughter, your father has always treated you like his own. If you have any grievances, tell me and I'll make things right for you. Don't do anything foolish!"

Li Erniu, with his sun-baked face tanned black and red, is honest and sincere. He portrays the image of a caring father-in-law who is fair and just to his daughter-in-law perfectly.

Gu Qian looked at the villagers who had fallen silent, somewhat dumbfounded.

She's so naive. The male lead's father looks like an honest farmer, but he's got a sharp mind! With his skillful words, he not only appeased the villagers but also made her seem unreasonable.

Who's daughter-in-law wouldn't be reprimanded After hearing a few words of scolding, she wants to jump into a well. This makes her seem narrow-minded instead.

Gu Qian's heart sneered. If Li Erniu was really as good as he showed, the original owner wouldn't be treated like a horse, not even getting a warm meal!

Isn't this just acting When she isn't

Gu Qian wiped away tears that weren't there, her voice choked with grievance: "Father, I've been sick for so long, haven't I ever delayed work I get up early and work late, and I don't even get to see a doctor or take medicine."

Well, I suppose it's only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve the whole family. It's not like your parents and uncles and aunts should be waiting on me, is it

But this morning I was so dizzy I couldn't get up from the kang. My mother-in-law made me go and feed the chickens and pigs, and she even made me eat the leftover rice in the kitchen! Since I married into the Li family, I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness. Even eating an egg gets me scolded. Anyway, I'm going to die anyway, so it would be better to jump into the well and end it all quickly and cleanly!

After finishing his words, he acted as if he was going to jump into the well and was naturally stopped by the villagers around him.

"Old Lady Li, you need to have some shame! Li Erniu, your family is too much!"

"That's right, I'm saying, Li Pozi, your heart is truly black! If it weren't for your meanness, Baozhu's previous wife wouldn't have had such a difficult delivery. You're practically committing a sin!"

"You lot are all pointing at this Feng girl and making her wait on you You really have thick faces! Such a good daughter-in-law, you don't want her, but my family does. Anyway, Feng girl and Ba Zhu..." *cough cough* " ...

"

“Li Erniu, I've told you, our Li Jia Village has never forced anyone to jump into a well. Don't be afraid of people laughing at you, we are afraid of losing face within these ten miles and eight townships!”anted to open their heads and see if they'd read too many novels!"Sigh," Gu Qian let out a heavy breath. The enthronement ceremony was postponed, and if the case wasn't solved, the mission would be im...
