I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 210 The Spring of the Young Widow

Chang Ning was searching for a world similar to the one where one raises sacred beasts, fights monsters and levels up. As he was flipping through the pages, he found an interesting name: "The Spring of the Little Widow".

Poof! What kind of weird world is this? Curious, Chang Ningchen clicked on it and took a look. It told the tragic story of a poor young man who was tricked into marrying a terminally ill wealthy man to bring good luck.

Tsk tsk, this setting looks miserable. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to enter such a world. Then Chang Ningchen slipped his hand and clicked the enter button.

Chang Ningchen excitedly called the system: "Huh?! My hand slipped! I didn't mean to go in! System, system, please undo the operation!"

The abuse system said with a hint of mirth, "So, you accidentally opened the world page and clicked the enter button? Sorry, you can't undo the operation. This is your fate with this world! Just accept your fate!"

Chang Ningchen shouted and then his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he saw himself lying on a bed with a baby next to him.

Ahhhhhh! Chang Ningchen screamed in his heart, but he didn't dare to scream out loud, because the consequences of waking up the child would be very serious.

As usual, he quickly reviewed the original owner's memory. He was now the unlucky young widower Dong Er. He was bought by the Gu family to marry the frail and sickly second son of the Gu family's eldest wife, Gu Qingshu. The child was not his, but the child of his husband's brother Gu Jiuhe.

Gu Jiuhe, the eldest son of the Dafang family, has grown up and started a family. He went out to do business for the family business, but unfortunately, people outside brought back news that Gu Jiuhe encountered a caravan on his way to do business and his life or death was unknown.

Mrs. Wen, the ancestor of the Gu family who had been able to take care of Dong Er, became so anxious that she fell ill after hearing the news. Not long after the news came out, Gu Jiuhe's wife eloped with her childhood sweetheart.

Gu Qingshu's condition worsened and he died not long after. Old Mrs. Wen could not bear the successive blows and was in a coma for several days before she passed away.

Chang Ningchen now has to face the covetousness of the second and third branches of the Gu family for the family property of the first branch, and he also has to take care of the bloodline of his eldest uncle's family, and he also has to be careful about other people's conspiracy against him.

How could this be the young widow's spring?! This is clearly the young widow's winter! Chang Ningchen only saw the scene of Gu Qingshu holding his hand before his death and telling him to be careful with the other members of the Gu family. He felt like the sky was about to fall!

The other members of the Gu family even plotted against Gu Qingshu, the second son of the eldest branch of the Gu family, let alone him, an outsider. They were definitely as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Dong Er was just a child from a poor family. Because of long-term malnutrition, he looked very thin and fair-skinned, so he was bought by the Gu family as a girl to bring good luck. Dong Er's family members all fell ill and died, and he had no family to rely on.

Unfortunately, Gu Qingshu, Dong Er's husband, has passed away, and his greatest support, Old Lady Wen, has also passed away. Now the only ones he can count on are Young Master Gu and the child beside him.

It's a pity that Master Gu's life and death are unknown, and the child is too young to be relied upon! Just when Chang Ningchen was angry, he thought of Dongfang He again. It would be great if he could be by his side.

The system couldn't help but interject, "Dongfang He left the last world much later than you did. Maybe he hasn't come here yet! Or maybe he's just the same age as the children around you and can't help you at all."

Damn it! What this bastard system said makes a lot of sense! After hearing what the system said, Chang Ningchen suddenly felt that he couldn't rely on anyone!

The abuse system said angrily, "I can hear you scolding me like that! And I'm just giving you a kind reminder!"

"Ding! Main quest: Stay at the Gu family."

Chang Ningchen glanced at the task interface. Successful tasks would earn him +100 points, while failed tasks would make him a beggar. He gave the system an international friendly gesture.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others! Chang Ningchen looked at the sleeping child beside him with a firm and gentle look. If this little brat is Dongfang He, he must protect him!

The next day, the wives of the second and third wives of the Gu family began to persuade Chang Ningchen to hand over the first wife's child to them for raising. After all, he was a man and had no idea how to take care of a child.

Chang Ningchen held Gu Xingtao and refused to let anyone else hold her. He said, "Aunts have their own children to take care of. If you have too many children, you won't be able to raise them all. It's like raising pigs. A single pig will definitely be fatter than a group of piglets!"

Taotao is the only child left in our eldest family. As her aunt, I must take good care of her. Although I am illiterate, I know the principle of marrying a chicken, you follow the chicken; marry a dog, you follow the dog. I am unlucky because the head of the family died early, so I can only remain a widow.

The aunts who take care of me also have to take care of their own reputations, so as not to say that there is no clean person in our Gu family and that we are full of dirty things..."

The second and third aunts, who came from scholarly families, looked down upon this peasant who was bought in for good fortune. Originally, they wanted to take the eldest wife's only child to live with them and raise him by their side so that they could take over the family's fortune.

Naturally, this peasant would be beaten out with sticks. If he refused to leave, he would die suddenly from illness one day and be buried in a mass grave.

But this peasant's speech was too vulgar. He had a strong earthy tone as soon as he opened his mouth, and many of his words were unpleasant to the ears. The women from scholarly families had never heard such shameless words before. They were embarrassed and turned their heads away with their handkerchiefs, not wanting to continue the topic. They all said they had other things to do and left.

Chang Ningchen smiled while holding the baby. He knew that these women wanted to take Gu Xingtao away to raise him not for the good of the child, but probably for the eldest wife's property.

Dong Er knew that he was a rough man and that his words would make people from such wealthy families angry, so he always acted submissive and didn't want to cause trouble.

But it was useless for him to hide. These people would not let him go. The best defense was to take the initiative! Since they didn't like vulgarity, he would show them vulgarity openly!

After all, no one would take the initiative to talk to someone who spits everywhere and uses all kinds of dirty words. I'm afraid that if you see such a person, you will stay away from him.

Seeing that the women had returned empty-handed, Gu Gaoxiang from the second house and Gu Shijie from the third house came to find Dong Er.

Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie are Gu Qingshu's uncles. Dong Er should call them Second Uncle and Third Uncle, but these two people look down on Dong Er, so they only let him call them Second Master Gu and Third Master Gu.

Chang Ningchen looked at the two men coming towards him aggressively and knew that they definitely didn't want to have a good talk. He pretended not to see them and went to the Gu family ancestral hall.

"This is the Gu family ancestral hall. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Several tall and strong servants were guarding outside a courtyard and stopped Chang Ningchen.

Chang Ningchen immediately pretended to be innocent and said, "Is this the ancestral hall? I heard an old man telling me to hold Taotao and walk over here..."

The servants looked at the thin man holding the child in front of them with a puzzled look.

At this time, Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie also came over. Gu Shijie asked Chang Ningchen to hand the child to him, and Chang Ningchen handed it over obediently.

After handing it over, he said, "I actually heard an old man ask me to bring Taotao over to him. The old man said his name was Gu Xishui."

Gu Gaoxiang and Gu Shijie were suddenly shocked. Gu Xishui was the name of their father, and he had died twenty years ago!
