After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 148

Looking at their appearance, Gu Jinchen sighed and reached out to ruffle their heads, pulling them into his embrace.

Luo Ge patted their backs gently beside them.

"Next time, we'll be careful and won't worry you again, Auntie."

After a long while, when the two boys had calmed down, they spoke with a tearful voice.

Hearing the words from the two young boys, Luo Ge and the others were stunned for a moment before smiling and nodding.

"Okay."

"But you must also remember what Auntie said today. The young men of the Gu family have never been cowardly. We don't start trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."

"We won't limit your growth, but if you encounter anything you can't handle, you can tell Auntie and Younger Uncle. We'll be your strongest support."

"If you have any troubles you can't figure out, or feel you need our help, you can tell us too. Don't keep it bottled up inside."

"We're all family. There's nothing we can't face and solve together, understand?"

Hearing Luo Ge's words, Gu Jinchen and the two boys turned to look at her and nodded seriously.

"Yes."

(These are the words my parents taught me since I was little, and I feel they're very useful. During my growth, they gave me a great sense of security.)

Tie Dan said that the kids who came this time were older and bigger than them, so they were at a disadvantage.

The two boys had been trained by Gu Jinchen and had some martial arts skills. When fighting, besides defending themselves, they also looked out for their other friends.

So they actually had the most injuries.

Apart from the visible injuries, they also had many bruises on their bodies.

When Gu Jinchen was helping them apply medicine in the room, Luo Ge could hear the boys' gasps of pain from outside.

Hearing the commotion, she took a deep breath and sighed.

To be honest, seeing her own children in such a state, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Recalling the words she heard from those kids' rambling mouths, her eyes gradually turned cold.

..............

The next morning.

It was that little fat kid who started the trouble, but they hadn't even gone to his place, yet he had the audacity to come to their village first.

Early in the morning, a group of women brought their children and gathered in a crowd outside the Village Chief's house.

They sat down and said in one voice, "Their children were beaten up, we want compensation and an apology."

Although the incident of Luo Ge and the others sending the children back yesterday wasn't publicized, everyone in the same village knew about it.

So, the Village Chief and the villagers were fully aware of yesterday's situation.

Now, seeing the other party's attitude, everyone was truly amused and angered.

"You women have no shame at all. Your children came to bully our children, and before we could even say anything, you're already playing the victim!"

"Have you seen our mountain at the back? How high and thick is it? I feel like your shameless faces could even surpass it!"

Hearing the words of the Gu family villagers, those women showed no signs of embarrassment and continued with their tantrum.

"I don't care, the fact is that our children were beaten up by your children!"

"So you have to compensate us with money, or else this matter won't be settled!"

"Village Chief Gu, my child comes to your village to study, right? Now that my child has encountered trouble in your village, shouldn't you be held accountable? Isn't it reasonable for me to come to you?"

"Heh." Hearing these words, Luo Ge was truly amused by their audacity.

This was a typical case of unreasonable demands.

"Well, Mrs. Woman, according to what you're saying, apart from your son, the other children from your village aren't here to study in our village, right?"

"Then may I ask, what business do they have coming to our village for no reason?"

"Oh, did they come to bully the children of our village on purpose? If that's the case, intentionally coming to harm others is no small matter!"

"It seems we should ask the officials to help us reason this out.

The injuries on our village children are clear evidence, and the fact that they were outnumbered and bullied is also evidence of intentional harm.

I'm sure the officials won't turn a blind eye to this."

"Moreover, the ringleader who orchestrated this will definitely face severe punishment. The officials will surely deal with him first!"

Luo Ge sneered as she spoke, and with each sentence, the women's faces grew more and more tense.

Qian Duoduo was visibly trembling, clutching his mother's clothes tightly.

He was still unhappy with Gu Yunmu and the fight from yesterday.

So, when his family saw his injuries after returning home, he told them what happened.

That's why his mother came today to back him up.

He knew that Gu Yunmu was just an orphan, and though he heard he had an uncle looking after them, his mother said that someone who wasn't a real relative wasn't worth caring about and was just a nuisance.

So, Gu Yunmu's uncle definitely wouldn't care about them.

Since they were uncared for children, they could do whatever they wanted with them, right?

His mother said that by coming like this, they could definitely make Gu Yunmu apologize and compensate them!

But... why was Gu Yunmu's aunt saying this now?

"Mom." Thinking about it, he tightened his grip on his mother's clothes.

Qian's Mother also snapped out of her daze when she heard his voice and looked at Luo Ge.

"Little rascal, who are you trying to scare? It's no big deal for kids to fight and scuffle. How would the officials get involved?"

"Don't try to scare me. Today, it's just one thing – apologize, pay compensation, or else this matter won't be settled! We'll just sit here and not leave!"

Hearing Qian's Mother's words, the people who came with her also sat up straight.

"That's right, who are you trying to deceive? If you don't pay my family five taels of silver today, this matter won't be settled!"

Hearing these shameless words, Wang Sister-In-Law and the others couldn't sit still anymore. They rolled up their sleeves and pulled Qian's Mother up.

"You really think you can do whatever you want just because we're in the Qian Family Village? You dare come and act arrogant after bullying my son?"

"Slap!"

"That'll teach you some manners!" Before Wang Sister-In-Law could finish, Ma Feng Auntie had already slapped Qian's Mother and continued.

Once someone took the lead, the other people from the Gu family village also rushed forward. They grabbed the children and threw them aside, then started hitting those shameless women.

Gu Jinchen had been fuming since seeing the child's condition yesterday. With you guys coming over, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Daring to act arrogantly in their village, how laughable.

"Hey! Someone's getting beaten up!"

"Oh no, people from Gu Village are beating someone up!"

"Gu...Umph!"

Seeing how fierce the people from Gu Village were, Qian's Mother's side was taken aback.

Regaining their senses, they started wailing, but their mouths were quickly covered.

The Village Chief, as well as the elders from the Gu and Wang families, noticed this scene and coughed repeatedly, looking up at the sky and around, pretending not to have seen anything.

Village Chief: "Ah, what a beautiful day today."

Looking up at the overcast sky, the Gu family elder: "......Ah, yes."

Wang family elder: "Cough.....Indeed, the weather is excellent."

Luo Ge clenched her fists, clutching her stomach and raring to go, frightening Gu Jinchen who hurriedly held her back.

"Dear wife, my child, you're still pregnant!"
