Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 274: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 2

He had no time to care why the child was born after the midwife came out. He just wanted to quickly bring the midwife to Li Xiuqin.

However, his action was stopped by Gu Zhi and Gu Ming, the reason being that although Zhao Yue'er had given birth, she still needed a midwife by her side afterwards.

Gu Yong was immediately furious, but due to filial piety, he didn't dare to hit his father, so he punched Gu Zhi hard and threatened that if Li Xiuqin and the child were hurt in any way, he would not let them off even if he went to hell.

Gu Zhi was stunned, and Gu Ming was frightened by Gu Yong's ruthlessness, and dared not say anything.

The midwife also felt that the old and the young in the Gu family were really inhuman. The one in Gu Yong's family had killed two lives. After all, they were their own grandchildren, yet they could be so cruel.

She shook her head, gave Gu Yong a look, and the two of them immediately walked out.

Halfway through the journey, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, which seemed to be a good omen and was extremely beautiful.

But at this time, Gu Yong had no intention of enjoying the scenery. He was regretting why he built the house so far away from the main house.

The two rushed all the way, but after arriving home, they heard crying sounds coming from inside.

Gu Yong rushed in without thinking, and the midwife couldn't stop him. He could only follow him in and close the door to prevent the evil wind from entering.

After entering, they found that the baby had already been born. But because Li Xiuqin's sister-in-law did not know how to deliver a baby, she could only help wipe the sweat and clean the blood stains.

When the midwife saw this, she stepped forward skillfully to cut the umbilical cord and checked on Li Xiuqin's condition.

After confirming that everything was fine, he took half of the money and left.

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin named the child Gu Qian, and this child was the original owner.

On the second day after the child was born, Gu Xi, a girl from Gu Zhi's family, was born with gold in her mouth. When she was born, the sky was filled with golden light. The news that she was a lucky doll spread throughout the village.

Everyone said that with this golden baby, the Gu family would become very wealthy in the future, and that Gu Yong had made a mistake in dividing the family property.

Even the two elders of the Gu family had rosy faces. They were very arrogant when they met people and talked about the newborn baby girl every other sentence.

Under normal circumstances, if a girl was born in a family and the family showed off so much, everyone would probably think that the family was stupid. But for the Gu family, everyone could only envy them.

After all, no matter whether it is a real Fuwa or not, the gold is real. Where have those country people ever seen gold?

After hearing the rumors, Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin looked at each other and finally remained silent, not daring to express any opinions on the matter.

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin both felt that even if they were really blessed, they shouldn't tell anyone about it. How could a family like theirs survive?

Moreover, wealth should not be exposed. The more high-profile it is, the more likely it is to get into trouble.

If it were them, they would keep the news secret and not let anyone know.

Moreover, Gu Yong vaguely felt that the one with the glowing sky when he was born was their Gu Qian.

Of course, he didn't dare to think about it too much. He just pretended not to know about these things. His daughter was just an ordinary child.

In the next few years, Gu Qian grew up steadily and low-key, but Gu Xi was very high-profile and you could always hear rumors about her.

According to the Gu family, as long as Gu Xi followed them up the mountain, they would be able to gain something; incidents like wild game being killed at the doorstep happened frequently, and the Gu family's lives seemed to be getting better and better.

The surrounding villagers were very envious, and at the same time they also felt sympathy for Gu Yong's family.

However, as the Gu family's life improved, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei went to Gu Yong's house to ask for money less and less frequently. Later on, they almost stopped coming and were unwilling to mention Gu Yong, as if they were afraid that he would come to their house to ask for money.

Therefore, after this, the original owner's life could have been peaceful and stable, but a sudden accident broke it all.

One day, Li Xiuqin was playing with Gu Qian at home when she was suddenly captured by soldiers who rushed in. Also captured was Gu Yong who was working in the fields.

No one knew what had happened until the three men were beheaded, and then everyone knew the reason.

It turned out that the fifth prince of the current dynasty was injured for some reason and stranded in the nearby mountains. Instead of rescuing him, the Gu Yong family robbed all the valuables from the prince and even stripped off all his clothes.

The fifth prince was lucky enough to be found alive, so naturally someone must be held accountable.

Because this matter was not just about losing a little money, but more importantly, it damaged the reputation of the royal family.

However, this was not done by Gu Yong and his team at all.

On the day the incident happened, Li Xiuqin was at home with Gu Qian, while Gu Yong was working in the fields.

Of course, no one listened to their explanation. The government just wanted to catch the person and get the job done quickly, and did not want to seriously examine whether there was any problem.

Therefore, Gu Yong and the other two who were handed over were directly ordered to be beheaded, and even the original owner who was only a few years old was not spared.

Seeing this, Gu Qian frowned tightly.

She continued reading and realized that all this was because of those people from the Gu family.

In fact, Gu Xi was not born with gold in her mouth. The gold in her mouth was stuffed into her mouth by Zhao Yue'er after the child was born when the midwife was not around.

She had picked up this little gold bead by chance before. She had not wanted to use it to subsidize the Gu family. However, the Gu family's life became worse and worse after Gu Yong separated from the family. She could not use the gold by herself, so she might as well give it away.

But she didn't want to just take it out like that, so she came up with this idea to make everyone think that her child, Zhao Yue'er, was a blessed child.

In this way, not only will the children be treated better at home, but her life will also be better.

Sure enough, things turned out as she expected. Even though she was a girl, the two strict elders in the family loved her very much and thought of everything good for her.

In order to make the impression that Gu Xi is the "Fuwa" deeply rooted in people's hearts, she also thought of many ways to make this happen.

For example, she would put hunted game at the doorstep the night before, so that they would think that the prey had come by itself; for example, if she found some herbs in the mountains, she would hide them and wait until the next day to take Gu Xi with her to pretend to have discovered them.

In this way, Gu Xi's identity as the "Fuwa" was completely confirmed, and the surrounding villagers all believed it without a doubt.

On this day, Zhao Yue'er took Gu Xi up the mountain to get the herbs they found the day before as usual, and Gu Zhi also came with them.

Because she was afraid of being discovered, Zhao Yue'er buried the herbs deep in the mountains.

When they got there, they saw the fifth prince lying on the ground in luxurious clothes, and Gu Zhi immediately became greedy.

He discussed with Zhao Yue'er about taking away all the valuables from the Fifth Prince and then throwing him to a farther and more remote place.

So, the two of them immediately went over and took out all the valuables from the Fifth Prince, and while they were doing it, the Fifth Prince woke up.

The two men were a little flustered when they saw this scene, but then they thought that they might as well go all out and simply stripped him of his clothes. In such cold weather, he would probably not survive, so there would be no hidden dangers.

The fifth prince watched their actions motionlessly, then turned his head and looked at the very young Gu Xi.
