Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 434: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Tao Chunhua licked her lips and looked at Gu Mancang with grievance and helplessness, "Brother Gu?"

Seeing that the little girl was in good spirits, she must have survived. Tao Chunhua was worried that Gu Mancang would part ways with them because of the little girl's resistance to them.

However, she underestimated Gu Mancang.

For a bodyguard, the most important thing is credibility.

Gu Mancang nodded to Tao Chunhua, patted his daughter's back soothingly, and roughly told her the origin of the temporary family.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me. I've grown up. I do everything on my own at my uncle's house." Gu Li patted her chest and assured.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gu Mancang felt even more guilty. His daughter lost her mother when she was born, and he was a rough man who didn't know how to raise a child. Although the sisters-in-law in the escort agency would help, every family has three or two children, and they would be too busy to take care of them themselves. It would be inappropriate for him to always trouble others.

When his aunt from the countryside learned about this, she came all the way from the village to take care of his children, solving Gu Mancang’s urgent problem.

Gu Mancang would not treat his aunt-in-law unfairly, and gave most of his monthly salary to her as a reward.

But his aunt couldn't always live with him in the city, so whenever Gu Mancang had to travel far away for work, he would entrust his daughter to the countryside to be taken care of by his aunt.

But I didn't know that my daughter didn't have a good life under her aunt's care.

This time when they fled from the famine, his aunt's family didn't even wait for him to come back and so ruthlessly left Gu Li alone in the empty house to die.

Now that he heard his daughter say such considerate and sensible words, Gu Mancang could not let his daughter live without her mother's care.

Gu Mancang had also observed these two days that Tao Chunhua was a good person, very considerate and attentive. Not only did she take good care of her own son, she also stayed with her lame brother-in-law who was not related to her by blood.

He can marry Tao Chunhua as Gu Li's stepmother. As long as he treats Tao Chunhua well, Tao Chunhua will definitely treat his daughter well.

Gu Mancang only regarded what his daughter said as angry words. He helped Gu Li stand for a while, concerned about whether she was still dizzy. He changed the subject abruptly and stiffly.

Gu Li said forcefully, "Dad, I'm serious. Dad and I have been dependent on each other for so many years. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself. When I grow up a little bit, I will be able to take care of Dad."

Gu Mancang just wanted to burst into tears after hearing this, his daughter was so thoughtful. At the same time, he also became more certain of his decision.

"Xiao Li'er, you are still young and need someone to take care of you. Sometimes when Daddy is not convenient, your Aunt Chunhua can do it. Daddy has seen that your Aunt Chunhua is a good person. When we get to a place to rest in the future, you still need a mother who is an elder to teach you how to manage the household and find you a husband."

Gu Li's mouth froze. This body of hers was only eight years old.

Even if what Gu Mancang said was true, Gu Li didn't want Tao Chunhua's family.

Because in her previous life, Gu Li was killed by a family that was forced between her and her father.

"Dad~"

"Okay, we are fleeing now. We haven't traveled much these days. We have wasted too much time. The further we go, the harder it will be to travel. We need to hurry up."

Gu Li begged at the top of her lungs but got no response from Gu Mancang.

"Xiao Li'er, we should not be ungrateful. Yun Wang has been carrying you these past few days, and your aunt Chunhua has also taken good care of you."

Gu Li curled her lips. Was it that mother and son who wanted her father to carry the heavier He Xingqing on his back to hurry on his journey?

It seemed that she couldn't convince her father for the time being, so Gu Li had no choice but to follow Gu Mancang to her luggage.

He Xingqing was supported by He Yunwang and sat on a rock by the roadside. His face was as pale as if he had been dead for several days.

"Dad, what happened to him?"

In fact, Gu Li knew that He Xingqing's legs had been dislocated and in great pain. Later, when they met bandits on the road, he blocked a knife for Gu Li who was lying on He Yunwang's back. The knife cut from his left shoulder to his right waist, and his intestines fell out.

He Xingqing threw away the sharpened crutch in his hand and fell down. Gu Li clearly saw him looking at her with an apologetic smile.

He was seeking death on purpose.

He didn't want to burden his nephew and sister-in-law, and the pain in his legs was unbearable.

He probably also hoped that Gu Mancang would take better care of his family because he risked his life to save Gu Li.

Indirectly, He Xingqing saved her once.

Gu Li took two steps forward and handed over the bamboo tube. "Do you want some water?"

He Xingqing's condition was not good at all. The blood from his cracked lips stuck to his lips. He moved several times but no sound came out.

Gu Li handed the bamboo tube to Tao Chunhua who was standing nearby, and then silently stood back beside Gu Mancang.

Gu Mancang reached down and touched his daughter's dry, thin, yellow hair, then smiled and said to He Xingqing, "Have a drink."

Then he said to Tao Chunhua, "Let's rest for a while on the north slope and continue our journey when the sun gets a little smaller."

It's too hot. We can't stand it if we keep walking like this.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Gu."

Tao Chunhua happily took the bamboo tube, then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, soaked it with water, and slowly moistened her brother-in-law's lips that were stuck with blood.

"Ayun, drink a few sips to quench your thirst, then lean on your uncle and rest for a while. I see that Xiaoli'er has recovered well, so you won't have to carry her on your back anymore."

He Yunwang did not take the bamboo tube handed to him by his mother. Instead, his eyes slowly looked at the girl who was following her father obediently.

He is completely different from the little monkey who wanted to strangle himself to death as soon as he opened his eyes.

But he had memorized it for so many days and knew it was clearly the same person.

The look she gave her uncle just now was full of pity and a little friendliness. She even offered the water to her uncle, even though his mother refused to drink it no matter how much she coaxed him.

She just seemed to dislike him and his mother.

He Yunwang lowered his head. He didn't mean to throw her down.

He just, just never------

Seeing that her son refused to take the water, Tao Chunhua held a handkerchief on He Xingqing's mouth with one hand and tilted a bamboo tube with the other hand to feed her son water.

The cool water flowed over the corners of He Yunwang's mouth and he swallowed subconsciously.

When He Yun realized belatedly that Gu Li had just drunk water with her mouth against the bamboo tube, he suddenly choked on the water.

"Cough cough."

Tao Chunhua quickly took back the bamboo tube to avoid wasting a drop of water.

"What happened? I accidentally choked while drinking water."

He Yunwang didn't say anything, covered his mouth and turned slightly to the side.

Seeing that her son had stopped coughing, Tao Chunhua passed the bamboo tube to He Xingqing's mouth again, "Xingqing, take a small sip first and drink it slowly."

"Sister-in-law, drink it. I'm not thirsty."

"How can I not be thirsty? We still have water. Brother Gu has a jar of water in his backpack. The most important thing for us is to get through this. Don't think about anything else for now."

"sister in law."

"Drink quickly!"
