Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 160 Qualifying Match (3)

The compensation was paid by the eldest and second eldest sons, but the Du family refused to accept it. This was the result that Gu Shijiu earned through his own abilities.

Then the money belongs to her.

Gu Shijiu didn't even glance at Chen Wangxi, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and patted his adopted daughter on the shoulder: "Well done!"

Chen Wangnan was surprised to be praised, and his anxious heart finally settled down.

Thinking of Gu Shijiu's attitude, she suddenly became excited and had some unrealistic fantasies that she shouldn't have had.

Qiu Niang fainted from crying when she saw Chen Wangxi's miserable state, which Chen Wangdong strongly disapproved of.

“Mother, although the Du family is powerful, my Chen family is not weak either. Why should we be like this?”

Gu Shijiu didn't intend to argue with him: "Once your brother is healed, the two of you and that Qiu Niang will come to find me together."

"Mother—" Chen Wangdong looked at Gu Shijiu's back and felt that his mother was becoming more and more unreasonable.

It took Chen Wangxi a full month to recover from his injury.

Because Gu Shijiu was stingy, he refused to use expensive medicines on him, which even caused him to develop a chronic illness.

From now on, my legs will probably feel sore and painful on rainy days.

This is just a minor problem, Gu Shijiu advised Chen Wangxi not to worry about it.

Chen Wangxi looked at Gu Shijiu with a complicated expression, unable to understand why his mother was so angry this time.

Even Qiu Niang has been much more well-behaved lately.

At least Gu Shijiu didn't hear disgusting things like "I couldn't control my emotions, it's all my fault" all the time.

Seeing that Chen Wangxi was almost fully recovered, Gu Shijiu could finally move on to the next task.

"Since you all like Qiu Niang, are you planning to have two men serve one woman?"

First of all, let me clarify that I have no objection, but the boss has a wife, so you have to get a divorce first.

"Second brother, do as you please. The three of you, live a good life from now on, but you can't stay in my house. You should move out."

Gu Shijiu couldn't stand these dirty things.

Everyone present was shocked. Was this something a wife should say?

Gu Shijiu was surprised that Yang Jinfeng was the first to object: "Please, Madam, don't send me away."

"Hey, isn't divorce a good thing? I'll give you some money, and you can remarry or live on your own later. Isn't that great?"

"Madam, if I'm sent back to my parents' home, I'm afraid I won't survive..."

Yang Jinfeng gave Gu Shijiu a lecture with her quick wit.

Gu Shijiu then realized that, just like the Republican era she had lived in, single women simply could not survive here.

They can only rely on their clans, but the clans often resort to cannibalism as well.

"In that case, you can stay at my house after the divorce and help me with the housework." Gu Shijiu decided to hire her to do the work.

Having received the assurance, Yang Jinfeng lowered her head and remained silent.

Chen Wangdong gave her a cold look: "You really thought you couldn't live without me? Turns out it was all a lie."

You always pretend to be virtuous and gentle, but you're just afraid of having nowhere to go. I really misjudged you.

Yang Jinfeng did not refute, but Gu Shijiu jumped up first: "What kind of talk is that? Why should people be unable to live without you?"

"You've already fallen for someone else, so why can't that person get a divorce?"

"Mother, whose side are you on?" Chen Wangdong looked at Gu Shijiu with pain.

Qiu Niang finally realized what was happening. She knelt down with a thud, tears welling in her eyes, her face filled with resentment at being humiliated.

“Madam, I am also a girl from a good family. How could I possibly serve two husbands? How could you insult me ​​like this?”

Gu Shijiu corrected him, "I meant two male servants and one woman, don't talk nonsense."

Qiu Niang: ...What's the difference?

"If you don't want to, then choose one?" Gu Shijiu was a little confused when she saw her crying again.

She got to choose, so why is there still so much fuss?

Chen Wangdong and Chen Wangxi were surprised to hear this and were somewhat expectant.

Their feudal and old-fashioned mother was originally firmly against Qiu Niang entering the family.

Qiu Niang was also somewhat surprised. She...she didn't want to choose either of them: "Madam, I grew up with the two young masters."

In my heart, they are both equally important, madam, please don't force me."

Gu Shijiu looked at her two adopted sons with an innocent expression: "She didn't want either of them, don't blame me."

Chen Wangdong and Chen Wangxi looked at Qiu Niang with complicated expressions, and Qiu Niang lowered her head.

The group parted on bad terms.

Gu Shijiu instructed Chen Wangnan to keep a close watch on several people and report immediately any plot developments, or rather, any unusual activity.

Sure enough, not long after, Chen Wangnan came to tattle, saying that Qiu Niang was cutting her wrists.

Several fine porcelain pieces were broken. Holding the shards, I tried to cut them, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I only made a few shallow cuts.

“Mother, this woman is all about crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. She doesn’t really want to die.”

Chen Wangnan was worried that his mother would be soft-hearted and speak ill of Qiu Niang.

"Let's leave it for now and wait and see how the story unfolds." Gu Shijiu wanted to see how the plot would develop.

The viewers in the live stream were also thoroughly enjoying the show.

"I love reading these old-fashioned romance novels the most, hehe."

"I really admire their bodies. They're just ordinary people, but they can't seem to die no matter what they do."

Do you think Qiu Niang will successfully commit suicide?

"Definitely not. I've seen people who lost both kidneys but were able to have them grow back."

......

Gu Shijiu waited for a while, and then Chen Wangnan came to report that Qiu Niang had started to hang herself.

The result was, of course, still unsuccessful. A maidservant discovered Qiu Niang hanging from the roof beam while serving tea.

The maid screamed in terror and scrambled out of the courtyard, crying, "Help! Qiu Niang has hanged herself!"

Just as Gu Shijiu was about to go watch the excitement, two men swept past her like a gust of wind.

Wow, they run pretty fast.

Gu Shijiu saw that Qiu Niang's eyes were closed and her face was flushed, as if she had already stopped breathing.

Did she guess wrong, and this was just a minor role?

Gu Shijiu carefully touched Qiu Niang's chest. Well, it seems she won't die.

Although it looks so fragile that a gust of wind could blow it away, it is clear that its heart is quite strong.

What a tenacious little white flower! Gu Shijiu stepped aside, lost in thought.

With that physique, it looks like it can go through several more story arcs.

The two men were so anxious they were scratching their heads, not knowing what to do.

The doctor arrived quickly and began administering acupuncture and medicine to Qiu Niang, but did not perform CPR.

Of course, it's also possible that they don't know how.

Nevertheless, after undergoing a whole series of ineffective treatments, Qiu Niang still woke up.

"I'm still alive? Why did you save me? Just let me die."

Qiu Niang didn't wail loudly; she just murmured to herself, and with her trembling eyelashes, she looked especially pitiful.

Gu Shijiu felt she should say something polite: "Why are you so pessimistic, child?"

If you die, people will think it was me and the two men from the Chen family who killed you.

Qiu Niang: I always felt there was something strange about it.
