Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 207 Challenge (2)

In this way, Gu Shijiu not only successfully got back the things he had given away, but also stirred up trouble in both villages.

Because many items have already been used, there's no way to return them in their original condition.

But Gu Shijiu didn't care about any of that. She was very firm. Since they couldn't produce the original item, they had to offer something valuable as collateral.

What's even more outrageous is that she also demanded compensation.

The villagers were baffled. "Your mother agreed to send these things out, so why should we take them?"

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu is completely unreasonable; to be precise, he doesn't listen to reason.

The villagers have discovered that she acts entirely on her own whims, and anyone who dares to say a word might face her wrath.

The Mo family has really suffered lately.

Gu Shijiu ate all the food in the house, so she could only carry a basket and go to the mountains and fields every day to pick wild vegetables to barely make ends meet.

That wasn't the end of it. The villagers who had been extorted didn't dare to directly resist Gu Shijiu, so they vented all their pent-up anger on Mo Shi, constantly mocking and ridiculing her whenever they saw her.

Once, Ms. Mo was carrying a tattered basket and walking home dejectedly, thinking about what to eat the next day, her heart filled with worry.

As soon as I reached the old locust tree in the middle of the village, I heard several villagers deliberately amplifying their voices.

"I thought she was so generous, but it turns out she's just using her daughter's things to do favors. Ugh!"

"Maybe she regretted it and didn't want to give it to us anymore, so she sent Li Fang to ask for it back."

"They said nice things when they gave it to you, but who has ever seen someone take something back after giving it to them? It's shameful."

......

Mo's steps suddenly stopped, and a blush instantly rose on her face, spreading all the way to her ears;

She instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

"How... How could you say that about me..."

Mo retorted loudly, her voice trembling with tears, but it was too weak to be heard amidst the villagers' laughter and was quickly drowned out.

"Hmph, are we wrong? That's the truth, so what are you trying to argue about?"

A woman in a blue cloth shirt crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Mo Shi with disdain, as if she were looking at a clown.

Mo wanted to say that this was not the case at all, and that this Li Fang was definitely not her daughter. Her daughter must have been possessed by an evil spirit when she fell off the cliff.

But with the example of the sorceress still fresh in everyone's minds, who would dare to say that Gu Shijiu was an evil spirit?

The villagers said it must be because Mo had exploited her daughter too much, and now that she's realized it, she's not going to go along with her anymore.

Mo's life was getting more and more difficult, and she decided that she still had to think of a solution.

So that day, Gu Shijiu returned from Zhang's place. As soon as he got to his door, he saw Mo standing by the door wiping away tears.

Upon seeing Gu Shijiu, Mo Shi was overjoyed and rushed over at top speed.

Gu Shijiu was quite frightened. What was this going to do now? She quickly grabbed the other person's head.

Mo's head rested in Gu Shijiu's hand, her arms flailing a few times as she managed to stand still.

Tears were still streaming down her face: Why did her daughter treat her like this!

Gu Shijiu glanced at her sideways, wondering how she could look so good while eating wild vegetables; it was simply unscientific.

Mo cried for a while, only to find that Gu Shijiu pretended not to see it and had no intention of comforting her at all.

She had no choice but to stop crying and looked up, sobbing, "Fang, are you really not going to care about me anymore?"

Gu Shijiu continued with her own business, not understanding why Mo Shi had asked such an obvious question.

She looked up, her big, innocent eyes wide: "Otherwise what?"

Mo was momentarily speechless, but she was already quite used to Gu Shijiu's way of speaking and didn't dwell on it.

“Fang, there’s nothing to eat at home right now, and I have no other choice but to come up with a way to help supplement the family income.”

Gu Shijiu was somewhat surprised. This Mo family member knew nothing and couldn't find work in the countryside. What could she possibly do?

Seeing that Gu Shijiu did not refute, Mo pressed on, "I know I'm not good at farming, and I'm not good at other chores either, so—"

Gu Shijiu became somewhat interested: "So what?"

Mo seemed encouraged, her face beaming with joy: "Why don't we give the house to Sister Zhang's son, and then have them feed us?"

Even if Gu Shijiu's brain wasn't working properly, he couldn't come up with such a good idea no matter how hard he racked his brains.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mo thought it was tacit consent and became more and more excited as she spoke: "Sister Zhang's third son and youngest son have never had a house and can't even get married."

They don't own much land, so there's nowhere to build a house. Their eldest son's daughter, who is over ten years old, still lives in the same room as her parents.

We gave the house to them, and all they have to do is prepare three meals a day for me; it's a good deed we can do."

Gu Shijiu counted on her fingers what Mo Shi had said, somewhat confused: "Then where will I stay?"

Ms. Mo mistakenly thought she had persuaded her, and quickly continued, "There is an Uncle Li near Sister Zhang's house. He is quite old and still not married."

"He has no children, and his parents have passed away. He looks quite pitiful. Since you're all alone anyway, why don't you marry him?"

Madam Mo had a good plan. Her daughter was betrothed, but the man had run away, so her daughter was unlikely to marry into a good family anyway.

Although Uncle Li is old, he is good at taking care of people. Isn't this the best ending for him?

Both of them are quite pitiful, and being together is simply a match made in heaven.

With her daughter's future secured, Uncle Li found a wife, Zhang's son had a place to live, and she finally had food to eat.

This is truly a win-win situation!

Gu Shijiu didn't know how to refute, but after experiencing so much, she was no longer the child who could be arranged by others.

Instinctively feeling that this wasn't how things were supposed to be handled, she reached out and grabbed Mo Shi, saying, "I think you just want to get beaten up."

Mo was still dreaming of her perfect future life when suddenly Gu Shijiu grabbed her by the neck.

She waved her hands wildly in the air while desperately trying to explain, "Fang, I'm doing this entirely for your own good!"

Gu Shijiu had a sudden inspiration: "Why don't you just marry yourself off to Uncle Li?"

Madam Mo shook her head repeatedly: "I've been married before, how can I remarry?"

"Didn't I get married too?" Gu Shijiu couldn't understand this.

“How can they be the same?” Mo instinctively retorted, but immediately knew she had said the wrong thing.

Fortunately, Gu Shijiu didn't realize it. She thought she was a genius: "Then it's settled. Go find that Uncle Li."

Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't want to talk to you.

After saying that, Gu Shijiu threw the Mo family's book heavily into the distance.

Mo smashed a large hole in the ground, and then fainted again.

When Gu Shijiu woke up the next day, she had disappeared again, leaving only a large pit on the ground.
