The old man eyed the axe in Er Gouzi’s hand, stammering, "Er Gouzi, don’t you dare act rashly. You’ve been eating our food, using our things. You would have starved to death without us. Now you’ve found a girl to be your older brother’s bride, what’s the matter with that?! I warn you, put down, put down the axe!"
"Don’t put it down, Er Gouzi, save me, save me!" Gu Qibao shouted as desperately as she could.
But the old woman screamed even more ferociously than her, "Help! Er Gouzi is going to kill someone! My son has gone mad, he wants to kill! Help, save us!"
Gu Qibao rolled her eyes with frustration. She really wanted to slap the old woman across her face, but alas, her hand was being held tightly by the woman.
The old woman was shrieking like a sow being butchered. Er Gouzi stared wide-eyed at his axe going round, but all of a sudden, a villager approached him from behind and whacked him on the head.
Er Gouzi was knocked flat on the ground.
"Er Gouzi!" Gu Qibao was shocked.
"Madam Chen, what’s the matter with your Er Gouzi? He was perfectly fine and now he suddenly ran amok?"
The villager who struck down Er Gouzi asked seemingly ’concerned’.
"This beast is rebellious!" the old woman replied. "Thank you, his uncle, nothing more to see here."
The villager nodded and curiously asked when he saw Gu Qibao, "Madam Chen, when did your family get another girl?"
The old woman’s face immediately blossomed into a grin, "This is my daughter-in-law!"
Gu Qibao almost spat blood. Who the hell is your daughter-in-law?!
"No, uncle, please save me. I’m not their daughter-in-law, I...I was tricked by them!" Gu Qibao cried out, desperately seeking help.
However, the villager just ignored her, as if he was used to such things. He even cheerfully asked, "So when will the feast be?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow," replied the old man, beaming like a chrysanthemum.
"Good!" the villager nodded. "Must have good wine and meat."
"Definitely, definitely," the old man chuckled.
Gu Qibao stared dumbfounded as the villager left with a smiling face. She suddenly felt an onrush of despair, her entire world view shattered!
