Chapter 1117: Unwilling to Be Divorced

Chief Zhou instantly perked up. “You mean…”

“Chief, not only is that man and woman rich and powerful, they’re much better than the Qiu family in the county. Moreover, that woman seems to be very concerned about Gu Xiaoxi, her uncle. She definitely won’t treat him badly in the future. When Xiaoni follows her husband, won’t she have a good life? We can also have some soup.”

Chief Zhou lowered his eyes and pondered. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would work.

Among their clansmen, there was a big shot who was an official of the Imperial Court. Was there a need to be afraid of not being able to suppress the Chang family? They would probably be in charge of the entire Great Rock Village.

The problem was…

He looked at Hong Xiaoni. “Is Gu Xiaoxi still willing to be her husband?”

However, Hong Xiaoni was full of confidence. “Chief, don’t worry. I know Gu Xiaoxi. He promised my father that he would take care of me and he won’t go back on his word. Moreover, he didn’t know that I was involved in this matter from the beginning to the end. Even in the ancestral hall just now, I only said that she was lying to Chang Yaya.”

In front of Gu Xiaoxi, she had always looked like she was heartbroken and had never revealed anything in front of him.

“As for Chang Yaya? So what if she told the truth? I just have to insist that she’s lying and that she seduced my husband. We’re not friends at all. I’m Gu Xiaoxi’s wife who has been together for nearly two years. Chang Yaya has only known Gu Xiaoxi for a few days. He’ll definitely believe me.”

Chief Zhou thought about it and felt that it made sense.

“That’s fine too. Take the initiative to look for Gu Xiaoxi. Tell her that you were too impulsive previously and didn’t believe him. Now that you’ve come to your senses, you realize that he’s also a victim. Go and apologize properly and ask him to forgive you. There’s no overnight feud between husband and wife. He’s also an honest person. If his heart softens, he’ll forgive you.”

“When the time comes, I’ll push all the blame to Chang Yaya. Gu Xiaoxi is innocent, so that couple naturally won’t continue to harp on it. After all, you’re their little auntie. They still want you and Gu Xiaoxi to be harmonious. Helping you is better than helping an outsider.”

Hong Xiaoni nodded. “I’ll go now.”

She was eager to give it a try. Under the subtle instructions of Chief Zhou and Zhou Jingui, her eyes were red and swollen. She carried a basket of vegetables and walked out of the Zhou family’s door.

Hong Xiaoni’s expression was sad, but her footsteps were light.

That’s right, she had indeed set Gu Xiaoxi up with the Zhou Family.

For the past two years, Hong Xiaoni had almost never been to the fields because of her illness. Most of the work at home was done by Gu Xiaoxi. Hence, her skin was fair and tender at home. Other than being a little thin from eating too much, she looked better than the women in the village.

A few days ago, Aunt wanted to go to the county to buy something, so she found an excuse to go with her.

She had been in Great Rock Village for nearly two years, but she had only gone to the county twice or thrice because Gu Xiaoxi felt that she was weak and did not allow her to go out. This time, with Eldest Aunt around, he agreed.

Unexpectedly, she met the young master of the Qiu family the moment she arrived at the county city. Coincidentally, the young master of the Qiu family liked her weak and delicate appearance. He immediately wanted to take her as his concubine.

The Qiu family in the county was a wealthy family. Compared to Gu Xiaoxi, who was so poor that she only had two sets of clothes, it was better to be a maid in her family than in the Gu family.

Therefore, Hong Xiaoni was tempted.

However, she was already married, unless Gu Xiaoxi divorced her, which would affect her reputation. How could she be willing to be divorced?
