Gu Hui pouted gloomily. “I’m not going. My mother wants me to go to my grandmother’s place to get something. It’s so annoying. Among all the pregnant women in the village, my mother is the most difficult to please. Oh right, Second, don’t come near my mother these days. Wait for her to give birth.”

“Oh, okay. Then I’ll be leaving first, Sister Huihui!”

Gu Xin waved her hand.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Lady Zhang, valued sons over daughters. She did not even treat her own two daughters well, let alone Gu Xin, the daughter of her husband’s second brother.

If it were not for the fact that the Gu family still had the old lady to suppress her, this Lady Zhang would have turned the sky upside down.

It was getting late, and Gu Xin’s speed was faster than usual. She had to get home before dark.

When she arrived at the back of the mountain, Gu Xin first put down the basket on her back, then moved the dried leaves on the ground into a pile with dried branches. She then picked them up and placed them in the basket. After placing a layer on the basket, she broke the dried branches, put them in, and pressed them down.

After going back and forth a few times, her small basket was also filled with firewood to start a fire.

“Brat, I told you not to go there to play, but you insisted on going. When you fall in, I’ll see what you’ll do.”

“Aiyo, Mom, Mom, let me go, let me go. I’ve caught fish. Tonight, we can eat fish!”

“Eat my ass fish. The third child of the Feng family drowned in the water on a hot day this year. The fish in the water are very evil. Do you dare to eat them?”

“Isn’t that what happens on a hot day? Now... Ah! Mother, why did you knock over my basin!”

“You bastard, hurry up and go back with me! Don’t cause trouble outside every day. I told you, you can’t go there. When you go back, I’ll see if your father won’t break your legs! Basin, that basin with evil nature is not good. Go, quickly follow me!”

“Aiyo! Mother, don’t pull my ear. I’ll go, I’ll go, okay? Aiyo, ahhh, it hurts, it hurts...”

Gu Xin was about to carry the basket on her back when a mother and son walked past her. She had seen this mother and son before. The son was called Liu Gou’er, from the neighboring village. He was the same age as her and often came to their village to play.

Liu Gou’er and his mother walked all the way. They glanced at Gu Xin, but ignored her.

Gu Xin had always been invisible. Her parents and sister did not care about her, so others naturally would not take her seriously.

Gu Xin did not care. She waited for the others to walk over before she looked towards the wooden basin and the fish.

It was a very beautiful fish, just like the one that the new year doll was holding. Her grandfather had told her that the doll was holding a carp.

However, she had never seen such a beautiful, glowing carp.

At that moment, the carp had fallen out of the wooden basin and was bouncing on the ground.

For some reason, Gu Xin felt that the fish was very sad and uncomfortable.

Oh, that’s right. Grandfather had said that fish were not allowed to leave the water.

Gu Xin quickly went forward and put the beautiful carp back into the little wooden basin.

“Little fish, little fish! Can I send you back? I remember the pond over there. Even though a child drowned there, and I am also very scared, but seeing that you’re feeling so uncomfortable, I’ll send you back too. You have to hide well in the future!”

Gu Xin put the fish into the wooden basin. There was only a little water left in the basin, and it could not completely allow the fish to breathe.

She carried the wooden basin and ran towards the pond where the child drowned. She thought to herself, ‘If I do more good deeds, Will God agree to me because I’ve done so many good deeds? Will my parents and sister always treat me so well?’
