Originally, Mrs. Niu wanted to flatter Ge Chunru to take advantage of her.
Now that she saw that this woman was disdainful of her, she knew that flattering was useless.
It would be better to let her temper do what she wanted, to avoid being angry.
As long as she coaxed Ge Chunyi, Ge Chunru could do nothing about her.
Ge Chunru was angry again. She raised her hand and pointed at Mrs. Niu: “You are shameless!”
Mrs. Niu leaned on Ge Chunyi: “Ayi, your sister said I was shameless. We are husband and wife. She is also implying that you are shameless.”
Sure enough, Ge Chunyi’s face became a little ugly when he heard this.
He said to Ge Chunru: “Sister, I have married Qiuhua and we are husband and wife. She will be your sister-in-law in the future.”
Ge Chunru was going crazy: “She is a woman who has been married, had children and was divorced. She is ugly and old. How can she be worthy of you?”
“You must have been deceived by her.”
“Go back with your sister. I have selected several young ladies from noble families in North City for you. I will help you find a good wife.”
When Ge Chunyi heard this, he felt ironic.
He asked Ge Chunru: “Sister, do you think that a young lady from a noble family will marry me in my current state?”
Not only was he lame in one leg, he has nothing.
He was not belittling himself, but he knew that no young lady from a noble family would marry him.
Ge Chunru choked and her expression changed.
Recently, she hasn’t been successful in finding a wife for her brother.
“Your brother-in-law is now the deputy governor of North City. As long as we look for him sincerely, there will be a lady from a noble family to marry you.”
Let’s coax my brother to leave Mrs. Niu’s family first.
Even if she can’t find a young lady from a noble family to marry my brother, she can find a pure daughter from a small family or a big merchant family to marry his brother, which is much better than the Niu family.
Before Ge Chunyi opened his mouth, Mrs. Niu sneered, “Sister, do you think Ayi is a fool?”
“General Xiao is a great general, but he only married a woman like you from a small family. What status does Ayi have to marry a young lady from a noble family now?”
“Do you think he is easy to fool?”
“That’s why you teamed up with General Xiao to coax him to go to the Northern Border and left him alone.”
“But now that you are forced to come to Northern Border, you are afraid of being accused of being cold-blooded and ignoring your brother, so you are hypocritically coming to Ayi.”
“Why didn’t I see you send someone to care about your brother before?”
“He almost froze to death or starved to death.”
Ge Chunru said that she was old and ugly. She despised her for not being worthy of Ge Chunyi, so she would not let this woman have an easy life.
She couldn’t let Ge Chunyi’s heart lean towards Ge Chunru, otherwise what if he didn’t care about her?
She had been divorced by Shi Laosan. How could a woman survive in the Northern Border without Ge Chunyi to rely on?
Anyway, she was determined to blame Ge Chunyi.
Mrs. Niu had said these provocative words to Ge Chunyi many times before.
Ge Chunyi listened to it. Especially when his sister came and questioned him with a sullen face, and asked him to abandon the person who slept with him.
He also felt that this sister was too hypocritical, and her concern for him was superficial.
She was afraid of being talked about after coming to the Northern Border, so she sent money.
When she heard that he married Mrs. Niu, she felt ashamed and rushed to take him away.
“Sister, I can’t ignore Qiuhua. I almost starved to death and died of illness before. She helped me secretly.”
“And I like her, so I won’t marry any woman from Beicheng. I decided to be with Qiuhua.”
Niu Qiuhua not only secretly gave him food, but also when he was sick and no one cared about him at home, he felt like he was going to die.
It was Niu Qiuhua who took out the hairpin hidden on her body to bribe the supervisor and asked the other party to invite a doctor for him, so he was able to survive.
She cared about him everywhere, making him feel the only warmth, just like his mother coaxing him when he was a child.
Niu Qiuhua said that she had no feelings for Shi Laosan at all, and meeting him was like an old house on fire, so she was wholeheartedly good to him and supported him.
This made him feel happy and felt that he was needed.
He didn’t think Mrs. Niu was lying.
After all, before his sister sent silver, he was a man who couldn’t do his job well and even had a hard time eating a full meal.
When he was bullied by people who were also mining, Mrs. Niu would stand up and scold those people.
When the supervisor wanted to beat him, it was she who pleaded for him and didn’t continue to be beaten.
He had never been protected like this since he was a child.
So recently, he has been living and relying on her.
A friend in need was a friend indeed, and helping someone in need was precious.
Unlike his sister, who only knew her glory and wealth, but left him, her younger brother, here to suffer.
Besides, Mrs. Niu was very open in that aspect, so he liked her very much.
After all the things he has experienced before, he only felt safe when Mrs. Niu was around.
So now, Mrs. Niu can leave him, but he cannot leave Qiuhua.
Ge Chunru almost fainted when she heard what her brother said: “You, you!”
“What kind of love potion did she give you?”
She really couldn’t tell what was good about this Mrs. Niu.
Ge Chunyi said: “She didn’t give me any love potion, I just like her and I want to be with her, so don’t blame her, sister.”
Ge Chunru wanted to vomit blood, she was so angry that she was shaking all over, and threatened: “If you want to be with her, then you can continue to stay here.”
Ge Chunyi’s face became a little ugly.
Mrs. Niu’s eyes flashed, and she looked at Ge Chunyi reluctantly.
“Ayi, follow your sister. I’ll stay here.”
“As long as I see you doing well in the future, I’ll be satisfied.”
She was nice to Ge Chunyi, of course, because his sister was Ge Chunru.
She had heard before that Ge Chunru cared a lot about her brother and would not ignore him.
In addition, she was thrown into the mine, alone and helpless, and wanted to find a companion.
So she approached Ge Chunyi and showed him warmth and care in various ways.
God will not let down those who work hard, she succeeded and made him feel touched.
She also had a good understanding of his character.
In addition, Shi Qingluo had taught Tao Liu how to be green tea before.
Although she didn’t know what green tea meant, she had learned a little bit.
She would also give Ge Chunru a cup of ‘green tea’.
So she deliberately said this to Ge Chunyi.
This not only showed her affection and righteousness but also highlighted that Ge Chunru was a cruel sister.
Sure enough, Ge Chunyi was moved and held Mrs. Niu’s hand tightly.
“I won’t leave you behind. If I have to go, we’ll go together. If you have to stay, we’ll stay together.”
Then he looked at Ge Chunru and said: “Sister, since you’re not here to pick me up sincerely, then go.”
His eyes turned red: “When I die here, you can send someone to collect my body.”
“Bury me with our parents, and I’ll honor them in the underground.”
He said with a look of disappointment and pain: “Before when our mother and father died, they kept telling you to take good care of me. Just pretend they didn’t say anything. You don’t have to worry about me.”
He didn’t believe that this sister would abandon him. She had promised her parents to take good care of him.
