Chapter 928 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (3)
Although the people around her were mocking Mu Zhou, they were also secretly putting pressure on Gu Huaiyuan to marry her.
The eldest son of the Gu family married a high school teacher, a city girl, who was both beautiful and educated.
Countless people in the village were envious and resentful.
They would feel better if the more successful second son married a village girl.
It's as if that makes me feel at peace.
Mu Zhou listened silently, without uttering a sound.
Gu Huaiyuan stood outside the crowd, staring at her with a slight frown.
He thought that Mu Zhou would definitely try to frame him.
Since there is no evidence to prove that she was drugged, as long as she denies it, no outsider will believe his explanation.
Unexpectedly, she told the truth and took all the blame upon herself.
As a result, she will have to endure a lot of criticism.
At this moment, she was surrounded and hurled insults by the crowd, yet she still forced herself to stand up straight.
Her trembling eyelashes and tightly clenched hands betrayed her nervousness and helplessness.
Gu Huaiyuan pursed his lips, and a noticeable frown appeared between his brows.
A subtle feeling suddenly arose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
She deserves it.
She should bear the consequences for what she did.
Aunt Gu was furious and berated Mu Zhou for being unfaithful. She even poked Mu Zhou's shoulder, causing him to stumble, but he managed to regain his balance.
She lowered her head and did not react.
Once this precedent was set, others immediately followed suit and wanted to take action as well.
Before they could even reach Mu Zhou, Gu Huaiyuan suddenly spoke up:
"Shut up, everyone."
As a soldier, he naturally had a stronger presence than the average person, and being such a young deputy regimental commander, his temperament was even more decisive and uncompromising.
His shout immediately silenced everyone in the room.
Gu Huaiyuan's gaze swept over Mu Zhou and landed on Gu's parents.
He paused, his voice low:
"I will marry you. Let's prepare for the wedding today."
The Gu family could not accept this.
How could their beloved youngest son marry such a heartless woman?
But only Gu Huaiyuan could make the decision.
Moreover, they understood that given how things had turned out, there was no way they wouldn't marry him now.
It's just that psychologically, it's still hard to accept.
At this moment, Li's parents also arrived.
Yesterday, Li's mother slept at her parents' house. She didn't see Mu Zhou and assumed she had already gone home, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
I only found out when I got back today that Mu Zhou didn't go home.
Just then, someone from her family came to deliver the news and told her about it.
As soon as they arrived, they pointed at Gu Huaiyuan and started cursing:
"Oh dear, how could a soldier do such a despicable thing? My innocent daughter, you've ruined her like this."
"Heavens above! My Mu Zhou is a virgin. We've raised her with great difficulty, she's worth more than a thousand dollars."
They cried and screamed as they sat on the ground slapping their thighs.
Everyone around them looked at them with disdain.
Their meaning was clear: they wanted a thousand dollars.
The Gu family doesn't lack the money, but they feel aggrieved about receiving it.
Their son suffered a loss and even had to pay out of pocket?
That's impossible.
Just as Gu's mother was about to step forward to argue, Mu Zhou suddenly stood up:
“Dad, Mom, it has nothing to do with Second Brother Gu. I forced him. I drugged him and took his virginity. In principle, we should compensate the Gu family with some money.”
She spoke these words calmly, yet for some reason, they carried a hint of madness.
Even Li's parents were stunned for a moment.
Gu Huaiyuan's forehead veins throbbed.
Did they take away his innocence? Did they force him?
Gu Huaiyuan almost laughed in anger.
Who forced whom last night?
Has she forgotten when she cried and begged for mercy beneath him?
But these words are too private for him to say out loud.
We can only let her spread rumors.
His face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth.
What an audacious girl! She dares to say anything.
Upon hearing her words, Li's mother flew into a rage and jumped up.
"You brat, shut up! You orphan, you shameless thing..."
Mu Zhou's eyelashes trembled as she stared at Li's mother:
"Mom, I got the medicine from Grandma's house. It was from Grandpa's drawer. There were a lot of medicines there, and I just grabbed one randomly. I don't know if it will cause any problems."
Li's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly tried to cover her mouth.
The Gu family also realized what was happening.
"How come you have this kind of drug at home? It's a banned substance!"
"Yes, what if my Huaiyuan gets sick from eating this? You'll have to pay for it!"
“We Huaiyuan are also innocent men. Now your girl has defiled our bodies, so you have to compensate us.”
"Yes, compensation!"
Led by Mu Zhou, the direction of everyone's attack became increasingly skewed.
They started by demanding an explanation from the Li family.
As Gu Huaiyuan listened to these words, his head began to ache more and more. He even began to wonder if the medicine really had any side effects.
She subconsciously looked at Mu Zhou, and their eyes met.
He pursed his lips and gave a cold snort.

The Li family eventually slunk away.
Let's just consider it as if we raised this daughter for nothing.
Even if my heart is bleeding, I have no choice but to accept it, otherwise the Gu family will hold me back.
After all, the source of that drug is shady, and if things really get out of hand, they could get arrested by the police.
Mu Zhou and Gu Huaiyuan held their wedding that same day.
Taking advantage of my elder brother's wedding banquet, since everyone was there, the tables and chairs weren't returned, and even the chef was there, we went to buy some meat and vegetables and held another banquet.
Mu Zhou sat alone in Gu Huaiyuan's room.
The Li family has all left.
She didn't even have a wedding dress.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law had a new dress, which was red. Because it was too big, she was planning to have it altered by a tailor when she got back to the city.
As it turned out, Mu Zhou tried it on and it fit perfectly.
The bright red suit does indeed give her a bride-like feel.
Gu Huaiyuan secretly gave thirty yuan to his sister-in-law as money for her new wedding dress.
The eldest sister-in-law initially refused, but couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to accept it.
She looked at Gu Huaiyuan's back and tilted her head in confusion.
She thought her brother-in-law felt humiliated by the marriage and was unwilling to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to give her the money on Mu Zhou's behalf.
It seems they completely treat Mu Zhou like family.

Inside the room, Mu Zhou changed his clothes and applied lipstick to his lips.
0001 is a constant reminder.
[Gu Huaiyuan's favorability has increased by 3%...]
[Gu Huaiyuan's favorability has increased by 3%...]
[Gu Huaiyuan's favorability has increased by 2%...]
[Gu Huaiyuan's favorability has increased by 2%, current favorability -10%]
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
Mu Zhou sighed.
She wore her hair in a braid with a red string tied inside, which made her look a bit more festive.
She looked at herself in the mirror.
Her eyebrows were the wild eyebrows that are popular in later generations, with each hair clearly defined, natural and casual, requiring no further makeup.
As for the foundation, it's just too white.
Her skin is dark from years of hard work; if you force her to apply makeup, it will only backfire and make her look like a clown.
Finally, Mu Zhou applied some lipstick to her fingertips and gently blended it onto her eyelids and eyelids.
This also enhanced the beauty of her eyes.
She is quite beautiful and charming.
After tidying everything up, she put the red veil over her head.
