Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Are You Tired of Living?

She gripped the pesticide and, with a huff, turned and left, once again arriving at the bridal chamber. In front of all the relatives and friends, she slammed the bottle of pesticide down on the table with a bang.

"Didn’t you say you loved him very much? Since you love her so, I’ll grant you your wish. This is a bottle of pesticide. If you dare to drink it, I’ll let you both go without another word today."

"Goodness! You girl! You’re committing a crime here, one that can land you in big trouble, even prison." Cuihua’s mother was startled at the sight.

"I don’t plan on going to prison. I just want to see if she dares to drink it!" Cuihua stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Gu Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang glanced at the bottle of pesticide and asked Cuihua, "Will you keep your word?"

"I will."

"Fine, then I’ll drink it." Gu Shuangshuang picked up the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and tilted her head back to drink.

"This is going to cost someone their life."

"Little girl, it’s not worth it to throw your life away over this."

It was then that Tian Niu, panting heavily, barged in, snatched the bottle from Gu Shuangshuang’s hands, and with a clang, smashed it fiercely onto the ground.

With red eyes, he bellowed, "Gu Shuangshuang, have you lost your mind?"

Gu Shuangshuang stared at the bottle on the ground, dumbstruck.

"You’re too foolish!" Tian Niu, a tall and strong man, was moved to tears by the scene. He bent down, lifted Gu Shuangshuang in his arms, and rushed outside, "Am I worth risking your life for? You silly girl!"

"Put me down, now!" Gu Shuangshuang commanded.

"Put you down? We need to get to a hospital to get your stomach pumped!" Tian Niu was frantic.

"What I drank doesn’t seem to be pesticide," Gu Shuangshuang said, looking at him.

It was only at that moment that everyone in the room noticed the sour scent that had begun to pervade the tense atmosphere.

"It’s vinegar." Someone shouted.

Everyone crowded around, sniffing the odor vigorously.

Sure enough, it had the sour tang of vinegar.

"Good heavens! You ancestor, you!" Cuihua’s mother exclaimed, startled, "Why on earth would you pour good vinegar into a pesticide bottle?"

All the people also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Niu finally set Gu Shuangshuang down, his soul having nearly been frightened away moments before.

Gu Shuangshuang walked up to Cuihua, bowed sincerely, and said, "Thank you! Thank you for giving us this opportunity."

"I didn’t want to give you the chance," Cuihua’s eyes too turned red, "but he doesn’t love me. If he had even a bit of feeling for me, rest assured, I would never have let you take him away today."

"Thank you, Cuihua. A kind-hearted girl like you will definitely find a good man who loves you," Gu Shuangshuang was moved by her.

In such a situation, not everyone could let go so generously.

My ordinary-looking girl did it!

She gave him and Tian Niu another chance.

Seeing how things had turned out, Cuihua’s parents knew that the marriage was no longer possible.

If they continued to make a fuss, it would only make their daughter suffer more. It was better to just let it go.

"The two of you can leave," Cuihua’s mother said.

"When we leave, how will you handle all of this?" Tian Niu asked.

"You don’t need to worry about that. We’ve already been humiliated, a little more won’t make any difference."

After some thought, Tian Niu said to Cuihua’s parents, "How about this? Since the banquet is already set, if you don’t mind, I’d like to take Cuihua as my sworn sister, okay?"

"Alright! Alright!" Cuihua’s father agreed readily.

So, the day’s events took a turn and it became a banquet for Tian Niu to take on a sworn sister.

Gu Shuangshuang and Tian Niu stayed at Cuihua’s home the entire day. When they left, Gu Shuangshuang took out the money she had brought with her and handed it to Cuihua, "Here’s eight hundred yuan. Take it as a small compensation from us."
