Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 12 - 0: The Suicidal Niu Family Brothers

```

Village Chief Gu's face immediately darkened. That foolish woman, couldn't she keep her voice down? What if the nearby disaster victims heard her and learned about the water source?

Ms. Zheng's husband, Gu Youlu, was very tactful. He quickly covered Ms. Zheng's mouth and said to Village Chief Gu, "Village chief, please don't take offense at this unruly woman's words. I'll make sure she keeps quiet and doesn't speak out of turn."

Village Chief Gu snorted coldly, lowering his voice to warn the villagers, "Whoever dares to ruin the village's livelihood, I will drive them out. Don't say I'm heartless then."

The people of Gu Family Village nodded and agreed, ready with all available containers to fetch water.

However, due to Ms. Zheng's remark, the disaster victims nearby had already taken notice, and they were now all looking towards the gathering place of the Gu Family Village.

Village Chief Gu gave Ms. Zheng a disapproving glance, furious. He didn't let the villagers fetch water right away but pretended to continue lecturing the villagers.

Upon receiving such a glare from the village chief, Ms. Zheng became fearful but felt extremely uncomfortable inside. She despised Gu Jinli so much. How come that wretched girl was so lucky as to find a water source?

Not only Ms. Zheng, but everyone from the Old Gu Family felt the same, especially Qian Li'er and Granny Gu.

Qian Li'er said to Granny Gu with concern, "Grandma, why didn't cousin Xiao Yu tell the family after discovering the water source, and instead informed Third Old Master and the others? Could it be that cousin Xiao Yu resents our family?"

Granny Gu's face turned pale with anger. She didn't respond to Qian Li'er but seethed with hatred for Gu Dashan's family in her heart. How dare they not inform her about the water source? She thought, just wait, she would make Gu Dashan's family regret it.

Village Chief Gu loudly scolded Gu Dashan and Luo Tiezhu, making sure the disaster victims around heard him blaming someone, intentionally misleading them into thinking their village's halt was due to some villagers running late.

When most of the nearby disaster victims had gone, Village Chief Gu then hurried the villagers to take their things and follow Third Grandpa into the mountains.

Once they arrived at the water source, they saw Gu Jinli, Gu Jin'an, Luo Huiniang, Luo Wu, and Uncle Tian collecting and filtering water, and by the water pit were already four jars of clear water.

Seeing this water, the villagers were ecstatic, and those who lacked water at home were moved to tears.

Granny Gu was shrewd. She immediately urged her three sons, "Youwen, Youfu, Youlu, what are you waiting for? Go and help everyone fetch water," putting on airs as if she were the host.

Uncle Gu Er, Third Uncle Gu, and Fourth Uncle Gu rushed to help, and Qian Guangzong, the husband of Gu Dagu, grabbed the rope from Uncle Tian's hand, lowered the water jar into the pit, and started drawing water.

Fourth Uncle Gu and Ms. Zheng took two jars of water and began pouring them into their home's water jars, acting like bandits.

Gu Jinli rushed to bring a jar of water she had to Village Chief Gu and smiled, "Grandpa Village Chief, everyone must be thirsty. Please have some water first."

Comparing the two parties, everyone found the actions of Fourth Uncle Gu and Ms. Zheng particularly glaring.

Village Chief Gu took the jar of water from Gu Jinli with joy, saying, "Good child, you've done our village a great service. We will remember this."

The other villagers also said, "Xiao Yu's luck is changing for the better after escaping disaster. She found a water source for our village."

Gu Jinli smiled warmly, "Grandpa Village Chief, uncles, and aunties, this isn't just my credit. It's also thanks to Third Grandpa and my dad who worked through the night to dig up the water. They are the ones who didn't sleep all night and have endured the most hardship."

Village Chief Gu's face reddened slightly, quickly adding, "Their hard work will be remembered by the village as well."

With one comment, Granny Gu's schemes fell through. No matter who was helping the villagers fetch water now, everyone knew that the real heroes providing them water were Third Grandpa and the families of Gu Dashan and others.

Granny Gu was so angry that it caused her liver to ache. She looked towards Gu Dagu.

Gu Dagu immediately yelled at Gu Jinli, "Xiao Yu, come quickly! Your granny is so thirsty she's about to faint." She accused Gu Jinli of having water but not giving it to Granny Gu to drink, with the intent of letting Granny Gu die of thirst.

Gu Jinli sneered inwardly, saying to Fourth Uncle Gu and Ms. Zheng, "Uncle, Auntie, Granny is about to faint from thirst. Where's the water you took just now? Give Granny a few sips quickly."

Gu Dagu got choked up, while Granny Gu glared at Ms. Zheng, this fool, always spoiling more than helping, what was she doing grabbing water? Now she got what she deserved, like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own foot.

Ms. Zheng, who had just gleefully drunk a few sips of water, shrank back upon hearing this. She quickly filled a bowl with water and brought it to Granny Gu.

Gu Jinli didn't bother with Granny Gu's family and was instead instructing the villagers on how to filter water.

While the Gu Family Village people were fetching water, a group of refugees lay in the distant weeds, their eyes hungry like wolves as they watched the villagers at the watering site.

These refugees were the five brothers of the Niu family from Niutou Gully.

In the morning gathering, they noticed that something was off about the Gu Family Village people and concluded that they must have discovered something valuable. That's why they did not immediately hit the road but instead told their family, then followed the villagers into the mountains and indeed saw them fetching water.

"Big brother, it's really water, we struck gold this time," Niu Xiaozhuang, holding a sharp rock, stared greedily at the jars of water, his throat parched.

Niu Erzhuang was more clever, whispering to Niu Dazhuang, "Big brother, the Gu Family Village people are numerous; just the few of us brothers can't snatch the water. Let's have Sizhuang run back and tell our clan, bring them here to seize the water."

Niu Sizhuang was a fast runner, he could leave the mountains and inform the clan in no more than 30 minutes.

Niu Dazhuang, who had been chewing on some grass roots to moisten his throat, heard what Niu Erzhuang said and told Niu Sizhuang, "Sizhuang, go back, call all our Niu family clan members, today we must take their water!"

Niu Sizhuang acknowledged with a sound, while maneuvering his body through the weeds, retreated backwards, ready to stand up and run back to summon the people after getting out of a certain range.

Gu Jinli, having often carried out missions in the wilderness in his previous life, always kept an eye on his surroundings. He noticed something unusual in the bushes and urgently said to Luo Wu next to him, "Brother Luo Wu, there seems to be someone in the grasses on our left, have we been followed?"

Luo Wu looked towards the left grasses, and indeed saw the wild grasses shaking violently. He said, "You go tell the village chief and my dad, I'll block them off."

Gu Jinli nodded, instructing Luo Huiniang to find Father Luo, while he himself went to find Village Chief Gu, reporting the abnormalities in the bushes, "Village Chief Grandpa, this is our lifesaving water, we absolutely can't let others snatch it away. We must capture everyone in those bushes."

He also told the village chief about Luo Wu's move to block off the trespassers.

The village chief was discussing with Third Old Master, when he heard Gu Jinli's words, both elders were shocked. Indeed, they had been targeted by the refugees.

"Niu Sizhuang, halt!" Luo Wu's voice suddenly rang out. Turned out, Niu Sizhuang had seen Luo Wu and started running; Luo Wu was now shouting as he gave chase.

Seeing that they were discovered, the remaining Niu family brothers immediately emerged from the grass, fleeing in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Gu urgently shouted, "Quick, catch them! We can't let them get away. If one escapes, we won't be able to keep our water safe! This is our water for survival!"

The Gu Family Village people immediately picked up their shoulder poles and grabbed their clubs, giving chase.

Gu Jinli also picked up her own club and followed the villagers in pursuit. This Niu family's foolishness meant signing their own death warrant. She hadn't even sought revenge yet, and here they were, delivering themselves to her doorstep.

Daring to come and take the water, this time she didn't even need to make a move; the Gu Family Village people, in order to keep their water, would definitely beat the Niu family brothers senseless.
