The fierce stepmother of the farm family, brought her cubs to get rich

Chapter 112: Secretly Observing
The "village woman" chopping firewood in front of her is clean and neat, and the strength of swinging the ax is really not what ordinary girls can do. Besides, this woman looks only about the same age as her master.

No wonder.

No wonder Miss Su sent so many people just to catch this person.

There are many trees in the mountains, and the man's clothes are darker. If he hides in the forest, it will be impossible to see where he is at a glance.

After hiding behind the tree and observing Gu Manxiu for a while, the man turned and left.

"These should be about the same," Gu Manxiu murmured, looking at the ten neatly bundled bundles of firewood lying on the ground.

When I went up the mountain today, I just wanted to cut five or six bundles, but I kept thinking about things in my mind, and it had been a long time since I had sweated so hard, so I accidentally forgot the time.

In the mountains early in the morning, when Gu Manxiu looked up at the sky again, the sun was almost setting.

After putting the firewood on the ground into the storage space that came with the small axe, Gu Manxiu lay on his back on the open space where the firewood was put just now, a little bit exhausted, and looked at the sky with his head empty.

The sky in this world doesn't seem to be much different from the sky in today's era. In the past, Gu Manxiu often lay down and looked at the sky after finishing his training in the army.

It's her only way of decompression.

No one can talk about his troubles, Gu Manxiu can't even talk to himself, he can only look at the sky like this, as if he can live in this way, and let all the troubles in his heart go away.

The clouds in the sky were gradually dyed orange by the setting sun, and the wind was blowing in the direction of the field. Although there was no smell of the field, it still carried some warmth.

Gu Manxiu closed her eyes and muttered, "What the hell am I bothering about?"

task progress?

Or those three little wolf cubs?
Still homesick?
Gu Manxiu denied these thoughts one by one, and she understood that these were not the reasons for her being so depressed.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" A little bird landed near Gu Manxiu, as if curious as to why there was a person lying there, and after trimming its feathers, it tilted its head to look at her.

"It's over!" Gu Manxiu got up from the ground.After carrying the bundle of firewood that was specially set aside, he hurried down the mountain.

I almost forgot that there are three children waiting for dinner after school! !

Gu Manxiu had already used a lot of energy when chopping firewood, no matter how fast she was at this time, she still didn't arrive home in time for the children after school.

"Mother, you're back!" Gao Xiaoyue, who was standing at the door counting stones, greeted her with a smile.

Gu Manxiu's palms were a little red, and she quickly took two steps back: "Don't leave little ancestor! I'm dirty!"

After chopping firewood for a whole day, there was either dust or sawdust on her body, and Gu Manxiu felt extremely uncomfortable just walking the distance back.

Gao Xiaoyue didn't stop her pace, she still rushed straight into Gu Manxiu's arms, with a smile on her face that made her feel uneasy.

"Why are you alone, where are the distant mountains and rivers?" Gu Manxiu asked as she walked into the door with someone.

If the Gao family brothers were there, it would definitely not be so quiet at this time.

Gao Xiaoyue followed behind Gu Manxiu, holding her clothes tightly with her small hands, she raised her head and replied, "Brother will be back soon, they are going to feed the piglets!"

If Gao Xiaoyue didn't mention this matter, Gu Manxiu would almost forget that she still had some piglets and chickens.

Just as the two were talking, Gao Yuanshan and Gao Changhe walked in from the door, both of them still holding the small pots that Gu Manxiu used to feed pigs on weekdays.

"Hey, what happened to your two brothers today?" Gu Manxiu laughed.

Gao Yuanshan put down the small basin in his hand: "That little pig barked in hunger, we heard it on the way home from school."

While saying this, Gao Yuanshan looked at Gu Manxiu's hands that were a little red from chopping firewood, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

In the past, when I still hated Gu Manxiu, I felt that no matter how much this woman did, it was because of a guilty conscience, but the more we got along, the more Gao Yuanshan could not ignore everything Gu Manxiu did.

A woman supporting a family with three children is still much more tiring than others.

[Gao Changhe: Add two to the favorability, now the favorability is 60.00% two. 】

This electronic sound made Gu Manxiu raise his eyebrows and looked at Gao Yuanshan in surprise. Before the surprise was over, the system spoke again.

[Congratulations to the host for fulfilling the conditions, opening part of the storage items in the appliance. 】

Whoa! ! !
Gu Manxiu's eyes lit up immediately.

There are quite a lot of things in my small axe! ! !Although I don't know which things are being opened now, none of the things in her small ax are bad, even if they are only opened, it can make Gu Manxiu happy for a long time.

"Okay!!!" Gu Manxiu suddenly stood up and smiled, "Then let's have a good meal today!!"

The space is opening up a bit, and it has to be celebrated!
Gu Manxiu's sudden emotion stunned the Gao brothers.

I just went to feed a pig, right?Didn't do anything else earth-shattering?

After Gu Manxiu finished speaking, she immediately walked to the kitchen, picked up the knife and started to get busy.

"Brother, isn't Brother Jiang coming back today?" Gao Changhe held a handful of shallots in his hand, chatting with Gao Yuanshan while peeling them.

Gao Yuanshan also moved a small stool over to peel it together, and replied: "I don't know, but I guess Mother and Brother Jiang must have had a fight."

"Arguing?" Gao Xiaoyue suddenly rushed out from behind the two of them, and repeated these two words in confusion.

"Yes, quarrel."

Gao Xiaoyue put her little hand on her waist like this, snorted and said, "Brother Jiang must be arguing with mother because mother is too stupid!"

Gao Changhe, who wanted to like to fight with this younger sister, immediately retorted: "How can you say that your mother is stupid?"

Among the three, this younger sister likes Gu Manxiu the most, everyone can feel this, but it is a bit unexpected, on this matter, Gao Xiaoyue has been nodding her head to affirm her own thoughts.

"Just stupid!"

Gao Xiaoyue said in her heart: even Brother Jiang likes mother, but mother can't tell, such mother, isn't she an idiot!
In the dead of night, almost every house had their candles extinguished, but there were still one or two scattered households in the village that were lit, perhaps for reading books at night, or perhaps mending clothes in the middle of the night.

Zhou Miao watched Wang Yuanbao fall asleep on the bed before putting on his clothes. He was afraid of waking up the people on the bed, so he went out lightly.

squeak-

The sound of the old wooden door made Zhou Miao feel a little uneasy, just closing a door, he looked around several times.
