Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 231 Weird
Of course, this is just Xu Qingmeng's personal opinion; everyone has their own thoughts.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a long time until Zhizhi and Ruirui started crying, at which point the Fang family members left.

When Ms. He arrived home, it was already very late. In the dead of winter, she was chilled to the bone. Her face was filled with deep weariness and emotion.

"Mother, how is it?"

Aunt Li was rescued by Little Li in time; she was still breathing. Luckily, there was a doctor nearby who immediately performed first aid. It seems that she is out of danger.

"The person has been rescued, but the water is already quite cold in the dead of winter, especially well water. They'll need a long time to recover, and this will definitely leave them with lasting health problems. It's almost the New Year, and all this is..."

This is truly a terrible tragedy!
As she spoke, Mrs. He shook her head, unsure of what to say about Aunt Li.

However, according to He's account, not long after Xu Qingmeng left, Aunt Li woke up and didn't say anything, she just kept crying!

Liu Ying just stared at her coldly without saying a word until her parents arrived, and then everyone found out.

Aunt Li had gone back to her parents' home when she left the prefectural city. She learned that her niece was still unmarried because Liu Ying was unable to have children. So she wanted Li Cheng to divorce her and remarry her niece.

Li Cheng had already refused, but Aunt Li's family encouraged her to force the issue, and when Liu Ying found out, things turned out this way.

However, Liu Ying firmly stated that she did not inflict the injuries on Aunt Li, but the more she explained, the more unclear it became.

Aunt Li didn't say anything, she just kept crying. Liu Ying's parents couldn't hold back anymore, so they pulled Liu Ying away and left, leaving behind the words: "Let's get a divorce."

The head of the Li family remained silent, while Li Cheng chased after Liu Ying.

Mrs. He didn't know what to say either.

"Although Aunt Li's actions were wrong, her husband and Li Cheng were not without fault either. It was their negligence that led to this outcome."

"And at such an advanced age, it's obvious that her husband doesn't care about her, and her son is disloyal. What will become of her in the future? Sigh!"

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi exchanged a glance, neither knowing how to comfort Madam He!

“Mother, everyone has their own way of living. This is all their own doing. Aunt Li is not innocent either!” Gu Yunyi said.

"How could Mother not know? Never mind, it's so late, everyone go back and rest. My baby is still inside, he must be hungry soon."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Qingmeng watched He Shi's retreating figure, then raised her hand and took Gu Yunyi's arm: "Let's go!"

The next day, Xu Qingmeng was at home selecting servants.

However, this time it wasn't Little Li who came with his men. After all, he fell into the water while rescuing someone yesterday, and even the strongest person can catch a chill in the dead of winter. He's currently lying at home.

They had originally thought that the purchase of the person would take at least a few days.

Early this morning, brokers came to the door.

This man's surname was Zhao, and he claimed to be a friend of Little Li, but the two had different professions. Little Li specialized in buying and selling houses, while he specialized in buying and selling slaves.

As soon as the woman surnamed Zhao entered, she bowed and scraped, addressing everyone as "Madam" and "Young Madam."

He even said that Leonardo DiCaprio sent him, and there was a long line of people behind him, all sorts of people.

As soon as the person entered, Xu Qingmeng frowned. This person didn't look like someone who could do any work!

Mrs. He also felt it was inappropriate, but since the person had come to her door with others, it was not good to leave them waiting at the door.

After welcoming the people in, Madam He sent someone to call the servants.

Xu Qingmeng then called Gu Tong and asked him to go to Xiao Li's house to inquire.

After all this time, Xiao Li is still quite reliable. Even if someone comes, Xu Qingmeng thinks he will at least let her know, since the two families don't live far apart.

Upon entering the courtyard, the man surnamed Zhang's eyes darted around, and he asked familiarly, "Why haven't we seen Young Master Gu? I heard from Little Li that Young Master Gu is a scholar. I even brought a few clever and literate people with me, thinking they might come in handy for Young Master Gu."

Xu Qingmeng felt this person was unreliable as soon as she saw him, and now that she heard him say this, she immediately said, "No need, he has a page, and we are looking for a capable old woman."

Mrs. He said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say that Little Li sent you? Didn't he explain it to you clearly?"

Zhao's face froze instantly, and he quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I told you, I told you. It's just that I was thinking that since Madam's family is so large and powerful, and you've only been in the prefectural city for a short time, you must need quite a few people. I was thinking of bringing more people so that Madam could choose some."

Madam He glanced at the people he brought and said, "We're not some wealthy family, just an ordinary one. If it weren't for the amount of work we have, I probably wouldn't have hired any of them. And look at the people you brought—this one, that one, and those over there—do they look like they can actually do any work?"

The man surnamed Zhao's lips twitched as he listened. He had thought she was just a woman from the countryside, but he hadn't expected her to be so insightful.

The girls that Madam He pointed out were either delicate maids or those who had been dismissed by their masters for being lazy and cunning.

He was even more uneasy, wondering if He had just gotten lucky by accident or if she had something in mind and was deliberately trying to humiliate him.

However, Madam He didn't completely rule out the possibility, nor did she dare to speculate. She then said with a smile, "Madam, you can just pick the ones that suit your taste. Don't worry about the ones that don't suit your taste; I'll take them back later."

Without even thinking, Mrs. He said, "Of course it is. My family isn't rich."

The man surnamed Zhao coughed lightly twice, unable to suppress his embarrassment.

Although Madam He wasn't particularly shrewd, she was still very perceptive and knew exactly what the young man in front of her was thinking.

Given how much Mrs. He liked Xu Qingmeng, how could she allow such a thing to happen in the family?

Upon hearing this, the pretty maids immediately stood up straight, and their expressions changed.

Unfortunately, even so, He's gaze did not linger on them. However, not all of them were like that; there were still some who were useful.

For example, the one with calluses on his hand looked like he had a lot of strength, and the other two over there looked alright too. I felt a little better, at least this guy surnamed Zhao didn't just send in a bunch of slackers.

Thank you to all my friends who support me!
