Peasant woman's day

Chapter 25

Aunt Huang was finally persuaded and left.Fu Rong took a sip of water and collapsed in the chair. Seeing Yuan Yuan sitting on the bench and staring at her, Fu Rong couldn't help being surprised: "Why didn't Yuan Yuan talk today?"

"Mother, do you have meat for your birthday?" Yuanyuan asked seriously.

Fu Rong's heart trembled, she put down her cup, went to Yuan Yuan's side and knelt down, and touched his little head: "Yuan Yuan, do you still remember Mammy?"

Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, seemed to be thinking for a while, then nodded: "I can't wake up my mother-in-law. I'm hungry."

Furong suddenly remembered the first time she saw Yuanyuan, he was lying all alone under the wheel with a dirty appearance, she couldn't help but embrace him in her arms, and said distressedly: "Mother assures you, in the future Definitely won't be hungry."

"Mom, can I eat meat for my birthday?" Yuanyuan asked with her face raised.

Furong's forehead touched his forehead: "Do you still remember mother?"

Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then opened her arms and hugged Fu Rong's waist, and called out sweetly: "Mother!"

Fu Rong's heart was sour, a one-year-old child would not have memories.Fu Rong touched his head: "After the birthdays of Sister Tao and Brother Tianheng are over, it will be Yuanyuan's birthday. Mother will make some delicious food for Yuanyuan then, okay?"

"Okay!" Yuanyuan agreed loudly, and smacked Fu Rong's face.Seeing his flushed face, Fu Rong really wanted to take a bite.After thinking for a long time, she changed to pinching.

Outside the house, Gu Qingchen's hand that was about to push the door paused. Hearing the sound of Furong and Yuanyuan playing inside, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingchen's mouth. He was going to heat up the kang, hey, hold his wife and children on the hot kang. Hey.

The rumor that Aunt Huang came to spread last time did not intensify, probably because Aunt Huang's propaganda had an effect.The days are getting hotter and hotter, and the cotton has entered a mature period.

Furong is very busy these days. After finishing the housework every day, she goes out to visit those who grow cotton.What you need for your own workshop is large scale.The workmanship of the last few shipments was good, but the cotton wasn't very good, and the quality of the cloth wasn't very good.However, the cloth shop in the town does not need very good cloth.Therefore, based on the results of Gu Qingchen's investigation some time ago, Fu Rong went to ask those whose cotton fiber length was about medium.

Because it was a large batch, Furong and Hongmian bought a few hundred catties of cotton with some of the money earned from the previous batches.At this time, the cotton has just begun to mature, and the price is more than ten cents more expensive than in the peak season.What Furong and the others want to do is long-term business, and the price of cloth is also low at this time, so they are not in a hurry to sell.

As soon as Furong came home that day, she saw a young woman with high cheekbones and thin lips coming out of Mrs. Gu's room.The three-point portrait with Mrs. Gu made Furong realize in an instant, this, should it be the Sister Gu whom she has never met before?

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing standing at the door? Didn't you say it was hot just now, and you want to go back and take a shower?" Gu Qingchen walked up with something in his hand, and just after he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Sister Gu who was standing in the yard , the smile on his face suddenly faded.His voice suddenly collapsed, and he said lightly, "Elder Sister." Then, without paying attention to what Elder Sister Gu said, he said to Fu Rong, "Daughter-in-law, I'll go back to fetch water first." As he spoke, he walked quickly Hurry up, don't look at Miss Gu again.

Fu Rong smiled at Sister Gu, and followed Gu Qingchen's pace.She didn't expect herself to be someone who could save the world and smooth out all wounds.She can't even settle things that time can't even settle.Fu Rong put the matter aside, thinking about going back to take a bath, her body was stuck to death.

Sister Gu's complexion instantly collapsed, she turned around and opened the curtain again to go in.Mrs. Gu was putting things down, when she heard a noise, she turned her head and saw that Sister Gu was sitting on the chair, her face full of anger.Mrs. Gu hurriedly stuffed the box inside and closed the cabinet door: "Aren't you going out to talk to Ye'er and the others? Why did you come back so soon? Who gave you anger?"

"Mother, it's not that I want to sue in front of you, it's just that these three younger siblings are too arrogant. Last time I came back, she drove the third child away without saying a word. This time is even better. She didn't even say hello when she saw me. Hit one." Sister Gu rolled her eyes, "Mother, didn't she come from a rich family? I heard that this kind of maid usually has eyes on the top of her head, so she really thinks she is a young lady. It doesn't matter if she treats me like this today, but tomorrow, she won't even look down on you. That's really..." Sister Gu stopped talking for a moment.

Mrs. Gu fell silent.The third daughter-in-law, apart from dragging a child, she is still satisfied.But the matchmaker at the time assured her again and again that she also went to visit, and that the child was indeed not Furong's own, so she agreed.Sister Gu didn't quite agree with what she said.The situation between the third child and her, Mrs. Gu still has a certain idea in her heart.

Elder Sister Gu understands Mrs. Gu's temperament very well, if Mrs. Gu listens to it, she must at least say a few words.Now I don't say a word, I'm afraid I didn't take it to heart.Sister Gu turned her face and said: "Mother, I am afraid that you will suffer. The third sibling has dragged the child again, and she has a dowry. Look, what kind of workshop does she want to open? Have you discussed it with you? Take a look." The daughter-in-law of the family goes out every day so recklessly, and doesn’t do anything at home. Mom, it’s fine if I can’t share your worries, but I’m worried about your health. You have to worry about Tianheng, and you have to give There are so many things going on at home, and my daughter can't bear to watch them." Sister Gu wiped her tears as she spoke.

Sister Gu cried, but she cried to the heart of Mrs. Gu.When Mrs. Gu heard that Sister Gu mentioned the workshop, she remembered the rumors she heard a while ago.If there is no sign, how could those people chew their tongues like this.Mrs. Gu kept comforting Sister Gu.Sister Gu took the opportunity to twitch and talked a lot about how Mrs. Gu pulled her and how she did good things for her in the past, and how tired Mrs. Gu is now.Mrs. Gu already loved her eldest daughter, so one or two of these words caught my ears.

The next day, Fu Rong felt that the atmosphere at home had changed.That day, Mrs. Gu was cooking, and Furong came a little late because Yuanyuan wet a pair of pants and wanted to change him.Mrs. Gu and the others had already eaten, and Gu Qingchen had picked up a chicken leg before giving it to Fu Rong.After Fu Rong came, Mrs. Gu slapped her chopsticks on the table: "Are you here because I have to ask you to cook? You don't help with the cooking. When you eat, you only choose good food!"

Gu Qingchen stopped and sat up straight: "Mother, this is what I picked up for her. She shouldn't be cooking today."

As soon as Gu Qingchen opened his mouth, Fu Rong saw that Mrs. Gu's face had changed, and knew something was wrong, so she secretly pulled the corner of Gu Qingchen's clothes, but Gu Qingchen continued talking without paying attention.

"I can't even say a few words about her now, can I?" Mrs. Gu suddenly became angry, and slapped her hand on the table, "Third brother, you can see for yourself what you have become now!"

Gu Qingchen's face was calm: "Mother, if Furong did something wrong today, you say her, but I won't say it. The second sister-in-law was a quarter of an hour late, and you specially ordered to leave food for her. Today It's not time for this meal, and Fu Rong didn't come to start the meal. She can't eat anything good on weekdays, and I picked up a chicken leg for her, and I even provoked you to talk about it .Could it be that the second sister-in-law can eat it, but Furong can't?"

Mrs. Gu stood up abruptly, pointed at Fu Rong and said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did this woman give you to make you talk to her? Did she use all the tricks to seduce the young master of the Fan family on you? Let your soul be gone!"

"Mother! Food can be eaten indiscriminately, but nonsense can't be said!" Fu Rong originally wanted to calm things down, but when she heard Gu's words, she blushed with anger and said coldly, "How was my situation back then, the matchmaker It was also made clear. Whether I am innocent or not, it is not up to others to criticize me!" Fu Rong glanced at Sister Gu.

"Okay! It was a good meal at home, what are you doing now!" Father Gu put his wine glass aside, "What are you going to do with such black eyes! It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"

Gu Lao Niang listened to Gu Lao Dae not only did not support her, but also reprimanded herself, she couldn't get off the stage immediately, sat down on her buttocks, and wiped her tears: "I have worked for your old Guo family for so many years, and now I even say It's all my fault! My daughter-in-law is riding on my head, and my son won't help me."

Seeing that Father Gu was about to get angry, Gu Qingchen stood up all of a sudden, the stool rubbed on the ground, and made a creaking sound: "Mother, you have never been so unreasonable before. You also know that Furong is your daughter-in-law , If you say that about her, have you considered my feelings!"

Boss Gu stood up immediately when he saw Gu Qingchen talking like this: "Third brother, how can you talk to mother like that."

With a sneer on the corner of Gu Qingchen's mouth, he looked at Boss Gu and said, "Brother, I can't bear it after I said these two words. Then what mother said to Furong just now, could it be that Furong can bear it. If today is Mother said that to sister-in-law? What about elder brother?"

Gu Qingchen was obviously so aggressive.Boss Gu was not good at words, but after hearing what Gu Qingchen said, his face turned red, and he faltered: "I..."
