Chapter 57 Xue was stunned
"Sister Xiaoxi, I won't go. Chen San will take you there. It won't interfere with my studies." Chen Qinian said seriously.
Gu Xiaoxi...
Is this what you are talking about?
Doesn’t this kid know anything?
Seeing that Sister Xiaoxi didn't say anything, Chen Qinian started to act coquettishly: "Sister, you are my biological sister. If you don't agree, my second uncle will punish me when I go back."
Mrs. Xue had never ridden in a rich family's carriage before, so she also spoke up for Chen Qinian: "Xiaoxi, this child is so good, don't make things difficult for him. Besides, if he goes out to take a carriage now, it may not be available immediately. Aren't you in a hurry to get up the mountain?"
Gu Dongming pulled his wife hard and glared at her fiercely.
Gu Nanming also frowned, thinking that his sister-in-law had no sense at all.
Gu Xiaoxi wanted to say something, but she didn't want to be laughed at by others. She finally nodded and agreed: "This is just this once, and it won't happen again."
"I understand, Sister Xiaoxi." Seeing that Sister Xiaoxi agreed, Chen Qinian happily gave Chen San another wink.
Chen San got off the carriage and helped tie the backpack to the top of the carriage so that they could sit more comfortably.
However, when Gu Xiaoxi and the others got on the carriage, they found that there were two backpacks on it, and the backpacks were still full.
Xue looked at the baskets with envy, but when she saw that her sister-in-law didn't say anything, she looked away.
When the carriage was about to reach the city gate, Gu Xiaoxi got off the carriage and bought some buns, and everyone had lunch in the carriage.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Gu Xiaoxi asked Chen San to stop and everyone got off the carriage together.
Chen San was not in a hurry to take down the backpack on the roof of the car, but took down the backpack on the carriage.
"Miss Xiaoxi, this is what our young master prepared for you. Please accept it!" He said with a nod.
"I don't want to take the things, take them back." Gu Xiaoxi said coldly.
"Miss Xiaoxi, please don't make things difficult for me, okay? I'm kneeling down in front of you." Chen San knew that if he didn't complete the task, the second young master would definitely be unhappy, so he really knelt down after he said that.
Gu Xiaoxi...
You actually try this.
She sighed helplessly and pulled the man up: "Okay, I'll take it this time. Next time, even if you kneel and break your knees, I won't take it again."
Seeing that Miss Xiaoxi accepted it, Chen San bowed and thanked her repeatedly, then took the empty backpack down from the roof of the car.
Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming carried the two full backpacks, Xue and Gu Xiaoxi carried the empty backpacks, and they all walked home together.
Xue was so happy along the way, wondering what was in the two baskets and how much she could share when she got home.
As a result, when I got home, I was slapped hard as soon as the door was closed.
Bang!
Xue was completely stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
"You are such a blind bastard. You know nothing and yet you dare to talk nonsense. I will beat you to death!" Gu Dongming was about to attack again but was stopped by Gu Xiaoxi.
"Brother, you can't always hit people. If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely." Although Gu Xiaoxi was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law's behavior today, she was very opposed to domestic violence.
"Wow... What did I do wrong?" Xue said in confusion, covering her face.
Gu Dongming opened his mouth, but worried that someone might have ears, so he dragged the person back to his room.
"Brother, you can't hit my sister-in-law anymore, otherwise I will ignore you in the future." Gu Xiaoxi chased after him and shouted.
After a long time, Gu Dongming's voice came from the room: "I know."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard her elder brother's response, she cleaned up the house here, moved all her things over, and stayed in the yard tonight.
After finishing, she was about to go out with the basket on her back, but her sister-in-law appeared in front of her.
Xue learned from her husband that her sister-in-law and her family were intercepted on the way out that day, and also learned about Chen Qinian's identity. Only then did she realize that she was not wrongly beaten.
First of all, he is the young master of a big family, but she treats him like a servant today.
Second, accepting things from others also means that the sister-in-law may have to do things for others.
Although she used to hate her sister-in-law, it was different now. Her sister-in-law helped them make money.
She also wanted to live a good life and didn't want to confuse things, so she came over to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I, I didn't know so many things had happened." Her face was full of sincerity, and she didn't know where to put her hands because she was nervous.
"Sister-in-law, there's a saying that goes 'no reward without merit,' which means if you take something from someone, you must return it, either by paying them back or repaying a favor.
There are some favors we can't afford to owe, especially to the sons of wealthy families. They might turn against us anytime soon, and then ask us to return the favor. What will we use to repay them? "Gu Xiaoxi felt that she had to explain this matter to her sister-in-law.
Since my sister-in-law has decided to make money, that's a good thing.
"I, I'll remember this. From now on, when we go out, if you don't let me speak, I will definitely not speak." Xue was afraid that her sister-in-law would never take her out to make money again.
"Okay, I got it. You guys take a rest, I'm going up the mountain." Gu Xiaoxi felt that it was enough for her sister-in-law to have this attitude.
After saying that, she went out with the basket on her back and headed towards the hill where the chestnuts were.
Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming looked at their sister's departing back, with heartache in their eyes.
Gu Dongming turned his head to look at his wife and said, "Did you see that? My sister is different now. You should work hard, or you won't be able to eat meat in the future."
"Yes, it's my fault that I, as the eldest sister-in-law, am too petty. I won't do that again." Xue said with her head down.
"Third brother, let's chop wood. You can see if there's anything mother can help with." After saying this, Gu Dongming took the axe and went out.
Gu Nanming warned, "Sister-in-law, please close the gate to the courtyard. Things are different now than before. We have some money now."
Xue nodded in agreement and closed the yard door as soon as her third brother left.
After Gu Xiaoxi left the house, she no longer thought about the troubles at home. She hurriedly climbed up the mountain.
There must be no chestnuts halfway up the mountain. She had been around the surrounding woods before, so she could only continue walking up the mountain.
She climbed as fast as she could to the forest near the top of the mountain and finally saw several chestnut trees.
She didn't rush to do anything, but walked around and made sure that there was no one around before she started shaking the chestnut trees.
The thorn balls fell to the ground one by one. Before dark, she had finished cleaning up a chestnut tree. Fortunately, she didn't have to go out tomorrow. The rest would have to be dealt with tomorrow.
After getting all the thorn balls into the space, she went down the mountain empty-handed, trying her best to avoid the villagers. She waited until it was completely dark before going down the mountain towards home.
When she was about to reach the gate of the yard, she saw a sneaky figure. Unfortunately, it was too dark and she couldn't see clearly unless the person turned around.
She flashed into the space, drank some water and waited to see who this figure was.
