Chapter 182 Get out of the way
Fu Yiyi pouted, ran out and hid outside the door, looking at her mother who was half lying and half straddling the kang, her eyes full of worry.
At the same time, I am also looking forward to it.
She hoped her sister-in-law could come soon, but considering the time it would take to rush back from the city and then go home, it would probably take more than two hours.
Gu Wanxing did return home first. As soon as he entered the village, a group of old women who were gathered outside surrounded him.
This caused her car to be unable to move.
The men in her family all work for her. They have received two salaries, 300 yuan a month, which is equivalent to her family's two-year income in two months. So now a group of people are looking down on Gu Wanxing.
She rolled down the window and was thinking of saying something to ask them to get out of the way, but the words were immediately interrupted by an aunt.
"Wanxing, you know, your stepmother has come here several times with Gu Zhenzhen, but we always drove her away. I heard the day before yesterday that she's been looking for someone else recently. He's from Gezhuang, and I heard the old man is over sixty years old."
The aunt's words were like a switch, and immediately another person came to deliver the message.
"Do you know who Gu Zhenzhen wants to marry? It's your boyfriend. She sent someone to Liuxitun to tell him that your old lady kicked her out, yet she went there herself. Isn't that shameful? A grown-up girl is looking for a husband on her own."
Gu Wanxing: ...
"Wanxing, you might not know this yet, but your old mother-in-law has cancer. It's said that the whole village pooled their money to raise enough for her hospitalization. She's said to be in the city hospital. Tsk tsk, this is karma."
After this person finished speaking, the crowd suddenly fell into an eerie silence. No one spoke anymore, and everyone looked at Gu Wanxing with sympathy.
Gu Wanxing pursed her lips into a line, unable to figure out their intentions, and could only wait quietly.
Sure enough, the people in front whispered to each other, and finally a relative she was more familiar with spoke up.
"Wanxing, don't be sad. Zhao Chao can definitely be saved."
"Yes, medical conditions are better now. Ask your uncle to contact a hospital in Kyoto. If that doesn't work, we can send him there."
"If you ask me, Zhao Chao's grandmother is retribution. Can a little kid like that be beaten to death?"
"That's right, that vicious old woman. I even told my daughter's family not to give her any money."
This man's daughter also married in Zhaowangtun. The whole village pooled money, and she tried to sow discord between her daughter and the man. But since her daughter was not the head of the household, her mother-in-law still pooled money.
Gu Wanxing held a faint sneer on his lips and said to everyone, "Aunts, aunts, let's not ask about the Zhao family's affairs from now on. We have different values from them, so let's stay away from them."
Seeing that everyone was looking at each other, as if they didn't understand what she said, Gu Wanxing kindly explained it again.
"You wouldn't let your son have an affair with another woman after marriage, would you? Would you tell your grandchildren bad things about their mother? Would you not let them get close to her? Or would you pocket thousands of dollars and not spend even ten on medical treatment for your grandchildren? There's no such person in our village. How can we be like her? That's why I tell you all not to ask about it. Stay away from them. Don't be like Liu Xifeng, or you'll suffer the same fate as her and get cancer."
Her tone was calm, with a smile in her eyes, and her whole body exuded an air of composure. It was a relief for the past, and also a reminder to these old ladies that a harmonious family is the key to success, so don't be too harsh on your daughters-in-law.
Otherwise you will suffer retribution.
Some people who were quick to react immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, we are not like that damn old woman. If you hadn't told us, how would we have known that old woman was such a bad person? There are no people in our village who favor boys over girls, don't you think?"
"Yeah, I think so too."
The people behind also nodded in agreement. In short, everyone remembered one thing, which is to be good to their own daughter-in-law.
Those who don’t have sons should remember to make their daughters treat their sons-in-law well, and not be like the daughter of Gu Lao San.
"I'm leaving first, all of you get out of the way."
Gu Wanxing smiled faintly and shouted out the window again.
This time they all took several steps back and kept a distance from the car body.
The car slowly drove out of the crowd and disappeared into the distance.
Gu Wanxing rested his elbows on the open car window, with the corners of his mouth raised, feeling that the wind today was a little warm.
As long as her enemies were not having a good time, she felt that there was a sweetness in the air.
As soon as the car stopped, it ran into Li Guihua again. She was like a ghost, following Gu Wanxing who had just got off the car.
"Wanxing, let me tell you, your uncle's leg is probably healed now. Let him do some odd jobs for you."
Gu Wanxing was tall and took big steps. She followed behind him in small steps, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, chattering non-stop.
Gu Wanxing took out the key and said nonchalantly, "Just let him rest at home. Don't think that this is just one thing. If something else happens, I don't have the money to compensate him."
"No, don't worry, he said he would be more careful this time."
Li Guihua was eager to send Gu Laosan away. Those gentlemen there were earning 300 yuan a month, plus bonuses, but he only earned 100 yuan a month.
He always curses at home, so she doesn't want to serve him.
Yes, the agreement written by Gu Wanxing did not specify the salary issue, but only said that salary compensation would be given out of humanitarianism.
She didn't write down a specific number. Of course, she did say she would give ten yuan a day, but it's not certain whether she said it verbally or not. Only she knows whether she said it or not.
To deal with such people, one must use underhanded tactics. She gave these few hundred dollars only for Gu Dongliang's sake, otherwise she would not give him a penny.
Gu Laosan had a hard time saying anything and could only swallow his anger. After all, Gu Wanxing was no longer the little girl who allowed her stepmother to flatten and twist her into a ball.
Gu Wanxing closed the door and kept Li Guihua's harassment out.
Then he slowly exhaled.
If she doesn't have great courage, she usually doesn't like to go back to the village. It's full of snobs. Some time ago, she was scolded on the hot search list of the whole village every day. Now, everyone comes to flatter her. It's really annoying and she hates it from the bottom of her heart.
However, she still does not regret letting the men in the village do the work, and she will probably ask them for work again in the future.
Besides, the uncle and her father have already visited several construction sites, so they should not be short of work in the future.
Putting all these troubles behind her, she went into the house and took out her father's thick quilt and the electric blanket at home.
They were all packed up with bed sheets. It was only at this moment that she realized that none of Gu Tianming's autumn trousers and autumn clothes were wearable. They were all patched and the stitches didn't look like they were sewn by a proper person.
I simply stuffed them all into the stove, thinking of going to the city to buy a few new sets.
He also took a sweater and two work jackets.
It is now colder in the morning and evening than before, and it is only warm at noon when the sun is out.
So I took the woolen pants too.
If you were to say the only thing Sun Huandi has done in all these years, it would probably be these two sweaters and trousers.
The fight was pretty fair.
After cleaning up, she went to her uncle's and second uncle's houses behind the house and asked her two aunts to pack autumn clothes and thick quilts.
"Wanxing, Qingqing came back the other day and said you wanted her to go to a technical secondary school for two years and then send her abroad. Is that true? I've been thinking about this for the past few days."
When Gu Wanxing came out of his second uncle's house, he ran into the aunt he had just met.
Her face was full of melancholy, and her face seemed to be drier and older, with more white hair on her temples.
When I took the clothes just now, I didn't look at them carefully. Now looking at them in the sunlight, I can see that they have indeed aged a lot.
"Aunt, I'm telling the truth. I plan to send Qingqing to the city technical school after the New Year."
"Huh? So soon, she hasn't even graduated from junior high yet."
"It's okay, there's still time."
The two of them were talking as if no one was around, and didn't notice her second aunt coming out to see her off, who was hesitant to say anything.
