"Why do you always take the blame for everything? Gu Lan made her own mistakes, and even her biological brother wouldn't be implicated. Besides, you're not her biological brother."
Xie Yunjiao patted Gu Huai's hand and said, "Wait for me."
She suddenly turned around and walked towards Gu Lan, who had been helped up and was cursing Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai angrily.
Suddenly seeing Xie Yunjiao walking towards her, Gu Lan glared at Xie Yunjiao: "What? Suddenly regretting it? Xie Yunjiao, let me tell you, if you walk around Hexi Village barking like a dog today, I'll see if I pay any attention to you.
If you play your part well, I might be merciful enough to give you a gift."
Gu Lan thought Xie Yunjiao would be like Liu Miaohua, saying disdain but wanting her desperately in her heart, so she came to please her now.
Xie Yunjiao sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you, with no money but daydreaming and relying on men to spend money all day? I can buy what I need myself. I came back just to tell you that you are not allowed to appear in front of me again, otherwise no one will know how you died."
Gu Lan wanted to say something, but she felt a flash before her eyes, and a silver needle suddenly pierced straight into the carriage beside her, and the pillow sank deeply.
Gu Lan was so scared that her scalp went numb.
"I deliberately didn't aim this time, but I'm not sure next time."
"Xie Yunjiao! Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you do these little tricks. You're just jealous of me." Gu Lan said gritting her teeth.
"Envy? What is there about you that I should envy? Is it that you are ugly but don't know it, or that I laugh at your poor taste, going to the best stores in the city and picking out the ugliest and oldest styles?
And that face of yours, what's all that makeup? It's all ineffective, it looks smudged. It doesn't look good just by using all the products on your face. If you don't know how to put on makeup, don't do it. Otherwise, don't talk about the products you bought at Qinyuanfang, or people will laugh at you if you tell others."
Gu Lan was so angry that her teeth were about to break and her fingers were dug deep into her palms.
"Remember my words, or I'll make you suffer in the future."
After saying that, Xie Yunjiao turned and left.
Gu Lan screamed loudly towards Xie Yunjiao, cursing Xie Yunjiao to death.
When she turned around, she saw Zhao Qian's servants looking at her with a smile, as if they were mocking her.
"What are you laughing at? You servants actually dare to laugh at your master. Believe it or not, I will let Master Zhao kill you all. You are nothing."
He couldn't vent his anger on Xie Yunjiao, so he took it out on Zhao Qian's servants.
As the son of a prince, Zhao Qian is the emperor's most beloved nephew and is loved by everyone. Naturally, the people around him have a high status in the capital.
When had they ever suffered such humiliation? They were scolded by a worthless country girl.
One of them was so angry that he wanted to slap Gu Lan, the good-for-nothing, to death right away.
He had just moved when he was stopped by the coachman beside him. The coachman whispered, "Don't do it yet. Wait until the master gets tired of playing with her, then we can torture her slowly."
The man thought of something and curled his lips.
Although Gu Lan's appearance was average, her figure was much better than that of an average woman, and she was quite well-endowed. She was also self-taught in that area, and her service satisfied her master greatly.
It was the first time they saw their master playing with a woman for such a long time without getting tired of it.
When the master gets tired of playing with Gu Lan and wants to abandon her, they can pick her up second-hand and have some fun with her.
Let’s see if Gu Lan still dares to order them around by then.
As time went by, Xie Yunjiao led the villagers to expand the bamboo weaving factory. The villagers earned more and more money and were very happy.
Everyone says that next year everyone will have a prosperous year.
When people from Hexi Village go out and say they are from Hexi Village, everyone will envy them.
Some people from the neighboring villages also asked if they could come to the village to work and earn money.
At present, the villagers' productivity can still keep up, and Village Chief Gu feels that there is no need to recruit additional people.
But Xie Yunjiao thought it would be better to recruit a few more people just in case.
However, everyone who enters the bamboo weaving factory must sign a confidentiality agreement and cannot leak the factory's production methods. Otherwise, they will have to pay a lot of money and face lawsuits.
After listening to Xie Yunjiao's words, Village Chief Gu assessed the applicants and selected a few who were quick and capable to join.
But he did not let them get in touch with the core technology, but only let them start from the basics.
Let them cut bamboo strips.
Everyone's life is hard now. Let alone cutting bamboo strips, they are willing to do even harder work as long as they can get paid and have enough food to eat for their family.
On this day, everyone was busy working, but a child came running over crying, saying that another child had slipped and fallen into the village pond.
This is too much. It’s just the beginning of summer and the weather is not too hot yet, but these furry kids can’t sit still.
"You guys are so restless that you're always trying to find things for us to do. Don't you know we're busy shipping the goods?
Why do I work so hard? Isn't it so that you can eat well and grow up healthily?
"But what did you do? Are you trying to piss me off to death?" someone asked angrily.
The child was already scared, and after hearing what the adults said, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word and just started crying.
Gu Lichang said hurriedly: "Why are you still standing there? Saving people is more important. Also, stop talking, you've scared the child to tears."
The man shut up only after hearing what Gu Lichang said.
Village Chief Gu arranged for several adults to rescue people, while he hurried to find Xie Yunjiao.
It just so happened that Xie Yunjiao had told him earlier that she would stay in the new house to clean up today and would not go to town.
Sure enough, Village Chief Gu met Xie Yunjiao in her new house.
After explaining the situation to Xie Yunjiao, Gu Huai rushed towards the village pond without saying a word.
The villagers arrived at the pond, but the child had stopped struggling and had sunk into it.
The pond was very deep and people had drowned there before. The child's mother cried and wanted to die with her child.
There were also people who were good at swimming who jumped in to try to save the man, but there were a lot of water plants in the pond and their feet were entangled by the plants before they could swim for long.
"The water ghost is taking our lives." Someone suddenly said.
After she said that, no one dared to jump in.
"Liu Miaohua, what are you gloating about?" Xie Yunjiao glared at Liu Miaohua unhappily.
When they arrived, they found out that Gu Song, the grandson of the village head, had just heard that a child had fallen into the pond and rushed down to rescue him.
But he was not good at swimming, and he sank soon after.
When Liu Miaohua heard this, she began to gloat.
That dead guy Gu Lan only hired her for a few days and then left. She was afraid of living beyond her means so she went back to work in the bamboo weaving factory, but was kicked out by the head of the village, Gu.
He said that he had contacted her before, but she was unwilling to come back, and now her position has been replaced by someone else and she is no longer needed.
