Chapter 21: Level 10 House Fighting Technique
Is Zhang Shuangping happy now? Of course not. She doesn't even want to face the Gu family.
She and Zhang Chuntao disrupted the marriage of Gu Yimin and Deng Zhiming, thinking that she would replace them. Unexpectedly, she asked her mother to take the initiative to go to the Deng family to propose marriage, but the Deng family did not give her an accurate answer.
She felt that Deng Zhiming had some feelings for her, after all, they had been together for two months. The reason Deng Zhiming broke up with her was simply because he was bewitched by that vixen Gu Yimin.
She knew that men were all lustful, but over time, men would learn what kind of woman was suitable for marriage. She had a job, and her father was the village party secretary. These conditions were far superior to Gu Yimin's.
Deng Zhiming has just broken off the engagement and hasn't gotten over it yet. He will understand her good qualities in the future.
Yesterday, after the matchmaker returned, she said that the Deng family was going to harvest peanuts today, so she got up early and went to the Deng family, and as a result, she had a quarrel with her mother Ge Fenglian.
Her mother felt that if she kept trying to get close to the Deng family, they would look down on her even if she married into their family.
She was no fool, and of course she knew that chasing after someone was not a good idea. However, once she married into the Deng family, as long as she caught Deng Zhiming, everything else would be solved.
But she didn't want to face the Gu family now. She wanted to look down on them, especially Gu Yimin, as a complete winner after she married Deng Zhiming.
"Shuangping, I told you that you are the most suitable for my Zhiming." Zhao Fenglan felt that her behavior just now had hit the Gu family.
Aren't you the ones who are eager to break off the engagement? That's because you have no vision. Look, there are many people who are eager to marry into our family. And they have jobs and can earn money.
Zhang Shuangping hummed in silence, looking very capable, which made Zhao Fenglan even more satisfied with her. But what she didn't know was that Zhang Shuangping was imagining how he would perform a tenth-level house fighting game with her in the future.
Gu Siqing didn't know that the couple who might become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already started playing Liao Zhai. They had already arrived at the field.
Wang Yueju and her friends arrived early on their bikes and had already harvested a small area. Seeing the three of them coming, they began to redistribute the work.
To harvest peanuts, one person first uses a hoe to dig out the peanuts, while another person picks up the peanuts, shakes off the dirt, and gathers them together. Then, another person uses a small hoe to dig the soil and pick up the fallen peanuts.
Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing's job was to pick peanuts. Instead of working, the sisters peeled a peanut and put it in their mouths. The raw peanuts had a light sweetness and were delicious.
After eating a few, they squatted on the ground and dug in the dirt to pick up peanuts. Later, her legs felt sore, so Gu Siqing simply sat on the ground. She wasn't going to be a beautiful fairy anymore.
Gu Siqing worked while approaching Gu Yimin and told her about the incident with Zhang Shuangping on their way here. Gu Yimin laughed sarcastically after hearing this and said, "That's someone else's business, we don't care."
Gu Siqing giggled, "Congratulations, big sister, for throwing that bad sweet potato kid out in time."
Gu Yimin laughed, "You're the smart one."
Gu Siqing chuckled again.
At noon, they set up the side dish pot and simply heated up the pancakes. But eating something hot was much better than eating cold and hard pancakes.
The land of the third aunt's family was right next to them. When her son saw the Gu family eating hot dishes and then looked at the dry steamed buns in his hand, he ran over to borrow the pot.
Gu Jianguo waved him off, and soon they heard Third Aunt's loud voice: "You're lazy and greedy, just like a blind bear in the mountains. No, you're even worse than a blind bear. A blind bear can be put on the scale and sold for quite a bit of money, but you? You can't sell anything for a penny."
"Puff!" Gu Siqing couldn't help but spit out the water in her mouth. This Third Aunt is really a talent. With such a mouth, she can even go to Deyun Club to perform crosstalk.
She wiped her mouth and turned her head to look, and saw her third aunt's son lying on the ground with his legs crossed, while her third aunt was bending over to support the pot.
"Dongsheng is such a lazy kid," Wang Yueju couldn't help but nag. "He's already in his twenties and should have been the family's breadwinner."
Gu Jianguo looked at Zhang Dongsheng who was crossing his legs, and then looked at his four daughters. He felt happy in his heart. Daughters are the best.
Many people in the village laughed at him for not having a son, but they didn't know how warm it was to have four little children.
The peanut field was two mu (approximately 1.5 acres) in size, and the family didn't finish harvesting until dark. It was past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the village. When they reached the doorstep, they saw Gu Jiancheng, who had just returned from playing mahjong.
Gu Jianguo couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so he frowned and said to him, "Second brother, it's time to harvest the peanuts on your riverbank. If you don't, you won't be able to harvest them anymore."
Gu Jiancheng nodded nonchalantly and said, "Let's go tomorrow." Then he staggered back home. After a while, he heard the sound of quarreling from the other side.
"Gu Jiancheng, I gave birth to a son for your Gu family to carry on the family line, but in the end I still have to work from dawn to dusk. What's the point of giving birth to a son..."
Zhang Chuntao kept talking about giving birth to a son. Gu Siqing looked at her mother and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she looked calm and not angry.
Wang Yueju was naturally not angry. Her anger would have satisfied those who wanted to laugh at her.
The quarrel over there hadn't affected them at all. After a simple meal, the family washed up and went to bed. Everyone was tired today. Wang Yueju even told the four sisters that they didn't need to get up early the next morning and could sleep until they woke up naturally.
Zhang Chuntao was arguing with Gu Jiancheng, her eyes constantly glancing towards the courtyard of the first wife's house. Her words were meant for Wang Yueju to hear; she was in a bad mood and didn't want the first wife to be well.
But to her disappointment, the lights in the main room were turned off early. She became even angrier and argued more fiercely with Gu Jiancheng. Finally, Gu Jiancheng couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her in the face.
"You're always looking for trouble, do I owe you anything?"
Zhang Chuntao started crying again, "You bastard, you never work and just play mahjong. I gave birth to a son for your Gu family to continue the family line, and you hit me. I won't live with you anymore."
"I loved you, but I didn't." Gu Jiancheng slammed the door and left. Zhang Chuntao sat on the bed and cried. The crying sounded to Gu Xueqiang and Gu Xuebin's room. Gu Xueqiang had long been accustomed to it and lay in bed with the quilt covering his head, pretending not to hear.
Gu Xuebin had tears in his eyes. He actually envied Sanjing and Xiaosi. Although grandma didn't give them delicious food, their uncle and aunt never quarreled, and their family seemed happy every day.
Unlike their family, the first thing he did when he got home from school was to look at his mother's face. If his mother didn't look well, he would breathe lightly.
