Chapter 66 A Slap
When Wang Yueju saw Zhang Chuntao's flattering smile, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
People are so realistic. Just yesterday, Zhang Chuntao was mocking her for not giving birth to a son, and now she was asking her in a flattering way if she needed any help. It was obvious that she had heard that they were moving to the provincial capital.
"Everything has been packed up, no need to help." Wang Yueju was stirring the vegetables in the pot with a spatula. Her voice was very light, making the smile on Zhang Chuntao's face a little stiff.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of business are my brother and his family doing in the provincial capital? They must have made a lot of money. My brother is really capable. You are so lucky, sister-in-law."
Zhang Chuntao said nice things, but she was jealous to death. Why did Wang Yueju get all the good things? She could move to the provincial capital even though she couldn't give birth to a son. It was really unfair.
Wang Yueju looked at the smile on Zhang Chuntao's face and felt relieved. People still have to be capable and live a good life, so that even those who hate or envy you will still smile ingratiatingly in front of you.
"I don't make much money from selling clothes," said Wang Yueju.
Zhang Chuntao certainly didn't believe it. "Sister-in-law, you're being modest. If I hadn't made a lot of money, I could have brought you all to the provincial capital."
Wang Yueju lowered her head and cooked without saying a word. Zhang Chuntao suppressed the jealousy in her heart and said a few nice words with a smile. Seeing that Wang Yueju was indifferent, she turned around and left with a cold face.
When she got home, she said to Gu Jiancheng, "Your eldest brother's family hasn't done anything yet, but they already disown us poor relatives. When I talk to my eldest sister-in-law, she just ignores me."
Gu Jiancheng lay on the bed and said without opening his eyes: "You didn't talk nicely to your sister-in-law before, so why should she talk nicely to you? Stop arguing and go cook."
"I won't do it. I'm so angry."
The next day, Gu Siqing got up at five o'clock. They had to catch the first bus to the county town and then transfer to Lizhou. This time, they didn't have to bring much stuff, so the journey was much easier.
They arrived in Lizhou City around 4 p.m. and instead of going to the store, they went straight to their newly bought house. As soon as Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing entered, they walked around the house.
Seeing how big the house was, Gu Siqing calculated in her mind how much compensation she would get if it was demolished. It would probably be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
No, I must urge my dad to build more houses here when he has money, at least six or seven stories high, so that I can get more compensation later.
Thinking about the compensation in the future, Gu Siqing laughed. At least she could be a second-generation demolition worker in this life.
Seeing her smile, Gu Sanjing also smiled, "Xiao Si, this yard is so big, and there are so many houses, it's great."
"Now that there are more houses, you can each have a room," Gu Jianguo said as he walked over with a smile, "You can go and choose a room now."
"Ah? Don't we live together?" Gu Sanjing looked up and asked Gu Jianguo, then he said, "You still want the four of us to squeeze together?"
Gu Sanjing was a little conflicted. She wanted to have her own space, but she also wanted to be in a lively place with her sisters.
Gu Siqing pulled her to choose a room and said, "Pick a room first. If you want to sleep together in the future, just sleep together."
Gu Sanjing thought about it and decided to pick a room with Gu Siqing. Of the ten rooms in the front yard, the main room would definitely be where her parents lived, so they could choose between the east and west wing. In the end, the two of them chose the west wing.
The west wing had six rooms in total, but they were divided into three large rooms. They each chose one room, and used the middle room as a study, where they would study from then on.
After choosing a room, the two of them began to clean, first cleaning the bedroom so that it could be lived in temporarily.
Gu Jianguo taught Wang Yueju how to use the coal stove. Wang Yueju looked at the flames in the coal stove with some disdain, "With such a small fire, when will I be able to cook?"
Gu Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There's no firewood to burn in the city."
"But the kitchen is so big and spacious. We can eat directly in the kitchen from now on. We don't have to bring the food to the living room anymore."
"Not only is the kitchen spacious, but other places are also spacious." Gu Jianguo said as he approached his wife.
The two were too close, and Wang Yueju felt embarrassed so she pushed him away. Gu Jianguo laughed, causing Wang Yueju to roll her eyes at him.
Around six o'clock, Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui returned, and the family was finally reunited. Gu Jianguo went to Han Deyi's house and asked them to come over for dinner. It was a lively day for the two families to be together.
Gu Siqing followed him and said she wanted to get to know the place.
Their two homes were very close, just a few steps away. Entering the Han family's yard, they were also packing up their things. Gu Siqing ran to Han Zhengping's house, where he was wiping the table.
"Brother Zhengping, come to my house for dinner today." Gu Siqing said as she leaned towards the table, but before she could get close, she was pulled aside. Then she heard Han Zhengping say, "It hasn't been wiped clean yet."
Gu Siqing touched the table and found it was spotless without a speck of dust. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, as if she didn't like cleanliness at all.
Han Zhengping saw her rolling eyes and curled his lips, "Have you cleaned up your room?"
Gu Siqing shook her head. "My house isn't as clean as yours. It's not easy to clean up."
Han Zhengping hummed, "I'll help you clean up after I've packed mine."
Gu Siqing was happy when she heard this. This young boy loved cleanliness very much, and the house he cleaned must be very clean.
As they were talking, they heard Han Deyi calling them from outside, and they left the house together. They saw Han Erpang's face and body covered in dirt. Tian Huiying pulled him over with a feather duster and said, "I asked you to clean up, but you made a mess of yourself."
Han Erpang chuckled.
Several people went to Gu's house together, and the two families had a lively dinner in the evening. Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi both drank some wine, and in the end they were both a little drunk.
During the rest period at night, Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing went to find Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui holding pillows, and the four sisters squeezed together again.
The next morning, when Wang Yueju woke up, Gu Jianguo took out a set of clothes. The top was a gray woolen coat, and the pants were made of a thick black fabric. Wang Yueju couldn't tell what it was made of.
“It’s quite expensive.”
"Although it's not cheap, we can afford it now," said Gu Jianguo.
Wang Yueju didn't act pretentiously and just put the clothes on. She might sell clothes in a store in the future, so she naturally wanted to dress nicely.
Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing also put on new clothes, both of them were children's puffer jackets.
After breakfast, the family happily went to the store. When Gu Siqing saw her own store, she couldn't help but say it was so shabby. It was really too shabby. If this were to be kept for a few decades, there would definitely not be a single piece of clothing left to sell.
She was sighing when a woman in her twenties came in. She walked up to Gu Erhui and slapped her without saying a word.
