Chapter 7: Oil and soil, no matter how you look at it, it's stupid
Gu Sanjing took the small notebook with her 1,000-word self-examination back to the house, and the family began to eat. Halfway through the meal, the sharp voice of Second Aunt Zhang Chuntao came:
"What kind of fate is this for me? During the autumn harvest, my husband doesn't work in the fields but plays mahjong and loses everything. I'd rather die than live. What's the point of living?"
"Isn't it just a game of mahjong? Is it worth it for you to cry and make a fuss? Aren't you done with the work in the fields?"
This was Grandma Wu Dani's voice. Gu Siqing turned her head and saw her grandmother coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice. Her second uncle's house was just across the street from hers, and she could see everything in that yard clearly.
Because Zhang Chuntao had given birth to two sons, the old lady tolerated her as much as possible. She would definitely give her any good things she could get. Even the food and money her family gave her every month would be taken away by Zhang Chuntao under various pretexts.
The old lady has her own yard, but she still goes to her second uncle's house every day to cook and do housework for them.
In her previous life, the old lady was paralyzed in bed. When it was Zhang Chuntao's turn to serve her, she would starve her to prevent her from defecating. Later, my father found out about this and had a quarrel with my second uncle. From then on, the two families basically stopped communicating.
Even so, when the old lady was dying, she held her father's hand and asked him to give the family house and property to Gu Xuebin, because the four sisters were all girls and could not inherit the Gu family's things.
Therefore, after the old lady died, Gu Xuebin made a fuss every day about demanding their house and residence, causing chaos in their family.
While she was thinking about her past life, the commotion got worse. It turned out that Zhang Chuntao was already angry after hearing what Wu Dani said about her, but since she felt she was right, she knocked over the two bowls of hot rice in Wu Dani's hands, spilling the rice right onto her hands.
Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng went up and slapped Zhang Chuntao, "Do you think I'm dead?"
Zhang Chuntao covered her face and began to sob, cursing as she cried, cursing all eight generations of the Gu family's ancestors. They had reached such a point that Gu Jianguo could no longer ignore it, so he stood up and went over there.
Wang Yueju snorted and said to her four daughters, "Eat."
So what if she had a son? Every day was filled with chaos. Zhang Chuntao mocked her for not having a son every other day. She wanted to see how her two sons would be filial to her in the future.
The four sisters ate as if nothing had happened. This kind of thing happened every once in a while, and they were used to it.
Gu Jianguo didn't come back until an hour later. The old lady's hands were covered with blisters from the scalding rice. He went to the village clinic to get her some medicine and applied it on her hands before coming back.
Wang Yueju heated up the food for him, but didn't ask about the situation over there. Gu Jianguo didn't say anything either. The couple tacitly agreed not to talk about the old lady.
What's there to talk about? It's all just anger.
The next day, the family got up early again, some cooking, some working. After dinner, Gu Jianguo started looking for tools to dig a cellar. Just as he had found the tools, Deng Zhiming arrived.
Gu Siqing's eyes lit up when she saw him, "Brother Zhiming, we're just about to dig a cellar, go down and dig."
Deng Zhiming, wearing new clothes and smearing hair oil: ""
Wang Yueju gently hit Gu Siqing, "What nonsense are you talking about?" She smiled at Deng Zhiming and said, "Don't listen to the girl's nonsense. Zhiming, go peel the corn."
"How could I say such nonsense?" Gu Siqing was determined to punish Deng Zhiming today. How could she let him escape? She argued, "Didn't Brother Zhiming say he wanted to work yesterday?"
Deng Zhiming was just trying to find an excuse to leave the cellar. His purpose in coming here today wasn't to work, but to be alone with Gu Yimin. They had been engaged for a year, and he had barely touched her hand.
I must touch her little hand today, and it would be best if I could kiss her little mouth.
In order to be alone with the beautiful woman, he put on his best clothes and put oil on his hair. How could he go down to the cellar in this outfit?
Just as he was about to politely refuse, Gu Erhui came out of the house. She looked at Deng Zhiming and said with a smile, "Brother Zhiming is going down to the cellar. I'll find some of Dad's old clothes for you. Don't get yours dirty."
She went back into the house to look for clothes. Although she didn't know why Xiao Si was teasing Deng Zhiming, she felt that as their future brother-in-law, Deng Zhiming should do more housework to show his sincerity to his eldest sister, instead of just talking all day long.
She moved quickly, and after a while she came out with an old military uniform of Gu Jianguo. She walked up to Deng Zhiming and handed it to him with a smile, "Brother Zhiming, here you go."
Deng Zhiming: ""
What could he say? He had to go down to the cellar now. He unzipped his jacket and took it off. He was about to hand it to Gu Yimin, but Gu Siqing took it and threw his brand new clothes casually on the chair.
Deng Zhiming pursed his lips. He usually liked the Gu family's little fourth daughter, who was quirky and good-looking. But why was this little fourth daughter so annoying today?
Gu Siqing didn't know what Deng Zhiming was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. Smiling, she walked to the cellar and said, "Brother Zhiming, go down."
Gu Jianguo also saw that Xiao Si was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Deng Zhiming today, but since his beautiful eldest daughter was about to marry this guy, it was only right that he do some work. Thinking this way, Gu Jianguo did not stop his youngest daughter.
Gu Yimin didn't say anything either. She and Deng Zhiming had been engaged for over a year, and when they occasionally met, he would always say nice things, but he didn't do much.
Today she wanted him to do some work for their family. In the village, which engaged son-in-law didn't go to his father-in-law's house to work?
Deng Zhiming had no choice but to walk to the edge of the cellar, stretch his legs in, and slowly climb down. Soon, he was covered in dirt. He gritted his teeth and went down, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, some dirt suddenly fell from above, and as luck would have it, it landed right on his head, getting all over his head and face.
Hair oil and dirt are stupid no matter how you look at it.
Gu Siqing held back her laughter as she lay on the edge of the cellar, shouting down, "Brother Zhiming, I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled some dirt in there."
Deng Zhiming took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."
"Zhiming, just dig the cellar hole a little bigger." Gu Jianguo put down the basket tied with a rope, asked Deng Zhiming to fill it with the excavated soil, and then he pulled it up.
Deng Zhiming had never done this kind of work at home, and he felt so frustrated. He told himself, just bear with it, just bear with it. Gu Yimin is so beautiful, it doesn't matter if she pays a little more. There will be plenty of time for Gu Yimin to serve him in the future.
Thinking about how Gu Yimin would serve him in the future, Deng Zhiming bent down and started working.
More than an hour later, the cellar was almost finished. Deng Zhiming climbed out of the cellar, his whole body covered in dirt, even his face was covered in dirt. Not to mention his hair, which had been greased with hair oil, it was almost turned into mud.
Although Deng Zhiming felt extremely frustrated, he still had a smile on his face and said, "It's done."
Gu Siqing clicked her tongue in her heart. He usually looked like a decent person, but once he took off his vest, this scumbag was just an ordinary person.
Just as I thought of this, a somewhat unfamiliar woman's voice came, "Zhiming, how did you get into this state?"
