Chapter 224 Father and Son Being Teased
"Sister Lan'er, are you serious?"
Gu Lan nodded. "Of course. How could I lie to you in front of everyone?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant...can I do it? I'm afraid I'll mess it up."
"As you know, my belly is getting bigger and bigger. It's inconvenient for me to move around. I can't go door to door to inform everyone about many things. Of course, I need someone to help me. I think I need you. From now on, you will be responsible for telling me about everyone's problems and telling me my opinions, and then you can pass them on to everyone."
Gu Lan had also thought about it and really needed someone to help her. Li Yunqiao had a good relationship with everyone, so it was just right for her to handle this matter.
Of course, it also has something to do with the two hundred coins.
It's not just two hundred coins, but Li Yunqiao's personality and attitude towards work.
"Oh, Yunqiao, Miss Lan'er has said so, so just agree. She will definitely not be wrong when judging people."
"That's right, Miss Lan'er has high hopes for you, so just do it. We are all obedient and will do whatever we are told to do."
The women also supported Li Yunqiao. They were grateful in their hearts. After all, it was Li Yunqiao who informed everyone of the news. If she had informed one less person, Li Yunqiao would have had to take two fewer steps.
But they went door to door to inform everyone about this.
Li Yunqiao was recognized once again, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She said with trembling lips, "Then... then I'll give it a try. If I don't do well in any way, Sister Lan'er, you can just scold me or even hit me."
Gu Lan smiled. "It's just a small matter. Why would you hit or scold me? It's Chinese New Year now. Let's wait until after the New Year to talk about it. Since everyone trusts me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Women didn’t expect that they would have the opportunity to make money. Everyone knows that money is good.
When leaving the Gu family, the women expressed their gratitude to the Gu family and began to look forward to spending the money they earned.
"I've made up my mind. I want to buy myself some new clothes. I haven't done anything in years."
"I just buy meat and eat meat every meal."
"You only know how to eat. I have to prepare more dowry for my daughter. If her family doesn't have enough dowry and she has a wicked mother-in-law, life will be tough."
"Your son is already quite old, so why don't you save up some money for his betrothal gifts?"
"My daughter is no longer around after she gets married, so I don't know if she's been wronged. But I see my son every day, so I save everything. But I'm afraid my daughter will suffer too."
Everyone laughed, but who doesn’t think so?
If I had money, I would spend some on my daughter.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the quarry was closed for the holiday, so we only worked for half a day before letting them go back.
The Pei family father and son ran into the smiling women head-on.
Naturally, they would not take a second look at a group of vulgar country women, but when Pei Yuanqing heard Gu Lan's name, he subconsciously looked at the woman who was laughing so hard that her throat could be seen.
He suppressed his disgust and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened to Gu Lan...?"
The woman spoke her mind without giving it much thought. "She helps us make money... Well, why are you pinching me?"
The other woman glared at her. "Nothing. Miss Lan'er and you have already divorced. Why are you asking so many questions?"
The loud-mouthed woman from before finally reacted and said, "Yes, even if Miss Lan'er makes money, it has nothing to do with you. If you dare to think about it, we won't agree."
The women nodded in agreement, "Exactly. Shameless guy, he's still after Miss Lan'er's money. He's really thick-skinned."
"It's no wonder Miss Lan'er doesn't want a man like him. If it were me, I wouldn't want one either."
"You still don't want it? Can you compare with Miss Lan'er?"
"Of course he can't compare, but he's not even worthy of me, let alone Miss Lan'er? He's just a pretty boy, he can't help but look down on me. Are you going to buy him and worship him like a Buddha?"
The women talked one after another, and Pei Yuanqing was so upset that he couldn't even lift his head.
In his heart, it was normal for him to look down on these country women, but he did not expect that the country women also disliked him in many ways.
"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about?"
However, none of these women tried to reason with him. They just swore at him non-stop, and some even said embarrassing things that made people blush and their hearts beat faster. They were discussing Pei Yuanqing's behavior, and it was probably unacceptable even on the kang.
Pei Yuanqing had never seen such vulgar women before. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. His words of rebuttal had no effect at all in the face of the women's playful teasing.
Pei Zhen was also caught up in the conversation and cursed, "How ridiculous! You...you are simply unreasonable."
"Talking to you about reason? Are you worthy?"
"That's right, the Gu family has been reasonable with you, but what about you? You are not what you think. If you dare to cause trouble at the Gu family again, we will all go to your doorstep together."
"I'm in the daytime."
"I'm at night."
"I'm fine with either. It won't interfere with my embroidery."
The Pei family father and son were really scared of these women, and they walked away in shame with their tails between their legs.
The women looked at each other. Although they could say some dirty words, they didn't dare to say them in front of the men. This time they were determined to go all out.
"Look at how capable you are! How capable is your family in tying the pillars to the kang?"
"Oh, Sister Donghua, didn't I do that on purpose to piss off those two stinky old men? Don't say anything. If my man hears, he'll get into trouble with me."
The women burst into laughter, but tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.
When Pei's father and son arrived home, they did not feel any warmth as soon as they entered the room. The room was as cold as outside, and there was only mushy porridge in the pot, which was still cold.
Pei Zhen's face was gloomy. "Madam, madam, what's going on?"
"Master, why are you back?"
"Dad, I'm starving. Please ask some people to cook for me." Pei Qiuge yelled.
"Where's your mother?"
Jiang Xinyue said painfully and suppressedly: "My waist is twisted, and I slipped when I went out, and now I can't get up."
"What about Yuan Qing's wife?"
Jiang Tingting snorted coldly. The Pei family was out of reach before, but what about now?
Not as good as ordinary people?
What's more, he was cold and indifferent to her. Even if she could really leave here, who knew if she could survive?
"Dad, I had a miscarriage. You know that I can't touch cold water now. If you are hungry, you can find a way to get enough food."
Pei Zhen's face grew even darker, and he glared at Pei Yuanqing with a look of disappointment.
Pei Yuanqing was still very afraid of his father. He lowered his head in fear and said, "Dad... I... I can't cook either."
Pei Zhen gritted his teeth. Is this what he meant?
He asked him to find a way to deal with Gu Lan. Didn’t he say that Gu Lan was going to bring people to make money?
