"Comrade Zhao, what can I do for you?"
Gu Changfeng opened the courtyard gate and stopped Zhao Meimei from entering.
"Gu Changfeng, move aside. I'm here to see Ruan Zhiqing. I heard she came back yesterday."
Zhao Meimei didn't dare to push Gu Changfeng away with her hands, hoping that he would be sensible and let her in.
"My wife is still sleeping. Let's talk about it after she wakes up."
Gu Changfeng's expression turned slightly cold, and he looked at Zhao Meimei with some displeasure.
"What? Still sleeping at this hour? Have you no manners at all?"
With this new bride in the house, how can she sleep so late without getting up to do laundry and cook?
Even though yesterday was her wedding night with Duan Zhiyu, she got up early this morning to cook for him.
"What's it to you? If you have nothing else to do, go back."
His wife can sleep as late as she wants, and he's willing to spoil her. Why should he say anything?
If it weren't for Accountant Zhao's sake, he would have thrown Zhao Meimei out long ago.
"Hmph, fine, I'll leave then."
Zhao Meimei stomped her foot and turned to leave.
"Honey, after you've rested a bit, would you like to go take a look at the new house?"
I've been busy these past few days; friends have been taking care of things at the new house.
Judging by the timeline, it should be time to wrap things up.
"Okay, okay."
Ruan Qiushui was somewhat impatient.
She hopes the new house will be renovated soon so she can move in as soon as possible.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen and make some mung bean soup to take over."
She hasn't brought any mung bean soup for several days.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Gu Changfeng followed Ruan Qiushui into the kitchen.
Everyone in the family has gone to work, leaving only the young couple at home.
Gu Changfeng thoroughly enjoyed their time together and wished he could stick to Ruan Qiushui.
After the mung bean soup was cooked, Gu Changfeng carried a bamboo basket and followed Ruan Qiushui to the right.
The first floor is now completely finished, and the workers are busy on the second floor.
"Changfeng, sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Jiang Aiguo was busy handing out bricks when he turned around and saw Gu Changfeng and Ruan Qiushui walking over.
Why are the newlyweds running off to this drab place instead of enjoying their honeymoon at home?
"Changfeng, what do you think of the house we built?"
Li Erzhuang looked at the brick house that had been built with his help with great pride; this would be something he could brag about in the future.
"My wife made some mung bean soup for you all, so you can quench your thirst before getting back to work."
Gu Changfeng greeted each of the villagers who helped build the houses, put down his bamboo basket, and poured a bowl for everyone.
"Oh, Changfeng's wife really knows how to handle things. I'm really thirsty right now."
"You know what, Changfeng's wife is really generous. She even put sugar in this mung bean soup. It tastes really good."
…
"If you like it, please have more. I'll bring some more mung bean soup another day."
Ruan Qiushui smiled and nodded.
"Aiguo, how's the house construction going?"
Gu Changfeng took Jiang Aiguo's empty bowl and poured him another one.
"It's almost done. The second floor is almost finished, and I estimate it will be done in about two more days."
"Don't forget to treat me to drinks when the new house is finished!"
Jiang Aiguo patted Gu Changfeng on the shoulder.
In order to get Gu Changfeng and his sister-in-law into their new house as soon as possible, he and a group of brothers have been working overtime these past few days, and he has even had less time to go home and spend with his wife.
It would be really unreasonable for Gu Changfeng not to treat him to drinks as compensation.
"Don't worry, you'll get plenty of wine. I'll save you another bottle to take with you."
Gu Changfeng knew that Jiang Aiguo had this kind of taste, so how could he not satisfy him?
If it weren't for Jiang Aiguo staying here, he wouldn't know how much worry he would have had about the house.
"You're a smart kid."
Jiang Aiguo was satisfied when he heard that he could take another bottle with him.
"Changfeng, don't forget about us when you eat."
"Yes, yes, we also put in some effort."
…
The Gu family is now well-off, so there will definitely be meat at the wedding banquet. I have to get a seat.
"Okay, when the new house is finished, I'll definitely invite everyone over for a meal and drinks."
There are only about ten people here, plus family and friends, so three tables should be enough. It won't take much trouble.
Gu Changfeng talked with Jiang Aiguo for a while, then led Ruan Qiushui home.
"Honey, don't worry about it, I'll wash it."
Gu Changfeng helped his wife sit down in the courtyard and went into the kitchen to wash the bowls of mung bean soup.
"Ruan, Ruan, a sent-down youth."
He Yongjun arrived at the Gu family's house, panting, and plopped down at the door to catch his breath.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Qiushui quickly poured He Yongjun a glass of water and told him to speak slowly.
"Wei, the educated youth, fainted yesterday and hasn't woken up yet."
He also visited the Gu family yesterday, but Ruan Qiushui and Gu Changfeng went back to her parents' home.
Wei Weiwei remained unconscious, and fearing something might happen to her, Gu Xianjin arranged for an oxcart to take her to the hospital.
But when they got to the hospital, they couldn't find anything wrong with them.
In the end, they had no choice but to drag the person back.
For the past two days, Wei Weiwei has been surviving on rice porridge, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for another two days.
"ah."
Ruan Qiushui immediately realized what had happened. She had said she forgot something, and it turned out that Wei Weiwei had been forgotten.
"Alright, I'll go with you now."
Ruan Qiushui went to the kitchen to tell Gu Changfeng, then turned around and went to the educated youth center with her medicine box.
Luckily, I had my first-aid kit at home, otherwise I would have had to go to the clinic instead.
After a silver needle was inserted, Wei Weiwei regained consciousness a minute later.
"She's awake, she's awake."
Zeng Lulu waved and, seeing that Wei Weiwei had regained consciousness, quickly called out to He Yongjun outside the door.
"Hungry, so hungry, I want a big pork knuckle."
Wei Weiwei was starving at the moment. Seeing Zeng Lulu waving her hand in front of her, she wanted to grab it and put it in her mouth.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zeng Lulu shook off Wei Weiwei's hand.
That was close, I almost got bitten.
"I... I'll go out and cook her something to eat first."
Zeng Lulu looked at Wei Weiwei in fear, seeing that she was even putting a pillow in her mouth. If she stayed any longer, she might even swallow a person whole.
"Wei Weiwei, stop pretending to be crazy."
Ruan Qiushui pricked Wei Weiwei's arm with a silver needle, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Ruan Qiushui, I already said I would pay back the money, why are you still trying to harm me?"
She has been scraping together the money over the past few days, and it's almost all gone, except for the supplies.
"Harm you? Wei Weiwei, do you know that defamation can land you in jail?"
Wei Weiwei's case isn't a big deal; you can forget about it.
"I've already scraped together five hundred yuan, you can't let me faint again."
Such a desperate dream is truly terrifying.
Whether I feel dizzy or not, it's not up to me to say.
"You only have yourself to blame for doing bad things, and now you're getting your comeuppance."
Ruan Qiushui glanced at Wei Weiwei and really wanted to let her sleep like that forever.
"Anyway, I've returned the money to you."
Wei Weiwei took out five hundred yuan from under her pillow and handed it to Ruan Qiushui.
