Chapter 37 My life is going to be ruined
"She won't go to work until she's showing her baby bump! The Gu family really spoils their daughter-in-law!" Cai Chunhua's triangular eyes kept glancing towards the Gu family, her gaze flickering.
Chen Zhaodi, who knew Cai Chunhua quite well, knew perfectly well that Cai Chunhua was probably up to something.
This only added fuel to the fire: "Of course! Who knows what kind of background the Gu family has, they're so rich. Not only did they rent Old Man Xu's courtyard, but yesterday they also spent a fortune digging a well in the yard. Who would believe they're not rich!"
"They even dug a well? A well must cost a lot of money!" Cai Chunhua was genuinely surprised.
Their gaze turned to the Gu family once again.
However, this time the main focus was on Gu Yanfei.
Her son, Tong Xiaojun, is almost thirty years old this year, but he still hasn't gotten married.
The main problem is that her family is too poor. Not only in her own village, but even in the smaller groups and teams below, no one is willing to marry their daughter to her family.
Even if there were one or two people who didn't care about selling their daughters, she still couldn't afford the dowry they were asking for.
In the past, she had considered making advances towards Xie Manman and Xu Yirou.
But none of them succeeded.
Now it seems that Gu Yanfei is the most suitable candidate to be her daughter-in-law.
Not only is she beautiful, but her family is also wealthy.
In this way, after marrying Xiaojun, he can not only give her a handsome grandson.
It would also allow the Gu family to help them, so that her son Xiaojun could live a life where he wouldn't lack money in the future.
As for Xia Yi and Liu Xian, who came to the countryside with her, Cai Chunhua gave up on them after inquiring about them.
Xia Yi has already started dating Zheng Haiyang, who went to the countryside with her. Even if they haven't slept together, they've probably already done things like holding hands.
An unclean woman is not worthy of her son.
As for Liu Xian, she looked sickly and frail, not like someone who could easily give birth.
Xiao Jun is the only son in the Tong family, so they can't marry a woman who can't have a son and can't carry on the family line.
So, after looking at it all, Gu Yanfei and their Xiaojun are still the best match.
Chen Zhaodi noticed Cai Chunhua's frequent glances at Gu Yanfei and could easily guess what the other woman was thinking.
Aren't the Gu family supposed to be very arrogant?
She wanted to see what they would do after being targeted by this persistent Cai Chunhua.
Not to mention that the Tong family was so poor they could barely keep their pants up, Tong Xiaojun's appearance was so striking that no one would doubt he was related to a wild boar.
Marrying a man like that, you'd probably wake up in the middle of the night and be terrified if you looked down at your side!
The whispering between Cai Chunhua and Chen Zhaodi was noticed by Xie Manman, who was standing not far away.
She had a pretty good idea of Cai Chunhua's plans.
After all, when she first went to the countryside, Cai Chunhua had quite a few designs on her.
On one occasion, she was late finishing work and was even blocked by Tong Xiaojun on her way back to the educated youth settlement.
If it weren't for Xu Yirou's concern that it was getting late and bringing Yang Junqing to find her, she probably would have been bullied by Tong Xiaojun that time.
From then on, the three of them went everywhere together. With Yang Junqing around, Tong Xiaojun didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.
It now appears that Cai Chunhua has set her sights on Gu Yanfei.
Xie Manman's lips curled into a gloating smile.
If Cai Chunhua could really get Gu Yanfei to marry such an ugly guy as Tong Xiaojun, she would be happy to see it happen.
Aren't the Gu family members very arrogant?
Let them have a son-in-law like Tong Xiaojun and a shrewish in-law like Cai Chunhua.
She wanted to see if they could still be so arrogant.
"Manman".
Xu Yirou glanced at Cai Chunhua, who was whispering with Chen Zhaodi, and then at the Gu family, and said, "It seems that Cai Chunhua has ill intentions towards that educated youth Gu Yanfei. Let's go and remind her later!"
If such a beautiful young girl were to be entangled with a scoundrel like Tong Xiaojun, her life would probably be ruined.
Xie Manman's first reaction was to refuse, but thinking of her kind image in front of Xu Yirou and Yang Junqing, she changed her mind and said, "Okay, I just went to their yard yesterday and greeted them. I'll find an opportunity to talk to them later."
Xu Yirou nodded. Anyway, they weren't familiar with the Gu family, and the only reason she was reminding them was because they were both educated youth.
Besides, she doesn't even know what kind of people the Gu family are.
If they are the same kind of people as Chen Zhaodi and her husband, not only will their good intentions go unrewarded, but they might also get themselves into trouble.
Moreover, looking around, it's likely that Cai Chunhua isn't the only one eyeing Gu Yanfei.
Many male villagers with sons, or who were single, kept casting long glances at Gu Yanfei!
Although the Gu family was busy harvesting wheat, they were not oblivious to the scrutinizing gazes around them.
These gazes contained curiosity, envy, and also a great deal of malice.
They didn't pay much attention and just kept doing their work.
Seeing that there wasn't much work left for the four of them, Gu's father glanced at Gu's mother and Gu Yanfei, thought for a moment, and then said to Gu Yanxiao and his sister, "You two go back and cook first! Your mother and I will take care of the rest!"
Gu Yanfei was taken aback, then said, "Dad, let my brother stay with us! I can cook by myself."
"No!" Mr. Gu refused without hesitation.
Gu Yanfei was naive and oblivious to the malicious gazes surrounding her.
That doesn't mean he, as the father, didn't notice.
The reason Gu Yanfei was sent back with Gu Yanxiao was precisely to prevent this.
Not only this time, but he will never let Gu Yanfei act alone again.
"Alright, then big brother will come with me." Gu Yanfei looked at her father's stern expression and dared not say anything more.
He obediently followed Gu Yanxiao towards home.
It wasn't until Gu Yanfei had walked quite a distance that many villagers reluctantly turned their gazes away.
Clearly, if Gu Yanfei hadn't had Gu Yanxiao with her just now...
I'm afraid many of them are already secretly following suit.
“Jianguo.” Gu’s mother naturally noticed this as well, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"It's alright. From now on, whatever she does, she just needs someone by her side. Fortunately, there's nothing she needs to do alone," Mr. Gu reassured Mrs. Gu.
He felt increasingly fortunate that he had rented Old Xu's private courtyard house, which had a separate toilet and such.
This way, the privacy of the women in the family can be protected to the greatest extent possible.
Mother Gu nodded, about to say something, when Cai Chunhua approached with a smile: "Brother Gu, sister-in-law Gu, I heard you're a family coming to the countryside?"
Mother Gu's face darkened. This old woman had been the one eyeing her daughter the most earlier, and now that she was coming over so readily, it was obvious she wasn't up to anything.
