Chapter 12 Chang Xixi got married
The sun rises from the east and sets in the west. On the third day after marriage, Chang Xixi was planning how to make money, and Gu Rongyu had just returned from outside.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to the bookstore to find some work to supplement the family income."
"What kind of work is there in the bookshop?"
Chang Xixi was puzzled.
Gu Rongyu sat down, and Chang Xixi handed him a cup of tea as usual. "Over the years, I have been copying books for the bookstore to supplement my family income. I fell ill some time ago, so I haven't been there since."
"Very good!" With one more person earning money, this poor family can have more income so that they won't be so poor that they can't even have food to eat.
Chang Xixi happily packed the luggage that Gu Rongyu brought with him, which consisted of four treasures of the study, two or three sets of clothes, a pair of shoes, and nothing else.
What a poor man, she couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Rongyu touched the jade pendant that Chang Xixi had dropped that night through his clothes, his expression unchanged. He took a sip of the tasteless tea and frowned.
Chang Xixi went out to cook and fed the chicks in the yard.
The dark shadow perched on the beam suddenly fell to the ground. "Young Master, it's already like this, are we still leaving? You have a wife and children and a warm bed."
Gu Rongyu raised his hand and slapped the black shadow. The black shadow cried out in pain and rubbed his head. The cold and weak voice sounded above his head.
"Tell him to wait for me at the bookstore tomorrow."
"I'll arrange it right away." The black shadow disappeared in the room in a flash, leaving only a breeze.
Chang Xixi was humming a little tune in the yard. When she thought of her bare house, she felt hopeful and was extremely happy.
When she was happy, the corners of her mouth kept rising, and even the work in her hands didn't seem so difficult to do. Dou Shi even thought that she was happy because her wish had come true with Gu Rongyu.
My second aunt went back to the city after the wedding banquet on her wedding day, and there was no extra bed for her to sleep on at home.
Dou and the head of the family haven't seen each other for several months, so they have to talk about their private matters. In addition, the eldest brother and the second brother live in the same room.
The new house was also the house where Chang Xixi lived before. There were only three rooms in the house, so Second Aunt left tactfully.
It was not even the fourth day when she arrived home from the city in a bullock cart carrying her luggage. She sat down on a stool and asked Chang Xixi to pour her some water.
Chang Xixi was annoyed. "If you want to drink water, pour it yourself. We are all family, so who is going to serve whom? Second aunt, you can't sleep in the same room with me now."
"It's okay. The air in the countryside is great. I just came here to relax. Living in the city costs money for everything. Business has been bad lately, so I have to save some money."
Chang Xixi rolled her eyes. The cloth shop's business was not good. Everyone in the village knew that the Chang family's cloth shop in the city had the best business.
She still wants to deceive people.
Unfortunately, she is not the fake rich girl Chang Xixi, but a female academic master from modern times. She wants to trick her into growing a few more heads.
Second Aunt was not angry either. After being together for such a long time, she knew that Chang Xixi was a person who didn't care about her words and had a hot temper, and she didn't care about people.
Seeing Gu Rongyu sitting at the table, she went forward to greet him with a smile, "My niece's husband is a symbol of his appearance. He is better than that scholar Zhang who abandoned her after having an affair."
When Chang Xixi heard this, she knew that her second aunt was trying to sow discord. "You, second aunt, please be more polite."
Gu Rongyu interrupted Chang Xixi and said, "I don't know who is better, but Mr. Zhang is indeed a handsome man. If he can pass the imperial examination this year, he will definitely be the third place winner."
Chang Xixi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Yes, it must be the third place winner."
Second Aunt was a rough person and naturally didn't understand what the two were talking about. She went into Dou's room with the bag in her hand in a sullen manner, and Chang Xixi followed her in.
He reached out and put the few copper coins and valuable silver jewelry, as well as Dou's dowry, that were placed in the box into his and Gu Rongyu's room.
Second Aunt's mouth twitched when she saw Chang Xixi's clean and neat movements.
This damn girl!
Chang Xixi put some of the less valuable things in a small wooden box, and took the valuable things into the space to see how Second Aunt would steal them.
Gu Rongyu saw all of this and had a different opinion of Chang Xixi. She seemed to be impulsive and had no rules, but she was actually a rough but meticulous person.
Chang Xixi got up as usual. The other side of the bed was cold. A handsome figure was sitting on the shabby desk with a book in his hand.
Someone had already ground the ink for him, and there was a cup of hot tea with steam rising from it.
"You got up so early today?" Chang Xixi said as she walked out the door and came in carrying a pot of water. When Gu Rongyu was not paying attention, she poured the spiritual spring water into the teacup.
This scene just blocked the view of the black shadow that was busy on the beam. Gu Rongyu's mind was completely distracted and he didn't see it. He told Gu Rongyu that he could have breakfast.
Second Aunt held the porridge in the bowl and frowned in disgust.
"Is this something people can eat? Don't act like you're broke. You weren't some wealthy girl before, but you've lived in that family for so many years and you don't have any pocket money? You're such a loser."
Chang Xixi laughed calmly, "Second Aunt, what does it have to do with you whether I have money or not? I eat for free and you still complain that it's not tasty. If you don't like it, you can go back to the city."
When Mrs. Dou heard this in the kitchen, she fried three eggs and brought them over.
Dou was always soft-hearted and couldn't stand anyone saying no. Chang Xixi curled her lips and smiled, gave one to her second brother Gu Rongyu, and finally handed it to Dou who had just come out of the kitchen.
"Mom, you eat."
Second Aunt put down her chopsticks with a snap!
Dou put the bowl on the table with a smile, "Don't be offended, sister-in-law. Xixi is worried about me. You are a guest in our house, so you should be given food."
