Chapter 50 Evil Intentions
He hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and made up a lie.
Gu Rongyu knew she wasn't telling the truth, so he stopped forcing her. He flipped through the book in his hand. The four people and the ox disappeared along the muddy path, obscured by the vastness of the mountains, into the twilight, and finally appeared at the entrance of Wanfu Village.
Chang Hai also happened to be leaving home, with a bullock cart pulling some goods.
Chang Xixi naturally greeted Chang Hai when she saw him, and said warmly, "Second brother, it's so late, where are you going?"
"It only takes one or two vehicles to go to the city. I can't compete with my neighbors for a living, so someone asked me to transport these things, and I did it if I thought it was feasible. If I'm too busy, I'll go to the city to drive the other vehicle." Chang Hai smiled naively.
"Don't be too tired. There's no shortage of food at home."
Chang Xixi felt extremely relieved in her heart. Even though her second brother was disabled, he still wanted to do something to contribute to the family. However, the Li family and Uncle Pang's family only thought about where there was a bargain and where they could make money. They never thought about creating wealth with their own hands. Why was the gap between people so huge?
Chang Hai smiled and raised the whip in his hand, "Xixi, second brother has gone. However, he has stayed at home for too long and wants to find something to do." After that, the ox cart followed Chang Hai and disappeared at the entrance of the village to the neighboring Pomegranate Village, which was only half a quarter of an hour's journey.
When she answered home, Chang Xixi immediately heated up the pot and started cooking. Although the food in the teahouse was delicious and plentiful, it was ultimately not as delicious as the food she cooked at home.
Gu Rongyu didn't feel anything different. He just watched Chang Xixi busy in the kitchen preparing his meal, and his heart felt warm and indescribable. It was like the auspicious snow in winter melting into water in the sun, emitting a dazzling light.
"It's time to eat."
Chang Xixi said in the kitchen that today she cooked a fish, fried some pancakes, and made a pot of hot rice porridge and served it on the table.
Qingnan was so greedy that his mouth was watering, he almost wanted to have a hada!
The brother on the beam smelled the fragrance and felt hungry too, but there was no one to take over the shift, so he could only take out a dry bun from his arms and eat it with saliva. After eating it for a few days, he became the same as Qingnan, with tears in his eyes due to greed. He begged his countrymen to give him a holiday so that he could at least go hunt some game.
Gu Rongyu just thought that he was not motivated enough and couldn't bear such a little hardship!
He didn't pay much attention to it, but Qingnan secretly gave him a chicken leg to satisfy his craving. As soon as he took a bite, he was pounced on by the chicken in the yard. He was so aggrieved that he almost cried. A dignified secret guard was actually embarrassed by a chicken leg. Who would believe it if he told others about it?
Qingnan just sighed when he saw it!
I walked over and patted the guy on the shoulder, "Just bear with it! I've been through this too, and there will always be a way out."
Chirp...
The rooster was holding the chicken leg in its mouth but not eating it, just running around. It was then taken away by a wild cat that came from nowhere. The rooster was so angry that he flapped his wings and chased after it, but he couldn't catch up with the wild cat, so he just kept calling in the yard.
Chang Xixi poked her head out of the study. "Qingnan, are you bullying the chickens in the yard again? I told you not to mess with them. If you have nothing to do, go to your mother's house and help with the rough housework. Wash the clothes at home, and dry the quilts in the sun."
Alas, Qingnan accepted his fate and hung the quilt out to dry first, then went to wash clothes. A big man squatted by the stream and knocked the stick sadly. Is this what he should do?
It was already after noon when he finished all this. After lunch, he went to Dou's house to help with farming.
He really does three things as one person!
Gu Rongyu naturally ignored these things. He sat at his desk, staring at the book in his hand.
…
A nobleman was playing with a beautiful woman when he heard a servant outside the door gossiping about a name he was familiar with. "Come in and tell me, this name sounds familiar."
The servant heard the shouts from inside the door, stood up, went inside, and knelt on the ground. "Master, this is the fake daughter of the Zhou family. Didn't you have an engagement? Last time, when we went together, we saw her hanging herself. It was quite funny."
"It's her? What bad luck!"
Zhu Youcai held the woman in his arms with one hand and waved a fan with the other. The beauty leaned on him like a boneless woman with a bunch of grapes in her hand, and whispered in Zhu Youcai's ear: "Master, don't mention Taman's woman at this time. I will be jealous."
"It's all your fault, my beauty, for being jealous!" Zhu Youcai glanced at the servant kneeling below and cursed him angrily. It was clear from his tone that he was just blaming her to please the beauty.
Since the young master called him into the house, he must want to hear what he said to others outside.
The servant smiled shrewdly and said, "I heard that Miss Chang married Scholar Gu, and then she rented a teahouse and opened a school. She's doing very well now. She doesn't do farm work anymore, her skin has become whiter, and she looks much better now."
"Is he rich? Then who is Gu Xiucai and why is he married to Chang Xixi?"
Zhu Youcai asked as if he was reporting something.
Recently, Pan learned that there was a teahouse in the city that was a favorite haunt of many talented men and beautiful women. He had always disliked literary and artistic pursuits and rarely visited elegant places. Although he had heard of it, he had never been there.
"He made a lot of money, but I heard he was a very stingy person. The teahouse is doing very well now. I heard he makes a fortune every day, some say millions. There's a constant stream of people coming in every day, and you can even go and challenge people in the boxing ring. It's really interesting."
The servant described it vividly, but Zhu Youcai was not interested in this teahouse, but was interested in Chang Xixi!
If you have money, what kind of women can’t you play with?
Suddenly, he felt that the woman in his hand was like a vase, and he lost interest. He stood up and planned to go out to meet her.
Gu Rongyu is just a scholar and he doesn’t refuse!
Originally, Chang Xixi was supposed to be his woman. He gave her up, so Gu Rongyu got her for free… If he wanted her back, he wouldn't dare say anything. Thinking of this, he said to the servant who was still kneeling behind him, "Go get a horse. I want to go and take a look."
The neglected beauty was not convinced. She walked slowly behind Zhou Youcai, grabbed his arm, and whispered angrily.
"Master...where are you going? Don't leave Yin'er behind."
Seeing the beauty frowning sadly, Zhu Youcai couldn't bear to hurt her feelings, so he reached out and pinched her cheek, "Be good and wait for me at home. I'm still waiting for you to relieve my sexual desire tonight."
The beauty's face turned red, and blood seemed to drip out. "Master, you are so bad."
Seeing the woman in his arms, so charming and alluring, shy, embarrassed and delighted, he felt a sign of something rising, and his heart tightened. But the servant came up to report in a dull tone, "Master, the horses are ready."
