Chapter 70: Indirect Blaming
Let's not talk about anything else! Even the Zhou family's assets were more than Chang Xixi's personal belongings. She had an idea of how much money she had taken away that year, but it was just some jewelry. After living alone for a year, those jewelry items must have been pawned long ago. Look at the hairpin on her head, it's just silver.
As soon as Chang Xixi heard it, she knew what she was up to. It was nothing more than that the one who was close to the water got the moon first.
Without even thinking, she stood up and kowtowed to Zhou Zhiwei. Then, with tears in her eyes, she asked Gu Rongyu to help her up. She nodded and groveled to Zhou Zhiwei again, "Miss Zhou, you are so kind. My heart is relieved immediately. Not to mention, it costs money to stay in the inn, and we don't have meat for three meals a day. Look how hungry my husband is. The main thing is that I am afraid that I won't have enough money to go back, so I have to save money. My husband's expenses for going to the capital will definitely be high, and my money is almost gone. You are really kind-hearted and don't make things difficult for me. You don't even mind that I took your place before. You are so kind."
…
Why did Zhou Zhiwei feel so uncomfortable when he heard this?
It was clearly the midwife's mistake, so how could it be her fault? I didn't want to go to you again, so I asked someone to take them to the side hospital and wait for the lady to come back in the afternoon to make a decision.
But Chang Xixi refused to leave, saying that she and Zhou Zhiwei had a deep sisterly bond and insisted on talking for a while longer.
Zhou Zhiwei just frowned, but when she saw Gu Rongyu's handsome face which was different from other young masters, she felt comfortable. Moreover, Gu Rongyu rarely smiled and was very cold. His whole body was spotless, just like a god who had come down to earth.
Seeing her makes me feel happy. It is indeed different from Chang Xixi's face, which makes people feel disgusted. Chang Xixi is better looking than her. How can the daughter of a village woman be so beautiful?
And she, a daughter of the Zhou family, wasn't even one-tenth as beautiful as her. Even dressed up, she couldn't compare to her in the slightest. Chang Xixi wasn't dressed up at all today, looking very plain, but she was even more eye-catching than her. As soon as they met, these emotions kept erupting in Zhou Zhiwei's heart, tangled and tactful.
"Chang Xixi, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush. You know... I don't like beating around the bush. Besides, you're really wasting time. I've made an appointment with the Zhang family's daughter to come to my house and play this afternoon." Zhou Zhiwei snorted coldly and was about to get up and leave.
Chang Xixi was just waiting for her to leave! That way, tomorrow, there would be rumors in Ruzhou County! They would say that the Zhou family's daughter was bullying people, that she was still unengaged at such an old age, that she must be a barren woman, or that she had been raped in the countryside.
Zhou Zhiwei had just taken two steps when she came back and sat down on the stool.
"Miss Zhou, isn't something important? Why aren't you going? I'm not really a guest. I'm just a distant relative. I'm already very grateful that you could spend some time with me. Go ahead! Don't worry about me and my husband. We've had enough of cold words along the way. Sometimes, we didn't have the money to go to the inn to complain, so we had to sleep in the carriage. The wind in the woods at night! And the sounds of wolves, tigers and leopards can scare people to death. Miss Zhou is definitely not afraid, you grew up in that kind of environment. But I am afraid! My husband and I are afraid. Fortunately, we have several servants to protect us along the way."
"Do you still have money to buy someone?"
Zhou Zhiwei snorted disdainfully. "How fussy! You can't even be a lady, yet you're trying to act like a rich girl. You really think you're a rich girl, but you don't even take a piss and look in the mirror to see what you look like now! What a joke."
"Isn't it? I was afraid that my husband would suffer with me, so I hired a servant and two men to do the rough work downstairs, but they're not very diligent. I still have to do a lot of things. I wonder if Miss Zhou could ask the servants at the door to bring them here? I'm afraid they'll get anxious if they can't find anyone. We originally agreed to just say a few words and leave. Now, we've been here for half a day, and they must be anxious again. Is there any food to eat this afternoon? I'm afraid they'll be hungry. Can you give them some food? The food doesn't need to be too much, three bowls of rice per person and three dishes."
After Chang Xixi finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Zhiwei with that cautious expression again, as if trying to please him, or testing him. Anyway, that expression looked like she was asking for a beating! Moreover, it was the kind of expression that made her want to stomp him to death.
If Qingnan were here, she would definitely complain about Chang Xixi, saying that she is a drama queen and can act in any role.
Zhou Zhiwei was speechless after hearing what she said, so he had to ask the servant at the door to bring the person in.
It's not scary that people come in, but the people who come in are beyond imagination. It can be seen with the naked eye that Li Da is very scary. What's the matter with Renwen's face full of anger? And what's the matter with Qingnan's face so ugly?
Who offended these three people?
How could Chang Xixi watch her people being bullied and do nothing?
So, she knelt down to the woman again, "Miss Zhou, did I make you angry, so you want to punish my servants? What happened to them? Why do you treat them like this?" Chang Xixi cried very ugly, which made the two people who came in feel uneasy.
How could they not know who Chang Xixi was?
A woman who can run a teahouse successfully, a woman who can scold a shrew and send her home, how could she be afraid of a rich girl like this? Moreover, this position was previously held by her, but now it was replaced by someone else, who has only been sitting there for a year. Is it worth her kneeling like this?
This is totally impossible!
What a joke!
Qingnan, however, saw the clue. He had known in Wanfu Village that their wife was cunning and capable of anything, let alone kneeling. He just wanted to watch a good show, so he knelt on the ground and slapped himself hard.
"Madam, please don't be like this! It hurts me to see you like this! It's my fault for not keeping a close eye on the brothers and letting them mess around. Don't blame Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou is so kind. We stood at the door and waited for two hours without even a sip of tea. Originally, we wanted to wait in the carriage, but we didn't dare to act rashly! We had to sit in the street and be laughed at. We didn't dare to say we were your servants, so we could only keep our heads down."
Chang Xixi thought to herself, "Great! As expected of Qingnan!" "Get up and answer!"
"Thank you, ma'am, but Miss Zhou hasn't let me get up yet, so I don't dare to get up."
