Chapter 41 Rumors are flying everywhere
Moreover, these clothes were just as Zhou Manman had imagined.
They are all more in line with this era, and most of them are in dark blue, gray, black and white tones.
However, there are also some lighter pinks, yellows, blues, and purples.
They are all basic styles that can be matched at will.
Zhou Manman was very satisfied.
She chose a white short-sleeved shirt and black wide-leg pants.
I have to say, this combination is both casual and good-looking.
Although the color is monotonous, it is very harmonious.
Because the weather is not very hot now, wearing it alone like this will make people too cold.
Therefore, Zhou Manman also put on a light gray sweater jacket on the outside.
The main theme is simplicity, gentleness and freehand style.
Today she tied her hair into a pigtail, but she chose a dark green headband, which the original owner brought from the capital.
She wrapped it directly around her hair and then placed it on her shoulders.
When Zhou Manman came out, Chen Chunmei had just finished practicing Ba Duan Jin. She was sweating all over, but her usually pale face now had a bit more color.
Seeing Zhou Manman coming out, she immediately said, "Manman, you look so beautiful today. This hair ornament is so pretty. I cooked some porridge and scrambled eggs and put them in the kitchen."
"Okay, Mom, you look better day by day." Zhou Manman was very happy to be praised by Chen Chunmei.
"Thanks to you, I feel that I am getting better and better, and I have more energy to do anything." Chen Chunmei continued, "I just went out for a walk and ran into the team leader. I told him that I wanted to work in the fields and earn work points. He was very surprised, as if he didn't expect that I would get better so quickly."
Zhou Manman drank porridge and ate scrambled eggs, saying, "Mom, you can do some farm work, as long as it's not too tiring."
Proper work is good for the human body.
Especially people like Chen Chunmei who can't rest even when they are sick.
Sometimes, it is not the work that needs people, but people who need the work.
She had seen too many retired people before, and some of them were in good condition after retirement.
Some people, on the other hand, are completely the opposite. They age instantly after retirement and are often suffering from one disease or another.
Zhou Manman knew that these were all their worries.
After working hard all their lives, they suddenly have free time and are no longer needed, and they will feel useless.
Once you are in a bad mood, physical illness will come knocking on your door.
"Now in this family, you cook the meals and treat the illnesses. Mom doesn't have much to help with, so it's good to do some work."
"Mom, don't say that. You took care of me a lot before." Zhou Manman hurriedly comforted Chen Chunmei.
Seeing Zhou Manman become so better, Chen Chunmei was deeply touched.
It seems that their family will definitely get better and better in the future.
Zhou Manman didn’t know that on the other side, Li Jianguo shook his head after hearing that Chen Chunmei took the initiative to go to the fields to work.
Tell Huang Junhong about this.
"You said that the daughter-in-law of the Gu family is really unkind. She is so young and healthy, but she does not work at home and eats every day. Now even her mother-in-law who has been ill for so many years has to work in the fields. What's going on?"
Huang Junhong was also a little surprised when she heard this: "You mean, Comrade Gu Linchuan's mother is going to work in the fields?"
"Yes, she met me early this morning and told me about it."
"Captain, Secretary, do you think that bitch Zhou Manman makes her mother-in-law do the work?" At this time, someone next to him interrupted.
Li Jianguo turned his head and saw Wu Zhaodi's face.
Wu Zhaodi didn't work in the fields before, but since she was tricked by Zhou Manman last time, Lin Yaozu urged her to do so, and she had no choice but to join the ranks of those working in the fields.
Since she is so old, the team leader will naturally not assign her too many tasks, but her work points can only be reduced by half.
Working so hard every day just to get a bite to eat.
As a result, Wu Zhaodi became more and more resentful towards Zhou Manman.
Look, it was this woman who made her become like this and also made Gu Linchuan break off relations with their Lin family!
If this isn’t a disaster, what is?
"Comrade Wu Zhaodi, please don't say such harsh words." Huang Junhong persuaded her.
But Wu Zhaodi was confident: "It's obvious that she was wrong. What if I said something unpleasant? I'm an old man, but I'm healthy. It's okay for me to work. But Chen Chunmei is in such poor health and won't live for many days. She still has to work. It's too pitiful!"
As Wu Zhaodi spoke, she shook her head and pretended to be very distressed.
When Li Jianguo and Huang Junhong saw Wu Zhaodi like this, they frowned, but said nothing in the end.
Come on, this person Wu Zhaodi, this is not the first day they have known each other.
But soon, the rumor began to spread.
Wu Zhaodi started to talk about Zhou Manman to everyone she met: "Not only is this woman lazy and gluttonous at home every day, but now she is forcing her sick mother-in-law to work in the fields. Damn it! The entire Gu family has been crushed by this woman."
"She looks like a vixen. She used to chase after other men, but now she's causing trouble for her family."
"Is Zhou Manman such a person?" someone asked.
"That's not the case. Look at me. I'm so old, and she beat me last time!"
Wu Zhaodi has no other skills, but she is a first-rate person at telling lies.
She can describe a matter that is not serious in a very vivid way.
Therefore, Zhou Manman's reputation was not very good to begin with, but after Wu Zhaodi spread the news for most of the day, Zhou Manman had become an object of everyone's contempt.
Zhou Manman took out the pig's feet at noon and decided to make a braised pig's trotter.
There is so much meat in the space now that we can’t finish eating it!
Fortunately, she bought a lot of meat on the black market last time, so she wouldn't arouse suspicion from the Gu family.
Next time, when she feels she has consumed enough energy, she will go to town again.
Zhou Manman also took out pork liver and cooked wolfberry leaf pork liver soup.
Add some greens and it’ll be enough for four people!
Because the portion of pig's feet is quite large.
She didn’t really like eating leftovers, so she decided to leave it for the evening.
Zhou Manman stewed pig's feet with peanuts and soybeans, and simmered them in the pot, cooking a whole pot.
By noon, the aroma of the Gu family's cooking spread in the air again.
These smells made the villagers and educated youth passing by swallow their saliva.
My god, when you smell the meaty aroma, you know a lot of meat must have been used to make this dish, so it smells so good.
Wu Zhaodi also smelled it, and she immediately cursed: "Look at that lazy woman in the Gu family, she eats so well every day! She makes her mother-in-law work in the fields and cook for her. She is really not a human being."
When everyone heard Wu Zhaodi's words, they all looked as if they had suddenly understood something.
I didn’t expect Zhou Manman to be this kind of person!
Who has ever seen such a happy person? He doesn't have to do anything and enjoys delicious food every day. It's really enviable.
We’ll have dinner when Gu Linchuan and Gu Sitian come back.
They now always look forward to going home for dinner because they can always eat delicious meat and every meal is unique!
Zhou Manman picked up a piece of meat for Gu Linchuan and said to him with a smile: "Husband, you have worked hard, eat more."
Gu Linchuan turned his head and looked at Zhou Manman's sweet smile. Her eyes were full of light, and she was simply incredibly beautiful.
Her lips were also red, like a rose, which reminded him of the kiss last night.
