During these few days, he was lying in bed in pain, and both the female educated youth at the educated youth site and the girls in the village brought him a lot of food.
The fish soup in front of you is what Zhao Weihong exchanged with his fellow villagers.
"Wen Zhiqing, be careful not to spill the fish soup." Zhao Weihong was quick-witted and subconsciously reached out to hold the bowl, but accidentally touched Wen Zhuqing's warm fingers. Zhao Weihong's face turned red and he retracted his hand.
She told Wen Zhuqing to hold the bowl, her face blushing as she lowered her head to savor the feeling of touching Wen Zhuqing's hand just now, her heart blossoming with joy.
Wen Zhuqing said thank you and didn't notice anything unusual about Zhao Weihong. She lowered her head to drink the fish soup, thinking about what Zhao Weihong had just said.
Zhao Weihong told her about the rumors in the village over the past two days and what Gu Jianing said when she met him.
Even Wen Zhuqing, who was sure that Gu Jianing liked him, couldn't help but wonder: Has Gu Jianing really changed? Is she really planning to marry that military officer named Sheng Zexi, or is she just playing hard to get?
In fact, Gu Jianing, who was most likely to come, did not come these two days.
I heard that Gu Yunting has already gone to work.
Wen Zhuqing vaguely felt that Gu Jianing was out of control.
No, I still have to find some time to meet Gu Jianing in person and ask him.
If she was just playing it safe and didn't really want to marry Officer Sheng, then that would be fine. But if she really changed, then...
Wen Zhuqing's eyes were dark.
How could he let the prey he had set his eyes on escape so easily?
Gu Jianing, who was regarded as a prey by Wen Zhuqing, had just come out of his grandmother's old house. On the way, he heard many villagers talking about Wen Zhuqing's "good market" after being beaten.
Gu Jianing's grandparents had two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son is her father, and the youngest son is her uncle. According to the tradition of Huaihua Village, the elderly live with the youngest son. After her aunt got married and Grandpa Gu passed away, Grandma Gu took the initiative to divide the family. She lived in the old house with the youngest son, and the eldest son, Gu Jianing's father, gave extra money to rebuild the house.
Although they separated, the brothers still had a good relationship, especially Grandma Gu, who did not favor boys over girls. She and her uncle's family especially loved Gu Jianing and would secretly save any delicious food for her.
This time, when the marriage with Sheng Zexi was arranged, Gu Jianing naturally had to tell her grandmother and her uncle's family.
Just then, as he was walking out of the old house happily, he heard Wu Meili, who was turning over sweet potatoes in the field, and a few aunties gathered next to her talking about how Wen Zhuqing was being courted by many female educated youth and girls in the village.
As he saw her approaching, he became more and more excited and louder.
Is this specifically for her?
This Wu Meili, Aunt Wu, she remembered that this person had previously planned to marry her daughter to her eldest brother, but at that time her eldest brother was dating his eldest sister-in-law Yang Manman, and of course it was impossible for him to look at other people. In addition, Yao Chunhua did not like to be a relative of Wu Meili.
So this look is naturally rejected.
But Wu Meili and her daughter seemed to be holding on to it.
She remembered that in her previous life, her eldest brother and his wife had never had children. Aunt Wu had made up stories in the village countless times that her eldest brother's wife was a hen who could not place an order. Those words were extremely unpleasant. Originally, it would have been fine if her eldest brother had a job as a worker, but she gave him to Wen Zhuqing. In the end, her eldest brother failed in everything he did, but the man that Gu Baozhu married, who was originally a carpenter, later made his fortune by making custom furniture.
Later, whenever Wu Meili and her mother Yao Chunhua quarreled with each other, they would say something like "A blessed daughter will not marry into an unblessed family." What she meant was that the Gu family was unlucky, while her daughter was blessed. Not only did she ridicule the Gu family, she also elevated Gu Baozhu.
However, these things will never happen again in this life!
Gu Jianing wondered whether this Aunt Wu wanted her to go to the educated youth to cause trouble.
There was no way she would go and make a noise.
However, she felt that the issue of Wen Zhuqing had to be dealt with.
She knew very well that Wen Zhuqing had a gentle and jade-like appearance, but was a ruthless and cruel poisonous snake inside. Obviously, she had become Wen Zhuqing's prey, and Wen Zhuqing would not give up on her easily before he had squeezed all her value out of her.
Maybe he will cause trouble after finding out that she is going to marry Sheng Zexi.
Therefore, she had to think about how to get rid of Wen Zhuqing. Even if she couldn't get rid of her in one go, it would be better to let Wen Zhuqing suffer a little. At least after she married Sheng Zexi and joined the army, Wen Zhuqing would not be able to plot against the Gu family.
Gu Jianing kept this in mind and slowly approached Wu Meili and others.
Wu Meili caught a glimpse of Gu Jianing approaching and spoke even more happily.
In the past two days, she not only heard about Gu Jianing's meeting with a military officer, but also saw it.
The officer thought she was very good. Wu Meili secretly said in her heart that the officer was blind. How could he fall for Gu Jianing when her daughter was so good.
She thought it would be better for Gu Jianing to like Wen Zhiqing.
Although Wu Meili was talking about how good Wen Zhuqing was and how popular he was among the girls, deep down she didn't like this powerless educated youth and felt he was not very reliable. He only had a nice face and a good mouth. Look at how Gu Jianing was fooled by Wen Zhuqing before. Not only did she give all her food and drinks to Wen Zhiqing, she also jumped into the river to force her brother to give the job to Wen Zhiqing.
Although Gu Jianing later said it was a slip and Gu Yunting went to work and denied the rumor, Wu Meili did not believe it.
She hoped that Gu Jianing would continue to chase after Wen Zhiqing, so that the entire Gu family would be dragged into it.
In fact, Wu Meili's feeling was right. In her previous life, Wen Zhuqing took advantage of Gu Jianing and squeezed out all the value of everyone in the Gu family.
"...I think Wen Zhiqing is really good. She is good-looking, has a good personality, and I heard that she can recite poetry. She is also from Shanghai. Whoever marries Wen Zhiqing will become a Shanghainese in the future." Wu Meili praised Wen Zhuqing highly.
Gu Jianing approached, hugged her chest, and asked in a sweet voice, pretending to be puzzled: "Auntie Wu, do you really think Wen Zhiqing is that good?"
Wu Meili turned around, as if she had just seen Gu Jianing. She knew that Gu Jianing had heard her words, and her eyes were full of smiles. "Yes, I think Wen Zhiqing is very good, and a very good candidate for husband and son-in-law."
"Oh, really? Then if Wen Zhiqing becomes Aunt Wu's son-in-law, wouldn't you be very happy?" Gu Jianing blinked her beautiful almond eyes, as if she couldn't see the deeper meaning of Wu Meili's words, and echoed her.
"That would make me happy." Even though Wu Meili disliked the educated youth in her heart, she had to agree with Gu Jianing's words at this moment.
"No wonder you looked so happy, Aunt Wu. It turns out that Wen Zhiqing is going to be your son-in-law." Gu Jianing said with sudden enlightenment.
Wu Meili was confused. What did that mean? What did Wen Zhiqing mean to be her son-in-law?
Gu Jianing blinked and pretended to be surprised, "Auntie Wu, don't you know? Your daughter Zhenzhu likes Wen Zhiqing. By the way, are you stewing meat today? I saw that Zhenzhu seemed to want to give the meat to Wen Zhiqing. Why, Auntie Wu, don't you know?"
