In the end, Zhang Shi still couldn't find out how much silver Gu Hui and Gu Si would get.
Actually, since Zhang's family members were no longer in the village, the Gu family didn't intentionally hide it from her. Every time, it was Uncle Gu who could steer the conversation to completely different topics, and Zhang herself would forget to ask.
This led Zhang to believe that the two girls were just working for the second son's family, earning maybe a few hundred copper coins a month.
After dinner, Grandma Gu called her granddaughters to the second room for some business.
She originally intended to stay at the old house, but she really didn't want to see those two idiots from the first wife's family, and she didn't want to hear their stupid words.
Grandma Gu never beat around the bush; she usually got straight to the point. Once they arrived at the main room of the second house, she sat down and said, "Niannian, there's something wrong with Jiang Yao on your estate."
The four sisters were a little confused: "Jiang Yao?"
Grandma Gu frowned and looked at the four sisters: "Meng Meng's fiancée."
The sisters remembered.
Since bringing over the entire Mengmeng village at the beginning of the year, they've only been in contact with Meng's wife and a few others, as well as Zheng Ling and Meng Yan. Their minds are filled with thoughts of all the other men, and they've completely forgotten about Rao's existence.
Gu Nian was on guard against this fiancée in the first half of the year, but nothing happened. In addition, they were busy with the Gu sisters' store and forgot about this person.
Seeing that they remembered, Grandma Gu continued, "She's been coming over to chat these past few days. Yesterday afternoon, I saw her walk to the foot of the back mountain and then turn back and leave the village, so I followed her. Then at the village entrance, I saw her get into a car heading towards Zhoujia Town. Later, I was worried and was planning to come over to check on you guys that night, but then I saw her come back to the village from the back mountain."
Gu Hui: "Grandma, is the problem with her because you suspect she's having an affair behind her fiancé Meng Meng's back, or is it because she's doing something to us?"
Grandma Gu twitched her lips. "There are still two girls here. Eldest granddaughter, can you be a little more tactful?"
Grandma Gu: "Anything is possible. I asked Second Madam Meng and Fourth Madam Meng today. They said that yesterday Jiang Yao went to town to find Meng Meng to go home together, but she couldn't find him and went back by herself. As for the owner of that carriage, I asked your grandfather to go to town this morning to ask Old Man Zhou. There are indeed outsiders in the inn in Zhoujia Town. What do you plan to do?"
Gu Hui clenched her fist: "We'll go to town in a bit, grab them, beat them up, and then interrogate them!"
Gu Nian said, "What if they don't admit it? And we need to find out their identities before we act!"
Gu Xin: "Sister, you and Sister Huihui go to the manor later and see if Jiang Yao is there. If she is, arrest her; if not, go to town and wait for us. Sisi and I will call Brother Yuanyuan and go to Grandpa Zhou's inn to check it out! We'll have Brother Yuanyuan find out who that person is!"
Gu Si looked at her three older sisters and indicated that she would follow their orders.
Grandma Gu said, "I was planning to go to town to take a look even though you weren't coming back today. I always felt that Jiang Yao was memorizing things from Nian Nian's lab. She was so quiet, and no one at the Meng Er Niangzi and Meng San Niangzi's estate cared about her except for Meng Meng. Sometimes, when Meng Meng wasn't around, she might not be at the estate at all."
Gu Hui looked at Gu Nian: "Just do as Xin Xin says. The two of us will go to the estate, and A Yuan will take her and Si Si to town. We'll handle our own affairs, just like how Second Aunt handled her own shop incident. That way, we can set a good example for the people below!"
Gu Nian nodded.
She no longer rejects Lu Zheng and Gu Xin, and with Huo Junhao and Gu Si around, she has even less to worry about.
After the sisters finished talking, they asked Grandma Gu to help look after the house, then changed their clothes and went out.
