Chapter 10 Sister-in-law is Reborn (Part 9)
Gu Qingcheng sat under a big tree by the river, holding a cloth tiger in her arms and a small bamboo basket beside her.
The bamboo basket is very small, about the size of an adult's palm.
The two ends of the bamboo basket are tied with red ropes and can be hung directly on the body.
Inside are many exquisite snacks: two-inch square rice cakes, bright red dates, fried fish and cat ears.
There are many varieties, but not many of each snack.
These were all made by Li Xiuniang herself.
In his previous life, Gu Feng was drafted to perform corvée labor and disappeared while repairing a river embankment.
Li Xiuniang took on the burden of supporting the family.
I farm during the busy farming season and do some small business during the slack farming season.
She is clever, willing to work hard, and good at dealing with things. She started out by working for others outside.
I learned some things secretly while working, and then set up a small stall of my own.
By cooking, she not only supported the entire Gu family, but also saved money for her sister-in-law's dowry and for her brother-in-law's education.
pity--
Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of the bad memories of her previous life, Li Xiuniang started over again.
She did not rush to do business, but instead used her good skills to take the power of cooking from Zhao.
In the three years since she came to the Gu family, Li Xiuniang has worked diligently and willingly.
Especially towards his sister-in-law Gu Qingcheng, he took care of her wholeheartedly.
Zhao went from being wary of her at first to gradually accepting her.
Although I still can't treat her as a family member, I won't treat her like a thief like I did at the beginning.
At least, now Zhao dared to let Li Xiuniang take Gu Qingcheng out alone and handed over the kitchen to her.
Li Xiuniang had lived two lifetimes and had seen the ugliness of human nature, so she naturally understood Zhao's concerns - if she took Gu Qingcheng out alone, what would she do if he had bad intentions, sold the child, and ran away?
If it were any other little girl, no one would buy it no matter how old she was.
But Gu Qingcheng is different, this child is good-looking.
Not to mention the skinny horses from Yangzhou or some shameful places, even those matchmakers certified by the government would like to buy those that look better.
Gu Qingcheng might also be abducted and sold.
Li Xiuniang was a child bride from outside, and we had no idea about her background. She might have done something harmful.
Zhao and Gu Dahai treated their little girl as their own precious apple, so they naturally paid close attention to her.
Therefore, when Li Xiuniang first came to the Gu family, she did have to bring her sister-in-law with her, but she was basically under Zhao's "surveillance".
Or maybe it was because Li Xiuniang's performance in the past three years was good enough that Zhao felt that she really treated the Gu family as her own home and was very concerned about Gu Qingcheng, so she lowered her guard against Li Xiuniang.
Li Xiuniang: ...The sister-in-law in the previous life was indeed hateful, but Gu Qingcheng in this life is indeed lovable.
Alas, every time Gu Qingcheng acted naughty and caused Li Xiuniang to be scolded by Zhao, Li Xiuniang would also get angry.
I also want to secretly pinch Gu Qingcheng twice.
But when she saw her sister-in-law's incredibly pretty appearance, her heart softened again.
The outstretched hand involuntarily changes from "pinching" to "touching".
Well, the little guy's skin is really good, as white as snow, as tender as water, and has a particularly pleasant smell.
"Oh, how come my sister-in-law is so beautiful in this life? I can't bear to teach her a lesson!"
She despised herself countless times in her heart, but the next time, Li Xiuniang would still be intoxicated by the stunning beauty of her sister-in-law.
"My dear, eat your food! I'll go wash the clothes, and then I'll catch some fish for you! I'll make fish balls for you in the evening."
Li Xiuniang held a large wooden basin and spoke to Gu Qingcheng in a soft voice.
Gu Qingcheng raised her head, and blinked at Li Xiuniang with her big, innocent eyes as moist as a deer's.
After a long while, she finally responded, "Okay! I'll be good! I want to eat fish balls!"
When Li Xiuniang saw Gu Qingcheng's obedient and gentle appearance, she loved her so much.
Resisting the urge to rub the little beauty's hairy head, Li Xiuniang hurried to the river to wash clothes.
Although my sister-in-law is stupid, oh no, she is slow to react, but she is very obedient.
If you tell her to stay still, she won't run around.
Otherwise, Li Xiuniang would not dare to bring her with her when she was working.
Blinking her big eyes, watching Li Xiuniang washing clothes skillfully by the river, Gu Qingcheng fell into a state of "wandering in space" again.
Her mind was in a mess and many images seemed to flash through her mind.
Those pictures include beautiful beauties, big houses, gorgeous clothes and jewelry.
There were also many books, and a lot of knowledge and principles that she could not understand at all.
Gu Qingcheng instinctively wanted to grab it, but she couldn't catch anything.
Her already insufficient brain became even more dull after being disturbed by these chaotic images.
The system that had been staying deep in Gu Qingcheng's sea of consciousness: ...
It doesn't even dare to breathe.
He didn't even dare to jump out and communicate with Gu Qingcheng.
Wow, trading IQ for beauty, the super high value of 96 points dropped to 42 points in an instant, far below the qualified point of 60 points.
He is a rather stupid person.
This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that although her IQ has dropped, Gu Qingcheng, as the executor, has retained her original memory.
The complex memories were forced onto a brain with a low IQ, and the story line was advanced to Gu Qingcheng's infancy.
Children's brain capacity is not large.
The combined effect of these factors directly turned "Gu Qingcheng" into a little fool.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Tsk, trading your intelligence for beauty, isn't that stupid? I wonder how you can complete the mission!"
A feeling of regret flashed through the depths of the system's kernel.
Alas, I thought I had tied up with a smart executor and could do a good business with her.
result--
"Woo woo! This system doesn't want to look for an executor anymore!"
The system cried silently.
Gu Qingcheng felt a little tired. There were too many things in her mind and they were too messy, which made her already inflexible brain even more cluttered.
"Eat! Eat fruit!"
If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. Gu Qingcheng followed her body's instinct, took out a red fruit from the small bamboo basket, and started to eat it in small bites.
There were other children playing by the river. When they saw the fair and pretty Gu Qingcheng, they were a little distracted.
They were all people from nearby villages, and some were even relatives from the same village or clan. They all knew Gu Qingcheng and knew that this was the Gu family's treasure.
They wanted to play with Gu Qingcheng, but unfortunately there was always an "elder" looking after her.
Before they can even surround us, they will be driven away!
Look, there were a few naughty children, perhaps they had their eyes on the snack basket in front of Gu Qingcheng, or perhaps they wanted to play with the pretty fairy, so they tiptoed over.
Gu Qingcheng raised her head, her delicate little face was dazed.
However, the children were attracted by her fair and delicate appearance and did not notice anything unusual about her.
Gu Qingcheng blinked and continued to take food from the small basket.
"Little fairy, oh no, little girl, are the red fruits delicious?"
The leader of the children was a boy of seven or eight years old. He was dark, thin and very smart.
The look towards Gu Qingcheng was somewhat obsessed——
Don't get me wrong, it's not the kind of obsession between men and women, but an instinctive appreciation of beautiful things.
Hearing the word "delicious", Gu Qingcheng finally reacted. She nodded and said, "Eat!"
She actually meant "delicious".
However, he is slow to react and sometimes his words are not clear enough.
But the skinny boy misunderstood and thought the fairy invited him to eat red fruits.
The little boy was suddenly excited, his face turned red, and with trembling hands, he took a red fruit from the small basket.
Gu Qingcheng was stunned, her big eyes were full of confusion——
Why did this person steal my fruit?
The skinny dark boy was so excited that he didn't notice that Gu Qingcheng was about to cry.
He crunched the fruit.
With him as a "role model", other children followed suit and stretched out their little black hands towards the small bamboo basket.
"Wow!"
It was not until the small basket was empty that Gu Qingcheng reacted and started crying loudly.
When Li Xiuniang heard the noise, she quickly turned around and saw a group of children surrounding Gu Qingcheng.
She was so frightened that she rushed over with a laundry pestle in her hand.
The children scattered like frightened birds.
By the evening, the news spread throughout the village and surrounding areas.
The little girl of the Gu family is very pretty and generous, but the child bride is too fierce.
Li Xiuniang: ...I can be fierce, but it's better than letting people know that my sister-in-law is a little fool.
However, with this incident, Li Xiuniang came up with a reason to persuade her parents-in-law...
