Chapter 138 The hero's best mother (Twenty-five) Monthly ticket Monthly ticket Monthly ticket
"Why?"
"She has already moved away, and we still have to travel dozens of miles to the county to work like slaves for her?"
"Do we need to send her vegetables? Firewood? We can sell those things in the city!"
"And the children, they didn't even let them go! Why? Just because I'm the wife of a wealthy family, I want to have little maids to serve me?"
The people in the Zhao family's old house instinctively resisted after hearing the arrangements made by Patriarch Zhao.
They didn't dare to refuse in person. When they got home, Zhao Da, Zhao Er and Zhao Si, who were from the three rooms, gathered in the main room and started complaining to each other.
"Mom, I, I want to go to the county to take care of Auntie San!"
The adults were indignant, but the children were delighted.
There are seven or eight children in three families, and the oldest one is Daya from the Zhao family.
She is already fourteen years old this year and is about to get married.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are already seeing each other.
I was thinking of arranging a marriage for Daya by the end of the year.
He received the betrothal gift so that he could find a wife for his second son.
When the children took turns working for Gu Qingcheng, Zhao Daya was the most enthusiastic.
First of all, Daya is used to doing it at home.
It's the same wherever you work.
Uh, no, it's different! Working at home is her job, and grandma and mother sometimes dislike it.
When working at my third aunt's house, I always get tips or delicious food, and also receive sweet praise from my third aunt.
Secondly, Daya is the oldest and can consider issues more comprehensively.
She found that when she stayed with her third aunt, her speech and behavior became more "elegant".
Daya doesn't understand what true elegance is.
But she just felt that she seemed to have become more beautiful.
This was not her illusion. Even her younger brothers and sisters praised her.
Now, my aunt has moved to the county again.
The county town is so good. Daya thinks that if she follows her aunt there, it is hard to say whether she can learn any skills, but she will definitely broaden her horizons!
With experience, you can become more attractive and it will be smoother when you are looking for a marriage partner.
Maybe I can find a better family!
When Zhao Daya thought about this, two blushes appeared on her slightly dark face.
She subconsciously imitated Gu Qingcheng, standing straight, folding her hands in front of her, and lowering her eyes slightly.
It's hard to describe how elegant she is, but she's different from an ordinary country girl! "Huh?"
Mrs. Zhao was a shrewd peasant woman. She usually didn't pay attention to it, but today her daughter suddenly stood up. She realized that her daughter had changed! As the old saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up.
But, even if the wild girl from the country grows up, she will become more capable and more aggressive.
How can a pheasant turn into a phoenix? But, but Mrs. Zhao thinks her daughter looks charming.
Not like an ignorant, unruly country girl, but, but some -
Like Gu! In the past ten years, the neighbors have always disliked Gu for being too weak and useless.
Especially the women, when they laughed at her for not being like a woman, they were secretly envious.
She is beautiful and spoiled, loved by her parents and pampered by her husband.
She was the daughter of a butcher from the countryside, but she had never been involved in women's life.
Even though her husband died, she still had a son and "family" to take care of her.
She was a young widow, but her life was better than those around her! Moreover, Gu became more and more beautiful, and her soft and graceful temperament attracted not only men but also women.
Mrs. Zhao stared at her eldest daughter, but she was thinking in her heart: If her daughter can learn a little bit of Gu's skills, she should be able to marry into a very good family.
Also, people in the village said that Gu had hooked up with a rich lady in the county.
Now we are moving to the county.
What a wonderful county town, prosperous and wealthy.
If my daughter stayed in the county with Gu for a period of time, she would definitely gain some experience.
In fact, not only daughters, but sons can also do it! Zhao Qingyun has been studying all the time, and I heard that he is going to go to a college.
My son has been following Zhao Qingyun around, and he has seen and heard a lot, so he should be able to learn a few words.
The most important thing is that the Gu family is generous.
When the children go to her place, she will definitely take care of their food and accommodation.
During festivals, maybe she could get some money as a reward, or even make a new dress for him! ... The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more excited she became.
"Yes! Daya, follow your aunt to the county!"
"And Erlang, you go too! Your cousin is young, you go and keep him company, take him to and from school, and help fan him and massage his back!"
Mrs. Zhao said anxiously.
When she said this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Zhao Da stared at his wife in a daze: Huh? What happened to my child's mother? Doesn't she hate Gu the most? In the past few months, his wife has been cursing behind Gu's back because of working for him.
At this moment, why did she become as if she really regarded Gu as her legitimate sister-in-law?
Seeing Zhao Da's puzzled look, Zhao Da's wife cursed inwardly, "stupid".
Following Gu means she can eat meat. As long as there are benefits, she will be happy to follow Gu, not to mention that they are sisters. She treats Gu as her little ancestor.
Zhao Er's wife was a little slow to react, but she also realized the benefits of being on good terms with the Gu family! "Yes. My sister-in-law is weak and can't do much work. The county is not like the countryside, so let the children go over and help!"
"My three children can go too! Goudan, are you willing?"
Goudan is the eldest son of Zhao Er's wife, and he is eleven years old this year.
He has already reached the age where he knows what is good and what is bad.
Following my aunt and cousin is definitely better than staying at home! Goudan was originally thinking about how to persuade his parents, but he didn't expect his mother to be so kind and actually took the initiative to bring it up.
He nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes! Mother! I do!"
Zhao Si's wife is not the smartest among her sisters-in-law.
But she is smart.
She knew that her elder sister-in-law was cunning and calculating, so she always liked to follow her.
First of all, you won’t suffer any loss.
Secondly, since the eldest sister-in-law took the lead, even if she was scolded, she would be the first to be scolded! She just had to hide behind the eldest sister-in-law and share the benefits obediently!
"And these little monkeys in my house are just naughty at home. It's better for them to go to the county!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The women in the Zhao family's old house seem to be more shrewd.
Although the men were a little slow to react, they all listened to their wives.
It’s not that they are afraid of their wives, but past experience tells them that no matter what their wives do, it’s all for their small family.
A wife will never suffer a loss! My own little family will only get better and better.
Zhao Dashan and Old Lady Zhao are narrow-minded, selfish and biased.
They hated Zhao Guodong's family from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially after Zhao Guodong's death, they, as elders, not only failed to take advantage of their children and grandchildren, but suffered setbacks time and time again.
It was embarrassing enough, but the whole family became long-term workers for Gu's mother and son.
Work like a slave, swallow your anger...
After finally waiting for the Gu family to move out, Patriarch Zhao actually forced them to "help" the Gu family.
What was hateful was that the daughters-in-law suddenly became "friendly" and actively sent their children to Gu! Yes! Gu was rich!
Life in the county is better! But, Gu's mother and son are the nemesis of their Zhao's old house.
The little things that Zhao Da's wife had only a few eyelids on were actually——
However, no matter how angry the Zhao Dashan couple were, they could not go against all their daughters-in-law.
When they get old, they will have to rely on their children and grandchildren for support in their old age.
They don't dare to offend their daughter-in-law! Forget it!
If they are willing to let their children work as maids or servants, then let them do it! Humph, it is not too late to regret after they have suffered losses and been bullied.
Zhao Dashan and his wife were secretly angry and looked stern as they watched their three daughters-in-law quarreling endlessly over how to give their children to the Gu family.
After several rounds of arguments, Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law and her three sisters-in-law finally reached a consensus:
"One person from each room, regardless of gender, will take turns every three months!"
The eldest Zhao chose Zhao Daya; the second Zhao couple sent their eldest son Goudan to go;
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Si were young and their child was the youngest, so they did not have many choices and could only let their older son go.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Great! My maid, my son's servant, and my youngest son's little follower are all here! ...
A carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard on the back street of the academy. Zhao Qingyun got off the carriage first as usual and wanted to help his mother.
My cousin Zhao Daya was quick-witted and rushed to the front of the carriage, "Aunt, please slow down!"
Zhao Qingyun: ...Although I feel a little disappointed, there are differences between men and women after all.
My cousin is indeed more suitable to serve my mother than him! The new house is fully equipped and can be moved in after a simple cleaning.
The house in Zhaojiazhuang is the root of Gu's mother and son and cannot be easily abandoned.
When moving, Zhao Qingyun did not move all his things.
I only packed some clothes and necessary daily necessities.
He didn't even touch the big pot at home! He still had some money, so he could just buy the things he needed for his new home.
Therefore, the move was very easy for the Gu family.
There was no need for Zhao Da and other strong laborers to send out, the task was completed successfully with the help of Zhao Qingyun's brothers and his cousins.
In the small courtyard on the east side, a woman heard the noise and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and listen.
"Huh? New tenants moved in next door?"
The woman was a little curious. She turned to her son and said, "Erlang, look after my sister. I'll go out and take a look!"
"Why!"
A teenage boy agreed.
The woman wiped her hands on her apron and then opened the door of her room.
"You just moved here, right? I'm your neighbor on the east side. My husband's surname is Zheng, and he teaches at Baiyun Academy. My maiden name is Wan!"
Mrs. Wan has a pretty appearance and a very good temperament.
She greeted Gu Qingcheng gracefully.
There was a clear flash of surprise and admiration in Wan's eyes for this frail beauty who needed someone to support her.
Everyone loves beauty, and people basically look at faces.
"My last name is Gu, and my husband's last name is Zhao."
Gu Qingcheng was also happy to have a neighbor who seemed very reasonable.
She is a "top-notch" person, but she doesn't want to deal with top-notch people every day.
Huoshui: ...Hehe, this family might as well be a group of top-notch people.
This fate is truly indescribable!
