In the eyes of women, that's stupid!
Besides, Gu is indeed very stupid and easy to deceive.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house was able to cheat her out of hundreds of taels of silver, and some villagers who loved to take advantage of others would also go to cheat her.
Although after Zhao Guodong's death, the Zhao clan leader openly favored the Gu mother and son, and there was also the tragic incident at the Zhao family's old house, the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang rarely thought about it.
However, there are still a very small number of top-notch people and people outside the village who are interested.
Just today, a woman from the next village came to Gu Qingcheng with a calculating look on her face.
"Cousin, let me tell you, this is a good business!"
"The hostess is the concubine of the county lord, and she has the county lord's support behind her."
"I'm only helping you out because I feel sorry for you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be willing to give up such a good business."
"If you invest a share, you can get a share of the profits every month, and you can also establish a relationship with the county magistrate."
"I heard that your Qingyun will be eliminated next year? Oh, the county magistrate is personally in charge of the selection... Cousin, think about it yourself, huh?"
At the end of the conversation, the person who was said to be Zhao Guodong's distant cousin deliberately winked at Gu Qingcheng.
"You mean to say that if I do business with the concubine of the county lord, I can help my son Qingyun pass the imperial examination?"
A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.
Gu Qingcheng blinked her big eyes, and she captured the original owner's innocent and gullible temperament perfectly.
Even the cheap cousin Qian was a little dazed: This Gu is a little stupid, but she is really good-looking.
With this appearance, if she had not been a virtuous woman, she could have married into the county and become the county magistrate's concubine.
Alas, it is such a waste of such beautiful looks that I can only stay in the countryside and be a crude peasant woman.
Qian sighed secretly in her heart.
I even have a feeling of "hate iron but not steel": If it were me, I would have used this face to climb up the social ladder long ago.
So, this Gu is really stupid!
She is only in her twenties and she has to remain faithful to her dead husband.
Does she really think being a widow is that easy?
It would be bad enough if I didn't have a companion who understood me, but the main problem was that I would be bullied.
Which village doesn’t have some low-class thugs?
These bastards kick widows' doors and dig up graves of families without children.
Since Gu was so beautiful, it was inevitable that she would be targeted by those gangsters.
Huh?
Wait a minute!
It seems that I haven’t heard any “romantic” stories about the Gu family.
Is Zhaojiazhuang so good that there isn't even a single gangster?
Gangster: ...Listen to what you are saying?
Let me bully the Gu family?
I would like to, but I don’t dare.
First of all, although Gu was a widow, the Zhao family was not extinct.
The three brothers of the Zhao family, three small families, took turns working for the Gu family at Zhao Guodong's house.
Even at night, there would be a little nephew or niece serving Gu.
It's easy to climb over the wall, but if you meet someone from the Zhao family, haha, you'd be lucky if you were beaten up and had your legs or arms broken.
Secondly, although Gu is beautiful, she is just a beauty lamp.
It breaks if you blow it! It falls over if you touch it!
Even if I cry for a good time, I will vomit blood.
If you are bullied, you can just die!
The gangster just wants to take advantage of others, not to die!
Insulting a chaste woman to death!
This crime was so horrible that the magistrate should chop off his head three times.
Before the government officials locked him up and took him back to question him, he might be beaten to death by the angry people of Zhaojiazhuang!
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng's magical operation not only brought a free maid to the family, but also frightened the villains in and outside the village.
No one has ever knocked on her door in the middle of the night!
This is a hidden danger that she cannot completely eradicate even if she buys maids and old women.
However, she easily achieved it through several rounds of competition with the Zhao family's old house.
No one comes to bully her, but someone comes to cheat her of the little inheritance left by Zhao Guodong.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Qian with a sneer inwardly, but her face still showed an ignorant look of indifference to the world.
"...You can say that! Anyway, doing business with the concubine will definitely help your family's Qingyun!"
Qian suppressed the wild thoughts in her mind and continued to fool her cheap cousin-in-law.
"Really? Oh, that's really great!"
Gu Qingcheng was like a child, easy to coax and excited.
However, she soon seemed to think of something and said awkwardly, "But my Qingyun said—"
Don't let me listen to what outsiders say.
Qian's eyes flashed with disdain, but her face showed a serious expression, "Cousin, I'm not saying anything, but you're a mother, an elder, why are you always controlled by your son?"
"No! My Qingyun never controlled me! Qingyun and Qingsong were both very filial."
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly waved her hands and tried her best to explain.
Her "hesitation" was actually giving Qian a chance.
If Qian was determined to cheat a widow out of her money, then you really can't blame her for being cruel!
ps: Thank you for the reward from Shucheng Aojiao, thank you for your support, thank you everyone!
