Seeing Gu Tiezhu, Xiaocao cried out with tears in her eyes, "Uncle Tiezhu, please call the village barefoot doctor! Our teacher said that fainted patients cannot be moved casually."
"Okay, okay." Gu Tiezhu responded and rushed out the door. The sight of Aunt Gu with her eyes closed and no sound made Gu Tiezhu feel uneasy.
Zheng Qiulian and Zhao Hongsheng heard the noise outside and rushed out of the room.
With a loud slap, Zhao Hongsheng slapped Zheng Qiulian. Over the years, with so many children and high expenses, Zhao Hongsheng and Zheng Qiulian worked tirelessly, but could only barely put food on the table. Zheng Qiulian, in particular, had to deal with household chores after finishing work in the fields. Although Aunt Gu handled most of the housework, she still needed to wash Zhao Hongsheng and his wife's clothes.
Zhao Hongsheng had always seen Zheng Qiulian's hard work. He knew he was incompetent and had made Zheng Qiulian suffer along with him. Because of this, after Aunt Gu and Zhao the bamboo craftsman were no longer able to work, Zheng Qiulian sometimes worked too hard and got angry at home. Zhao Hongsheng also understood her difficulties and did not discipline her much.
But today, Zheng Qiulian's blunt and harsh words had infuriated Aunt Gu to the point of fainting, and Zhao Hongsheng's eyes were red with anxiety. If anything happened to Aunt Gu, they would be ridiculed by the villagers! And the second son and his wife would definitely not let them off.
"Hongsheng, I... I didn't mean it." Zheng Qiulian was stunned by Aunt Gu's fainting. She had no ill intentions towards Aunt Gu, but life was too difficult for her, so she was looking for an outlet to vent her anger. Complaining about her mother-in-law was just a habit.
"Mom, hurry up and get a quilt for our grandma to use under her. The ground is cold." Xiaocao's face was covered with tears, but she had to speak out and tell Zheng Qiulian to do things. After all, Zheng Qiulian was her mother. Zheng Qiulian's mistakes should be corrected quickly.
The barefoot doctor came quickly, and after a flurry of activity, Aunt Gu finally woke up. Aunt Gu was in a very bad mood. She did not scold Zhao Hongsheng and his wife, but just kept crying.
All the mistakes were their fault as parents. They didn't earn more money to support themselves when they were young, nor did they find a good wife for their eldest son.
Gutiezhu felt bad, so he went to find his cousin Zhao Hongsheng behind his back and handed him a stack of money without saying a word.
"Tiezhu, what are you doing?" Zhao Hongsheng was shocked. Gu Tiezhu's stack of money was thick and looked like it was worth at least three thousand.
"Cousin, take this little money and buy some old hens for our aunt to nourish her body." Gutiezhu stuffed the money into Zhao Hongsheng's hand and turned back to the west wing. Gutiezhu felt very guilty. If he hadn't cared about his face, his aunt wouldn't have fainted from anger at his cousin's wife.
Zhao Hongsheng was holding a stack of money in his hand, and he was completely confused.
In his forties, Zhao Hongsheng had never seen such a large sum of money. Zhao Hongsheng and his wife had toiled in the fields for years, but apart from the expenses of their entire family, they had never touched a thousand yuan. Seeing such a large sum of money suddenly appear in his hands, Zhao Hongsheng's hands trembled.
So much money? It must be around three or four thousand, right? He just threw it out so casually. Did Tiezhu make a fortune out there?
Zhao Hongsheng swallowed hard and tried to speak, but his throat felt dry. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his mouth.
However, Zhao Hongsheng was only stunned for half a minute. Half a minute later, Zhao Hongsheng chased Gu Tiezhu into the west wing, stuffed the money into Gu Tiezhu's hand, and said, "Tiezhu, when you make money, let Aunt Cao find you a husband, and live a good life."
Aunt Cao is a matchmaker in Zhaojiagou. She specializes in matchmaking for young men and young women of marriageable age. Widowers like Gutiezhu are also within Aunt Cao's scope of business.
Gutiezhu's wife Wang Biyun died a long time ago. No one had tried to find a matchmaker for Gutiezhu before because his family was too poor. But now it's different. If Aunt Cao knew Gutiezhu was rich, wouldn't she run away so fast that her shoes would fall off?
After Zhao Hongsheng stuffed the money into Gutiezhu's pocket, he turned around and ran out the door quickly without waiting for Gutiezhu to react.
Gu Hongxing looked at Gu Tiezhu with a troubled look on his face, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Gutiezhu didn't know what his son was thinking of him. Seeing that Zhao Hongsheng looked like he was afraid of being chased by him, he could only sigh and put the money back into the clothes under the pillow.
Wen Yiran's house, twelve o'clock at night.
After the whole family fell asleep, Wen Ziyun quietly opened Wen Ziqing's door as usual and walked towards the bed as if he knew the way.
On New Year's Eve, Wen Ziyun slept in Wen Ziqing's room. After having sex with that woman, he gradually fell in love with the ecstasy. After each time, Wen Ziyun thought there would be no next time. But the next night, as soon as the night came, Wen Ziyun was obsessed with thinking about that feeling. After everyone in the family fell asleep, Wen Ziyun's feet could not help but run to Wen Ziqing's room.
Strangely enough, except for the first day when she entered the room a little later than Wen Ziyun, the woman had been lying in bed early every day waiting for Wen Ziyun to arrive. The woman's body was as passionate as fire. Counting the previous times, this was the fourth time Wen Ziyun had intimate contact with this woman.
After another round of fiery entanglement, Wen Ziyun and the woman finally separated. Wen Ziyun touched the woman's face and imagined what she looked like.
"Haha...Is it fun to deceive me?" Before Wen Ziyun could react, the woman turned on the bedside lamp.
The sudden brightness made Wen Ziyun stretch out a hand to block his eyes.
"Huh! It's you, after all." He Jingjing looked at the guilty-looking Wen Ziyun in front of her with a sneer on her face. Although they were brothers, they had nothing in common. She, He Jingjing, had actually lost her virginity to such a young boy.
During the day, He Jingjing heard what Wen Yiran and his wife said. She knew Wen Ziqing hadn't been home for days, and she suspected that the person who had been pretending to be Wen Ziqing and entering her room these past few nights must be Wen Ziyun. But He Jingjing still held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping that the person she'd been with these past few nights was actually Wen Ziqing.
Now, the truth is in front of her, what should she do? After having an intimate relationship with Wen Ziqing's brother, are she and Wen Ziqing destined to be together again in this life?
"So what if it was me? You were the one who climbed into my bed that night." Wen Ziyun was young and energetic after all. When He Jingjing questioned him like this, his pride was aroused and he spoke without any scruples.
"This is your brother's room. Who in the Yushan Sect doesn't know that I'm your brother's fiancée?" He Jingjing's face flushed red with anger at Wen Ziyun's words. Wen Ziyun was quite the talker. He was trying to put all the blame on her with just one sentence? Ugh! It all depended on her consent.
