Chapter 377 Wang Buren’s Threat
As Xu Miaomiao said this, Gu Yuanniang immediately lowered her head and smiled at them. After a while, Xu Miaomiao had prepared everything and invited them to come over for dinner.
Later, Xu Qingshan, who had been waiting in front of the table, saw Xu Miaomiao coming and immediately came over to help.
Xu Miaomiao looked at him and smiled slightly. The scene they were most looking forward to was today, right?
"Let's celebrate with this glass of wine. After returning to Bai County, no matter how hard or rough life is, as long as our family is together, it will be the best. We will definitely have an extremely bright future."
Xu Miaomiao hadn't finished speaking yet, so she nodded with red eyes: "Okay, of course we will have a better and brighter future. Besides, the children in our family are not worse than those in other families. In the future, we still have to run our shop well and make the department store bigger and stronger, so that everyone in the capital will know that we, a few women, can run this shop well."
"When did Weiwei become so ambitious?" Gu Yuanniang teased her and said, "But you are right. If we go to the capital, everyone will look down on people from our small place. When we leave, they will probably beat gongs and drums to celebrate. But I don't believe in evil. We will definitely have a better and brighter future than them."
As soon as the three women finished their words, they drank the wine in front of them. Erbao, who was standing beside them, looked at Xu Miaomiao curiously and said in a coquettish voice, "Mom, is it delicious? I want to try it, too."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she smiled at Erbao and shook her head at her: "You are still a child. You can't wait until you grow up. Mother will definitely have a good hangover with you."
When Erbao heard this, he nodded. Xu Miaomiao said this not to coax the child. In the future, Erbao and Xiaobao would definitely drink with others when they went out. She would drink with them once so that they would know the limit in their hearts. In this way, they would have a clear idea in their hearts when drinking with others in the future, and would not get drunk in front of others. She would feel more at ease.
"Okay, Liu Niang, have you forgotten that you still have a baby in your belly? How can you drink too much?" Xu Qingshan, who was standing aside, looked at Gu Yuanniang, who wanted to drink another glass, and quickly stopped her.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang sighed and shook her head: "After I got married, there are more and more rules. Now, even drinking alcohol requires me to be controlled."
Although there was a bit of complaint in her tone, Xu Miaomiao clearly felt Gu Yuanniang's happy eyes. She smiled at her and shook her head helplessly.
As soon as everyone finished their meal, Song Wushao and Xu Qingshan returned to the house. It was unknown what they were discussing. Gu Yuanniang was about to wash the dishes when she was immediately held back by Song Weiwei. Seeing her, Song Weiwei said seriously, "You are a mother now, how can you touch cold water? Let me do all these things. You just need to sit there and take care of the baby in your belly."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she smiled at Song Weiwei and didn't say anything.
"Okay, Liu Niang, Wei Wei is right. Now that you are pregnant, you should stop working so hard. Don't let him do these things. I have to go out today, and I won't be at home either. Take care of yourself." Xu Miaomiao gave the two of them some instructions and immediately left.
She always wanted to ask the village chief about the villagers' attitude towards them during the day. As soon as she knocked on the door, she saw the village chief's eyes narrowed when he saw Xu Miaomiao.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao was still a little confused and said, "Village Chief Wang, what happened? Why are you all more vicious than us?"
The man sighed helplessly and shook his head. The village chief immediately made way for him and Xu Miaomiao walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw Wang Mang lying on the bed.
Ever since Wang Mang became lame, he has been staying at home, doing no work. Village chief Wang has to take care of him in everything. The village chief, who used to be quite young, is now gray-haired and haggard.
Xu Miaomiao just sighed when he saw it. Every family has its own problems, and he really couldn't help too much. What about Village Chief Wang?
When Village Chief Wang saw Xu Miaomiao, he made a "Puh" sound and immediately frowned. He said to Xu Miaomiao, "What are you doing here, you calamity star? You were clearly the calamity star at that time. They said they wanted to burn you to death, and they even had to falsely blame it on my sister Wang Xing'er. You are working as an official in the capital, so why were you demoted?"
"That's enough. Stop talking."
When Village Chief Wang heard this, he immediately scolded Wang Mang and signaled him to shut up.
Wang Mang heard the scolding from Village Chief Wang and glared at Xu Miaomiao with some dissatisfaction. There were many emotions mixed in his eyes, including disgust, hatred, and a little dissatisfaction. But because of Village Chief Wang, Wang Mang remained silent. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao did not say much.
Village Chief Wang immediately bowed to Xu Miaomiao, and then slowly said, "Madam Xu, don't blame the villagers for this matter. In fact, everyone has their own difficulties. Everyone naturally knows your character. It was you who led us in Bai County to plant cotton fields and pear trees, which made our lives better and we no longer have to rely on dangerous hunting for a living. But now your family has been demoted by the government, and we also heard that you participated in a rebellion, so everyone is really scared and dare not have much contact with your family. This is why we have kept a distance from your family. Don't worry about it."
Xu Miaomiao nodded when she heard this. She thought something had happened to make everyone become like this. So that was the case. But even so, Xu Miaomiao did not blame them. It was indeed the case. They had offended Ducheng Zhirong this time and were driven back. Naturally, they had no face to stay here any longer, but it had nothing to do with them now. They just hoped that they could get along peacefully and live their own lives.
After the village chief finished speaking, he immediately shook his head at Xu Miaomiao, looked at her and said, "Madam Xu, our village is a small village with small households. You also know Wang Bu Ren. In the past, because of you and Mr. Song as an official, he didn't dare to do anything to us."
