Just as Gu Changzheng had guessed, on the third day, the Xu family sent Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan back.
After they brought the children back, they didn't ask for the hundred yuan anymore. They just told the Gu family to keep a close eye on the two children and not to let them go to the Xu family again.
After saying that, the Xu family left.
Their steps were very fast, as if someone was chasing them.
This cannot be blamed on the Xu family; the two Gu brothers have truly shocked them these past few days.
Calling these two gluttons is an understatement. Their eating ability and shamelessness are so great that even the Xu family would have to admit defeat.
With Xu Honglian getting married tomorrow, the Gu family still had no intention of taking the money and bringing her back, so the Xu family had no choice but to send her over themselves.
After delivering it to the Gu family, they turned around and ran away without looking back, as if they had seen a raging flood.
I'm afraid that if I'm slow, they'll try to take advantage of me, and then they won't be able to explain themselves.
Gu Jindan and Gu Baodan stood at their door and found the house empty, but they didn't care and went off to play.
Their parents' divorce and their mother's remarriage were none of their business; all they cared about was having food and things to do. And now, they were starving, so they went to find the old hag for food.
Before they came back, their mother said that since she wouldn't be around anymore, they should ask their brothers to ask He Meizhu for food. She was their grandmother, and she couldn't just stand by and watch them starve to death.
The two brothers took Xu Honglian's words as gospel, and having been hungry all morning, they went to find He Meizhu.
Lu Huaijiao was on her way to the educated youth settlement to find Huang Tingxiu when she saw the two brothers who had run away. She let out a suspicious "uh," feeling that these two brothers would be a big problem in the future.
It's really annoying to raise a child like this!
She gently stroked her belly, which was now three months along. Because of the triplets, her belly looked much larger than that of a typical pregnant woman.
Gu Changzheng went out to work today. Before he left, he prepared the food and kept it warm in the pot for her so she could eat when she woke up.
Then he told her that if she felt bored, she could go visit Huang Tingxiu, and soon she should be able to call Huang Tingxiu "sister-in-law"...
In his dazed state, he kissed her and said he would bring her a gift that night.
Lu Huaijiao didn't know where Gu Changzheng got his information, but she believed his gossip. This man was good for nothing else, but he had the most gossip.
After getting up and eating, she had nothing to do, so she went to the educated youth settlement to find Huang Tingxiu. Bored, she wanted to hear about Huang Tingxiu's love story with Tiezhu.
Lu Huaijiao's enthusiasm for gossiping was just that high.
But then again, now that she doesn't have to work, doesn't have to worry about money, and doesn't have to worry about her husband, what else can she do besides eating melons to keep her in a good mood all day?
You know, her good mood is something money can't buy.
She's now making herself feel better and not bothering Gu Changzheng anymore. Lu Huaijiao thinks she's doing a fantastic job!
As for what Gu Changzheng has been up to lately? He's been acting all mysterious; apparently, he's found buyers for his radio and watch.
We'll work together after it's fixed.
After deducting costs, I should be able to make about three or four thousand yuan. I'll use that money to buy her pretty dresses.
Well, although Lu Huaijiao is not short of money or dresses, she has nothing to say about the man's willingness to work hard to give her a better life.
Reluctantly, I praised him, saying he was really good.
Who knew that this one shout of "fierce" would change the man's expression so much. He pinned her down on the bed, kissing and nibbling at her, almost melting her into his very bones...
Lu Huaijiao found out; this man just couldn't accept being praised...
As she walked towards the educated youth settlement, she encountered some workers on the way. Most of them greeted her kindly, but a small number of them were quite jealous of her.
They were jealous that she didn't work.
They said that other women were still working in the fields when they were about to give birth, while she was spoiled and lazy, staying at home and not working after just getting married and pregnant. They said that Gu Changzheng was really unlucky to have married her.
Of course, these words were not said in front of Lu Huaijiao, nor did they dare to tell her.
Besides being afraid of Gu Changzheng, they were also quite wary of Lu Huaijiao, this "madwoman," so they preferred to avoid trouble. Those who were jealous of Lu Huaijiao could only gossip about her in private.
He Yun happened to be assigned to work with those people today, and when she heard them discussing her husband's cousin and his wife, she looked somewhat displeased.
But unlike Lu Huaijiao, she didn't dare to fight with people easily, so she didn't say anything and continued working with her head down.
As they talked, the group shifted the topic to He Yun.
“Xiangdong’s wife, you mustn’t learn from Gu Laosi’s wife. Take that educated youth Lu, for example. It was Gu Laosi who put up with her. If it were any other man, he would have kicked such a lazy woman away long ago.”
After that, another added, "Who told Gu Laosi to be such a good-for-nothing, idling around all day? And his wife is no different from him!"
"That's really true. But then again, the educated youth are ultimately unreliable, especially since Gu Laosi's wife is so beautiful. He wouldn't even know when she ran back to the city."
"It's not something..."
These people's words were getting increasingly outrageous, and He Yun couldn't bear to listen anymore.
She slammed the hoe into the ground, straightened up, raised her head, and stared at the gossiping people: "They're doing just fine, what's it to you? They don't eat your rice or bread."
They don't need these people to earn work points to support Lu Huaijiao, so why are they making so many fuss?
He Yun couldn't understand!
When the women heard He Yun's words, they were about to retort when they caught a glimpse of Gu Xiangdong walking towards them from the corner of their eyes. They snorted and gave up.
He Yun spoke up without fear of what they would say, but when Gu Xiangdong came over, she still told him that she wanted to find someone else to do the weeding.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xiangdong asked softly.
His gaze swept over the women who were working diligently, but after half a day they hadn't done as much as He Yun alone, and a clear look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He Yun shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel like I don't have much to talk about with them, so I want to switch to other people."
"Okay."
Gu Xiangdong is now the team leader in the village, so it's not unreasonable for him to find his wife a new job.
"Then Xiaoyun, come with me."
As he spoke, he reached for He Yun's hoe and the military water bottle next to him.
He Yun agreed and left with Gu Xiangdong.
After they left, the women stopped what they were doing and spat.
"None of the Gu family's new brides are good."
