Her mother was in dire straits herself, so naturally she couldn't control Su Nianxue.
She no longer had the heart to argue with Su Nianxue, and picked up her basket to leave.
She had to hurry back; if she stayed out too long, that old hag would start nagging again.
In this respect, she envied Su Nianxue.
She has no in-laws to rely on, and her only elder doesn't live with her.
She lives with her sister-in-law, and it seems that the girl listens to her quite well.
Compared to her, she had to admit that her life now seemed... not as good as Su Nianxue's!
Although she was reluctant to admit it.
As she passed by the clothing store, remembering Gu Yanliu's words, she inexplicably glanced into the store a few times.
I was immediately drawn to the clothes on the mannequin.
The clothes in the store are brightly colored and stylish, and when worn by the mannequins, they accentuate the curves of the figures.
She had to admit that these clothes were indeed much better looking than those made in their shop.
Afraid of being seen, she quickly ran away from the entrance of the clothing store.
Sure enough, as soon as she got home, Hu Guizhen was all smiles and displeasure.
"The market is so much fun, why did you come back? Why don't you just stay there?"
"Mom, I just met a girl from the same village and we chatted for a bit," Su Jiaojiao explained softly.
Hu Guizhen waved her hand impatiently, "I'm not interested in your trivial matters."
You'll have to remember this from now on.
You're a married woman, so you should put the men in your family first.
Don't bring your lazy, undisciplined habits from the countryside back with you.
"Okay, Mom!" Su Jiaojiao said obediently, but in her heart she was cursing, "Aren't you from the countryside?"
However, having eaten and drunk the town's food and water for a few more years than her, he forgot his roots.
"Go ahead and cook! Zhiguo and his son have been saying they're hungry for ages."
A hint of resentment flashed in Su Jiaojiao's eyes. This old hag, all he does is act like an old woman all day long.
It's like she doesn't have hands; she has to do everything herself.
Sometimes she wanted to ask her, before she came into the family, how come such a big family didn't starve to death?
"Okay, I'll go right away."
She lowered her voice, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible, lest she lose control and scratch that old face.
"Pay attention when you cook, and be careful with the heat. If you burn it again, I won't let you off the hook!"
Hu Guizhen shook her head. Since she entered the family, they had hardly ever had a decent meal.
Either the rice was burnt, or a pot of undercooked rice was cooked.
If you scold her, she'll look aggrieved and claim she doesn't know how to use a coal stove.
I don't know why I'm so stupid!
In her opinion, if she had used that same cunning and slyness on these kinds of things, she could have learned even the most difficult tasks!
So she had no choice but to patiently teach her twice more.
When Su Nianxue and her three companions passed by the clothing store.
Wu Xiaomei was sitting lazily in a chair against the wall, leisurely cracking a handful of sunflower seeds in her hand.
Upon seeing them, he greeted them, "Are you tired? Come in and sit for a while!"
"No, we have things to do back home!" Su Nianxue didn't want to talk to her any longer and turned to leave.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Wu Xiaomei threw down the melon seeds in her hand and stood up from her chair.
"Don't leave yet, I need to talk to you about something."
Hearing her blunt tone, Su Nianxue frowned. "What is it?"
She ignored Su Nianxue's attitude and instead focused her gaze on Gu Yanliu. "Yanliu, your name is Yanliu, right?"
Gu Yanliu nodded. "You were looking for me?"
"Yes, I'm short-staffed at the store right now."
I think you're quite good-looking and have a great personality. Why don't you come and help out at my shop?
Gu Yanliu quickly waved his hand, "No need!"
How would I know how to sell clothes?
My sister-in-law and I are quite good at making tofu."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Su Nianxue, as if afraid that Su Nianxue would drag her into the shop.
"Hey, how much money can you make selling tofu?"
Besides, it's too tiring for a young girl like you to grind tofu.
Unlike working in a store, which is easy and clean, and you can see new clothes every day.
If you see one you like, you can try it on.
Don't worry, your brother and I have a very good relationship, I will definitely not mistreat you.
She made no attempt to hide her words from Su Nianxue.
In her opinion, Su Nianxue only managed to get Gu Yanbai to marry her because she had a vixen-like face.
Men, you know!
There are a few people who don't like good-looking women, but once the novelty wears off, will they still care about her?
She neither dresses up nor has any fun, and she smells like bean curd. How can she possibly keep a proud man like Gu Yanbai in check?
Judging from the current situation, Gu Yanbai doesn't seem to care much about her.
If a man truly cares about a woman, how could others not notice?
If they really cared, why would they let her dress in such shabby clothes?
They still had to work hard grinding tofu, going out to the market before dawn to earn a pittance.
Others may not know how much money Gu Yanbai has, but those in this circle have a general idea.
He could easily provide Su Nianxue with enough to live comfortably without worrying about food and drink.
She said it was because the man didn't care about her.
Thinking about it this way, she looked at Su Nianxue with even more contempt.
"How about this, I'll pay you eighty yuan a month? You'll work for me!"
