Chapter 24 Are You Ashamed?
Duan Renjie frowned when he heard the words "no more descendants". Just as he was about to say something, he heard Duan Lingling's voice, "Gu Qingshi?"
Duan Lingling saw Gu Qingshi as soon as she came out of the room. As a woman, she was very sensitive and noticed the changes in Gu Qingshi's skin at first sight.
Seeing Gu Qingshi's appearance, Duan Lingling's eyes sank, as if she was back in her childhood, when Bai Zhen had just married with Gu Qingshi.
The beautiful stepmother, with the delicate and graceful Gu Qingshi, made her look like a little maid.
Neighbors joked privately that Duan Lingling standing next to Gu Qingshi was like a maid following a lady in ancient times.
After many years, Duan Lingling experienced that feeling again.
Duan Lingling dressed up specially, wearing a dress and leather shoes bought from a department store. There are very few people in the whole county who can dress like this.
She knew that her skin was not good, so she wiped her face and put on lipstick.
Before going out, she was very satisfied and felt that she was very beautiful, but when she saw Gu Qing, her self-confidence and her careful dressing became a joke.
No matter how she dressed up, she could not compare to Gu Qingshi who did nothing. He was clearly only wearing the ugliest floral shirt that she had long disliked, and a pair of cloth shoes, but he still looked better than her.
Standing next to Gu Qingshi, she turned back into a little maid!
Duan Lingling's face was extremely ugly. She walked over and asked, "Aren't you black? How did you come back white? What tricks did you use?!"
The closer they got, the clearer Duan Lingling could see. Gu Qingshi had really become whiter, so white that he seemed to be glowing, and she felt that he was becoming more and more dazzling.
Duan Lingling's eyes flashed with jealousy and murderous intent, as well as a hint of fear.
When Qin Zeming saw Gu Qingshi like this, he would definitely be dazzled and might really marry her.
For a moment, Duan Lingling wished she could just rush forward and scratch Gu Qingshi's face to ruin it.
"I'm naturally this fair. I'm not born black like you. Why do I need to use any tricks?" Gu Qingshi was too lazy to pay attention to Duan Lingling. He turned around and went back to his room.
"Stop!" Duan Lingling grabbed Gu Qingshi and ordered, "Gu Qingshi, you fight back, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Her gaze turned towards the kitchen, and crazy ideas flashed through her mind, such as carving with a knife and scalding Gu Qingshi's face with boiling water. She absolutely would not allow Gu Qingshi to appear in front of Qin Zeming like this.
Gu Qingshi looked at the twinkling light in Duan Lingling's eyes and snorted, "How do you want to be rude?"
Duan Lingling couldn't stand her being white, so she wanted to be whiter and keep being whiter!
"You asked for this!" Duan Lingling's eyes flashed with madness, and she was about to grab Gu Qingshi's face, but her hand was grabbed and twisted the next second.
"Ahhhh let me go!"
Duan Lingling's face was twisted with pain. Seeing Duan Renjie, she hurriedly asked him for help, "Brother, help me!"
There was no response after he shouted. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Duan Renjie was looking at Gu Qingshi with lust in his eyes and didn't notice him at all.
Duan Lingling was so angry that she yelled, "Brother! Help me quickly!"
Duan Renjie reacted but didn't step forward, "What do you want to help? Stop bullying Qingshi all the time."
It would be better if Gu Qingshi was white, because white looks better.
Duan Lingling couldn't help but curse, "Pervert!" Duan Renjie was like this when Gu Qingshi was pretty.
Bai Zhen is away, Duan Renjie is fascinated by Gu Qingshi, and Duan Lingling's plan to disfigure herself is forced to stop.
She was angry and anxious. She didn't care about anything else and hurried to find Qin Zeming. She had to take Qin Zeming down as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
As long as Qin Zeming married her, she would have plenty of ways to deal with Gu Qingshi.
The next day, Gu Qingshi got up before dawn as usual to prepare to set up the stall.
Duan Renjie waited until the sun came out before waking up. When he woke up, he felt his pants were wet. Duan Renjie changed them while cursing.
He had a dream last night. In the dream, he got Gu Qingshi. He felt great in the dream, but it was nothing like reality.
Duan Renjie couldn't wait to find Gu Qing, wanting to take advantage of her first.
"Mom, where is Gu Qingshi?"
Bai Zhen was very surprised. She didn't know why Duan Renjie suddenly looked for Qingshi. Her first reaction was that Gu Qingshi had offended Duan Renjie again.
"No, I have something to do with her."
Duan Renjie seemed very easy to talk to. "She is your daughter after all. It's not good for our relationship to be too awkward. Lingling didn't allow her to eat or drink before, which was really a bit too much. I just want to ease the relationship."
Bai Zhen was very touched when she heard him say this, and hesitantly told Duan Renjie about Gu Qingshi washing dishes.
Duan Renjie slapped his head suddenly, "Yes, they told me before, but I forgot. I will go find her now."
After washing and dressing up, Duan Renjie went there in a respectful manner, but Gu Qingshi was not there to wash dishes in the restaurant.
"Where did she go then?"
"We don't know where she went. Young man, who are you to Gu Qingshi? Can you help me find her? We want to buy vegetables from her. We're willing to pay twice the market price!" Lao Liang seized the opportunity to ask.
When Duan Renjie heard the price was twice as expensive, his eyes lit up. Although he didn't know what vegetables Gu Qingshi was selling, he was happy to hear the money.
"I'm her brother." Duan Renjie straightened his back.
"You are her brother, great! Can you take us to find her?"
"Okay." Duan Renjie agreed.
Seeing that he had finally found the person, Lao Liang didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed him home, not even leaving the restaurant.
Of course, there is nothing to worry about. There are no customers in the store now.
When Lao Liang followed them to Duan's house, he found that Gu Qingshi was not there, and it seemed that Gu Qingshi did not have a good relationship with them.
But Lao Liang couldn't care less. He knew that Gu Qingshi would always come back, so he just waited patiently. He said all the nice things to Bai Zhen and was very polite to Duan Renjie, offering him cigarettes and greeting him.
Bai Zhen felt bad for being so polite and still waiting, so he said he would go look for her.
Anyway, Gu Qingshi was probably in the county town, and she also had to buy some meat and vegetables to entertain the guests.
Bai Zhen went to the vegetable market and actually found Gu Qingshi.
Gu Qingshi and Bai Yang's stall was doing very good business. There was a long queue at mealtime. Bai Zhen passed by and took a few more curious glances, then her attention was attracted by what the people in the queue were saying.
"We met yesterday, do you remember? You came to buy it today too."
"Yes, the baby keeps clamoring for food."
"I don't know how the boss made it, but the porridge is so delicious. My husband said his body aches were relieved after eating it, so I want to buy him some more."
"Hey, your man said the same thing, and so did mine. He said that after eating, he slept well and felt much more relaxed."
Bai Zhen listened to their conversation and became curious.
Duan Gang works in a brick factory in the county. His salary and benefits are decent and everyone thinks it's a good job, but it's also very hard work. He tells her that he feels sore all over every day.
When Bai Zhen got to the front of the line, she saw Gu Qingshi. At first she thought she might have seen it wrong, but when she looked at Bai Yang next to him, there was nothing she didn't understand.
"Gu Qingshi, you actually set up a stall here!" Bai Zhen immediately got angry.
She didn't care about buying any porridge, and went up to pull Gu Qingshi to leave, "Aren't you ashamed to set up a stall here!"
