Wang snorted, "What's it to me who told me that!"
Zhou Yuzhu sighed heavily. She didn't want to say it, but she said, "Mother! No matter what others say, you can listen to it, but you have to have some discernment. Don't believe everything you hear! Don't you know what kind of people my aunt's family are? My little sprout was taught to grow by my mute mother. Do you think I could come up with this idea with my brain?"
Wang was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving. "Don't try to defend them! Didn't you figure out how to make those bean sprouts yourself? I've been watching them for a long time, and it took me many days to finally succeed!"
Zhou Yuzhu rolled her eyes. "If you teach me, I have to come back and try it myself! How can I truly master it if I don't try? How can it be considered my own if I don't master it?"
Wang thought about it and realized it made sense. Learning a skill requires a lot of practice, and there are many failures in the process, so she believed it only halfway.
"But that's because that mute woman liked you and taught you that way, it doesn't count as a gift to our Zhou family! The Zhou family is the Mo family's maternal family, how can we just accept this little bit of bean sprouts! We should at least give them a popular and profitable business idea! Otherwise, with so many people in our Zhou family, how will we have enough money to live on!"
Zhou Yuzhu was speechless. She felt that her mother had changed. She was not such a petty person before. How come she has become more and more narrow-minded lately!
They learned to be selfish, and even a little bit calculating, and stopped considering others!
Is it like the old woman in the village said, that I've reached the age where I'm prone to getting angry and being unreasonable?
Otherwise, she's been influenced by someone, someone who's been constantly gossiping in her mother's ear, stirring up trouble!
Zhou Yuzhu suddenly thought of someone: Qiu Huiling!
Qiu Huiling has been going to the Zhou family's house every day lately, both in the morning and in the afternoon!
Qiu Huiling came to visit her under the pretense of hanging out, but she would always leave after only a few words. She didn't pay any attention and assumed that Qiu Huiling had really gone back.
Once, when she went to ask her mother for help, she saw Qiu Huiling chatting happily with her mother!
Thinking about it this way, the person Qiu Huiling is looking for is her mother!
Looking for her is just an excuse and a pretext!
Look how happy Qiu Huiling is, she can barely keep her eyes open!
She hadn't paid much attention before; it was normal for farmers to visit each other, and who would notice such things? She never imagined that someone would have ulterior motives when visiting someone else's home.
It must be that Qiu Huiling said something to her mother, and after saying it so much, her mother took it to heart and started going in the direction others wanted!
You must know that Qiu Huiling used to be a young lady from a wealthy family, but her family fell on hard times and she had to work hard to make a living. But she was educated, and her knowledge far surpassed that of these peasants!
That mouth is eloquent, those eyes are perceptive, and that heart is adept at understanding people's thoughts!
Her mother is completely useless; she's no match for her at all!
She knew that Qiu Huiling was not a well-behaved person, and she had asked her to go play with the mute girl many times, but it was Qiu Huiling who wanted to go on her own!
Don't think she's unaware of her wicked intentions!
Seeing that she refused to go, they turned to her mother, but unfortunately, her mother didn't dare to bring outsiders along either!
My aunt made it very clear that her mother also cares about her reputation. She probably told Qiu Huiling the truth, which upset Qiu Huiling, and she started stirring up trouble.
It has to be said, Zhou Yuzhu was right.
She didn't want to anger the Mo family, and she didn't want her mother to make any more mistakes. Knowing that reasoning was useless, she decided to just scold her!
"Mother! Ask yourself honestly, what help have you ever given Auntie? As far back as I can remember, I've never seen you give Auntie anything in return. But every time Auntie comes, she brings something, though it's nothing valuable, it's her way of showing her affection! Don't always use the excuse of your sister-in-law helping her family to demand things from Auntie. You even talked about your uncles! You can't do it yourself, so why do you expect others to do it?"
Even if you're my mother, I still have to say something to you! The Mo family gave me a suggestion, and if you go and cause trouble again, how do you think I'm supposed to face them afterward? In their eyes, I'll definitely be seen as a greedy and insatiable person! If word gets out, will I even be able to live? Do you want your daughter to never get married? You believe everything people say. You used to always tell me that people shouldn't be greedy, but look at you, are you still the understanding mother I used to know?
Zhou Yuzhu spoke non-stop, giving Wang no chance to defend herself, leaving Wang speechless.
Being scolded by her own daughter was a very embarrassing thing. Wang felt ashamed and extremely hot.
She wanted to grab Zhou Yuzhu and yell back to save face, but when she saw her daughter looking up at her fearlessly, she felt like she had her throat choked and couldn't say anything.
In the end, Wang didn't mention going to the Mo family to confront Old Madam Mo again.
Zhou Yuzhu did the right thing this time, stopping Wang Shi from causing trouble.
Su Nanxi hates people like this the most—greedy. If she loses her affection for Zhou Yuzhu, she definitely won't want to help Zhou Yuzhu when she encounters difficulties in the future.
However, some people were unhappy because they no longer had a reason to go to the Mo family.
Qiu Huiling waited for a long time but did not see Wang Shi go out, or even leave the courtyard. She knew that Wang Shi was definitely not going to the Mo family.
He was furious and cursed Wang Shi in his heart, saying she was useless and had no guts to do anything great!
Wang was staying home because Zhou Yuzhu was keeping her occupied. Zhou Yuzhu said she was going to sell the bean sprouts, and she would give half of the proceeds to Wang, but she asked Wang for help, which Wang agreed to.
With money to be made, who cares about anything else!
Isn't money important? Isn't money appealing?
Qiu Huiling couldn't figure out why Wang Shi didn't go to the Mo family. After thinking it over, she decided to go and see for herself.
I did what I said I would do, and actually went. But before leaving, I dressed up and covered my face so that no one would recognize me.
At that moment, everyone else in the Mo family had gone out, leaving only Mo Qinghe at home.
Qiu Huiling watched from the side for a long time, and finally saw Mo Qinghe come out of the house. She was both happy and excited!
She longed to run over immediately, take Mo Qinghe's hand, and tell him about her lovesickness.
Mo Qinghe went out to fetch water to boil and let it cool so that everyone could drink it when they returned.
Suddenly he felt someone staring at him—yes, staring! The gaze was so intense that he couldn't ignore it at all!
He didn't turn around, lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at them, and continued walking without looking back.
Seeing that Mo Qinghe had walked straight away, gone into the house, closed the door, and disappeared from sight, Qiu Huiling became anxious and peeked out from the corner, craning her neck to look ahead.
This view was clearly seen by Mo Qinghe, who was peeking through the crack in the door.
Oh!
Who could it be?
Shameless woman!
The shameless woman stared blankly at the Mo family, recalling Mo Qinghe's graceful walk, and then smiled shyly, as if thinking of something else.
"He should be my husband!"
