“Wen’er…” Shen Ningsi was slightly stunned.
She felt that Gu Xiuwen was a little adult, a child whose previous personality had forced him to shoulder the burden of the family at a young age. Gu Xiuwen was always careful with his words, never offending anyone with his words.
Shen Ningsi forced a smile, "General Gu can convince the Gu family army so much, how could he be an irresponsible person? Is Wen'er joking with General Gu?"
She took a look at Gu Hong's expression and her heart sank.
"Wen'er, you can't make such jokes just because you have a good relationship with General Gu."
Shen Ningsi winked at Gu Xiuwen while speaking, hoping that the young man could understand his painstaking efforts.
"Mom, I'm sure the general knows whether I'm joking or not." Gu Xiuwen remained calm.
Gu Hong couldn't even pretend to be stupid anymore. He curled his lips and said, "Why? Tell me why I'm not taking responsibility?"
San Yazi also hurried out to smooth things over, "Brother Wen, the general is the best man in the eyes of our Gu family army. Most people on the battlefield don't have time to take care of themselves, but as long as they are close to the general, he will do his utmost to protect them. This couldn't be more responsible."
"So?" Gu Xiuwen said coldly, "He protected the soldiers, and then what?"
Gu Hong was suddenly stunned.
Gu Xiuwen didn't even look at him and pulled his brother over, "Mom, Wu'er and I will go see if the Wang family has prepared the gold and silver."
He left after he finished speaking, and Shen Ningsi, who stayed where he was, glanced at Gu Hong and said, "I hope the general won't mind it."
She thought that with Gu Hong's temper, he would most likely rush forward to teach Wen'er a lesson, but unexpectedly, Gu Hong just whispered: "He's right, I just protected the soldiers."
Gu Hong rubbed his face vigorously. "San Yazi, you stay and protect the Gu family. I'm going to check on those two brats. The Wang family must be dying to have their skins peeled off. How dare they go and get information alone!"
Gu Hong's mood recovered so quickly that Shen Ningsi couldn't help but start to doubt whether the loss and guilt he had just seen was real.
Shen Ningsi could only bow and salute, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Gu."
After watching Gu Hong leave, Shen Ningsi continued to explain to the villagers how to deal with the various conditions of potato seedlings based on the few remaining seedlings in the jar.
After learning about the potato yield and tasting its deliciousness, how could the villagers not listen attentively? They grabbed Shen Ningsi and asked for details until the sun was about to set. Someone slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! Didn't Zhang Qianrou just say that if the potatoes were not poisonous, she would lose face and let Madam Gu step on her!"
Everyone’s doubts were resolved, and they naturally began to think of ways to repay Shen Ningsi.
"Madam Gu, please don't blame me for being too talkative. This Zhang Qianrou has set her sights on you. People like her should be dealt with thoroughly so that she won't dare to slander you again!"
Wanning Village is so small that anything that happens will be known to everyone within three days. The story of how Gu Hong was flirted with by Zhang Qianrou and ended up marrying Shen Ningsi is still a hot topic among people!
"Zhang Qianrou's face is worthless, but Madam Gu, you have to teach her a lesson!"
Of course, Shen Ningsi would not swallow her anger, but it was definitely not because Zhang Qianrou wanted to snatch Gu Hong from her in the past.
She planned to explain to the villagers that Zhang Qianrou was living under someone else's roof, which forced the Wang family to hand over their money, and that she was destined to not be able to stay in the Wang family in the future.
This is already a huge bitter fruit for Zhang Qianrou.
Just as she was about to speak, she felt a sudden pain on the tip of her toe. Someone had stepped on her foot viciously.
"I've already thought about these things, do I need you to tell me?"
Shen Ningsi looked up and saw a burly man with thick lips and a full beard. The man, who had been laughing with his hands on his hips, immediately put down his hands when he met Shen Ningsi's eyes.
"Madam Gu, we used to respect the Wang family because we might have to buy water from them again. Now that we know they've cheated us, we want to skin them alive! Zhang Qianrou has offended you again, and she should apologize no matter what!"
Shen Ningsi looked at Zhang Qianrou who was thrown in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Zhang, if you listened to me and went back to the Wang family to ask someone to prepare money, wouldn't this trouble be avoided?"
Shopkeeper Wang didn't know where he had gone, but Zhang Qianrou was still here. This only meant that the woman hadn't gone far and was probably still hiding in the Wang's shop!
Shen Ningsi smiled and said, "Are you afraid to go back? Because the Wang family's mask has been exposed by you?"
“Chen Ningsi, don’t cry thief! Who knows if you have colluded with these villagers to discredit our Wang family!”
"Still trying to confuse right and wrong?" Shen Ningsi really found it amusing. "Do I have the ability to get all these hundreds of villagers to stand on my side?"
“Miss Zhang, if you are wrong, you must admit it. If you lose, you must obey.” Shen Ningsi smiled, “I don’t want to step on your face. Just kneel down as you arranged.”
At first, Zhang Qianrou said that if the water she gave was problematic, she would have to kneel down for three days and three nights to apologize. Shen Ningsi only wanted her to kneel down and apologize. Shen Ningsi was not soft-hearted, she knew that for Zhang Qianrou, returning to the Wang family would be the real hardship.
Zhang Qianrou didn't want to kneel. The woman in front of her was the one she had been thinking about, and she didn't want to lose!
But behind her were the eager eyes of the crowd. Thinking of the big man's rude behavior just now, Zhang Qianrou's knees weakened. "I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense. I hope Madam Gu won't take it seriously."
"Get up."
These calm words, like words to send away a beggar, made Zhang Qianrou completely collapse. She hurriedly got up and ran out of the long street.
Zhang Qianrou kept repeating in her heart: Shen Ningsi, I will make you pay the price, I will make you regret humiliating me like this!
What she didn't know was that the opportunity for revenge was indeed coming to her.
When Gu Hong does things, he always relies on his fists. He led the Gu family army and rushed into the Wang family, moving faster than the shopkeeper Wang who tipped off the family.
The Gu family's army had shed blood on the battlefield, so how could ordinary people like the Wang family not be afraid of their full momentum? As the only son in the family, Wang Qiang had been sent away long ago.
He has been looking for Zhang Qianrou all the way, the woman who caused his entire family to be targeted!
"cousin!"
When crossing a hillside, Zhang Qianrou suddenly saw Wang Qiang. This was her cousin who loved her the most. She was a cousin, and the only reason she was respected in the Wang family was because of Wang Qiang's kindness to her.
Zhang Qianrou cried and ran forward, "Cousin, why did you come just now? Rou'er was bullied so badly by that woman Shen Ningsi. You must take charge of Rou'er!"
Zhang Qianrou changed her sinister expression, tears welled up in her eyes, making her look particularly pitiful.
