Chapter 11: It's Useless to Please



Gu Qingning felt better the next day. She opened the space and looked at the gold coins inside. There were only a few left.

No, she can't just live off her savings.

I thought since I have some free time during the farming season, I might as well go to the mountains to see if there are any good things there.

As for the original owner's family, she remembered that she gave the job to her stepmother's daughter, and her stepmother promised to give her fifteen yuan a month.

It's been two years and I haven't seen a penny.

The original owner was too embarrassed to ask for it, but she wouldn't do that.

The original owner's mother died early, and her father spoiled her since she was a child. It was impossible for him to not provide her with supplies for several months and let his daughter fend for herself.

So, the supplies were intercepted.

Her stepmother is becoming more and more dishonest, and she needs to be tightened up a bit.

Gu Qingning tidied herself up and wrapped herself in a loose military coat, making her look even smaller.

After applying frostbite medicine on my hands, I prepared to go out with my basket and sickle.

Gu Qingning has been intolerant to cold since childhood, let alone the weather in Northeast China. As soon as she went out, she was hit by a face full of cold air.

With her whole face buried in the collar of her coat, Gu Qingning missed her warm clothes.

The other educated youth had already gotten up to clean, and when they saw Gu Qingning, they chose to ignore her.

Li Huan finished drying his clothes and took the initiative to greet him, "Gu Zhiqing, where are you going?"

Gu Qingning glanced at her and shivered with cold. "It's too cold. We're out of firewood. I'm going to go get some. Do you want to go?"

The other educated youth shared firewood, and after this winter, it was almost all used up.

The farming season will be busy in a few days, so we won’t have time to spare. We all plan to go up the mountain to pick some.

After packing up, everyone went together.

Wang Ermei and Lin Xier walked behind, neither daring to talk to Gu Qingning. Seeing Gu Qingning and Li Huan chatting and laughing, they snorted coldly, "You flatterer! Aren't you just taking advantage of Gu Qingning's family background and her father being the factory director?"

Lin Xier bit her lip, feeling very unwilling, because that position used to be hers.

Now that Gu Qingning ignored her, she didn't dare to humiliate herself again.

Lin Xier sighed helplessly, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told her the news about Comrade Lu that day, causing her to fall into the water for no reason."

Wang Ermei was even more disdainful. "She likes to flirt with men and ended up getting herself into trouble. It's really shameful. She's simply taking her anger out on others. However, her family hasn't sent anything over for months. Maybe..."

Speaking of this, both of them felt a little gloating. Before, because of the supplies, Gu Qingning often hired people to do work.

Now that she has no money, she can only go to the fields herself. By then, this delicate young lady will be exhausted to death.

Lin Xier thought there was no profit to be gained from Gu Qingning, and she didn't plan to continue trying to please her.

Anyway, in the past two years, through her mouth, Gu Qingning's reputation as a lazy and gluttonous person has become known to everyone.

Now that the two have fallen out, it remains to be seen how Qingning will survive in the village in the future.

However, smelling the foul smell on Wang Ermei, Lin Xier walked away calmly.

Li Huan looked at the calm and composed Gu Qingning and was really confused.

Among these educated youth, she had the best chance of returning to the city. As long as her family was doing well, she would not have to stay in the cold and backward countryside.

Now, she just got married.

It’s not that country guys are bad, but the gap between the two is too big. No matter what Gu Qingning does, he graduated from high school, but Lu Changqing has never even been to school.

However, she didn't say it out loud to avoid bad luck.

She finally saw clearly that this person was very stubborn.

When they reached the back mountain, Gu Qingning was about to part ways with them. Li Huan was a little worried, "Gu Zhiqing, you should stay with us. Although there are not many ferocious beasts on this mountain, we can always look after each other if we stay together."

Gu Qingning looked at the people behind Li Huan and realized it would be inconvenient for them to do anything together, so she directly refused. "Thank you for your kindness. I plan to go to the north of the mountain to see if there are any wild vegetables. I haven't had much to eat recently."

The north is close to the mountains, so these people only dare to move around on the periphery.

Seeing that the man was not afraid of death, Li Huan wanted to keep him, but was grabbed by Wang Ermei.

"Li Huan, don't forget, you're living with us. If we can't find firewood today, we won't have anything to eat in a few days. Do you still have time to please Gu Zhiqing? Besides, he might not appreciate it."

Wang Ermei just can't stand seeing Gu Qingning doing well, and she wishes this bitch would die in the mountains.

She could then marry Lu Changqing and take over the three hundred yuan.

Lin Xier also spoke up, feeling very helpless, "Qing Ning is in a bad mood, so it's better not to offend her, lest there be any unpleasantness."

Li Huan broke free from Wang Ermei's shackles and looked at Lin Xier coldly, "What good thing are you? Do you know what's in the forest? She used to support you, you ungrateful thing."

After saying that, Li Huan left angrily, unwilling to be with these people.

Wang Ermei was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Get lost, go feed the wild boars with her."

Lin Xier was secretly worried, but on the surface she was very worried, "Would it be bad to leave her behind?"

Shen Zhaodi didn't care at all. It wasn't their fault. "It has nothing to do with us. It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die with kind words. Let's go and get to work."

Several people walked to the other side.

Lin Xier looked in the direction of Gu Qingning, with a smile on her lips. It would be best to die in the mountains.

Gu Qingning had participated in wilderness survival in modern times, but the deep mountains in the 1970s were full of dangers.

She had no weapons to defend herself and did not dare to take risks, as her life was more important.

I didn’t dare go further in, but the direction I went was more and more deserted.

There are not many wild vegetables now, they are just sprouting.

Gu Qingning was lucky enough to pick up some wood ears and pheasant eggs.

After walking for a while, I didn’t feel cold anymore, but there were beads of sweat on my forehead.

Gu Qingning looked at the ten pheasant eggs in the basket and licked her lips.

The space mall flashed in her mind, and she had paid the rent for it.

Maybe you could sell pheasant eggs, which are a good thing in modern times.

Gu Qingning set the amount and quantity, and the eggs in the basket instantly appeared in the shop.

One pheasant egg costs fifty cents, and ten eggs cost five dollars, which is considered a small profit.

The wild wood ears in the basket were processed in the same way and put on the shelves in the shop.

Gu Qingning instantly became motivated and walked to many places, picking a total of five kilograms of wood ear mushrooms.

I was even lucky enough to pick two wild ginsengs. Judging from their appearance, they were not very old, so I sent them all to the mall.

Finally there was some gain, Gu Qingning was in a good mood.

He picked up some branches and carried them back the same way.

The original body's physical condition was too poor, and she was so tired that she was out of breath after a whole morning.

The other educated youth also returned with a lot of gains.

Seeing the small bundle of firewood in Gu Qingning's hand, everyone laughed at her.

Wang Ermei was completely at odds with Gu Qingning, and said sarcastically, "Oh, this little firewood is probably not enough to cook a whole meal."

After saying that, everyone else laughed too.

"Excuse me, where is Gu Zhiqing's firewood?" Li Laosi walked in carrying a heavy load of firewood, sweating profusely.
