Aunt Li had obviously thought of something, and her face was not so good. She spat, "That old Mrs. Yu, she worked in the city when she was young, but now it's a new era, and she still waits on the whole family like a landlord's wife. She doesn't even treat children as human beings."
Aunt Li was closer and saw the clearest, even worse than the dog Lu Changqing had seen when he was a child.
He was often tied up and fed only cold leftovers. Even if he got sick or had a fever, he had to endure it on his own.
She went to the brigade several times, but was fooled every time by Old Lady Lu, who told her that the child should be raised cheaply.
These people couldn't do anything to her. Every time she complained, the Lu family would abuse Lu Changqing even more severely, and Aunt Li didn't dare to step forward.
As the young man grew up, many girls, young and old, liked him, but Old Lady Lu kept holding back, waiting for the girls to throw themselves at her.
Those who are looking for a date are either widows or divorced women with children. Isn't this an insult to Lu Changqing?
Gu Qingning was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Si now has a wife. Her family is well off and she even has a bicycle. His life is getting better and better.
The aunts who had watched him grow up were finally relieved.
Zhang Qingxia was also beaming. "Yes, the good days have finally arrived. Lu Si is obviously a blessed man, and this little Gu Zhiqing is a lucky charm for his husband. Oh, and I heard you're making clothes for little Gu Zhiqing. How are they doing?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Qingxia felt a little embarrassed.
Aunt Li knew exactly what she was up to. "Xiao Gu said we'll settle the bill in a few days. I won't say how much, but it'll be enough to help with the family expenses."
Zhang Qingxia pulled Aunt Li and said affectionately, "Old sister, you know I'm not very good at talking. You should find some time to talk to Xiao Gu and let my daughter try. She just graduated from junior high school and didn't pass the exam, so she can't get a job in the county."
Speaking of this, Zhang Qingxia was very worried. She planned to let her learn some skills so that she could find a good husband in two years and have the ability to settle down.
Aunt Li didn't refuse. "My dear sister, I'll pass on the message to you, but it depends on Xiao Gu. You know Xiao Gu is straightforward. If it's really not suitable, you can only wait and see. Don't have any ideas."
Zhang Qingxia grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her. "What do you think of me? How could I, Zhang Qingxia, do such a thing? Just ask me."
Can you earn a little money to supplement your family income in the countryside? Isn't it better than working in the fields?
Those who were hesitant before were still watching and waiting, thinking that their skills were good, waiting for Gu Qingning to come to their door in person and act as if asking for help.
Aunt Li was relieved now. She cracked some melon seeds and said, "Well, let's make it like this. I'll tell you."
The two walked forward while talking. Yang Songhua, who was standing by the field, obviously heard them. "Bah! Making money! The house was burned down and all the clothes are gone? This money-loser might even lose his job. How can I give you money? What are you dreaming of?"
Many people agreed with this statement. Gu Qingning was not reliable at first glance. He had been working for a long time but had not seen a penny. He was just refusing to pay. He probably didn't want to pay anymore. These idiots were still dreaming.
These people are gloating and waiting to see the show.
Some of the people who were helping Gu Qingning with the work disagreed, pointing at Yang Songhua and cursing, "Bullshit! You want to go but you can't. Don't think I don't know that you privately consulted the team leader, but Gu Zhiqing didn't want you. And you're just talking nonsense here. You're slandering others. Be careful, or Gu Zhiqing will send you to jail."
"Oh, Yang Songhua, you've eaten shit. You're talking so rudely. We know what kind of person little Gu Zhiqing is better than you do. Do you think everyone's brains are attached to you? Just because you spew shit from your mouth, everyone has to listen to you. Who do you think you are?"
"Why does Gu Zhiqing need your advice on what to do? You're such a weakling that you can't even take care of your own family affairs. Bah, you gossip."
After spending these days together, don’t these people know what kind of person Gu Qingning is? She is not the stingy type.
Yang Songhua, this old guy, just likes to talk nonsense.
Yang Songhua was scolded by a group of people. She lost all her arrogance and kept muttering, "I'm telling the truth. I haven't seen a penny. Isn't this a waste of work? I think..."
"Shut up right there." After saying that, one of the aunts took the cow dung next to her and threw it into Yang Songhua's mouth.
"Hahaha, this time you're really going to eat shit, you old bastard. Who told you to talk dirty? If I hear you say that again, I'll smash your mouth."
A group of people were filled with righteous indignation. Yang Songhua was scared and felt disdainful in her heart. What a bunch of fools, just wait, you will cry one day.
That little bitch is a spendthrift and can't come up with any money at all. Let them make a fuss when the time comes.
………
When the two of them arrived in the county town, Lu Changqing took Gu Qingning to a state-owned restaurant and had a good meal first.
I ordered two dishes and a soup: roast chicken with potatoes, spicy diced pork, tomato and egg soup, and steamed buns made with white flour. It cost me three yuan and two kilograms of grain coupons and one kilogram of meat coupons.
Those who come here to eat all have some money, and the two people attracted attention from the moment they came in.
Lu Changqing found a seat for Gu Qingning and went to queue up to serve the dishes.
Following behind him was a girl in a blouse, with a long, shiny braid and a red headband. Her pretty face flushed red as she stared at Lu Changqing shyly.
Lu Changqing looked straight ahead and couldn't see anything at all.
The girl next to her nudged her and whispered, "This guy is so handsome! Are there any country guys like him? Meng Xue, go ask him quickly. You must be bold in pursuing your love."
The girl was a little scared. After all, there were so many people around. “Will this be bad?”
Li Qing's dark face was full of encouragement, "How can you know if you don't ask, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Changqing.
The two girls raised their heads and looked at Lu Changqing happily.
"Please move aside, you are blocking my way, my partner is waiting for me."
Meng Xue's face darkened and she reflexively stepped aside.
Li Qing looked over and was a little dissatisfied when he saw Gu Qingning's face and clothes. "Is he here to eat? Or to slack off? He's dressed so fancy, is he some capitalist scum?"
What is important now is to overthrow capitalism. Everyone is naturally jealous of the rich. For a moment, everyone stared at Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning raised her eyebrows and looked over. She saw the dark and sharp-tongued guy staring at her, while the man next to him shyly glanced at Lu Changqing. What else was there to not understand?
Lu Changqing's face turned cold. "Comrade, don't talk nonsense without evidence. You will be held legally responsible."
Li Qing is like a pig that is not afraid of boiling water. She has harmed many people with this method and gained a lot of benefits.
Gu Qingning is dressed well, there must be something fishy going on.
