After getting up early the next day, Gu Zhongyi went out to do farm work. Huang Cuicui looked at Xiao Xiao with unkind eyes.
Huang Cuicui stared at her cooking breakfast without blinking:
"I said that Mr. Mi has been so fast recently. Maybe you stole it. After all, you are the kind of person who eats two birds at once!"
Huang Cuicui stared at her as she put the noodles on the table, without even blinking:
"I said that lately my bowl is cleaner than my face. After all, you are the one who eats two birds at once!"
Huang Cuicui stared at her and opened her mouth to swallow the noodle soup:
"I said you have a big mouth. After all, you are the one who eats two birds at once!"
Xiao Xiao got up after finishing the noodle soup, Huang Cuicui glared at her: "You eat two birds, you go wash the dishes!"
Xiao Xiao did not refute.
In fact, she has never listened to Huang Cuicui's words, but today she was right. She ate more and should indeed do more.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao rarely contradicted her, Huang Cuicui felt a lot more comfortable.
She turned around and looked at Gu Huai, who was sitting on the big rock outside and looking into the distance. She was furious: "Don't you want to eat more yourself? Why did you give that girl a movie? It's something to compensate for!"
Gu Huai turned to look at her: "I heard that Xiao Xiao's mother is recovering from her illness recently?"
Huang Cuicui was instantly alert: "Who did you listen to? Her mother is crazy and will never recover! She will never recover!"
If Xiao Xiao's mother is cured of her madness, where will she go to get this wife? If Xiao Xiao's mother takes Xiao Xiao back to her parents' home, wouldn't all her meals over the years be fed to the dogs?
The more Huang Cuicui thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished she could catch Xiao Xiao and give her a beating right now.
Gu Huai felt that there was nothing wrong with Huang Cuicui except for some problems with her brain.
In the original book, Xiao Xiao suffered a lot in the Gu family, and half of the suffering was from Huang Cuicui.
Therefore, among the Gu family, except for the original owner Gu Huai, Huang Cuicui had the worst fate.
After the original owner divorced Xiao Xiao, Huang Cuicui had nothing to do at home, so Huang Cuicui could only work hard to support her son.
The original owner was spoiled and would spend money if he didn't do anything.
Gu Huai felt that apart from their names, this was the only thing they had in common.
In order to satisfy the original owner's consumption, Huang Cuicui went down to the river to touch lotus roots in the winter, went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, fed pigs at night, and raised chickens during the day. Anyway, she did anything that could make money, and she did all the work that could be done.
Huang Cuicui was exhausted to death.
Huang Cuicui is a person who can endure hardships and work hard. Gu Huai needs such talents, so he doesn't mind giving her a little nudge.
"Mom, you are so stupid."
Gu Huai sat on the big rock and looked at Huang Cuicui with sympathy.
Huang Cuicui had never experienced this kind of look from her son. She immediately felt at a loss and panicked: "What did you say?"
"I said Mom, you are too stupid." Gu Huai said, "Whether Xiao Xiao is a member of our family or not, you have the final say with your mouth?"
Huang Cuicui felt that she was indeed a little stupid.
She could understand all the words Gu Huai said, but she didn't understand the combination:
"What did you say? Why did I open my mouth?"
Gu Huai: "Mom, think about it carefully. Xiao Xiao's mother is suffering from madness. Xiao Xiao has nowhere to go but to come to our house. Is she willing to come?"
Of course not, but no one wanted to take her in except her own family.
Gu Huai added: "You worked so hard to raise her, isn't it just for her to contribute to our family?"
Huang Cuicui nodded. Of course, she wanted to find a beautiful and hard-working daughter-in-law.
Gu Huai: "In this case, as long as you treat her a little bit better, she will be reluctant to leave us and willing to work for us?"
Huang Cuicui thinks this is the truth, but there seems to be something wrong: "Should I be nicer to her? No? Am I not nice enough to her? Feed her, give her clothes, what else do you want?"
Gu Huai glanced at Huang Cuicui.
Feed her rice soup and dress her in clothes that even Gu Xiaoliu can't wear. Is this treating her well?
But he didn't expose it: "I know that you are kind-hearted, and of course you are very good to her, but you are always cruel, and it is useless no matter how nice you are to her. As the old saying goes, it is better to say good things than to say good things once, as long as you do ten thousand good things.
If you speak more kindly, maybe Xiao Xiao won't listen if Xiao Xiao's mother wakes up and asks you for a betrothal gift."
Huang Cuicui slapped her thigh, this is so right!
As expected, my son has been smart since he was a child and has already thought about this.
Why didn't she think of that?
If Xiao Xiao's mother is not cured of her madness, that's it. If she is cured, as long as Xiao Xiao kisses them, are we afraid that Xiao Xiao will follow her?
The little girl next door didn’t just elope here, Lao Wang’s family didn’t even give out a penny as a bride price!
Huang Cuicui's calculations became faster and faster, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Gu Huai said was right.
She should really be nicer to Xiao Xiao, so that she would have a chance of winning in the future.
After all, God has the final say whether Xiao Xiao's madness is cured or not, but where Xiao Xiao is, Huang Cuicui has the final say!
Gu Huai looked at Huang Cuicui's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and felt that the latter was almost ready.
He helped Xiao Xiao get rid of the biggest stumbling block in his life, and he had to collect some interest.
Xiao Xiao was chopping firewood when he saw Gu Huai hurriedly wiping his hands and stepped forward: "Agu, what do you want from me?"
Xiao Xiao's fingers holding the ax were covered with calluses, completely different from the delicate hands of Gu Suisui and Gu He he had seen before.
There are cracks everywhere in these hands, and the backs of the hands are covered with old skin.
It doesn't look like a girl's hand, but like an old lady's.
Gu Huai only glanced at her and asked: "Xiao Xiao, I heard that you learned to write from your mother before?"
Xiao Xiao's mother is sometimes crazy and sometimes not crazy. When she is not crazy, she teaches Xiao Xiao how to write.
Unfortunately, due to the ridicule from her husband's family, she became more and more crazy and was sent to a lunatic asylum. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to live in the Gu family.
The heroine can write beautiful handwriting, Gu Huai knew this through the system.
Xiao Xiaoxiao: "I haven't written in a long time."
In fact, she is too modest.
When no one was around, she would often take out a piece of firewood and practice writing on the sand. Now she can write very well.
Although it is not outstanding, it is more than enough for use in this rural area.
Especially when the New Year is approaching.
Gu Huai took a look at Xiao Xiao's advantages and felt that this was an opportunity to at least solve the problem of having no money in his pocket.
"Go buy some red paper, a brush and a bottle of ink."
Xiao Xiao didn't ask Gu Huai what he wanted to do, he just rubbed the corner of his clothes and whispered: "But I have no money..."
She was a little afraid of Gu Huai, because the original owner would kick her to the ground if he was dissatisfied.
Gu Huai remembered that this was an era when he didn't even have money in his pocket to buy paper.
So he asked Xiao Xiao to wait here and went to find Huang Cuicui.
All the money in the family is in her hands.
But Huang Cuicui is famous for being very economical. Let alone money, don’t even think about pulling out a hair on her body!
