"Why?"
"She has moved away, but we still have to drive dozens of miles to the county to work as cattle and horses for her?"
"Do you want to deliver food to her? Firewood? Those things can be sold for money if we go to the city!"
"And the children are not spared! What? Just because you are the wife of a wealthy family, you have to have a little maid to take care of you?"
The people in the Zhao family's old house listened to Patriarch Zhao's arrangement and instinctively resisted.
They did not dare to refuse face to face. When they returned home, the three heads of the house, Zhao Da, Zhao Er and Zhao Si, gathered in the main room and began to complain.
"Mom, I, I want to go to the county to take care of my third aunt!"
The adults were indignant, but the children were happy.
There are seven or eight children in the three houses, and the older one is the Zhao family's eldest daughter.
She is already fourteen years old this year and is about to get married.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao are already looking at each other.
I was thinking of getting engaged to Daya by the end of the year.
He received the bride price so that he could find a wife for his second son.
When the children took turns to work for Gu Qingcheng, Zhao Daya was the most enthusiastic.
After a while, Da Ya got used to doing it at home.
No matter where you work, it doesn't matter.
Uh, no, it’s different!
Working at home is what she should do, but grandma and grandma sometimes find it objectionable.
When working in the third aunt's family, you can always get rewards or delicious food, and you can also get sweet praises from the third aunt.
Secondly, Daya is the oldest after all, and she considers issues more comprehensively.
She found that when she stayed with her third aunt, her speech and behavior became "gentle".
Da Ya also doesn’t understand what true elegance is.
But she just felt that she seemed to become more beautiful.
This is not her illusion, even her younger brothers and sisters praise her.
Now, my aunt has moved to the county again.
The county is so nice. Da Ya feels that if she goes with her aunt, she can’t say whether she can learn any skills, but she will definitely gain insights!
With knowledge, you can become more beautiful, and when talking about marriage, it will be smoother.
Maybe you can find a better family!
When Zhao Daya thought of this, her dark little face couldn't help but blush.
She subconsciously imitated Gu Qingcheng's appearance, standing upright, folding her hands in front of her, and lowering her eyes slightly.
Her appearance was indescribably elegant, but she was different from ordinary village girls!
"Huh?"
Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law is a shrewd peasant woman and usually doesn't pay attention, but today her eldest daughter suddenly stood up and she realized that her daughter had changed!
As the old saying goes, women change in their eighteenth year.
However, even if a wild girl from the countryside grows up, she becomes more capable and more aggressive.
How can a pheasant turn into a phoenix?
But, Zhao's wife just thinks her daughter looks charming.
Not like a village girl who has no knowledge and no rules, but, rather -
Like Gu!
In the past ten years or so, the villagers have always thought that Gu was too weak and useless.
Especially women, when they laugh at her for not looking like a woman, they also secretly envy her.
She is beautiful, spoiled, pampered by her natal family, and pampered by her husband.
She is obviously a butcher's daughter who comes from a rural background, but she doesn't touch the beauty of life.
Her husband died, but she still had a son and "family" to take care of her.
She is obviously a young widow, but her life is better than those around her!
Moreover, Mrs. Gu has become more and more beautiful, and her soft and graceful temperament is not only liked by men but also women.
Zhao's daughter-in-law stared at her eldest daughter, but she was thinking: If her daughter could learn Gu's skills, she would be able to marry into a good family.
Also, people in Zhuangzi said that Mr. Gu had fallen in love with the noble lady in the county.
Now it is time to move to the county.
The county is so nice, prosperous and rich.
If my daughter stays in the county with Gu for a while, she will definitely gain some knowledge.
In fact, it’s not just daughters, but sons too!
Zhao Qingyun has been studying, and I heard that he is going to an academy.
My son followed Zhao Qingyun and saw a lot and heard a lot, so he could definitely learn a few words.
The most important thing is that Mr. Gu is generous.
When the children go to her place, they must take care of their food and accommodation.
If you are celebrating a festival, you may get some reward money or make new clothes!
...The more Mrs. Zhao thought about it, the more excited she became.
"Yes! Daya, follow your aunt to the county!"
"And Erlang, you go too! Your cousin is young, you go and be his companion, take him to and from school, and help him fan and pat his back!"
Zhao's wife said eagerly.
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Zhao Da looked at his wife in bewilderment: Huh? What's wrong with my mother? Doesn't she hate the Gu family the most?
In the past few months, my wife has been scolding her behind her back because she worked for Gu.
At this moment, she, why did she become as if she really regarded Mrs. Gu as her biological cousin and sister-in-law?
If you follow the Gu family, you can have meat to eat. As long as there are benefits, let's talk about biological sisters. She regards the Gu family as her little ancestor, and she is happy with it.
Zhao's second daughter-in-law was slow to respond, but she also realized the benefits of having a good relationship with Mr. Gu!
"That's right. My brothers and sisters are weak and can't do much work. The county is not as good as the countryside, so we should let the children go over and help!"
"My three children can also go! Goudan'er, are you willing?"
Goudan'er is the eldest son of Zhao's second wife, and he is eleven years old this year.
He has already reached the age where he knows how to be good.
Following your aunt and your cousin is definitely better than staying at home!
Goudan'er was originally thinking about how to persuade his parents, but he didn't expect that his mother was so kind that she actually took the initiative to bring it up.
He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes! Mom! I am willing!"
Zhao's fourth wife is not the smartest among the sisters-in-law.
But she sleeps well.
She knows that her sister-in-law is very scheming and scheming, so she always likes to follow her sister-in-law.
Once you come, you won't suffer any loss.
Secondly, if the sister-in-law takes the lead, even if she is scolded, she will be the first to be scolded!
She just needs to hide behind her sister-in-law and share the benefits obediently!
"And these little monkeys in my family are naughty even if they stay at home. They might as well go to the county!"
The women in the Zhao family's old house seem to be smarter.
Although men may not be able to react, they are all people who listen to their wives.
It's not that they are afraid of their wives, but past experience tells them that no matter what their mother-in-law does, it is all for their little family.
Mother-in-law never suffers!
My own little family will only get better and better.
Zhao Dashan and Mrs. Zhao are shallow and selfish.
They hated Zhao Guodong's family from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially after Zhao Guodong's death, as elders, not only were they unable to take advantage of their children and grandchildren, but they suffered hardships again and again.
No matter how embarrassing it is, the whole family has become the long-term employees of Gu's mother and son.
Be a bull and a horse, swallow your anger...
Finally, when the Gu family was about to move out, Patriarch Zhao actually pressured them to "help" the Gu family.
What is hateful is that the daughters-in-law suddenly became "friendly" and actively sent their children to Mrs. Gu one by one!
yes!
Mr. Gu is rich!
Better days in the county!
But, the Gu family's mother and son are the nemesis of their Zhao family's old home.
Zhao’s daughter-in-law has a few shallow-eyed things, but she actually—
However, no matter how angry Zhao Dashan and his wife are, they cannot go against all their daughters-in-law.
When they get old, they will have to rely on their children and grandchildren to support them in their old age.
They don’t dare to offend their daughter-in-law!
Forget it!
If they are willing to let their children work as maids or servants, let them do that!
Huh, if you suffer a loss or get angry, it's not too late to regret it.
Zhao Dashan and his wife were secretly angry, with cold expressions on their faces, as they watched the three daughters-in-law arguing endlessly in order to give their children to the Gu family.
After several rounds of quarrels, finally, Zhao’s wife and the three sisters-in-law reached a consensus——
"One person will appear at the head of each room, regardless of gender, and it will rotate every three months!"
Everyone in Zhao chose Zhao Daya;
Zhao Er and his wife asked their eldest son Goudan to go;
Zhao Si and his wife were young and had the youngest child. They did not have much choice but to let their older son go.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Great! My maid, my son's book boy, and my younger son's lackey are all working together!
…
A carriage stopped in front of the small courtyard on the back street of the academy. Zhao Qingyun got out of the car first as a habit, wanting to help his mother.
Cousin Zhao Daya, with quick eyes and quick hands, arrived in front of the carriage first, "Auntie, please slow down!"
Zhao Qingyun: ...Although I am a little disappointed, after all, there are differences between men and women.
It is indeed more suitable for my cousin to serve my mother than him!
The new home is fully furnished and can be moved in with just simple cleaning.
The house in Zhaojiazhuang is the root of the Gu family and their son, and cannot be abandoned easily.
When moving, Zhao Qingyun did not move everything away.
I only packed some clothes and necessary daily necessities.
He didn’t even touch the big pot at home!
If you still have some money on hand, you can just buy the things you need for your new home.
Therefore, it was very easy for the Gu family and their son to move.
There was no need for Zhao Da and several other strong laborers to be dispatched. Only brother Zhao Qingyun and his cousins helped, and it was successfully completed.
In the small courtyard on the east side, a woman heard the noise and couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and listen.
"Huh? The new tenant next door has moved in?"
The woman was a little curious. She turned to her son and said, "Erlang, look at your sister. I'll go out and take a look!"
"Why!"
A teenage boy agreed.
The woman wiped her hands on her apron and then opened the door to her room.
"You just moved here, right? I am a neighbor on the east side. My husband's surname is Zheng, and he teaches at Baiyun Academy. My maiden name is Wan!"
Wan's appearance is delicate, but her temperament is excellent.
She greeted Gu Qingcheng calmly and generously.
Wan's eyes clearly flashed with surprise and appreciation for this fragile beauty who needed support.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and people basically look at their appearance.
"My surname is Gu, and my husband's surname is Zhao."
Gu Qingcheng was also happy to have a neighbor who seemed very reasonable.
She is a "best person", but she doesn't want to deal with the best people every day.
Huoshui: ...hehe, this family might as well be a bunch of top-notch people.
