Chapter Fourteen: Slapping the Gossip Woman
Su Xiaomu did not rely on Li's love to shy face to his two sisters-in-law, but took the initiative to take over the work of sweeping the yard after dinner.
Yin told Li that there were gangsters on the street today, Li was worried that the city would be unsafe these two days, so he asked them to take a break at home first.
"I said to the third family, my mother said that you have to have a good rest when you are tired of doing business, so why can't you stay so idle? You insist on competing with your second sister-in-law for work."
Chen Shu comfortably moved a chair and sat under the tree embroidered a veil. There was no conflict between her and Su Xiaomu, but it seemed that life was good, so she couldn't help but say something: "You have to tell your mother that you took the initiative to do it, but it was not your second sister-in-law who sent you."
"I can't stay idle myself, how can I say that my second sister-in-law is helping me? I still want to stay at home and rest tomorrow, and take Ruochuan and Ruochen up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."
Su Xiaomu smiled and looked at the children playing in the yard: "Sister-in-law is really capable and can raise both children so well."
"When it comes to raising children, it's not that your second sister-in-law, Wang Po, who is selling melons and boasting. There is no family in the village who looks better than my two sons. If you have a baby with the third brother in the future, your second sister-in-law can also help you with it. You will definitely bring your nephew with it."
When talking about the three words "Little Nephew", Chen deliberately strengthened his tone.
Su Xiaomu clearly saw that Yin's face changed slightly.
She really didn't know what to say for a while. The fact that Chen had two sons was indeed a pain for Yin's life.
Who told her to give birth to two daughters in a row, and after giving birth to the second girl, her stomach still didn't move?
Silently shrank her neck, indicating that she would not join the battlefield.
After quickly sweeping the floor, Su Xiaomu called Gu Ruotong into her room. She called her to get up early tomorrow, and took several younger brothers and sisters to the mountain before giving her a piece of mung bean cake.
"This is something Aunt San specially left for you, eat it soon."
Su Xiaomu noticed it during her meal today. Gu Ruotong distributed all the mung bean cake that belonged to her to her sister, but she didn't get a bite.
"Thank you, Aunt San."
The little girl took the cake and her eyes turned red all of a sudden.
The next morning, Su Xiaomu took the little guys to the mountain after breakfast.
These days, Gu Ruotong has been taking her younger brothers and sisters up the mountain. In addition to chili, Su Xiaomu also asked her to dig other wild vegetables. This time she came here mainly to see if she could find any other seasonings.
For example, pepper, wild onions, garlic, etc.
While searching, she dug, and told several children what they were mainly looking for.
"I said to Gu's wife, your family is digging wild vegetables all day long, and they have almost dug up all our wild vegetables. Now the villagers want to dig wild vegetables, but they have to run into the mountain."
I don’t know which family’s wife is, but I look at her.
Another woman who looked a little older than Li also said, "Isn't it? Your family digging here and there every day on the mountain, and it seems that there is nothing serious about it. The one you put in your backpack tastes bitter and astringent."
"I don't like what others eat at home, so I secretly dug it back and cook it. Is it not good to pick up the bowl and eat it and put down the bowl to curse my mother?"
Su Xiaomu thought he was a polite and moral person, and he was gentle and gentle in his daily life, but he couldn't say anything sarcastic.
In such a big place, who is it that she is hindering?
"Look at what Gu San's wife said, we are just curious. What do you say your family is digging so many wild vegetables every day to go back? Although our village is not rich, your family will not eat wild vegetables every meal."
A younger woman curiously looked into Gu Ruotong's backpack.
"Sister Zhao, what are you doing?"
Gu Ruonan didn't know when he came from behind to the front. She raised her feet and reached out to block the basket. Gu Ruochen and Gu Ruochuan were also standing next to her, and the three children were guarding each more seriously.
Su Xiaomu agreed and gave the three children a look. Isn’t one person rewarded half a piece of cake this time?
"Oh, there is really something shameful about this. You said that you and your sister-in-law come to the city every day and bring them out in big and small bags. You can't just go to the city to do business and make money with the villagers."
It's still the woman just now.
Gu Ruotong told her in a low voice when she was pulling her sleeve.
"This is Aunt Zhao from the east end of the village. She likes to gossip and sometimes quarrels with Aunt San."
Su Xiaomu raised his eyebrows slightly, this is easy to deal with.
"Aunt Zhao, how many chickens do you have? How many eggs can you lay in a day? How much food can you collect in your field a year? Everyone knows the people in our village, and you have nothing to hide from me, right?"
Aunt Zhao, “…”
This stinky girl!!
Su Xiaomu tilted his head and pretended to be puzzled: "Look, isn't Aunt Zhao too reluctant to tell me about the situation at home? How could she call me and the people in my home tell you everything."
"If I don't dig this wild vegetable, of course there will be someone else going to dig it out. Look at my aunt, you have a lot of digging."
What Su Xiaomu said made the Zhao family's mother and daughter go away. The people around who were originally watching the fun knew that the third wife of the Gu family was not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to come up to find her bad luck, so they scattered around to dig wild vegetables.
Su Xiaomu didn't take this matter to heart, and she continued to find what she wanted.
It was not until she went down the mountain that she realized that Gu Ruotong was feeling a little depressed. She probably knew why, so she put her hand on her shoulder and gently comforted her: "Why are you unhappy?"
"My mother said that she should be kind to others in the village, otherwise if they don't like me, I will not be able to get married in the future."
Gu Ruotong was dejected. While denied that she had not done well today, she also envied Su Xiaomu for being able to say whatever she wanted to say casually.
"I would have loved the same courage as my third aunt."
"This is not a matter of your courage, but your mother told you wrongly before. People in the village will not assign you a good marriage just because you are kind to others."
"Of course, you won't find someone to marry you just because you don't seem so easy to get along with. It's actually you who can really decide how you live in the future."
Su Xiaomu's eyes were shiny: "Woman Bengang, you, first of all, knew what you wanted."
Gu Ruotong seemed to understand what Su Xiaomu said, but she reached out and scratched her cheek, as if thinking about what Su Xiaomu said meant.
"Aunt San is working so hard to make money so that she can be with Uncle San in the future?"
