Chapter 12 Entering the City

Lu Manman hopes that when she goes to the city today, she can make money from her pictures and paintings. It's okay that she didn't mention cooking before, but when she mentioned cooking, she couldn't help but want to eat some good food. She lives in Gu Heng these days.

At home, they eat porridge and side dishes every day. I don’t know how Gu Heng and the others manage to eat them without changing their color and enjoying them as sweet as sugar.

Gu Heng walked in front, glancing at Lu Manman behind him from the corner of his eye from time to time. She was just entering the city, but she seemed excited.

Lu Manman's attention was not on Gu Heng. She followed him silently, but her eyes couldn't stop looking around. She found that after time travel, due to the pain, she was confined to Gu Heng's house. She had no knowledge of the outside world.

The understanding is all through the memory of the original owner, but memory is always memory, and nothing can be as real as seeing it with one's own eyes.

There didn't seem to be many people in the village, and the houses were sparse. Most of them were thatched houses, and there seemed to be very few mud houses. As for the large blue brick houses, she hadn't seen them yet.

In this way, she thought that Gu Heng's family was considered very poor if they could not afford a meal of meat for several days, but compared with other people in the village, Gu Heng's family was considered good?

After all, Gu Heng's family lives in a mud house.

"Ah!" Lu Manman bumped into a hard back. She subconsciously protected her head and looked up at Gu Heng: "Why did you stop suddenly?"

"Does it hurt?" Gu Heng lowered his head and looked at Lu Manman.

Lu Manman let go of her hand: "It definitely won't hurt when I touch you. I screamed just now because I wasn't prepared to be scared by you." She was so kind and didn't make Gu Heng feel guilty.

"it's a pity."

Lu Manman let go of his hand and looked at Gu Heng doubtfully: "What a pity? What do you mean?"

"Literally." When Gu Heng saw Lu Manman only looking at him, he turned around and continued walking forward after speaking.

"..." Lu Manman was speechless. She looked at Gu Heng and really wanted to hit him. In fact, she also waved her fist behind Gu Heng, but the distance was far away and her head began to hurt again.

He sank and followed me depressedly.

"Manman, come on, Auntie has a good seat for you." Seeing Lu Manman coming, Gu Qin quickly patted the seat next to her.

Lu Manman smiled at Gu Qin and glanced at Gu Heng faintly when she passed by, waiting for her to recover!

Ignoring Lu Manman's gaze, Gu Heng got on the bullock cart and found a seat by himself.

Gu Qin glanced at Gu Heng with dissatisfaction. This person didn't know how to help Lu Manman, but actually came up on his own. She stood up and extended her hand to Lu Manman.

After Lu Manman got on the bullock cart, she sat down properly. She had never ridden in an bullock cart before, so it was quite novel. While her eyes moved and she was curious about her surroundings, she found that everyone in the bullock cart was looking at her.

, to be precise, what they looked at most was her forehead.

Gu Heng also noticed that Lu Manman was being watched by everyone, and secretly thought that this girl might cower behind her mother. After all, her face was unsightly, and being looked at by so many people would make her feel inferior. But... she didn't

He didn't dodge, it was quite worth it, and he was sitting very upright.

Lu Manman allowed others to look at her. Her eyes were fixed on others. They were free to look at what they wanted. She continued to look at the bullock cart calmly, and saw that there were nearly ten people sitting in the small place, and the wooden boards their feet were on.

There are also many backpacks and bamboo baskets placed on it. Some baskets are filled with chickens and ducks, and some are filled with vegetables. As for the bamboo baskets, most of them are eggs...

"Ahem!" Gu Qin glanced at the people who were staring at Lu Manman. These people usually chatted with each other as soon as they got on the bullock cart. Now, as if they had agreed upon it, they all stared at her Manman.

"Haha... Mrs. Qin, why did Manman ride into the city in an ox cart with your mother and son? Where is her mother?"

There was a person taking the lead in the oxcart, and immediately there were more sounds.

"Manman, what's wrong with your forehead? I heard some time ago that you deliberately hit the wall to seek death in order not to marry Brother Heng. Is it true?"

"What? Hitting the wall and seeking death?"

"Yes, yes, look at the wound on her forehead. Even if it heals, it may leave a scar. This child may be disfigured."

"How can you still get married if your face is disfigured? I don't know what Lu Manman is thinking."



Several ladies in the oxcart started talking to each other as if no one was watching.

Lu Manman blinked and looked steadily in front of him. They were discussing in full swing at the moment. Did they not know that the protagonist of their discussion was sitting opposite them, or had they forgotten that she was sitting opposite?

Gu Heng saw Lu Manman frowning and thought to himself, sure enough! Lu Manman couldn't really care about her appearance, she was just pretending not to care.

"You people, have you said enough?" Gu Qin got angry and glared at the gossipers in front of her with dissatisfaction: "Why do you want to hit the wall and seek death because you don't want to marry Brother Heng? What about ruining your appearance so that you can't get married, let me tell you!

When I go to the city today, I just want to find a fortune teller to find out which day is the auspicious day, and then you will all come to have a wedding banquet!"

As Gu Qin finished speaking, the oxcart fell into silence.

Lu Manman turned her head and looked at Gu Qin for a moment. Didn't she go to the city to find a doctor for her this time? Why was she looking for a fortune teller to see if she would get married on the auspicious day of the zodiac?

Gu Heng was also looking at his mother. There was absolutely no way he would marry Lu Manman.

Gu Qin held Lu Manman's hand and told Lu Manman through her actions that as long as she was there, Lu Manman did not need to worry.

On the other side, the Lu family.

Xue Tong discovered something was wrong with Lu Yueyue a few days ago. This girl has been particularly irritable these days. She loses her temper and doesn't like to eat: "Yueyue, you still need to eat something. Your father hasn't been back for so long, so

This is the first time this has happened, and Mom is already very worried, so don’t let Mom worry about you anymore."

Lu Yueyue suddenly looked at Xue Tong: "You only worry about dad, have you ever worried about me?"

"Of course I'm worried about you."

"Ha! Liar. If you are worried about me, why don't you help me find a way to bring Lu Manman back? Why do you let Lu Manman stay in the Gu family?"

"This... Manman is injured, and Gu Qin is taking care of him. There is nothing wrong with him."

"What do you mean it's nothing wrong, you just don't want to take care of Lu Manman! No, to be more precise, you want to shirk responsibility. Lu Manman has been at Gu's house, waiting for his father to come back. No matter what Lu Manman's injury is, there will be follow-up.

Well, you have something to shirk!"

Xue Tong was struck by what Lu Yueyue said, and his eyes evaded for a moment: "You don't know how much your father cherishes Lu Manman. If you know that Lu Manman hit a wall under my care, you will definitely have trouble with me.

Yes, he might even divorce me."

Lu Yueyue looked at Xue Tong and felt that Xue Tong was selfish and only considered herself. She completely ignored her daughter's thoughts. All she wanted was to rely on her own plans and no one could rely on her: "If you don't bring Lu Manman back, I won't wait."

When dad comes back, I will also make trouble with you! Or...you want to wait until my dad comes back, and I tell him that you don't like Lu Manman at all, let her get hurt, and are unwilling to take care of her."

"Yueyue!" Xue Tong looked at Lu Yueyue in disbelief. Why did this child suddenly change? He was so considerate before, why did he suddenly start threatening her?
