Compared to Lu Manman's joy, Gu Qin's heart was more shocked. She thought that Gu Heng would refuse, or even be angry, but she never expected that Gu Heng would agree so readily.
Gu Heng finished the braised pork in the bowl and handed the bowl to Lu Manman.
Lu Manman was startled. She saw Gu Heng looking at the braised pork and then at his own bowl. Could he be hinting that he would pick up the meat for her? Did she really want to blame him for not having any hands? But she thought that Gu Heng was about to help.
While he was farming, she still smiled and helped Gu Heng pick up the meat.
After one meal, Lu Manman was very tired.
In the past, she only had to take care of Lu Feng to eat alone, but today she has to take care of two people.
The next day.
The villager was going out to inspect the fields when he saw a figure in the distance. He felt that he must have seen it wrong. Gu Heng should be studying at home at this time, and there was no way he was weeding in the fields with a hoe, and it was still in the Lu family's field.
"Hey, Brother Heng, is this the newly purchased land for your family?" After picking vegetables, Gu Hu's family looked at Gu Heng with deep envy in his eyes. Sure enough, it's different if you can study. You can make money by studying.
"No, this land is..." After a brief pause, Gu Heng did not hide it. Lu Manman's ability would be exposed to people sooner or later, so it didn't matter if he let the people in the village know something in advance: "It belongs to the Lu family.
"
"Lu family?" The Gu Hu family was stunned and said directly without thinking: "Don't they say that Lu Manman's family is extremely poor and heavily in debt?"
"Manman is a capable person."
"Maybe the rumors are true. The Lu family separated Lu Yueyue. In fact, it was Lu Manman who wanted to occupy the Lu family's property!"
Gu Heng and Gu Hu's family spoke at the same time.
Gu Heng frowned and was about to speak, but only heard:
Gu Hu's family slapped his thigh fiercely: "You really can't tell a person's face. It seems that what is said outside is true. Lu Feng used to be a good hunter in the mountains. How could there be no money left at home? It's a pity for Lu Yueyue.
, I almost just left home without getting anything, and I was accused of being unfilial."
"Lu Yueyue and Lu Manman separated. Except for the fact that Lu Manman and Uncle Lu live in the Lu family house, everything is split half and half. Uncle Lu is also taken care of by Lu Manman alone. She didn't take advantage." Gu Heng said, but he was surprised in his heart.
, since when did such rumors spread in the village?
Hearing this, the people from the Gu Hu family looked at Gu Heng and smiled: "Brother Heng, you probably like Lu Manman more, but liking is one thing and right and wrong is another. After all, you are also a scholar, so don't do it because
I like it, it kills my conscience."
Gu Heng frowned: "It is precisely because I am a scholar that I know not to be biased and to base everything on reality. On the other hand, Auntie, you spread right and wrong indiscriminately, and be careful of the misfortune that comes from your mouth."
"Haha..." The Gu Hu family looked Gu Heng up and down, but did not take what Gu Heng said to heart. Instead, they concluded that Gu Heng and Lu Manman were having an affair.
In less than a morning, the news spread that Lu Manman forced Lu Yueyue to separate the family and seize the family property to buy land in the village.
How much everyone praised Lu Manman in the past, now they slander her as much as they did.
Lu Manman, who was making clothes at home, didn't know what was going on outside until the village came to her door.
"Uncle Li Zheng."
The villagers were sitting in the yard. After briefly asking about Lu Feng's situation, he glanced at Gu Qin who was wearing cold clothes. He asked Lu Manman to sit aside, but said to Gu Qin: "Brother Heng is now
The most important task is to study and bring glory to the Gu family and our entire Gu family village."
Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, but in an instant she knew the purpose of Cunli Zheng's trip. She wiped her hands and walked towards Cunli Zheng: "Brother Heng has been a successful man since he was a child. He doesn't get in trouble."
"..." The village did not expect Gu Qin to say this, so what should he say next?
"Uncle Li Zheng, just reading without exercise will make people become nerds. Gu Heng studies, which is to cultivate his character; working in the fields, it is to cultivate his body, which will make him have a good body, so that he will be more energetic when studying.
Lu Manman poured a cup of tea for Cunli Zheng: "However, if Gu Heng knew that Uncle Li Zheng cared so much about him, he would definitely be grateful to Uncle Li Zheng."
The villager nodded, but Lu Manman's words still resonated with him, so he didn't mind mentioning Lu Manman's words: "I saw Gu Heng and Gu Hu's family chatting this morning. Gu Hu's family has always been a big man.
Damn it, I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the village knows about your land purchase."
"As long as you know it, you know it. It's not a shameful thing." Lu Manman didn't care.
Lu Manman didn't seem to care when he saw Lu Manman in the village, and it seemed that he didn't understand his reminder.
"What Li Zheng means is that I am afraid that rumors will spread in the village." Gu Qin completely put down her work and walked to Lu Manman's side.
"Rumors?" How can there be rumors about buying a piece of land? Lu Manman said she didn't understand.
"Silly boy, you are young and don't understand the twists and turns of adults." Gu Qin looked at Lu Manman with affection in her eyes: "Although most of the people in the village are simple people, they are also poor.
People who are used to it. When they see you in poverty, they will feel sorry for you, and they may help you occasionally, but if they see you rich, they will also be jealous."
Lu Manman paused, is this what the older generation often talks about... People can see you as poor, but they cannot see you as rich.
"So, if something bad comes out in the village, don't take it to heart." Gu Qin warned Lu Manman in advance. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Lu Manman to get hurt. After all, Lu Manman was very worried now.
Well, her schedule every day was full and full of energy. She didn't want to see her look depressed at all.
Lu Manman waved his hands carelessly: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter. Even if they really have something to say, they won't come to me and say it." If someone is really so short-sighted, he would come to her with something to say.
Speaking of which, she is not a submissive person, so she happened to catch someone coming to scare the monkeys, to see if anyone else would dare to bully her!
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Qin looked at the door: "The door is not closed. Gu Heng is back, so he won't be so polite, right?"
"Who is it?" Gu Qin asked and saw two people appearing at the door. One of them she knew was the shopkeeper of Zhiyuan Bookstore. But who was standing next to the shopkeeper?
"Miss Lu."
Lu Manman looked at the door and immediately saw a man with luxurious clothes, a jade-like temperament, and a warm smile on his face.
This man is very good-looking, and he is someone you can never forget after just one look. He is very sunny, and his smile makes people feel happy.
"Who are you?"
Their eyes met, and the man looked directly into Lu Manman's eyes: "Ning Jing, the owner of Zhiyuan Bookstore." This chapter has been completed!
