“That’s good. You will go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow and take some work back. Bring your five sisters to do some embroidery work to earn money for food.
“As for the work at home, you and your daughter should not interfere in the future.”
“Yes, old madam. I will go and get a job tomorrow.” Mrs. Huang hesitated for a moment. Although she was worried that it would tire her eyes, she thought of the heavy physical work she would have to do otherwise and finally nodded.
Although Mrs. Liu and the others were jealous, they knew they were not cut out for it. This was why they didn’t say anything since this would bring in more income for the family.
“Since no one has any objections, it’s settled then. You guys will take turns in the future. Whoever messes up again can forget about eating.
“In addition, tell the five of them to learn embroidery properly when you go back. Whoever doesn’t want to work will have to work in the fields.”
“Yes.” They immediately responded in unison.
“Alright, you guys can cook dinner together tonight. Hurry up and get back to work.” After the old lady finished speaking, she got up and returned to her room.
Although Mrs. Liu and the others had their thoughts, their stomachs were unbearably hungry, so they didn’t delay any longer and started to work.
The old madam thought that the problem had been solved in time but didn’t know that her neighbor on the right, the sixth sister-in-law of Mr. Gu’s generation, who was also the clan leader’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Qian, had heard it.
“What a group of spoiled young ladies. So many people can’t even cook a meal. “She said with disdain.
After she finished speaking, she quickly thought about how they had chased the third son out of the house. She wanted to gossip, so she didn’t even eat and went directly to the family leader’s house to ask around.
After getting the news, she immediately spread it around.
They also quickly discovered that Gu Chengrui and his wife had moved to the Mother God Temple. They looked down on the Gu family even more.
Almost the entire Shanghe village instantly knew that Gu Chengrui and his wife had been driven out to the Mother God Temple.
However, although most of them sympathized with them, they didn’t intend to get involved. After all, the two of them were considered an unlucky bunch.
Moreover, Zhou Ying was considered a jinx, so they only pitied them but didn’t do anything.
However, it did not stop them from watching the fun and laughing at the women of the Gu family, who were so spoiled that they could not even do the housework well.
Of course, after the news spread, some people also had ideas about Zhou Ying. After all, when the Gu family returned to the village, none of the women were bad-looking.
At night, Zhou Ying and her husband sat around the fire and boiled a pot of iced pear to drink. After drinking it, they were about to enter the interspace when Gu Chengrui noticed someone loitering nearby. He immediately made a shushing gesture to Zhou Ying.
After Zhou Ying understood, she bent down to pick up two big pieces of firewood and gently walked over, handing one to him.
After that, the two of them stood on both sides of the door, quietly waiting for the people outside to come in so that they could trap them before they beat them up.
About 15 minutes later, the footsteps gradually approached. The two immediately raised a large piece of firewood and readied themselves.
After a while, they saw two short men, one in front of the other, cautiously come in. They were stunned when they saw both husband and wife standing on both sides with firewood.
Then, the two of them looked at each other and pounced on Gu Chengrui simultaneously. As long as they could take him down, Zhou Ying would be nothing to worry about.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui was amused. Then, he swung the stick and hit the shoulder of the man on the left.
The man screamed and fell to the ground, holding his arm and screaming.
The other one was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run. Seeing this, Gu Chengrui immediately jumped and kicked the other person in the back.
