Chapter 82 Seventy Stepmother Let You Be (12)

"I don't need to bother you. It's none of your business who I marry. You take care of yourself. I heard that your daughter was beaten by your son-in-law and broke three ribs. Why don't you give your daughter a head and let her marry her?" She is divorced, she is your own after all, how did you let her marry that kind of bastard who can beat women?"

Gu Shichu said lightly, pointing directly at Second Aunt Liu's pain point. It is not useless for her to hear the news from all directions. Didn't she just happen to hear about Second Aunt Liu's house before?Now it's just right to take it out and answer Aunt Liu.

Sure enough, Second Aunt Liu's face turned red with anger when she heard Gu Shichu's words, and she was as suffocated as a pig's liver. She trembled her lips and said, "You, you...what does this have to do with you?"

"Originally, it's none of my business, but didn't you care about my marriage just now? I'll reciprocate and care about your daughter's marriage. Why are you angry? You scolded me just now and I didn't scold you back..." Gu Shichu Raising his eyebrows, he said with a smile, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Second Aunt Liu was choked speechless, so she could only say sternly: "Okay! Treat people's kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs! If you have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I'll see what will happen to you in the future!"

After speaking, he left angrily, leaving Gu Shichu far away.

Gu Shichu sighed boredly, this man's fighting ability is too poor to even quarrel.

When it was time to get off work, Gu Shichu left with the crowd. Second Aunt Liu met her in the field and gave her a hard look, apparently still harboring a grudge.

Gu Shichu returned home, had enough rest, and continued to repair the house by herself. She had annoyed Ji Mingtao before, so Ji Mingtao didn't come to help her anymore, and she could only do it slowly by herself.

Fortunately, this dilapidated house is not big, so it wouldn't take long for Gu Shichu to repair it by himself.

She thought the room was too dark, so she removed the narrow window and changed it to a larger one, and opened another window on the other side, so that enough light could come in, the room was much brighter, and it was impossible to see. It was so dark and depressing before.

Just as Gu Shichu was replacing the rain-soaked mud bricks on the wall with new ones, an unexpected visitor came to the door.

"Niece Gu! You are at home, it seems that I came just in time..." A middle-aged woman with a round waist walked in and said to Gu Shichu with a smile, "What are you doing? Repairing the wall? Oh, you He can even repair walls, really capable!"

Gu Shichu put down his work, went to the yard to wash his hands with water, and then asked, "Aunt Xi, what do you want me to do? Come in and sit down."

She welcomed him into the house, and gave her a bowl of cold boiled water: "Sorry, there is no tea at home, only boiled water, you can just make it."

She naturally has tea, all kinds of top-quality good tea, but it is produced in her companion space, and it cannot be seen by people now, otherwise the source cannot be explained-she is an orphan, where does she get good tea?

So I can only entertain this Aunt Xi with a bowl of boiled water.

Aunt Xi didn't care too much, after all, under the current conditions, other people in the village entertain guests with the same white water, and entertaining distinguished guests may be a little sugar-soaked.

"Niece Gu, how are you doing now? Would it be too lonely to live alone?" Aunt Xi asked with pity. She looked at the hall of the Gu family, and it was really poor. I don't know how long the lame Eight Immortals table and three or four worn-out small stools have been used, and the original appearance of the tables and chairs can no longer be seen.

Gu Shichu smiled politely and said, "Fortunately, I work in the fields to earn work points to support myself, which is not bad. I'm used to living alone, and I don't feel lonely. What's the matter with Aunt Xi coming to see me?"

In fact, she knew the purpose of this aunt's visit. Apart from being plotted against her marriage, what other value could she use?
I don't know what day it is today, so many people are taking care of their own marriage?
Aunt Xi took a sip of water before cutting straight to the point: "Since you are the only one in your family now, I'll tell you directly. Don't be too shy, I'm here today to propose marriage to you."

She carefully looked at Gu Shichu's face, and saw no sign of displeasure, so she breathed a sigh of relief, showed an amiable smile, and said:

"The one who asked me to kiss was Zhou Shitou from the head of the village. You know Zhou Shitou, too. He is the son of the widow Zhou. He is tall and thin. Although he is not very strong, he has a good temper and is obedient and honest! It was Widow Zhou who first took a fancy to you, she thinks you are hardworking and capable, and just suitable for her son! What do you think?"

Hearing Aunt Xi's words, Gu Shichu immediately laughed. She did know Zhou Shitou, who looked like a bamboo pole and had little flesh on his body. It was said that he was weak and sick from birth, so he named him Shitou. I hope he is safe and sound, and his life is tough enough not to be hooked by Hades.

Zhou Shitou is indeed good-tempered and obedient enough, but that is how the widow Zhou managed him. The widow Zhou regarded him as her lifeblood and managed him very strictly. Water has to obey her orders.

So there is actually a more modern word that can describe the relationship between Zhou Shitou and his mother: Ma Baonan.

Zhou Shitou is good-tempered and obedient, but in fact he is cowardly, has no opinion, and listens to his mother in everything. It is impossible for such a family to marry into a good life.

Widow Zhou's desire to possess and protect her son is too strong, and it is impossible to get used to her daughter-in-law, even if she chooses her own daughter-in-law, she can't help but intervene in the couple's affairs, so family conflicts are inevitable.

Besides, Zhou Shitou's health is not good, who knows when he died, isn't that harmful?

Widow Zhou said that she liked her hard work and ability, and she obviously wanted to find a free nanny so she could work and support her son. It was a good idea.

It's a pity that it depends on whether you are worthy or not, Gu Shichu thought.

"Auntie, if I marry someone, it must be to have a good life. I can't marry someone worse than me now, right? If I marry Zhou Shitou, he is weak and cannot work, so I have to support him After a few years, I had a child, and the widow Zhou got old again, so I had to raise the child and mother-in-law alone, and the whole family depended on me.

Auntie, do you think that kind of life is good?When I'm not married, I only need to support myself, but if I marry him, then I have to support two, three, four, five, six... Tsk tsk, so I won't be exhausted? "

Gu Shichu said to Aunt Xi with a half-smile.

Aunt Xi was dumbfounded when she heard Gu Shichu's words. She obviously didn't expect Gu Shichu to say such a thing, but she said it in a very orderly and realistic way, but it was too realistic and well-founded. Aunt Xi couldn't refute even if she wanted to.
