Chapter 172 Exposing the Lies
Gu Manxiu couldn't help but look at her little girl when she thought about the situation in the wasteland.

Gao Changyue immediately said: "I'm waiting for mother on the ground."

Dong Dahe's daughter-in-law Liu couldn't help but hugged the little girl into her arms, "Xiaoyue is so good, will you go to the fields with your aunt later?"

The little girl nodded seriously, she still remembered the incident when Liu Shi brought food for her and her two elder brothers when she was a child.

Gu Manxiu locked the courtyard door at home, and then went to the wasteland with Aunt Wan on her back.

Although she already knew that the samarium made by Gu Manxiu was for weeding, Aunt Wan still couldn't believe it when she saw this strange thing.

"Ms. Yuan Shan, this thing of yours...can really weed? If not, bring two more sickles."

Gu Manxiu knew Aunt Wan's worries, and comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm bringing the sickle. Today I'm just trying to see if this scythe works well, so that everyone can prepare two more for the family, so that everyone can relax a bit this autumn harvest." .”

Aunt Wan thinks about it for the same reason. If the thing made by Gu Manxiu is really useful, then they can save a lot of effort for this autumn harvest.

A group of people headed towards the back mountain, and the people from Chen Xing Village they met on the way looked very surprised.

Now everyone is waiting for the autumn harvest, waiting for the village chief to go to the fields to harvest crops.

Even the men in the village who used to work as buddies outside are staying at home to nourish their spirits at this time.

Seeing Gu Manxiu and his party, carrying a basket, a sickle, and a strange thing made of bamboo in their hands, I was very curious.

"Aunt Wan, where are you going?"

"Yeah, the village chief hasn't notified you yet, why did you go to the field?"

"Ms. Yuanshan? Why are you following? Your family has no land. Are you going to help Aunt Wan?"

"That's right, what are you holding in your hand? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Seeing someone approaching, Aunt Wan couldn't help being happy.

"You don't know about that. A while ago, Yuan Shanniang and her family bought wasteland, and now they are going to weed the fields, and I will go with them. The thing in Yuanshan's hand can weed weeds. It is said that it is stronger than our sickle. It's okay."

Everyone was amazed, can a thing made of bamboo work better than a sickle?Isn't this a lie?
"Yuan Shanniang, is what Aunt Wan said true? But we've never seen this thing before, how do you know it's better than a sickle?"

"Don't use it as a bluff, right? If you have a sickle, use it to mow the grass properly. What are you making useless things to show off?"

Gu Manxiu is a stepmother with three children.The life at home is not only not as difficult as everyone imagined at the beginning, but it is getting better and better, which makes some people feel unbalanced.

Seeing Gu Manxiu bring out something made of bamboo and claiming it is better than a sickle, these people feel disdainful, but they can't help belittling Gu Manxiu.

"If a woman is a family, she should take good care of her children at home. Why do you go out and make a fuss? It's not embarrassing!"

Aunt Wan was originally smiling and telling everyone about the good things Gu Manxiu made, but when she heard these words from the crowd, her expression suddenly darkened.

"Damn Shuanzi, what nonsense are you talking about? The Yuanshan lady is much more capable than you. Not only can she make money by herself, but she also raises three children for nothing. Look at that kid of yours, too. Are you ashamed to call her Yuanshan Lady?"

Those who disagreed with Shuan Ziniang also responded at this time.

"Isn't that right? A few days ago, I heard our kid say that grapes are sour when he can't eat grapes. Although we haven't seen grapes, I think it must be a good thing. Miss Shuanzi, you just can't see it." My wife Yuanshan lives better than your family, so why not talk about it. You are right when I feel ashamed!"

Shuan Ziniang originally wanted to run on Gu Manxiu, who made Gu Manxiu's family better and better.The family of orphans and widows is better than theirs now, and she has long been unhappy.

She just couldn't hear someone say good things about Gu Manxiu, so she stood up and said a few words.

But she never thought that it was just an extra word that made people so disgusted.

For a moment, Shuan Ziniang's complexion was even uglier than her pan-acid face just now.

"What's wrong with me? Am I wrong? Shouldn't a woman be poked in the spine when she works like a man all day long?"

What Shuan Ziniang said was too much, and many men in the village frowned.But although everyone disagreed in their hearts, they couldn't say anything to refute.

After all, it has long been a deep-rooted idea in people's minds that men dominate outside and women dominate inside, but they are farmers, and some men and women do things on weekdays.As long as they can survive, as long as the family can have more food, even women have to go to work in the fields.

At first, Gu Manxiu didn't care about Shuan Ziniang's run-on, but now she heard Shuan Zinian's unabashed contempt, discrimination, and even contempt for women, she couldn't help frowning.

Although today is in a patriarchal society, it is an era where men are superior to women.But hearing these belittling words from a woman's mouth, Gu Manxiu still felt it was ridiculous.

"According to what Mrs. Shuan said, the women in your family are like the ladies of the rich and noble families. They don't step out of the door without leaving the second door?"

This is naturally impossible.

But facing the eyes of so many people, how could Mrs. Shuan slap herself in the face?

Hearing Gu Manxiu's question, she stiffened her neck and said, "What's the point? Our girl is not the same as your wild girl. Our Cuifen is learning embroidery from her sister-in-law now, so the girl with embroidery The handkerchief, but it will be sent to the rich family in the future, and those hands can't do rough work."

Speaking of this matter, Shuan Ziniang raised her head unconsciously, feeling that she was superior to others.At this time, not only Gu Manxiu, but also the other people in Chen Xing Village seemed to be ignored by her.

Someone couldn't see Shuan Ziniang's face, and said unceremoniously: "Shuanzi Niang, don't talk nonsense here. Go to the autumn harvest, and your family Cui Fen also went to the field to harvest crops?"

As soon as these words came out, the person who was unhappy because of Shuan Ziniang's superior posture just now showed a mocking look.

"Yeah, we are all ordinary people, and we're not those rich and powerful families in the town. Why are we pretending to be rich ladies here? The autumn harvest is so tense every year, why don't the women in your family go to the fields to harvest the crops?"

The lie was exposed face to face, and Shuan Ziniang's face turned blue and red.

In the end, she pointed the finger at Gu Manxiu.

In her opinion, these women in the village are difficult to deal with, but Gu Manxiu is easy to bully.

Among other things, the two sisters of the Zhou family had played a lot of autumn in the Gao family before.
