Chapter 174 The Bought Wife

Hearing Tian's scolding became more and more ugly, Wang's heart held a grudge against Gu Manxiu.

She felt that if Gu Manxiu hadn't made things difficult for her today, she would not have been insulted by her mother-in-law like this.

Tian pointed at Wang and said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to a grandson for our Liu family, you lazy bastard, I would have asked Shuanzi's father to divorce you a long time ago!"

Wang Shi was so frightened that she immediately raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Tian scolded, "What are you looking at? Didn't our family invite an ancestor back!"

Wang was embarrassed for a while, "Mother, I...I didn't mean that..."

"What do you mean by that? Your father asked for five taels of silver from our family. If Shuanzi's father hadn't been soft-hearted, I would have allowed you, Wang Honghua, to come in?"

"Hmph, Wang Honghua, don't forget, our old Liu family didn't beg you to marry me. It was your father who sold you to our family for five taels of silver! I have your contract of sale here, if it wasn't for our family For Shuanzi's sake, I have already told you about the good things your family did back then!"

Wang's face turned pale, and his lips squirmed for a long time, but he couldn't say a word of excuse.

Looking at her appearance, Tian only felt upset, "Okay, okay, hurry up and work in the fields, don't stay at home all day and do nothing, it's annoying to see."

Wang Shi clenched her teeth, feeling wronged and angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak in front of her mother-in-law.

Seeing his mother rushing to the field with a shovel, Shuanzi's eyes were red, so he couldn't help but go back to find Mrs. Tian.

"Grandma, my mother seems to be crying."

Tian shi hung up the washed clothes to dry, and couldn't help but snorted coldly when she heard the elder grandson's words.

"When did your mother stop crying? I really thought I was the eldest daughter of that family. When I came to our house, I always felt that she was wronged."

Shuanzi was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Grandma, I heard from my mother before that her grandfather's grandfather was a landlord, and he seems to be richer than the people in our town."

Tian sneered, "Grandfather's grandpa? How many generations has it been? She, Wang Honghua, doesn't have that kind of blessing. And don't mention this matter in the future. If your mother talks about it again, you will let your mother come to me!"

Although Shuanzi didn't let him mention it, he knew that what his grandma did was always for his own good.

"Grandma, my mother seemed to be arguing with Yuan Shan's mother just now. I'm far away, so I didn't hear anything."

Tian frowned, "This Wang Honghua..."

"Leave her alone, think about things all day long. Those children in the Yuanshan family are good children, and their mother is also a good one. Don't learn such narrow-minded virtues from your mother all day long."

Shuanzi smiled, "Grandma is right, Changhe brought toys when he came back from the capital. I heard that the carpenter in the capital specially made them for him. They are called Luban wood. They are all drawings drawn by his mother. Give me one. Milk, look."

When Tian saw the gadget in his grandson's hand, the smile on his face became more sincere.

"You can't just take Changhe's things. Your sister-in-law bought some candied fruit from the town a few days ago. You go and get some for Changhe and the others to eat."

At the head of the village, many people heard about the usefulness of the samarium, and they all wanted to follow Gu Manxiu to the wasteland to watch the excitement.

Naturally, Gu Manxiu would not stop her. Another purpose of her doing this was to make everyone's autumn harvest faster this time.

When the time comes, she will be able to find people to work as soon as possible when she grows herbs.

Everyone went to the back mountain together, and saw Shuan Ziniang leading a shovel from afar.

He raised his voice and shouted: "Ms. Shuanzi, don't the women in your family not work in the fields? Where are you going?"

"Why are you still holding a shovel? The work in the fields is done by us mud legs, not your rich lady."

Shuan Ziniang didn't say a word, she lowered her head and went to the field.

Passing by Gu Manxiu and the others, seeing the exquisite bracelet protruding from Gu Manxiu's wrist, his fingers tightened a little involuntarily.

Glaring at Gu Manxiu fiercely, he left in a hurry.

Aunt Wan saw Wang's eyes clearly, and couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter with this Shuanzi girl? She's so good and no one provokes her. I don't have good deeds in my mouth, so why are you blaming others?"

The people who were close to Wan's family snorted coldly, "Why don't you get jealous seeing Manxiu bring a few children across the border?"

"I used to hear her say that her grandfather's grandfather was a big landlord. If it wasn't for his family's troubles, he wouldn't have married into our small mountain village."

This remark immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

"It's no wonder that Mrs. Wang looks at people with her nostrils up all day. It turns out that their family is really rich."

Aunt Wan sneered, "What a rich family, maybe something happened in the family. Otherwise, why would the good ones be in trouble? You young people don't know that when the Liu family said they were marrying a daughter-in-law, it might as well be that they bought a daughter-in-law. Where is the daughter-in-law?"

Everyone was puzzled, "Aunt Wan, what do you mean by that? The Liu family bought Wang Honghua?"

"No, Wang Honghua's father is a gambler, and he asked the Liu family for five taels of silver back then. If Wang Honghua's father hadn't insisted that their daughter was pregnant and wanted to marry into the Liu family, then the Tian family would not have Spend so much money to buy a daughter-in-law for your son."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, gambler?That is fatal.

"Aunt Wan, is this true? Wang Honghua's father...is he really a gambler?"

"How can I lie to you about this? Have you ever seen Wang Honghua go back to her natal family in these years?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they had never seen it before.

"Okay, don't mention this matter again. It's not easy for Mrs. Tian, ​​and Shuanzi is also a sensible child. He is still young, so don't let the child hear things that shouldn't be heard. Mothers are not sensible , but Shuanzi is a child of our village, we can't harm him."

Everyone knows that gossip is harmful, but Aunt Wan's words made it difficult for everyone to continue.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Didn't Mr. Jiang say that there are several children in our village who are studying materials. Shuanzi listens well. We all know the importance and don't talk nonsense."

Gu Manxiu raised her eyebrows while listening, she didn't expect that although the people in the small mountain village didn't read much, they were quite enlightened.

"I've also heard from Mr. Jiang that Shuanzi is smart. Whether it's memorization or literacy, they are the children who learn the fastest."

Everyone was surprised.

"Yuan Shanniang, what you said is true? Shuanzi... is he really so smart?"

Gu Manxiu nodded, "Shuanzi goes to our house every day to find Changhe, you can ask Yuanshan and Changhe."

Gao Changhe nodded, "Shuanzi is smart, he can memorize books much faster than me. But he can't compare to my brother, my brother is the best!"

Gao Yuanshan is a man who can read, everyone knows that.But no one expected that Shuanzi was so smart.
