Chapter 236 Accidentally saw He Xiu
The two of them went home together while gossiping about the Shen family.

Zheng will be able to move to the newly built house in two days. He Xiu expressed her reluctance on the surface, but she was really happy in her heart.

If it weren't for the relatively high rent offered by Zheng, she would be able to earn some food supplement money and buy some rouge and gouache. Plus, when the village chief opened his mouth, she would be too embarrassed to push back.

When she lost her husband, some people coveted her house and fields. It was the village chief Gu Dafu who issued a notice to her, warning everyone not to have messy ideas.

After she lost her husband, she had issues with Gu Xiangdie, and Gu Dafu basically stood by her every time she made an argument.

So when Gu Dafu arranged for Zheng, mother and son to temporarily rent at her home, although she was reluctant, she still agreed.

Mrs. Zheng loves to gossip and has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. He Xiu doesn't like her very much, but she has to show off.

On the other hand, her two children are quite sensible, especially Cuiyu, who works very neatly and is well-behaved and obedient.

Mrs. Zheng often thinks about finding a good marriage for her in the future, so that she can also enjoy happiness.

Cuiyu can cook, and since she moved in, He Xiu often eats with them on the same table.

He Xiu also knows how to cook. She used to cook for her husband, but since she became alone, she can cook less and less, and her cooking skills have slowly deteriorated.

The food made by Cuiyu is quite delicious.

On this point, she quite liked it, and on this point, she was a little reluctant to part with it.

While eating, Cuiyu was a little absent-minded and almost knocked over the soup bowl.

"You girl are in a daze all day long! Go collect your clothes when you're done eating!" Madam Zheng waved her hands angrily as if to shoo away flies.

Cuiyu put down the bowls and chopsticks and left the dining table.

While she was collecting her clothes, she secretly looked at He Xiu who was still eating with Zheng in the room.

When she went out to dig wild vegetables two days ago, she accidentally saw He Xiu cuddling with a man in a very intimate manner.She saw and heard clearly. Although she didn't know the man, what she heard was related to Gu Xiyue's family.

Gu Xiyue's cousin Gu Dali was killed by bandits while being escorted in the county. No one in the Gujia Village knew about it.

The first seven days have passed, but the funeral has not yet been arranged. People in the village are spreading the word that Gu Zhongliang's family is very heartless, does not care about brotherhood, and spends nothing, resulting in no money for the funeral.

What Cuiyu saw and heard shocked her so much that she couldn't digest it for a long time. After thinking about it alone for a long time, she decided to tell Gu Xiyue.

After arranging her clothes, she was about to sneak out, but was called by Zheng to wash the dishes again.

While she was washing dishes in the yard, a small stone suddenly hit her feet.

Cuiyu put down her work and ran to the low wall. Gu Xiyue lay on the low wall and waved to her.

"Come out and play!" Gu Xiyue said.

"I still have to wash the dishes! I can't go out until I finish." Cuiyu wiped her hands on her pants.

"Then I'll wait for you at the same place. Come right after you wash up!" Gu Xiyue handed her a candy.

"Xiao Tao gave this to me, take it and eat it, it's delicious!"

"Thank you!" Cuiyu quickly took it and carefully hid it in his pocket.

"Jadeite! Have you washed it? Come in and mop the floor!" Zheng's voice came from the room.

Cuiyu waved to Gu Xiyue, hurried back to the well, squatted down and continued washing the dishes.

Mrs. Zheng ordered her to do this and that, and it wasn't until dusk that she had time to slip out.
