sister-in-law

Chapter 119
In the yard, Luo Shi pitifully tugged on Gu Lanniang's sleeve, "Lan'er, your second sister and I are tired and hungry, see if you can get us something to eat, and burn some water to wash and change our clothes? "

He then took a plain hang silk beanie that Gu Lanniang was wearing and rubbed it in his hand, "Look at the texture, it's many times better than the fabric in the best silk shop in Qingquan County!"

Gu Lanniang's face turned red, the clothes were made by Su Ruoli for her.If it weren't for her, the two of them would still be suffering from that old godly woman in Wangjia Village.Not to mention wearing good clothes, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat enough.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more guilty.Just now, he actually had a lot of resentment towards Su Ruoli, but all the food, clothing and clothes he owns belong to her, so what right do he have to resent her?
As the saying goes, "Hands are short for grabbing people, but mouths are soft for eating people." Gu Lanniang was extremely conflicted and didn't know what to do.

Being used to living a good life, she just felt that she couldn't do without Su Ruoli, but if she was allowed to violate her conscience and really accept a person who framed her mother and killed her father as her reliance, her conscience couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it, she decided to settle down with her mother and second sister first.

So she turned around and closed the door, and brought Luo Shi and Gu Meiniang into her room, and comforted Luo Shi, "There is still some leftovers on the stove, Re Nuan Niang and my younger sister will eat first. I'm going to boil water right now."

Luo Shi and Gu Meiniang sat on the kang in Gu Lanniang's room, looking through Gu Lanniang's cages, picking out clothes and jewelry that could be changed and washed.

Gu Lanniang was busy working under the stove with the child in her arms, but she didn't hear the sound of footsteps behind her.

With a faint smile on the corner of Su Ruoli's lips, looking at the busy figure, although he couldn't bear it, he finally said, "Well, big sister, there is not much charcoal at home, and the rice noodles are almost gone, you should save it." Let’s have some. We’ve already eaten dinner, and it’s not cold, so don’t waste charcoal.”

Gu Lanniang turned her head quickly, and saw Su Ruoli was leaning against the door and looking at her with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, it was completely different from the usual warm and indifferent her.

After finishing speaking, Su Ruoli didn't wait any longer, turned around and left.She thought that Gu Lanniang must have understood her words.

Gu Lanniang's face was blushing to the point of bleeding, holding a spatula in her hand, she didn't know whether to put it down or continue.

Luo Shi waited in the house for a long time but didn't see any hot food being served, so he couldn't help getting angry, and ran to the kitchen after getting off the ground.

This is a small courtyard just outside the entrance, in addition to the three upper rooms, there are wing rooms and side rooms, one of which is used as a kitchen, so it is not difficult to find.

The furious Luo Shi cursed before entering the kitchen, "Damn girl, what's wrong? Your mother is about to starve to death."

After stepping over the threshold, she realized that Gu Lanniang was sitting on a small pier crying with her child in her arms, holding a spatula in her hand.

The house was cold, and there was no fire at all.

Taking a sideways glance at Xiao Tanlou behind Gu Lanniang, Luo Shi became displeased, "What are you dawdling about? Why are you crying so well?"

I went to the charcoal Lou by myself, "Isn't there charcoal here? Why don't you light a fire? Your second sister said that you should have a good bubble after eating, and she also took a fancy to your moon-white flowered dress. Will you lend her some clothes later?"

Luo Shi, who talked a lot, didn't ask Gu Lanniang why he was crying at all.

Gu Lanniang grabbed Luo Shi's hand and choked with sobs, "Mother, don't make a fire, eat something cold, fortunately, it's not very cold this day!"

"What? Are you ashamed to let your mother and your sister eat cold leftovers?" Luo Shi's eyes widened, wishing to put his face on Gu Lanniang's, with his mouth wide open as if he wanted to eat people Same.

Gu Lanniang was so frightened that she took a step back and stuck it against the cold wall. She bit her lips, gritted her teeth, and said, "This is Miss Su's house. She came here just now, so don't let the fire be lit..."

Her voice gradually dropped, and the dim oil lamp illuminated her face, making her look more and more cowardly.

With a sound of "clang", Luo Shi kicked Tan Lou down, and jumped three feet high in anger, "If she says no, then she won't do it? Little bastard, what is she? I am an elder, and she is so disrespectful to her elders." ?”

"Mother, you are nothing now." Gu Lanniang reminded Luo Shi fearlessly, she really didn't want to see her mother continue to embarrass herself.

She is a shameless person, and Miss Su has already expressed her intentions, so Gu Lanniang is naturally not thick-skinned.

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Luo Shi swallowed the words that got into his throat, and exhaled with difficulty, only to regain his breath.

That's right, how could she forget about this?She personally begged Mr. Li to ask a master in the yamen to do the letter of divorce.

Hmph, it's a good thing she got rid of this little hoof, otherwise, with her heart, she wouldn't have killed the downcast her?
Luo Shi snorted coldly, and walked away without even looking at the mess on the ground. Before he left, he still forgot to protest loudly, "Isn't your elder brother the general of the Western Expedition? I heard that the house was awarded by the emperor. Wait until tomorrow." Let's go find him at dawn!"

Although these words were directed at Gu Lanniang, Su Ruoli knew that Luo Shi was speaking for her.

Seeing her arrogant appearance, she thought she weighed a few catties.

Hmph, if you want to live here, you are not being honest, you have to pay a price.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Su Ruoli had already left the room, stood on the porch, and looked at Luo Shi.Luo Shi's eyes were full of provocation, and he stared at her without any fear, as if he was showing off to her, "My son is a general, who am I afraid of!"

Su Ruoli remained unmoved, but leaned coldly against the pillars in the porch, and chuckled, "My family doesn't keep irrelevant people overnight, you'd better go."

Since he is so capable, why should he spend the night with her?
Luo Shi didn't expect Su Ruoli to be so disrespectful to her, and after groaning for a long time, he came back to his senses, turned away from that face that was about to bleed, and forced a sneer, "Isn't it just staying for one night? It's so necessary Stingy? Ordinarily, you are not our Gu family, and you are a fellow with us! When a fellow sees a fellow, how can you not help?"

Hearing that Luo Shi had unknowingly gotten into a relationship with her again, Su Ruoli couldn't help but secretly marveled that this bitch had two tricks, and even talked about her fellow countrymen.

Now that I need her, I get close to her, thinking that I wished I could crush her to death.

Smiling, Su Ruoli stretched out a slender white finger unhurriedly and shook it in front of Luo Shi's eyes, "It's fine to stay!"

As soon as Luo Shi heard this, a smug smile immediately appeared on his face: "Look, this little bastard just needs to be cleaned up. If you shout a few harsh words and give me a sweet date, isn't that a compromise?"
Before the smile on his face could subside, he heard Su Ruoli continue to say: "My place is located in the downtown area, the conditions are good, it is convenient to go out, all the equipment at home are high-quality, one night stay is 100 taels per person !"

"What?" Luo Shi's smug smile was immediately tainted with panic, and that face changed so quickly that it looked extremely funny, "Why don't you rob it? The most expensive inn in Beijing is only a tael of silver a night. Dare the lion ask for 100 taels?"

Listen, I also know the price of the Jingli Inn, and I have inquired a lot.

Su Ruoli sighed softly, "As for me, I am an honest person. I never do those things that are devoid of conscience. 100 taels is considered cheap. If you are an outsider, 120 taels a night is not too much. It depends on you In the face of my fellow countrymen, I will give you a discount, just charge 100 taels."

The greasy white finger swayed triumphantly and retracted, Su Ruoli stood there with her arms folded and looked at Luo Shi with a face that opened the sauce shop amusedly.

Luo Shi didn't say 100 taels of silver at this moment, it would be considered good if he could find a tael of silver all over his body.

Being squeezed by Su Ruoli like this, her old black and yellow face was almost as pale as a pig's liver, she opened her mouth a few times, but no words came out.

I don't know how many times I have scolded Su Ruoli in my heart, but Su Ruoli looked at her cowardly behavior and didn't want to argue with her anymore.

"Gu, Gu Mo, we packed our things and went to your eldest brother's general's mansion!" Luo Shi stammered and called Gu Mo who was in the wing room, a little lacking in confidence.

Gu Mo naturally ignored her, she really had no choice but to turn to Gu Lanniang.

At this time, the door was slammed again, Su Ruoli looked over with a look of surprise, wondering who could come in now that it was dark.

The people outside the door seemed to understand the worries of the people inside, and shouted loudly, "Li'er, it's me!" It was Gu Zhang's voice.

Has his wound worsened?This was Su Ruoli's first thought, and before he had time to think about it, he went down the stone steps to open the gate.

A small carriage with clear oil and emerald green cover was parked outside the door. At this time, the curtain of the carriage had been pulled open. Gu Zhang got down from above and was leaning on the shaft of the carriage, staring at the direction of the gate.

The door was opened, and Su Ruoli, who was wearing a moon-white skirt and a silver-red floral pleated skirt, came out anxiously.

"What's wrong? But the wound infection has worsened?" Su Ruoli didn't have time to ask him anything else, so he asked about the injury right away.

Gu Zhang's heart warmed, and he looked over with bright eyes, and comforted Su Ruoli softly, "No, I'm fine! I just wanted to come and see you!"

"Why are you running around without you?" Su Ruoli angrily annoyed him, "Didn't I tell you to lie down and recover from your injuries? You don't want my life to drag me on my back."

Su Ruoli, who was in a rage, was a little unscrupulous. She hated patients who didn't follow the doctor's orders the most, which made her feel that her hard work was in vain.

Gu Zhang smiled carelessly, "I can't lie down, all I can think about is you, if I don't come to see you, I feel so bad that I'm going to die..."

Su Ruoli was speechless, so he could only look up at the dark night.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Luo Shi jumped over in a few steps, and when he saw Gu Zhang, he didn't have time to hold his arm, "Zhang'er, you're finally here, are you here to pick up your mother? That's great, save me Be angry with this little hoof!"

She didn't know about Gu Zhang's injury, so she used some strength to pull off the wound on Gu Zhang's chest, causing him to yelp in pain.

Luo Shi didn't care, but couldn't wait to ask how the general's mansion was cleaned up, which courtyard she would let her live in, etc., and didn't ask whether his son was injured on the battlefield...
