Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ending the Tea Eggs
"Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Qu, I ......" glanced at the ruthless Liu family with a somewhat helpless face, and Gu Zhan was only full of shame now.
It wasn't until today when he went up the mountain and met a few fellows who were hunting together that he learned that his sister-in-law had done such an excessive thing behind his back.
"Why did you get down the mountain? What about the prey, did you know that this little girl was coming, so she didn't plan to do the work, so she ran down in a hurry, ah?! ”
Seeing Gu Zhan's empty hands, Liu became angry on the spot, although she knew that Qu Die had just arrived, and this matter was impossible, but she still shouted like this in a fit of anger.
"If you don't leave, you fox, how long are you going to harm our family? Go away, you're not welcome! Walk! Originally, Qu Die came to the door, and Liu's heart was already on fire, but now Gu Zhan's appearance of running back so impatiently made her explode, and she wanted to push Qu Die away and close the door as she spoke.
"Sister-in-law!" The first to strike was Gu Zhan, who couldn't stand Liu's unreasonable troubles anymore, and directly scolded, and a pair of big hands had already resisted the wooden door like iron tongs.
The other hand also successfully blocked Liu's hand that wanted to reach towards Qu Die.
Stunned, Qu Die was not unable to parry Liu, but she still felt a trace of warmth for Gu Zhan's behavior of standing up to help her for the first time.
"You, you, you! You're still helping her? I'm your sister-in-law, it's your family, does this little girl have such a great ability to make you even care about your home?! ”
Feeling the faint pain coming from his wrist, Liu's appearance at the moment was not fake, and although Gu Zhan did not use force, he still felt a little guilty.
I was about to speak, but I heard a few voices from behind.
"Little brother, has your daughter-in-law come to see you? I said, how did you go so fast! ”
"That's it, I've never seen this guy run so fast, I thought something was wrong, tsk, dare to be like this!"
The hearty laughter was accompanied by teasing words, and even Qu Die couldn't help but turn his head, only to see two old uncles dressed in thick cloth clothes with a few ropes and daggers wrapped around their waists walking down.
And listening to their words, it is obvious that they are acquainted with Gu Zhan.
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense." Glancing at Qu Die in embarrassment, Gu Zhan was obviously a little embarrassed at this time, he knew that these two uncles had no malicious intent, but that message still had a great impact on Qu Die.
Fortunately, Gu Zhan saw that Qu Die's face was not unusual, and his heart was a little relaxed.
And when Liu heard the two of them joking, his face was not very good, and he pointed at Qu Die and shouted to the two of them: "That's it, what nonsense, this little fox will definitely not be the daughter-in-law of my ancient family!" Who's unlucky! ”
Spat hard, Gu Zhan and the two of them were a little embarrassed.
After all, they were just passers-by to say hello, so why were they innocently reprimanded?
But Liu was completely angry at this time, and he didn't notice the abnormality at all, but saw that there were others present, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to completely ruin Qu Die's reputation.
"She seduced Gu Zhan of our family, making him not work all day long, ignoring his family and not listening to his elders, which is simply a scourge! Look at it, a few days ago, you asked him to work for you every day, and today you can't even get a prey back, oh my God, are you determined not to let our family have a good time! ”
took out an embroidered cloth from his arms, Liu looked pitiful and wiped the tears that did not exist in the corners of his eyes, if he didn't know, he would definitely believe what she said.
And on the contrary, those two hunters happened to be uninformed people, and a few days ago they heard the rumors that Qu Die and Gu Zhan were entangled, and now they naturally believe it to be true.
For a while, he changed from the smiling teasing just now to looking at Qu Die's gaze with something strange, and even took two steps back as if to keep a distance from her.
All of this was also taken into Gu Zhan's eyes, and a heartache immediately flashed in his eyes, and without saying a word, he directly retorted to the Liu family, "Sister-in-law! Don't talk nonsense anymore, how can Miss Qu's teenage daughter's family bear such slander from you, I will be angry if you talk nonsense like this again! ”
frowned and looked at Liu very unhappily, but fortunately, the milk was still resting at this point, otherwise he might have to come out to take a look when he heard the movement outside.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to raise his voice.
Fortunately, his deterrence was also useful, with a height of nearly one meter nine and that strong body, Liu was indeed frightened.
After a long time, he replied hesitantly: "I, how can I talk nonsense? She dared to do such a thing herself, didn't she let people say it?! ”
Qu Die sneered and looked at Liu's disgust for himself, but his posture was very indifferent.
"Gu Zhan and I have always been friends, you want to pour dirty water on me yourself, how did you become a disobedient person?"
Holding his arms, Yu Guang swept the small movements of the two people on the side, and couldn't help but be more calm.
Before Liu was about to insult Qu Die again, Gu Zhan also opened his mouth at this time, and his words were also very clear.
"Count me begging you, sister-in-law, I know that you already have a grudge against Miss Qu, but this is indeed innocent, why do you have to do this? Alas, you stop talking nonsense, the milk is still sleeping in the house, you should go back to take care of the milk as soon as possible. ”
Sighing lightly, Gu Zhan's tone couldn't help but soften, with his thoughts, it was better to calm down as soon as possible, and not to make any more trouble.
What's more, the Yang family is resting in the house now, and the movement here is too big, and she can't make a noise.
threw an apologetic look at Qu Die, seeing that Liu's momentum was finally not as arrogant as before, he didn't know how to refute when he opened his mouth, and he also put a burden on his heart.
And the two uncles who were passing by the onlookers, seeing this, couldn't continue to join in the fun, waved their hands, and turned their heads to leave.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of my sister-in-law that I figured out these things, it's not too early now, I'll send you back!" Pushing Liu into the house, the Yang family, who was sleeping in the room next to him, really had some sober movements.
Frightened, Liu hurriedly wiped his hands, left Qu Die and the two who were still at the door, and hurried over.
No matter what, at least in the eyes of the old lady, Qu Die is still her great benefactor, if she does this to let the old lady know, I am afraid that some of the family relationships that have been hard to recover these days will be broken again!
Shaking his head, Qu Die did not involve his anger on Gu Zhan, but was a little curious about the unexpected encounter with him today, so he did not refuse his request.
The two walked back towards the old house and chatted, "I also met the two uncles who also came to collect the trap today, they joked with me, and I only then knew that my sister-in-law was spreading these things outside, I am really sorry for you, and I must have caused you a lot of trouble." ”
pursed her thin dry lips, Gu Zhan was still very puzzled by her sister-in-law's behavior, and she didn't understand why she had to wear this kind of news outside.
Thinking that when he was teased on the mountain, he was ashamed and eager to find a hole in the ground to get into, Qu Die, a girl, must be thinner and more embarrassed.
"I'm just a rough person, I really don't care if they say that, after all, I haven't asked for a daughter-in-law for more than 20 years." Scratching his head honestly, Gu Zhan was very humorous.
But Qu Die knew that he was not humorous, but just told the truth, "What, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future?" Hooked lips smiled, looking at the hideous scar on the man's face, I don't know if I was used to it, but I didn't feel anything unusual at all.
It does not affect Gu Zhan's hard/straight nose bridge and deep eyebrows and eyes.
After chatting a few more words, he could soon see the outline of the old house, and knew that Gu Zhan still had a grandmother to take care of at home, so Qu Die didn't force him to eat.
handed over a package of tea eggs, stuffed them into Gu Zhan's hand with a smile, and said, "Na, these are all things I can't sell, take them back and help me solve them!" Don't waste it! ”
Pretending to be a fierce warning, the two said goodbye.
After silently looking at Gu Zhan's tall and straight back for a while, Qu Wanting couldn't help but come over, "Big Brother Gu is still good, but it's ...... There is such a sister-in-law, alas. ”
Sighing lightly, what happened during the day was indeed very infuriating, especially after learning that all this was done by the Liu family, even Qu Wanting was a little resentful.
But fortunately, the Gu family is not all like that.
Smiling lightly, Qu Wanting herself didn't notice a flash of pleasure in her heart.
After the events of that night, Liu's temperament seems to have subdued a little, but occasionally dogs can't change their-eating habits and will say some bad things about Qu Die in the village.
However, when these rumors reached the ears of the deity, she only smiled faintly, without the slightest mood swing.
It's another day to set up a stall, because the rumors in the village have not completely dissipated, plus those things that happened before, Qu Die's business still hasn't improved.
But fortunately, there will still be a few greedy villagers who are willing to buy a little bit for the sake of the price, which can be regarded as a small business.
And on this day, a big man who surprised Qu Die a little deigned to come to her stall.
"How can Master Xie still remember me, a little villager? I don't know if I'm here in person now, but what business do you want to talk to me about? His gaze fell accurately on the money bag in the hand of the subordinate.
Qu Die's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of pleasure, it seemed that Xie Qinghai's arrival should not be a bad thing.
So she didn't deliberately drive away, but looked at the visitor with a smile.
"Hmph." With a cold snort, Xie Qinghai looked at Qu Die's ordinary small stall with disdain, his face full of pride.
"It seems that you really haven't given up, do you think you can fight me with such a few stalls? Oh, it's really annoying to watch. Kicked over the tea egg tray in front of Qu Die, and the warm juice almost splashed on the two of them.
Qu Wanting exclaimed even more and hurriedly took a few steps back.
