130 Chapter 130 Gossip
“That’s right. Which part of them looks like a noble wife? She’s not much better than a village woman.” Sixth Aunt Gu agreed with a nod.
No, ” she shook her head. “They are less than a village woman. At least us village women don’t torture people to death.”
“You …” Mrs. Liu looked at Sixth Aunt Gu with anger.
However, Sixth Aunt Gu ignored her and looked at Zhou Ying. “Silly girl, hurry up and go back.
“To deal with people like them, you should be more assertive and shameless than they are. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be bullied to the point where you won’t even be able to eat.”
“Thank you for your advice, Sixth Aunt. Since you’re here, come on in and have a chat.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she pulled her into the courtyard.
“It wasn’t me who…” Sixth Aunt Gu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Ying interrupted her. “Come on; you haven’t been to our house before, so how can you leave without coming in?”
Hearing that, Sixth Aunt Gu’s wife did not struggle anymore and happily followed her into the house.
“She, she…” Mrs. Liu saw that Zhou Ying had left them hanging here, getting so angry that she speechlessly pointed at her and couldn’t even say a complete sentence.
“Sister-in-law, I think we should go back.” Mrs. Yao pulled down her hand.
Although she was angry, she could see Zhou Ying didn’t take them seriously.
So what if they make a fuss? At most, both sides would just be the joke of the village.
“Are we just going to let her off like this?” Mrs. Liu said unwillingly.
“Then what can you do? I think it’s better to let our husband come and find Gu Chengrui.” Mrs. Yao pursed her lips.
To tell the truth, she looked down on Mrs. Liu. After so many years of hard work, she finally became the main wife but couldn’t even outplay a youngling—what a stupid woman.
She thought of Mrs. Huang, who had been making trouble for the past two days, and her face immediately sank.
After that, she didn’t pay her any more attention and turned around to return home.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she turned her head and glanced at Er Zhuang, squatting at the door and staring at her. She immediately lifted her legs and trotted after Mrs. Yao.
Sixth Aunt Gu, on the other hand, was welcomed into Zhou Ying’s home and given a cup of sugary drink. She also grabbed half a plate of fried beans from yesterday and handed it to her, “Sixth Aunt, try it and see if it’s to your liking.”
“Fried food will always be delicious,” said Sixth Aunt Gu with a smile. Then, she took one and popped it into her mouth. After swallowing it, she said in surprise, “Oh, yes. It’s crunchy, fragrant, and really delicious. But, it’s a little salty.”
“It’s a little salty, but it’s perfect for tea snacks or with alcohol.”
Sixth Aunt Gu paused before nodding. “That’s true.”
After that, the two of them ate and drank while they chatted.
Zhou Ying also learned a lot about the situation in the village from Sixth Aunt Gu.
For example, Widow Hua’s daughter, Chunhong, seems to have fallen in love with Gu Chengye. She went up to Mrs. Liu a few times in the last few days to get closer to her, but Mrs. Liu never paid her any attention.
Another was that the heir of the patriarch’s family had started finding candidates for marriage, but he had gone through a few families and had no intention of settling.
Finally, Sixth Aunt Gu turned around to look outside, ensuring that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yao had left. She then looked at Zhou Ying with a mysterious expression and asked, “Do you know why they are here today?”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Ying asked curiously.
“Have you heard about the fight between their family members these past two days?”
“I briefly heard they had found a marriage partner for their sixth daughter, Gu Ziqiong.” Zhou Ying mentioned.
“Yeah, but Mrs. Huang doesn’t agree to this marriage, and they’ve been making a fuss. It was the old madam who decided to ask everyone to gather funds so that Gu Ziqiong wouldn’t need to marry if they gathered enough.”
“Then it should be Mrs. Huang coming here. Why are they the ones instead?” Zhou Ying paused before asking in astonishment, “They can’t be thinking of cutting off Mrs. Huang’s source of income, right?”
