Chapter 168 Luo Meihua's Thoughts
The next morning.
Wen Wuyan, Wu Shan, Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua went to the town together.
Luo Meihua was in a much better mood. The day before yesterday, she and her mother-in-law went back to her parents' home. On the one hand, she apologized to her sister-in-law, and on the other hand, she told her parents and eldest brother why Niu Yuzhu was causing trouble.
Her elder brother and younger brother just said, "Just stay at home and leave the rest to us."
In less than half a minute, Dong Ge brought the bruised and swollen person home to apologize to her.
only......
Gu Qingqing was walking with Luo Meihua. Seeing that she seemed to be worried, she looked at Wen Wuyan and Wu Bo who were pulling the cart in front and pulled Luo Meihua.
Luo Meihua was distracted and caught off guard and uttered an "Ah". She looked at Gu Qingqing and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Gu Qingqing glanced forward and said, "Let's walk slower."
Luo Meihua didn't understand why, but her pace slowed down.
After they were a certain distance apart, Gu Qingqing said bluntly, "Meihua, is there something you haven't resolved? Why do you seem to be worried?"
Luo Meihua paused, not knowing what to say for a moment, or she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
Gu Qingqing did not urge him and let him decide. The two of them walked slowly side by side.
After a long while, Luo Meihua seemed to have made up her mind, and she dropped a bomb right away, "Sister-in-law, please help me. I want to move out of my home. Although I haven't had time to tell my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I think they probably don't agree. Do you have any good ideas?"
Gu Qingqing didn't expect that she was melancholy about this. She was so shocked that she even forgot to walk. She frowned slightly and looked at Luo Meihua in confusion and asked, "Why? Didn't your uncle and aunt treat you very well?"
Since Luo Meihua had opened her heart, she expressed her concerns. "It's because they treat me well that I have such thoughts. I heard everything that brother Yuzhu said when you were not there that day. In the past, my child was young and my parents-in-law treated me well. Although the child's father is gone, I lived with them and nothing bad happened. Now that I know someone is gossiping behind my back, how can I live in peace? I'll let it go. After all, I already have Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang by my side. If brother Yuzhu has a bad reputation, how can he get married in the future? Or who will be willing to marry him in the future."
"Meihua, are you being too paranoid?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't understand what the snake wrapped around the cup is, but I don't want people to point fingers at me behind my back."
Gu Qingqing listened to her nagging and finally concluded that there is always trouble around a widow.
It is clearly a family helping each other, but in the eyes of some unclean people, it becomes distorted.
Even Niu Yuzhu, the legitimate brother-in-law, became a topic of conversation.
If it were any other family, when a widowed daughter-in-law wanted to move out, her husband's family would usually allocate an area for her and build a small, decent house so that she would have a place to live.
Gu Qingqing looked at Luo Meihua carefully with the eyes of two lifetimes. What she was thinking about was the working style of Niu Zhanghe and his wife. She felt that Luo Meihua's desire to move out was a little mysterious.
"Meihua, do you want to move out alone? Or do you plan to use this as an opportunity to split up the family?"
"I haven't thought about it that much. I just want to move out. I'll leave the rest to my parents to arrange." Luo Meihua shook her head cluelessly.
"If you are simply afraid of those rumors, you can try to discuss it with your uncle and aunt. Don't even mention dividing the family, just talk about moving out to live alone. But I think it's a bit difficult. Maybe at that time it won't be you who moves out, it's very likely that your uncle and aunt will build a house in that vacant land and drive Yuzhu out." Gu Qingqing told her what she thought.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Qingqing continued to ask, "Meihua, what are your thoughts for the future? Do you plan to raise the child and live like this for the rest of his life? Or do you want to wait until the child grows up and then find a family that suits your eyes and marry him off?"
Luo Meihua instantly screamed in shock like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Then she blushed and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, why am I still getting married when I'm in this state? I just want to raise Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang to adulthood and I'll be satisfied."
"Then tell your uncle and aunt what you think and see what they think before you talk about the rest. Only when things are put on the agenda can there be further progress."
Luo Meihua nodded, "Yes! I understand. I will tell my parents when I have the chance. Before that, I hope my sister-in-law can keep it a secret for me."
Gu Qingqing smiled brightly, took two quick steps, and suddenly turned around to face Luo Meihua. She was walking forward, and she was backing away. "You want me to keep it a secret? Okay, then you have to think of how to bribe me, otherwise I can't guarantee that I will tell you first one day."
"Oh, my dear sister-in-law, please stop teasing me." Luo Meihua took two quick steps and caught up with Gu Qingqing who was walking backwards. She straightened her body and asked her to walk properly. At the same time, she said flatteringly, "How do you want me to bribe you? Buy two kilograms of sticky candy. Can I make your mouth sticky?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, absolutely."
"Okay, you wait."
......
When they arrived in the town, Luo Meihua went to set up the stall alone, and Gu Qingqing went to Zhiweilou alone, but in fact, Wen Wuyan, Wu Shan and the town's Wang Xuncha had already hidden in a room in the restaurant.
In the backyard of Zhiweilou, Manager Song came to inspect the dishes in person. At the same time, in front of the pale faces of all the waiters in the restaurant, he said to Gu Qingqing righteously, "This elder sister had an accident the day before yesterday. We are grateful that you admitted your mistakes and took the initiative to bear the cost of the herbs for our waiters. On behalf of Zhiweilou, I dare to give you another chance. If you eat the dishes in the future without any problems, I will continue to have a contract with you. If something like the day before yesterday happens again, it will not be as simple as paying ten or twenty taels of silver as compensation. We can only meet in the government office. You will bear the consequences yourself, you know."
Gu Qingqing lowered her posture and was willing to be the smaller one. At the same time, there was a trace of caution on her embarrassed face. "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Song. Last time it was handled by my family, and they may not have handled it well. This time I will do it myself, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong. If the last thing happens again, we will bear all the cost of the herbs. At that time, Shopkeeper Song can do whatever you want with the knife or the cutting."
Gu Qingqing resisted the urge to look at Diao Ergou's expression. She and Shopkeeper Song had done this on purpose today, not afraid that he wouldn't take the bait.
He will be happier only if he is unlucky.
"Okay, that's settled. Come here, help put the vegetables away." Shopkeeper Song called to the errand boy.
Then he said to Gu Qingqing, "Come with me to get the money for today's food." Shopkeeper Song took a few steps and saw that no one in the yard understood. His face suddenly turned cold, "Don't just stand there. Go do what you need to do."
