Chapter 9 009. If you don’t know how to speak, I’ll teach you

But today, Gu Xiaoxiao did not leave after wiping herself. Instead, she sat by the bed and looked at Zhou Zeyun seriously.

Zhou Zeyun's face was still flushed from the blush from just rubbing himself, and he took a deep look at Gu Xiaoxiao. After much thought, he felt that he should apologize to Gu Xiaoxiao, at least since she changed, she really

A lot has been done for them.

"Really..." As soon as Zhou Zeyun opened his mouth, Gu Xiaoxiao raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You should tell me why you are like this today?"

When Zhou Zeyun heard her asking this question, he felt a sense of frustration in his heart, so he lowered his head deeply.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't rush him, she just waited quietly for him to adjust his mood.

After a long time, Zhou Zeyun gritted his teeth and finally spoke. He raised his head, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao seriously, and said seriously: "I still want to apologize to you first. What happened at noon...I am not blaming you,

I'm just...blaming myself."

Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, "What do you blame me for?"

"I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father and have no way to support the family. Instead, I am now the heaviest burden on the family. I can't do anything. I am dragging myself here and not dying... and I have hurt you all."

Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyelids. She didn't expect Zhou Zeyun to have so many thoughts. However, men in this world pay more attention to face, so how could they allow themselves to live in bed all the time while the family is entirely managed by a woman?

.

She thought for a while, without rushing to say anything, and stretched out her hand to press Zhou Zeyun's wrist. Her pulse was much stronger than before, and her recovery was pretty good.

Zhou Zeyun was surprised by her actions and was stunned for a moment. He had always heard from the children that she took his pulse and gave him medicine. This was the first time that he saw the woman in front of him paying serious attention to her pulse.

He didn't dare to breathe for fear of disturbing her.

Then I heard her say: "Don't worry, you won't die! Not only will you not die, you can even walk, go out, and work. When you get better, you can do everything others can do. Don't worry, it will be soon!"

"

Zhou Zeyun's eyes moved when he heard these words. It was like a crack was split open in his dim heart, and a little bit of fluorescence penetrated, giving him the courage to look forward to the future.

"Really?" He stared at Gu Xiaoxiao carefully, trying to confirm the answer in her eyes, fearing that it was just a lie Gu Xiaoxiao had made to comfort him.

But in an instant, he found the answer he wanted in Gu Xiaoxiao's affirmative eyes, and his eyes suddenly felt warm.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the man's beautiful face, which looked better, and said softly: "Hmm. So... you can't continue to be negative, the kids will feel uncomfortable when they see you!... What's more, don't forget,

, I am their stepmother! Do you, my biological father, want to abandon them and let me raise a stepmother? I tell you, there is no way, I am not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses! These children, they cannot live without you.

This dad!"

Zhou Zeyun stared deeply at the woman in front of him. Unknowingly, she seemed to have become thinner and her skin was getting better. Although her face was still fleshy, she was quite cute, especially when she spoke seriously at this time.

Make him feel beautiful and gentle.

He seemed to have thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say them out. After a long time, he finally said to Gu Xiaoxiao, "Thank you!"

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at him and smiled in response. Then he took out two pieces of paper, one was a hundred taels of silver note, and the other was the deed of the house.

Zhou Zeyun was surprised when he saw something. He went to bed in the afternoon, so he didn't know that Zhou's mother had been here.

"Where did you get these?"

"Well...I snatched it!" She was telling the truth.

Then she recounted to him what happened that afternoon. Of course, she only briefly expressed the serious parts.

"Just think of it as...compensating you!"

Zhou Zeyun frowned deeply after hearing this. Gu Xiaoxiao thought he was dissatisfied with how she treated his mother, but Zhou Zeyun's next words made her heart warm.

Zhou Zeyun said: "Are you injured?"

She was stunned for a moment, "That...that's not true. You...don't blame me?"

I saw him chuckle lightly, "Why do you blame me? Blame you for taking such good care of us? Blame you for not abandoning us when we were in the most difficult time? Or blame you for trying your best to get these compensations for me?"

After a pause, he added: "I don't need compensation, but since she 'gave' it, we will keep it!... Gu Xiaoxiao, I am truly grateful to you for not abandoning me, my children, and my family.

, now it’s just you and the children!”

When Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, she suddenly had the feeling that she had flirted with an innocent boy but got caught up in him instead. She originally just wanted to appreciate him more because he looked good!

However, her heart was still relaxed for a moment, and she didn't realize that her heart was very warm at the moment.

"Uh...then these..." She awkwardly tried to change the subject.

"You can keep it, I believe you." Zhou Zeyun said seriously.

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Such a good-looking person said such serious words. She really thought her heart was made of iron!

I had to say "Go to bed early" and then fled back to the West Room.

…

The next few days continued like this, except that Gu Xiaoxiao was pestered by Erbao to accompany them to boxing and practice martial arts in the morning, so he went hunting in the afternoon. The harvest was more or less, but nothing special.

By chance, she hunted a wild boar again, but this time she didn't

She used it to exchange for money and made Chinese dishes at home, all using wild boar. The kids saw the wild boar's eyes shining at first, and then they got tired of eating the meat. It's not her fault. Who made this wild boar grow so big?

It’s too big to be eaten dry! I’d better sell it next time!

A week passed quickly. Because Zhou Zeyun's body was suppressed by her medicine, his sleeping time returned to normal, and he was gradually able to try to get out of bed and walk around. Although he would become asthmatic after a long time, this also made him very excited.

.Those who have passed through the gate of hell will cherish the second life given by God!

The atmosphere between Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Zeyun became a little different because of what happened that night, but only Gu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed. Zhou Zeyun still looked indifferent, but in his heart he didn't reject Gu Xiaoxiao at all. Maybe it was because of what she had brought to him.

His greatest hope!

It was also the day when Gu Xiaoxiao went to Shiweixuan to meet her boss. She was not in a hurry. After lunch, she slowly put her basket on her back and walked towards the town.

She looked at the scenery along the way, but she didn't feel tired at all. An hour later, she arrived in the town and went straight to Shiweixuan without wasting time.

Shopkeeper Wang was waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's figure, he felt relieved and felt a little relieved.

Then he went to greet her, "Oh, Mrs. Gu, why did you come here! Our boss has been here a long time ago! If you don't come, they will leave!"

As expected, Gu Xiaoxiao said calmly: "I'm here right now! Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

Shopkeeper Wang still had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was talking nonsense! Mrs. Gu didn't come here early to discuss business, but she just arrived now! Did she know that her boss had been waiting impatiently?

I’ve already scolded him to pieces before!

But he couldn't say this. The scene of Gu Xiaoxiao carrying a pig with one hand came to mind. He couldn't afford to offend Mrs. Gu! He couldn't afford to offend his boss either! He was simply... simply... ugh! He didn't say anything!

A handful of bitter tears!

She had no choice but to quickly take Gu Xiaoxiao to the upstairs wing to meet her boss. The boss was still angry, so Mrs. Gu should just take care of herself!

While going up the stairs, Gu Xiaoxiao heard a particularly rude shout from a man in the kitchen next to him, "What's the matter with you?! Are you the chef or am I the chef? Don't meddle in things that shouldn't be yours."

!" She frowned slightly and looked over, seeing two people with completely different expressions through the gap in the door curtain.

The other person was more humble and said solemnly: "But...but this batch of mushrooms has expired. They have all...deteriorated, and some even have a fishy and sour smell. Such...cannot be eaten by guests."

The ingredients are put together!”

"Tsk! It's okay, I can't kill you! If you keep nagging here, don't blame me for being rude!... If you don't hurry up and do what you should do, or I will tell the shopkeeper that I will deduct your monthly silver!"

In the end, the little cook couldn't resist the powerful chef and was defeated.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold, and she thought about the embarrassment shown by shopkeeper Wang when she mentioned the taste of the dishes before, and she felt a little clear in her heart. It seemed that she was a well-connected person in the workplace! Such a arrogant attitude! She didn't say anything, but in her heart

After thinking about it, I followed Shopkeeper Wang and continued walking upstairs.

Arriving at the door of the wing, Shopkeeper Wang first knocked twice politely, and then he heard the waiter inside saying "come in" and then slowly opened the mahogany door.

Gu Xiaoxiao opened the door little by little and saw the "boss" in the words of shopkeeper Wang. He was wearing fine ice silk brocade clothes and a mutton-fat jade hair crown. He was accompanied by a personal servant, and this was what he said just now.

Name boy.

At this time, the boss was sitting in the main seat with an angry face, holding a plain paper fan, fanning it vigorously and quickly, as if this could dispel the anger in his heart.

This is truly a rich man! Being rich is good! Gu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly.

Then she looked at the man's elegant face. He was pretty good-looking, but unfortunately not as good-looking as her little husband! I wonder what Zhou Zeyun would look like wearing such a suit? She imagined it in her mind and laughed unconsciously. That should be

Shocking!

And the "owner" Xiao Mu saw the woman who came in with shopkeeper Wang. She was a little fat and was dressed like a village woman. She was still smiling to herself after she came in. Is this the woman who wants to negotiate a deal with him? Why is he so so?

Don’t believe it! Not only is she mentally disturbed, but she also made him wait for so long! Didn’t you see that he was already very angry? She could actually laugh!

Now he was even more angry. He stood up and yelled at Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang! Do you know how precious my time is! This is the person you want me to see?! You asked a fool to come see me?"

!Are you taking me for a fool?!!!"

Shopkeeper Wang was helpless and timidly responded "Yes", burying his head deeply in his chest. Then he realized it later and simply stopped talking and became mute.

When Gu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, her face darkened when she heard Xiao Mu's words. It was true that she was distracted, but what her boss said was too unpleasant! Can she bear this? Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anyway!

Then she walked forward with cold eyes and sat directly opposite Xiao Mu. There was a round table still made of mahogany between her and him.

I saw her putting her hands on the table and saying, "Can you speak? If you can't speak, I'll teach you! Who do you call a fool?! Your family let you out to let you do whatever you want.
