Chapter 39 Childhood sweetheart?
"Oh... you said she is not a great person, she just has a relationship with Third Uncle."
Seeing that she was almost home, Mrs. Yin looked around to make sure Mrs. Li hadn't gone out for a stroll before she lowered her voice and said.
"This girl from the Zhao family is called Zhao Yueyue, and she and her third uncle grew up together.
The relationship between the two has always been good. If it hadn't been for the illness that my third uncle had suffered before, maybe the two in-laws would have formed a family."
After Mrs. Yin said this, she pointed Su Xiaomu in the direction of Mrs. Chen: "Well, if you want to know about this, you have to ask your second sister-in-law in detail. She knows more than me."
Su Xiaomu was originally not interested in Gu Jingcheng's personal affairs, but she still wanted to gossip about his confidante.
Without him, I just want to know if a cold-hearted person like him would ever be gentle to a little girl?
So as soon as she and Yin entered the yard, Su Xiaomu called a few children to help unload the goods.
She quietly went to talk to Mr. Chen herself.
"Second sister-in-law, can you tell me about that sister of the Zhao family?"
She sat down next to Chen in a familiar manner and helped her sort out the thread: "Today my sister-in-law and I went to the village chief's wife's house and met her."
"Then you still come to ask me? That sister-in-law from the Zhao family must have told you a lot."
Mrs. Chen looked at Su Xiaomu teasingly. She didn't expect that Su Xiaomu would come to her to ask about this matter.
She thought that with her weak appearance and amiable temperament, even if she knew about this matter, she would just pass it off as if she didn't know.
So he put down the embroidered handkerchief in his hand and planned to talk to her about the past of his third uncle.
"Speaking of which, our whole family is familiar with this sister from the Zhao family.
She was getting along with her third uncle at that time. She would always come to our house for dinner when she had nothing to do, and she would also help third uncle pack his things and study with him. How do you say that..."
Mrs. Chen frowned when she thought of this. She poked her scalp with the embroidery needle in her hand and suddenly realized, "The red sleeves add fragrance, and everyone used this to refer to them at that time."
The two of us had a good relationship at that time, and they both said that the Zhao family wanted to marry our family, but it was a pity that the third uncle fell ill later."
Su Xiaomu curled her lips, it was still a love story of your own accord, but the ending was not very good.
A young couple with true love succumbed to reality, and then the man found another wife. The woman couldn't let go for a long time, and in the end, they almost became enemies.
"But don't tell your mother this..."
Mrs. Chen was afraid that Mr. Li would know that she was chewing Gu Jingcheng's tongue from behind, so she emphasized this to Su Xiaomu.
But she didn't know that Ms. Li had come out of the house long ago and had just listened to what they just said.
She had a sullen face and kept yelling at Mrs. Chen.
"You usually can't find anything to do? Whenever you have free time, you just talk here. How many times have I told you not to interfere with the third family's affairs.
You just can’t hear it, so why don’t you rush to talk about the third child?”
If Mrs. Li hadn't guessed that there were children in the yard at this moment, she would have just picked up the broom and wanted to hit Mrs. Chen.
Instead of being a good and good daughter-in-law, she wants to be that annoying talkative woman.
He still had to rush to tell his third wife about his previous stupid things.
As a sister-in-law, I don’t expect the third child to have a good life at all.
"Mother, I..."
Mrs. Chen did not expect that Ms. Li would hear what she said, nor did she expect that she would get so angry.
She shrank and hid behind Su Xiaomu, unable to hold back a word for a long time.
Su Xiaomu was also startled by Mrs. Li's angry look.
She was afraid that Mrs. Chen would be resented by Mrs. Li, so she quickly stepped forward to coax her and said: "Second sister-in-law is not speaking ill of husband. I just went to the village chief's wife with my elder sister-in-law to buy eggs, and happened to see Zhao's sister.
.”
"Did you see her?"
Li's face still looked a little ugly.
But when she met Su Xiaomu's watery eyes, the anger she was holding in her heart was somewhat relieved.
She patiently came to talk to Su Xiaomu: "What happened between her and Jingcheng in the past doesn't count. Xiaomu, no matter what, you are the best daughter-in-law in my mother's heart."
Mrs. Li looked at Su Xiaomu, and the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
As for Su Xiaomu, she actually didn't care at all whether she and Gu Jingcheng were a good match. It didn't matter whether he had a childhood sweetheart or not. Whether the two had talked about getting married before or had made a private life-long commitment, these had nothing to do with her.
As long as she can live a good life and earn money now, that's all.
Then a bright smile appeared on his face, he took Ms. Li's hand and said very considerately: "I know that my mother is good to me, and my husband is a good person. I believe that I am the only one in his heart."
Anyway, she wouldn't live her life pointing to Gu Jingcheng.
Mrs. Li really didn't expect that Su Xiaomu was not only gentle, but also so generous.
The more she looked at her lovely face, the more her heart softened, and her tone of voice became gentler.
She and Mrs. Li talked for a while before going to the kitchen to help Mrs. Yin clean up the pig's head.
At this moment, Ms. Chen was afraid that she would be scolded again, so she had already taken her children to the backyard.
When Su Xiaomu woke up the next morning, her back was sore, but thinking that she was going to make money today, she ignited her fighting spirit again.
Because they got up a little earlier than yesterday, the location of the stall today is better than yesterday.
And there are many repeat customers who come early to take care of business.
In just one hour, all the meat buns and braised eggs at Su Xiaomu's stall were sold out.
"Boss, you have to make more meat buns tomorrow. You said you sold them out so early. I can't have a second meal in the afternoon."
Her last customer said to her dissatisfiedly while eating steamed buns: "Your food is so delicious, you should sell it more often."
"Okay, then I will make more steamed buns tomorrow, and you will have to take care of my business when the guests arrive."
Su Xiaomu and Yin packed their things happily. They looked at the clean meat and eggs they had bought, with satisfaction written all over their faces.
Today they made almost a hundred roujiamo, plus thirty braised eggs for four cents each. After this trip, excluding the money they spent on buying pig heads later, they made a net profit of six to seven hundred cents!
"If we could earn this much every day, our family would be considered completely prosperous."
Be good, if they make more steamed buns tomorrow, they will earn several more taels of silver!
"I don't know if it's going well, but I've run out of white flour at home, so we're going to buy more this time."
It was dusk again when she and Yin went home after shopping. Every day had been very fulfilling recently. At night, she prepared the materials needed for the next day's business and it was almost time to go to bed.
Su Xiaomu doesn't dare to stay up late at all now, otherwise she won't be energetic when pushing the cart during the day.
And today they got up earlier than yesterday.
Mainly because when it was time to go to the market, Su Xiaomu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get a good spot at the entrance of the academy.
Unexpectedly, they were walking on the road with a lot of energy, their legs were almost thin, and they still couldn't occupy the good position where they always placed him.
With no choice, she and Mr. Yin had no choice but to find a corner to set up a stall.
Mrs. Yin went out for a while and said angrily when she came back.
