130 Chapter 130 Gossip
âThatâs right. Which part of them looks like a noble wife? Sheâs not much better than a village woman.â Sixth Aunt Gu agreed with a nod.
No, â she shook her head. âThey are less than a village woman. At least us village women donât torture people to death.â
âYou â¦â Mrs. Liu looked at Sixth Aunt Gu with anger.
However, Sixth Aunt Gu ignored her and looked at Zhou Ying. âSilly girl, hurry up and go back.
!!
âTo deal with people like them, you should be more assertive and shameless than they are. Otherwise, youâll definitely be bullied to the point where you wonât even be able to eat.â
âThank you for your advice, Sixth Aunt. Since youâre here, come on in and have a chat.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she pulled her into the courtyard.
âIt wasnât me whoâ¦â Sixth Aunt Gu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Ying interrupted her. âCome on; you havenât been to our house before, so how can you leave without coming in?â
Hearing that, Sixth Aunt Guâs wife did not struggle anymore and happily followed her into the house.
âShe, sheâ¦â Mrs. Liu saw that Zhou Ying had left them hanging here, getting so angry that she speechlessly pointed at her and couldnât even say a complete sentence.
âSister-in-law, I think we should go back.â Mrs. Yao pulled down her hand.
Although she was angry, she could see Zhou Ying didnât take them seriously.
So what if they make a fuss? At most, both sides would just be the joke of the village.
âAre we just going to let her off like this?â Mrs. Liu said unwillingly.
âThen what can you do? I think itâs better to let our husband come and find Gu Chengrui.â 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 couldnât even outplay a younglingâwhat 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 didnât 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 Yingâs home and given a cup of sugary drink. She also grabbed half a plate of fried beans from yesterday and handed it to her, âSixth Aunt, try it and see if itâs to your liking.â
âFried food will always be delicious,â said Sixth Aunt Gu with a smile. Then, she took one and popped it into her mouth. After swallowing it, she said in surprise, âOh, yes. Itâs crunchy, fragrant, and really delicious. But, itâs a little salty.â
âItâs a little salty, but itâs perfect for tea snacks or with alcohol.â
Sixth Aunt Gu paused before nodding. âThatâs true.â
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 Huaâs 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 patriarchâs 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, âDo you know why they are here today?â
âWhat do you mean?â Zhou Ying asked curiously.
âHave you heard about the fight between their family members these past two days?â
âI briefly heard they had found a marriage partner for their sixth daughter, Gu Ziqiong.â Zhou Ying mentioned.
âYeah, but Mrs. Huang doesnât agree to this marriage, and theyâve been making a fuss. It was the old madam who decided to ask everyone to gather funds so that Gu Ziqiong wouldnât need to marry if they gathered enough.â
âThen it should be Mrs. Huang coming here. Why are they the ones instead?â Zhou Ying paused before asking in astonishment, âThey canât be thinking of cutting off Mrs. Huangâs source of income, right?â
