Chapter 41 Meeting an Enemy
Zhang Yunniang insisted not to take the money.
Liu Xiaoru listened to her refusal, but she only thought in her mind: Others don't care about anything when they see money. Only I, a silly sister, only think about others.
The more she refused, the more Liu Xiaoru insisted, and she even wanted to throw the money in Zhang Yun's mother's room and leave.
She insisted on giving the money to Zhang Yunniang, not only because she couldn't trust others and was afraid that someone would steal it from her, but also because she remembered that Zhang Yuniang seemed to have gone through a period of poverty in her dream, and her money could help solve her urgent need. OK
Even if Zhang Yunniang uses up all the money, Liu Xiaoru is willing, as long as she can help Zhang Yunniang.
"The money you need to settle down and live is the most secure thing you can do if you hold it yourself." Zhang Yunniang persuaded her earnestly.
But Liu Xiaoru stared at her without blinking and said, "I feel most at ease if I put her here with my sister."
Zhang Yuniang has never seen anyone more stubborn than Liu Xiaoru.
The two of them couldn't explain clearly after arguing for a long time, but Niu Niu, who was watching the whole process, tilted her head and asked: "Aunt Liu gave money to Mom, do you want to do business together?"
The two of them were startled when they heard this. Although the child's words were simple, they seemed to be the same path.
Niuniu tilted her head again and said: "I had a dream last night..."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Niu Niu suddenly covered her mouth.
Zhang Yunniang was puzzled: "Niuniu, why don't you continue talking?"
Niuniu explained: "You don't let me talk about dreams."
Zhang Yunniang glanced at Liu Xiaoru and said, "It's okay, just tell me, your Aunt Liu is not an outsider."
Niu Niu grinned and said happily: "I dreamed last night, Mom, that you made a lot of money and bought a lot of beautiful clothes for Niu Niu. In the dream, there was something particularly delicious. It was fragrant and tasted better than roasted chicken. Take a bite. Forget about all the unpleasant things...I have never tasted anything better than that!"
The child's words were unfocused and her mouth was almost dry. She was still describing how delicious the food in her dream last night was. However, even after talking for a long time, she couldn't tell what kind of food it was.
Zhang Yunniang was almost hungry when she told her, but she still waited patiently for her to finish, and then said: "So Niuniu believes in me so much, I am so powerful in your dream."
Niuniu nodded vigorously, her big round eyes sparkling, and said: "Not in the dream, my mother is also the most powerful."
The little girl looked so delicate and soft, Liu Xiaoru pretended to be jealous and asked: "Niuniu, isn't Aunt Liu awesome?"
Niu Niu immediately said: "Aunt Liu, you are also powerful, but my mother is the most powerful!"
Liu Xiaoru looked at the little girl's cute little face and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, I'm so lucky to have such a cute daughter like Niuniu."
Zhang Yuniang was afraid that if she was bitten by a snake, she would not want to remarry in the future, so she said: "There are good people and bad people in this world. There are people like Wang Yaozu who use their wives as stepping stones, and there are also good men who really love their wives and children. In the future, they will slowly explore and reborn." A few well-behaved children.”
But Liu Xiaoru was very tolerant and said: "I listen to my sister. The person my sister said I could marry is definitely the right one. When the time comes, I will also have a few children, and I will chase Niuniu and call her sister every day."
Niu Niu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I can be a sister too! My third uncle's brother never calls me sister. I thought I had no chance to be a sister!"
Zhang Yuniang's heart sank when she heard this. The nephew of the third bedroom was already old enough to talk. The reason why he didn't call her Niuniu was because she guessed that Liu Erni was causing trouble behind her back.
Liu Xiaoru was not aware of the discord within the Gu family, so she persuaded her: "Sister, Niu Niu has said that we can make money by doing business. When we make money, we can buy clothes and sweets for Niu Niu. Then we can dress up and go out, for sure." She is the cutest little lady.”
Zhang Yunniang declined: "She is still young and she is just joking. Why do you take it seriously?"
But Liu Xiaoru insisted: "I don't care. Niuniu has the final say here. Let's sum up these days and see what kind of business we do. The money will be placed with you first, and it will be treated as my capital investment!" "
After saying this, Liu Xiaoru ran back without waiting for Zhang Yunniang to react.
Zhang Yunniang couldn't stop her in time, so she could only keep the money carefully, thinking about what she should do for Liu Xiaoru in the future.
Just for doing business, she thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't come up with a charter. With the mentality of giving it a try, she asked Niu Niu: "In your dream, what kind of business did Mom and Aunt Liu do?"
Niu Niu looked surprised and said, "I just said, my mother sells delicious food, very, very delicious food!"
Zhang Yuniang was stunned for a moment, then thought back carefully, she realized that Niuniu had indeed focused on describing the delicacies she had eaten in her dream.
But her cooking skills were not very good, and Liu Xiaoru didn't seem to be outstanding in this aspect. Zhang Yuniang couldn't figure out what she relied on to make particularly delicious food.
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. After Gu Mingda came back and saw Niuniu playing with Gu Zhao in the yard, Zhang Yunniang whispered about what happened before and couldn't help but sigh:
"My craft can't make a lot of money. Maybe Niu Niu just had an ordinary dream this time."
Gu Mingda looked at Niuniu playing in the corner of the yard and felt that things were not that simple, but he didn't say much.
Now that the college examination was only three days away, Gu Mingda became more and more nervous day after day. He was not worried that his knowledge would not pass the test. He was only worried that his body would be in trouble, and he would get cold before the exam, or fall down. Category.
After Gu Mingda prepared all the things needed for the college examination, he did not leave the house again and waited peacefully for the college examination to arrive.
He didn't go out, but someone came into the yard.
Zhang Guangzong and Xiao Cai, the couple, followed Mrs. Qian and walked through the front yard towards the back yard.
Along the way, the couple looked ugly, looking at the house with critical eyes.
"If I really couldn't find a place to live, my husband would not live here. Your environment is much worse than the Tianzi room in Fu'an Inn, so the price has to be lowered." Xiao Cai's sharp voice The voice fell on everyone's ears.
Mrs. Qian looked embarrassed when she heard this and said, "Guest, my rent is already cheap enough. It really can't be lowered any further."
"If we can't surrender, then you have to prepare hot water and rice for us every day!" Ms. Cai demanded confidently.
Zhang Guangzong looked like he was a shopkeeper with no hands at all. He stood upright, holding a folding fan in his hand, and looked around as if unintentionally.
At this glance, it was clear that something was wrong.
His eyes suddenly stopped.
Gu Mingda has always been kind to others. He also loves his wife Zhang Yuniang very much, but he is extremely disgusted with his brother-in-law Zhang Guangzong.
He didn't like Zhang Guangzong before adopting Niuniu. After getting his lovely daughter, his dislike reached the extreme due to the unfair treatment his daughter received in the Zhang family.
"You won't know how to bark when you see your brother-in-law?" Gu Mingda asked casually.
Zhang Guangzong felt as if he had swallowed a fly, but despite the curious looks of others in the yard, he could only reluctantly call out "brother-in-law."
However, Zhang Yunniang also walked out of the house. After hearing that Mrs. Cai was still aggressively bullying Mrs. Qian, she immediately put on the posture of an eldest sister and scolded: "That's enough! Bully the old and the weak, this is how the family teaches you the rules." ?”
When Xiao Cai saw her, her expression was similar to that of Zhang Guangzong, and her aggrieved heart almost reached its peak.
Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief. The closer to the exam, the harder it was to find a new tenant. After all, it was already at this point that even the poorest scholars had found a place to stay.
She didn't want to keep a room empty, but she unexpectedly met Zhang Guangzong and his wife, who wanted to reduce the price and provide meals.
Mrs. Qian's rent is not high, and all she earns is hard-earned money.
Moreover, the other tenants paid the same price and did not provide meals. Mrs. Qian was afraid that if she agreed to Zhang Guangzong's request, the other tenants would follow her example and make trouble for her.
Gu Mingda could see through the embarrassment of Zhang Guangzong and his wife at a glance. The hospital examination was about to happen, but they had to find a new house. Most likely they had committed a crime and were kicked out. They should be more anxious to move in than Mrs. Qian, the landlord.
"If you think this house is too expensive, you can go out and find another house now. Mother-in-law, if you think it doesn't look good if it is empty, I will find another tenant for you." Gu Mingda said very considerately.
Zhang Guangzong became anxious when he heard this.
