Chapter 303 is only in the identity of Mrs. Gu.
The next day, Gu Danxue was still helping Aunt Hu set up a stall and chop vegetables, but it was obvious that she was a little out of her mind.
Huahua barked several times before she heard it. The little girl tilted her head and asked curiously, "Auntie, are you unhappy?"
Gu Danxue forced a smile: "...No, my aunt is not unhappy."
Hua Hua puffed up her cheeks: "It's a lie, my mother does the same every time she has something on her mind."
Aunt Hu glared at her, "Go away, you child is still in charge of adults' affairs!"
Aunt Hu took the knife from Gu Danxue's hand, "Go back and rest for a while if you're tired, there's not much business in the middle of the day."
Gu Danxue said "hmm", sitting on the side of the pony in a daze,
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, and the old lady selling rice cakes came over and lowered her voice mysteriously and excitedly:
"Hey, have you heard? That Feng Papi of Fa Caiju suddenly went crazy for some reason, saying that a woman wanted to cut his tongue, probably something dirty..."
Aunt Hu spat: "It deserves it, how much evil did Feng Papi usually do! I have pity on the Du Juan family at the end of the street. If it weren't for him, how could the Du Juan man have walked on that road! This kind of person has done a lot of bad things. If you don’t go down, you’re going to claim your life ahead of time…”
The two murmured vigorously, Gu Danxue was sitting by the side, pinching a piece of paper unconsciously in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking,
So she naturally didn't know that the Feng Papi they were talking about was the steward who was in Fa Caiju yesterday, and she would never know that the steward wanted to destroy her.
…
The sun is setting, and the luxury of the whole street has just begun. Aunt Hu closed the stall and went home under the surprised eyes of several colleagues.
After returning home, he cooked a table of good dishes for the first time. Huahua sniffed the aroma wafting from the kitchen, and kept swallowing:
"Is today a good day? Mother is so generous?"
Aunt Hu glared at her daughter angrily. "Usually you eat too little or something!"
Gu Danxue helped to light the fire, just watching all this quietly.
When the food was served on the table, Mrs. Hu took out a bottle of wine, "Our mother and I can live so well these days, all thanks to my sister. Come, let me toast my sister."
Gu Danxue hurriedly stood up and took the jug: "Sister-in-law, you are welcome."
Lifting her head, looking into Aunt Hu's eyes, she seemed to understand something.
Aunt Hu didn't speak any more, she just ate quietly, and helped the two of them pick up food from time to time, only six-year-old Huahua didn't realize it, and ate happily.
After dinner, Gu Danxue helped Aunt Hu clean up the dishes. In the kitchen, the two silently cleaned the dishes.
Aunt Hu suddenly said: "Sister, this is not a good place, go home as soon as possible!"
Gu Danxue put the bowl away and asked, "When did sister-in-law find out?"
Aunt Hu smiled: "Although I don't know what's going on with you, sister, but your words and demeanor don't look like a woman who has lived a hard life. At first I only thought you were some distressed lady from other places, and I hesitated for a while. Should I keep you?
But since you came, the business at the cold dish stand has inexplicably improved. I know my own skills, and those customers who come to buy cold dishes are all unfamiliar faces. "
She wiped her hands with her apron: "You may not know that street hawkers like us will come to collect protection fees every day, but since you followed me out of the stall, Master Bao's group of people have never seen it again." appeared.
So I guess, you should be a lady from a noble family who came out to relax. "
Gu Danxue drooped his eyelashes: "It counts!"
She looked rough due to years of hard work. Aunt Hu with a sharp look. She squeezed the note and said slowly:
But I don't want to go back, because being in that house always makes me breathless. "
Another reason is that she said that to her father that day. It's like tearing her face apart, and now she's going back, she still doesn't know how to face it.
If it is said that before she came to Anqingfang, she was in despair, and the future was full of endless darkness.
But after half a month here, she has seen many things that she has never been exposed to before, which gave her some hope for the future, but she was also at a loss in her heart. She didn't know what she would do next, and what would happen in the future?
Continue to return to the Hou Mansion, as before, and follow his father's arrangement to get married and have children. or something else...
After listening, Aunt Hu pointed to herself and asked Gu Danxue: "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Gu Danxue didn't know why, but she still replied honestly: "Sister-in-law is straightforward, diligent and capable..."
Aunt Hu interrupted her wordlessly: "What are you talking about? Just say I'm hot!"
She put down the rag and sat down on the pony saddle, "But you may not know that when I was a girl, I was notoriously stubborn in the village. I only knew how to work hard, my brothers and sisters ostracized me, and my parents ignored me.
When he was old, he was sold to a hunter in the village who had no father or mother for five taels of silver. Not two years after marriage, Huahua's father met Xiong Blind while hunting and disappeared. I carried Huahua, who was less than one year old, back to my mother's house, but I didn't even let her in.
I carried Huahua on my back and begged all the way to the city. In order for Huahua to survive, I slept in ruined temples, picked up bad food, and even snatched food from dogs. Because of my stutter, I can scold people for most of the day.
I say this not to make you sympathize with me, nor to let you learn from me.
I haven't read any books, and I don't understand any major principles. You nobles envy us for living freely, but we low-level people look forward to being able to live without worry. Life is made by people,"
"Yes, life is made by people!" Gu Danxue murmured and repeated this sentence.
She can understand what Aunt Hu wants to express, whether it is a noble mansion or a small family, can life be good? Depends on your own personality and attitude towards life.
…
Before it was dark, Aunt Hu sent Gu Danxue to the entrance of the alley,
Gu Danxue touched Huahua with red eyes. "If sister-in-law is willing, when I go back, someone can take you and Huahua into the mansion, or help sister-in-law find a good place to stay."
Aunt Hu waved her hand and smiled heartily: "No, people's greed is uncontrollable in the so-called promotion of kindness and hatred. If I accept the money given by my sister and enjoy a better life, I may be ashamed." Want more. Rather than being unrecognizable by then, it's better to just meet by chance."
Being able to say this obviously means that she is not indifferent, but her transparency and open-mindedness made her make a rational decision.
Gu Danxue didn't say any more, and waved to the mother and daughter: "I will come to see you again."
Paused, she added: "Only as Lady Gu."
Aunt Hu did not refuse this time, she smiled and said that when she came next time, she would make potstickers and pancakes for her to eat.
The mother and daughter watched Gu Danxue leave, Huahua asked with red eyes, "Why can't we leave aunt here?"
Aunt Hu rubbed the little girl's head: "Because she doesn't belong here."
Huahua nodded half-understood, the two returned home, and saw Hu Yong, who hadn't come home for a few days, staggeringly pushed open the door,
Behind him, followed by a group of seven or eight casino thugs.
…
Gu Danxue turned around the alley, wondering how to go back, when she looked up, she saw a person leaning against the corner of the opposite wall.
Wearing a moon-white cross-neck long dress, her hair stood up high, without any decorations on it, but it didn't affect her appearance in the slightest. It was Xing Qi who was "redempted",
Xing Qi straightened up and walked towards her: "Girl, since you redeemed me, then I will be yours from now on, and you can do whatever you want with me."
