Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 165 Solution

When Widow Zhao heard what Zhao Dani said, she felt a moment of panic in her heart.

She really didn't know whose child this was, but the other children were all under strict control by their wives, and it was a blessing to have a few cents or a dollar in their pockets. Only Gu Mancang was the easiest to control, as his wife didn't care about him and was very generous.

Gritting her teeth to steady herself, Widow Zhao fiercely glared at the two men standing together and whispering, cursing, "I'm telling you, Gu Mancang, don't even think about shirking your debt. If you dare to default on your debt today, I'll go find the team leader and tell everyone in the village about our relationship. I don't have a good reputation in this village anyway, and I'm not afraid of those who wear shoes."

When Gu Mancang heard this, he suddenly lost the confidence to talk to Zhao Dani and looked at Zhao Dani helplessly.

Zhao Dani winked at the couple's behavior and said, "Hurry up and call your wife out to deal with this."

Zhao Dani had to admit that her daughter-in-law Zhang Qiaomei was quick to speak and react, so it would be most appropriate for her to handle this troublesome matter.

Gu Mancang glanced at the closed door, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in with gritted teeth.

He was also unwilling to bow to this woman who looked down on him, but now that he had met Widow Zhao, the plague god who could not be gotten rid of, he really had no other choice.

The door was ajar. Gu Mancang pushed it gently, and the wooden door creaked and was pushed open from the outside.

Zhang Qiaomei guessed that it was Gu Mancang. She didn't even raise her head, but just lowered her head and busied herself with needlework in her hands.

Gu Mancang walked up to Zhang Qiaomei awkwardly and said, "Wife..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qiaomei interrupted him: "Stand aside, you're blocking the light."

The windows of the room were small and there was not much light. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Qiaomei did not go out and lit the lights early. Gu Mancang stood there, completely blocking the faint light of the kerosene lamp behind him.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Mancang's face changed, but when he thought about what he was about to say, he had to patiently move his body to the side and reveal it.

Zhang Qiaomei continued to focus her eyes on the needlework in her hands, and had no intention of talking to Gu Mancang anymore.

Gu Mancang watched for a long time, but finally couldn't wait any longer, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Wife, I was indeed sorry for what happened before. Can you help me solve this matter today?"

Zhang Qiaomei finally put down what she was holding, raised her head and fixed her gaze on Gu Mancang, sneering.

"Gu Mancang, how dare you say such things? Do you remember what you said? Widow Zhao is gentle, Widow Zhao is virtuous, Widow Zhao wouldn't be as petty as me. Why aren't you gentle and virtuous today? Are you starting to be petty with you?"

When Gu Mancang heard this, he knew that Zhang Qiaomei was still holding a grudge, and she would definitely not help him until she let go of this grudge. He had no choice but to turn the topic to Gu Jun again.

"Wife, if this matter gets out, Junzi will lose face, right? Just think of it as Junzi's sake and help me this time. As long as this time is over, I will definitely behave myself."

Zhang Qiaomei secretly hated Gu Mancang's shamelessness. If this matter was not handled properly, their family would be pointed at and criticized whenever they went out.

Seeing that Zhang Qiaomei's expression had relaxed, he quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Wife, this money is for you. This is all I have. I give it all to you."

Zhang Qiaomei glanced sideways and did not take it. Gu Mancang tactfully put the money on the pillow beside her and stood there motionless.

During these few short minutes, Zhang Qiaomei thought a lot. After a long while, she finally got off the kang in response to Gu Mancang's earnest hope.

Gu Mancang came over eagerly to help Zhang Qiaomei, but Zhang Qiaomei pushed him away: "Get out of here."

Even though Gu Mancang was angry at this moment, he didn't dare to show it. He could only stand there and wait for Zhang Qiaomei to put on her shoes and walk out of the house, and he followed behind Zhang Qiaomei.

Widow Zhao, who was sitting in the middle of the yard, originally thought that Gu Mancang had gone into the house to get the money. She was secretly happy that she was about to get two hundred yuan, but she didn't expect that when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhang Qiaomei walking out of the house and walking straight towards her.

Widow Zhao was really panicked this time. After Gu Mancang had a falling out with her wife because of her, Zhang Qiaomei came to find her. She had run into someone else in her house. If she really told this matter now, she would be in trouble.

But when she thought about the two hundred yuan that was about to come, Widow Zhao felt unwilling. It was a fact that Gu Mancang and she were not clear about each other, and she couldn't deny it anyway.

So she pretended to be calm and looked at Zhang Qiaomei, waiting for her to walk up to her.

Zhang Qiaomei walked slowly to Widow Zhao, stared at her for a long time with a half-smile, and then said, "Is the child really the child of such a coward?"

Zhang Qiaomei pointed at Gu Mancang who was standing beside her and said.

Widow Zhao made up her mind and said through gritted teeth, "It's his. If it weren't for him, would I have been able to conceive a child myself?"

Zhang Qiaomei continued calmly, "Oh, so that's how it is. That's the second son of the Zhang family at the head of the village, and the Liu family at the west of the village..."

"Ah! Enough!" Widow Zhao screamed, interrupting what Zhang Qiaomei was about to say. She quickly stood up and turned away, not caring about the two hundred yuan at all.

She had thought that her affairs with these people were kept secret. Now she just wanted to use the matter of the child to secretly blackmail them. If Zhang Qiaomei told everyone about it, how could she make trouble?

I originally thought that Gu Mancang had the easiest time, so I went to his house first. Unexpectedly, his wife who never cared about anything turned out to be a tough guy and investigated everything about me.

Seeing Widow Zhao running away in a hurry, everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I don’t have to pay 200 yuan, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pay that much even if I spent all my family savings.

Zhao Hongmei felt very ashamed of this matter. Her father-in-law actually did such a thing. He never came out of his room from beginning to end, but just secretly looked outside through the window. Now that everyone had returned to the room, she went out to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Widow Zhao started making trouble at around four in the afternoon, and the family hasn't had a single bite to eat since then.

If it was Liu Xiaoxi who worked hard at home before, it is herself now.

My mother-in-law doesn't care about important matters now, and everything is arranged by the old lady. However, the old lady doesn't dare to arrange things for my mother-in-law. After all the calculations, I am the only one who can do the work at home.

Zhao Hongmei looked at the messy house and the traces of Widow Zhao rolling around on the loess in the yard, and a faint sense of regret welled up in her heart.

How could I have been so blind at that time? I married a bastard like Gu Jun and entered such a confused family.
