Chapter 325: Hard to fawn over

Chapter 325: It’s hard to flatter

The things He Cui'er's family gave him were very ordinary, only six eggs and half a bowl of glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice has always been a valuable thing, and He Cuier had been talking about it for a long time before her mother agreed to give him this half bowl of glutinous rice.

"Aunt Gu, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival. This is a gift from my family to your family. Please accept it as a small gift." He Cuier said, taking out two five-poison sachets and handing them to Gu Daya: "These are I made the five-poison sachet for Aunt Gu and Sister Le to ward off evil spirits, please keep it."

Although He Cui'er wants to marry Qi Kangping so that she can have a relationship with Gu's workshop and live a good life. But she still remembered the loss she suffered at Gu Yumei's house. This time she did not dare to give five five-poison sachets, but only two to Gu Daya and Qi Kangle.

 Gu Daya was a little surprised to see He Cui'er speaking in a polite manner, and praised He Cui'er's mother: "Sister-in-law, your daughter is really quiet, she looks good."

 In fact, I think He Cuier, a country girl, has no need to talk like this, which sounds quite strange.

He Cui'er's mother laughed, showing her yellow teeth, and said to Gu Da Ya: "His aunt, I am not praising my Cui'er. This girl has been sensible since she was a child. Not only is she handy, but she is also good at housework. She does almost all the work at home, and she can also help take care of her nieces and nephews, so she is very capable."

The smile on Gu Daya's face did not change, but she was unhappy in her heart. This He Cui'er's mother was so confused that she couldn't even tell whether others were speaking sincerely or politely.

He Cuier blushed at what her mother said, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Mom, my daughter is not that good. Stop praising her. You don't have to make Aunt Gu laugh."

He Cui'er's mother was not happy and said: "What I said is the truth. Your Gu family aunt likes to hear it. How can she be a joke, right?"

Gu Daya smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law is right."

This is your daughter, you can praise her if you like.

Gu Daya didn't want to agree to He Cui'er's mother and daughter anymore, so she made an excuse and said: "My old thigh and foot are not good. It's time to change the medicine. I won't keep you here."

He Cui'er's mother heard Gu Daya talking about Qi Kangping and asked quickly: "Are his aunt and nephew's legs and feet okay?"

If someone becomes disabled or something, it would not be worthwhile for her Cui'er to marry her.

Gu Daya frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ping's legs and feet are recovering well. Sister-in-law, thank you for your troubles."

Her family would send Kang Ping and Kang Ming to Xuanhufang every ten days to have Dr. Wu look at their injuries on their hands and feet. Dr. Wu said that they were recovering well and if this continued, Kang Ping would not become a cripple, and Kang Ming would not become a cripple. handwriting will not be affected.

"That's good, that's good." He Cui'er's mother was as happy as if her son's hands and feet were healed, and she said pointedly: "With these nimble hands and feet, no one will tell you when you marry me in the future." .”

 “Mother!” He Cuier simply wanted to strangle his mother to death. What was her mother doing saying such a thing at this time?

She was worried that if she stayed any longer, Gu Daya would be unhappy with her mother, so she hurriedly said to her mother: "Mom, we have been out for a while, and there is still work to do at home, so let's go back first."

He Cui'er's mother heard this and was poked in the back by He Cui'er. She came to her senses and said hurriedly: "His aunt, we are going back first. You should be busy first."

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute." Gu Daya didn't like He Cui'er's family and didn't want to take the gift from He Cui'er's family in vain. She turned around and went to the kitchen, skewered a pound of braised dried beans and a pound of braised oil tofu with hay, and handed them to He Cui'er's mother: "This is my family's return gift. My sister-in-law will accept it and add two dishes tonight." As for the braised pork, Gu Daya didn't take it. He Cui'er's family is not worthy of her gift of meat.

He Cui'er's mother was so happy that she quickly took it and said with a smile: "His aunt, you are so polite, so I will accept it. You don't have to send it away, we can go back ourselves."

 After saying that, he took He Cuier and left Gu Daya's house happily.

He Cuier lowered her head and followed her mother with a bad expression. After returning home, she finally complained dissatisfied: "Mom, what you said today went too far. It would be bad if it made Gu Daya unhappy. .”

He Cui'er's mother shouted: "She's not happy yet? Our family has given us six eggs and half a bowl of glutinous rice. Both of these are expensive things. Apart from your grandma's family, who else has our family given such heavy gifts to?" How dare she not be happy with the festival?"

“To put it bluntly, her family came from famine and relied on Gu Dashan’s family to survive. If it weren’t for Gu Dashan’s family, her Gu Daya family would be beggars and beggars now.”

He Cui'er's mother entered the main room with two bunches of vegetable stew, put the vegetable stew into a pottery bowl, covered it with vegetable leaves, and put it in a vat of soybeans. She turned back and stared at several people with green eyes. The grandchildren said: "Don't eat it secretly. If anyone dares to eat it secretly, I will beat him to death!"

"I know, I know the milk." The three grandsons and one granddaughter responded, but their eyes were staring at the soybean vat and they were drooling. The older grandson was already planning to sneak a piece or lick it while his grandma was not around. , taste it too.

He Cuier was very dissatisfied with her mother's words: "Mom, why do our family want to marry the Gu Daya family? It's not because the Gu Dashan family, that workshop, the Gu Dashan family accounts for 40% of the dividends. If I can become Gu Dashan's nephew and daughter-in-law will become relatives of Gu's workshop. Then our family, grandma's family, aunt's family, uncle's family, and third uncle's family will all be able to work in Gu's workshop. A group of relatives will be able to work in Gu's workshop. Can make a fortune."

“So you just keep putting up with it and pretending, don’t let Gu Daya dislike you.”

He Cuier's mother said: "Okay, okay, can't I bear it anymore? According to me, you should go directly to seduce Gu Jin'an. If you capture him, you will be the young mistress of the workshop. Looking for Qi Kangping is just the owner of the workshop. My nephew and daughter-in-law can only benefit from it, but cannot share the money."

He Cui'er became angry when she heard this: "Mom, please stop talking, or if someone listens to you, Gu Jinli will chop you with a knife."

 Do you think she doesn’t want to marry Gu Jinan? But Gu Jinan also needs to like her. With her ability, the most she could do was hook up with a stupid and incompetent Qi Kangping, but she couldn't even hook up with Qi Kangming.

She was afraid that her mother would do something bad, so she added: "Mom, when you go to Gu Daya's house in the future, don't show any disdain for Qi Kangping, and don't ask about his injured leg, which will make it seem like it won't get better." Yes, Gu Daya will be unhappy."

"When you go outside to chat with those talkative women in the village, remember to say more good things about Gu Daya's family and Qi Kangping, so that Gu Daya's family and Gu Dashan's family know that our family does not look down on them, but truly admires them. .”

Although it is a bit late for her to start acting now, if she doesn't even do this, she won't be able to marry into the Qi family.

That Gu Daya is not an economical person, and he is very stubborn.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Do you still need to tell me about this?" He Cuier's mother urged He Cuier: "Hurry up and get Qi Kangping before October." Come on, otherwise our family won’t have the money to pay the corvee for your eldest brother.”
