Chapter 371: Xu Wang was beaten

Chapter 371 Wang Xu was beaten

 Gu Yumei’s face was red, not only shy, but also excited.

"It's almost possible." Mrs. Chen glanced at Gu Yumei and said dissatisfied: "Look at how excited you are, can you be more reserved?"

Gu Yumei put away her smile, lowered her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Chen took a small copper cup with a capacity of one tael and scooped two copper cups of cloves into a small cloth bag. Then she took another small cloth bag and scooped two more copper cups of cloves into it.

 In the past, they used iron scales to prepare spices, which was too troublesome. At the end of June, Mr. Qi from Fucheng came to pick up the goods and sent a box of small copper cups to their workshop.

The largest capacity of these small copper cups is five taels, and the smallest one is only one cent. Mr. Qi has ordered ten small copper cups of each capacity. They now use spices without weighing them. It is much more convenient to scoop directly from a small copper cup with the same capacity.

 Chen moved quickly and quickly scooped up nearly twenty bags of cloves. Seeing that Gu Yumei was still lowering her head and blushing, she said angrily: "Hurry up and put the cinnamon in. If you can't finish today's work, don't eat."

Gu Yumei hurriedly took a small copper cup with a capacity of two coins, scooped a cup of cinnamon powder and put it into a small cloth bag with cloves. After putting it in, Gu Defa tied it up with a small hemp rope and put it in the basket.

 When the basket is full, push it to the corner of the main room and put it there.

 Gu Yumei was still thinking about whether her marriage to the Wan family would come true. When she saw that Mrs. Chen said "it's close to possible," she stopped talking. She became a little anxious and asked, "Second aunt...can it really happen?"

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at her: "You really care about the Wan family. Why didn't you care about the Yuan family earlier? If you could be more considerate of the Yuan family, the Yuan family's marriage might not be so bad."

Although the Wan family is a scholar's family and lives in the town, it is considered a high achievement for her family to marry the Wan family. But Mrs. Chen still prefers the Yuan family. She feels that the Yuan family is more like a family that lives a normal life, unlike Wan Xiucai, who is always careless and says things that make people sleepy.

Gu Yumei was most annoyed with Mrs. Chen mentioning the Yuan family, and said unhappily: "Second aunt, what happened with the Yuan family is over, why do you still mention the Yuan family, can't you not mention it? It's not that I'm not happy, it was the Yuan family who refused first. Our family."

When she said this, Gu Yumei felt a little guilty. Others didn't know why the Yuan family rejected the marriage, but she knew it in her heart.

When Wan Lifang sent his brother and sister to the town, they were bumped into by Chang Errui. At that time, Wan Lifang was still holding her arm. Men and women couldn't understand each other. She should have pushed her away at that time, but she didn't in order to be angry. Push away Wanli Fang.

I originally thought that Chang Errui would come over to flatter her when he saw how popular she was. Unexpectedly, the man was so arrogant that he ignored her at all.

Within a few days, the Yuan family rejected the marriage between the two families.

 She felt that she had done something wrong that day after being rejected by the Yuan family, but she wanted to save face and was afraid that she would be beaten by Mr. Chen if she told the truth, so she kept it secret.

After complaining for a few words, Mrs. Chen stopped talking about the Yuan family's affairs. After all, the marriage was not consummated. If she talked too much, the woman would suffer.

“Your father has been to the store twice recently. Each time, not long after he arrived at the store to deliver goods, Wan Xiucai and his son came to talk to your father and second uncle.”

"Your father and your second uncle are not fools. They naturally know that the Wan family has specially sent servants to guard you quietly. They are just waiting for your father to go to the shop so that they can rush over to talk to your father."

"Wan Xiucai is not as noble as before. Your father and your second uncle think this is the Wan family's respect for our family and they really want to get married with our family, so they want to let go." Gu Yumei was very happy to hear this. He felt that it was particularly honorable: "The Wan family is worthy of being a family of scholars. The rules and etiquette are better than those of farmers."

Ms. Chen heard this harshly, glared at her and said, "We haven't gotten engaged yet, so don't turn your elbows out."

What rules and etiquette are better than those of farmers? Their family has been farmers for generations. Who will be harmed if the girl dies?

"Your father doesn't have any objections to Wan's father and son, but our family has never met Wan Xiucai's wife, so we don't know what she is like. If she is a poisonous person, this marriage will not work."

 This is why she said that the marriage might happen, but not definitely.

Gu Yumei said hurriedly: "Mother Wanjia is a scholar, she must be a well-educated and kind-hearted person. How can she be poisonous? Second Aunt, you think too much."

Mrs. Chen raised the small copper cup in her hand, knocked Gu Yumei's hand, and said angrily: "I think too much and it's not just for you. Do you think it's easy to be a wife? What if your future mother-in-law is a poisonous person? How did you die? Do not know at all!"

With this **** girl’s stupidity, she will become someone’s wife in the future, and she doesn’t know how she will be bullied.

When Mrs. Chen thought of Gu Yumei's temper and her stupidity, she was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore. She just immersed herself in her work. Seeing that the spices she had picked out were almost finished, she said to her: "Go to the workshop and have a look. There is also a grinding mill." Do you have any good cloves or cinnamon? If you have, pick up a load."

Gu Yumei didn't want to go. The workers in the workshop were all rough men, and the weather was hot now. She had to cover her nose every time she went back, or she would be suffocated by the smell of those people's sweat.

 But she did not dare to go against Chen, so she could only pick up the empty basket and go to the workshop.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop, he saw Mrs. Xu Wang lying in Gu Dafu’s arms.

Gu Yumei’s eyes widened in shock...Xu Wang and her father?

Gu Yumei's mind was confused for a moment, and then she was filled with endless anger. She threw away the burden on her shoulders, rushed over, pulled Xu Wang out of Gu Dafu's hands, raised her hand and gave Xu Wang two slaps: " You bitch, you shameless thing, if you dare to flirt with my father, I will beat you to death!"

Gu Dafu was stunned and hurriedly came over to stop Gu Yumei: "Sister Mei, stop it, how can you hit someone?!"

Gu Yumei shouted: "I just want to beat this shameless stinky widow to death!"

After saying that, he slapped Wang Xu twice.

Xu Wang was already dizzy due to heatstroke, but she was slapped four times in succession by Gu Yumei. She couldn't even stand and fell directly to the ground.

Xu Qing was putting Xu Wang's fried tofu into a basket. When he saw his mother being beaten, he immediately rushed over and protected Xu Wang's body. He cried and shouted to Gu Yumei: "Don't beat my mother. Don’t hit my mother.”

"Little bastard, get out of my way." Gu Yumei became even more angry when she saw Xu Qing, pointed at Xu Qing and said to Gu Dafu: "Dad, you saw it, this shameless woman just wants to seduce you, so that she can bring this A **** marries into our family and takes away our money."

"Shut up!" When Gu Dafu heard Gu Yumei's words, he was trembling with anger: "Is this what you, a girl, said?"

"Oh, Mrs. Xu Wang can do it, why can't I say it?" Gu Yumei felt that Mrs. Xu was interested in her family's money and wanted to flatter her father so that she could marry him and share the money. She was so angry that she Xu Qing stopped and shouted: "Get out of here, or I'll beat you too."
