Chapter 380 Punishment

When Gu Yumei heard this, she was so happy that she hurriedly asked: "Third Grandma, are you telling the truth? Our family won't need to add seasonings anymore?"

Great, she is tired of mixing spices every day.

Ms. Chen looked at Gu Yumei's smiling face, frowned and cursed: "Why are you happy?"

How can there be any good thing in not letting their family work and only getting money? San Auntie must still have something to say.

As expected, the third grandmother said: "But you have to take over Xu Wang's job and fry tofu for the workshop."

The third grandma looked at Gu Yumei and said, "Especially Sister Mei, you work slowly. Our fried tofu is easy to sell. You have to get up early to work, otherwise you won't be able to deliver the goods to the customers in time."

Gu Yumei's smile froze. After a while, she realized what she was doing and shouted: "You want me to go to the workshop to fry tofu?!"

The third grandma nodded: "Well, from now on, your family will do the work. Your second aunt will be working at the stall the next day. You have to work harder yourself, otherwise no one will help you."

Gu Yumei cried: "I don't want to do it. I mix spices well at home. Why do you want me to go to the workshop to fry tofu? What kind of weather is it today? It can heat people to death. I, a boss lady, go to work with those workers What does life look like?"

While wiping her tears, she said: "I'm engaged, and now I'm considered a spoiled guest in the family. How can I go to work in the workshop? The person I want to marry is the scholar's family. If the Wan family knows that I go to the workshop to work with a group of workers, What will Wanjia think of me?"

"Besides, isn't Mrs. Xu Wang doing all the work of frying tofu? Why doesn't she do it now? She wants to match my spices... wuwuwu, I won't go!"

The third grandma was most bothered by Gu Yumei's tenderness. When she heard this, she said, "It was you who beat Mrs. Xu Wang indiscriminately and said those words that slandered her reputation. It's hard for her to work in the workshop now." Well, you caused the trouble, so you should bear it. There is no good thing in the world that only makes the family suffer and suffers, but you don't get any punishment."

Gu Yumei was confused, this... She thought that her father and second uncle had already gone to apologize, and the family had been fined money, so the matter was over, but she didn't expect that it would still be difficult to get through.

Gu Yumei was angry, glanced around the room, pointed at Gu Jinli and asked angrily: "Gu Xiaoyu, it was you who came up with the bad idea, right? It must be you. You just don't want to see me well. When you see me getting engaged to Wanjia, what will you do in the future?" I married a scholar and became a young mistress, and you deliberately teased me...ah!"

Before she could say anything, Gu Jinli threw a stone at Gu Yumei's hand, almost breaking Gu Yumei's fingers.

Gu Yumei covered her swollen finger and cried: "Grandpa and grandma, you have to make the decision for me, Gu Xiaoyu will beat me!"

The third grandma had a headache due to her quarrel, and said to Chen impatiently: "That's the thing. From tomorrow on, the job of frying tofu will be yours. Nowadays, the fried tofu is selling well, and you have to fry more than one every day. Qianjin, you have to go to the workshop to work at nine o'clock in the morning, you can't be too late."

Finally, he warned: "The trouble was caused by your family members. You have to do this work. If you don't do it, you can just quit the workshop. For the sake of our fellow tribesmen, the old lady will spend a few dollars from her own private money." I’ll give you two pieces of silver, and you can use it to make a living.”

Gu Yumei was crying hard, but she was confused when she heard this. If she didn't do the job of frying tofu, she would have to quit the workshop?

Mr. Chen was shocked, knowing that the third concubine was deliberately trying to deal with Gu Yumei, so she quickly agreed: "Okay, don't worry, third concubine, we will definitely do a good job in frying the tofu and never cause any more trouble to the workshop."

 After saying that, he dragged Gu Yumei, who was still trying to make trouble, and ran away. He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, this dead girl would make trouble again.

The Third Grandma looked at the backs of Mrs. Chen and Gu Yumei, shook her head and said, "Sister Mei, this girl still needs a lesson. I hope she can make some progress after suffering this time, otherwise, she will have to suffer the consequences for the rest of her life."

 It is said that Sister Mei became like this because her family pampered her.

This family member is not only Gu Dafu and his wife, but also the village chief and his wife. Village Chief Gu doted on Gu Yumei because he had many grandchildren but few granddaughters. He wanted to raise her up and marry her into a scholar's family.

When I was in my hometown, the villagers also loved to fawn over the village head Gu’s family. Every girl in the village flattered Gu Yumei, flattering her so much that they really thought they were some pretty girls.

After speaking to Gu Yumei, the third grandma looked at Gu Jinli and Gu Jinxiu and nodded with satisfaction: "It's better for us Xiaoyu and Sister Xiu."

Although Xiaoyu is a bit fierce, you can't do anything without being fierce on the way to escape. Although Sister Xiu's temper is a bit soft, she doesn't do anything and knows how to help the family.

 …

After Gu Yumei came back from Gu Jinli's house, she cried for a long time, but she didn't care how much she cried. Before dawn the next day, Mrs. Chen dragged her out of the quilt and dragged her to work in the workshop.

Xu Wang came to teach them how to fry tofu, and taught them very carefully: "The weather is hot, and tofu is easy to go rancid. The purpose of making fried tofu in the workshop is to prevent the tofu from going rancid, so the fried tofu must be fried crispy, not just until it is slightly brown." Just fish it out, tofu like that won’t last long.”

Hearing this, Gu Yumei wanted to strangle Mrs. Xu Wang to death, but she was tightly held by Mrs. Chen. Even if she wanted to rush up and hit him, she couldn't.

 Frying tofu is very simple. Xu Wang only taught them for two quarters of an hour. After frying two pots of oily tofu for them, Chen learned it.

Mrs. Xu Wang saluted towards their bodies: "Grandma and Miss Dong, if nothing happens, I will leave first."

Xu Wang is a servant. Although she is not a servant bought by Gu Dafu's family, her family is grateful that Gu Jinli's family can buy them, so they call them boss.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "I've learned it, I've learned it. You've worked hard, go home and rest quickly."

Hearing this, Wang Xu turned around and left.

Gu Yumei stared at her back and cursed: "You Meizi, you know how to pretend to be pitiful!"

Ms. Chen pulled her hard and said angrily: "Why are you shouting? Hurry up and get to work. Now this work requires you to do it in a real way. Don't try to fish like a fish with spices."

 Think she doesn’t know?

When she was not at home when she went to the shop, Fa Ge'er prepared 70% of the spices at home. Gu Yumei fished in troubled waters every day. It was estimated that she would come out of the house to prepare spices with Fa Ge'er soon after she came back from town.

Gu Yumei had no choice but to fry the tofu, but the oil pan was scalding hot and looked scary. Sometimes the oil would jump out of it, and her hands were burnt with blisters by the oil stars.

She cried and said she wouldn't do it, but Mrs. Chen brought a stick. As soon as she said she didn't want to do it, Mrs. Chen hit her with the stick. After being beaten several times, Gu Yumei became afraid and worried that there were other people in the workshop. She didn't want to It's embarrassing and I can only accept my fate as fried tofu.

 …

While Gu Yumei was crying and working in the workshop, Ni Ruiniang was also crying to Mrs. Ni.
