"Your son just started studying, he hasn't recognized words yet, so how can he become an official. You dream too big." Gu Chunzhu covered his lips with her sleeve and laughed lowly.

The onlookers also laughed.

"Hahaha, this Su Ersao is really interesting. A seven-year-old scholar,you dream too big"

"Haha, I'm not sure i i'll have this same fortune of having a scholar!"

"Some people just want to eat shrimp, and yet talking nonsense. ”

Qiu Shi was left dumbfounded by Gu Chunzhu ’s and the crowds sarcastic remarks. She blushed and said: “ You, you, you ... you even curse my son to fail, Whats so good about this shrimp. You old hen who can't lay eggs, you even raise two fake children, to give you a pension. "

"An old hen who does not lay eggs" This sentence seem to awaken Gu Chunzhu's memory.

In order to maintain Su Wangqin's dignity, she took all the problems to herself. His parents used this kind of speech to insult her again and again. She unconsciously almost broke her last strand of patience.

"If you don't want me to hit you, get lost now!" Gu Chunzhu narrowed his eyes and waved the fishing rod.

The earthworm on the hook flicked on Qiu shi's face and almost entered her mouth.

Qui Shi dodged and popped out a few meters away. Seeing Chunzhu's cannibalistic eyes, she stepped back a few meters and walked away.

"This stingy bitch, if you don't want to give some, then dont. I'll tell mother that you are loyal to both of them. "

Gu Chunzhu looked at her coldly until she left.

The onlooker mutted in a low voice,

"This Su Ersao's temperament is really bad!"

"So what if he has a son, she's really something."

"She speak really unpleasant. "

Some of them also talked and watched Gu Chunzu's expression secretly.

Gu Chunzhu remained cold and distant. When Qiu shi came to trouble her, no one came forward to help her say a word and now they're provoking her.

She ignored everyone and continued to sit cross-legged on the big bluestone, intently fishing for her shrimps. The onlookers soon felt bored and dispersed to continue their laundry

After a while, Gu Chunzhu caught a lot of shrimp, almost half a barrel, enough for two to three bowls of cooking.

The sun hung high in the sky when she decided to leave but a petite tan woman came forward.

It was Fan, Su's family third daughter-in-law. She has two daughters, her eldest daughter Su Rufeng seven years old and her second daughter Su Mudan, five years old.

The old lady Su was particularly not fond of this daughter in law. Fan was treated extremely inferior in the Su family. They often let her work hard like a horse in the household.

Gu Chunzhu didn't have a good impression on a woman who was not self-improving. She carried the wooden bucket and walked away but immediately was stopped by Fan shi "Eldests sis... did you see the clothes."

"There." She pointed to the tub beside.

Qiu shi was scared away by her, and her laundry and tub was left by the river. Gu Chunzhu didn't pay attention to it.

"Thank you sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law." Fan shi rejoiced.

When she saw no one was around, she took out two taros on his sleeve and handed it to Gu Chunzhu, whispering: "I have nothing good. Bring this to Xiaocheng and An'an to eat. "

Gu Chunzhu didn't want to have any close relationship with the Su family.

Instead, she looked at Fan Shi in surprise: "It was her who lost her clothes and basin. Why was it you that was looking for it? You can keep your taro. Take it back to your children. They can't eat anything all year round. . "

Those words made Fan shi's eyes turn red, she said, pulling Gu Chunzhu:

"Sister-in-law, you still know me."

"I don't understand you, I will go home now to cook." Gu Chunzhu pulled out his hand uncomfortably. She gave Fan a glance, this woman was used to being treated like a horse for the Su family, and naturally she would not change her attitude just because of what she said.

Fan's shi felt wronged, moving his head to the side with a grievous look.

Gu Chunzhu also knew why Mrs. Su didn't like her, she hurriedly accelerated her pace to return home.

(T/N: Idk i feel bad for this Fan woman. Why do you have to be so snobby mc? 🙄)

As soon as she walked to the gate of their courtyard An An shouted, "Mother ---" The little milky sound made Gu Chunzhu feel like drinking honey, she felt much happier than seeing people from the Su family.

"An An, guess what did your mother catch?" Gu Chunzhu put the barrel down and rubbed his aching arm.

"It's shrimps. My brother came out to see what mother had caught!"

An An reached out and touched the shrimp in the water. The shrimp bounced off in shock, and An An "giggled" with her string of silver bells voice.

Xiaocheng walked out with the Taomi basket and squatted down to see the shrimp.

"Xiaocheng, add some brown rice. At noon we will cook brown rice to eat." Gu Chunzhu caught alot of shrimp and is in a good mood, thinking about fishing again in the afternoon to sell it. The children can't always eat porridge, how can they grow tall and strong.

"Is this enough?"

Xiaocheng frowned slightly.

"Enough, your mother has money, go quickly." Gu Chunzhu patted her chest, praising Xiaocheng in her heart, her eyes inadvertently glanced over the vegetable field.

The vegetable field was reclaimed and bare, without a weed and a stone, it was black empty soil, Gu Chunzhu remembered the vegetable seedlings.

She took a bowl and filled it with more than 20 shrimps and walked towards the yard of the neighbor next door. Su Su Wangqin said.

It was the home of Fu's sister-in-law.

The yard of her house is the same as that of the Su family. It is surrounded by a bamboo fence and has also a wooden door, but the vegetable field in the yard was full of green vegetables.

What is more enviable is the blue brick building of her house, unlike the thatched house of the Su family.

Gu Chunzhu withdrew her envious gaze, wondering how to make more money, she'willing to endure hardship and soon be able to own such a house. She knocked on the door and shouted "Sister-in-law, are you at home?"

(T/N: they're not actually related just a courtesy call)

Fu came out of the house and was not surprised to see Gu Chunzhu.

"I mentioned the vegetable seedlings to you at that time, and thought you'll be thin skinned to accept. ”

Gu Chunzhu found Fu Sister-in-law's speech refreshing, she then handed over the bowl ,

“It is to borrow, this is the shrimp I caught in the morning, give it for Da Zhuang to eat. "

Da Zhuang is the youngest son of Fu's sister-in-law, he's Xiao Cheng's playmate.

No need, you keep them for two children, they're so thin. I also know that their stepmother dont treat them well. Both children are obedient, you have to be more patient, treat them well, and Wang Qin will remember your kindness and treat you well. "

Gu Chunzhu turned red. When the original owner used to hit the child it was Fu's sister-in-law who took care of them. She didn't know how to reply, she can only respond in a clever way: "Ahh, not gonna happen again, I was confused before. I want to change now. There is still a bowl of shrimp left at home. You must accept this otherwise it will not be easy to take your vegetable seedlings. "

"Okay , then I will accept it. You have to live a good life, I will get the vegetable seedlings for you. "

Fu sister-in-law smiled. She cant help but be happy for the children, she hopes the Su family's life really gets better.
