Early the next morning, it was getting dark. Father Lu and He Feng went to the county town to sell steamed buns, but they hadn't come back yet.

The carriage driven by Father Lu was accompanied by the cook.

They sold steamed buns this morning and did not come back for lunch at noon because they planned to make sauce-flavored pancakes in the afternoon and try selling them.

As for He Dachun, who usually drove the carriage, after breakfast, he took Helin, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Dong directly to the old house.

Following He Feng's orders, they had to pack up the old house today and let Lu Xiaohong and Xu Xiaobao move in.

Lu Xiaohong had breakfast and had nothing to do, so she went over with Xu Xiaobao in her arms to join in the fun and watch them clean up.

"Hey, Mrs. Qiu, this place hasn't been cleaned up yet. Please wipe it down quickly. These bowls are too broken. Just throw them away. Go to my elder brother and get me some new bowls."

"Mrs. Dong, these furniture are too broken. Go to the village to find a carpenter and make me some new chairs and tables."

"Helin, I've been looking at the hay on the roof for a long time. Let's go get some hay and repair the roof again!"

"..."

It was a good thing that Lu Xiaohong didn't go. Now that she was gone, she stood in the courtyard of the old house and kept ordering the servants of the Lu family to work, which made Mrs. Qiu feel a little angry.

Mrs. Qiu muttered to Mrs. Dong: "Who does she really think she is? Is she our master? We just followed the madam's instructions and came to help her clean up the house. The madam didn't say that we would clean it up to this point." For my sake!”

She had to change the hay on the roof, build new furniture, and even asked them to go back to Lu's house to get new bowls for her. How dare she say that!

For those who don’t know, do you think she has such a good relationship with the Lu family? Mrs. Qiu knew something inside, and she really didn't like Lu Xiaohong.

Mrs. Dong also had dull eyes. She glanced at Lu Xiaohong, who was directing Helin to work, and whispered: "Isn't that right? Madam didn't say she would clean up like this. I think I'll just deal with it first and wait until Madam comes back. Report it to Madam and we’ll see what to do.”

After the two agreed, they made up their minds. As for Lu Xiaohong's request, both of them agreed: they could only make a decision after the master and his wife came back and reported it to them.

This made Lu Xiaohong so angry that she felt a little angry. She felt that Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Dong were just servants in her eldest brother's house. How dare they disobey her?

However, today she needed the help of Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Dong. She thought about it, endured her anger, and gave the two women a dignified look.

She thought to herself: "These things are not valuable to them, so why won't they change them for me? Well, when my eldest brother and my sister-in-law come back, I will make you look good again!"

Thinking like this, she stopped caring and returned to the Lu family with Xu Xiaobao in her arms.

When he got home, Gu Yunxi was sitting in the main room, watching Lu Qingqing draw flowers.

Gu Yunle, on the other hand, was in Granny Dong's room, chatting with Granny Dong. While talking, Gu Yunle kept threading the needle without stopping.

Therefore, Lu Xiaohong did not see Gu Yunle and Granny Dong, only Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing.

Lu Xiaohong walked over with a smile and greeted her warmly: "Oh, niece-in-law, Qingqing, what are you doing?"

Lu Qingqing stopped writing, raised his eyes and called out: "Auntie", and then continued to draw.

Gu Yunxi raised his eyes and glanced at her, with a faint smile on his face, and shouted: "Aunt, did you go to the old house?"

Lu Xiaohong sat down with Xu Xiaobao in her arms, picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Isn't that right? I just came back from my old house, just in time, I have something to tell you! "

Gu Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

She thought to herself, what could happen to this aunt? It must be up to no good!

Sure enough, just after she finished thinking, she heard Lu Xiaohong said excitedly: "Tell me, the old house is in such a dilapidated state. Those bowls have been used for I don't know how many years. Some of the bowls have a small chip on the edge. They didn’t even give me a replacement?”

"Also, the hay on the roof is old, right? I asked He Dachun and Helin to get some hay to replace it, but they still didn't listen to me!"

Lu Xiaohong became more and more excited as she spoke, her face turned red with excitement, and continued: "By the way, those tables and chairs have been in use since I can remember them, and they are so shabby now!"

"Look again, these chairs and this table we are sitting on now are so comfortable! I just asked them to find a carpenter to make me some new tables and chairs like this, but they resisted."

"Niece-in-law, let me tell you, if these slaves in the house are disobedient, you have to sell them out and buy more obedient ones."

Lu Xiaohong's words were heard just in time by Helin, who came back temporarily to pick up tools. His face suddenly froze and he looked at Gu Yunxi nervously.

"Young Madam, that's not what happened..." Helin opened his mouth, trying to explain.

Gu Yunxi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to speak.

When Helin saw this, his face completely lost all color, his legs were a little weak and he couldn't stand.

He felt very cold in his heart and thought, it's all over now. Did the young lady believe Lu Xiaohong's words and want to sell them slaves?

How could this happen? It was not easy for the whole family to move into the Lu family under the arrangement of Mrs. He. The whole family was neat and tidy. After just a few days of Ansheng's birthday, it was about to be broken up.

Lu Xiaohong is simply not a human being! It was she who sowed discord that made the young lady misunderstand them! what to do? What can I do?

Helin had mixed feelings in his heart and stood stiffly in front of the main room with his tools in hand.

"Helin, you came back to get tools, what are you doing standing there in a daze?" Gu Yunxi reminded him when he saw this.

Helin then came back to his senses, glanced at the tool in his hand, hurriedly bent down to apologize, and hurried out in despair.

Gu Yunxi shook his head and looked at Lu Xiaohong with a cold expression.

"Aunt, congratulations for being able to leave the Xu family and come back with Li!"

When Lu Xiaohong heard this, the corner of her mouth curled up: "No, I was blind before and fell in love with a trash man like Xu Wei. Now, I am finally sober!"

Gu Yunxi shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

Lu Xiaohong was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Gu Yunxi looked serious, stared at her for a long time, and then said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"Aunt, I think you are really not suitable to live here. The old house should be almost tidied up later, so you'd better move there as soon as possible!"
