Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We are all from the same village. Since Qiao'er's grandmother fell, I know that I have to go and see her as a junior. Otherwise, I will feel bad."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi waved towards Widow Cao and Qiao'er.

"Aunt Cao, take Qiao'er with you, and let's go see Qiao'er's grandmother together."

Widow Cao was stunned. Looking at Gu Yunxi's expression, she felt something was strange. Then she looked at Qiao'er's aunt and it seemed even weirder.

"Well, let's go..."

Qiao'er's aunt, Xiao Zeng, opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and followed her home silently.

Arrived at Qiaoer's grandmother Zeng's home.

Xiao Zeng brought Gu Yunxi and Widow Cao into the house, only to see an old woman lying on the bed in the thatched hut, howling loudly.

"Oh, my waist, it hurts so much!"

"Qiao'er, you're finally here. I almost couldn't see you..."

Qiao'er saw her grandmother Zeng lying on the bed, stretching out her dark hands and trying to grab her, but she quickly dodged.

Zeng was immediately displeased when she saw her granddaughter like this, and immediately scolded: "You dead girl, you dare to look down on me, a money-loser is indeed a money-loser."

After saying that, she also glanced at Qiao'er and Widow Cao.

Widow Cao was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly, "Mother, Qiao'er is timid, she doesn't mean to dislike you."

"That's right. It's all your fault as a mother for not teaching her well. You have corrupted my good granddaughter. She doesn't even recognize me as her grandmother!"

"My poor son, it's all because I died early, otherwise, how could my granddaughter not recognize me?"

Zeng didn't even give Widow Cao any face and scolded her in front of everyone in the room.

Seeing this, Qiao'er's great aunt, Xiao Zeng, said, "Hey, sister-in-law, please stop making mother angry. Can't you see that mother is injured like this?"

Widow Cao was stunned. What did she mean by "she made her mother angry"? What the elder sister-in-law said was so unreasonable!

She pursed her lips. This was not the first time her sister-in-law had said this to her. Forget it. At this moment, she should not bother with her sister-in-law.

"What Aunt Zeng said doesn't make sense, does it? I was watching here just now, and Aunt Cao didn't say anything to make Grandma Qiaoer angry!"

Gu Yunxi suddenly spoke, looking at Xiao Zeng with a half-smile.

She had seen many people like Xiao Zeng before. They spoke in a sarcastic tone and were very annoying.

Gu Yunxi was already on good terms with Widow Cao, and when he followed over, he was also feeling confused and wanted to support Widow Cao.

Widow Cao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that at this time, Gu Yunxi would actually speak up and speak for her.

Little Zeng was also a little surprised. When she saw Gu Yunxi coming over and greeting everyone in the family with a smile, she thought Gu Yunxi was a soft-hearted person!

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi was so impatient to speak for his brother and sister-in-law.

Xiao Zeng was very unhappy. If she was facing an ordinary woman in the village, she would have cursed back.

However, Gu Yunxi is not an ordinary woman. Her husband is an official in the capital. The Lu family's business is very big, and they often ask villagers to help with their medicinal and melon fields.

Little Zeng also hoped to work in the Lu family's medicinal and melon fields to earn more money.

Then, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, I just said the wrong thing, look at my mouth!"

"Sister-in-law, you won't argue with me, will you? I was just worried because mom fell and got hurt, so I spoke incoherently." Little Zeng looked at Widow Cao with a smile.

Widow Cao was quite surprised. She had been married for so long, but she had never heard her sister-in-law speak to her in such a kind voice.

"It's okay. Since you know you were wrong, just be careful with your words next time." Widow Cao said with a smile.

She didn't want to cause trouble, didn't want anyone to hate her, and didn't want to make enemies with Qiao'er's father's family.

The two sides live in peace and no one causes trouble for each other. This is what she wants!

When Xiao Zeng heard Widow Cao say this, she looked a little embarrassed, but she still smiled. Just as she was about to say a few more words, she saw her husband coming with the town doctor.

"Oh, doctor, please come and take a look at my mother. She has been complaining of back pain since she fell." Little Zeng said hurriedly and enthusiastically, leading the doctor to her.

After a thorough examination, the doctor said, "It is true that you broke your waist. I will write you a prescription. Come with me to get the medicine."

"The consultation fee and medicine cost about 100 to 300 wen in total. Who will pay for it?"

Little Zeng was very enthusiastic at first, busying around. But when she heard the doctor say that the consultation fee and medicine cost more than one or two taels, she quickly stepped back and pretended to help Zeng tidy up the quilt.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Gu Yunxi looked around quietly and found that there were no other adults in the room. The man who had just gone to ask for a doctor, Xiao Zeng's husband, was not in the room either?

Zeng suddenly said, "Second daughter-in-law, please go see the doctor off and bring the medicine back for me."

The man that Widow Cao married was the second son in the family.

So, the person Zeng was calling at this time was Widow Cao.

Widow Cao was surprised and asked, "Mom, who will pay for the consultation and medicine?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are asking mother about such a small matter? Can't you see that mother is in great pain? If it really doesn't work, you can pay for it first, and I will pay it back to you when my injury is healed." Little Zeng said loudly.

In fact, Gu Yunxi secretly observed that little Zeng looked at Zeng's eyes and saw that the other party nodded before shouting loudly.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already discussed it and deliberately called Aunt Cao to make her the scapegoat.

Widow Cao was in great distress, her beautiful brows were tightly furrowed.

She did save some money, but she originally planned to use it to build a house.

Now they still live in an abandoned thatched house in the village. When it rains, the house either leaks or is drafty, making it impossible for the mother and daughter to live there in peace.

After so many years of hard work, she finally saved up some money. Her demands were not high. She just wanted to build two brick houses that could shelter her from the wind and rain. In the future, she wouldn't have to worry about the wind and rain anymore.

If she gave away more than one or two taels of silver, all the work she had spent on embroidery for one or two months would have been in vain.

But she couldn't justify not giving it to him, after all, it was Qiaoer who was hurt.

"Grandma Zeng, forgive me for being blunt, but you don't want Aunt Cao to pay for all the medical expenses and medicines, do you?"

Gu Yunxi suddenly spoke and asked.

"Aunt Cao and Qiao'er were driven out of the house by you and now live in an abandoned thatched house in the village. If she hadn't been able to embroider, I guess she wouldn't even be able to support Qiao'er now. How could she have so much money?"

"If she had so much silver, she would have stopped living in that shabby thatched cottage."
