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

Gu Yunxi stood at the door of old Gu's house and chatted with the women for a while.

A woman suddenly asked, "By the way, Yunxi, I heard that you are building a house for your father and will start construction tomorrow?"

Gu Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes, it is true that the auspicious day for the construction of the house is tomorrow. What's the matter, aunt?"

The woman wrung her hands tightly and asked anxiously, "Have you hired the helper? Have you hired the cook? If yes, if no, what do you think of me?"

Gu Yunxi was stunned, and immediately realized that he really didn't make any arrangements for cooking.

I had agreed with the village chief before, asking him to hire a laborer and a bricklayer. The laborer would be paid 30 cents a day, while the bricklayer would be paid 60 cents a day. The village chief did not mention cooking.

According to her memory, in the past, when villagers built houses, if lunch was not provided, they would be paid a few cents more for the work.

The wages she offered were already higher than the normal wages in the village. Perhaps the village chief thought that the wages were already included?

Gu Yunxi thought about it and realized that he didn’t know whether the village chief had hired the workers. Some of the bricklayers were from the village and some were not. If he asked the bricklayers from other villages to go home for lunch, it would take time to go back and forth.

So, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunt, I asked the village chief to help me hire the workers. Why don't you go and ask him? I don't know if he has hired anyone yet."

"As for the cooking matter, I really haven't had time to tell the village chief. How about this, if you want to cook, I'll give you ten cents as wages, plus a lunch, what do you think?"

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll get ready right away."

"Oh, Yunxi, can Aunt Gao handle cooking by herself?" another woman couldn't help but ask.

Gu Yunxi thought about it. There are four bricklayers and several laborers. It is not easy for Aunt Gao to cook for ten or eight people.

So, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunt wants to help too?"

The woman nodded, a little embarrassed, and said, "Such a good job, of course I want to do it, but I also need to see if you need anyone, right?"

"If you need someone, I'm a good fit. I'm quick and nimble, and I have a good relationship with Aunt Gao. If we work together, there will be no mistakes!"

Seeing the woman's confident look, Gu Yunxi couldn't help but burst out laughing and nodded, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. You and Aunt Gao will help me cook from tomorrow."

When the woman heard this, she was very happy. She thanked him again and again and hurried home to share the good news with her family.

Seeing this, the other women were filled with envy and regret. If they had known this earlier, they would have taken the initiative to talk to Yun Xi about this.

Now, someone has taken advantage of them and they can’t gain any benefits at all.

But even so, they were still polite to Gu Yunxi. After all, Gu Yunxi was a very capable person. If there were any other good jobs in the future, maybe it would be their turn.

Gu Yunxi smiled, and seeing that the conversation was almost over, he said with a smile: "Aunts, I still have to go in to see my father, we will talk next time."

After saying that, she waved to a few women and turned into the old Gu family's yard.

In the old Gu family, Boss Gu has been recovering better and better.

When Gu Yunxi came in, Boss Gu was sitting on the bed, talking and laughing with He Dachun.

Gu Yunxi smiled slightly and asked, "Dad, have you eaten this morning? Did they cook for you?"

Boss Gu's face froze, then he nodded.

He ate half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in the morning. Mrs. Wu was sick and Old Mrs. Gu had a stroke again, so there was no one at home to cook.

This small half bowl of wild vegetable porridge was brought to him by Yun Hong himself.

Now that the family has split up, his health hasn't recovered yet and he can't even cook a meal. It's really miserable.

Gu Yunxi did not miss the discomfort on Boss Gu's face. She knew in her heart that her father had definitely eaten breakfast, but it was hard to say what he had eaten and how much he had eaten.

She didn't ask directly, but said, "Dad, I've already made some progress in finding a companion for you."

After she returned home yesterday, the matchmaker in the town came to tell her that a woman had lost her husband and children and was left alone. Her husband's brothers had robbed her of her property and she had nothing left.

The woman was quite skillful and honest.

The woman also said that if she and Boss Gu were attracted to each other, she wouldn't ask for anything else and would just come over and live with him.

"Dad, when can we meet that woman? You tell me a time, and I'll arrange the rest."

Hearing this, Boss Gu was obviously a little flustered. He reached out and touched his beard, then touched his face, and asked nervously: "Hey, Yunxi, Dad hasn't taken a bath for many days, and he still smells. How about I take a bath first?"

Gu Yunxi hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, don't worry, in your current condition, it's better not to take a shower. Let He Dachun get some hot water to help you wipe and change into clean clothes."

"That woman also knows that you have just recovered from a serious illness, so it's okay. If you don't like her, we can find another one."

After hearing what his daughter said, Boss Gu no longer insisted on taking a bath.

Upon hearing this, He Dachun, who was standing by, immediately boiled some water to wipe Boss Gu's body and changed him into clean clothes.

After packing up, He Dachun carried Boss Gu on his back and got on the carriage and headed straight for the town.

The matchmaker didn't expect Gu Yunxi to act so quickly, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "I thought it would be better to meet today than to wait for a day. I happened to be free today, so I brought my father out. Can you please ask the woman if she has time to come out and meet me now?"

According to the matchmaker, the woman now doesn't even have a home, so she rents a house in a large courtyard in the town and does some rough work such as washing clothes.

The matchmaker nodded and immediately walked towards the slum.

After a while, the matchmaker came back, followed by a woman in coarse clothes.

The woman walked with her head down. When she reached the front of the carriage, she raised her head and smiled at Gu Yun.

The matchmaker pointed at the woman and introduced her: "Ms. Gu, this is the Mistress Lin I mentioned. Mistress Lin just heard that you were coming and didn't have time to change her clothes..."

The woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes full of patches, which looked really shabby. However, Gu Yunxi didn't care about that.

Gu Yunxi smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's okay. When I was working at home, I also wore the most worn-out clothes. This way I wouldn't feel bad about the clothes."

Mrs. Lin was a little embarrassed at first, but when she heard Gu Yunxi say this, she raised her head and her eyes lit up.
