Farming and raising cubs: the vicious female supporting role is fought over by the whole family to b

Mother Gu shut up in embarrassment.

Oops, she accidentally let it slip.

"Mom, please don't hide it from me." Li Mumu sat next to Gu's mother.

Gu's mother was sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion.

There are fruits on the stone table.

"Mom, how long have you been hearing those words?" Li Mumu asked.

"Actually, it didn't take long, and I didn't hear much about it," Gu's mother said.

Li Mumu didn't believe it, so she turned to ask Gu Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, how long have you heard this?"

Gu Xiuxiu is a child who cannot lie, and he has never lied to her.

Although Gu Xiuxiu was embarrassed when she heard Li Mumu ask, she still told the truth, "I've been hearing this for more than a month."

"Mumu, don't worry about those boring gossips." Gu's mother said, "We know how good our life is. Those who gossip just don't see the good things of others. As for the Mrs. Liu I mentioned, what did she say to me? Her daughter-in-law doesn't know how to run a house, but she even came to me and told me to be careful because you are too good at making money and are oppressing us."

Gu's mother sneered, "She is just jealous that you are capable and filial, and you are also kind to Shang Qing. It's hard to find people like you even with a lantern. This kind of people don't have a good family and can't see other people's families. According to Master Guan, it's It harms others and does not benefit oneself.”

"Even Master Guan knows?" Li Mumu was surprised.

Master Guan has always been lazy in dealing with worldly affairs.

"Master Guan likes to go to teahouses to have tea and listen to books." Gu's mother said, "So he also knows it. Master Guan was worried that we would think too much, so he specially advised us. That's what he said at that time."

"But there is no need for Master Guan to tell us that we will not be affected by those gossips." Gu's mother said to Li Mumu, "We ourselves know how good our life is. Those people can't realize it, but they are... If people talk outside, let them talk. Let them talk, and there won’t be any loss of meat.”

"Remember back when we were still living in Yong'an Village, there were rumors about Shang Qing's death in battle. Didn't you hear a lot of unpleasant gossip?" Mother Gu said, "You didn't care at that time. You said that we ourselves Just know the things you want to do, and don’t worry about what others think.”

"You insist that Shang Qing is not dead, and even people say that you are stimulated and can't think straight, but you don't care." Mother Gu said, "Because of your persistence, we are also shaken. To be honest, Even though you were very insistent at that time, we still believed that Shang Qing was dead."

"It's just because of your persistence that I didn't rush to organize a funeral or erect a tomb for Shang Qing." Mother Gu smiled, "If it weren't for your persistence, Shang Qing would have come back alive later, and if we had seen his memorial tablet and tomb, How unlucky."

"It's also because you insist that he is not dead. To be honest, there is a small place in our hearts that holds hope. Maybe it is as you said, Shang Qing is not dead yet." Mother Gu said.

"Every time we thought Shang Qing might not come back, you gave us confidence. The same goes for Shang Qing's mission this time." Mother Gu said, "It was you who firmly believed that even if he died, you would still see him. We can only believe it after his body was found. If you hadn’t insisted on looking for him, we...we might not have seen him."

"And when these things happened, there was not much gossip about you outside. When they said something about you at that time, it was even worse than they say about us now." Gu's mother said, "But do you feel that something is wrong? Do you feel that you are unhappy? ?”

Li Mumu shook her head, "No, I know my own affairs, but outsiders don't. Self-righteous comments will not affect me at all."

"That's it." Mother Gu said, "You firmly believe that Shang Qing is not dead, no matter what outsiders say, in the end Shang Qing came back, we are happy, but they are the ones who are slapped in the face. If you go to save Shang Qing, outsiders will think you are stupid. , it’s dangerous to go here, maybe you won’t be able to come back. But you rescued Shang Qing, and it’s us who are reunited as a family.”

"Outsiders think you are crazy, but we ourselves know our own happiness and live a good life, and that is enough." Mother Gu smiled slightly, "Those gossips are not good for me, your father, your brother, sister-in-law and The same goes for nieces and nephews.”

"We ourselves have made money and lived a good life, but others can't make it, so what if we let them have their way? We live the good life ourselves." Mother Gu said, "Our family's business is really all what you want. Your brother and sister-in-law all followed you. Without you, we would still be farming at home."

"You enabled all three children to study and even take part in the imperial examination. Needless to say, Bai Yuan is a good candidate for study. I never thought that even Xiuxiu has the potential to become a talented woman." Gu's mother smiled. He said, "It turns out that only Bai Jin is left, and he doesn't like reading very much. I'm a little worried, and I thought if it doesn't work out, I'll ask him to do business with my parents in the future."

"You don't need to ask him to do well, as long as he is serious. Your eldest and second brothers are not good at business, but they are honest and willing to work, so they can do well? Who knows that you will discover his specialties, and this child will be better in the future?" If we can really go to the Ministry of Industry, it would be a great blessing for our family."

"As I said before, we know how well our family lives. No matter how much others gossip, it's useless. We know how well they live."

"It's because we didn't pay attention to the gossip outside at all, and even treated it as a joke." Gu's mother said, "We were just worried that you would think too much after hearing it, so we didn't tell you."

"Besides, you're busy and it's too late to get down to business, so why waste your time paying attention to these things." Gu's mother said.

Gu's mother and others didn't care about these words, so Li Mumu had nothing to worry about.

It's getting hot early in the capital, and Li Mumu has already started preparing new products for Gu's snacks, Gu's fried chicken and Wangyou Nai.

Those summer ice drinks of later generations are available now.

Use various teas as a base, add pulp and juice, and you will have a delicious summer fruit tea.

It's a pity that it's not easy to store ice now. Even the ice in the palace has its own rules, so you have to use it sparingly every day.

Li Mumu also kept some ice in winter, but she had to keep it in the house in summer to relieve the heat.

Otherwise, Li Mumu really didn't know how to spend the hot and difficult summer in Daxi without air conditioning.

When I was in Yong'an Village and Chong'an before, I didn't have such conditions, and I couldn't bear to be so luxurious.

In the summer, it is really painful.

Therefore, in the capital, the economic conditions of the family are getting better and better. They can afford some ice and have cellars to store some time.

Li Mumu took advantage of the winter to save some ice for use in the summer.

But it is still expensive to store these, so it is impossible to use them in the fruit tea in the store.

These ices are okay for occasional consumption at home, but it is definitely not practical to sell them in large quantities.
