Mrs. Liuâs heart skipped a beat when she heard this. In these two years, she had been bugging Mrs. Guo a lot. Her life would be difficult if she were demoted to a concubine.
At the thought of this, she quickly kneeled and apologized, âMother, 1 only muddled because of Zishanâs marriage. Donât take it to heart. I wonât dare do it again.â
Gu Zishan immediately went forward and shook Madam Qiaoâs arm, acting coquettishly, âGrandma, for the sake of your granddaughter, please give my mother another chance.â
âThatâs right. Grandma, please give my mother another chance. She definitely wonât dare do it again.â Gu Chengye quickly echoed.
Seeing this, Madam Qiao snorted coldly and said, âFor the sake of the two children, I will give you one last chance.
âIf you do it again, you can return to being a concubine. Maybe when your status is lower, youâll be able to see better.â
âNo, I definitely wonât do this again.â Mrs. Liu hurriedly nodded.
âAs the saying goes, itâs easy to avoid the death penalty, but itâs hard to escape punishment. Youâll switch places with Mrs. Guo and cook a monthâs worth of meals as a punishment.â
Even if Mrs. Liu was internally unhappy, she nodded and said, â1 will remember this.â
âQuickly set the table.â
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately turned around and went out. The others had seen enough of the show and immediately followed to prepare the dishes.
âSon, the wound on your face wonât leave a scar, right?â Madam Qiao looked at Father Gu.
âItâs fine. Chengrui said that the wound wasnât deep. After itâs healed, itâll be fine after applying a monthâs worth of scar removal cream.â
âThatâs good. Sheâs really too much, getting more and more outrageous. You canât spoil her anymore.â
âI know.â When Father Gu said this, he told her about the vermicelli. âMother, brother, Iâm thinking of using a portion of the white sweet potato to make vermicelli or turn it into dry powder. Those two things can be dried and stored for a long time. 1 heard it wouldnât be a problem to keep them for two or three years. What do you think?â
After that, he briefly explained how to make vermicelli from white sweet potatoes.
âYou two brothers can discuss it; Iâll go and eat dinner.â Madam Qiao got up and sat at the dining table.
Second Uncle Gu hesitated for a moment before saying, âBrother, from what youâve said, if we were to turn white sweet potatoes into vermicelli, some parts might be wasted. Letâs take out 500 pounds of white sweet potatoes and try it out before anything.â
âAlright, letâs give it a try.â
After the meal, Father Gu called Gu Chengye and Gu Zishan to the study room. âNow that there are no outsiders, you can tell me what you think of Hu Chun. Is there a need for this marriage? If there isnât, I wonât waste my breath anymore.â
âI think Hu Chun is a good person. As long as nothing unexpected happens, his future will be fine.
âHowever, 1 heard he has a pair of younger siblings, and their family conditions are poor now.
âSoâ¦
âIt all depends on what Zishan thinks.
âIf she would be willing to go through two years of suffering together and bet on a good man for a good life, she should marry him. Otherwise, it isnât like she doesnât have another choice.â
Father Gu looked at Gu Zishan and asked, âZishan, what about you? What do you think?
âBut 1 must make it clear in advance; donât be too ambitious. Our familyâs situation isnât really better compared to an ordinary farmerâs. At most, you can get married to a son from a rich family like Ziqiuâs husband, who doesnât have great ambitions.â
âIâ¦â When Gu Zishan said this, she raised her head and hesitated, asking, âFather, is Hu Chun really as good as you say?â
âHeâs better than the other villagers anyway. At least heâs literate and skilled in martial arts. Heâs also in charge of about a thousand people now.â Father Gu said.
As for Hu Chunâs character, he had already repeated it more than ten times and was too lazy to say more..
