Chapter 11 Contradictions
There was no one on the road, so Boss Li winked at his daughter and made a knife gesture, meaning, did you bring the knife?
Li Yu nodded to show that he took it.

"Sister, shall we go shopping in the city?"

"What do you want to eat, my sister will buy you pastries and sugar."

"I don't eat sugar anymore when I grow up."

Xin Ge twirled his fingers and answered listlessly.

"I don't even eat candied haws, so I'll eat it myself."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, then cocked his chin and blinked to tease him.

"sister……"

Xin Ge pouted and tugged at her sleeve acting like a spoiled child.

"Hey, my sister bought candied haws and delicious osmanthus cake for you two."

"Thank you ma'am."

Xin Ge smiled brightly, and Xu Yang squinted happily.

Aunt Gu and the others also have a lot of work to do in the forest.

"I have to do a lot of work today, you have to help me, I'll make the dough, steam some steamed buns, get some dough pancakes, this is easy to digest.

You go and wash the eggs and duck eggs for me, and get some yellow mud. I want to marinate them. It's too hot to let things go bad.Also, I was afraid that there would be no firewood on the road, so I went to chop some firewood to give us some charcoal, so that we could burn water on the road. "

"Lei'er, take Miss Lin to wash clothes by the river, and wash everyone's clothes while there is water."

"Yue'er has never done rough work."

Gu Lin felt sorry for the child.

Gu Lei turned around and shook his head helplessly, and smiled ironically.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Gu Lin, "Then you come and do the laundry. I'm going to cook with Gu's sister and steam several pots of steamed buns. There are so many people on the road that you may not have time to do it. Look, anyone can do it. .”

It's up to you to choose.

Gu Linshi hesitated, she doesn't know how to wash clothes and cook, so she just lays her hands on the fire to wash dishes.

"I go."

With tears in her eyes, Lin Yue lowered her head and put away everyone's dirty clothes. She hugged the tub and planned to follow Gu Lei to find the water source.

Gu Lei glanced at her, frowning tightly, his face full of impatience, it's just washing clothes, so there's no need to cry.

Take her to the water's edge, "You wash here, I'm going to chop firewood, don't go far, the forest is big, be careful not to get lost."

"understood."

Lin Yue looked at a large basin of clothes, sighed dejectedly, and had to pick up a stick and start washing clothes.

After a while her arms were sore, she panted and rubbed her shoulders, seeing that there was still a pile of clothes, and she hadn't finished washing any of them, she sighed again, looked at her red hands, and shed tears of grievance.

Looking at a large basin of clothes, he kicked the basin angrily, but unexpectedly the basin turned over, and the clothes fell into the river, and were washed away along the river.

"Oh, it's over, don't run away..."

Lin Yue quickly stood up to grab the clothes, picked up this one, and the other clothes floated away, farther and farther away.

Several pieces of clothes are gone, now it’s all right, there are a lot less clothes in the basin, so I don’t have to do so much work.

When Gu Lei came back with bundled firewood, he saw Lin Yue sitting by the river crying, raised her head and sighed deeply, feeling tired.

What sin did I do? It's so difficult and I have to coax you into tears.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?"

His tone was drawn out, and his face was full of exhaustion and irritability.

Lin Yue raised her head, her eyes were dim with tears, and her eye circles were red, "Cousin, I... I lost my clothes..."

"lost?"

Gu Lei blinked, he could wash and lose the clothes, what a genius.

Lin Yue pouted aggrievedly, pointed to the river with her hand, and shrank her shoulders, "I accidentally knocked over the basin, and my clothes fell into the river...and ran away."

"you……"

Gu Lei frowned, stood where he was, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists desperately to endure.

"You can lose your clothes even if you wash them, Miss, what else can you do."

His chest heaved with anger, and his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

"I, I... didn't do it on purpose."

"What about these? Why don't you wash them? I've been there for a long time, and you haven't washed any of them. You don't want to do it at all. Who are you going to wait for? Who should serve you?"

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his tone became cold.

"Yu'er will come back later, I don't know how to do this, I have never done it before."

Lin Yue turned her face away, and this time she spoke sharply.

"Why do you think that Yu'er should do your laundry?"

His voice was cold and serious, and he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart.

"She is more capable than me. Besides, she usually does it. I haven't done it at home. It's the same when she comes back to wash. I'll help my aunt cook."

Lin Yue muttered, why should I do the laundry? She does easy work.

"Since fleeing famine, Yu'er has worked the most and the hardest. It's not like you haven't seen it. She's so busy that she doesn't do much. What have you done?"

"You think I didn't see it. You said you were helping your aunt cook, but you've been slacking off. You can't even make a fire, so why can't you help? Are you treating others like idiots!"

"Yu'er deserves to be bullied by you if she is capable, and deserves to serve you, a rich lady. Why should she serve you?"

Gu Lei beat her up like a cannonball, and didn't save her face at all.

Lin Yue stood up angrily, her face flushed from being squeezed, "Cousin, why do you always speak for outsiders, and besides, she is not capable, and those who are capable will work harder."

"I've never done rough work at home. She's so capable. Let her do it. Anyway, she wants to curry favor with the Gu family. Who knows what she's trying to do."

He rolled his eyes and snorted, his eyes filled with jealousy and disdain.

Gu Lei was trembling with anger, pointed at her, and yelled at her: "In terms of family background, your family is only a fourth-rank official. How can you say such a thing? You have never done rough work. Li Yu is a super-first-rank official. The eldest daughter of the mansion is much more noble than you, why do you think that she should do rough work."

"Why do you bully others? You think too highly of yourself. You are flattering the Gu family. Who is currying on the Gu family? Do you need me to explain clearly?"

Gu Lei was so angry that he turned around in circles, wishing he could jump into the river to calm down.

Pointing at her with his fingers, his eyes were spitting fire, and his face was as dark as ink, and he scolded her: "Li Yu doesn't need to curry favor with the Gu family, it is your Lin family who is following the trend, not her, Li Yu."

"If you can't finish your work, you will live here, you trash."

"I'm quitting. Do whoever you like. You just know to protect Li Yu. I'm going to tell my aunt."

Lin Yue kicked the pot over with a hateful kick.

"roll!"

Gu Lei roared, and Lin Yue ran away crying in fright.

Lin Yue ran back crying all the way, everyone was busy, working, even the two old men were weaving baskets and taking their children to study.

Seeing Lin Yue came back, they all looked at her wonderingly.

"What's going on here?"

Gu Lin quickly asked.

"Auntie, woo woo woo... my cousin scolded me for being a sycophant to curry favor with the Gu family, and my cousin... bullied me."

Lin Yue was crying uncontrollably.

Gu Lei came back with his clothes and threw the basin on the ground.

"Look at the good things your niece has done. She hasn't washed a single piece of clothes, and even lost several. Tell her a few words, and what do you think this young lady will say?"

A pair of peach blossom eyes are full of contempt and ridicule.

"What are you talking about, and...the clothes are washed away anyway."

Third Aunt Gu picked up the clothes and saw that none of them had been washed. She turned her head to look at the crying man in the sister-in-law's arms, and shook her head in disgust.

"People say that Yu'er is capable. When she comes back to do it, I will reprimand her a few words, and she will say that Yu'er is flattering the Gu family. If Yu'er is capable, she should do more. She is a rich lady, and she has never done rough work. Li Yu who is capable will do more work." .”

Gu Lin's face turned cold, and he asked his son in a cold voice, "You said that Yue'er was fawning on the Gu family."

These words stimulated her sensitive self-esteem, completely disregarding right and wrong.

"Yes, that's what I said. The Li family doesn't need to curry favor with the ruined Guhou Mansion. It is your Lin family who have been currying favor with the Gu family. Li Yu is the eldest daughter of the Yipin State Duke Mansion, the daughter of the Langya Wang family, who is more important than your niece. It's much more noble, this is what I say in my heart, and I have endured it for a long time."

After Gu Lei gritted his teeth, his emotions reached the point where he couldn't bear it. This month's fleeing life, this cousin really made him extremely disgusted.

He doesn't save face for his mother at all. Since you don't love me, why should I care about your feelings.

Gu Lin's body shook for a moment, his whole face was as pale as paper, it turned out that in his son's heart, this is how he viewed his grandfather's family.

"cousin……"

Lin Yue looked at Gu Lei in disbelief, tears fell unconsciously, her eyes were full of shock and embarrassment, her face was hot, it was the pain of being slapped several times in the mouth.

It turned out that I was the clown.
