After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"I asked you to go to your mother's house to get some money, but you can't get it. If you go to ask for prescriptions, you will not return a few. Your mother's house sells so much food, so why don't you just bring one back to me to fool someone?"

Through the open door, Gu Jingcheng could see Gu Shui trembling with his belly in his arms.

At this moment, her hair was scattered and stuck to half of her face, and the exposed skin was a sickly white, and she was a completely different person from yesterday.

Even though it is winter, Gu Shui is still wearing thin clothes while pregnant with a child, which makes people feel distressed.

She stood shivering in the cold wind, making Gu Jingcheng's originally cold face tinged with pity. After all, they are a family, and Gu Shui is his younger sister. How could they live such a life in Zhou's house?

Gu Jingcheng stood at the door, and after taking a steady breath, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

When Gu Shui heard someone knocking on the door, she first raised her eyes to look at Mother Zhou in fear, and shrank back in fear when she saw the disgust on her face, raised her slender arms to wipe away the tears on her face, Holding her belly in her arms, she went to open the door for Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Shui thought it was someone from the village who came to find Mother Zhou, and she was ready to accompany Smiley, but she didn't expect that it was Gu Jingcheng who came.

"Third brother?"

Isn't the person standing in front of her the same Gu Jingcheng she just met yesterday, he looks gentler today than yesterday, perhaps because he is dressed a little thicker and looks bulkier than usual, so he has less sense of alienation from others .

"Come in and have a seat, you came so suddenly, my little sister doesn't have anything to greet you."

A mess of thoughts flashed through Gu Shui's head for a moment, and then he immediately smiled and wanted to invite Gu Jingcheng to his house.

But she completely forgot that her face was flushed from the cold, and no matter how she folded her hands, she couldn't stop the frostbite on her.

Gu Jingcheng didn't know that she was pregnant for several months, but only knew that her huge belly was too conspicuous compared to her thin body.

He watched Gu Shui's eyes getting darker and darker, then shook his head and rejected her invitation.

"I came here this time to tell you something, is it convenient to come out with me and talk about it?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't want to step into Zhou's house. After being rejected by him, Gu Shui was taken aback for a moment, and then turned back to look at Zhou's mother a little at a loss.

Her pale lips moved: "Mother..."

"If they want you to go out, just go out. You look petty, as if I'm locking you up."

What Mother Zhou hates the most is Gu Shui's weak appearance.

But it was an elder brother who was a juren, and he showed her off.

-

Gu Shui led Gu Jingcheng to the open space next to the gate of Zhou's house. Occasionally, a few Zhou family members passed by, and she would always greet them warmly.

It's just that few people pay attention to her and reply her as enthusiastically as she does.

"There is no end to such a day in sight, how long do you want to continue?"

Although the Gu Shui in Gu Jingcheng's memory was no different from an ordinary peasant girl, at least when she was chasing after love, he really had the feeling of seeing the fresh vitality bursting out of her.

At that time, she was so young, but she had already dared to bear the price for pursuing what she liked.

Although now, her life may not be as good as she imagined at the beginning.

"After all, I have children. Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to think about them. Besides, I still have one in my stomach. A mother can't just watch her children suffer."

Gu Shui understood the implication of Gu Jingcheng's words, her eyes were red, she kept raising her sleeves to wipe away her tears, while sobbing, she made up her mind with words: "Get over it, as long as I can get through it, life will definitely get better."

No matter how patient she is, God will not treat her so kindly.

"What if you can't make it through?"

Gu Jingcheng condensed his voice: "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the cold spring is expected to be cold. Do you think that the only thing you have to endure is the current cold wind?"

-

Gu Jingcheng talked to Gu Shui a lot, and gave her a tael of silver before leaving.

Gu Jingcheng was afraid that she would not be able to take it if she took it, and that it would arouse the concern of Zhou's family.

One tael of silver is enough for her to buy some things for herself and her children temporarily.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

Gu Jingcheng hoped that Gu Shui would consider his words carefully and overcome his ordeal.

But even so, on the way back, Gu Jingcheng still couldn't forget the pity he saw her today, so he went to the city to find Zhou Lin and asked him to help investigate the Zhou family's affairs.

Zhou Lin was originally not interested in the affairs of these investigators, but when he heard that this matter was related to his little sister, he immediately geared up excitedly.

"I heard that you have a younger sister before, but I haven't seen it. I didn't expect this little girl to live in such dire straits now, and she found a second-timer as her husband-in-law."

Zhou Lin's melon-eating expression fell into Gu Jingcheng's eyes, which only made Gu Jingcheng feel that he deserved a beating.

With a blank stare, Zhou Lin immediately became serious.

He coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Don't look at me like that, I just want to see your serious face to adjust the atmosphere, this matter is on me, in a few days, after a few days I will check it out I will send you a letter."

"Nothing too small."

Gu Jingcheng believed in the ability of a good brother, so he only told him one sentence.

"Success, don't worry about my work."

After Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin made arrangements for Gu Shui, they went home.

New Year's greetings came one after another, and finally no one came when Su Xiaomu was about to go numb.

It was the seventh day of the lunar new year in a flash. After the New Year's break, everyone started to work one after another.

Whether it is going to the fields or doing business, the village that has been silent for almost a month has finally become lively again for livelihood.

Yin's and Chen's are in charge of the family's work in the city. Su Xiaomu thought that he would be bored staying at home, so he followed them into the city to see if there was anything he could do to help.

It's just something they really didn't expect, but during the New Year's Eve, the streets of the city are full of people selling pancakes, fruits and ice powder.

Yin Shi and Chen Shi looked at the people all over the street who were their competitors, so they naturally felt 120 unwilling.

They didn't even care about the business in the shop, and spent money to find a few stalls to buy ice powder and pancakes to taste.

I don't know if I tasted it, but I was taken aback when I tasted it.

In the past on this street, the food made by almost every vendor tastes the same as what they make.

Except for a slight difference in taste, it is like looking in the mirror in the kitchen. Who is different from whom?

Yin's and Chen's were sitting in their shop annoyed, and they didn't have much interest in doing business anymore.

Anyway, after this mess, very few people are willing to eat at their place, repeat customers and so on, it is almost non-existent.
