Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 164 Theft
It has been seven or eight days since I stood stealthily in the corner and eavesdropped, and Gu's injuries have healed. Because Wu's heart aches for this mother, it's not easy, so she never took the initiative to bring her back.

Mrs. Gu didn't have any intention of going back, on the contrary, she was very eager to help Mrs. Wu.

Because the family has recruited a lot of guys, no matter whether it is food or beauty, in fact, there are not many jobs that really need Wu to do, so Wu needs to do the accounting.

But Mrs. Gu couldn't read big characters, so it was too unrealistic to help her with the accounting, so Mrs. Wu rejected her.

But Mrs. Gu still wants to find a job. In her words, "Even if it's my own daughter's house, I don't want to eat and drink for free. I can live in peace of mind by helping you with something that isn't too tiring." .

Wu Shi was a little confused and couldn't make up her mind what to ask her to do.

In the end, Bai Shao gave her a trick - because the lotus root pulp needs to be chopped up, which is a very troublesome job. Usually, Dachun Niang brings the big iron wife to do it. If Gu is in a hurry, Then go to cut the lotus root.

Cutting and washing lotus root does not require any technical work, and there is no required amount. Gu can do it if he wants to do it, and go back to sleep if he doesn't want to do it.

But at the beginning, Mrs. Gu was still a little unhappy, and she disliked Mrs. Wu for trampling her, so she found such a coolie for her.

Later, seeing that Mrs. Wu really had no other work for her to do, she didn't want to just go back to sleep every day like this, so she followed along to cut lotus root.

After several days of cutting lotus root in this way, one day, Bai Shao was drawing patterns on the clothes that the embroiderer was going to make, when Wu suddenly rushed over in a panic, "Shao'er, hurry up, your grandma cut off her hand. "

"What, is it serious?" Bai Shao froze for a moment, quickly put down the cinnabar pen in her hand, and rushed to Gu's room with Wu.

Bai Yunshi, who hadn't gone out for the past few days, quickly invited the doctor and was already bandaging Gu Shi, but she was still lying on the bed and screaming "Ouch, Ouch".

Wu's heart ached when she heard it, and she couldn't help wiping her tears beside her. Until the Lang Zhong wrapped it up and Bai Chuanbai sent him out, she lay down next to Gu and cried, "Mother, don't cut the lotus root. What else do you need to do to live with me, if you are bored, just go out and buy whatever you want, don't cut lotus root."

"Xiaohui... I've lived here... for ten days." Gu opened his eyes vigorously, but instead of answering Wu's words, he asked another question.

"Ah, mother, today is the ninth day, and tomorrow will be the tenth day, what's the matter?" Wu asked a little puzzled.

Gu didn't speak, but closed her eyes, shivered fiercely, and muttered, "Time flies so fast, it's been ten days, and it's going to be ten days soon."

"What's the matter ten days, mother? Daddy wants you to go back in ten days?" Mrs. Wu thought about Mr. Wu's temper, and asked speculatively.

"No." Gu Shi, who had been trembling all this time, suddenly opened his eyes and vetoed Wu Shi's speculation, "Absolutely not, your father didn't tell me that."

"No, that's fine. You can stay here for a few more days, and you can stay here as long as you want." Wu said distressedly, "The injury on my body has only healed for a few days, and now I am injured again. Really... ...Hey, mother, stop working."

"Okay, okay." Gu Shi listened and nodded in relief, "My hand is hurt, I'm afraid I won't be able to cut lotus root for you, but I can't help it if I'm idle..."

"If you're free, just be free. If you're really bored, I'll let Shao'er and Wei'er talk with you." Wu said, wiping away tears.

"No need, don't bother the children." Gu sighed, closed her eyes, and said vaguely, "Xiaohui, I want to sleep, don't come to see me at noon today, go ahead and do some work .”

"Hey." Mrs. Wu agreed, seeing that Mrs. Gu didn't move, she thought she was really asleep, so she tucked her quilt up, called Bai Shao and Bai Wei out, and told them to follow Gu more. Shi talked, so that she would not be bored alone in the room.

"Mother, grandma is an old hand who is used to work, why did she cut off her hand today." Bai Shao was suspicious in her heart, so she asked deliberately.

"Your grandma has been really quick at working these years. I never saw her cut her hands when I was a child. Now she may be old and her eyes are blurred, so she cut her hands. I shouldn't let her do those jobs. "Mrs. Wu sighed, without thinking too much.

Bai Shao and Bai Wei looked at each other, but they still felt that something was wrong, especially what Gu Shi asked just now made them smell different.

"Grandma actually hurt her finger, there's no need to lie on the bed." Bai Wei pointedly said.

"It probably hurts so much, she can just lie down if she wants to." Wu patted Bai Wei and Bai Shao's heads, "It's noon, I'm going to help out in the front shop, and I won't come to see you until I'm done. Grandma, during this period, if you have time, go and accompany your grandma."

After speaking, he left.

Liu Baishao and Bai Wei sisters, after looking at each other, the two sisters went to a room where the sundries were stored, and stood at the door hand in hand, all listening to the sound of the door of Gu's house.

After about tea time, the door of Gu's room was knocked.

This point is noon, which is often the busiest time for food, and there are usually no people left in the back house.Even sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei would go out to help serve a plate. It can be said that if Bai Shao and Bai Wei didn't deliberately stay today, there would be only Gu Shi in the whole yard.

"Shao'er, Shao'er, grandma is out." As soon as Bai Wei heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she quickly grabbed Bai Shao's arm and was about to follow.

Bai Shao shook her head, didn't let her go out, but stretched out her index finger to lick her tongue, then poked a hole in the window paper with the wetness of her fingertips, and looked out from there.

"Grandma has gone to our house." Bai Weiyi also poked a hole, his two big eyes followed Gu's movements, and when he saw Gu entering Wu's and Bai Chuanbai's house , pulled Bai Shao's sleeves excitedly, and whispered, "What should I do, she has gone to our house, what is she going to do?"

"What can you do, you forgot what grandma said a few days ago, and you still blamed me for taking money from our family..." Bai Shao curled her lips and said, "It must have been asked from my mother."

Knowing that Bai Shao has money from Bai Laosan's family, it is not surprising to go to her room.

However, Bai Wei still doesn't understand, "Grandma has lived at our house for nine days, she didn't go a few days ago, why did she go today... why, Shaoer."

"A few days ago, grandma was not in good health. Mother had to come to see her every once in a while... Since when did mother not visit grandma every now and then, do you remember?" Bai Shao stared at her. Gu Shi asked Bai Wei softly.

"Of course I know, it was the day before yesterday when grandma was going to cut lotus root, because in the courtyard over there, Dachun Niang was taking care of her, so she felt more at ease, so she didn't visit grandma all the time." Bai Wei Wei murmured for a while, but still couldn't figure out why Mrs. Gu had to choose today.

"In the beginning, my mother always came to see grandma from time to time. Grandma didn't dare to do anything, so she wanted to help my mother look over the accounts, but because I couldn't read big characters, I was arranged to cut the lotus root. The lotus root was cut at Jinse's place. In the yard next to her, although my mother would go to see her from time to time, there was nothing in the yard. Then my grandma's hand was injured, and it was when the shop was about to get busy. It seems that these two days of work , Grandma asked Da Chun Niang a lot about the shop." Bai Shao opened her black and white eyes, and explained to Bai Wei in a low voice.

"If your hand hurts, grandma can go back to eat and come to Tianhou's house, because it is the busiest time of the shop, cutting hands is not a big problem, as long as grandma excuses that she wants to rest, mother will not come over in a short time, so she can There is enough time to do what you want to do.”

"Ah... Grandma still has such a heart?" Bai Wei was shocked. She never thought that the old lady who had been standing obediently behind Mr. Wu would have such cautious thoughts, "If she is so smart, why not Why don't you resist grandpa? That kind of beating hurts me just looking at it, but she still enjoys it."

Bai Shao thought for a while, spread her hands and said, "Probably it has become a kind of thought, grandma thinks this kind of life is normal, if you don't beat her... Maybe she is not used to it yet."

It sounds cheap to say this, but in fact, there are such people.

"Then, grandma is stealing things from our house right now?" Bai Wei remembered this, and hurried to look out through the two holes, just in time to see Gu Shi holding a handful of things and quickly passing from the two sisters. out of the house, and returned to his own house.
