"In that case, I'd like to thank you first!" After the words were spoken, Gu Yue could only accept them.
Unexpectedly, she came here specifically to embarrass Su Wan. She originally wanted to make Su Wan feel inferior, but in the end she ended up being herself.
It’s nothing, it’s just humiliating yourself!
The smile on Gu Yue's face was really far-fetched. Su Wan had already gone back to the house to get her soap.
"Fortunately, I saved a few dollars for my own use. It's a coincidence that you came early!"
Su Wan also thoughtfully packaged the soap before giving it to her.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be so powerful and be able to make such good things. I'm ashamed of myself!"
Gu Yue did not reach out to pick it up, but pointed to Qiu'er, the maid next to her, with her eyes.
Qiu'er stepped forward and snatched away the soap from Su Wan's hand. Her nails accidentally scratched a piece of skin on the back of her hand. A red mark instantly appeared on Su Wan's white and tender hand, with faint blood oozing out of it. .
Su Wan hissed. Seeing this, Su Chen immediately came over and picked up her hand to check. Su Yi and Su Yun also jumped up from their chairs.
"Wanwan, are you okay?"
Su Wan shook his head:
"I'm fine, third brother, it's just a small problem!"
This Qiu'er's attitude was something she didn't expect. She had an impression of this little maid. She used to serve her, but later she made a mistake and the original owner fined her a month's money, so she started to hold a grudge!
Su Yi immediately ran back to the house to get medicine. Their family often worked and hurt their hands, so the second brother specially bought ointment.
"You're so outrageous, why don't you kneel down!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Yue immediately scolded Qiu'er, who knelt down reluctantly.
"What are you doing? Why don't you apologize to Su Wan? She was also your master after all, but she acted so ignorantly?"
Qiu'er originally wanted to fight against Gu Yue, but also took the opportunity to vent her hatred, but she didn't expect that the young lady would lose such a temper.
"Miss Su, I was wrong, I didn't mean it!"
She lowered her head and wrung her fingers. If Su Wan cared about this little thing, she would be rude.
"It's okay. Since it was an unintentional mistake, it wouldn't be outrageous for me to hold on to it. It's just that you have to serve Miss Gu on weekdays, so you'd better cut your fingernails so long to avoid accidentally hurting Gu. The lady is not feeling well."
"I understand, please thank Miss Su for reminding me!" Qiu'er still had a reluctant tone, curling her lips as if to force her.
Su Yi had already brought out the ointment and applied it to Su Wan.
"It might hurt a little, Wanwan, please bear with it!"
"Fifth Brother, don't be so nervous. It's not a big deal. It will heal if it is delayed." Su Wan smiled helplessly, and she was quite happy seeing how Fifth Brother cared about her.
"It's bleeding, how can it not be serious?" Su Chen echoed at the side.
This scene hurt Gu Yue, and her face became paler.
Seeing that Su Wan was fine, Su Yun comforted Gu Yue.
"Yueyue, don't blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you!" As he said that, he glared at Qiu'er.
When Gu Yue heard this, she just smiled awkwardly at him. She was on pins and needles at the moment and almost got up and left on the spot.
Everyone sat in the yard for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, until Chen Yinghong ran over happily.
While still outside the yard, I heard her shouting:
"Yueyue, are you back?"
She knew that her good sister had returned to the village, so she immediately came to talk to her about old times, but Gu Yue didn't show how happy she was.
"Yinghong, long time no see, are you okay?" Chen Yinghong ran over and took Gu Yue's hand.
Gu Yue felt a little disgusted, but couldn't let her go.
"I'm fine. What about you? How are you at the Gu family?"
"Of course I'm very good. My father and mother are very good to me." Gu Yue thought to herself, are you talking nonsense? Of course my biological parents are good to me.
"I really envy you. You have someone to take care of you every day, and you have such nice clothes to wear. Unlike me, who can only work in the fields every day. Recently, my parents made arrangements for me to get married. They plan to marry me in two years. But I don’t want to get married at all, and if I do, I’ll only marry the one I like!”
Chen Yinghong said this as soon as she came, and when she said the last sentence, she glanced at Su Yun.
"But you are only thirteen years old. You will be fifteen in two years. Why are you getting married at such a young age? My mother said that it is best for a woman to marry when she is seventeen or eighteen."
"I'm no better than you. I'm pampered by my family wherever I go. Our family's conditions are not good. I have an older brother and a younger brother. If I don't get married when I get older, I'll have to stay at home and earn a living. That's what my mother thought. Marry me so that you can exchange gifts for your brother and get a wife!" Chen Yinghong is also a poor person, born in a family that values boys over girls.
Gu Yue showed sympathy on her face, and the others said nothing. It was none of their business anyway, and they didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Besides, Su Wan and Chen Yinghong don't want to deal with them, so why bother?
But at this moment, Gu Yue's heroine's halo of the Virgin appeared. She thought about it and said directly to Chen Yinghong:
"How about this, Ying Hong? You don't want to get married anyway. I'm usually alone in the Gu Mansion and I don't have anyone I know well to tell my true feelings. Why don't you come to work by my side from now on? I'll give you monthly money and wait for you." If you find someone you like in the future, I will let you go at any time and marry the person you like."
When Gu Yue said this, Chen Yinghong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then her eyes turned red.
"Really Yueyue? Are you willing to save me?"
"Of course, we are the best sisters. If you are in trouble, why wouldn't I help you?"
Chen Yinghong hugged Gu Yue's waist and buried her whole body on her chest. Although Gu Yue disguised herself well, Su Wan still saw her tilting her head back.
"Yueyue, you are so kind. You are the kindest girl I have ever seen!"
Seeing this, Su Yun also showed a happy smile.
He thought to himself that his Yue Yue was really a kind-hearted person, which made him very happy.
Su Chen also laughed. He glanced at Su Yi, who shrugged indifferently.
"Then you go back and talk to your parents right now. Just say that I will give you five taels of silver every month. Then pack your things and come back to the house with me later. I will ask Qiu'er to go with you."
Gu Yue asked Qiu'er to follow Chen Yinghong to her home to be a witness.
Qiu'er looked at Chen Yinghong and felt that her position was threatened. Although she was very reluctant, she still followed.
When she arrives at the Gu Mansion, if she dares to claim the young lady's credit in front of her, she will definitely find a way to deal with her.
What's more, she is also a personal maid, and she only gets four taels of silver a month, so why should she get five taels?
When Chen Yinghong's parents heard about the monthly payment of five taels a month, they agreed and happily helped their daughter pack her clothes.
Qiu'er said that there was no need to take away these tattered clothes. When the time came, she would naturally be given maid clothes for her to wear.
He also said that he was working as an errand at the richest man's house. If he was so shabby, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Gu family?
