"This, this can't be calculated like this..." Aunt Xi racked her brains to squeeze out these few words, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.
"Oh, how to calculate it? Does his family have a lot of money? That's impossible. If she was rich, why didn't Widow Zhou cure her son's health? Their family wouldn't be so poor?" Gu Shichupi He said without a smile.
"Aunt Xi, are you helping me or hurting me by introducing this marriage to me?" Gu Shichu calmed down his expression, looked at Aunt Xi indifferently and said, "Although I am an orphan now, I am not someone who wants to plot against me. Those who can calculate."
Aunt Xi's pupils shrank, and somehow she felt that she was particularly frightening, but after a blink of an eye, Gu Shichu returned to his calm and gentle appearance, as if her feeling of fear just now was an illusion.
But even so, Aunt Xi did not dare to tell her about Zhou Shitou anymore, so she said sarcastically: "In this case, I will go back and tell Widow Zhou about this marriage. Do you disagree?"
Gu Shichu nodded and said, "Yes, just say that I don't want to be someone else's free nanny."
After Aunt Xi returned, she honestly told Widow Zhou that Gu Shichu did not agree to the marriage. Of course, she did not dare to say the words about free nanny.
Widow Zhou thought that Gu Shichu looked down on their family, so she immediately turned against her and cursed her for being ignorant, for actually looking down on her son, so shameless, let's see what kind of good marriage she can find in the future!
Gu Shichu was extremely upset when two unreliable marriage candidates came to his door in succession. These days, the aunts and wives couldn't bear to see young girls not getting married, so they would drag them into the quagmire of marriage and suffer with them!
The somewhat irritable Gu Shichu didn't even repair the broken wall at home, and ran to Ji Mingtao's house. Ji Mingtao was sewing clothes in the yard, holding a thin needle with his long and beautiful fingers, and a pair of thick ink-like eyebrows. Wrinkling tightly, he was solemnly sewing the holes in his clothes.
Not to mention, the movements sound skillful, and the embroidery looks good on handsome men. However, Gu Shichu felt a little distressed just looking at it. It is miserable for a child without a father and a mother. However, a macho man has to patch his clothes by himself. He has no skills at all. Practiced it.
Ji Mingtao noticed someone was coming, glanced up at Gu Shichu, and then continued embroidering, oh no, sewing clothes.
There was no look of surprise on his face. He was obviously used to being disturbed by Gu Shichu, and he couldn't even get angry at this moment. After all, he was helpless when dealing with such a shameless girl, so he treated her as if she didn't exist.
"You are so amazing, you can actually sew clothes! Besides giving birth, what else can you not do?" Gu Shichu sighed, holding his face in his hands and looking at Ji Mingtao's handsome face.
Ji Mingtao said expressionlessly: "Yes, I won't avoid your methods."
Gu Shichu didn't feel any embarrassment or embarrassment at all when he heard his disrespectful words. He said with a smile, "Then don't hide. Since you can't resist, just accept it."
Ji Mingtao pretended not to hear, holding a thin needle with his slender fingers and flying it on the patch, his movements were neat and beautiful. Gu Shichu rarely felt like a good wife and mother, and said, "It's a good thing you live in a relatively remote place, otherwise, If you, a grown man, sew your own clothes, people will laugh at you if they see you, why don't you let me sew your clothes for you from now on?"
Ji Mingtao said with a cold face: "No need, whoever likes to laugh can laugh." He lived on his own at a young age. If he didn't sew his clothes when they were torn, how could he wait for his butt to be bare? In order to survive, he persisted no matter how many hardships he suffered. What was sewing clothes? What does it mean to be laughed at by others? Not painful or itchy.
Gu Shichu dug through his distant memories and confirmed that she had indeed been able to do needlework in the past. It seemed that her skills were pretty good. Once she tried it and found the feel, her skills would come back.
So she said very confidently: "You don't have to be polite to me. My sewing skills are very good. The stitches are fine and neat. Even when I patch them, they look better than ordinary people. Why don't you let me try?"
Ji Mingtao glanced at the clothes she was wearing and sneered.
Gu Shichu looked at herself and saw that the top she was wearing was left behind by the original owner. It had the fewest patches. There were only one stitch on the shoulder and one on the right elbow. But to be honest, the stitches on the edges of the two patches were all considered. It's not pretty, it's a little crooked, and the stitches are a bit big. This is a blatant mockery of what she just said about her good craftsmanship.
This patch was made by the original owner. Gu Shichu was slapped on the face and felt a little pain. But when she thought about it, the original owner's craftsmanship was not hers. What should she be embarrassed about? So I immediately felt confident again.
"My father helped me mend my clothes. For a grown man, my father can mend my clothes like this. It's pretty good. Not every man is as good at needlework as you, and not every man is as good at everything. "Gu Shichu told lies with his eyes open, blaming the original owner's life on the original owner's father, and also praised Ji Mingtao by the way.
Ji Mingtao didn't know whether to believe it or not. He sewed the patch and bit the thread with his white teeth.
Gu Shichu looked at the cold-faced young man who was clearly doing a woman's needlework, but he was still elegant and focused, without any embarrassment or secretiveness in his expression. He was frank and free, which was really charming.
She asked him without giving up: "Ji Mingtao, do you really not want to be with me? I'm not bad either. After we get along with you, I won't need you to do anything, I won't need you to support me, and I won't pester you." I can even help you sometimes...Why don't you agree to such a good thing?"
Gu Shichu's words were very bold and outrageous in this era, but the two people who spoke and listened to them were not ordinary people. One was bold and bold, while the other was indifferent.
Ji Mingtao frowned, then looked at Gu Shichu, and said indifferently: "I will never marry and have children in this life. No matter what you say, I will never be good to you. You can find someone else." Bar."
After hearing what he said, Gu Shichu not only did not feel sad about being rejected, but he breathed a sigh of relief and became even happier. His eyes became brighter and he said:
"That's perfect! I don't want to get married and have children. I just want to enjoy the pure joy between a man and a woman. I don't want to be bound by family, children, or responsibilities. I just want to have a relaxed and simple love between a man and a woman. After we get tired of it, we can get together and part ways, and have nothing to do with each other...how about that?"
When Ji Mingtao heard her words, he showed some surprise and confusion on his face, which had always been free of emotional turmoil. He seemed to have met Gu Shichu all over again, staring at Gu Shichu carefully with his dark and deep eyes. face, finally realizing that what she said was true.
Such shocking and unrestrained words, she said them openly and openly, without a trace of shyness, and she discussed them with him openly.
If other people heard her words like this, they would accuse her of being a bad person and being a hooligan.
