The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

He Jinrou looked at Gu Qinghuai's cold eyes and intimidating aura and couldn't help but shudder.

She suddenly remembered the terrible things Gu Qinghuai had done.

Break the legs of Ding Honglian, Chen Xiuhua and Li Dongju; make Ma Han inhumane; revenge on the Gu family's old house, not even sparing three-year-old children, disfiguring them and breaking their arms and legs; make Li Chunwei lose her reputation and unable to live as a human being...

How could she forget that the widow in front of her was truly cruel and ruthless?

"Sister... Sister Xiaohuai, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean anything else. I was just worried about your reputation, so I said a few extra words. I... I will never do this again in the future," He Jinrou staggered back a step, saying in a trembling voice.

"You won't die if you don't do it, so take care of yourself!" Gu Qinghuai sneered, turned around and strode towards the yard.

He Jinrou stood in the night holding a lantern. She looked as if she had just crawled out of ice water and was extremely cold.

When Gu Qinghuai entered the inner courtyard, she gradually came back to her senses, covered her chest, and let out a long sigh.

In an instant, she thought of how humble she had been in front of Gu Qinghuai just now, and she became angry again.

My mother said that she is the daughter of the village head and the girl with the most noble status in Tuniu Village!

Moreover, her brother is a scholar and will be able to become an official after taking the provincial examination next year. Her status and position is as noble as that of Cuiwan, the beautiful lady in Zhoujia Village!

Gu Qinghuai is just a widow with a few bucks, yet how dare you treat her like this!

Why was she so... scared just now?

Since Gu Qinghuai called her a coward and she dared not dance in front of Zhao Xiaoshi, she was determined to make Zhao Xiaoshi fall in love with her and marry her.

Humph, Zhao Xiaoshi is just a poor boy living under someone else's roof. He should not be able to refuse the daughter of the village head.

When the day comes when she and Zhao Xiaoshi get married, Gu Qinghuai's face will definitely be very ugly.

After comforting herself, He Jinrou felt much better. She held the lantern and walked briskly into the inner courtyard.

After discussing the affairs of the village, the Meng and He families left one after another as they did not want to bother them for too long.

When leaving the house, He Jinrou looked at Qi Yuanshuo with reluctance, and Luo finally discovered some clues.

It turns out that my daughter actually fell in love with that little stone!

However, she felt that Zhao Xiaoshi was barely worthy of her daughter, and if her daughter could marry into the Gu family...

No, no!

Jinyou will take the provincial examination next year, and he will be given an official title after that. My daughter is only thirteen years old, so she can wait another two or three years. By then, Jinyou will be a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, and my daughter can marry into an official's family in the imperial capital.

Although Zhao Xiaoshi has an eye-catching appearance, he is a poor boy living under the care of others. How can he be worthy of her daughter?

Moreover, no matter how rich the Fourth Gu family is, they are still merchants of low status and position, and cannot compare to the children of officials in the imperial capital.

Mrs. Luo imagined herself wearing silk and satin, with gold hairpins and jade rings on her head, sitting in a big sedan chair, and being served by dozens of servants. She became more determined to have her daughter have less contact with the people from the fourth branch of the Gu family.

Mrs. Luo pulled her daughter and walked away quickly.

On the other side, Guo Yueying looked at her eldest son, then thought about Huai girl, and couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Although Huai girl is still as warm and friendly as before, she has an extraordinary aura in her bones, while her eldest son is still a big fool who is cheerful every day and seems to be less and less worthy of her.

When she learned that Xiao Shitou was going to join the army, she was a little tempted and wanted to let her eldest son go with her to gain experience, but she was afraid that the silly boy would die on the battlefield.

Oh, it’s really depressing.

After the He and Meng families left, only the Gu family was left in the yard, and the atmosphere for talking and chatting became much more relaxed.

Gu Qinghuai asked Zhao Ying: "Mother, how many acres of land did our family originally have?"

Zhao Ying blurted out, "Five acres of dry land and two acres of paddy fields, all of which are thin fields that have not yet been cultivated. When we were driven out of the old house, we left with nothing and did not even have half an acre of land. I slowly opened up those fields."

Hearing this, Gu Guangzhi was too embarrassed to look up.

At the beginning, when Liu Damai drove away Heng'er's family, he tried to persuade Liu Damai, but Liu Damai threatened him that if he didn't want Gu Heng's family to die, he should shut up.

Nangong Yun squeezed his hand and smiled at him tolerantly.

Gu Guangzhi was deeply moved.

Yun'er has always understood his heart. She knows what he means by any expression of his.

Gu Qinghuai looked at Zhao Ying with eyes full of heartache.

Reclaiming wasteland is very difficult, especially in the absence of good farm tools. In three years, Zhao Ying actually reclaimed seven acres of wasteland by herself. No wonder Zhao Ying looked so thin and old when she first returned to her parents' home.

Ancient people opened up wasteland

Gu Heng, Gu Qingshan, Gu Qingtao, Zhu Meijun, Zhao Wang and others also had tears in their eyes.

Gu Heng became stupid, Gu Qingshan was paralyzed, and there were two young children at home. The entire burden of the family fell on Zhao Ying. How could anyone easily forget those dark and miserable days?

"Mother, you have worked so hard in the past," Gu Qinghuai held Zhao Ying's hand and found that her hands were no longer as rough as before and had fewer calluses. He felt comforted.

"What's so hard about that?" Zhao Ying glared at her and tidied her ears embarrassedly.

Gu Qinghuai smiled and looked at Gu Heng again: "I bought this thousand acres of land, so I need to hire a lot of people. Father, you will be responsible for farming from now on. You don't need to work in the fields. You only need to assign tasks, manage the workers, and inspect the growth of the crops. How do you think?"

"Okay! Leave the farm matters to Dad. I will definitely take care of it for you!" Gu Heng's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Everyone in the family has work to do, except him, who just sits there doing nothing every day.

Now, he has a thousand acres of land waiting to be tended!

Gu Qinghuai smiled and nodded: "Thank you, father. I plan to build it into a farm and surround it with a fence. This will prevent wild animals from destroying the crops and also prevent thieves.

I will first draw up a plan on how to use the 1,000 acres of wasteland, and then find some books on how to increase crop yields for Dad to read. Dad can learn more and strive to become a master of farming."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Of course, I wasn't laughing at him. I just thought that this "farming master" that Gu Qinghuai mentioned was somewhat amusing.

Farming means digging for food in the soil, facing the loess and back to the sky. It is dirty and tiring. Farmers are often despised as country men, mud-legged people, and peasants. How can they be associated with such high-sounding titles as "master"?

However, Gu Qinghuai said seriously: "There are indeed masters of farming. There was a man in China who was diligent and studious, loved to study things, and especially liked to delve into research. He invented a high-yield rice that fed countless people. He was called the father of hybrid rice, admired by thousands of people, and his name was recorded in history. There are top talents in all 360 professions. Dad, as long as you are diligent and studious, you can also become such a great person."

As long as one is a human being, no one is willing to be mediocre.
