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

The two men drove Gu Heng out of the room and sat by the fireplace, mending clothes and chatting.

Guo Yueying looked out the window, moved closer to Zhao Ying, and said with a very cheerful smile: "Yingzi, my silly boy has fallen in love with your girl Huai! Oh, that silly boy has finally come to his senses! I told you a long time ago that he would like girl Huai, but at first he said that he just regarded her as a sister and had no romantic feelings for her. Now he's slapped in the face, right? Hehe... I don't know when that boy suddenly fell in love, haha..."

Zhao Ying is an honest person and does not hide the embarrassed and worried expression on her face at all.

Guo Yueying poked her forehead with her finger and said angrily, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? If Huai girl marries into the Meng family, our whole family will treat her like a little ancestor! If Wubing dares to treat Huai girl badly, I will break his legs immediately! We will also treat Xiao Huhu as our own granddaughter."

Zhao Ying looked conflicted and kept twisting her fingers, not knowing how to start.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, looked at Guo Yueying, and said sincerely, "Aying, I was just about to talk to you about Huai'er's marriage. In fact, Xiao Shitou also likes Huai'er. A few months ago, he secretly told Ah Heng and me that he wanted to marry Huai'er. He also said that he wanted to be Huai'er's child husband and had given the betrothal gifts."

"There is such a thing?!" Guo Yueying raised her voice in shock, "I have long felt that the brat had bad intentions towards Huai girl, and it turned out to be true! Huai girl hasn't agreed to him yet, right?"

"Because Xiao Shitou is still young, he was afraid that Huai'er would be snatched away by someone else, so he wanted to seize the opportunity. That’s why he told me and Ah Heng in advance, but didn’t tell Huai'er for the time being," Zhao Ying looked at Guo Yueying steadily, afraid that she would be unhappy.

Guo Yueying slapped her thigh and scolded with a smile: "Great! Little Stone, you little brat, you're really quick to act! You're much smarter than that stupid kid in my family!"

Zhao Ying held Guo Yueying's hand and said gently, "Aying, Xiao Shitou and Wubing are both good kids. I like them both very much. But Ah Heng and I can't decide who to choose as the third son-in-law. Our whole family has to see what Huai'er thinks. Whoever Huai'er likes will be our son-in-law. But, I hope that no matter who Huai'er chooses in the end, it will not affect the relationship between us two sisters, nor the harmonious relationship between our two families."

Guo Yueying chuckled and glared at her, "Yingzi, you worry too much. Am I Guo Yueying such an unreasonable person? If Huai'er doesn't like my silly boy, it's because my silly boy is unlucky. Little Shitou is indeed better than my big fool in every aspect. If Huai girl can't become the eldest daughter-in-law of my family, I will recognize her as my goddaughter. Do you have any objection?"

"No problem, no problem," Zhao Ying narrowed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel relieved when you say that. Ah Ying, let our children's marriages be decided by themselves. We just need to do some proper checks."

"I understand this logic, so you can relax. In fact, I have been mentally prepared. I felt from the beginning that Huai girl would choose Xiao Shitou instead of my silly boy," Guo Yueying said with deep regret.

Zhao Ying didn't know what to say, so she just held her hand and looked at her apologetically.

Guo Yueying glanced at Zhao Ying with a sly smile in her eyes: "However, as long as Huai girl doesn't marry Xiao Shitou, my silly boy will have a chance. I will let him keep working hard and compete fairly with Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou has advantages, and my silly boy also has advantages."

"Okay, as long as the result doesn't affect the relationship between our two families, anything is fine," Zhao Ying said with a smile.

Now that the emotional entanglements of the three children had been clarified, Zhao Ying was finally relieved.

However, a few days later, the news that the Longhuzhai bandits had attacked Tuniu Village at night quickly spread throughout the village.

The whole village was terrified.

Some people said that Gu Qinghuai stopped He Lizheng and did not let him tell the villagers about the bandits entering the village. What if the Gu family failed to stop the bandits and the bandits rushed into the village without any preparation? Wouldn’t the villagers just have to wait to be burned, killed and looted by the bandits?

Gu Qinghuai was too self-righteous and didn't care about the lives of the villagers at all.

Of course, many people immediately retorted, saying that they were ungrateful. Huai Yatou did that because she was sure she could repel the bandits. Moreover, Huai Yatou definitely didn't want the bandits to disturb everyone's New Year's Eve. How kind!

In short, there were all kinds of explanations, and an incident that could have been ignored became a huge uproar in the village.

Without having to think about it, Gu Qinghuai knew who spread the news.

It was either Luo, He Jinrou, or both mother and daughter.

After all, apart from the Gu family and the Meng family, only He Lizheng knew about the bandits' night attack. He Lizheng would not talk nonsense, but the people around him might not.

However, Gu Qinghuai didn't care. For now, the villagers didn't dare to make trouble in front of her, so if they had complaints, they had to keep it to themselves!

The Gu family was very angry. They felt that they had never offended Luo and that they were respectful to her because of He Lizheng. They didn't know why Luo was so hostile towards their family.

Life is really hard for people. No matter what you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and who will talk behind your back.

Gu Heng sneered: "Isn't this simple? In the past, because she was the wife of the head of the village, she was the most prestigious woman in the village. Everyone in the village stuck to her, looked at her face, and looked up to her. Now our Huai'er has come to the fore and received the support of the villagers, stealing the limelight from He Lizheng and her. She is jealous and envious."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Xiao Huo, who was sitting nearby, suddenly said, "That He Jinrou likes my uncle, but my uncle likes Aunt Huaishu and ignores He Jinrou at all. So the mother and daughter hold a grudge against each other, and they are especially jealous of Aunt Huaishu."

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Gu Qinghuai.

They all know that Xiao Shitou likes Huai'er, but Huai'er doesn't know it. Xiaohuo just said this open secret directly. I wonder how Huai'er will react.

Gu Qinghuai looked calm.

Xiao Shitou had confessed his feelings to her a long time ago. Even if he hadn't, she had already sensed the boy's feelings.

Besides, as a person who traveled through time from the end of the world, she would not be shy when she heard that someone liked her.

She doesn't seem to be shy.

Everyone was puzzled. What was Huai'er's attitude towards Xiao Shitou?

Qi Yuanshuo looked at Gu Qinghuai nervously and hurriedly explained to everyone: "He Lizheng's daughter did confess her love to me, but I rejected her directly."

"It's normal that my grandson is handsome and popular," Zhu Meijun said proudly.

Nangong Yun rarely showed a look of disgust, "That He Rou has no self-awareness at all. She actually wants to be compared with my granddaughter."

Huai'er is the person who looks most like her mother. Her mother is a woman chosen from thousands, and so is Huai'er.
