The general's wife knows medicine

Tang Peipei went to the village head's house.

The village head happened to be at home. When he saw Tang Peipei and Lu Gang, he greeted them with a smile.

"Is Peipei back? Did you have a smooth journey?"

Tang Peipei said: "Uncle Lizheng, I came back yesterday and the journey was smooth."

The village head asked them to sit down and said, "I hope everything goes well." He poured water for Tang Peipei and Lu Gang and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Tang Peipei chuckled and said, "I have something to tell the village head. I bought some cloth this time and plan to start a clothing business. I want to find some aunts or girls in the village who are good at sewing."

This matter was originally assigned to Liu Yeling, but after Liu Yeling looked around, she found that none of the people she was familiar with were suitable.

So Tang Peipei thought that the village head should know the villagers better and wanted to ask him.

The village head thought for a moment and said, "You have to ask your second aunt if she is good at needlework in the village. Wait a minute, I'll go call her."

The head of the village went to the backyard. Aunt Zhao was tending to the vegetables in the backyard. When she heard that Tang Peipei was looking for her, she put down her work and followed the head of the village to the front yard.

Seeing Tang Peipei, Second Aunt Zhao said happily: "Peipei is back, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Tang Peipei said, "Aunt, I want to ask you if you know anyone in the village who is better at sewing? I want to find five or six people to do the work for my family."

Aunt Zhao asked curiously, "I heard from your mother before that you were planning to open a clothing store. Have you brought back all the goods?"

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "Yes, so please help me find a few aunts or girls who are willing to work. How about paying each person 40 cents a day?"

Aunt Zhao was surprised. The wages were the same as those of the workers who went to the city to carry heavy bags. And she was working in her own village, which was very convenient. Besides, needlework was an easy job and did not require much effort. She did not expect Tang Peipei to offer such a high price.

He asked Tang Peipei happily: "Do you have any requests?"

Tang Peipei said: "I do have some requirements. I want someone who doesn't talk much, is good at work, and is quick and agile."

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Is it easy to find someone in the village?"

Tang Peipei didn't have much demand for this, but because she thought that she had just arrived, she must take care of the villagers first.

Then he said, "I don't have any requirements. I just thought that if there is a suitable one in the village, I will definitely not look for one outside."

Aunt Zhao immediately understood what Tang Peipei meant and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll bring the person to you tomorrow and let you take a look."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Second Aunt."

Aunt Zhao waved her hand and said, "Why are you being polite? It's not a big deal."

Tang Peipei thanked him and left with Lu Gang.

On the way, Lu Gang was thinking about Mu Jintang, and wondered whether he should talk to Tang Peipei to see what she thought.

If she is interested, he will support her wishes. If she is not interested, he will also be careful not to cause any trouble.

"Peipei, what do you think of General Mu?"

Tang Peipei was originally thinking about the clothing shop, but was a little confused when Lu Gang asked her this.

"What? Grandpa, what's the matter with General Mu?"

Seeing Tang Peipei's puzzled look, Lu Gang thought that Tang Peipei had not yet discovered Mu Jintang's thoughts, so he felt that he should talk to Tang Peipei about it, in case he was deceived.

His good granddaughter had been fooled once, and this time, with him as her grandfather around, he would definitely have to keep an eye on her.

Then he said, "I am asking what you think of General Mu as a person?"

Not knowing how to start, Lu Gang had to start from the side.

Tang Peipei didn't know why Lu Gang suddenly asked her what kind of person Mu Jintang was, so she had to answer honestly: "He's okay, he's pretty nice to people." Most importantly, he was pretty nice to her.

Oh, by the way, I don’t know what’s wrong with me recently, but I seem to be very doting on the little girl.

Tang Peipei didn't know that Mu Jintang was carrying a bag on his horse. Tang Peipei always thought it was Mu Jintang's spare clothes. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home yesterday, Mu Jintang went to find Xiaotuanzi with the bag in his arms, looking like he was seeking credit.

Tang Peipei was curious at the time and went to see.

Only then did I realize that the bag was actually filled with children's toys, clothes, shoes and so on.

Also, even though Little Tuanzi was shy and cried when she saw him, Mu Jintang didn't get angry. Instead, he tried to get Little Tuanzi to get familiar with him.

Could this person be up to something bad?

The more Tang Peipei thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Tang Peipei, who had been smiling, became a little gloomy when she thought of Mu Jintang's bad intentions.

Lu Gang looked puzzled.

He was smiling just now, why did he change his expression again? Could it be that the thing he was worried about had happened?

Lu Gang didn't care about what to say and asked, "Peipei, you haven't been deceived by that brat Mu Jintang, have you?"

Tang Peipei came back to her senses from her thoughts and looked at Lu Gang.

Thinking back to what I just said, Grandpa looked very angry.

"Grandpa, what did you mean by deceived? Who was deceived?"

Lu Gang said with a look of disappointment: "Girl, are you still trying to make excuses for him?"

Tang Peipei looked puzzled. What happened to her? Who did she excuse?

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"You still say you didn't? Then let me ask you how about the guy surnamed Mu. You were fine before, but suddenly your face changed. Didn't he bully you?"

After hearing what Lu Gang said, Tang Peipei realized that she was absorbed in thinking and caused Lu Gang to think in the wrong way.

"Grandpa, I was just thinking about other things. Mu Jintang didn't bully me. He's very nice to me, really."

Tang Peipei's explanation was fine, but Lu Gang immediately felt something was wrong with this one.

He looked at Tang Peipei seriously and said, "Peipei, you and General Mu?"

Tang Peipei was embarrassed. Why did she say so much? She was very upset.

He smiled at Lu Gang and said, "He and I haven't come to an agreement yet. Let's wait and see."

Hearing Tang Peipei say this, Lu Gang knew that she had an idea in her mind, but he still couldn't help but remind her: "Peipei, no matter what decision you make, Grandpa will support you, but Grandpa still has to say that General Mu is from a high-ranking family, and we are ordinary civilians. The difference in status is too big. You have to be aware of it and don't get caught up in it. Then you will be the only one who suffers."

Tang Peipei was naturally aware of this, otherwise she wouldn't be so embarrassed now. The most important thing was that there was a little girl between them.

Tang Peipei doesn't care about status and position, but she can't bear to give up the little girl she carried for ten months. If, in the end, Mu Jintang's family cannot accept the existence of the little girl, she thinks, she might give up everything between her and Mu Jintang.

But for some reason, when she thought about the fact that she couldn't be with Mu Jintang in the end, she felt choked up and uncomfortable.

Tang Peipei didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she retracted her thoughts and said to Lu Gang, "Grandpa, I know, don't worry."

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Lu Gang didn't say anything more.
