Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 176: Being a Manipulative Person
"How can this be possible!" Qin Ying had already tied her apron. "Didn't we agree that we would cover their meals as well?"
An An said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou feels sorry for you!"
Qin Ying blushed at her annoyance and poked her on the forehead with her hand: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"It's true!" An An hugged her mother's legs and looked up at her, "Uncle Zhou was scared when he heard you were sleeping. He thought you were sick! He insisted that I come over and feel if your forehead was hot!
"I told him he was asleep, and he said he would make lunch, but he was afraid he wouldn't do it well, so Grandpa Zhang took over.
"Mom, Uncle Zhou really likes you!"
Qin Ying's face turned even redder, her heart pounding like a rabbit. She quickly covered An An's mouth, sighed, and warned: "An An, you can't say such things casually. If others hear it, it will be fatal!"
"Mom," An An took her hand away and opened her eyes wide, "but there are only the two of us here!"
She chuckled twice and added, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm not stupid! I'll keep my mouth shut when there are outsiders around!"
Qin Ying was speechless for a moment.
An An turned around and ran out: "I'm going to tell Uncle Zhou that Mom is awake!"
Qin Ying was afraid that there would not be enough food for lunch, so she quickly boiled some cornmeal, added some white flour and kneaded it, then stewed a big pot of stew and put a circle of pancakes on it.
Pancakes made of pure cornmeal will make your throat ache, while pancakes made of half cornmeal and half white flour are much softer and more delicate.
Soon An An came back, followed by Zhou Yu carrying a lunch basket. Zhou Yu looked carefully and saw that Qin Ying did not look sick at all, and her face was very rosy. He was completely relieved and said with a smile: "I've brought lunch over. You can eat it when the people who went to the fields come back later."
Qin Ying didn't dare to meet his gaze, she just lowered her head and said, "I've made some here too, sir, please wait a moment and take some back."
He took the basket, took out the food inside, put his own preparations in, and handed it to Zhou Yu.
Because the child was there, Zhou Yu didn't say anything. He took the things and went back.
Soon, those who had worked in the fields returned home one after another.
During the meal, Zhao Hu said, "Da Shuan told me that someone came today to inquire about the Guo family. Who could it be? Could it be that Guo Wen is coming back?"
An An snapped his fingers silently. Bingo, correct answer, but no reward.
Aunt Zhao didn't take it seriously: "Just come back! What's the big deal?"
The Zhou sisters didn't understand the situation and didn't know what to say, so they just lowered their heads and ate.
Qin Ying said softly, "I'm afraid Guo Ni'er is coming."
Zhao Hu snorted, "How dare she cause trouble? I heard her aunt wants to marry her off to an old man in exchange for a betrothal gift!"
"Serves you right!" Aunt Zhao spat. "You did it yourself. You deserve it!"
Qin Ying sighed, "It's the same thing. Guo Wen was conscripted. Since he came back alive, he must have made some military achievements. If he really wants to cause trouble for us, it will be difficult to deal with him."
"Just because he's so cowardly?" Zhao Hu sneered. "Achieve merit? Why am I so unconvinced?"
Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "I don't believe it either. We're neighbors, so who knows who? Guo Wen is such a coward. How dare he go to the battlefield? Who knows what's going on."
"We're just guessing. Who knows if it's him? Let's eat. Things will work out when the time comes. Once someone really shows up, we'll know."
Not long after, Zhou Yu also got the news.
Xu Xia came to report: "A group of people of unknown origin are coming this way. They look like soldiers, but there are no numbers on their clothes, so we can't tell where they belong.
"There are also female relatives in the team, and they brought two maids, but they don't have many valuables."
Zhou Yu ordered him to investigate more carefully, but he didn't take it to heart.
It was only twenty miles, and it should have taken one day to reach Tongshutun. However, the team stopped when they were five miles away from Tongshutun.
Zhou Yu also got their detailed information, and his expression became a little subtle.
He found out that the leader of the team was Guo Wen, and the woman on the mule cart was his wife, Yu, and they had been married for three years.
Yu's brother was a deputy general, who happened to be in an army under Mr. Zhou Er's command. He had average ability and no military merits, but was very good at scheming. There was also some indirect relationship between Yue's family and Mrs. Zhou Er's family.
As for Guo Wen himself, he did not make any achievements after joining the army, and even deserted once, but it was in chaos at the time and no one noticed.
He was originally in the army of the Fifth Prince. Once the team was broken up, he was buried in a pile of dead bodies and was discovered by Deputy General Yu and others who were cleaning up the battlefield.
Due to years of chaos and chaos, military uniforms were not so neat, and military supplies could not always meet the needs of the army. Many soldiers wore captured military uniforms, or at most wore them inside out.
It just so happened that Guo Wen was wearing the Ninth Prince's military uniform in that battle, but because he was in a hurry to go to the battle, he didn't have time to wear it inside out.
In this way, Lieutenant General Yu's men thought he was one of their own and took him back.
Guo Wen went along with the mistake and even lied that he had killed several enemy soldiers around him and only fainted due to exhaustion.
Lieutenant General Yu thought he was a promising talent, so he transferred him to his side to use him.
Deputy General Yu lost both his parents and lived with his sister Yu Xiuniang. Yu Xiuniang had a liking for the handsome Guo Wen.
Guo Wen tried to please him, and soon the two of them fell in love. Deputy General Yu observed Guo Wen for a while, and Guo Wen only said that his parents were still alive and he had a younger sister, but did not mention Qin Ying.
He also said that the world was in chaos, he had no news, and he didn't know what was going on at home.
He was always humble in front of the Yu brothers and sisters, and Deputy General Yu was very satisfied with him. He arranged a marriage for them three years ago and also bought them a house near the base.
Lieutenant General Yu himself was not rich, but it was easy to make some extra money on the battlefield, so his pockets were full and he naturally gave his sister the best life.
As the war stabilized, Guo Wen began to think about "returning home in glory". Deputy General Yu thought it was a good thing that he cared about his family, and he also wanted his sister to visit his uncle and aunt to make the relationship between husband and wife more legitimate.
It's not that he is willing to let his sister suffer. The truth is that both the current crown prince and Mr. Zhou Er who commands the army are extremely filial people. If they knew that their subordinates have relatives but they don't take care of them, I'm afraid something will happen.
Lieutenant General Yu still wants to climb up the ladder, but he won't tolerate any stain on his body.
Before leaving, he also frightened Guo Wen with a few words. It was understandable if he wanted to help his parents, but if he wanted to bring his parents to his side and suppress the Yu family, it was absolutely impossible.
Guo Wen needed to rely on his uncle, so he naturally obeyed him in everything.
Yu was not someone who could endure hardship. She could not travel more than twenty miles a day and had to stay in hotels along the way.
After entering the Black Mountain area, the road became more and more difficult to travel, and Yu's complaints became more and more.
