Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi did not go out all morning, and both of them enjoyed this moment of quietness that belonged to them alone.

At noon, just before the end of the workday, the production brigade's loudspeaker suddenly blared: "All members of the Shanghe Village Production Brigade, please put down your current tasks and send one representative from each household to the production brigade yard for a meeting."

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi looked at each other, both of them had the same question in their minds: What on earth could be going on that required such a big fuss?

Gu Zhan put down what he was doing, told Liu Xiaoxi not to cook at noon, and to wait for him to come back before cooking, and then left.

The other members of the Gu family were not at home today, leaving only Zhao Hongmei.

After hearing the loudspeaker, she kept an eye on the movements from Liu Xiaoxi's side. Finally, she heard a creaking sound from the wooden door of Liu Xiaoxi's house, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away. She guessed that Gu Zhan must have walked away.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Hongmei followed him out and confirmed at the gate that the figure leaving was Gu Zhan before turning around and walking into the yard.

Zhao Hongmei did not return to her room, but knocked on Liu Xiaoxi's door.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The wooden door made a heavy sound. Liu Xiaoxi thought that Gu Zhan had returned again, but when she heard the random knocking sounds, she hesitated again.

"Who is it?"

Seeing that the other party did not open the door directly to let herself in, Zhao Hongmei hummed softly in her heart: "Sister-in-law, I am Hongmei."

It turned out to be Zhao Hongmei!

Liu Xiaoxi felt somewhat surprised. What was Zhao Hongmei doing here?

She and Zhao Hongmei had basically no friendship. Before they separated, Zhao Hongmei not only threw her own work to herself, but also often mocked her verbally.

At this moment, Gu Zhan came knocking on the door right after he left her. Liu Xiaoxi intuitively felt that Zhao Hongmei's visit to her was not a good thing.

After taking a look around the house, Liu Xiaoxi stood up and put the books, paper and pen that Gu Zhan had left on the table, as well as the things he had bought from the county town yesterday, into the box that came as a dowry during the wedding, locked it up, and then came to open the door for Zhao Hongmei belatedly.

"Hey, sister-in-law, why did you open the door just now?" Zhao Hongmei spoke before she even stepped over the threshold.

Seeing her self-righteous expression, Liu Xiaoxi felt like laughing for some reason, and it took a lot of effort for him to control his expression and prevent himself from laughing.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep."

Zhao Hongmei sneered in her heart and thought to herself: This guy is really brainless. He doesn't even know how to find a decent excuse to lie.

Then he brought out his usual bossy attitude towards Liu Xiaoxi: "Sister-in-law, I heard that you brought back a lot of things from the county town yesterday?"

Liu Xiaoxi couldn't help herself at this moment, so she just laughed: "How did you know?"

"Why do you care how I know? Just answer whether it is true or not."

Zhao Hongmei still thought that Liu Xiaoxi was the same clay figure as before, and that she would do whatever she said. She spoke in an unconsciously domineering tone.

But since Liu Xiaoxi had Gu Zhan's support and was sure that Gu Zhan was now firmly on her side, she had become much bolder. She was no longer afraid of offending Zhao Hongmei and said coldly, "Then you heard wrong, sister-in-law. We didn't buy anything."

After a pause, he continued, "I'm sure you know, sister-in-law, that when the family property was divided, your eldest brother and I didn't get a single note or a penny. We only got some broken clay pots from home. How could we have any spare money to buy things?"

Seeing that Liu Xiaoxi was not telling the truth, Zhao Hongmei glanced at Liu Xiaoxi with a smile, and paced around looking at every corner of the room unscrupulously.

"what are you doing?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, you said you didn't buy anything. I don't believe you. I'll help you look for it."

Liu Xiaoxi witnessed Zhao Hongmei's shamelessness for the first time. He didn't intend to give Zhao Hongmei any face anymore. He stepped forward and spread his arms to block Zhao Hongmei's way.

"Get out of my way!"

When Zhao Hongmei saw that the usually timid Liu Xiaoxi dared to stand in front of her and shout at her, she felt furious and the little bit of rationality she had left collapsed.

She grabbed one of Liu Xiaoxi's arms and tried to push him to the other side, but Liu Xiaoxi had already seen through her intention and dodged. Zhao Hongmei missed her and fell on the edge of the kang.

Liu Xiaoxi was pregnant and didn't intend to actually confront Zhao Hongmei, but she also didn't intend to let her get away with it. So, taking advantage of Zhao Hongmei's missed opportunity, she dodged and ran out of the room, shouting towards the gate, "Help! Zhao Hongmei has gone crazy and is trying to steal something from my sister-in-law's room."

Zhao Hongmei was still gasping for breath when she heard Liu Xiaoxi shouting in the yard.

Zhao Hongmei thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly ran out of the house, trying to cover Liu Xiaoxi's mouth.

Who knew that Liu Xiaoxi was so agile that she couldn't catch him at all, but it made people passing by watch the fun.

"Sister-in-law, we have already separated. Why did you start searching everywhere in my house as soon as you entered? "

"I don't have any...don't talk nonsense."

Zhao Hongmei argued angrily, but everyone standing at the door of Gu's house watching the excitement saw that it was Zhao Hongmei who was chasing Liu Xiaoxi and beating her. Naturally, everyone sided with Liu Xiaoxi, the weaker party in this fight. Even now, no matter how Zhao Hongmei explained, it was of no avail.

"What's wrong? What's all the fuss?"

After Aunt Gu Zhang Qiaomei got off work, she saw her yard surrounded by a group of people, and her daughter-in-law was at a loss as to what to do in the yard.

"What is this doing?"

Zhao Hongmei was startled when she suddenly heard her mother-in-law's voice. Then she remembered how her mother-in-law had told her many times not to provoke Gu Zhan and his wife. Now...

Zhao Hongmei had only one thought in her mind: she was probably finished.

Just as Zhang Qiaomei finished her words, Liu Xiaoxi's voice rang out, "Second Aunt, please judge for yourself. My sister-in-law suddenly ran into my room and said I bought a lot of things, and then she started rummaging through them. How can that be justified?"

Zhang Qiaomei felt a black screen before her eyes. She had warned her stupid daughter-in-law many times, but she still didn't listen.

"I'm sorry, niece-in-law. Your sister-in-law is ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Liu Xiaoxi just felt uncomfortable with the corners of her eyes twitching. Her second aunt really knew how to avoid the important issues.

"Second Aunt, now that our two families have separated, there are still differences. I hope Second Aunt can control my younger sister-in-law and ask her to be more restrained."

Zhang Qiaomei's face was terribly gloomy. She had thought that according to Liu Xiaoxi's personality, she could just coax her with a few words and the matter would be over. Who knew that this girl would not listen to her and even started to lecture her.

With so many people watching, she could only start with her daughter-in-law.

With a loud slap, Zhang Qiaomei slapped Zhao Hongmei hard in the face: "Why did you listen to the old lady's nonsense? They have already divided the family business, what does it have to do with you whether they buy things or not?"

What Zhang Qiaomei said was not false. She heard Zhao Dani and Zhao Hongmei whispering about something last night. Who knew it was such a thing.

This old lady is now afraid that Gu Zhan will punish her, so she actually dares to instigate her daughter-in-law to go to Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi's room.

Zhao Hongmei reacted quickly and just cried and said that she was threatened by the old lady.
