Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Xu Fengjuan really didn't come here to deliberately annoy Gu Qingsong.

She wanted to please Gu Qingsong in order to find a way out of her miserable life.

But he was reluctant to give Gu Qingsong anything truly good, so after much deliberation, he reluctantly took out these few cornbreads.

They even made them smaller, trying to save as much grain as possible while still ensuring a decent quantity.

In the past, Xu Fengjuan relied on her parents' doting love and could get what she wanted just by playing the victim, without having to use her brain at all.

Moreover, even when she frequently caused trouble, her parents would always help her resolve it, so she never suffered a loss.

Therefore, when Xu Fengjuan encounters problems that require thought and analysis, she always feels at a loss.

This clumsy scheme was something she had come up with after being rejected by her family, and it took her a long time to come up with it on her own.

Xu Fengjuan felt she had used all her skills, but she forgot that not everyone would fall for her tricks.

Although Xu Fengjuan remarried when Gu Qingsong was very young, he still knew his "mother" very well.

Dealing with Xu Fengjuan is so easy, it doesn't even take much effort.

Gu Qingsong asked coldly, "You want to come to Haishi with me?"

"Hai, Haishi?"

Xu Fengjuan was overwhelmed by the sudden surprise, and her dark face flushed with excitement.

Good heavens! She never expected Gu Qingsong to care about her. She just wanted to take advantage of Gu Qingsong's return to the village to squeeze some money out of him so she could save it for her coffin in her later years.

But what did Gu Qingsong say again?

Follow him to Haishi!

If she could really go to Haishi, Xu Fengjuan was so excited that she could hardly breathe.

If she really went to Haishi, firstly, she could renege on her debts to her relatives and friends.

She hadn't realized it before, but since taking on a heavy debt, she finally understood how happy she was before when she was debt-free.

Secondly, apart from the few years she spent as a young mistress after marrying Gu Qingsong's father, during which she enjoyed some happiness, she hasn't had a single good day since remarrying.

Now they toil in the fields, their food entirely dependent on their own labor, and they also have to support a disabled child.

Things will be different after you go to Haishi!

Xu Fengjuan is about to become a city dweller, and from now on she can enjoy a life of luxury like an old lady in the city every day.

Xu Fengjuan was so amused by her own imagination that her mouth stretched almost to her ears.

Before she could even figure out how to gracefully agree to Gu Qingsong's request for retirement, her short-lived dream was shattered.

Gu Qingsong admired Xu Fengjuan's daydreaming for a while, then maliciously curled his lips into a wicked smile.

"It's good that you come to Haishi with me. You're still young and can do more jobs."

"Work?" Xu Fengjuan was a little confused. This was quite different from the comfortable retirement life she had imagined.

Gu Qingsong replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, I rely on my wife to support me in the city, but she still has to study and doesn't have much time to work and earn money. Besides, I can't bear to see her do heavy work."

Gu Qingsong looked at Xu Fengjuan and said seemingly sincerely, "It's perfect that you can do more hard and tiring work after you go there. Eat less and work more every day, and maybe you can support me and the two children."

Xu Fengjuan's scalp was about to explode. She was already so old, yet she still had to work so hard to support her son and grandchildren.

Gu Qingsong was still listing out what jobs Xu Fengjuan could do in the city, and Xu Fengjuan was about to faint from listening.

Are those jobs even humanly possible? She'd be better off staying in the countryside and farming!

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Xu Fengjuan forced a smile and tentatively asked, "Mom gave birth to you, so strong and healthy, what do you do in the city?"

Gu Qingsong said matter-of-factly, "I don't do any work. I just don't like doing that strenuous stuff."

Lin An'an was listening from the side and almost burst out laughing, but she was having a hard time holding it in.

At this moment, he pretended to be innocent and chimed in, "Yes, Brother Qingsong doesn't like to work, and I can't bear to see him do it either."

Gu Qingsong, looking touched, took Lin An'an's hand and said, "Honey, don't worry. Although I don't do it, my mom is very efficient at it."

"Once she goes to the city, she'll definitely work hard! Maybe she can even pay off all the debts we owe."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengjuan was so shocked that her voice rose: "You still have debts in the city?!"

Gu Qingsong said calmly, "Of course, my wife is the sole breadwinner of the family. Besides, expenses are high in the city. I need to eat meat at every meal, so how could she earn so much money?"

"That's why I came back to hide for a while after accumulating a lot of debt in the city and couldn't make ends meet."

Xu Fengjuan stomped her foot hard and gritted her teeth, saying, "Can't you eat something more substantial? Who eats meat every meal?"

Lin An'an interjected unhappily, "How can we not eat meat? Everyone in the city eats meat. Even if my child and I don't eat it, I still have to provide meat for Brother Qingsong!"

After saying that, his expression changed, and he instantly looked at Xu Fengjuan with a smile and said, "But I'll be relieved soon."

Looking at Lin An'an's smile, Xu Fengjuan felt a chill run down her spine.

They're treating her like a pig waiting to be slaughtered!

Xu Fengjuan looked at Gu Qingsong with a grateful expression and didn't want to talk to them anymore.

He reached out and snatched his basket, intending to turn his back and leave.
