Chapter 501: 1 Desire to be Rich
Xu Zaohua ate two pieces of honeydew melon and sent all the maids and servants out of the house.
Gu Ruinian's gaze lingered on the maid's receding back, which naturally could not be hidden from Xu Zaohua. Xu Zaohua rolled her eyes secretly and cursed the short-sighted man in her heart.
"Sister Zaohua, do you want me to meet the Second Young Master Lian here?" Gu Ruinian asked impatiently, thinking about Lian Hengruo.
Xu Zaohua frowned. What an idiot! How could she let the Second Master Lian enter her house?
She saw that Gu Ruinian was obsessed with getting rich, so she let him come to the Zheng family to gain some experience, so that she could kill his desire for wealth and make use of him.
If Gu Ruinian backs out temporarily, her plan will fail.
Xu Zaohua smiled and said, "Why rush? Let's talk first and then make plans after lunch."
Gu Ruinian didn't know what Xu Zaohua was planning.
He couldn't wait to be together with Lian Hengruo. Isn't Xu Zaohua a hanged man?
Suddenly he remembered that Xu Zaohua was a young widow. Could it be that Xu Zaohua had some feelings for him and deliberately lured him in?
The more I look at Xu Zaohua's smiling eyes, the more they look alike.
It is not impossible for Xu Zaohua to take the Zheng family's property and become his confidant, but he can only develop further with Zaohua after he successfully marries Lian Hengruo.
Gu Ruinian said cautiously: "Sister Zaohua, if the master of the Zheng family knew that I came to the Zheng family, would he be angry?"
He wanted to remind Xu Zaohua that you, a widow, are not afraid that the Zheng family will have a problem with you if you meet a man from another family? Hurry up and leave the Zheng family to meet the second son of Lian.
Xu Zaohua said nonchalantly: "I have already told my parents-in-law that you are my cousin, and you came to see me and the child today."
Gu Ruinian believed it, how could one let relatives from one's mother's side go through the corner gate?
It can be seen that Xu Zaohua was a widow and lonely, so she lied to him on purpose.
Seeing that Gu Ruinian didn't believe her, Xu Zaohua said, "Are you trying to say that since my parents-in-law knew you were a guest, why didn't they let you go through the front door? The Zheng family is so mean, let alone my cousin, even my parents have to go through the side door when they come to the Zheng family."
Gu Ruinian felt a sudden blow to his heart.
Feeling slighted again.
Xu Zaohua chatted with Gu Ruinian, and the topic revolved around the affairs of Qinghe Bay. When she learned from Gu Ruinian that Gu Jingzhe had engaged to the young lady of the Lu family in the capital, she was so angry that she almost tore her handkerchief.
Could it be that Xu Zaohua has turned her love for Gu Jingzhe into hatred?
Gu Ruinian stopped talking and rolled his eyes.
Don't underestimate a woman's hatred. That hatred can extinguish reason and become a weapon to stab the enemy.
He also hated Gu Jingzhe.
He can make good use of Xu Zaohua's hatred.
"Sister Zaohua, Gu Jingzhe is the first in the case, and my brother-in-law is the top scorer in this year's exam. He will have money and a bright future. My aunt and the others will be even more proud and will trample the entire Qinghe Bay under their feet."
"Bullshit. If she wants to step on it, she has the ability to do so." Xu Zaohua's anger was indeed ignited.
Well, Widow Tong’s business is doing well, so don’t blame her for being rude.
She had to think carefully about how to deal with Widow Tong. Since she couldn't become Widow Tong's daughter-in-law, she would just become her enemy.
Gu Ruinian saw this and was very happy. He finally aroused Xu Zaohua's hatred towards Widow Tong and her bunch of kids.
Gu Ruinian continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "It was only after I came to the village that I found out that Uncle Xu was framed by my aunt. Unfortunately, I was not at home at the time."
Xu Zaohua thought, what could have happened if you were at home at that time? Now you are being beaten by Widow Tong.
But his own revenge has not yet been avenged.
"Sister Zaohua, after I marry Miss Lian Er, let's join forces to deal with my aunt. We can't let her get too proud in Qinghe Bay." Gu Ruinian turned the topic back to Miss Lian Er. He didn't want to chat with Xu Zaohua. He wanted to go and see Mr. Lian Er right away, and then see Miss Lian Er through Mr. Lian Er.
Xu Zaohua said: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
As noon approached, Gu Ruinian suddenly thought of why Xu Zaohua wanted to help him deal with Miss Lian Er, relying on the friendship between her and her original body when they were children to deal with Gu Taohua? He was not that naive.
It was his fault that he was so anxious to see Miss Lian Er that he forgot about this.
Could it be that Xu Zaohua was really so lonely that she wanted to use him to vent her sexual desire?
It’s not possible now. He has no foundation now. If the Zheng family finds out, he’ll be finished.
Xu Zaohua sneered. She didn't mind telling Gu Ruinian.
She said, "I don't want Miss Lian Er to marry my brother-in-law."
Oh, I got it!
Gu Ruinian thought that Xu Zaohua was so shameless that she actually hooked up with her brother-in-law.
But in the next moment, he became angry and ashamed because he misunderstood that Xu Zaohua wanted him to be her lover. It was all because Xu Zaohua didn't explain clearly, which led to his wild imagination.
Xu Zaohua didn't know that this country boy from Qinghewan, whom she looked down upon, had hated her several times since he came into the house.
"After lunch, I'll take you to see Mr. Lian. It has to be in the afternoon, Mr. Lian doesn't get up in the morning."
Xu Zaohua clapped her hands as she spoke.
There was a rustling sound outside, and Gu Ruinian saw the maids and servants appearing from nowhere and starting to get busy.
Set the table, pull the tablecloth, and pour water.
Xu Zaohua brought Gu Ruinian to the table and sat down. A maid helped them wash their hands.
Then the maids and servants outside came into the room with lunch boxes. A servant handed the box to a maid, who placed it in front of Xu Zaohua, then opened the lid and introduced what the dishes were one by one.
"Madam, this is braised deer antler."
"This is pheasant stew."
“It’s steamed sea bass.”
Xu Zaohua waved her hand, signaling the maid to place the dishes in front of Gu Ruinian.
Look at Gu Ruinian’s greedy look.
Is Gu Youtian's family so poor?
"This is braised pork. It is said that the pork comes from your mother's village. It doesn't have any smell or fishy taste. Would you like to try it?" The maid placed the braised pork in front of Xu Zaohua.
Pork from Qinghe Bay?
Xu Zaohua had a gloomy face. This pig was raised by Widow Tong, and she would not eat it no matter how delicious it was.
"Withdraw."
The maid didn't understand why the eldest young lady suddenly got angry, but she was used to it. The eldest young lady was always so moody.
"Sister Zaohua, give me this meat." Gu Ruinian said.
He has already gone crazy with greed.
He knew that the pork came from Widow Tong's pig farm, but so what? Xu Zaohua refused to eat it because she had a grudge against Widow Tong, but he ate it.
It's a waste to throw away such good meat.
Xu Zaohua asked the maid to place the braised pork in front of Gu Ruinian.
The table full of delicacies aroused Gu Ruinian's appetite.
Gu Youtian had never bought him such a sumptuous meal even when he was rich. This was the first time for him to have such a sumptuous family dinner since he came into this world.
What made him even more elated was that a beautiful maid stood by his side serving him, sometimes handing him a towel to wipe his hands, sometimes picking up food for him. Such a life was truly addictive.
You’ve come to the right place! You’ve come to the right place!
This is the life of a superior person!
If Xu Zaohua, the eldest daughter of a county gentry, could lead such a wealthy life, how extravagant must the lives of the top figures in this feudal society be? He vowed to go and experience it for himself.
"After you marry Miss Lian Er, you can live like this every day." Xu Zaohua saw what Gu Ruinian was thinking and smiled faintly.
Gu Ruinian stuffed his mouth with meat, nodded, and said, "Sister Zaohua, you are right, I will listen to you."
