Gu Chunzhu went back with heavy footsteps. She can't think of any ideas to make more money.

She was from the countryside in her previous life, but
Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are totally unknown to her. Seemed that she can't make a lot of money in any industry and can only do it on the ground.

She walked and was hit by a person head-on. Her shoulder in pain, before Gu Chunzhu open her mouth to say something, she was scolded,
"Don't you have eyes? Can you afford it if you injure me?"

"You ran into me, Why should I pay you?" Hearing the sharp voice, she knew it was Qiu. Gu Chunzhu frowned and coldy looked at her.

"Turned out to be the cheap hoof that hurt me several times." Qiu Shi rubbed her shoulder and pulled at the gray haired woman beside her and said, "Aunt, she bullied me at the Su's house, she just married recently and regarded herself as a scallion"
(T/N: she's saying like who does she think she is?)

"You say that again?" Gu Chunzhu took off the basket behind her back and touched the edge of the bucket with one hand.

If Qiu said another unpleasant word, she'll strike her head, beating her until she forget her own mother.

"Xiuer, how can you have time to talk to your sister-in-law, your cousin is too busy in town and ask for our help. Let's go. "
The grey haired woman smiled.

When Gu Chunzhu ran business in her previous life , no one had ignored her

This Old lady was Qiu's aunt, the widowed mother of Niu Buping. The haze at the bottom of her eyes has long exposed her true nature, she looked like a smiling tiger.

Qiu's "issued a hmp" and was dragged by the old woman a few steps away.

She reluctantly looked back at Chunzhu and said "You wait for me, my cousin's business of river shrimp is growing, If this river shrimp becomes all wrapped up, you will nest in your mud house like a dog guarding the two small wild species there"

Gu Chunzhu was so angry, she wanted to tear Qiu's broken mouth but
Qiu had been pulled several meters by the old woman so Gu Chunzhu picked up a stone and threw it on her instead.

"Aw!, Gu Chunzhu you son of a bitch!"
The stone had hit Qiu's back and she bounced like a river shrimp. If it was not for her aunt pulling her, she would have come and beat people.

Seeing Gu chunzhu's appearance ready to fight any time, Qiu still showed cowardice and was pulled away by the old woman.

What a disappointment to meet Qiu shi. Gu Chunzhu murmurs in her heart.

She then quickened her pace to go home. She doesn't want to meet any annoying people anymore.

Back home, she saw Sister Fu looking forward at the door, as if waiting for her. Gu Chunzhu asked,
"Is Sister-in-law waiting for me?"

Sister Fu rubbed her hands and remained silent.

"There's nothing more to say. Brother Wangqin and Brother Dafu are good friends, we're also both in good terms and neither of us know that Su family isn't up to any good. We can be regarded as good neighbors." Gu Chunzhu looked at her sincerely and said what was in her heart. She really like Sister Fu's good nature.

But Gu Chunzu couldn't stop wondering what's going on

"Then I'll tell you straight. Your Mother is here, I don't know what's going on inside!" Said Siter Fu with a worried face,  feeling anxious for her.

"Which mother?" Gu Chunzhu blurted out

"Your mother Gu Hao." Sister Fu sighed.

If its Old Mrs Su, she can stop her, but It was her Mother. She was embarrassed to say anything.

"It's her. What is she doing here?" Gu Chunzu brows furrowed so deep even flies can't skip. She ran towards the wooden door, looked back and turned her head and said, "Thank you, sister-in- law."

Sister Fu nodded at her and beckoned her to go have a look.

The lock of the wooden door has been taken off. Just after Gu Chunzhu entered the yard,she heard the sound of water coming from the inner room. She heard Hao saying in a joyful tone "Oh, more weight. Will you put more pressure on my shoulder? On the left, on the left!"

Gu Chunzu quietly put the basket in the yard and went straight into the inner room, she kicked the door open.

She saw Hao Shi sitting on her bed.
It was daytime, but the charcoal fire was burning the pot. It was warm inside.

Gu Chunzhu gnashed her teeth at the sight!

Xiao Cheng stood on the bed massaging the Old lady's shoulder while An An a four-year-old kid, was holding a foot basin and washing her feet.

Hao's feet has not been washed for many days, there was a layer of gray mud floating in the basin.
An An's sleeve was dragged in the foot basin and was thoroughly soaked.

"What the hell are you doing--" Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but swear.

"Oh! You scared your mother to death."
Hao patted her chest and watched Gu Chunzhu, she laughed as the fat on her face shuddered. "It's also very useful to have two money losing goods. I'm very comfortable"

"An'an is not a loser!" An'an raised her head and looked at Gu Chunzhu. After shaking the water on her hands, she ran to Gu Chunzhu and argued: "My mother said that she likes An An the best. An  An is her heart and soul."

"Little brute, you splashed water on my face." Hao shi spit a saliva, step on the edge of the bucket to dry his feet and disdainfuly looked at An An

Gu Chunzhu's chest kept rising and falling, her face dark like the bottom of a pot. She tried to control her own language. "XiaoCheng get out and take your sister to wash her hands. Didn't mother tell you that dirty things can't be touched?"

 Xiaocheng obediently gets out of bed and leads An An outside the house,
His phoenix's eyes swept to Hao's face, as the corners of his thin lips slightly raised.

Seeing that both children were gone, Hao Shi hummered her shoulder and said dissatisfiedly "Why did you let them go, my shoulders are still sore."

   "I'll do whatever Mother wants. Why bother the two children? Besides, you're not their grandma." Gu Chunzhu's voice was flat but frightening. Hao Shi have no idea that Gu Chunzhu would pinch her shoulder.

Gu Chunzhu has short nails but long fingertips, she pinches Huo's meaty shoulder with a quick turn.

"Ahhh!" Hao shi howled like a pig being butchered, she almost overturn the roof.

She wanted to slap Gu Chunzhu's hand away but was pinched by her again.
Gu Chunzu said calmly, "Don't cry Mother you have an old problem with your back so Im putting a bit strength."

Hao shi couldn't stand it and kicked over the foot basin.

When Gu Chunzhu finally stepped back, Hao shi stood up and cried out, "Gu Chunzhu, did I gave birth to you in vain just to make fun of me like this. I just let the two kids do some work and you're like this? Do you really think of these two wild species as your own? "

"They call me Mother, I have to protect them." Gu Chunzhu rolled her eyes to Hao Shi and tried to control herself from beating her. After all, she is the mother of the original owner.

Her mouth satirizes Hao Shi's words all the time, "It didn't matter if they were born from me or not. You didn't even care about my dowry after you received twelve silvers ."
