Chapter 169 Calculation
"Master, my legs hurt so badly. Your carriage is fast. Please have mercy on me and take me to the infirmary in town. I will never forget this kindness."
Mo Changfeng, who was standing by, shook his head secretly after hearing this. Even Meng Changfeng couldn't solve the problem easily, so if it happened to him, the result would probably be even worse.
He sneered in his heart, what a good-for-nothing.
Mo Changfeng thought about it and proposed a compromise: "How about this, you wait here patiently, and when I arrive in town, I will send someone to check on you, so you don't have to travel that far, how do you think?"
In fact, this was just another way of saying that they were unwilling to let Gu Qing get in the car.
There was obvious indifference in Meng Changfeng's eyes. He knew all about the woman's thoughts, and he became more and more impatient.
How many of those women who tried to cling to the rich and powerful through various means were sincere? Meng Changfeng even suspected that Gu Qing's foot was not injured at all, and all this was just an excuse to take advantage of their ride.
When Gu Qing heard that the other party would rather send someone to find a doctor than take her with him, a gloomy look suddenly flashed across her face.
However, the man in front of him was not one of those lustful men. He was handsome, gentle, and well-mannered. To win his favor, it obviously required more wisdom and scheming.
At this moment, Gu Qing had a flash of inspiration. She thought that the two of them were going to visit Ran He's home. If she claimed that she was related to Ran He, would she be able to get on the bus smoothly?
However, this thought was like a sharp blade, cutting through Gu Qing's heart, leaving a bloody wound.
Why could Ran He have everything she dreamed of so easily, not only receiving personal visits from two noble gentlemen and enjoying supreme honor, but she could only compromise in the name of Ran He.
One day, when she becomes successful, she will trample on Ran He and make her taste the taste of failure!
At this moment, in order to achieve her goal, she could only endure the humiliation.
"Big brother, I see you are going to my sister-in-law's place, right?"
Gu Qing tried to speak, with a barely perceptible cunning in his tone.
Meng Changfeng frowned even more tightly when he heard this, "Your sister-in-law?"
"Yes, Wu Xu is my second brother, and Ran He is naturally my second sister-in-law. She often mentions you in front of me."
Gu Qing lied without batting an eyelid at this moment, and his ability to fabricate stories out of thin air was astonishing.
Meng Changfeng was surprised by this, but did not completely believe it.
After all, from the very beginning, this woman did not leave a good impression on him.
Combined with the little he knew about Ran He's family situation, Ran He never described Wu Xu's family members in detail, let alone this so-called "sister-in-law".
Even so, considering the human relationships, he decided to give Gu Qing face.
Just at this moment, a passing woman caught his attention. He quickly waved to her and handed her a tael of silver. "Auntie, please go to Ran He's house and tell them that her sister-in-law sprained her foot at the entrance of the village and can't walk."
After giving the instructions, Cheng Yu got into the car without any reluctance. He looked coldly through the window and no longer paid any attention to Gu Qing.
The coachman understood his master's intention and shouted softly. The carriage then made a slight creaking sound and slowly drove away, raising a cloud of dust, like a resolute mood, leaving Gu Qing's lonely figure behind.
Gu Qing's body was pressed against the dry ground, with a bitter smile on her lips and her eyes full of unwillingness and humiliation. Dust mixed with tears left traces on her face.
She was filled with rage and slammed her fist into the hard ground. That heavy blow seemed to pour out all the resentment and loss in her heart onto this silent land through this force.
At the side, the old lady who had just received one or two taels of silver had a flash of contempt and gloating in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "Gu Qing's cleverness is well-known in the village. He was born in a humble family, but he always dreamed of turning from a sparrow into a phoenix."
Look at those two gorgeously dressed noblemen, how could she be so high up as to marry them? It was simply a living example of a fool's dream.
Gu Qing struggled to stand up, his eyes as sharp as ice, fixed on the old woman's face: "Hand over that one or two taels of silver immediately!"
Although the voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
When the old woman heard this, she was not willing to give up this piece of fat meat so easily. She quickly held the silver in her hand tightly, and did not forget to argue: "Why? This is a reward from the noble, not your money!"
"He asked you to take the silver to find Ran He. Now I don't need you to do it for me. Give me the money immediately!"
After Gu Qing finished speaking, he swept away his previous embarrassment and stood up swiftly. The weakness in his expression was long gone, replaced by unprecedented decisiveness.
The old woman knew she was in the wrong, and she also knew that if Gu Qing really got angry, she would be in trouble. She could only reluctantly take out the warm silver dollar from her bosom. This process undoubtedly became another laughing stock for the surrounding villagers after dinner.
Although she got the silver unexpectedly, this little wealth was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for her dream of becoming rich and powerful.
Gu Qing's mood became increasingly heavy. When he returned home, he seemed to be shrouded in a gloom and looked depressed.
Seeing this, Xie Di's dissatisfaction finally exploded: "You are nowhere to be seen all day long, and you don't care about anything at home. I have to take care of my mother, do housework, and help dry mushrooms. What about you? You just wander around outside all day long!"
His words were filled with fatigue and resentment.
Gu Qing pretended not to hear anything, walked straight into his room and threw himself on the bed. This indifference completely angered Xie Di, and a wave of reproaches like a storm followed.
While scolding, Xie Di had already quietly made plans in her mind.
She has already discussed the matter privately with her parents' family, and soon a matchmaker will come to propose marriage. By then, she can marry Gu Qing off successfully and get a considerable amount of dowry in return, and the family's situation may improve as a result.
At this moment, Wu Ming walked into the house with a gloomy face and heavy steps, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to exude a solemn aura.
"What happened? I just asked you to go to the town to inquire about the mushroom harvest. Why are you so upset?"
Xie Di was confused and puzzled.
Wu Ming spoke slowly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "I went to ask, but there are not many vendors willing to buy dried mushrooms. Even if there are people willing to buy, the price is pitifully low, only one cent per pound, and they are limited in quantity."
"How can it be!"
Xie Di was astonished. "Fresh mushrooms in Ranhe sell for three cents a pound, how can dried mushrooms only cost one cent? This is a joke!"
"No one is forcing you to sell it. If you don't want to, you don't have to contact them. But as for the situation in other parts of the town, I have no idea."
Wu Ming spread his hands, expressing helplessness.
