Ch 65: Starting To Bully Wang Cuie
After washing the dishes, Wang Cuie took out the mop from the bathroom and prepared to mop the whole house.
She was a diligent person by nature and couldn’t stay idle.
When she was at the Shen family, what kind of work hadn’t she done? Shen Fuzhu was an unreliable lazy man, so Wang Cuie was a skilled hand at farm work.
Having rested for most of the day at the Gu family today, she felt quite embarrassed for having done almost nothing, so she also wanted to do something within her capabilities.
“Hey, Mother-in-law, you should rest. You don’t need to mop the floor.”
Seeing Wang Cuie’s diligent manner, Tian Shufang quickly stepped forward to stop her.
She was genuinely a little worried that Wang Cuie would get tired, because she had gone to the kitchen to take a look just now, and in just that short time, Wang Cuie had not only washed the dishes and plates but also wiped down the kitchen stove.
As soon as you went in, it was so clean and bright!
Now seeing Wang Cuie still cleaning, she worried that she couldn’t handle it.
“It’s okay, I’m not tired at all. The floor will be clean in a little while.”
Wang Cuie spoke while lowering her head to mop the floor. Wherever she went, it was very clean, and there wasn’t a drop of sweat on her forehead.
This level of work was a piece of cake for her; it was far easier than the work she had done at the Shen family.
Seeing that she couldn’t stop her, Tian Shufang let her clean.
Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Xiaofei saw all this and was disdainful.
“She’s just a cleaning maid, so poor and stingy, and she’s actually staying in my room.”
She muttered angrily to herself, a flash of scheming in her eyes, then turned and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Tian Shufang looked at the clean floor and praised Wang Cuie endlessly.
“Lao Gu, I think it’s really good that we kept Mother-in-law. She’s so diligent, and she’s a good person!”
Lying in bed that night, Tian Shufang turned to Gu Jianjun.
Gu Jianjun chuckled. In less than a day, his wife had been won over by Wang Cuie. Look at how intimate they are, calling each other “in-laws.”
But he also nodded in agreement with Tian Shufang’s opinion. Wang Cuie was indeed very good, and there was nothing to fault her for.
Let it be for now, and we’ll observe her carefully later.
After chatting for a few words, the two fell asleep. Wang Cuie found it hard to sleep on her first night in this unfamiliar environment.
Considering this problem, Shen Mingyue specially went to find her mother to talk to her for a while, so that she could rest assured to stay at the Gu family, and to tell her if there was anything uncomfortable.
With her daughter’s comfort, Wang Cuie felt much more relieved.
But she felt that Shen Mingyue wasn’t having an easy time either, and didn’t want to add trouble to her.
After chatting for a while, Shen Mingyue saw that her mother was sleepy and left. After all, she was pregnant and shouldn’t stay up too late.
The next morning, Wang Cuie got up early to cook.
Her culinary skills were quite good, but in the countryside, they always used old-fashioned stoves. In the city, families like the Gu family already used liquefied gas tanks.
Yesterday, she had specifically asked Tian Shufang how to use it, so she could manage.
When the Gu family woke up, they saw a table full of delicious food.
“Oh my, Mother-in-law, how early did you get up?”
Seeing the pumpkin millet porridge and stir-fried dishes on the table, Tian Shufang felt a little embarrassed, feeling that she was enslaving Wang Cuie.
“Not that early, just a little after six. I got up much earlier at home than this.”
Wang Cuie said casually, but Tian Shufang saw the calluses on her hands, and knew what kind of life she lived at home, feeling very uncomfortable inside.
When the Gu family didn’t have time to make breakfast, they usually bought some breakfast outside, which was convenient and time-saving.
But now, being able to eat a hot and fresh breakfast made at home was a different flavor.
Gu Yuanzhou took a sip of porridge, his cold and stern brow relaxing, “Delicious.”
He was always taciturn and picky about food. For him to praise something as delicious meant it was truly good.
The rest of the family also picked up their chopsticks. Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang both showed surprised expressions and praised it repeatedly.
With her mother’s cooking skills receiving the approval of others, Shen Mingyue was naturally proud.
“Nannan, do you think it’s delicious?”
Shen Mingyue looked at her daughter who was burying her head in her porridge and asked.
The little girl, without raising her head, nodded vigorously, “Grandma’s cooking is super delicious!”
Her milky voice was extremely cute, causing the women at the table to smile.
Gu Sisi had originally wanted to be picky, but she found that she couldn’t stop eating!
Zhou Xiaofei got up late and had already eaten some snacks in her room, so she didn’t have much of an appetite. Facing this scene, she was secretly furious.
So quickly she started to win over the Gu family. Just like her daughter, truly shameless!
However, she had already figured out how to deal with Wang Cuie. Ideally, she would get this country woman from the countryside out.
Shen Mingyue clinging to her second brother was one thing, but why did she bring along several burdens?
After everyone in the Gu family went to work, Zhou Xiaofei specifically went to find Tian Shumei.
“Aunt, you don’t know, Shen Mingyue brought her mother along!”
“What?”
Hearing this news, Tian Shumei’s face was extremely unpleasant.
Her sister was so foolish to let an outsider live in the Gu family. It would have been better if she, her elder sister, had moved in to enjoy the good life.
Observing Tian Shumei’s expression, Zhou Xiaofei deliberately sighed, “I think it would be better if you came instead of an outsider…”
Her words hit Tian Shumei right in the heart. The woman’s eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh, “No, I have to go persuade Shufang. Such an inappropriate person can’t live in the Gu family.”
Zhou Xiaofei lowered her head to hide the upturn of her lips.
Tian Shumei naturally couldn’t wait a moment. Quickly packing her things, she went to the Gu family.
“Sister, why are you here?”
Seeing Tian Shumei at home, Tian Shufang felt a moment of doubt.
“I heard that you have guests at home, so I came to see you, and I’ll stay for a few days too.”
Tian Shumei smiled warmly at Tian Shufang. Tian Shufang naturally couldn’t ask her sister to leave, and there was indeed room in the house, so she found an empty room for her to stay in.
“Cuie, can you help me clean this room? I want to talk to my sister.”
Tian Shumei smiled enthusiastically, but there was no trace of a request in her eyes; the sentence had a commanding tone.
Wang Cuie had a good temper and didn’t think much of it. She turned around and went to clean the room.
Tian Shumei quickly grabbed Tian Shufang’s hand, “Sister, let me tell you, your mother-in-law has her own home. Why did you ask her to come and live in the Gu family?”
