Chapter 214: Everyone Feels Guilty
Gu Fei and Gu Qing went back to the next door. Gu Qing continued to sweep the yard. Seeing that no one was around, Gu Fei took out an old piece of clothing from the space and covered her head and face. She tied a bamboo pole to the broom and started to beat the dust.
The brother and sister worked for a whole day before they almost cleaned up the building and yard in front. Seeing that the city gate was about to close, the two hurried home.
They had dinner when they got home.
At the dinner table, Chen couldn't help but talk about the gossip about the farm over there.
"Alas, I also went to see Xing'er this afternoon. I heard that she is better. She has been awake for a long time and has not vomited much."
"Now Xing'er is insisting that she is still a virgin and refuses to marry Shanzi."
"Shanzi knelt on the ground to beg her this afternoon, but she refused to nod."
Gu Fei picked up a chopstick of food, "What did the aunt say?"
Chen snorted, "She now wants Shanzi's family to pay ten taels of silver, and is looking for a suitable family everywhere, wanting to marry Xing'er off quickly."
Li Chunhua said faintly, "The aunt is afraid that Xing'er will be a waste of money."
"That's right!" Chen agreed deeply, "I'm not saying that, but the sister-in-law only has money in her eyes. What good family can she find in such a hurry?"
Chen glanced at the maids on the table and said meaningfully, "So, this girl must not make any mistakes. Sometimes, a wrong step will ruin her life."
Gu Fei felt her mother's eyes sweeping over her, and her whole body tensed up. What did I do? I didn't do anything.
I just watched lanterns with someone on the Lantern Festival, and we didn't even hold hands.
This isn't talking about me, right? No way!
Lanzhi was in a state of confusion, the aunt must be talking to me!
Erlang always likes to talk to her, so she has to stay away from him in the future.
Lian'er ate her meal calmly, well, in the future, she would try to avoid the men in the house.
Chen looked around and saw that some bowed their heads and some dodged. She knew that the trick of shaking the tiger had some effect, so she nodded with satisfaction.
In the next few days, Gu Fei was busy like a top.
First, she cleaned up the sanitation, then went to the furniture store, customized some furniture she needed, bought some ready-made furniture, and tables, chairs and benches, and then asked the painter to apply black paint.
She planned to paint the furniture herself, but it was too expensive to hire a craftsman who could paint, and Gu Fei was reluctant to do so. She had some painting skills and could handle simple flowers.
I went to the cloth shop and ordered a batch of fine cotton sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, and bed curtains, all in light colors, which looked clean.
Silk was too expensive, so Gu Fei only ordered a few sets, leaving them for the guests in the Tianzi-shaped rooms.
After repairing various places in the store, Gu Fei asked the tiler to rebuild the toilet, adding a few more places, separating men and women, paving the floor with stone slabs, and placing buckets inside, so that people could flush with water after going to the toilet. It was much cleaner than before.
Seeing that everything was on track, Gu Fei asked Gu Zhang to write a recruitment notice for her on a big red paper and posted it outside the door early in the morning. She wanted to recruit a cook, a kitchen helper, several waiters, and a maid to wash clothes and quilts, and a maid to wash dishes and clean.
After posting the recruitment notice, Gu Fei stood at the door and tilted her head to look at it. She felt that she was about to become the CEO and reach the peak of her life.
As she was watching, a shadow came over. Gu Fei turned around and saw Xiao Yu riding on a horse. Today he had changed into a sable cloak with a black jacquard brocade surface. Against his handsome face, he looked both handsome and imposing.
