Chapter 228 Ordering Ducklings
This was the first time that Gu Qingqing saw scenery other than the road to town.
The sky is the same, but she feels it will be even bluer as she faces the unknown ahead.
The mountain is the same mountain, but it looks more and more unique when viewed from different angles.
The willow trees by the roadside had not yet sprouted. She took a deep breath, as if she could already smell the scent of spring.
She clearly didn't say anything, but a cheerful chirping atmosphere emanated from her whole body.
When they met in the morning, Gu Qingqing told them about the treatment, which made them both very happy.
At the same time, Gu Qingqing also increased her plan from yesterday to raise 200 chickens each, and Yang Xing said confidently that there would be no problem.
At this time, Wu Fang saw her sitting on the ox cart and looking around, and couldn't help but ask, "Qingqing, what are you looking at? You look so excited."
Gu Qingqing chuckled, pointed forward with his arm, and drew from left to right what he could see, pointing out the mountains and rivers and saying, "I'm looking at the myriad colors here."
"What? What are you looking at? Where is it?" Wu Fang heard it clearly, but did not understand it. She stretched her neck to look in the direction she pointed.
"A riot of colour?" Yang Xing was also surprised.
They looked in the direction where Gu Qingqing's finger was pointing, and what they saw was one piece of dry wasteland after another.
"Where is the colorful scene you mentioned?" Wu Fang asked.
Gu Qingqing turned around and saw that both of them were full of suspicion. She couldn't help but chuckle, "When spring comes and flowers bloom, tender branches sprout buds, and flowers and butterflies accompany each other, it will be a beautiful sight with thousands of colors."
Wu Fang then realized that she was being teased. She secretly glanced at the old ox driving the cart and said, "Okay, you were talking about something that would happen in a month, but you are teasing us now." With her hands, she tried to tickle Gu Qingqing in a covert and playful manner.
Seeing that Yang Xing was about to come closer, Gu Qingqing quickly clasped her hands together and begged for mercy.
No, there are outsiders here, she dare not laugh out loud without restraint.
As a result, she was not at peace along the way. She made everyone laugh from time to time, and the journey that was supposed to take nearly two hours was completed in the blink of an eye amidst laughter.
When they arrived at Jiangping Town, Wu Fang became more talkative, pointing at the shops along the way and giving some introductions and gossip.
For example, the food in this shop is the best.
For example, you can't buy the things in this dim sum shop because the owner knows how to judge people by their appearance. He will sell leftover pastries to simple-looking villagers, and will sell newly made pastries to people who are well-dressed and look like they are from wealthy families in town.
Even when the elderly from the village come, the people will specifically sell them things that the people in the town don't like.
For example, this cloth shop had a funny story a few years ago. The boss was disgusted with his original wife for only giving birth to two daughters with him and no more children. So he somehow hooked up with a girl in the village and got her pregnant.
As it turned out, the girl had three tall and strong brothers and a powerful sister-in-law behind her. They forced the cloth shop owner to divorce his original wife and marry their girl, otherwise they would go to the county to sue him for abducting a decent woman.
Gu Qingqing was overwhelmed by what she heard. Seeing that the other party was selling the lawsuit at a critical moment, she hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"
Wu Fang sneered at the shop over there, then whispered, "What else can I do? I'll just divorce him."
Gu Qingqing was a little surprised, "Divorced? Didn't you marry the one outside as a concubine?"
It was impossible for her to accept sharing a husband with other women, but in this era, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines as long as they were capable of doing so.
Yang Xing obviously knew about this, and said, "I heard that the girl was making a fuss and refused to let her sister be a concubine. Moreover, they found an experienced person to check and said that she was pregnant with a boy."
When Yang Xing said the last sentence, her voice was obviously much softer, as if she didn't want outsiders to hear it.
Gu Qingqing made a series of "tsk tsk tsk" noises after hearing this. According to what they said, the girl was only about three months pregnant at most. In later times, only with high technology could we tell the gender of the baby. In this era, how could we tell the gender of the baby since the belly hasn't even become round or pointed?
"Then the original wife also failed to get a divorce? It was obviously the man who was at fault." After saying this, Gu Qingqing suddenly felt a little guilty.
When Wen Wuyan was carried back that day, she shamelessly wanted to divorce, but Wen Wuyan ignored her.
She really didn't understand much before, but now she knows all about these things clearly.
If she had really insisted that day, Wen Wuyan could have given her a divorce letter based on the fact that she had no offspring among the seven reasons for divorce.
As for divorce?
On the surface, the divorce letter is written based on the principle that peace is the most important thing for both parties. It can also be understood that the man was at fault and the only chance the wife can get when facing divorce is peace.
Obviously, the shop owner's original wife did not seize this opportunity.
Yang Xing shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. I just heard a few words from the customers who came to buy braised meat that day."
Just as Gu Qingqing was sighing, Wu Fang suddenly pointed in a direction and said happily, "Qingqing, look, I usually set up a stall there."
Gu Qingqing looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw the front end of an intersection. The main road was not far away, but the place was not very spacious.
Then she felt relieved. Yes, if the place was really comfortable everywhere, it would not be their turn to occupy it.
"This place is great, right next to the main road. No wonder your business was so booming back then." Gu Qingqing praised sincerely.
Wu Fang and Yang Xing were a little embarrassed by being fired. "Well, we didn't know what to do at first, so we just wanted to go to a place with many people. In the end, after choosing and choosing, we decided that this place was the most suitable."
"Vision is also part of strength. It's because you know how to choose a location that your business is so good." Gu Qingqing continued to praise.
"Wait here, I'll go ask the shop over there." Wu Fang said to Gu Qingqing, then leaned forward slightly and called to the old uncle Niu who was driving the cart, "Uncle, stop here, I'll get off and ask for directions."
Uncle Niu would sit on the shaft of the cart to rest for a while on the way here. When he was almost to the town, he would lead the ox. When he heard Wu Fang's voice in front, he let out a "whoa" and the slow old ox cart stopped.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqing pulled Yang Xing out of the car to inquire, and sure enough, they found out the truth after just a few questions.
However, they ran too far, and the family was in a village they passed by before entering the town.
Wu Fang said with some self-blame, "Well, I just wanted to go to the town to ask, but I was stupid and didn't think of asking people on the road first. This made us run an extra quarter of an hour for nothing."
Gu Qingqing hurriedly comforted her, saying, "You can't be blamed for this. The three of us plus Uncle Niu didn't expect this."
After saying this, Gu Qingqing looked up at the sky. It should be the end of the Si hour now. She simply said, "It's getting late. Since we are going back the way we came, we will definitely go back that way after seeing it. So let's go eat something to fill our stomachs first. Do you know what delicious food is here?"
Wu Fang and Yang Xing looked at each other, and after thinking for a long time, their eyes suddenly lit up.
The two of them said the word "mutton soup" almost at the same time.
