Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 212 The Weak Girl of the Age 19

Several aunts comforted Guo Zhenru

Seeing the exhausted look of the three Gu family members, he did not say anything more.

The whole oxcart suddenly became quiet.

Even the sound of Master Bai cracking his whip became much quieter.

When they got to the team, several aunts couldn't wait to get off the bus and gossip with their good sisters.

It didn’t take long for everyone in the team to know that Gu Nuanyi’s illness had not been cured even in the city.

When Niu Ru heard the news, he felt relieved from head to toe.

With my hands on my hips, I laugh out loud at my misfortune.

Shen Pengzu slapped him directly: "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and send food to Bowen. Do you want to starve my son to death?"

Ever since Niu Ru broke Shen Bowen's legs and arms, she no longer dared to show off at home.

Even the financial power was taken away by Shen Pengzu

Niu Ru was slapped and didn't dare to laugh anymore. He quickly rode his bicycle to deliver food to Shen Bowen.

Shen Bowen was already extremely hungry, so he took the lunch box and started to eat voraciously, complaining to Niu Ru that he was late in delivering the meal.

"Mom, please bring it to me earlier next time. I'm almost starving. If you really can't help it, please leave some money for me so I can ask someone to help me get some from the cafeteria!"

Niu Ru said unhappily: "Where do I have any money now? Your father has taken all the money in the house!"

She can't even count money before going to bed now, which causes her to not sleep well...

Then he went on gossipingly, "Son! Let me tell you, Gu Jin took his sickly son to see a doctor. Haha, but he still couldn't get better. He only went for one day and came back. Oh~~ I felt so relieved!!!"

Shen Bowen paused while eating, then said nonchalantly: "Whether this is cured or not has nothing to do with me!"

"Of course it does matter! Son, when your arms and legs are healed, you must find me another girl from a wealthy family. It would be best if her family is richer than Pu Yulan's, so that the tuberculosis-stricken man will be pissed off to death."

Shen Bowen put down his chopsticks and said speechlessly: "Mom, do you think that's cabbage? It's not that easy to find! Besides, I'm not in the army anymore, where can I meet those girls?"

Niu Ru has a mysterious confidence in Shen Bowen: "My son is so handsome, which girl would not like him! Son, you promised me that you would lead me to a good life."

"Mom, I have nothing now, what can a girl like me? Otherwise, mom, you can ask dad to buy me a job!"

"Buy...buy a job? How much will that cost?"

"I sent all my allowance back home, it should be enough to buy me a job, right? Mom, I can find a partner if I have a job."

Seeing that Niu Ru was still hesitant, Shen Bowen rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, I'll give you all the money I make when I start working!"

Niu Ru slapped his thigh and stood up: "I'll go find your father now!"

"Buy a job?" Shen Pengzu thought for a while: "Bowen was expelled from the army, it's time to buy a job. Tomorrow I will ask the secretary to find out where there are jobs for sale."

When Niu Ru heard the promise, she was extremely happy. In her dream, there was an endless stream of money waiting for her to count. Her hands were cramped from counting...

The next day

Shen Pengzu brought breakfast to Shen Bowen and talked about buying a job

When he returned to the brigade, many people surrounded him and asked, "Shen Pengzu, where did you buy this job for your son? What kind of job is it? How much did it cost? How much salary can he get every month?"

This series of questions confused Shen Pengzu: "When did I buy a job for Bowen? How come I didn't know it?"

"Hey, you're not even telling the truth to your brothers!"

Shen Pengzu was really confused: "No, I really don't know!!!"

"So what did you do on your bike?"

"I'm going to bring breakfast to my son, he's still in the hospital."

Shen Pengzu asked angrily, "Who is spreading these nonsense everywhere?!"

"Your husband, it's as if your son Shen Bowenming went straight to work."

Shen Pengzu was choked:... This Niu Ru is really a big mouth, he can't hold back on anything, the matter of buying a job hasn't even started yet, but he has already spread it out. If he can't buy a job, those gossipy women will definitely use it as a topic of conversation and spread it everywhere...

Shen Pengzu came to the field angrily and prepared to talk to Niu Ru.

Niu Ru raised his head and said proudly, "My son said that all his wages would be given to me. Oh~~ You don't have such a good son~~~"

Shen Pengzu felt extremely embarrassed and went straight forward to pull Niu Ru away.

The scorekeeper came over with a notebook and said, "You will be deducted points for being absent from work!"

Shen Pengzu bowed and said: "Just say a few words, I'll be back soon"

The scorekeeper rolled his eyes and said, "People, you still have to work hard and don't always expect to get something for free. I'll give you 5 minutes. If you're not back in 5 minutes, you'll be considered absent from work!"

Shen Pengzu forcibly dragged Niu Ru to a deserted place, lowered his voice and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is the job purchase successful? You are telling everyone about it!!! Why are you so talkative? You are showing off now, but what if this matter fails? Then our family will become a laughing stock again."

Niu Ru disagreed: "How can this not be accomplished?"

"Nowadays, all jobs are assigned to one person, and they are passed down from family to family. Very few are sold. In the city, many people can't buy jobs even if they have money, let alone in our countryside. You really have a lot of hair but little knowledge." Shen Pengzu shook his hand away irritably: "I really have nothing to say to you. Remember, don't talk about family matters in the team anymore, and don't even show off!!!"

Niu Ru replied perfunctorily: "I know!"

Shen Pengzu narrowed his eyes and said, "You'd better know this, otherwise I won't speak to you in such a nice tone next time."

地里

An aunt who was working in the field next to Guo Zhenru came over and said, "Ru, do you know about the Shen family's son buying a job?"

Guo Zhenru said coldly: "I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing. His Shen family has nothing to do with our family anymore. You don't need to tell me about his Shen family's affairs in the future."

"You're not interested in gossip? Niu Ruke is so cocky, even saying that his son wants to find a wife who's richer than Pu Yulan's family."

"Even if he married a fairy from heaven, it has nothing to do with my Gu family! We don't want to know anything about his Shen family!!!"

The man was bored, curled his lips and went to chat with other people about gossip.

After a while, Guo Zhenru heard someone shouting, "Hey, Gu Nuanyi is here!"

I quickly raised my head and saw my daughter walking towards the field with a kettle and a basket.

Guo Zhenru quickly dropped the hoe in his hand and ran over to take the kettle from Gu Nuanyi.

"My dear! Why are you here? It's hard to walk here. Be careful not to fall."

"Mom, you and Dad left in a hurry today and forgot to bring a kettle. I'll bring you some water." She poured a bowl of water and handed it to Guo Zhenru.

"My sweetheart is so filial!" Guo Zhenru took the water and drank a sip with a smile on his face, then shouted to Gu Jin who was working hard, "Old Jin, our sweetheart brought us some water!"

Gu Jin turned around when he heard the voice and saw Gu Nuanyi standing at the edge of the field waving at him.

I walked over quickly and said, "My dear, why are you here? The weather is getting warmer. My dear, don't go out. Be careful of getting sunburned."

Gu Nuanyi handed a bowl of water to Gu Jin: "Dad, drink some water! It's not too sunny now, so I can exercise a little bit."
