Chapter 238 Gui Hong Suffers Injustice (2)

As the three turned around, Young Master Du had already strode up and entered the courtyard with practiced ease. As soon as Gui Hong entered, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Get out! What are you doing here! You're all bullying me, a weak woman, bullying me because I'm all alone here! Bullying me because my parents and sisters aren't here! I! I'll fight you to the death!"

He was about to grab a handy tool to hit someone.

Young Master Du quickly grabbed Gui Hong's hand and said:

"Hey? Don't be so impulsive! I just helped you out of a tight spot! You can't treat your savior like this!"

"Who do you think you are, my savior! You're just here to laugh at me!"

Gui Hong cried out.

Young Master Du said in a very serious tone:

"No, no! Guihong! It's admirable that you, a woman, run a shop all by yourself in this county town, okay?"

If other women say bad things about you, it's because they're jealous! You've been doing the things they've wanted to do but didn't dare to for so long, and doing them so well!

"What do those women in the inner quarters, who only know how to scheme and plot, know! They only care about petty favors and benefits in front of them! They only see immediate gains and losses; they have no idea about our Manager Wang's long-term plans!"

Gui Hong gradually calmed down, wiped away her tears, and then said:

"What are you doing here again? I don't have any business to do with you! You just like watching the show! You've seen enough of the show, why don't you go home!"

Besides, why did you chase me here so late?"

Young Master Du resumed his nonchalant tone:

"Hehe! Gui Hong! That's not fair! That young master Zhou is ignorant, do you think I'd be like him? We've known each other for a while. How could I abandon you?"

"It's so late, and I'm worried about the three of you weak women going home alone! What if some tyrant comes along and tries to assault you? I'd have to be your protector!"

"You're getting more and more absurd! Where did all these little tyrants come from! Alright, Young Master Du! Thank you so much for today! It's getting late, and we haven't eaten yet! Please go back!"

"Wait a minute! We're hungry too! Du Teng! What are you standing there for? What was that bird of yours again? Hurry up and cook!"

Du Teng agreed and pulled Yanzi towards the stove. Xique brewed tea and fetched water for Guihong to wash her face before standing aside to wait for Guihong's orders.

Gui Hong stopped speaking and fell into deep thought.

Young Master Du ignored Gui Hong and silently drank his tea, lost in thought.

Gui Hong wasn't the type to take a beating without fighting back; the next day, she went to the comfortable sofa shop and found the shopkeeper.

"Manager Lin! I have something I need you to tell my third sister. I don't want the county magistrate's brother-in-law to keep bullying us sisters!"

If we didn't have the ability, we would have just swallowed this loss in silence, but my third sister had clearly warned them! Yet this person, after having a few drinks, started to act recklessly, using our sisters' reputation as a pretext for drunken antics!

I'll make him regret it!

Guizhi was in a real bind. Building the nursery was easy, and making the beds was easy too! But finding a caregiver was difficult!

In modern society, there are countless people who have studied early childhood education or preschool teaching! But in Huanghua Village today, literate women are a rare sight, let alone those who have received education and training!

Wanrou saw that Guizhi was anxious and upset because she couldn't find a nursery nanny. She couldn't help but say:

"Guizhi! How about I take charge of training the daycare workers? Although I don't know much about it, I feel that treating all the children as your own is always the right thing to do!"

Guizhi explained:

"Wanrou! I don't mean to look down on anyone. I just feel that infants and young children are physically weak, so I hope to find a female doctor with experience in caring for infants and young children!"

Of course, it would be great if our daycare had a doctor like her, but we won't force it if we don't. Wanrou is right! Putting ourselves in her shoes, we welcome gentle and kind women like Wanrou!

Wanrou, we need to be careful and serious when hiring! After all, children can't speak, so we really need people with patience!

The baby is too young; the nanny has to take care of everything, from eating and drinking to using the toilet. Wanrou! Thank you so much! You support me no matter what I do!

"Then you'll be in charge of hiring a daycare worker! But you'll also have to look after several children; there's so much to do, I'm worried you'll tire yourself out!"

Wanrou smiled but remained silent. Jushuang, however, said:

"Miss Dong! Sister Wanrou's personality is quite suitable for taking care of children! Unlike me, I'm always rushing around!"

"Sister Wanrou is just being capable and taking on more work! Don't worry, Miss Dong! We won't stand idly by!"

When Guihong's news arrived, Guizhi decided to go to the county town herself, as it concerned her second sister's marriage. Guizhi took it very seriously!

After Lin Qian's family learned about Gui Hong's situation, they also came to find Gui Zhi and said to her:

"Master! Logically speaking, the Second Miss's matter is your family affair, your private matter! But as her aunt, and someone who's been through this before, I'm afraid you haven't thought things through. Let me offer you some advice!"

Master! It's quite taboo for a wealthy family to have their second young lady, an unmarried woman, running the Lirenfang (beauty brothel) in the county town. At the very least, she should have an elder or a respected senior matron by her side.

The Zhou family has already begun to look down on her, believing that the Second Miss's actions are disgraceful. Therefore, if the Second Miss marries into the Zhou family, she will be criticized!

The Second Miss's future in the Zhou family is predictable! Sigh! Master! How about taking my maidservant with you?

They came from the capital; surely they shouldn't be accused of being impolite!

Guizhi looked at Lin Qian's pregnant wife and said with a smile:

"Aunt Lin! Thank you! But there's no rush with my second sister for now! Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so have your nanny take good care of you! My second sister's matter can't be resolved in a day or two!"

Everyone has to go through experiences to grow up, and my sisters and I are no exception. As for who will accompany my second sister, I'll think about it some more!

The nannies around Aunt Lin are all top-notch! There's no need to waste talent on these low-class people from the county town!

"Aunt Lin will need them from the back later! We can't take them up!"

Lin Qian's family had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"The boss is giving me face! I've thought of that too. One reason is that I can't be without someone by my side for the time being, and the other is that they all came from the capital!"

Locals definitely have all sorts of different customs and rules they don't know. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake! Boss, isn't that true?

Guizhi said to Lin Qian's family:

"Aunt Lin! There's really no rush! My second sister has already taken care of it! I'm just short-handed right now, but it's not something we women can easily handle!"

"Aunt Lin! You should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. When Uncle Lin Qian comes back, give birth to a big, healthy boy so you can give him a big surprise! Let him make it up to you! Hahaha!"
