What are you talking about? Arent the others quite decent? Look at how capable Zishangs husband, Hu Chun, is. The patriarch glared at him unhappily.

Indeed, the external environment is also very important in influencing their att.i.tude.

If nothing had happened to the Gu Family, their lives would have been glorious.

We were just unfortunate that those sons-in-law were less than decent. Gu Chengsi added.

What do you mean by just less than decent? To put it bluntly, they just despise the poor and love the rich. Go on with your day. I have to go to the fields and water the white potatoes. The patriarch dismissed everyone and went to the fields.

However, he wasnt in the mood to work when he reached the fields. He sat near the fields and looked at the crops from afar.

Uncle, why are you sitting here? Are you okay? Gu Chengxi saw him sitting in the distance and immediately ran over to ask.

Its fine. Im just old and tired. I cant compare to your youngsters energy. Why didnt you go to town today? The patriarch asked.

Didnt Manager Sun mention that the restaurant would be opened after the wheat harvest? So we took the opportunity to plant more chilies and c.u.min; I came back to see if it was time to water them.

Youre the only male left at home. Remember to let us know if you cant handle the workload.

I know, uncle. But Ive hired people to take care of it, and Im just here to take a look.

By the way, do you still have c.u.min seeds at home? I think theyre easy to take care of.

I think so, but Im unsure how much we have. Ill ask my mom when I get back.

Its fine. Ill ask her myself later.

Alright then. If theres no problem, I have to go down to the fields now.

Go ahead.

After he left, the patriarch also got up and went to work.

At night, Gu Chengrui did not come back. Zhou Ying finished her meal quickly and brought a piece of subpar bread to the front yard to feed the fish.

At the same time, she spread out her divine sense to observe the situation of the newcomers in the residence.

Miao Dazhis family was well-behaved. They ate, worked, and slept without any distractions.

The Niu family expressed their views on their new master. Although they felt that the familys foundation was slightly thin, they were still satisfied that they could return to their original position.

Chunxiang and Dongxiang had worked in the kitchen before, so they quickly adapted to their current tasks. Although they didnt talk much, they got along very well with everyone.

Qiuxiang, the most talkative and lively, was very curious about Gu Chengrui. She constantly asked Kuihua about him.

However, Kuihua didnt usually talk much and was also tight-lipped. She only revealed shallow information and didnt say anything else.

It was Xiaxiang, who did not talk much, who caught Zhou Yings attention. This was because Xiaxiang would listen incredibly intently whenever Gu Chengrui was mentioned.

Zhou Ying remembered how Xiaxiang had introduced herself before. Xiaxiang mentioned that she was a second-cla.s.s servant girl who served the main wife of her previous family. She was also responsible for delivering news to the main wife.

Was it in Xiaxiangs nature to pay attention to this information, or did she have other motives? Zhou Ying knew she had to pay more attention to her.

After talking about Gu Chengrui, Qiuxiang changed the topic and asked, Sister Kuihua, is s.h.i.+zhu the Mistress personal maid? I often see the Mistress bring her along everywhere.

No, Mistress doesnt have a personal maid. It would be more appropriate to say that Sister s.h.i.+zhu is her guard.

She only followed the Mistress during the day and would head back to her room to sleep at night.

Dont we need to keep watch at night?

Theres no need. Ever since I came, Mistress hasnt ordered anyone to stay guard overnight. Kuihua then warned them, Oh right, dont go into their bedroom without Mistress permission.

Mistress doesnt like strangers entering their bedroom..
