Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Chapter 377 It’s a pity that she was blind before

Chunmei cried and said, "You did something wrong before and caused Dad to be laughed at by the villagers. Now you come back to make Dad laughed at again?"

"If you really have nowhere to live, go live in the thatched cottage at the east end of the village."

"If you really want to do this for Dad and us, then stop making trouble."

After listening to Chunmei's words, Liu felt very upset and started crying too.

It was true that she had done something wrong before, and now no one forgives her. She deserves it and this is what she should bear.

Liu wiped her tears and nodded: "I won't make trouble anymore. I will live in the east end of the village now."

"Wait a minute, these are the food and dishes for you, cook for yourself in the future and don't bother us."

Liu nodded, carrying half a bag of grain and a bed and left the Gu family's main room.

Chunmei stood at the door and watched Liu's receding back. She felt extremely sad, but said nothing. She just stood at the door and cried for a long time.

When Liu arrived at the thatched hut, there was nothing in the house that could be used. She could only find some hay and spread it on the ground, and then put her bedding on the thick hay so that she could barely sleep.

There was a thatched shed next to the house, with an earthen stove underneath, which showed that someone had lived there before.

The thatched hut has a courtyard wall, but there is no gate. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and all the houses in the yard have collapsed. I don’t know who built a thatched hut temporarily.

Liu went next door to borrow a broom, shovel and other tools and began to clean the yard seriously.

Chunmei was right. She had brought shame to the Gu family and could not bother Gu Jinzhong anymore, otherwise she would only bring shame to him and his three children.

After cleaning the thatched hut, Liu went to clean the earthen stove and ignored the weeds in the yard for the time being.

The grass is as tall as a person and it is difficult to clear it away in a short time.

The first thing she had to do now was to install a fence or wooden gate in the yard before dark.

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare live in a house without a gate, in case someone sneaks in at night...

After Liu returned the broom and shovel, she borrowed an axe and went to the mountain to pick up branches.

After picking up enough branches, she wanted to tie it up with a rope, but she couldn't tie it tightly and it fell apart at the slightest touch.

In desperation, Liu could only carry a pile of firewood to Carpenter Liu's house and ask him to help hammer in a fence with nails so that it would be stronger.

As a result, Carpenter Liu was not at home, so Liu could only drag the firewood to find Gu Jinzhong.

He is good at carpentry and his craftsmanship is excellent, otherwise the hairpins he made before would not have been sold.

Liu hesitated at the door for a long time holding the firewood, and never dared to knock.

We had agreed when we left not to bother each other again, but she came again just half a day after we left. I was really afraid that Gu Jinzhong would just tell her to get lost.

"Liu, what are you doing with this pile of firewood?"

"The firewood you cut for Dalang's family?"

"Oh, Dalang is so cruel. He has been kneeling for three days and three nights. No matter how angry he is, he should have calmed down."

"Liu, didn't you go to live in the thatched cottage at the east end of the village? Why are you back?"

"Why don't you kneel for two more days? Dalang is a soft-hearted person."

The aunts kept joking, their words full of teasing and sarcasm.

The door of the main room suddenly opened, Chunhua poked her head out and glared at Liu with anger on her face.

We agreed on this this morning, why did you change your mind?

Did she deliberately want to make the villagers laugh at her?

Liu looked at Chunmei's angry face and quickly explained, "Chunmei, I'm not going back on my word. I just want your father to help build a fence."

"The yard at the east end of the village has no gate, so it's not safe for my mother to live there alone."

Chunmei hesitated for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask Dad."

"Ai."

The ladies watching the fun nearby continued to point and say: "See, it's not good to have no man in the house."

"Even if Dalang is lame, Liu can't do without him."

"Well, after all, I have to ask for help from others."

"She deserves it. Dalang treated her so well before. She brought this upon herself."

Liu turned a deaf ear to what the other ladies said and instead looked inside through the crack in the door.

She was really afraid that Gu Jinzhong would just tell her to get out!

After a while, Chunmei opened the door: "Dad asked you to come in."

"Yes." Liu walked into the yard with a large bundle of firewood in her arms, looking happy.

Gu Jinzhong was sitting in the house, apparently preparing to go to sleep. Liu said with an awkward look on her face, "That yard has no gate."

She didn't go straight into the house, but stood at the door and talked to him.

Gu Jinzhong frowned as he looked at the firewood she had placed at the door of the house: "These can't be used to make a wooden door."

Liu hurriedly explained: "Instead of making a wooden door, just make a fence."

"It's OK as long as I can hear the noise when someone comes. I can shout and the whole village can hear it. I don't have to worry about someone breaking in."

Gu Jinzhong spoke again: "The fence is not strong. There are no nails at home."

"Bring me those boards in the corner, and I'll nail a door for you."

Liu saw many wooden boards of varying lengths piled up in the corner. They should be the waste materials left over from making tables, chairs and benches for the academy.

She knelt at the door of the Gu family for three days and listened to the villagers' gossip for three days.

Naturally, I know that Gu Jinzhong is now making tables and chairs for the academy. Although he doesn't make much money, it can be considered as labor and he will get dividends in the future.

As for what the dividends they were talking about, Liu didn't understand, but seeing everyone's excitement about the dividends, Liu knew it must be a good thing.

The villagers said that she must have seen that Gu Jinzhong could make money now, so she refused to leave.

She doesn't care what the villagers say, she just won't leave, this is her home.

Liu carried the wooden boards of varying lengths into the room, and Gu Jinzhong worked with them and soon made a wooden door using the boards and strips.

Although it looks ugly because it is pieced together, it is very sturdy.

Then there was another round of clanging and banging sounds, and Gu Jinzhong made another door frame.

"Take Da Huang away first, and find someone to install the door tomorrow. It's too late today, and everyone is asleep."

"Row."

Liu tried to carry the door to leave, but after several attempts she failed because she was too thin.

I haven't had a full meal since I left the Gu family. There are times when I go without eating for two or three days, so I am old and thin.

She now has difficulty carrying a bucket of water, let alone lifting a large wooden door.

"Leave it there. I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow."

Liu's nose felt sore and tears welled up instantly. She was so foolish before. For the sake of her heartless family, she hurt the only man who loved her.

Just like now, her family members would call her a waste, a money-loser, who can't even lift a door. They would beat her, scold her and tell her to get out.

But Gu Jinzhong would let her leave it there and find someone to help her carry it over tomorrow.

You can tell at a glance who is good to her.

It's a pity that she was blind and couldn't tell good from bad before, which is why she ended up in this state.

Gu Jinzhong watched her cry, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart, but he said nothing.
