Chapter 125 Pack your things and get out
Xiao Chunhua was a little unhappy. She didn't want to stay in Caixiu Pavilion, didn't want to be alone there, and didn't want to stay there when her sister-in-law came.
She'd wanted to come back for a long time, and now that she'd finally returned, of course she didn't want to go back.
"Oh, so you've already learned it. Now tell me, what can you embroider?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaochunhua immediately perked up, sat up, and started counting on her fingers.
"It can fly birds, it can fly butterflies, it can fly puppies, and it can fly ponies..."
"Do you know anything else?"
After listing all the things she knew, Xiaochunhua shook her head upon hearing this: "I haven't learned any of those, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaochunhua fell silent.
There's still so much she hasn't learned. She hasn't yet mastered the things Lin Cai wanted. The little girl lowered her head and remained silent.
Lin Cai gently rubbed the little girl's chest and then made her lie down: "Don't think that you can stop learning just because you've learned something. Learning is endless, and it's the same no matter what you want to learn."
"You think you've learned everything, but how do you know if what you've learned is everything?"
"Chunhua, what you can learn at Caixiu Pavilion is limited. When you get to another place, you'll realize that what you learned there is nothing at all..."
"I'm sending you to learn now just to lay a solid foundation. When the opportunity arises, I'll find you an even better teacher, understand?"
Xiao Chunhua hummed softly in bed. After listening to Lin Cai's words, she made a vow in her heart that she would definitely become the best embroiderer.
She wanted to learn all the skills so that she could embroider whatever Lin Cai wanted.
Xiao Chunhua was sent back home after only two days, along with Hua Duo.
Huani has already learned quite a bit; she can do mending and patching, but she doesn't have the skills to be an embroiderer.
Lin Cai knew she didn't want to go, so she didn't force her. She just told her to do things within her capabilities and not to overwork herself, otherwise she would collapse and it would still be her own health to suffer.
Huani nodded to indicate that she understood, and then followed Gu Dachui down to the ground.
……
Ever since she was frightened last time, Zhao Laidi has stopped clearing land and has stayed at home, refusing to even leave the house.
Seeing that she was staying at home doing nothing, Li Guixiang kicked open the door to the second room and started cursing loudly.
"Zhao Laidi, what exactly do you mean? All you do all day is eat and sleep. You don't even want to do any work. Do you really think we, the eldest son's family, are cattle or horses?"
"You have to eat with us, but when it comes to work, none of you want to do anything. What, does Zhao Laidi think she's so great just because she gave birth to two sons? Does she think she's not going to work?"
Zhao Laidi knew that Li Guixiang was deliberately trying to cause trouble, but the old hag's words were really too nasty. Not only were they nasty, but she also dragged her son into it, which was simply unbearable.
"So what if I had two sons? What's it to you? If you're so capable, why don't you have two sons too? You say I'm hiding in my room and won't come out, but why don't you talk about your good daughter?"
As Zhao Laidi spoke, she came into the courtyard and pointed to the window of Gu Jiao'er's room.
"Sister-in-law, you scolded me so harshly, but why don't you talk about the one in that room?"
"It's been several months now, and she hasn't come out to see anyone. We even have to bring her food in when she's eating. Everyone who knows her knows she's perfectly fine. If you didn't know, you'd think our young lady was pregnant with someone else's child."
Gu Jiao'er had indeed not left the house for several months, and every time she went out, she avoided the Gu family.
Therefore, no one in the Gu family, including Li Guixiang, had ever seen Gu Jiao'er go out. However, Li Guixiang knew that Gu Jiao'er had no problems at all, and there was no truth to what Zhao Laidi had said.
But Zhao Laidi had already spoken, and she said it so loudly that Li Guixiang rushed out after hearing it.
"Zhao Laidi!! Do you know what you're saying?" She lunged at Zhao Laidi to hit her, but Zhao Laidi quickly dodged to the side when she saw Li Guixiang was about to hit her.
While dodging, he didn't forget to retort: "My mouth is on my own body, of course I know what I'm saying, am I wrong?"
She hadn't left the house for months and hadn't seen anyone. If it weren't for her pregnancy, she really couldn't think of any reason why a young woman could stay in her room for months.
“Zhao Laidi, no matter what, Jiaojiao is still your niece. How can you, as her aunt, throw this mud at her?”
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? When did I smear her? I just saw that girl hadn't left the house for months and was just making wild guesses..."
Zhao Laidi suddenly stopped speaking, then stared wide-eyed at Li Guixiang: "Big sister-in-law, could it be that I'm right? Oh dear, you..."
She spoke anxiously, but inside she was already overjoyed. When Li Guixiang saw Zhao Laidi's gloating expression, her face twisted in disgust.
Her daughter is perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with her, and her reluctance to go out is for other reasons, not what Zhao Laidi said at all.
Gu Jiao'er heard everything that was happening outside, including the conversations, but she didn't care at all.
Ever since she returned that day, she has been constantly thinking about what that person said and that scarred face.
He said: I've taken a liking to you, why don't you come with me!
He said: I can grant you any request, except this one.
He also said: "She's just a woman, what's so difficult about that?"
She didn't tell him that the woman was Lin Cai. If she had told him that the woman was Lin Cai, would he have agreed to her request so readily?
Gu Jiao'er didn't know, and because of this lack of knowledge, she was very doubtful and still hadn't figured out how to answer.
The noise outside continued, and it was extremely unpleasant to hear. Gu Jiao'er didn't want to hear those unpleasant words anymore, so she plugged her ears.
Inside the courtyard, two women stood on either side, both panting heavily; it seemed they had almost come to blows.
Li Guixiang, holding a broom, pointed at Zhao Laidi not far away: "Zhao Laidi!! Don't you want to stay in this house anymore?"
"If you don't want to, then pack your bags and get out of here right now. I absolutely won't let you stay."
Li Guixiang really couldn't do anything about this woman.
