1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 32 Borrowing Food
What?

Chapter 32

"busy?"

Gu Qingwu is a person who will not put herself in a difficult position. Back then in the world of cultivation, she had no choice but to do so. But why should she put herself in a difficult position now?

Tian Zhaodi didn't expect Gu Qingwu to say that, she was stunned for a moment.

"Um, I, I...?"

Tian Zhaodi looked at Gu Qingwu's expressionless face, and her inner dislike for Gu Qingwu was almost overflowing, but she thought of the purpose of her visit.

She suppressed her displeasure.

"Sister-in-law, I, I came here today to ask you for a favor."

Tian Zhaodi finally lowered her head and said.

Gu Qingwu looked at the other person with a half-smile.

Tian Zhaodi looked at Gu Qingwu without saying anything. She raised her eyes and saw Gu Qingwu's half-smile.

"Sister-in-law, my family is out of food recently. I want to come to your house to borrow some food."

Tian Zhaodi finally said something. No matter how much she hated Gu Qingwu, she still stated her purpose.

"I just arrived, and there isn't much food at home. I was thinking of asking Haonan to buy food tomorrow."

Gu Qingwu said without thinking, haha, she has been here for so many days, but she has never come to the door. She showed her dislike for me so obviously. If the other party didn’t need her for something today, this woman would probably jump up and beat her. She even came to borrow food.

"you……?"

Tian Zhaodi looked at Gu Qingwu in disbelief.

"You also know what the situation was like when I came here. I almost got into trouble right after I arrived. Haonan went on a mission after settling me down. He didn't leave much money or food behind. I have been saving food these days. Today I even went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables."

Gu Qingwu didn't care what Tian Zhaodi's expression was, she just spoke to herself.

"You also know what the situation is like outside recently. I, my family really doesn't have any extra food."

Gu Qingwu pretended to be embarrassed and said that her main concern was to make herself happy.

As for whether the leaders above would think she was disunited or something, Gu Qingwu was not worried at all. If they were disunited, then so be it. If she was helping those who were really in need, Gu Qingwu would not refuse. But this woman was obviously here to take advantage of her, so she didn't want to help.

As for how she could tell, Gu Qingwu said, isn't it obvious at a glance?

This woman looks very dark and thin on the surface, but her face doesn't have the sallow look of someone who has no food to eat. This woman is probably just simply thin.

"you……?"

Tian Zhaodi pointed at Gu Qingwu.

"Look, there are still a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain. I went to dig some to eat today."

Gu Qingwu spoke to herself. Tian Zhaodi stomped her feet in anger and turned away.

Looking at Tian Zhaodi's leaving back, Gu Qingwu shrugged.

As for what kind of rumors would spread in the family compound next, Gu Qingwu didn't care at all.

She just needs to live her life well.

She didn't do anything anyway, right?

If anyone saw that she was doing something wrong, she would help Tian Zhaodi.

……

"Sister-in-law Fang, what have you been doing?"

Dong Chunhua saw Tian Zhaodi and asked with a turn of her eyes.

Tian Zhaodi always takes advantage of others. I wonder whose house she went to this time. "Sister Huang, I went to Captain Qin's house."

When Tian Zhaodi saw Dong Chunhua, her eyes rolled and she looked at Dong Chunhua with pretended aggrieved look and said.

When Dong Chunhua heard what Tian Zhaodi said, she immediately became energetic.
"What did you do at Captain Qin's house?"

Dong Chunhua asked curiously what the woman had borrowed this time. This woman never returned the things she borrowed. Dong Chunhua was curious whether the other party had borrowed something. If she had borrowed something, she would also borrow some back.

Yes, Dong Chunhua is also someone who likes to take advantage, but one thing that makes her better than Tian Zhaodi is that she will return things she borrows, but how much she returns depends on her mood.

"I went to borrow some food, but Captain Qin's wife said she had no more food at home."

When Tian Zhaodi said this, she pretended to be aggrieved, and Dong Chunhua's eyes moved quickly.

Qin Haonan's young wife has a bad temper.

"Why are Captain Qin's family so stingy?"

Dong Chunhua curled her lips and said that although she looked down on Tian Zhaodi, she looked down on Qin Haonan even more.

Yes, Dong Chunhua looked down on Qin Haonan. Her husband said at home that Qin Haonan became the battalion commander purely by luck.

When Dong Chunhua heard her husband say this at home, she no longer had a good impression of Qin Haonan.

"Don't say that, Sister Huang. Captain Qin's wife's family really has no food."

Tian Zhaodi pretended to be panicked and stopped Dong Chunhua and said, "Hmph, if you don't lend her food, then you can forget about your reputation."

At this time, Tian Zhaodi ignored the fact that her man was working for Qin Haonan. She was also stupid. If she ruined Qin Haonan's reputation, her man might not be promoted. By doing this, she would offend Qin Haonan, and her man might also be affected.

"Oh, I won't say it."

Dong Chunhua decided to publicize these things and tell everyone in the family compound.

Humph, isn’t he just the youngest battalion commander? She wanted to see if the higher-ups would criticize Qin Haonan if they knew that her wife had done something disunited like this.

However, she also looked down on Tian Zhaodi. Tian Zhaodi, this idiot, didn't even think about the fact that her man was still working for someone else's man. She actually dared to secretly destroy the reputation of someone else's wife and also ruined his reputation at the same time. Didn't she worry that her man would be framed?
Forget it, this matter is good for me, so I'd better not remind the idiot.

"Sister Huang, I'm going home first."

Tian Zhaodi felt that she had achieved her goal, so she took the basket and went home.

Dong Chunhua spat when she saw Tian Zhaodi leaving with the basket, then went to chat with Zhao Fengmei, with whom she had a good relationship.

She also spread the news, and within a few hours, rumors spread again in the family compound that Gu Qingwu was not united with his family members.

Gu Qingwu was unaware of all this. After returning home, she started picking vegetables. She picked the shepherd's purse she had dug from the mountain, washed it, and began her busy work.

She took out a roe deer from the space, which she had just picked up. After cleaning the roe deer, she used it to make dumplings.

She simply forgot about Tian Zhaodi's request to borrow grain.

After returning home, Tian Zhaodi became angrier the more she thought about it, especially after she saw her two daughters who were like quails, her rage grew even bigger.

"You two are losing money, why don't you go fetch me some water? What are you doing standing here like an idiot?"

Seeing the two money-losing guys, Tian Zhaodi started to curse.

When Daya and Erya heard their mother scolding them, they were so scared that they quickly took buckets to fetch water.

When Tian Zhaodi saw the two money-losing guys going to fetch water, she still couldn't suppress her anger.

She started throwing things around at home.

Finally, she stopped beating her son amid his crying.

"My dearest child."

Tian Zhaodi picked up her son with heartache, kissed him twice, and called him her darling.
