stingy landlady

Chapter 139 Trust (2)

After listening to this, Guizhi pushed the stack of indentures back to Lin Qian.

"Uncle Lin Qian! Now that I've entrusted this to you, you can handle it entirely! I'm not good at these things, hmm! I'm better at sitting at home and collecting money directly!"

I'm happy no matter how much! Hehehe!

Lin Qian pressed his hand against the indentures, looked at Guizhi, and asked:

"Boss! This is all thanks to your confidence! How can you trust me so much?"

"Uncle Lin Qian! I'm just a country girl, and I'm already very happy that you haven't deceived or cheated me! I think one shouldn't be too greedy! Uncle Lin Qian is a very capable man, and I'm already very lucky to have you serve under me!"

Uncle Lin Qian made money for free and still wants to share it with me. Actually, if Uncle Lin Qian never comes back, there's nothing I can do, right?

Uncle Lin Qian! You need to find me an aunt as soon as possible! So I can have more younger brothers and sisters! Then there will be more and more things to worry about at home!

Lin Qian chuckled, showing the written contract to Guizhi as he said:

"Okay! Master! If you find someone who doesn't mind me, bring them back!"

Speaking of finding wives! The two men who went to the inner city a few days ago brought back six girls! They're all quite capable! They've all gone to the fields to harvest rice!

Guizhi thought the contract was fine and signed her name without hesitation. Then she asked:

"Did Wanrou and Jushuang go to harvest rice too?"

“Those two didn’t go! They saw those women go and wanted to go too! But your Uncle Xu Hong wouldn’t let them! He couldn’t bear to see Wanrou do manual labor!”

"Oh? Uncle Xu Hong and Wanrou really hit it off?"

Guizhi is starting to gossip again!

Of course, men also enjoy gossip, especially about the people around them.

"Master, I heard that after you left last time, only the two women were left in the house. It's very inconvenient for them to go out with men around all the time!"

She doesn't know anyone! Except for Xu Hong! The boss! I heard Xu Hong held Wanrou? And the boss allowed it?

Guizhi explained:

"The situation was unusual! Wanrou had a fever and was unconscious, and neither Jushuang nor I could carry her! So we had to let Uncle Xu Hong carry her!"

Lin Qian laughed:

"Yes, yes, that's right! One wants to repay a debt of gratitude, and the other wants to take responsibility to the end! They're a perfect match! At Xu Hong's age, if he hadn't joined the army, his children should be quite grown up by now! But he's still a bachelor! Sigh!"

"Uncle Lin Qian! What are we waiting for? Let's get the marriage arranged quickly so the couple can move into one room sooner, saving us a room! I just don't know if Ju Shuang has taken a liking to anyone from our area!"

"Yes! That cunning woman, Ju Shuang, has long had her eye on Lin Shan, who's standing next to Xu Hong!"

"Are they the guards that Uncle Xu Hong usually brings with him?"

“Yes! Ju Shuang was also very generous, saying that since her sister was going to marry Xu Hong, it was normal for her, as a former maid, to marry Xu Hong’s bodyguard!”

The two sisters can be together every day again and won't be separated!

Guizhi was also happy:

"Ju Shuang is so thoughtful! Uncle Lin Qian! What she said makes perfect sense! Did they mention when the wedding will be held? Are there any formalities to go through?"

Lin Qian shrugged helplessly.

"Master! They're probably doing needlework in that room! Go and ask them what they think!"

"Okay! I'll go check on them!"

When Guizhi arrived at Wanrou's room, Wanrou and Jushuang were embroidering their wedding dresses!

"Wanrou! Jushuang! I'm back!"

"Oh! Miss is back!" Wanrou and Jushuang both got up and bowed deeply. Wanrou's eyes were red as she said:

"Miss! You haven't been back for so long!"

Ju Shuang also put her arm around Gui Zhi's arm and said:

"When Miss left, she said she would be back in a few days, but she's only come back once every few months! We sisters have been waiting and hoping for her every single day!"

Guizhi smiled mischievously and said:

"Absolutely! You're probably waiting and hoping for your lover every day! Are you hoping I'll come and help you get married soon!"

Ju Shuang stamped her foot, climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed), and reached out to pull Gui Zhi:

"Miss! You're just making fun of me! Come sit on the kang and see if our new clothes look good on you!"

Wanrou said shyly:

"Miss! We started preparing for the marriage in secret without your consent! Please don't blame Xu Lang!"

Guizhi listened to the nauseatingly sweet talk:

"Wanrou! Jushuang! I've told you so many times! Just call me Guizhi! You haven't sold yourselves to me! Let's just call each other by our names!"

"Wanrou! You're already calling him 'Xu Lang,' when are you planning to get married? I, Uncle Xu Hong, am not young anymore! I'm eager to have a son!"

Ju Shuang's clear voice rang out:

"Miss Guizhi! My sister and I have discussed it and asked for their opinions. We will get married whenever you return!"

"Miss Guizhi must return first; there's absolutely no reason to get married without the master's consent!"

Wanrou also said:

"Guizhi! You are my savior! I must get your permission to marry Xu Lang!"

Guizhi hurriedly smiled and said:

"Alright, alright! I'll definitely be there! Do you have any particular customs or requirements regarding this marriage?"

Wanrou said softly:

"It's a rare privilege to be here! Neither Ju Shuang nor I have any relatives! We don't care about arranged marriages or matchmakers! The marriage arranged by our parents has also vanished into thin air."

We had hoped to compromise and secure a place in the hunter's household. But fate is unpredictable, and misfortune can strike at any moment! My sister and I were still treated as jinxes and driven out!

"It's rare that Xu Lang hasn't abandoned us; what more could we ask for? If we can earn Xu Lang's sincere affection in the future, we dare not ask for more!"

Gui Zhi gently stroked Wanrou and said:

"You and Uncle Xu Hong are in love! You must never feel inferior or give up on yourself! What do you mean Uncle Xu Hong doesn't mind you? Let me ask you, do you mind that Uncle Xu Hong is too old? Do you mind that Uncle Xu Hong is lame?"

Wanrou shook her head and said:

"How could I possibly complain! I don't even know how to repay Xu Lang's kindness! How could I dare to complain? I'm just afraid Xu Lang will think I'm unlucky. From now on! From now on..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Hong limped in quickly and interjected:

"Miss is back! Wanrou! Miss is right! We love each other, we must not suffer for each other! I will treat you well from now on, and you should live a good life with me!"

Wanrou couldn't continue speaking, and tears streamed down her face like pearls!

Guizhi advised:

"This should be a joyous occasion! Why are you so worried? Is it because I'm here that you're unhappy?"

Wanrou quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head, saying:

"No! No! I'm overjoyed that Miss is back!"

Gui Zhi mischievously said:

"I know! She's desperate to get married! She's annoyed that I came back late, so she's throwing golden beans at me! Hahaha!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter! Wanrou blushed even more, grabbing her clothes from the kang (heated brick bed) to cover her face!

Ju Shuang hurriedly used her hands to stop him.

"Sister, sister! There's a needle! Shall I use my sleeve to cover your face?"
