Chapter 18 Bean sprouts to be fattened

Gu Changsheng swore that she had never felt that Xiao Cui's existence was so important, she was simply like a savior!

  Gu Changsheng, who had always been lazy and sentimental, rushed forward, opened the door, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, Xiao Cui, why are you so flustered?"

  Save her quickly, she doesn't want to stay where Zhou Mu is for a moment! Gu Changsheng's heart was shouting silently.

  "Madam, didn't you just help the little girl who sold herself to bury her father to bury her father? She is here now." Xiao Cui calmed down with a food box.

  "She hasn't left yet?" Gu Changsheng frowned. Didn't he just send her away?

  "Madam knows?" Xiao Cui was stunned.

  "Yes, the waiter came just now, and I asked him to send him away." Gu Changsheng adjusted the hem of her skirt. The long skirts of the ancients were too annoying, and it was not convenient to run away. She must improve it.

  "But she is still kneeling at the door of the inn now."

  "What?" Gu Changsheng was shocked and turned around and walked out the door.

  "I just came back from buying snacks, and she was kneeling there. I saw it with my own eyes." Xiao Cui hurriedly put down the lunch box and followed to explain. Gu

  Changsheng ignored her because she had just reached the stairs and glanced outside, and saw the little figure kneeling at the main entrance of the inn.

  She was quite good at choosing a place, kneeling so conspicuously that it was hard to ignore her, and it attracted passers-by to look back frequently.

  The innkeeper was also anxiously pacing around the door, and it was obvious that he had chased her away but failed.

  Seeing Gu Changsheng and the others coming downstairs, the innkeeper came up to them as if he had seen a savior, and anxiously begged, "Sir, you are finally here. You see, it's not a big deal for her to be like this. If you don't know, you would think that I have done something shameful in this inn."

  Gu Changsheng sighed and glanced at Xiao Cui.

  Xiao Cui stepped forward and stuffed two taels of silver into the inn, with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm sorry to trouble you, shopkeeper. Take this small amount of money to buy tea."

  The shopkeeper secretly pinched the silver, and immediately changed his face. He stepped forward and said flatteringly, "How can I trouble you, my dear guest? I will have someone beat this blind girl away, so that you don't have to be upset." This

  is the way of the world. As the saying goes, birds die for food, people are injured for money, and even the bottom line of morality can be wiped out.

  Gu Changsheng looked at the shopkeeper meaningfully, and said coldly, "No need!" Then he walked out of the inn.

  The kneeling man cried and his shoulders shrugged. There was also a large stain of water on the ground, which looked particularly pitiful.

  How many tears does this person have to shed so unrestrainedly?

  In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhou Mu and the others followed him. Gu Changsheng snorted, really haunting. It

  was not a big deal that she snorted, but the little figure on the ground trembled, lowered her head even more, and tears fell on the ground one by one.

  Gu Changsheng was not a soft-hearted person. Sometimes she could even be as hard-hearted as iron, but at this moment, she felt a trace of pity. She was not worried about the scarcity of wealth but the inequality. Some people were born rich and prosperous, and their lives were more precious than gold, while others were born to be worthless than animals

  . She helped her bury her father, but threw her, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, on the street. According to the current world, she had no skills and no one to rely on, so her fate could be imagined.

  The initial reluctance led to the current reluctance.

  "Han Qiu, didn't I tell you that if I was kind again, you must stop me?" Gu Changsheng blamed Han Qiu who had just arrived behind him with dissatisfaction.

  Han Qiu naturally knew that his wife didn't really want to blame her, but still lowered his head, "Han Qiu is guilty."

  Gu Changsheng sighed. She was the one who caused the trouble, and she just wanted to complain.

  "What's your name? Where is your home?"

  The person on the ground raised his head, looking at Gu Changsheng with a pair of big watery eyes, and his voice was still pleasant, "My name is Dong Lei, and my home is in Liuzhou City."

  "Dong Lei?" Gu Changsheng leaned over in confusion and took a closer look. This is a girl for sure.

  "Madam, what's your name?" The little girl asked with big eyes, not afraid of being looked at by her.

  Xiao Cui was about to step forward and scold her, but was waved away by Gu Changsheng. He squatted on the ground and looked at her directly, and replied with a curled mouth, "Gu Changsheng." "

  Well, your name is better than mine." Dong Lei nodded and responded seriously.

  The winter thunder rolled, and Gu Changsheng felt that this girl was definitely not praising her name. Compared with Dong Lei, what name is not good?

  "Why did your family give you such a, uh, special name?" How can a little girl be called Lei? Isn't this shocking!

  "Daddy said that when I was born, there was a thunderstorm in winter, so he gave me this name. It means Leo in thunderstorm." When Dong Lei mentioned his daddy, tears burst out again. Gu

  Changsheng took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped her. Suddenly, the snow-white handkerchief was black. He wiped it again, and it was black again. Gu Changsheng was stunned. How dirty was the face of this skinny child? He kept wiping and wiped more carefully.

  Dong Lei did not dodge, crying seriously, and choking and hiccuping as he spoke, "My wife, you are so... hiccup... good, just like my... hiccup... mother, very gentle... woooo..."

  Gu Changsheng looked at the blackened handkerchief in his hand, and then looked at the skin that had obviously become as white as fine porcelain. Although it was not wiped very clean and there were still a few stains, it seemed that Dong Lei was indeed born with a good appearance. There were a pair of big eyes with tears on the palm-sized face, a cherry mouth under the thin and straight nose, red lips without makeup, black eyebrows without painting, and snow-white skin. He had a standard beauty, much better than Xiao Cui.

  Such a Dong Lei, if he was well taken care of, would surely be a stunning beauty in three or four years.

  "Dong Lei, I helped you bury your father out of kindness, but I didn't plan to hire anyone to serve you. But with your appearance, you won't have a good ending if you live on the streets. How about I hire someone to take you back to Liuzhou City?" Considering that they were from the same hometown, she was kind enough.

  "My wife, if you help me bury my father, I will be your servant." Dong Lei finished speaking, tears streaming down his face again.

  It was not a big deal just now when it was pitch black, but now it looked like a picture of a beauty crying, which made Gu Changsheng unable to bear it. She loved beauty all her life. Look, Xiao Cui and Han Qiu are both good-looking, and they are both attractive. If Dong Lei is added, her family will have three beauties.

  The magic weapon of a woman's victory, crying, making a fuss, and hanging herself, is indeed not something that Gu Changsheng can bear. Just crying, she has a tendency to lose.

  "Well, don't cry first. There are only a few people in my family. Tell me what you can do first, and I will consider whether to take you in." Well, she should be a good person to the end. Who made her like to meddle in other people's business?

  "I can cook. My father used to be a chef. I like to learn cooking from him the most." Dong Lei saw hope, his big eyes sparkled, and his tears disappeared in an instant.

  "Cooking, that's not bad." Gu Changsheng propped up his chin and thought about it. Xiao Cui's cooking skills were really not commendable. It was barely edible, but the taste was definitely not good. Han Qiu was even more so. She used to be a daughter of an official. If you say she was good at cutting people with a knife, she might be better, but cutting vegetables? Forget it.

  "Xiao Cui, can our family's money afford another girl?" Gu Changsheng finished his calculations and turned to ask Xiao Cui, the housekeeper.

  Xiao Cui had been with her for a long time, so she naturally knew what she meant and nodded with a smile.

  "Okay then." Gu Changsheng patted his sleeves and stood up, pulling Dong Lei by the way, with a smile on his face, "From today on, you are my little girl, Xiao Leizi. The three beauties have been collected, and it seems that Tang Bohu's four beauties are not far away."

  "Madam, who is Tang Bohu?" Dong Lei asked, stabilizing his body that was a little shaky from kneeling for too long.

  Everyone was also confused, even Zhou Mu squinted at her with a pair of cold eyes.

  "Tang Bohu is a painter, who is best at painting beauties." Gu Changsheng explained that in her previous life, her grandfather collected a painting of beauties by Tang Bohu. Thinking of her grandfather who was far away in another time and space, Gu Changsheng's heart ached violently. The old man who loved her to the extreme, I don't know how sad he would be without her.

  Zhou Mu saw her become sad in an instant. The emotions revealed in her eyes included nostalgia, attachment, admiration, worry, reluctance, and more intense sadness...

  What kind of person could make her, who has always been unruly and arrogant, have such strong emotions?

  He turned his head and looked at Gu Ze who was following him. Is he his biological father?

  Thinking of this, he felt bored and turned around to return to the inn.

  Gu Changsheng came back to his senses and saw his back. Who made this old man unhappy again? He curled his lips and said, "Humph, just hypocritical!"

  "Hurry up, Xiao Cui, quickly ask the shopkeeper to prepare a table for us to welcome Xiao Leizi to join the group." Gu Changsheng waved his hand and said it with great pride.

  Everyone: "..."

  Why do they feel that the word "joining the group" is a bit bandit-like?

  "Ahem, that, what, order a few more good dishes. Look at how thin Xiao Leizi is. He can blow away with a breath." Gu Changsheng quickly changed the subject to avoid Xiao Cui's nagging.

  "Madam, how can you say you are joining the gang? Only bandits would say that!" Dong Lei, who had just joined the gang, was not happy. He was obviously not as easy to fool as Xiao Cui.

  "It doesn't matter, it's just a word, why would you care so much?" Gu Changsheng waved his hand perfunctorily and walked towards the inn.

  Everyone followed him, and Dong Lei followed closely behind Gu Changsheng, not giving up. "How can that be? You should say what you want according to your status. My mother said that this is called etiquette."

  "Your servant." Xiao Cui pulled Dong Lei's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

  "Oh, your servant was wrong. I didn't think about it for a moment. I won't do it again in the future." Dong Lei gave Xiao Cui a sweet smile and continued to follow Gu Changsheng. "Madam, don't talk like this in the future. My mother said that people will laugh at you."

  Gu Changsheng nodded to show that he understood.

  The dinner was prepared quickly. Dong Lei took a bath and ate something to fill her stomach. Then she went to the kitchen of the inn. She said that since the lady liked her because she could cook, she would also cook some good dishes to repay her.
