I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 132 Gu Tao's Purpose

The carriage entering the village stopped in front of Gu Xing's house. Her eldest sister Gu Tao got off the carriage carrying two bags of snacks and walked into the yard.

"You are..." Fang Dashan, Gu Xing's husband, who was sitting in the yard weaving straw mats, couldn't believe his eyes. He called out to Gu Xing, who was washing clothes in the backyard, "Mother of the child, mother of the child!"

Gu Xing wiped her hands on her apron, stood up and walked quickly to the front yard, "What's wrong? I'm washing clothes."

Fang Dashan didn't say anything, but just signaled her with his eyes to look at Gu Tao who was standing in their yard and looking around.

Gu Xing saw who the person was and couldn't help but frowned, "It's you? Why are you coming to my house?"

Gu Tao walked up to Gu Xing with a smile, "Little sister, long time no see."

Gu Xing would not flatter her. She said, "We peasants dare not associate with you city people."

As an elder sister, she has always only had Gu Jin's family in her eyes. She has always disdained to have any contact with the second and third wives.

Now that he had suddenly come to her house, Gu Xing was 100% sure that Gu Tao was definitely not up to something bad.

Before coming here, Gu Tao had already anticipated that she would not be welcomed warmly, so even though she was confronted by Gu Xing, she still smiled.

Gu Tao sat down on one of the small wooden stools in the yard and placed the two packages of snacks she brought on the very old small wooden table in front of her. "Little sister, after so many years, do you still have any complaints about me?"

Gu Xing snorted coldly, "Don't say it's only been more than ten years. Even if it was twenty or thirty years ago, I would still have complaints against you."

Gu Tao still smiled, "You think your second brother's family treats you well, so you stand on his side, but dad and eldest brother are also good to me. I can't be unfilial, and I don't want to hurt my eldest brother's feelings, so..."

Gu Xing was furious, "Stop talking nonsense here! Am I standing on the side of Second Brother? I just don't want to go against my conscience like you guys!"

Gu Tao didn't argue with her, "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what I will do."

Gu Xing hated her most for her hateful expression of "Although I think I'm right, I won't argue with you". She was too lazy to argue with Gu Tao anymore. After all, if Gu Tao could make sense, they sisters would not have quarreled and cut off contact.

She raised her hand and pointed at the gate of her own yard, "Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"

Gu Tao sat still, "Little sister, I know you blame me, but I really came here today to repair our sisterhood."

Gu Xing sneered, "I don't have a cold-hearted sister like you."

Gu Tao put on a sincere look and said, "Little sister, we are sisters after all. Would I harm you?"

Gu Xing opened her mouth to speak, but Gu Tao spoke first, "Even if it was my second brother's family, I was just a bystander at best, but I never did anything bad to them."

Gu Xing was so angry that she laughed, "Then just continue to watch from the sidelines! Why are you coming over to make trouble?"

She pointed at Gu Tao and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are here for."

"You just think that my family has benefited from the second brother's family, so you are tempted to repair the relationship with the second brother's family."

"But my second brother's family is deeply hurt by you. If you come to their house, they will just drive you out, so you set your sights on my family."

"Am I right?"

Gu Tao shook her head, "Little sister, you are really wrong."

Gu Xing's temper is even hotter than that of Old Man Gu and Mrs. Li combined. Gu Tao knows that she will never help her mend the relationship with the second wife.

But she and Gu Jin's family were jealous of the benefits that Gu Xing's family had gained. In addition, Gu Jin and his son were determined not to let Gu Wenxuan's family "get upset", so the two families not only always got together to say sour words, but also gradually worked out a "good idea" that would allow them to reap the benefits while breaking up Gu Wenxuan's family and Gu Xing's family.

"I came here this time just to repair our sisterhood." Gu Tao stared at Gu Xing with sincerity, "I heard that your two children have been learning martial arts from the girl from the second house for the past six months. Plus, they both have great strength, so I wanted to find a better way out for them, so that you can also have a taste of the wealth and dignity of being a wife of an official."

Seeing that Gu Xing didn't believe her at all, Gu Tao added slowly, "Of course, I'm not doing this just for you."

"You are my biological sister, and they are my biological nephews. If you become successful, I, as your sister and aunt, will be proud, right?"

"You know, my father has always hoped that someone in our family would become an official. Now Yongwen is already a scholar, and his daughter is engaged to the son of the county magistrate. He will soon be able to work as an official in the county government."

"If you are willing to pay a hundred taels of silver, I can help you two families get a job and ask him to find a job for your two sons. Then you and your brother-in-law will be the old lady and old master of the official family."

Gu Xing was speechless. Her "good" sister was just like always treating others as fools, always thinking that she was the only smart person in the world.

She asked Gu Tao, "Why don't you let your son take this good job? Your family has been doing business for so many years, you should be able to come up with a hundred taels of silver, right?"

Gu Tao was embarrassed for a moment, but soon she smiled and explained, "It's because your nephew doesn't have the ability. He has never practiced martial arts, and he is not as strong as my two nephews. This job is not suitable for him."

Gu Xing said "Oh", "You mean a good job, isn't it that you want my son to be a government official?"

Gu Tao smiled at her and asked, "Why, little sister, do you think this job of a yamen runner is not yours?"

Gu Xing sneered, "Is this a question of whether I like it or not? Gu Tao, do you think that we country bumpkins don't know anything and can only be fooled by you?"

She took two steps closer to Gu Tao, "Why don't I know when the parents of yamen runners can be called old lady or old master?"

Gu Tao's eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look Gu Xing in the eye.

She had indeed always had a preconceived notion that Gu Xing's family were all ignorant country folk who could be manipulated by her with sweet talk.

Gu Xing picked up the two packages of snacks and threw them at Gu Tao's face with force, "Take your things and get out of here!"

Gu Tao reached out to catch them in a panic, and at least she was not hit directly in the face by the two packages of snacks.

She stood up without giving up, "Little sister, I really have good intentions. If you think being a yamen runner is not decent, Yongwen can also introduce your two sons to the army. With your two sons' abilities, they will surely be able to make military achievements and become high-ranking officials soon."

Gu Xing's eyes were wide open with anger, and she reached out to hit Gu Tao, the black-hearted man.
