After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 312 Don’t make me wait too long

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she laughed: "If that's the case, we will feel at ease. When we were at home before, we never thought that one day we would live such a comfortable life."

Xia Wanniang looked at her: "Are you feeling comfortable?"

Mrs. Guo nodded and said, "My grandmother favors boys over girls, and my father is the same, so we girls do the dirtiest and most tiring work at home, and we have to give everything to the boys in the family."

"Even so, the person we will marry in the future is for the boy in our family." She looked at Yang Ping and said, "If it weren't for what happened before, I'm afraid I would have been sold to a brothel."

Xia Wanniang was a little surprised: "Ordinary people would not easily sell their daughters to a brothel."

Mrs. Guo smiled bitterly: "You said ordinary people, but our family is not like that. The men in our family are all lazy and greedy. When they have no money, they will sell their daughters."

Xia Wanniang didn't even know what to say. Here, women obeyed their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands' death. They had no say at all, and their lives were in the hands of these people.

Guo looked at the women in the brothel and said, "My younger aunt was also sold into a brothel. She died within three months."

Xia Wanniang silently looked at the women who were exercising seriously over there. They were really strong.

After Yangping saw Guo leave, he asked the child next to him to get him something to get him away.

Xia Wanniang looked at Yang Ping: "Anything to say?"

Yang Ping had just heard their conversation, and he nodded: "Actually, the women in these brothels are still relatively good. The women in the military camps have a much worse life than them."

Xia Wanniang knew that the women in the military camp were all daughters of criminals who had committed serious crimes, or women who had committed serious crimes themselves: "Brother Yang knows a lot."

Yang Ping immediately realized that she had misunderstood: "Don't think too much, there is no such woman in the Xiao family army. The general does not want everyone's morale to be weakened."

Xia Wanniang was a little surprised, but she could also understand that the Xiao family was always different.

At night, when everyone was asleep, she sat in the yard and looked at the open gate to the backyard.

Qiu He walked into the yard with a smile on his face, and his expression changed from fear to admiration for her.

Xia Wanniang poured him a cup of tea: "It seems that business is good today."

Qiu put the account book in front of her: "Take a look."

Xia Wanniang picked up a book at random and took a look at it: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the reputation of the Gold Consumption Cave is indeed well-deserved."

Qiu He also took out a few pieces of letter paper from his sleeves. Take a look at these.

Xia Wanniang looked at the contents of the letter. This was much more interesting than the previous letters about whose hen had laid a number of eggs or whose cat had run away.

"It seems to be working well."

Qiu He nodded: "We have to wait for the information from the brothel, it's very lively here at night."

Xia Wanniang smiled: "The better your business is, the more anxious the people behind the scenes will be."

Qiu He thought for a moment and said, "I've been coming to your place frequently recently, I'm afraid he might be targeting you."

Xia Wanniang smiled faintly: "If he doesn't target me, how can I know who he is and what he wants to do?"

Qiu He put down the hand that had picked up the teacup and said, "Your shop has not been open yet. Are you waiting for me?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "No matter how good my shop's business is, it's just that he knows there is a new theater. But yours is different. He also has a shop like this under his name. If the business gets worse, do you think he will be anxious?"

Qiu He raised the hand holding the teacup: "I would like to find out the truth. I want to know how my opponent, who was not as good as me, suddenly became so powerful."

Xia Wanniang raised the corner of her mouth: "Yes, my purse has been touched, I have to go see who is so capable, right?"

Qiu He looked at her and said, "What a good trick to lure the snake out of its hole. Everything is ready except for the east wind. I just don't know if he can keep his composure."

Xia Wanniang shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter if he can keep his composure. He will no longer have a place to stand in Luocheng. If he can't keep his composure, our goal will be achieved."

Qiu He had to admit that this move of hers had forced the person behind the scenes into a dilemma, unable to retreat or advance: "I'm looking forward to seeing him appear."

Xia Wanniang: "Have someone keep an eye on unfamiliar faces recently. If someone asks about you, you don't have to hide anything, just tell the truth."

Qiu He put down the teacup and said, "I'm looking forward to the opening of your shop." After saying that, he stood up and left the yard with the account book.

Xia Wanniang looked up at the starry sky: "Don't make me wait too long!"
