Chapter 40: Step by step
"Why did you come back so early?" Chen looked at the sky, a little surprised, and then looked at the faces of the three of them, especially Gu Dazhuang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Dazhuang didn't speak, walked to the middle of the yard by himself, poured the persimmons in the basket on the ground, and then entered the house silently.
"What's wrong with your father?" Chen was a little worried, she had been married for many years, and she understood Gu Dazhuang's temperament, and she was obviously very angry with this look.
"Shh Gu Yuanniang's face was also a little ugly, she first made a silent gesture towards the Chen family, and then turned her head to the second mother and third mother beside her and said, "You two go to the house first." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Chen's heart tightened when he was made, and he waited for Yuan Niang to come over and ask in a low voice.
"We have just gone up the mountain today, and the mountain is full of people, all carrying baskets, picking persimmons there." Gu Yuanniang couldn't help but feel angry for a while as she spoke.
"The persimmon is not our family, people are willing to pick it, why are they still angry like this. Did they say something? "Gu Dazhuang is not an unreasonable person, if he just met someone else picking persimmons, he wouldn't be angry like this, there must be other things happening here.
Gu Siniang in the house frowned, listening to Gu Erniang Sanniang's description, she only felt that her chest was holding her breath.
"Why do they say that?"
Gu Erniang sneered, "What else can you rely on, with that cheeky skin." ”
"When did this mountain become a village, and for so many years, the people of the village have been cutting wood, hunting, and picking fruits in it. It's not that we have made money, these people are red-eyed, don't you see, this village chief is here, with a few elders in the village, who look fierce and vicious, and almost pointed at his father's nose and scolded. Gu San's face flushed, if it weren't for her young age, she would definitely rush up to reason with those people today.
Today, Gu Dazhuang took Gu Yuanniang's three sisters up the mountain together, originally thinking that they would pick some more fruits and come back to make them together, so that they would not be sold out of stock in the next market. The last batch sold very well for two days in a row, the price of persimmons is cheaper than other fruits, but the taste is not as bad as theirs, and it is especially suitable for the elderly and children, so many people come to sell them, and even the surrounding towns have heard of it.
The news spread quickly, and naturally it also spread back to Lotus Village, and the village soon made a fuss, and the village chief didn't know who he had listened to, and felt that Lotus Mountain was the property of the village, and persimmons were naturally part of the village.
Gu Dazhuang is honest, but not stupid, the village chief's words are obviously unreasonable, the villagers are all relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the mushrooms, pheasants, and hares produced in the mountains are many of them taken to the town for money, how could there ever be a saying that money was paid to the village.
"So Daddy brought you back later?" Gu Siniang asked.
Gu Erniang nodded, "It's not that we're back, we haven't picked a few persimmons, haven't you seen that those persimmon trees are all bare." ”
"Siniang, what do you say, you can't let them know the method of this persimmon. These people are black-hearted. Gu Sanniang asked naturally, I don't know why Siniang is the youngest, but sometimes there is a feeling that people can be trusted.
"yes, you just can't let them know. Anyway, they don't know how to do it, this persimmon is just a bunch of astringent fruits that pigs don't eat. Gu Siniang lowered her head and thought about it and said.
She originally planned to announce the method after selling a few batches, after all, her family's resources and material resources are limited, and there are so many fruits on the mountain that can't be sold, so it is better to let everyone sell them together to make money.
But now she has changed her mind, she took the initiative to say and was forced to say that it is a different thing, anyway, that method will not be known in a day or two, if it is so easy, so many persimmons will not be allowed to rot for so many years and no one will eat them.
"What's going on outside?" Gu Sanniang cleverly climbed to the window, opened the window and poked her head out, "Oh no, it's the village chief, who brought someone to our house." ”
"This group of shameless people has chased after them." Gu Er was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out to theorize.
"Second sister, don't worry, let's take a look first." Gu Siniang grabbed Gu Erniang, shook her head at her, and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten about the fourth uncle?" ”
Village Chief Geng is the village head of Lianhua Village, and if she wants to do some business in the village in the future, she must have the support of the village chief, otherwise there will always be a lot of inconvenience. Moreover, she didn't want to offend Village Chief Geng because the fourth uncle Gu Sizhuang and Village Chief Geng's daughter Geng Huiwen were childhood sweethearts, although Village Chief Geng did not agree with his daughter marrying Gu Sizhuang, but as her daughter got older, she didn't insist so much. If this matter is not handled well and offends him, I am afraid that it will affect the fourth uncle.
Gu Erniang was also stunned when she heard this, and reached out to pat her forehead, "Why did I forget, fortunately I didn't have impulsiveness." ”
"Like, let's go out and see what they have to say." Gu Siniang said.
Outside the door, Geng Pinggui was hugged into the Gu family, to be honest, he was a little difficult to ride a tiger now, and he was very unhappy.
There is no rule that this Lotus Mountain is the property of the village, how many years have those persimmons grown on the mountain, because they are too astringent, so no one eats them, and now the Gu family has come up with a way to make the persimmons sweet, and he changed to say that this thing can't be sold is indeed a bit untenable. Moreover, the relationship between his daughter and Gu Sizhuang is still hanging there, if Gu Sizhuang's kid really wins the show, the two families will be in-laws.
But there was no way, several old people in the village came to his house and asked him to uphold justice, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Gu Dazhuang stood in the courtyard, his thick eyebrows raised, his eyes widened, and his nose kept bubbling out, and he really couldn't say a word. Chen stood aside, his eyes were red, and he was anxious and angry, but he couldn't think of a way.
"I said, village chief, what are you doing with so many people coming to our house?" Ma Shi wiped his hands with the apron around his waist, looked at the person in front of him, and raised his voice a lot, "Is this a guest at my house or a question?" ”
"Sister-in-law Gu, look at what you said." Village Chief Geng was a little embarrassed, he was the same as the Ma family, and he had known each other for decades.
"I can't afford this sister-in-law of the village chief." Ma's calm face and voice were also cold.
"Ma, do you Gu family know that it's wrong?" The man in the coarse cloth robe behind the village chief Geng spoke, looking about sixty years old, and his beard was a lot white, and he looked very majestic.
"What do I know is wrong?" Ma Shi sneered, "It's you, Old Li, I haven't seen you for several years, so you are still alive." ”
Li Cheng was the previous village chief of Lotus Village, and he had a personal grudge with the Gu family, and Ma's eyes immediately lit up when he saw him, and he was not polite at all.
"You ......" Li Cheng almost couldn't get up in one breath when he heard this, his body subconsciously leaned back, but fortunately he was supported by the one behind him and did not fall, he relieved himself several times before he spoke, "Presumptuous, it's really lawless." ”
