Gu Jiayi hummed a little song and returned to the village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As Info approached the courtyard, he saw a group of people standing in the dark. It's not good, don't you have something to do with your uncle, right?

She hurriedly settled the dates, and then walked over and grabbed a middle-aged woman and asked, "This aunt, what happened?" ”

The woman snorted and turned away from her.

The second monk Gu Jiayi was puzzled, who provoked you, who did you show your face! She didn't bother to meet this woman in general, listened to the discussion of the crowd, and walked quickly into the house.

Village Chief Hao was standing in the middle of the house, and said with a rare expression: "He Zhihao, you have to give an explanation to the villagers!" ”

He Zhihao leaned against the window, calmly and leisurely, drinking tea shallowly, ignoring the noisy crowd.

"Village chief, what's wrong with my brother-in-law?" Gu Jiayi also felt that He Zhihao was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Yi girl, you came back just in time!" A middle-aged man squeezed over and said, "Tell me, we all paid for He Zhihao to go to the provincial city for the exam, he was good, he gave up the exam privately, forget it if he gave up, but we have to return the money we paid, otherwise, don't blame us for not thinking about neighborliness!" ”

Seeing that the man had a fierce and vicious expression, and Village Chief Hao also had an expression of hatred for iron and steel, Gu Jiayi had no choice but to ask: "Village Chief, which families in the village have contributed money, and how much has each paid?" I will definitely return them one by one. ”

Village Chief Hao sighed helplessly, "The Wang family in the east of the village is three taels, the Li family is four taels, the Sun family is three taels, the Zhang family is five taels, the Zhao family is four taels, the Feng family in the west of the village is four taels, the Meng family is three taels, and our family is four taels, a total of thirty taels of silver." ”

Gu Jiayi took the pen and quickly wrote it down, and nodded: "Everyone go back, I will pay back the money in ten days, and I will send it to the door one by one." ”

"I said Sister Yi'er, it's not that I underestimate you, you are a little girl, and you have no relatives and no reason, how can you raise thirty taels of silver in ten days?" The middle-aged man gave her a disdainful look.

"We don't have to pay it back." Aunt Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, but she couldn't help but say after all.

Village Chief Hao also nodded, "We don't have to pay back the four taels in our family." ”

Gu Jiayi smiled slightly and shook her head, "The village chief and Aunt Zhang must not say that, it is natural to repay debts." As for how I raise money, I don't bother with everyone, I have my own way! ”

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Village Chief Hao. When everyone heard this, they dispersed.

Village Chief Hao glanced at He Zhihao and said to Gu Jiayi, "Mr. He seems to have become different. ”

Gu Jiayi was slightly stunned, and became different...... Could it be that he, like her, has crossed souls?

When everyone left, Gu Jiayi walked over and said to He Zhihao: "Uncle, thirty taels of silver is not a small amount, our money was stolen by Yuan Qinghua's mother and daughter, and even the walnut inventory was moved by them, where can we raise this money?" ”

Actually, she didn't say this because she really had no choice, she thought that she could go to the money to pay in advance, but thirty taels was not too much, it was a lot less, and she didn't know if people were willing to pay in advance, so she just wanted to hear what He Zhihao had to say.

"Hmm." He Zhihao just responded lightly. Gu Jiayi waited for a while, but didn't see anything else, and only felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Originally, He Zhihao was bent on gaining fame, but this time he suddenly gave up the exam, which was already surprising, and the villagers collected debts and chased them home, he still looked unhurried, which is even more strange, at this time, he is such a person with such a strong sense of responsibility, shouldn't he kneel down and repent, or tell why he gave up the exam to get the forgiveness of the villagers?

"Huh? I'm fine," He Zhihao said with a faint raised eyebrow, "I'm out." ”

Gu Jiayi looked at him suspiciously, until he walked out of the courtyard, and finally gave up the idea of stopping him. What has He Zhihao experienced in the past two months?

Gu Jiayi shook her head, how could she know what he had experienced, the most important thing at the moment was to raise thirty taels of silver.

However, do you really want to go to the money to make an advance?

"Sister Yi'er, are you at home?" Sister-in-law Niu pushed open the hidden door.

Gu Jiayi woke up suddenly, oh my God, she was asleep. Look at the sky again, it's already dark. However, it seems that He Zhihao has not returned.

"Here, sister-in-law Niu come in." Gu Jiayi said tiredly. Could it be that she is also here to ask for debts?

"Sister Yi'er, that's the case. Do you remember those red dates you sold me? Now that my dried jujubes have been made, I am thinking of selling them in the county, and the price can be sold higher, but I don't have any acquaintances in the county, but I think that you sold pecans before, and you should know the dry goods store in the city, so can you trouble you to run an errand, find a dry goods store, and help me sell the six catties of dried jujubes? ”

Gu Jiayi smiled slightly: "What should I do, this little thing, Sister-in-law Niu can rest assured." ”

"Well, that's good. I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning," Sister-in-law Niu paused as she spoke, rubbing her hands, and looking like she wanted to say something.

"Sister-in-law Niu, if you have anything to say, just say it." Gu Jiayi frowned slightly.

"Sister Yi'er, is Mr. at home?"

Gu Jiayi shook his head.

"Then I'll just say it straight," Sister-in-law Niu sat down, "I see that Mr. is not quite right, you should have gone out early this morning, you don't know, I came over in the morning to tell you about selling dried red dates, and I was about to knock on the door, when I heard Mr. talking to a man, Mr. seemed to be in pain, and the man seemed to be very fierce, I was about to listen carefully, but the door suddenly opened, Mr.'s expression was very indifferent, it can be said that there was really no expression at all, and his eyes were very empty, which really scared me at the time." ”

"What did they say?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear clearly."

At this time, there was a coughing sound from the courtyard, it was He Zhihao's voice. Sister-in-law Niu hurriedly stopped, got up and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Gu Jiayi nodded, looking at her in surprise, it seemed that she was a little afraid of He Zhihao.

He Zhihao walked in, his face was grim, and he didn't say a word. Although the former brother-in-law was not a person of much talk, he would never go out for most of the day, and even if he returned late, the first thing he would do when he came back would ask Gu Jiayi if he had eaten or something.

Seeing that he was about to go back to the room, Gu Jiayi still stopped him and said, "Uncle, where have you been?" Have you eaten? ”

He Zhihao didn't speak, didn't even look back, just nodded lightly, and went back to the room to close the door.

Gu Jiayi stood up, she was hungry, there was no food in this house, and she hadn't eaten for a day, what should she do?

She got up and walked into the yard, it turned out that it was not dark yet, so she thought that it would be better to go to the river and touch a few small fish to eat.

"That, uncle, I went to fish in the river!" Gu Jiayi shouted into the room. For a long time, there was no response. Gu Jiayi thought about it, but returned to the house, knocked on He Zhihao's door, and repeated it again.

"Hmm." What I got was still that word, and the tone was always light, and I couldn't hear the joy and anger.

Gu Jiayi sighed helplessly, although she was a little worried, she still left. My uncle used to forbid her to go down to the river to fish, firstly because she was like a wild girl, and secondly, because he was worried that the river would be in danger due to the rapids. And now? It seems that she is becoming less and less interested in her niece. Could it be that my uncle has a crush?
