The old lady thought that the time when Gui Yuan was naturalized in Shilipu was the same as the time when the Wu family married, and he was in the name of the head of the household, but it looked like he was rich. No matter how much resentment there is, when encountering the word "into the redundancy", it makes the old lady's heart tremble, and it hurts like a pinprick in a pin.

The woman's eyes fell on Gui Chongyang, thinking that his date of birth was the same day as the day of the loss of his mother, pitiful, it turned out to be born and lost his mother, and his cousin was a man who was careless, but for the good of his son, he should also evening report the issue of Gui Wu's death for one day, otherwise there is nothing in plain life, and when Gui Chongyang says that he is married, the words "born and mother" will be revealed, whether you believe it or not, such a life makes people picky and talk.

The girl bit her lip, but she felt a little uncomfortable, after all, this is the Gui family, and her aunt and herself can live in a daze before, what will she do in the future? Although my aunt has been embroidering all these years, it is just an ordinary job, and she has to feed three people, and the accumulated silver money is used by the late Mrs. Gui for medical treatment, and the first two years in order to send the old man also advanced silver money from the embroidery workshop, and has not yet paid off, how to calculate this bad debt? But if she wants to say that their aunt and nephew are guests, then she is not comfortable in her heart, after all, she and her aunt have lived in the Gui family for more than ten years, and Gui Chongyang only showed up today.

No one spoke in the room, Gui Chongyang lowered his eyes and continued to touch the white cat, thinking about how to deal with it. He can't accept the identity of a concubine, no matter what the reason, he is sorry for his dead wife, but the woman who has been in the Gui family for more than ten years in front of him will not be willing to give up the identity of the original wife. If it is a stalemate, how to resolve the situation?

Or the woman spoke first.

The woman looked at Gui Chongyang, her face was complicated, and after a while, she said: "The Gui family's room can have a bloodline inheritance, and my aunt can finally feel at ease underground." ”

Gui Chongyang's heart moved, raised his head, the woman had already lowered her eyes, and said softly: "The slave and your father are cousins, if you want to, you can call the slave 'cousin'." ”

The old lady turned her head and said with a disapproving face: "How can you say so? ”

The woman's shoulders trembled slightly, her hands supported the edge of the kang under her, barely supported, and said: "Second uncle, this is the Gui family, the eldest aunt took in and sheltered at the beginning, it was the eldest aunt's love, and now the fourth cousin is gone, but it is already a great luck to leave a bloodline, why bother for those false ones?"

Mujia Village is just a small village where ordinary farmers live, but the people in the village also know that the "little lady" is not very obedient.

The stories of those big families, don't do anything to the common people. The Gui family only has three dilapidated houses, a few acres of inferior land that can't grow crops, and they can barely eat enough. Gui Chongyang and this woman, if they really fight in the name of "wife" and "son-in-law", it will be a real big joke.

The old lady's face was full of depression, but she couldn't write two words "Gui" in one stroke, and glared at Gui Chongyang and said, "What elders are there in your grandmother's family, but they have been bullied?" How can you send a child back from such a long distance? ”

The old man's face was disgusting and kind, and his tone was hard, but there was a bit of worry hidden in it.

Time is the best medicine, the old lady once cursed Gui Yuan day and night, but more than ten years have passed, and no matter how deep the resentment is, it has faded. If Gui Yuan came back, the old lady said that she would not be able to cut people with a pig-killing knife, and now that the deceased is the greatest, even if the old lady is full of depression, she will not be able to vent it on a sick orphan son.

Seeing that they didn't continue to worry about their identity, Gui Chongyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his little face and said, "There are only me and my dad in the family...... My father has two and no other relatives, and my father left a message for me to go back to Mujia Village......"

*

The Gui family has two rooms, the main house.

Gui Chongyang hugged the little white cat, sat on the stool, looked at the circle of people around him in front of him, and couldn't help counting in his heart: "One, two, three, four......"

Counting the "cousin" and her niece, there are only six people in front of them, it is Gui Er's grandfather and Gui's second grandmother (black-faced old lady) and his wife, Gui's second uncle's widow Yang, and Yang's eldest son Gui Chun. In addition to the six people in front of him, Gui Chun also has a younger brother who works as an apprentice in the town's grocery store; As for Gui Yuan's cousin who once mentioned the fifth row in the second room, he was not in front of him, and no one mentioned it.

Gui's second grandfather was lame on one leg, his hair was gray, and his actual age was less than sixty years old, and he looked like he was seventy; Yang is a few years older than her "cousin", with sporadic sideburns, thick hands and feet, and Gui's second grandmother is really a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who looks thicker than ordinary women; Gui Chun was eighteen years old, tall and tall with his grandparents, wearing patched shorts, but unlike the ordinary unkempt country boys, he was a little more neat and tidy.

A group of people looked at Gui Chongyang with different expressions.

Elders like Gui's second grandfather, Gui's second grandmother, and Yang's family are inevitably in mixed moods. You must know that the reason why the Gui family is so poor is because Gui Chongyang's father made a big mistake back then.

Thirteen years ago, the imperial court wanted to send troops to Mongolia, and from Tongzhou to draw civilian service to transport grain to the army, and it was two to draw one, three to draw two, there were two adult males in the family to draw one, and three adult males to draw two. Gui Dahai entrusted the people in the Yamen to leave the relationship, and he could give Ding Yin instead of Ding Gong, one Ding and five taels of official silver.

At that time, money was cheap and expensive, and five taels of silver cost almost six yuan, which was the income of ordinary farmers for one or two years. The land around Mujia Village is barren, and everyone is not rich, but when their lives are at stake, every family has also made great efforts to eat milk, borrowing money everywhere, and those who can afford Ding Yin have come out, and there is no way to make up the real ones.

Just two days before the day of the drawing, when Gui Dahai redeemed the silver and was about to go to the county government to go through the formalities, Gui Dahai's youngest son Gui Yuan stole the silver and ran away.

It was Ding silver for dozens of people, and Village Chief Gui could only sell land to make up silver, but in a hurry, where could he sell the bid? The land originally worth four or five taels of silver per mu was sold at half of the price, and the family's newly built blue brick house was also bought by relatives at a low price.

The three Gui Dahai brothers have long been separated, and each family is just an ordinary day. Gui's second grandfather, Gui's third grandfather and Gui Dahai's brothers have a deep relationship, and when they saw that the Gui family was in great trouble, they agreed to sell their family's land. The silver was lost by his own family, and naturally it was counted from the men of the Gui family.

Jiuding of Mujia Village followed the Ding service, but in the first grain delivery mission, he encountered the Mongolian cavalry, and nine people died.

Among the nine killed, including the eldest and second sons of the village chief Gui, the eldest son of the second grandfather of Gui, the third grandfather of the gui, as well as the brother-in-law and nephew of the village chief of Gui, the nephew and cousin of the chief of the village of Gui, and the brother of the daughter-in-law of the elder daughter of the village of Gui, there is no outsider, they are all in-laws.

When the government reported the funeral to the village, every family hung white, and the village mourned together.
