Chapter 23: Village Chief, Someone Is Trying to Calculate You
Aunt Gu's house.
When Aunt Gu Qi saw her eldest son Gu Jinlin coming back, she hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
The day after tomorrow is the day of the burial of the eldest prince Huang, Gu Jinlin concealed the speculation in his heart: "Master Huang thinks that we are angry about hiding the county order to pay the medical expenses for the Lin family, so let's send the Lin family tomorrow afternoon." ”
Aunt Gu Qi thought about it and told her about wanting to take the Lin family away today and meeting Gu Jinxiu.
Hearing this, Gu Jinlin thought of the matter of Uncle Gu Sanshu asking him to send the Lin family to the Huang family yesterday, "Mother, tomorrow we will go and take people away, if Gu Jinhao stops them again, we will say that we will take people home to recuperate, and never mention the matter of remarriage, do you think it is feasible?" ”
Aunt Gu Qi thought that it was feasible and wanted to nod, but she heard a knock on the door and asked loudly in the air, "Who?" ”
After asking, Aunt Gu Qi asked Gu Jinlin's daughter-in-law to open the door.
Seeing that it was the He family and the Liu family, Aunt Gu Qi got up to greet her and said enthusiastically, "Why are my younger brothers and sisters here?" ”
In the Gu family, in the Qingzi generation, Gu Qingzhi is younger than Gu Qi's husband, so there is such a title as Gu Qijiao.
He said guiltily: "Seventh sister-in-law, my daughter-in-law is shallow and ignorant, you came to find my son to do something, but she asked you for benefits, I only found out about this today, no, I will return it to you." ”
Saying that, He returned the money bag containing five hundred Wen to Aunt Gu Qi, and said, "Liu didn't hurry up to apologize to Seventh Sister-in-law." ”
Liu reluctantly apologized to Aunt Gu Qi.
He Shi looked at the money bag with hot eyes, saw Gu Jinlin shaking his head at her, and reluctantly pushed it back to He Shi and said: "Does this work cost money, which is a benefit, this can't be blamed on the nephew and daughter-in-law, brother and sister, you quickly take it back." ”
He handed it to Aunt Gu Qi again, and politely refused: "This is not good, if you accept this, it will not ruin my husband's reputation." ”
Seeing that He cherished her husband's reputation, Aunt Gu Qi clutched the money and didn't let go, feeling that there was no need to hand the money back, Gu Jinhao was a scholar, cherished his reputation, and would never do anything backsliding.
Aunt Gu Qi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take the money." ”
He nodded, apologized again, and left with Liu.
Gu Jinlin wanted to stop it just now, but when he saw Aunt Gu Qi clutching the money bag and looking like she was fascinated by money, he knew that even if he spoke, he couldn't stop Aunt Gu Qi.
Gu Jinlin said unhappily: "Mother, how can you accept the money, this is the best evidence to coerce Gu Jinhao to stop caring about the Lin family's remarriage." ”
Aunt Gu Qi poured out the silver money in the money bag, counted the copper plates, and said: "Silly son, we will do what you say tomorrow, Gu Jinhao's kid can't help but let us take the Lin family home, if not, we will let him take the Lin family home, and said in the village that Gu Jinhao has taken a fancy to the Lin family and wants to compete with the Huang family for the Lin family, which can not only make his family restless, but also make the people in the village complain about his family. His reputation as a scholar was also ruined. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Gu Qi's family felt that this plan was very good, and they were looking forward to tomorrow's arrival.
At the same time, Gu Qingyun's family.
"Patriarch, is Li Goudan willing to pay back?"
"We're still waiting to rent the land and farm, Patriarch, what's going on?"
“……”
Gu Qingyun saw everyone gossiping, which made him have a headache, he went to the county town today to find Li Goudan and found that his family's grocery store was closed, and he didn't see anyone at all, so he returned to the village and went to his house to look for it, and inquired and learned that he hadn't been home for a month.
Now that the period of debt has passed, Gu Qingyun thinks that if he is not the patriarch and has prestige in the village, he is afraid that he will be beaten at this time.
"Everyone be quiet," Gu Qingyun waved his hand and said: "I know that everyone is anxious, and I am also thinking of a way for everyone, you have also seen that my family is not rich, if it is rich, I will definitely help Li Goudan to pay the money first." ”
Gu San said in the crowd: "Patriarch, you are also in trouble, you have been doing your best to help us recover the money recently, how can we use your money, we will go to Li Goudan's house now to look for it, and pawn it to see if there is anything valuable, so as to solve everyone's urgent needs." ”
"How did we forget Li Goudan's home, let's hurry up and search Li Goudan's house."
"Let's go, let's hurry up, don't go too late, there's nothing."
“……”
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, Gu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he knew that Li Goudan was not trustworthy, he shouldn't have been for the benefit of three taels of silver, and he would be the guarantor now, and it would be too late to regret it.
"Patriarch, are you alright?" Third Uncle Gu saw that Gu Qingyun was in a daze and asked.
Gu Qingyun shook his head and said sincerely: "Gu San thank you today, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”
Uncle Gu waved his hand and said indifferently: "Hey, what did the eldest brother say, thanks to you for helping this little brother on weekdays, today my brother is in trouble, how can I stand by as a little brother." ”
After a pause, Third Uncle Gu gave Gu Qingyun an idea and said, "Patriarch, don't you always want to find trouble with Gu Jinhao, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Gu Qingyun felt that it was not feasible, Gu Jinhao's kid was very likely to ask him for money as a guarantor, "No, you forgot, I am the guarantor." ”
Third Uncle Gu leaned into Gu Qingyun's ear and said a few words, a gleam flashed in Gu Qingyun's shrewd eyes, and said, "Just do what you want, if this matter is done, I will give fifty wen." ”
Hearing this, Uncle Gu pouted with some disgust, Gu Qingyun really picked the door!
Who made him short of money recently, otherwise he wouldn't have done things for Gu Qingyun!
Gu Jinxiu, who didn't know that she was being calculated by the two families, was quietly processing the grain seeds she bought from the grocery store today at this time, which was the second step of her first cut and then played.
And her first step was to buy land, and she originally thought that she would do it today, but who knew that Master Liu's book was not available.
She's going to do it tomorrow!
Gu Jinxiu poured the selected grain seeds into the diluted fresh lime water to soak, and was just about to move the basin back to the house, when he heard the sound of the door opening, and it was too late to leave, so he had to think of an excuse to deal with it.
He and Liu walked into the house together, saw Gu Jinxiu carrying the basin, and smelled a smell of lime, He asked, "Jinhao, what are you doing?" ”
Gu Jinxiu saw the two of them slowly walking towards her, hurriedly turned around and walked towards the house, and said, "Mother, I think there is a musty smell in the room, seeing that the book says that lime soaked in water can remove the musty smell by sprinkling it on the ground, I plan to give it a try." ”
After speaking, Gu Jinxiu walked into the room with a wooden basin, tied the door by the way, and then planned to hide the wooden basin under the bed for four or five days.
Liu looked at Gu Jinxiu's back and said, "Mother, don't you think she is mysterious?" ”
He glanced at Liu, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Liu pouted boringly, she wouldn't go to the kitchen to help, anyway, He wouldn't let her starve, so she went straight back to the room.
