Gu Jinli was very satisfied with He San's words, but she still raised the wooden stick, and in He San's frightened eyes, she screamed and knocked He Sanzi unconscious.

After He San's leper was knocked unconscious, Qin Sanlang untied him and threw him in the stove.

Gu Jinli picked up the old hen that had been plucked by He San's leprosy, and ran towards the old house at the end of the village with Qin Sanlang.

When the two came back, several families were still discussing things at Gu Jinli's house, and they were all worried.

Seeing Qin Sanlang and Gu Jinli coming in, still carrying a hairless old hen in his hand, he was startled and asked, "Where have you gone?" Where did this old hen come from? ”

None of them have chickens.

"He San leper is filial." Gu Jinli smiled and gave the old hen to Cui's and said to her: "Mother, we are hungry, you go and make this old hen, let's have a supper." ”

Anyway, the old hen was stolen by He San's leprosy, and it has nothing to do with her.

Cui Shi was so frightened that he took the old hen, Gu Jinan heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What is the filial piety of the third leper?" Did you go to find He San's leper? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened.

The third grandmother ran up and looked at Gu Jinli, but after not seeing her injuries, she said happily: "You guys are too bold, how can you go to He San's leprosy?" That's a bastard, what if something happens? ”

Gu Jinli took two small stools, handed one of them to Qin Sanlang, and sat down with the other stool. After they sat on straw mats for half a month, they finally had a stool at home.

"Third grandma don't worry, He San's leper can't beat us, and he was beaten by us." Gu Jinli told everyone about the fact that they had found He San's leper.

Several families were frightened when they heard this, and the Chu family asked worriedly: "He San Leper won't bring the bastards from the village to settle accounts with us, right?" ”

Qin Sanlang said: "Aunt Luo, don't worry, then He Sanzi was frightened and didn't dare to provoke us again." ”

He San's leper is the bastard who bullies the soft and fears the hard, and only dares to bully those who are weak, but Xiaoyu scares him with his life, even if he hates them, he doesn't dare to risk his life.

When Chu heard this, he was relieved.

Gu Jinli said: "He San Leper said, the county Cheng and the county lieutenant have a grudge, the county Cheng has a relationship with the Lu family, and the Lu family and the county Cheng want our recipe, then let's go to the county lieutenant, this recipe is given to the county lieutenant for nothing, and his Lu family and Zou County Cheng don't want to get it!" ”

Chen heard it and shouted, "Why give it to the county lieutenant?" What kind of officer is the county lieutenant? Isn't the biggest in this county the county magistrate? Why don't we look for a county order? ”

Qin Lao understands some of the official system of Da Chu, and said: "The county order is the chief official, and it changes every three years, we have settled in Tianfu County, and we will live here for more than three years, and the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant are adjutants, and the court is not strictly controlled, and if you do a good job, you can do it for a lifetime, and you can even pass it on to the children and grandchildren of the family." Therefore, it is better to find a county lieutenant than a county order. ”

Father Luo nodded: "Xiaoyu is right with Elder Qin, it's better to find a county lieutenant for this matter." This county lieutenant has a grudge against the county magistrate, and because of this feud, the county lieutenant is willing to protect us. ”

Gu Dafu was a little worried: "We are a group of disaster victims who fled the famine, is the county lieutenant willing to help us?" ”

Father Luo said: "We have a tofu recipe in our hands, this is a fresh food, if we dedicate the recipe to the county governor, the county lieutenant should be willing to protect us." ”

Chen's flesh hurt so much: "This tofu recipe is our life's work, do you really want to give it away?" Can't you give it? ”

The third grandfather sighed: "If the county is really going to rob it, we can't keep this recipe, so it's better to give it to the enemy of the county and change the shelter." ”

Gu Jinli said: "We only know that the county lieutenant has a grudge against the county lieutenant, what kind of person the county lieutenant is, we don't know yet, we have to check it first." If the character is good, we can cooperate with him to make tofu for a living, if the character is not good, let's find another way to deal with the county. ”

She didn't want the wolf to be killed and attract another tiger.

Chen is still very worried: "If the county lieutenant doesn't help us, and the county magistrate snatches our tofu recipe again, what should we do?" ”

He also said: "We are the victims who fled the famine, and we can't move our household registration within three years, if we don't have a tofu recipe, we can't leave, and we will be bullied to death at that time." Eh, why are you so sad these days? ”

The more Chen spoke, the more angry he became, and he jumped up and scolded the Lu family and the county family.

Gu Dagui grabbed her and scolded: "What are you howling in the middle of the night, you are still thinking about it, what are you talking about." ”

Gu Jinli knew that this matter had made several families very upset, so he said: "Don't worry, even if this tofu can't be made, we can still make other things to sell, and I will make more than tofu." ”

And she won't let this tofu make a living, and want to snatch things from her. Yes, take your life in exchange!

Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked her, "Xiaoyu, what you said is true?" If you still have any good things to do, tell your aunt about them. ”

The third grandfather interrupted Chen: "Okay, let's talk about this later, let's discuss what we want to do tomorrow." ”

In the end, after some discussion, the third grandfather and Qin Lao decided to divide the manpower into four teams.

One team will continue to set up a stall tomorrow; One team continued to make tofu at home and watch the house; Qin Sanlang and Qin Lao went to the county seat to inquire about the situation of the county lieutenant; The third grandfather took Gu Jinan to Shangjia Village to visit Shang Xiucai.

Although they are in trouble now, Gu Jin'an's school still has to be done.

After several families discussed, it was already time, and after drinking a bowl of Cui's boiled old hen soup and a bean dregs cake, they went home.

The next day, before they went out, a fifty-year-old mother-in-law with hanging eyes and a sharp mouth came to Gu Jinli's house, patted the courtyard door of Gu Jinli's house, and shouted into the courtyard: "The surname Gu, the third master of our family has something to do with you, let you come out and follow the old woman to see the third master." ”

Qin Sanlang and Qin Lao were packing up their things and planning to go to the county to inquire about the news, when they heard the words of their mother-in-law, they put down the things in their hands and stood in their yard to watch.

After a while, they saw the third grandmother and the third grandfather come out to open the door and whisper to the mother-in-law.

After the mother-in-law heard the words of the third grandmother and the third grandfather, she was furious, pointed at the third grandfather and the third grandmother and said: "Don't be embarrassed, you go to the village to inquire, who does the third master want to see, and who dares not to go?" ”

The third grandmother frowned, and said very hardly: "Our family still has to do work, I don't have time to see your third master, and we will go back when we are busy." ”

"When you're done?" The mother-in-law sneered: "What work do you have to do? Make tofu, don't do it, this will be our Lu family's industry from now on. ”

This is said very excessively, which shows how arrogant this Lu family usually is, and even a subordinate dares to say that he is plotting to seize other people's property.

Gu Jinli took a broom and hit the woman indiscriminately: "Let me, let me, don't hinder my house from sweeping the floor." ”

"Eh, you stinky girl, where are you going?" The mother-in-law hurriedly retreated, avoiding Gu Jinli's broom, and after she withdrew from the courtyard, Gu Jinli slammed the courtyard door shut.

The mother-in-law knew that she was deliberate, so she was very angry, with one hand on her waist, and the other hand pointing to the Gu family's dirt yard and scolding: "A group of beggars who fled from the famine, you are still arrogant, you wait, the third master will not let you go!" ”

If they offend the Lu family, they don't want to live in this village.

The mother-in-law left angrily.

Several families all came to Gu Jinli's house to ask about what happened just now. They thought that the Lu family would send someone again, so they didn't dare to leave, and they all gathered at Gu Jinli's house to wait.

But they didn't wait for the descendants of the Lu family, but they waited for Lu Laosan.
