After all, Jiang Xuehe went back with a large cart of things, and no matter how low-key she was, she was targeted, and the news from the West Courtyard soon came, and someone came to inquire the next day.

"I heard that the fifth brother and sister went out yesterday and not only bought people, but also bought ox carts and a lot of rice grain? Yesterday, my mother-in-law said that I was sorry that you two didn't leave half a penny, but I don't want the fifth brother and sister to be capable. Where did you earn this money, and tell your sister-in-law about it? ”

The person who came to inquire was the Li family, she was the most shrewd of the four daughters-in-law in the West Courtyard, although she privately felt that Jiang Xuehe must have taken her dowry to make up for it, but she definitely couldn't ask like that.

Jiang Xuehe had already guessed that someone would come to this experience, and when she heard this, she lowered her head and sighed: "I have no way to make money, but I just sold the barren mountain." ”

"Brother and sister sold that barren mountain so quickly?" Li Shi couldn't believe it, her man had just arranged a feng shui master yesterday, and he was about to come to the door today to say that the land was unlucky, but she had already sold the land?

"Didn't you pass by that barren mountain when you went to the county yesterday? I looked at it from afar, and it was really not suitable for growing crops, but there were wild grasses there, and I thought it was suitable for growing herbs. So later, when I went to Huichun Hall to ask Dr. Zhang for a visit, I mentioned it to him, and I thought that he just needed a piece of land to grow herbs, so I bought 200 acres for him. Jiang Xuehe has long been in cahoots with Dr. Zhang, so she is not afraid of being exposed.

The Rejuvenation Hall is the best medical hall in their county, and it is also the medical hall that has been opened in every county of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it needs a large number of medicinal materials every year, so they will indeed buy and grow herbs when they encounter the right place. Dr. Zhang often visits her mother, so she is familiar with her, and is willing to help her with this little favor, not to mention that she also agreed to lend 200 acres of land to Dr. Zhang for free for three years, and he can't afford to lose.

"Is it only half sold?" Li's heart was relieved, this was only half sold and the other party was the easiest to regret when it was just sold, as long as they made a little more movement, the other party would definitely be able to return this land!

Jiang Xuehe saw the glint in Li's eyes, and didn't want to talk to her more, so she said, "I still have to cook breakfast for my father-in-law, so I won't talk more with my sister-in-law." ”

When Li Shi heard the news he wanted, he naturally didn't want to continue talking to her, so he hurriedly returned to the West Courtyard and started to discuss with others how to deal with Gu Siyan and them.

The people in the West Courtyard only temporarily separated their families due to their reputation, but they still regarded the land in the East Courtyard as their own, and now they are planning how to drive out the three Gu Siyan brothers and sisters, after all, now that their people are becoming more and more prosperous, the West Courtyard is no longer enough.

Jiang Xuehe turned her head and went to the kitchen, and saw that Gu Sixian and Gu Sixing were already building a fire and preparing to cook. Seeing that Gu Sixian was still washing rice as usual, she only grabbed a small handful of rice and put a large pot of water in it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"What's the matter with you girl? Didn't I just come back from buying 200 catties of rice? How can it be saved like this? Even if you don't eat it yourself, your brother will still eat it. ”

Gu Sixian said in a low voice: "The sixth brother said that these are all bought by my sister-in-law's own money, and we can't always take advantage of my sister-in-law." ”

"Then you can't starve me!" Jiang Xuehe poked the little girl's forehead, took the scoop in Gu Sixian's hand and washed the rice herself, "Not only does your brother have to be intensively raised now, but you and the sixth brother should also take care of their bodies, instead of thinking about how to save me money, it is better to think about how to make money for me." ”

Gu Sixian was stunned for a moment: "Can I make money?" ”

Jiang Xuehe smiled: "Why not? There are some things that you can use once you learn them, even if you haven't learned them before, it's too late to start learning them now, and when I'm free in two days, I'll talk to you about it. ”

Gu Sixian nodded hurriedly.

Their brothers and sisters originally didn't have to worry about their livelihoods, no matter what they learned, they wouldn't think about making money, plus they didn't split up before, Qiao's kept a close eye on them, and she and Gu Sixing couldn't even ask Gu Siyan for another doctor, let alone go out to make money. But now they need money everywhere, everyone wants to earn some money by themselves, and they don't rely on Jiang Xuehe to make up for it all the time.

Jiang Xuehe can't make a fire, but she is a good cooker, and she is also cooking porridge, and the white rice porridge she boiled out is fragrant and glutinous, and the Gu Sixian brothers and sisters moved their fingers when they smelled the taste.

When she brought porridge into the house, Dr. Zhang was checking Gu Siyan's pulse, and when he saw her come in, he opened his mouth and said in disgust: "Didn't you let you stew some chicken soup to replenish his body?" ”

"I need to know where the chickens are here." Jiang Xuehe sighed, "I'll look for it when I have a good meal." ”

Gu Siyan just wanted to say no trouble, but Doctor Zhang said again: "You don't have to worry about this, the Gu family is very close to the Autumn Leaf Mountain behind, there is a family surnamed Tu Li on the mountain, who will go down the mountain every two or three days, and when I meet him next time, I will say hello to him and let him run to you every day when he goes down the mountain." ”

"Then thank you Dr. Zhang." Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "There may be many things that need to trouble Dr. Zhang in the future, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Doctor Zhang waved his hand indifferently: "I am also considered to have received the favor of your father, and I have always treated you as my own junior, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Jiang Xuehe looked at Dr. Zhang but was stunned, Dr. Zhang had only received a favor from his father once, but he had always taken care of their family everywhere, while her grandmother and uncle turned against her for the sake of family property.

After breakfast, Jiang Xuehe asked Gu Sixing to stay and take care of Gu Siyan, while she took Gu Sixian and the Yang family brothers and sisters to send Dr. Zhang back to the county seat. Seeing that a few of them had gone out, the people on the west side of the courtyard also hurriedly took action, wanting to go to the foot of the barren mountain to watch the show.

When Jiang Xuehe and the others passed through the barren mountain, they saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest walking down the mountain leisurely, shaking his head and sighing as he walked: "The fire burns the forest for ten thousand years, who has to be here full of sorrow." Leave karma and retribution, and the blood and light of the disaster are two lines. ”

As soon as Jiang Xuehe saw the posture of the Taoist priest, she understood that this person must have been found by the people in the West Courtyard, but that group of people thought that they and Dr. Zhang had never studied, right? Otherwise, how could you find such a person who is full of bullshit to pretend? Jiang Xuehe didn't want to deal with him at all, who knew that he dared to block the ox cart for the sake of money.

"Old man, I see that your Yin Tang is black, which is a great omen." The Taoist priest said and pinched his fingers and said solemnly, "You got an ominous place yesterday, you should get rid of it quickly, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster!" ”

The Taoist priest looked at the gods chattering, not at all like a master of the Tao, but like a charlatan with a problem with his brain.

Doctor Zhang glanced at the Taoist priest and said unhurriedly: "I see that your face is pale, your eyes are blue, and you are wheezing, this is a sign of tuberculosis!" Why don't you go to the Rejuvenation Hall for treatment? ”

The Taoist priest was taken aback, and then trotted forward, squinted at Dr. Zhang for a long time before he recognized the person, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Ouch, it turned out to be Dr. Zhang, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai and collided with you, I'm really sorry, you don't remember the villain!" ”

Doctor Zhang said impatiently: "You are already sick, and you have not accumulated yin virtue, so you actually collect money to do such an insidious thing, aren't you afraid that you will get retribution medicine stone no spirit when the time comes?" ”

"I can't help it, although Dr. Zhang is willing to give some grace, but I'm afraid that my illness can't be delayed, so I ...... if I'm in a hurry to raise money" The Taoist priest was about to cry at Dr. Zhang, "The Gu family said, as long as I can buy this barren mountain land and say that I am afraid that I don't want it, they will give me fifty taels!" ”

Gu Sinan, who was hiding on the side and peeking, was about to rush out and say that the Taoist priest was talking nonsense, but was stopped by Gu Sibei. Just kidding, if they pretend not to know about this, they can still say that the Taoist priest is climbing around, and if they rush out now, then they will not be able to say it at all.

Doctor Zhang laughed angrily when he heard this: "Didn't the Gu family say that they only had a total of twenty taels left, where could I give you fifty taels?" ”

"It's true! You see, this is the twenty-tael deposit they gave me. This Taoist chief still cherished his life, afraid that Dr. Zhang would ignore him if he was angry, so he hurriedly took out his purse.

Jiang Xuehe glanced at the purse and said with a smile: "The material of this purse is the same as the clothes that the fourth brother wore yesterday." This is considered a high-quality material, but it is a popular pattern in the capital twenty years ago, and ordinary people will not have it. ”

Gu Sibei was surprised when he heard this, he knew that Gu Jiaxing had moved from the capital to Hejia Village after his family was down, so many of the good things in their family were popular in the capital more than 20 years ago. But how did Jiang Xuehe know this? He had investigated the Jiang family before, and his ancestors were farmers for five generations!

But this fake Taoist priest was too useless, and he actually sold him all at once.

The fake Taoist priest was obviously able to sell him more thoroughly, and as soon as he heard Jiang Xuehe's words, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the material of the clothes on the young man who came to me yesterday is indeed the same as this purse!" He also said that he might need to trouble me often in the future, and it would be best to completely drive his fifth and sixth brothers out of Hejia Village! ”

Gu Sinan really wanted to pounce and hit someone, but he was held down hard by Gu Sibei, and covered Gu Sinan's mouth with one hand, lest Gu Sinan really reveal his whereabouts. In the end, the two brothers could only watch as the fake Taoist priest jumped into Jiang Xuehe's ox cart and left with them.

"What are you stopping me from doing?" Gu Sinan pushed Gu Sinan away dissatisfiedly, "That bastard took the money and betrayed us, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if I don't beat us!" ”

Gu Sibei frowned and said, "Why should the third brother be so impulsive? There are many ways to rectify him! If we expose it now, it will be difficult for us to get rid of it then! ”

"It's not your fault! I swear that this time it will be fine, but what kind of waste did you find? Even an old man in his sixties can't deal with it, and he spent twenty taels of silver on us in vain! ”

Gu Sibei was also angry when he heard this, thinking that if Gu Sinan wasn't a waste, why didn't he find a way to deal with the people in the East Courtyard by himself? It's like this every time, all the dirty and dirty things are arranged for him to do, and he can turn his head and blame him when he is clean.

If it weren't for the brother of a mother's compatriot, Gu Sibei would have killed him a long time ago!
