The next morning, in the old house, Gu Zhidong left the house with some copper plates on his body. He was going to his sister's husband's house to call her out, and then together they would go to the ravine to find the man who had bought the woman, and consult with them.

More than an hour later, Gu Zhidong, who had already gone to the town, smelled the fragrance wafting around, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He touched the copper plate in his pocket, and there were not many copper plates in it, enough for him to simply buy one or two buns on the road, as well as the travel expenses to his in-laws' house.

However, the family's money and power are all in the hands of my father, and it will be difficult for me to want some money in the future.

Although he hides some private money on weekdays, he doesn't dare to spend it lavishly, for fear that after spending it, he will become empty-handed and empty-sleeved.

Although these copper plates are enough to buy a vegetarian bun and a steamed bun, it is impossible to buy some meaty and fragrant food.

These foods are like wontons, which are full of meat, but they cost five or six cents a night.

Holding back the saliva that wanted to come out, he quickly looked away, not daring to look at the stalls that smelled of them.

Alas, he had no choice but to buy a vegetarian bun and a steamed bun, and then get on the ox cart that went to his brother-in-law's village.

Her village is not close, and this bun is still left on the road to eat.

looked at the steamed buns wrapped in oiled paper, the buns were hot and soft, and he wanted to eat them now.

He took a deep breath of the scent of the bun, and then he put it in his arms, and it was the kind that was close to his chest.

Although it was still a little hot, he was happy and happy.

The bullock cart without a shed swayed, and the sun gradually rose to half a watch, making him sweat profusely and thirsty in his mouth.

Moreover, his stomach was already rumbling by this time.

So, he took out the bun that was close to his chest and opened it and took a bite. A thirsty mouth, a dry bread, it's just too bad to eat.

Looking at the driver who was driving the car, he put down the bun in his hand, looked at him and asked with some disgust: "Driver, I'm thirsty, do you bring water?"

The coachman, who was concentrating on catching the car, looked back at Gu Zhidong, then shook his head and said, "I still have a little left."

His words made Gu Zhidong's heart happy, and he really wanted to drink a lot of water.

But the last words did send him to hell.

"Not now." The ox coachman took the bottle and filled it with water, and raised it in front of him.

Gu Zhidong was almost not angry with the ox coachman, and his face turned red with anger.

The ox coachman ignored Gu Zhidong's anger, turned around and continued to drive the car.

Just now he saw the disgust in the man's eyes, since he was disgusted, then why should he drink his own water.

So, he drank all the water and didn't want to give it to the man.

He was not afraid that the man would get out of the car and leave, so that this section would lose a single business.

Because he collects the money first and then carries it, you want to go, okay, unless you don't want the few pennies that have already been handed over.

Gu Zhidong, who was angry, could only stare there, now he couldn't eat anything, he just wanted to drink water.

Putting away the bun, he shielded his hand from the fierce sun above his head. He kept praying in his heart to be able to go to his in-laws' house as soon as possible, and while praying, he kept fantasizing about the taste of water.

When he was dying of thirst, the ox cart stopped.

"Momoka Village has arrived."

This voice was like a heavenly sound, so that after hearing it, he quickly cheered up and jumped off the ox cart and ran.

According to the memory in his head, Gu Zhidong found his sister's husband's house.

His brother-in-law's surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Acai. He is his second son in the family, and he has an eldest and sister-in-law. The boss is called Zhang Ade, and his mother-in-law is called Wang Ping, both of whom are not easy to mess with.

Below, there are these two younger sisters, but fortunately, they are already married.

When he came to their house, Gu Bendong walked in directly without knocking on the door.

This house is really good, it looks at least newer than my own home, stronger than my own home.

Gu Xiaomei, who was drying clothes in the courtyard, saw someone come in, and when she saw that it was her eldest brother, her face was full of surprise.

"Big brother, you're here, aren't you..."

Gu Anning also knew what she wanted to say, and then nodded.

"Xiaomei, let's not talk about it yet, you hurry up and pour me a bowl of water, I'm about to die of thirst."

Gu Zhidong didn't care about saying anything, now his mind was full of water, and he couldn't fit anything else out of the water.

Gu Xiaomei didn't expect this to be the first thing she said to her eldest brother here, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen and poured a bowl full of water for her eldest brother.

When he took the bowl of boiling water, Gu Zhidong buried his head and drank it.

"Yo, I think who's coming, it turns out to be the eldest brother of my younger brother and sister. However, the eldest brother of the Acai family, you still drink water like this in the big yard, if you let other people's families see it, they will think that our family has treated you badly. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Ping, the mother-in-law of the big house. Her mother's family is not bad, at least they are all blue brick houses, which are many times better than here.

So she has a lot of power to speak in this family, and she is also deeply loved by her mother-in-law. In this family, she is arrogant without any scruples.

Thinking that the distribution of family property in the future will be divided into two rooms, she also specifically aimed at the second room, but her mother-in-law didn't care, but helped herself to press the second room.

Now, she has no scruples about sarcastically sarcastically saying that her mother's family is not as good as her Gu Xiaomei and Gu Zhidong.

Gu Xiaomei's face was ugly, even Gu Zhidong, who had drunk a bowl of water, had the same face.

"Sister-in-law, you know it in your heart." Gu Xiaomei replied to her unconvinced.

"Ah Ping, who's coming?"

There was an old voice from inside the house, sounding like that of an old woman in her sixties.

Zhang Ping, who crossed his hands across his chest, heard this, glanced at the two people in the courtyard mockingly, and then replied: "Mother, it's Zhidong from the in-laws who is here."

Mrs. Zhang, who was in the room, heard this, stood up and walked out.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and this time I came suddenly, I don't know why.

However, no matter what he came here for, he would not let their family stick to his own house at all.

The three men of the Zhang family, who were working in the fields outside, all came back, surrounded by three children aged five to ten, all of whom were Gu Xiaomei's children, including two boys and one girl.

When they came in and saw Gu Zhidong standing in the courtyard, they all stood up in surprise.

The first to speak was Gu Xiaomei's husband Zhang Acai, "Uncle, why are you free?" ”

Gu Zhidong, who didn't have a good impression of their family, casually found an excuse and said perfunctorily: "There are some things at home that need to come to my little sister to go home."
