"What truth?" Gu Huaian looked at her confusedly.

"Then Aunt Cai introduced you to the errand of the kitchen handyman in a restaurant, you don't know, how dark the shopkeeper of this restaurant is, he negotiated the salary with others in advance, but when it was issued, something happened, looking for all kinds of reasons to deduct the salary, there is a handyman is because the shopkeeper is too black-hearted, so he doesn't do it there, Aunt Cai wants to stuff you in, just want to top this person's shortage."

Gu Changning felt embarrassed when he thought of this, and said with a very dissatisfied face: "If it weren't for Aunt Wang coming to our house to visit A-Niang, and she happened to learn the truth of this matter, and said to A-Niang that she would know, A-Niang would not have refused so simply!" ”

No matter what you say, you all live in the same village, and the villagers usually don't say it too absolutely, so as not to regret it in the future.

Gu Changning also wanted to thank Wang Xiu'e for coming to his house that day, so that A-Niang would reject Aunt Cai so neatly and didn't let her continue to entangle.

"So that's the case......" Gu Huai'an heard the truth of the matter at this moment, and nodded thoughtfully and said.

"It's good that you know about this matter, anyway, A-Niang has already refused, Aunt Cai is afraid that she will not come to the door again to bring up the old things, brother, don't take it to heart."

Gu Changning thought that if he explained this matter clearly, his brother would not care about it.

It's just that when she saw that her brother still had a solemn look on his face, she immediately tilted her head and wondered: "Brother, what kind of expression is this, do you still want to give up studying and go out to find a job?" ”

My brother's expression looked very serious at the moment.

Gu Huai'an came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, since I have already decided to take the meritorious examination, I will no longer hesitate in this matter, I am just, a little worried......"

"Worried about what?"

Gu Huai'an didn't know if he could tell his sister about the incident he had just learned, he was very confused now, and the bad feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

He thought about it, if this matter continues like this, A-Niang and his sister will have to know sooner or later.

I know from others that it's better to say it first, at least he won't talk nonsense like others.

Thinking of this, Gu Huai'an opened his mouth and said: "On the way back, I met a group of aunts, and they told me something......

Gu Changning listened to the voice of his brother in his ears, but his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist with the content of the words, his expression was tense, his face was gloomy, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

She was originally thinking about how to solve this matter, but now that she heard her brother say it, she knew that the people who were probably fueling the trouble couldn't wait, so she stepped up her propaganda, just to completely destroy her brother.

Gao, Li Niangzi, no matter which of you two did this, I will never let you hurt my brother!

“…… Ningning, Ningning? Gu Huai'an saw that her sister lowered her eyes, and was in a daze without saying a word, and stopped halfway through speaking, thinking that her sister was frightened by this incident, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this matter, don't worry about it, don't worry about leaving it to my brother to deal with." ”

"What is my brother's plan for this?" Who knew that at this time, Gu Changning suddenly raised his head and looked at him seriously.

She has come up with a solution these days, that is, she may have to work hard for her brother and A-Niang to act.

But if my brother had a better way to solve it, she wouldn't be needed.

"Plans? Just, buy medicine for A-Niang......" Gu Huai'an was stunned by his sister's question, and said with a slight hesitation.

"Buying medicine? Yes, if we buy medicine, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating, but brother, have you thought about it, let's compromise this time, the other party will catch our handle, what should we do next time? Do we continue to do what the man wants? ”

Gu Changning was very speechless in his heart, it turned out that his brother's so-called him was to deal with it, just to follow the other party's wishes?

"This ...... How do you know it's man-made? Gu Huaian looked at his sister in shock, his face full of incredulity.

He only had suspicions, but because there was no evidence, he couldn't confirm whether it was Li Niangzi who inadvertently said this incident that caused a large area to spread or whether someone wanted to suppress their family by taking advantage of this matter.

Now he heard that his sister didn't say a word and thought it was artificial, of course he was very surprised.

"I guessed......" Gu Changning didn't seem to see the suspicious look on his brother's face, and said with a natural face, "When Aunt Cai came to our house to introduce the work of kitchen handymen, there was no one else, only me, A-Niang and Aunt Cai, oh, and Aunt Wang knew about it, and now that it has been passed out, I and A-Niang will definitely not talk nonsense, and Aunt Wang will definitely not say anything about the inside of the restaurant, then it can only be someone else, I guess, someone learned about it from Aunt Cai, and then deliberately spread it in the village." ”

"I believe that you and A-Niang and Aunt Wang will not say this, but why don't you suspect that Aunt Cai said it? What if she was angry because A-Niang refused at that time, and deliberately said it? Gu Huai'an looked at his sister curiously.

There are only four people in total, and three of them will be kept strictly secret, and isn't the remaining one the most suspicious?

"If Aunt Cai was annoyed and angry and resentful after being rejected by A-Niang at that time, why did she say it after many months?" Gu Changning asked rhetorically.

Aunt Cai's reflex arc isn't so long, right?

What made her angry didn't she say it right away, and waited for months to react?

If it is said that Aunt Cai deliberately suppressed this topic, and when she found the opportunity, she would come to give their family a heavy blow, Gu Changning felt that Aunt Cai could not have that mind and could not do such a scheming and calculating thing.

Gu Huai'an felt that it was the same, nodded in agreement, and said, "Since you said that someone was making trouble behind your back, then you guessed the person who did this?" ”

"Well, I have two candidates in mind, one is my stepgrandmother and the other is Mrs. Li...... Actually, I suspect that both of them have a share! ”

Gu Huai'an was not surprised by this: "I guess too." ”

Not to mention anything else, only she and their family knew about the refusal of Mrs. Li to deliver medicine to the door, how could the people of her family spread such a thing, so it could only be said by Mrs. Li.

Maybe Mrs. Li just wanted to teach them a lesson, let their family know that they were afraid, and then succumb to the rumors and obediently send them silver taels.

But the story has passed down to the present, and it is clear that it has gone too far.

Gu Huai'an boldly guessed that it should be the step-grandmother's family who heard some gossip, and it happened that the step-grandmother had failed to provoke trouble with the patriarch's uncle before, so she came up with this plan in anger and wanted to ruin his imperial examination road.

Stepgrandma has always been a person who knows how to make trade-offs.

She didn't want to use this method to destroy Gu Huai'an before, because once he passed the exam, it would also help his family.

In addition, there are still people from the Gu clan in Xinghua Village, and they will not let the Gao family do such a thing.

Therefore, he was able to study peacefully for a few years without being influenced by Gao.

Now she can't care about so much under her resentment, and only thinks about giving their house some color, so that she will promote the spread of rumors behind her back.

The situation Gu Huai'an is facing now is very serious.

If he still wants to study, his family will have to be restrained by Dr. Li's family, and continue to buy their medicine, in order to be seen as "filial piety" by the villagers.

Even if they want to change doctors, they can't do it, because Mrs. Li still lives in the village, and she can always find an opportunity to slander his reputation outside.

It is said that a thief has been a thief for a thousand years, but how can there be a thief for a thousand years.

That mouth grows on herself, and she doesn't rely on her to flip that tongue to arrange people randomly.

But if he didn't buy Dr. Li's medicine, he would let everyone continue to slander his reputation, and no one outside had any contact with Gu Huai'an, so he didn't know what kind of person he was.

If this continues, everyone will follow suit, but I'm afraid that if it's not true, it will become true.

Gu Huaian frowned, looked at his sister and said, "In this matter, why don't I go to the patriarch's uncle for help?" ”

Gu Huai'an is still the heir of the Gu family, Gu Yuan, as the patriarch, shouldn't watch him being wronged by others, right?

"Brother, do you have any proof?" Gu Changning asked.

"What evidence?"

"Evidence to prove that this matter has something to do with grandma."

“…… No. Gu Huai'an's voice dropped several degrees.

"That's it, without evidence, we can't prove that this matter is a ghost for stepgrandma, and if we insist on detaining this crime on her, we are also guilty of unfilial piety." Gu Changning's dark eyes contained a trace of anger, and he tried his best to restrain his emotions and tensed his jaw and said, "Either you will come up with evidence to prove her, or you can't go to the patriarch and uncle to come forward." ”

"This thing...... Can we just let it go on like this? Gu Huai'an clenched his fists, and he was unwilling.

He could already imagine what he would do.

"Of course not." Gu Changning narrowed his eyes and said calmly in a tone that didn't belong to her age, "Since stepgrandma wants to play yin with us, then let's come too!" ”

Gu Huai'an looked at her in surprise and said in a daze: "What do you want to do?" ”

Gu Changning forcibly held back the roaring anger in his heart, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he said coldly: "This time, I must let them have some blood!" ”

Gu Huai'an was shocked and shouted: "Ning Ning! ”

Gu Changning heard this sentence in a somewhat sharp tone, glanced at his brother, saw that he was panicked, and explained to him: "Don't worry, brother, when I say bleeding, I don't really want them to bleed, but to let them know the pain!" ”

Gu Huai'an looked at his sister who seemed to be a different person for a moment, moved his lips, and didn't say anything for a long time.

My sister is angry...... It's still slightly scary.

Gu Changning noticed her brother's silence at this time, she glanced at him puzzled, and said, "Brother, why did you suddenly become so quiet?" ”
