Chapter 34 The Woman Who Wears Books Don't Want to Die 34
"Gu Jiao, it's no good, your brother is gone."
After Gu Jiao and Fu Jinru finished talking, they went to the agreed place to find Gu Xiang, continued to wander around, and when the time was about the same, they went to the Cloud Embroidery Workshop to take the things stored there to the place where the ox cart was parked in the east of the town and waited for Uncle Zhao to come over.
"Jiaojiao, how do you buy so much rice noodles? Last time, when your uncle returned the rent to you, didn't he send food? Did you eat it so quickly? ”
Gu Xiang watched Gu Jiao stuff the entire back basket, and asked helplessly.
When Jinbao returned the things to Gu Jiao, she saw the whole thing.
After five years of rent, all the rent was returned, except for the converted five taels of silver, and about one stone of grain, Gu Jiao's family was only three people, two of whom were children, and it was impossible to eat it so quickly.
So seeing Gu Jiaoxin buying rice noodles at this time, Gu Xiang couldn't help asking.
After all, although Gu Jiao has a lot of money because Gu Jinbao changed the rent, in addition to repaying the debt, I am afraid that the money she has in hand is not enough for Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong to step forward, how can it be so wasted?
"I didn't finish eating."
Gu Jiao shook her head and tugged at the corners of her mouth.
It's not that she didn't finish eating, that stone of rice, except for the one on the noodles that is good, the rest is moldy, no matter how hungry she is, she doesn't dare to eat moldy rice for Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong!
"Then why do you still buy rice and noodles? Jiaojiao, although you now have more than a dozen acres of land, but these lands are planted by your uncle, he may not know when to give you the next rent, and you still want to provide Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong with education, as far as you have the money now, if you don't save a little, what should you do? ”
Gu Xiang said bitterly, she was anxious for Gu Jiao just thinking about it, she was still a child in the end, and there was no adult in the family to take care of it, so she just liked to spend this unjust money.
"Sister-in-law, I have a way to tie up the matter, besides, if we don't buy rice, we will be hungry again, Yaozu and Yaozong can't afford to be hungry anymore, let me tell you secretly, my uncle-the stone rice he gave us, except for a few catties on the surface, is good, and the rest is moldy rice."
Gu Jiao said this, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
In the end, she has too little knowledge to be pitted by Gu Jinbao's family!
"This ...... Why is this happening to your uncle? Jiaojiao, wait, I'll tell my grandfather about it when I go back, and ask him to give you an explanation. ”
When Gu Xiang heard the reason why Gu Jiao bought rice again, the whole person was angry, and she couldn't wait to go directly to Gu Jiao to ask for an explanation.
Thinking that it was so difficult for Gu Jinbao to return the rent, she silently swallowed the words on her lips and proposed.
"Sister-in-law, no need, there is no need to tell Grandpa Lizheng about this kind of trivial matter, and I am also careless, if I check it clearly before accepting it, it will not be like this...... The car is coming, we feel like let's get in the car, otherwise it will be difficult to get on in a while. ”
Gu Jiao suddenly pointed to the ox cart that Uncle Zhao was coming slowly, ending the topic.
"Jiaojiao, you're going to have to give you an extra copper plate when you get out of the car later, you know?"
Gu Xiang looked at the ox cart that was getting closer and closer, and then remembered that Gu Jiao might not know that the return fare was one copper plate more expensive than when she came, and hurriedly reminded.
"Well, I know, but sister-in-law, why do you feel a lot less people on the way back?"
Gu Jiao nodded, then looked around and asked.
When they came in the morning, there were about ten people, large and small, and the whole ox cart was full, but on the way back, she saw five or six people sparsely, almost half of them.
"Silly girl, do you think anyone can spend a day in town like us? Many people sell out in a hurry and walk back in a hurry. ”
While Gu Xiang was relieving Gu Jiao's confusion, Uncle Zhao's oxcart also came to them.
With the help of Uncle Zhao, the two of them successively moved things to the ox cart, and when everyone was settled, the ox cart started slowly......
"Gu Jiao, you're finally back, hurry up, come with me, your brother has an accident."
Gu Jiao sat on the ox cart, looking at the entrance of the village that had appeared in her eyes, and somehow, a trace of uneasiness floated in her heart.
After a while, Gu Sheng, the strongest man in the village, ran in front of them and said directly to Gu Jiao.
"Brother Dasheng, what happened to my brother?"
Uncle Zhao saw Gu Sheng running over, still calling Gu Jiao's name, and hurriedly stopped the ox cart, but before the car could stop, Gu Jiao jumped down directly, stumbling, if Gu Sheng hadn't held it in time, I was afraid that Gu Jiao would have fallen to the ground.
"Brother Dasheng, what do you mean, what's wrong with my brother?"
Gu Jiao stood firm with Gu Sheng's strength, and did not let go, directly followed Gu Sheng's action of helping her, grabbed Gu Sheng's hand, and asked again.
"Your brother is ...... He fell into the river, I don't know the specific situation, when a few of us knew, they divided into two ways, I came to find you back, my brother Dali has good water, so he went to the river to save people, you still hurry over to see, this time should still be by the river. ”
Gu Sheng said, he has a fast foot, so after hearing the gossip description of the group of children and knowing that Gu Yaozong fell into the river, his brothers immediately split into two ways.
"Okay, Brother Dasheng, thank you."
When Gu Jiao heard this, she nodded hurriedly, and even ignored the things in the car, and ran towards the village, Xu was too anxious, and she almost tripped over the roots on the ground before she ran two steps......
"Da Sheng, you hurry up and take a look, Gu Jiao is too anxious, I'm afraid she won't find the way, I'll send these things back first."
Gu Xiang couldn't ask in detail, so he urged Gu Sheng to go to Gu Jiao.
While chasing, he said: "Jiaojiao, don't run around, go to the east of the town under the big tree, let's sit together."
After receiving Gu Jiao's affirmative reply, Fu Jinru's heart finally relaxed.
Don't look at her as if she is holding the chance to win, her heart has always been full of uneasiness, after all, last time in Taoyuan Village, Gu Jiao's appearance of not leaving half of her face made them too impressed......
"Miss Fu, don't be busy yet, I haven't finished my sentence yet."
Now that it has been decided, Gu Jiao doesn't mind having some interests for herself under limited conditions, and it is best to solve Gu Jinbao's difficult relatives with Fu Jinru's hand.
"What else do you want to say?"
Fu Jinru asked with a frown, and her gaze at Gu Jiao was also a little more disgusted.
"Miss Fu, it's a deal, I haven't said anything you want me to do, how dare I do it? If Miss Gu asks me to do something hurtful, wouldn't I be too bad? ”
Gu Jiao said, and deliberately winked at Fu Jinru, her eyes were full of innocence.
"My request is very simple, I hope you can go to Lin Sheng's house to visit the Xie family, and invite her to visit Xuanguang Temple in three days."
Fu Jinru saw Gu Jiao's doubts on her face and said calmly.
Attack on the Lin Xie clan.
