"Auntie, you still leave such good conditions to my cousin Osmanthus, my father is a talent, and my younger brother will also gain fame in the future, I can't let them have a sister who is a slave, and I can't let my younger brothers be criticized because of me in the future."

Gu Jiao refused on the pretext of her two younger brothers who had not yet grown up, she was weak and weak at this time, and it was not yet time for her to refuse forcefully!

"Meritorious service? Jiaojiao, it's not that the eldest aunt said you, look at your house, you don't even have a decent piece of furniture, and even eating every day is a problem, do you think that your family Yaozu Yaozong is called this name, and you can really Yaozu Yaozong? Then you have to have this life, right? We have to be real, and we can't think about things that shouldn't be thought! ”

Gu Lin said to Gu Jiao with a serious look, but his words were full of disdain for Gu Jiao and the others.

In fact, Gu Lin was also depressed, in her opinion, Gu Jiao's promise to sign a deed of sale to go to the Fu family as a maid was a sure thing, but the result made her unbelievable.

Gu Jiao actually refused directly? I refused without even hesitation!

Gu Lin's family had carefully observed before coming over, and after Gu Jiao's family finished Gu Xiucai's funeral, they hadn't fired for two days.

What does this mean? It means that they have not eaten for at least two days.

And a person who can't even eat, and has two five-year-old brothers at home, can be indifferent to five taels of silver and refuse without thinking about it?

This is five taels of silver, which is enough for their family to eat, drink and chew for a year, Gu Jiao actually refused without thinking about it?

"Auntie, I respect you as an elder, that's why I call you Auntie."

Gu Jiao paused when she said this, and then said: "My father is a Xiucai, not my Gu Jiaotuo, the entire Taoyuan Village, at present, there is only one Xiucai in my father, my two younger brothers, although they are young, they are talented, as long as they can continue to study, I believe they will be able to gain fame in the future!" ”

Gu Jiao's words were sonorous and powerful, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

She had just taken office, and she directly regarded herself as the sister of those two little ghosts, and now when she heard that Gu Lin's disapproval of them was not optimistic, the anger in her heart skyrocketed, and she couldn't speak directly.

Don't look at what she says in her mouth, as if she is optimistic about Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong.

In fact, she didn't have any confidence at all in her heart, and the so-called merit test was just an excuse to perfunctory Gu Lin's family.

As a result, this casual perfunctory words blurted out when she heard Gu Lin sing her brother in front of her.

Yes, younger brother, Queen Gu, who was alone in the last days, accepted her current identity with a good attitude after only half an hour of coming to this time, and accepted the relatives of Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong as ordered.

"Jiaojiao, being a human being and other realities, do you think your father's show fell from the sky? That's our old Gu family smashed the pot and sold iron, in order to provide for your father to study, our whole family eats bran vegetables, and the grass roots don't know how much to chew, just to save food and sell money to your father, we have done our best to provide only for your father, but now you tell me that your family is going to test for fame? You're afraid you're not dreaming."

Gu Lin once again mentioned how hard they had worked to turn Gu Zhaocai into a showman, and Gu Jiao'er didn't want it anymore.

Since Gu Zhaocai became a showman, these words can be heard several times a day on average, and the original owner has heard them badly, but he didn't expect that Gu Lin's people haven't said it badly.

"Whether I'm dreaming or laughing, since the eldest aunt is not optimistic, I don't force it."

Gu Jiao didn't even look at Gu Lin's eyes, for this culprit who sent the original owner to the Fu family, she really couldn't give any good face, and it was enough for her to be able to maintain a superficial peace and quiet!

"Gu Jiao, this is not something I don't look down on, it's not a simple matter to test your fame, don't open your mouth, in the end, everything has to come out of our family!"

Gu Lin's family doesn't care if Gu Yaozu and Gu Yaozong take the test for fame, what she cares about is that after the fact that these two people want to test their fame is publicized, taking care of the Jiao family can't even eat now, won't these things have to fall on their family in the future?

Even if they are unwilling, they have to show their posture under the eyes of the whole village......

"Uncle also knows about our family's situation? In this case, I will also say it bluntly, I hope you and Uncle go back to prepare the rent you owe to my family over the years, and send the rent before tomorrow, otherwise I will find Li Zheng to make decisions for our three sisters and brothers, after all, my brother still has to settle accounts, and my father has a conscience enough to rent the land to you at a low price over the years! ”

What Gu's father couldn't say because of face, Gu Jiaoquan said.

Before his death, Gu's father remembered that Uncle Gu had paid for him to study, so after renting fifteen acres of land to Uncle Gu at a low price, even if he was so sick that he couldn't even afford to take medicine, when Uncle Gu was supposed to pay the rent, he had no money, and Gu's father only symbolically asked Uncle Gu to owe an IOU.

These things were engraved in the memory of the original owner early on, and Gu Jiao could see that the original owner did not have much affection for Uncle Gu's family who lived in a bluestone tile house, and even when she saw her crumbling thatched house, she was disgusted with this family.

It's just that the original owner is used to being cowardly, and he dares to be angry about Gu's father's decision, so he can only watch Gu Jinbao's family live more and more nourishing, and in addition to not having enough to eat every day, in order not to worry them, their father will have to endure coughing until midnight in the coming year......

So at this time, she directly gave the original owner this tone because of the rent, and by the way, she made a plan in advance for the short-term rations of the three of them.

"Gu Jiao, don't forget that your father can become a showman, and he can buy these lands because of us, without us, your father will only be a mud leg, can he easily buy so much land? This is what your father owes us, and you are embarrassed to let us pay the rent? Believe it or not, don't want your reputation, don't even want the reputation of your family's ancestors! ”

Gu Lin didn't expect that Gu Jiao would directly say that they wanted to rent.

Or all the rents that should be paid to the Gu family in the past five years!

In Gu Lin's hard work, the fifteen acres of land that their family is cultivating now have long been regarded as their own, not to mention rent, and she is not even willing to give Gu Jiao a catty of food.

Because this is her family's land, these grains are grown by them with hard work, how can it be cheap, Gu Jiao's family doesn't dare to do anything?

"Auntie, do you think that this matter has spread out, you and Uncle have forcibly occupied the land of our three sisters and brothers, and they have signed the notes in black and white and do not admit it, these things are spread, whose reputation will be worse? I advise you to go back and discuss it with my uncle, so that you don't have to make a decision that you regret. ”

Fame? What is that? Can you eat it? Can it solve their current predicament?
