Chapter Eighty-Five: The Old Lady's Mysterious Backer

Aunt Wang likes to talk and watch the excitement, but her cooking skills are not bad.

She took the money and was kind, using the tofu she bought and fresh fish, and stewed a big pot directly for Su Jin, and when Su Jin entered the door, she stuffed the dishes and chopsticks into her hands.

After eating, Su Jin didn't take the rest of the fish away, and Aunt Wang's little grandson pulled the bowl and ate a noodle with red mouth oil, which made Aunt Wang a little embarrassed.

She rubbed her hands and said, "This was originally a dish that Gu Yu added with silver, but you didn't eat much, so you let this bastard eat it, isn't this taking advantage of you and Gu Yu?" ”

"Sit down and don't be in a hurry to go, my old man went to the mountains to pick some wild hawthorn before, I'm afraid I won't be able to let it go and take it to dry, I'll collect a little for you and take it back to eat."

Su Jin was full and held a small cloth bag full of dried hawthorn, and he was amused for a while and was embarrassed to leave immediately.

Aunt Wang chewed the red hawthorn so dry and sour that she kept wrinkling her face, and kicked her little grandson out to play with a round belly, and turned her head and said mysteriously: "By the way, what did Gu Yu say in the end?" ”

"Did the people of the old Gu family still leave a trick to embarrass you?"

Before Su Jin answered, she immediately said with a disgusted face: "Few of those people in the old Gu family are good, even if they are not embarrassed now, they are afraid that they will have to make trouble in the future, you and Gu Yu are still more vigilant, and you don't know how powerful it is when someone digs a pit." ”

Su Jin rarely had the same idea as her, and nodded in agreement.

"I think you're right."

She also felt that the so-called elders of the Gu family could not be so settled.

got accommodated, and Aunt Wang was even more energetic.

"And your old woman, you have to be on guard against her."

She pointed to the top of her head indescribably, and said carefully: "Don't look at that old woman, she just has a loud voice and doesn't seem to have two brushes, she seems to know some terrible way, and she has a backer!" ”

These words greatly surprised Su Jin's expectations.

She raised her eyebrows in disbelief: "Backer? ”

"You're saying that my old woman still has the backing of unknown big people?"

Isn't she just an old lady from the village?

Why did you still pull out the backers?

Seeing that Su Jin didn't believe it, Aunt Wang threw the half-bitten dried hawthorn to the side in disgust, covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Oh, can I lie to you about this kind of thing?" ”

"Don't look at me as a foreigner, but there's nothing I don't know about this Gujia Village!"

"I heard that when your old woman was seven or eight years old, there was a famine at home, and she was dragged out by her mother to sell, and it seemed to be sold quite far, and finally she became a relative to your dead husband and had a baby, so she came to Gujia Village with her, and she didn't go out of the village again."

"But there is an old saying that the watchdog of a rich family is more expensive than the farmer, and this person has been in the mansion for so many years, what is so strange about finding a backer?"

Xu was afraid that Su Jin would not believe it, and Aunt Wang said in a matter-of-fact manner: "When I first heard about it, I only told jokes when people chewed my tongue and told me, but ten years ago, Gu Yu and his father killed someone outside, and the people from the yamen came to arrest him, and everyone said that this old thing would definitely be beheaded, but who knew that your old woman entered the city and didn't know how to make it, and in the end your husband was sent back by the people of the yamen!" ”

"The people in the yamen have said that this old lady has the support of nobles, and the county magistrate can't afford to offend, and the last life lawsuit is so lightly wiped out, isn't this a backer?"

As if recalling the scene that shocked herself, Aunt Wang said with sighing eyes: "You said that they are all from the village, and they don't see anyone when they look up and look down, no one is an egg in the golden nest, and no one is rarer than anyone else, but who would have thought that such an inconspicuous old woman would have such a way?" ”

It stands to reason that not many people remember what happened more than ten years ago.

But Aunt Wang still remembers it vividly.

"Since then, the old people in the village know that your old woman can't be messed with, otherwise she may be in trouble at some point, or why do you think the people in the village let her dare not worry about her?"

"Then where are you afraid of her, you are obviously afraid of the backer behind her!"

"But the wicked have evil retribution, although your old woman used a way to get people out, but it didn't take long for your husband to die of illness in bed, and since then it has been completely your old woman in charge."

Aunt Wang patted Su Jin's shoulder with mixed feelings, sighed and said, "You didn't have a good time." ”

"Your old woman is arrogant and unreasonable, but your dead husband is not bad, if he hadn't been good to Gu Yu when he was alive, Gu Yu probably wouldn't have lived so much."

Su Jin ignored the emotion in Aunt Wang'er's words, but suddenly said after being silent for a long time: "Do you know which big family my mother-in-law was an errand boy in when she was young? ”

Aunt Wang furrowed her eyebrows in embarrassment, and after thinking for a long time, she didn't remember what the root of her tongue was that she chewed many years ago.

Just as Su Jin was about to get up to say goodbye, she suddenly patted her thigh and said, "I can't remember the specifics, but I heard people say that it seems to be a Hou...... Hou Mansion is coming? ”

"Anyway, it's a big official family, otherwise the county master can't give her a bad old woman's face!"

Princes and dukes, either power or nobility.

If Mrs. Gu really worked as an errand in a certain Hou Mansion, and she also gained the dignity of the nobles of the Hou Mansion, and kept this dignity for many years later, with this dignity, the county magistrate in a county town would indeed have to give face when he saw it.

A white light flashed in Su Jin's mind, and he suddenly understood the deep meaning of Aunt Wang's chewing with her.

Aunt Wang squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't say that I told you. ”

"I talk to you more, I just want to remind you, in case this old lady's love many years ago is still useful, the backer she is looking for is definitely something you and Gu Yu can't afford to offend, it's really not okay, you can persuade Gu Yu more, don't have a hard time with this unreasonable old woman."

"This human life lawsuit can be erased with dignity, ordinary people can't hide, where can they afford to provoke it?"

If it weren't for Su Jin spending money to eat so many meals at his own house and giving himself an extra income, Aunt Wang would not have opened this mouth for fear of causing trouble.

Su Jin was grateful for her reminder, blinked very sensibly, and said with a smile: "I didn't hear what you said." ”

"When Gu Yu comes back, I will send you a piece of the dim sum he brought back, which will be regarded as a thank you gift for accompanying me to kowtow."

Hearing this, Aunt Wang finally put her hanging heart back into her stomach, and sent Su Jin out of the gate with a smile on her face full of wrinkles.

Su Jin returned to the room full of embroidery threads, and Aunt Wang'er's words echoed in his ears, and an indelible irritability jumped uncontrollably in his heart.

If Aunt Wang said that there was indeed something to do, then in this small village, Mrs. Gu did have the confidence that ordinary people could not afford.

She was able to go to the yamen many years ago to wipe out the lawsuit for her life, can she also use this dignity to embarrass Gu Yu and give Gu Yun a future?

The county magistrate has to give her face, so don't those teaching gentlemen in Qingcheng Academy dare not offend?

Although he couldn't guess why the old lady didn't use it earlier if she had such confidence, when she thought that Gu Yu might be treated more unfairly if she went to the academy to seek justice, Su Jin couldn't sit still at home.

She quickly packed up the things she wanted to bring, lit a few more candles at night and hurried to do some work, and when the sky was about to dawn the next day, she took her small baggage and prepared to go out to find Gu Yu.

The fog had not cleared in the morning, and the sun had not yet risen when we reached the entrance of the village.

Su Jin patiently stood at the entrance of the village and waited for the mule cart, but after waiting for a while, the mule cart did not arrive, and it was the carriage that arrived first.

Ye Keran sat on the frame, hurriedly stopped the car, looked at Su Jin who was standing on the side of the road with a blushing face, and stammered, "Gu ...... Gu Jia's second ...... Second sister-in-law, are you going out? ”

Su Jin looked at Ye Keran suspiciously, and inevitably thought: The young man looks so decent, he is actually a stammer?
