Chapter 175: How Can a Big Man Let His Daughter-in-law Raise His Daughter-in-law?
Zuo Feng's face was not very good-looking throughout the next session.
Others didn't dare to look at his face, and Gu Ming didn't care what kind of face he posed at all.
Walking around Gujia Village and walking everywhere Gu Yu had lived, Zuo Feng pursed his lips and said, "Gu Yu doesn't live here now?" ”
The old village chief shook his head very embarrassedly, sighed and said, "I haven't seen anyone come back for a long time, I heard Ye Keran's mother say something before, saying that he followed his daughter-in-law to the county seat to open a shop." ”
When the old village chief talked about Gu Yu, he would unconsciously mention his capable daughter-in-law.
Zuo Feng squinted his eyes with a complicated expression after listening to it for a long time, and said with indescribable subtlety: "So, he is supported by his daughter-in-law?" ”
"He didn't do anything else himself?"
"What do you want him to do?"
Gu Ming glanced at him with a smile or not, and said lightly: "He was very capable before, but he couldn't see the light of day in what he did, could it be that you want him to continue to do that?" ”
"Is that what I said?"
Zuo Feng glanced at Gu Ming with a cold face, and said angrily: "Even if you go astray accidentally, you shouldn't let a girl keep it." ”
Listening to the meaning of the old village chief, the girl named Su Jin was only a teenager.
Such an older little girl, if she is placed in the home of the powerful in the capital, even if she is married and goes out, she has to be taken by the elders herself, and being able to help do some housekeeping work is already praised by everyone.
Such a little girl raises a big man, how much hardship does it have to endure? How can a big man do that?
Zuo Feng really couldn't accept the picture he imagined in his mind, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little more distorted.
Gu Ming knew at a glance that he was thinking crookedly, but he didn't bother to remind him, so he suddenly said when he left the village: "Old village chief." ”
"That wicked woman is not kind, and her hands are not good, Gu Yu has relied on the care of the villagers for many years, and I have kept these bits and pieces in my heart as Gu Yu's elders, thank you."
Gu Ming thanked him solemnly, and even Zuo Feng, who had been cold-faced, lowered his head slightly.
Gu Yu entered the martial arts hall to learn skills, and entered the gambling house to take the wrong path, these are all things that are a little older.
But before that, he lived in this village.
Mrs. Gu treats him harshly, and when a child of a few years old has nowhere to go hungry, there are always villagers who can't stand it will drag him into his house and stuff a bowl into his little hand.
If it weren't for the intentional or unintentional care of these villagers, it would be difficult for Gu Yu to grow up in Mrs. Gu's intentional indulgence and harsh treatment.
Seeing that the big man who was still talking about life and death not long ago thanked him seriously, the old village chief waved his hand flatteredly, and said again and again: "It's not worth it, it's just the work of the people in the village, not to mention that Gu Yu was still a baby when he was taken care of by the big guy, even if he was an adult, there would be times when someone couldn't see it." ”
"Besides, the bowl of rice that Gu Yu ate when he was a child was not eaten for nothing."
He seemed to feel a little embarrassed, touched the sparse beard on his chin and laughed a few times, and said with emotion: "Although that child was forced to take the wrong path when he grew up, he never harmed the neighbors, even in the years when there were natural disasters, the messy bastards outside were stealing everywhere, but he took that guy to protect him, and our Gujia Village was not affected at all." ”
"Even if the people in our village were wronged outside and there was injustice, it was Gu Yu who came back with people behind his back to seek justice, and if you put it carefully, it was more time when the people in the village couldn't stand him."
Gu Yu doesn't talk much, and Mrs. Gu and Gu Yun are both obedient and clever in front of people.
This person never opened his mouth to say what grievances he suffered, and he grinded day by day, and in the end everyone thought it was his fault, and he suffered a lot of spit and white eyes.
Even later, the people in the village didn't treat Gu Yu well.
Everyone was afraid of the work he did, and they hated that the money he earned was not clean, and even Gu Yu had a conflict with Gu Yun, obviously when Gu Yu was wronged, the patriarch still wanted to pressure Gu Yu to bow his head on the grounds of the overall situation.
With all these things in front of him, how dare the old village chief accept this thank-you calmly?
The old village chief felt ashamed, and couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
After hearing this, Zuo Feng rubbed his fingertips inexplicably, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you have kindness, you should repay the food you have eaten, everything is reasonable, and the old man doesn't have to mind." ”
Moreover, it is not easy for the people in the village to live, and it is already very difficult to give Xiao Gu Yu a bowl of rice to eat when it is difficult.
Gu Ming and Zuo Feng looked at each other and neither of them spoke, but not long after they walked out of the village, the man in black, who had been following Zuo Feng with a very weak sense of presence, walked towards the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village.
He first bowed deeply to the old village chief and patriarch respectfully, and said unhurriedly before the old village chief stretched out his hand to help him: "Old man, although you are not trying to repay your kindness, but you and many villagers in the village have helped the young master of my family, so you must remember." ”
He took out an envelope that looked bulging and handed it to the village chief with both hands, and said softly: "This is a little bit of the heart of my master, you can take it and share it with the person mentioned above, and it will be regarded as a thank you for the favor of my young master back then." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old village chief pinched the thick envelope in his hand and didn't think of saying anything, and the person who left the envelope had already quickly turned over and ran away.
Looking at the horses running away, an impatient uncle coughed a few times anxiously, looked at the envelope in the old village chief's hand on tiptoe, and said strangely: "Village chief, open it and see what is in this place?" ”
"It looks a little thin, and it doesn't look like silver was stuffed into it!"
"Yes, this looks like it has nothing to do with silver, so what did the man mean by what he said sourly just now? Could it be that you just wrote a thank you note? ”
"you, how many of us in our village are literate? Who can read a thank you letter when someone writes it? ”
and his brain turned quickly with indescribable chagrin, beating his chest and sighing: "You said that so many people came here today, they all came to find Gu Yu, and they kept saying that Gu Yu was the young master of his family, why didn't anyone see that Gu Yu's kid was different from the black egg baby in the village?" ”
"If I had seen it earlier, let alone give him a bowl of rice to eat, I would have been willing to give him the meat in my bowl!"
"Hahaha!"
Aunt Wang leaned on her waist and laughed loudly, and said with an undisguised mockery: "Lai Mazi, you are embarrassed to say that you will give him meat to eat, and you will start bragging?" ”
"Hey, that's not what I said, I ......"
"Oh my God!"
An exclamation that almost broke his throat sounded from the village chief's side, and the old village chief's hand trembled so hard that he almost couldn't even hold the thing in his hand.
Gu Laoer, who screamed out, was so shocked that he looked like he had seen a ghost in the daytime, and he trembled and pointed to the things in the old village chief's hand and said, "This is a silver ticket!" It's all one hundred and one silver tickets! ”
One hundred taels of silver tickets, there is a thick stack here, how much silver does this have!
Few people in the village had ever seen a silver ticket, but even if they didn't know it, the number they heard could make people's hearts beat wildly.
For the first time in his life, the old village chief held so much money that before he could say a word, he was so nervous that the corners of his forehead sweated.
He trembled and dipped a little spit on his fingers under the gaze of countless eyes, counted the silver tickets in his hand, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
"Three...... Three thousand taels! ”
"There are three thousand taels of silver here!"
Three thousand taels of silver, for the wealthy families in Beijing, may be just a pound of tea and a few sets of women's head jewelry.
But for the people in the village, this is a huge amount of money that their ancestors have never seen for generations.
For a moment, everyone forgot to speak, but stared at the village chief's hand with burning eyes.
Gu Lao Er sniffed hard and said in a loud voice: "Village Chief, this silver is said to be distributed to the people of our village, so if it is ......?"
"People are saying that they will be divided according to the people mentioned in the letter, not that everyone will be given points!"
The village chief glanced at Gu Laoer, who was angry and even wanted to stretch out his hand directly, and said angrily: "Do you still have some rules?" You dare to ask for anyone's silver, why don't you want to think of the greedy Wu Chun now! You're not afraid that the outstretched claws will be broken and you won't be able to take them back! ”
The example given by the village chief was not long ago in front of me, and it was too vivid and impressive.
Gu Lao Er, who was originally anxious to divide the silver, thought of the bloodstains at the door of Gu Yun's house, and immediately inhaled cold air and retracted his hand.
Gu Yu himself is not good, and the family members who came to him are not good.
If you take the money you shouldn't have, if you lose your life at any time, there is no place to reason!
