Chapter 31: The Godson

Smart is smart, but in the end, it is a child, and I can't think of it so thoroughly.

Su Mo slowed down and told him about tonight's events little by little.

"To be a person and do things, you need to take one step at a time, ten steps and adapt to the situation.

A few of our mothers are in the village, helpless.

The Wang family has four children, and the Wang family is looking forward to the light, so they are naturally looking forward to them.

If the enemy is strong and I am weak, if I tear my face directly, I will threaten to ask for twenty-one taels of silver.

Let's not say that they don't agree with each other, if it spreads, this reputation will not be good, and life in the village will not be easy in the future.

It's better to pretend to be aggrieved, say it pitiful, shed two tears, it's harmless, but it can make them who value face the most unbearable and take the initiative to increase the price.

It seems to be a concession, but in fact, it grasps their weaknesses.

And the Wang family already has an old enmity with me, and he is a money-hungry person, so he will definitely be impulsive.

This person is impulsive and prone to make mistakes, and then I take the opportunity to catch the mistake and kill it with one blow.

It's like hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, you know? ”

Gu Jinnian nodded as if he didn't understand.

Su Mo continued: "The future career of the four children of the Wang family is the most important thing for the Wang family.

I threatened them with this, and they had to retreat, and then they took the opportunity to tell their real demands.

Twenty-one taels and five coins is not much for the Wang family.

If they grit their teeth, they can squeeze it out, but they don't want to do it in their hearts, after all, they are being coerced.

But I am in charge of this matter, and many women in the village can testify to me, so no matter how much they feel that they should respond, they can only respond.

This is how you behave, you stand on the moral high ground, and at the same time grasp everything that is beneficial to you, even if you are deep in the mud, you can get out of it.

As for the fields, our family will have to live in the village in the future, and the Wang family will not be offended to death.

The four children of the Wang family will be admitted to Xiucai, if they really do too much, we will be in trouble in the future.

If the enemy is weak and I am strong, then we must act ruthlessly, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots.

However, if the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must act steadily and leave a line of life for ourselves.

If you want to be treated fairly, you have to make yourself stronger, so that they are afraid of you and don't dare to make ......."

As he spoke, Su Mo hooked his lips and smiled, and said meaningfully: "Of course, who said that this field can't grow crops..."

Gu Jinnian listened too much at once, and was a little confused, and when Su Mo's last sentence came into his ears, he suddenly raised his head.

"But no one has ever grown crops?"

Su Mo stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard, gently pushed the courtyard door open, and then turned his head and looked at Gu Jinnian:

"Then let me ask you, when was the last time the village planted crops?"

Gu Jinnian thought about it and shook his head, he only knew that he had never seen anyone in the village go to the ground.

Su Mo didn't feel that it was wrong for her to fool the child, and she said very seriously: "When I came here, those lands were deserted.

After all these years, no one has ever tried it again, and even if that is the case, how can you be sure that those fields will not grow anything? ”

The Chen and Wang families were originally from Chongqing, but 30 years ago, they left their homeland due to wars in various places, and went all the way east, until they fled to the beach and found that they could no longer move forward, so they picked a vacant land to settle down.

After the establishment of the Dayong Dynasty, officials came to register the population, and when they saw that there were people living here, they divided the land boundary, set up Luoshan Village, and divided the nearby fields to them.

At the beginning, everyone was very happy, and having land and land was really taking root.

But the next year, I planted crops in the field and worked hard for a year, but there was no harvest.

The big guys are panicking, how can they live if they can't grow anything in this land?

Yuzhou Mansion is surrounded by mountains, and they don't know anything about the calm sea, but they go up to the mountains to hunt, but the wild beasts are not hunted, but several people die.

The Wang family is not very panicked because of a talented man, but the Chen family is different.

Fortunately, at the end of autumn, Gu Jingting (Gu Dalang's father) and Ning Nanqing (Gu Dalang's mother) appeared near Luoshan Village with Gu Dalang, who was more than a year old.

Chen Yongwen, who was only in his thirties at the time and was not yet the village chief, discovered the two, invited them to his home, and invited them to dinner.

Chen Yongwen's father, the previous village chief, said that if he wanted to stay, the villagers could help build a house.

Gu Jingting was very grateful, and in return, he told everyone that they could go out to sea to fish for a living, and taught them to swim, make fishing boats, and weave fishing nets.

After the boat was ready, Gu Jingting took Chen Yongwen to sea.

When they came back, there were fish on the whole boat that they had never seen before, and Gu Jingting and Chen Yongwen took the fish to the county seat and bought three taels of silver.

Since then, the people of the village have made a living by going out to sea to fish.

As for the fields, no one planted them anymore.

"That'...... So what if you still can't grow it? ”

Gu Jinnian also raised his head, his dark eyes staring at Su Mo tightly.

"Then you can't grow it, anyway, that's the worst."

Gu Jinnian's eyes widened, he wanted to say something, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't say anything after all.

Su Mo raised his feet and entered the courtyard.

Gu Jinnian walked in in a daze, Su Mo closed the door, bolted it, and then went to the kitchen to fetch water and take a bath.

When she walked to the kitchen door, she turned around and told Gu Jinnian: "It's not early, go back to the room and sleep, move gently, don't wake up your sister." ”

Gu Jinnian nodded stunned.

The hole in the wall of the bedroom had not yet been filled, and the slightest ray of moonlight penetrated and spilled on the ground.

Gu Jinnian took off his shoes, lay on the bamboo bed, looked at the hole in the wall, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"If the enemy is weak, I am strong, we must act ruthlessly, and if the enemy is strong and I am weak, we must act steadily......

If you want to be treated fairly, you have to make yourself stronger......"

He murmured, taking the words to heart.

Many years later, Gu Jinnian squeezed into the court, and was regarded as a confidant by the new emperor, and acted decisively and ruthlessly.

If he comes to the door, he will copy his house, even his own family.

The powerful people in Beijing avoided him, and they didn't even dare to read his name directly, and they all called him ...... Cold-faced Yama.

Of course, that's a later story, so let's not show it for the time being.

Gu Jinnian was being attacked by drowsiness, he turned around, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Su Mo got up, busy with breakfast, and shouted to the three children to get up.

I took six taels of cash from Mrs. Wang last night, but I don't have to worry about the expenses of these days.

After waiting for the deed to be completed, he went to the state capital and sold the things stored in the trust system.

While thinking about it in my heart, the village chief appeared at the gate of the courtyard, still holding something for measurement in his hand.

"The village chief is here?

It's time for breakfast, so come in and have some together, right? ”

Su Mo went out, and the three children had just washed up and came out of the kitchen, and when they saw people, they shouted: "Grandpa the village chief." ”

"No, I've already eaten it."

The village chief shook his head and stood in the doorway with his cane.

"That's right, if you go after noon, you have to get it the next day, but if you go at noon, you can get it on the same day.

On their side of the far sea, I have already said hello and asked them to wait for a while.

If it's convenient for you, let's go and measure the wasteland first, and get the title deed down as soon as possible. ”

The village chief also considered for Su Mo, he couldn't go to the mountains, he couldn't plant the fields, and the expenses of a family of four people were enough, and six taels of silver was enough, but he couldn't keep eating his old book, right?

After the land deed is done, the Su family will have land, and if they can really grow live watermelons, the family will also have an income.

"Convenient, convenient ......"

Su Mo hurriedly responded, turned around and told Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian to take care of his sister, and walked outside.

"I can't hide it, I'm in a hurry......"
