After Gu Yunjie finished drying her clothes, she was about to go home, and saw that Liu Yuehong had been looking at her, looking like she wanted to step forward but didn't dare to step forward.

"Something?" She raised an eyebrow.

Liu Yuehong boldly took a few steps forward, looked around, made sure that no one around was looking at her, and whispered to Gu Yunjie: "Xiaojie, I want to tell you something, go to your house and talk about it." ”

Gu Yunjie glanced at her.

She was not very familiar with the girl in front of her.

met the other party's worried eyes and nodded: "Come in." ”

Liu Yuehong sat opposite Gu Yunjie nervously, thinking about whether to open this mouth, but if she didn't say it, she was afraid that she wouldn't have a chance to say it in the future.

"What do you want to say to me?"

"Xiaojie, I also bullied you with them once before, so I apologize to you first." Liu Yuehong didn't know where her hands were there, and kept twisting the corners of her skirt on one side: "This matter, I want to think about it, only you can say it, except for you, I don't know who to tell it, because they are all afraid of Grandpa Lizheng." ”

Liu Yuehong's voice was crying.

"Last night, I heard Li Zheng say to my father and mother that he wanted to give me to some son in the county town as a concubine. I have a lot of children in my family, and if my father and mother want to sell me to others as a concubine, I can't say anything. ”

"Then what do you want me to do when you tell me this?"

"I don't know, I don't even know who that person is, and if you ask for help, I won't be able to find out anything. I just think that if I really leave here, I am afraid that it will not be easy to come back in the future. ”

She also has three younger sisters underneath her. After giving birth to four daughters in a row, my father gave birth to a younger brother, and in their hearts, the son is the most important thing.

"What did Rimasa introduce?" Gu Yunjie intuitively felt that there was something going on.

"If it weren't for Grandpa Lizheng's introduction, where would my father and mother know any sons in the county? The other party is willing to give a bride price of ten taels of silver. Liu Yuehong's voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke.

The bride price of ten taels of silver is already a lot for the people in the village. The bride price of ordinary people is only five or six taels of silver.

"If you know what the other party's surname is, I can still help you inquire, you don't even know what the other person's surname is, and I can't inquire. Even if you inquire clearly, what can you do, if the other party is not a good person, you can go against the will of your parents and run away from marriage? Gu Yunjie wasn't sure if Liu Yuehong was looking for her to say this, whether it was her own intention or Li Zheng's meaning.

Liu Yuehong bit her lip: "It's definitely not okay to run away from marriage, if my parents find out, maybe they will beat me to death." There's nothing I can do but come and talk to you. They all said hello, your brain is smarter than before. I thought about apologizing before I left the village. ”

"The hours have passed, and I haven't taken it to heart. If you can find out who it is, I'll help you inquire. ”

Liu Yuehong got up: "Forget it, let it be fate, if you find out, I can't change anything." Xiaojie, I sometimes really envy you, you have a father and grandmother who love you. ”

It is false to say that there is no envy.

When Xiaojie was still a fool, Uncle Gu and Grandma Gu regarded her as a treasure in their hands. For such a major event as divorce, Xiaojie is also in charge of herself, and the parents at home did not say that it was not.

But she has many sisters in her family, and it is impossible to get the favor of her father, who made her not a son.

If she was born a boy and the son that her father and mother were looking forward to, the treatment would definitely be different.

Liu Yuehong went back.

Gu Yunjie looked at her back as she went back, and whispered to Chu San, who had just come back to get water: "Do you think there is something strange about this?" ”

"Sort of. is just right, how did he talk about such a thing, perhaps, he was helping Liu Zihao to assist the road and use the girl in the village to send favors. ”

"If you want me to guess, the Liu family plans to give Liu Yuehong to Chen Guangshi. Before Liu Zihao made Chen Guangshi lose face, the Liu family will definitely find a way to make up for it. Liu Yuehong's appearance is not bad, and she is also one of the best in Liujia Village. ”

"The Liu family really fought hard in order to catch the line of the Chen family." Chu San was dismissive.

"Then Chen Guangshi is not a good person." Gu Yunjie told Chu San about the things he found in the shopkeeper Hu: "As long as the girl he fancies, if the other party refuses, he will rob and coerce him in all kinds of ways, and for his behavior, Master Kang also turns a blind eye and doesn't care at all." ”

"You're going to save her?"

"It also depends on whether she is smart or not. As you can see, it's her parents' decision, and I, an outsider, can help her. "Her own parents are willing to send her away, and she is an outsider who is not willing to do anything.

"We can observe this matter secretly." Chu San said softly: "Sooner or later, we and the Liu family will have to face each other, don't you say?" ”

Gu Yunjie nodded.

Chu San took the water and went out.

Gu Yunjie saw that it was still early, so she decided to go to the mountain.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there are many treasures in the mountains, and there is nothing to go around, it is always right, if you can harvest a few hundred-year-old ginseng or something, it is even more perfect.

Because of the time, I couldn't go far, and I harvested two hares and some ordinary medicinal herbs, and picked up a lot of mushrooms.

When I got home, I put the hare in a bamboo cage and started cooking and washing vegetables.

……

During the meal, Gu Xiangxiang told her father what Liu Ziyu told her.

"The Liu family really has this meaning, let you kiss in advance and take care of your father-in-law?" Xu Lifen's face was not very good.

Ziyu said that Zihao was busy with his studies and had no time to take care of his family. His father is now inconvenient to go to the field, and he has injuries on his body, so there can be no one at home, and no one can do the work in the field. Gu Xiangxiang looked at the food in front of her, and she lost any appetite.

Let her marry Liu Zihao, she is happy. When she thought that she would have to serve her father-in-law as soon as she passed, she couldn't be happy.

She thought that Zihao would become an official's wife after gaining fame, but as soon as she got married, she was called as a maid.

Gu Haikun was not at home, and went to Xiulei Gong Temple like other villagers.

"If they have not made it clear to them, let us not know. I said it before, I will get married after Zihao wins Xiucai, how can there be any reason to advance the marriage date. Xu Lifen thought of something, and glared at Gu Xiangxiang: "Why did you say that you are so unblessed, and before you have passed the door, your father-in-law thinks of you to take care of it." ”

"Mother, if you want to blame Gu Yunjie for this, I heard Ziyu say that the reason why Zihao's father became like this is because of Gu Yunjie."

"You have a young son, Yu Ziyu, she is not a good person." Xu Lifen thought of something: "Liu Zihao is okay if he passes the exam, but if he doesn't pass the exam, you just wait to suffer from them." ”

When Gu Xiangxiang heard this, her little face fell: "Mother, you have to help me." ”

"During this time, you have nothing to do with the Liu family, don't pretend to be sick or anything, let the Liu family know that you are weak, so as not to give Liu Jiaqi too sick."

Gu Xiangxiang's eyes lit up: "Mother, it has to be you." ”

……

"Xiaojie, come here." Gu Lanshi opened the cloth bag and saw that a layer of white appeared on the new seeds that Xiao Jie bought, and happily shouted to Gu Yunjie: "Sprout, sprout." ”

Xiao Jie was watching Chu San skin the rabbit, the scene was too bloody, and when she heard her grandmother's call, she immediately ran over.

If you look closely, it's really budding.

"Milk, what's the matter, people didn't lie to us." Gu Yunjie wanted to grab a handful and try it, but was slapped by Gu Lan's hand: "It seems that it can be sown tomorrow." Tomorrow you two will go with me to sow seeds. ”

The seeds sprouted, and Gu Lanshi began to soak the second wave of seeds. Twenty catties of seeds are only enough for two acres of paddy fields.

The family has five acres of paddy fields, and they still need 30 catties of seeds.

As soon as Qinghua came in, she saw the two grandchildren surrounding the seeds: "Are you rice seeds?" I saw that it was not quite the same as what we usually planted. ”

The grains are fuller and longer, golden and beautiful.

"This is a new variety that Xiaojie bought from the county, and it is said that the yield is higher than the seeds we are planting now, and I plan to try it." Gu Lanshi didn't hide it either.

"Is this kind of seed really more productive than what we're growing now?"

"That's what the shopkeeper said, I don't know." Gu Yunjie smiled embarrassedly: "I don't have much experience either, as soon as people say this, I believe it." The milk said that you can try it, and in case there is no harvest, it is the same to buy a few months' rations to eat. ”

"I think it's plump, it's beautiful. Xiaojie, do you have any leftovers of this kind of child? I'd like to try some too. ”

"How much are you going to plant, I'm soaking seeds, if you need to, I'll help you soak them."

"I'll plant an acre, is there so much more?" One acre of land is almost ten catties of seeds, and if you plant one acre, even if there is no harvest, there are still several acres of grain to be harvested at home.

"Okay." Gu Lanshi asked Xiao Jie to weigh another ten catties of seeds.
