Chapter 143: All in vain
Chapter 143 All in vain
Since the deal couldn’t be completed this time, the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan no longer called the eldest daughter-in-law Dakui’s daughter-in-law sister, and she could expose the face of Dakui’s daughter-in-law in just one sentence.
Mo Dali knew that the whole family wanted to sell Chun Yue in exchange for benefits for the family. He was also waiting for Chun Yue's money from selling her body to marry a wife. But when he heard what Shuan's wife said, he still felt uncomfortable and cut Mo Dali hard. Kui glanced at him.
"That's enough. We'll give you the money." Mr. Mo was afraid that his sons would fall out, so he could only compromise, but he didn't intend to give that much silver: "I don't have ten taels of silver. I'll give you five taels at most. Take it if you want."
The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan did not continue to argue with the Mo family, but gave up when she saw that it was good, "Okay, it's bad luck for the Lu family, just five taels, just five taels, bring it."
Mr. Mo shook his hands and handed the silver in his hand to Mrs. Mo: "Give it to her."
Old Mrs. Mo was holding the piece of silver that the eldest daughter-in-law had smashed on the ground in her hand, and her heart hurt as if her flesh had been cut out: "Old man, this is money for Dali to marry a wife and build a house for our family."
If they were given out, their family would continue to live in this muddy hut.
“Give it to her!” Mr. Mo shouted.
Mrs. Mo had no choice but to give five taels of silver to the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan.
The eldest daughter-in-law Shuan grabbed the silver, weighed it in her hand, and said, "Don't think that your family has suffered a loss. These five taels of silver can keep your whole family safe. Otherwise, Lu will go back on something you dare to regret." Your home can destroy your home."
After saying this, the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan took the silver and left happily.
The Mo family was so busy that they lost their face, their granddaughter was gone, and they had not earned any money. The whole family was cursing the heavens and the earth. Mrs. Mo and her two daughters-in-law cried bitterly. Mr. Mo became furious and spat out an old Blood, fainted.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?”
“Old man, old man, don’t let anything happen to you.”
The Mo family was in complete chaos. The whole family was pinching people again and running to ask Mo Kuizi to get money to pay for a doctor.
Mo Kuizi was unwilling at first, but thinking that Mr. Mo was also an uncle of the same clan, he gritted his teeth and went to the neighboring village to hire a barefoot doctor to treat Mr. Mo. However, this was the last time he relented.
…
No matter how miserable the Mo family is, Gu Jinli's tofu business is getting better and better. Today, a group of people came to the house. They are all villagers from nearby villages. They want to buy tofu from them and pick it up elsewhere like Lianghe Village. Go sell it.
Village Chief He had just finished taking care of He San Leizi. As soon as he heard about it, he immediately brought the He family to the house to help the Gu family evict people.
There are still many families in the He family who have not received tofu. How can they let people from other villages come to the Gu family to buy tofu.
Gu Dashan said to those people: "It's almost March. Our family doesn't have many hands. We have to leave some people for spring plowing. The tofu business will be discussed after spring plowing."
The Gu family's tofu was not enough to sell. Those in the neighboring villages saw it with their own eyes. After hearing what Gu Dashan said and seeing the village head He leading a group of He family members to drive them away, the villagers who came to ask for tofu had no choice but to leave.
But before leaving, they said to Gu Dashan: "Brothers of the Gu family, we will come back after spring plowing. Then you can't push us any further. If you push any further, our livelihood will be cut off." The He family sneered at these people's words and cursed: " Cut off your livelihood? Our He family hasn’t gotten the tofu yet, who are you? Let me tell you, if you want tofu, you have to get enough tofu from our village, so get out!"
With the help of the He family, when people from other villages come to ask for tofu, they no longer need to worry about the family, and the He family will help drive them away.
Because of the tofu business, the status of Qin Gu Luotian's family in Dafeng Village has soared. In the past, the He family looked down on them, but now they beg them.
The Lu family is also very jealous of the Gu family's tofu business, and wants to cause trouble for the Gu family and get a share of the tofu business, but they are also afraid of County Lieutenant Jiang. The Lu family was caught last time when Lu Laosan went to the Gu family to steal the prescription. Young Master, each family spent five taels of silver to rescue the man in charge from the county jail. Now they dare not go to the Gu family to cause trouble.
No matter what the Lu family thinks, the Qin Gu Luotian family has been living a good life recently.
While Gu Jinli was busy, he was also waiting for news from the Jiang family, but Gu Jinan told her: "Sir, Mr. Jiang said that Lieutenant Jiang will follow the county magistrate to pick up new victims in Fucheng, and it will take a few days to come back, so you have to wait first. wait."
They were lucky enough to be the first batch of victims to be resettled, but there were still many victims in Fucheng who had not been resettled. After the New Year, He'an Mansion has been busy with this matter, and is still busy now.
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent."
When the third grandmother heard Gu Jinan’s words, she frowned and asked, “It’s almost March, why are there still victims who haven’t been resettled?”
Shang Xiucai was not a pedantic scholar and would tell Gu Jinan about the victims, so Gu Jinan knew better and replied: "Originally, the resettlement was completed, but in early February, many victims were assigned to He'an Mansion. The people currently being resettled are the victims who arrived after February."
Grandpa San asked Gu Jinan: "Do you know where these new victims come from? Are there any victims from our Long'an Prefecture?"
The third grandpa and the third grandma had a daughter, but they got separated while fleeing from famine. The third grandpa and the third grandma searched for their daughter and her family all the way, but there was no news.
Gu Jinan knew what the third grandpa and the third grandma were thinking, but he didn’t know where these new victims were from, so he had no choice but to say: “I’ll ask the husband tomorrow to see if he knows.”
When the third grandma heard this, she thought of her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, and wiped her tears and said, "Then go and ask Ange when you go to school tomorrow."
Afraid of causing trouble to Shang Xiucai and making Shang Xiucai dislike Brother An, he explained: "If Shang Xiucai doesn't know, you don't need to bother asking, so as not to annoy people."
Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Third Grandma, sir, he is very kind to me. If he knows about Aunt Fuya's family, he will definitely help to find her. My husband's in-laws are Jiangxianwei. If Jiangxianwei helps, maybe we can turn up."
The eyes of the third grandfather and the third grandmother were bright, and their originally sad faces were filled with light: "Really?"
If they could really find their daughter and her family, the old couple would be willing to die now.
Gu Jinan didn't dare to make a guarantee, but seeing the expectant looks on the two old people's faces and not wanting to make them sad, he said: "I heard from Mr. that there are many victims going south, and maybe Aunt Fuya's family is among those victims."
Gu Jinli also comforted the third grandpa and grandma: "Don't worry, third grandpa and grandma, we can all survive on the road to escape, and so can Aunt Fuya's family. If we search carefully, we will definitely find Aunt Fuya's family. Even if we can't find it, we can If we come to Aunt Fuya and the others, Aunt Fuya and the others will also come to us."
