Chapter 181: Mo family conspiracy
Chapter 181 The Mo family’s conspiracy
Following the village chief He were He Wanli, He Laotian, He Dagong, He Dasi, and He Wazi's family. Several families also handed over their respective congratulatory gifts.
The daughters-in-law of several families also came, including the widow of He Wazi. Yesterday, they were led by village chief He and his men to sign a contract at Gu Jinli's house. Now they are also members of the Gu family's workshop.
In addition to their family, the He Tieshu family also came.
Because he did not go to the door with He Guangcai and others to ask for work, but ran to notify the village head He, which was a disguised help to the Gu family, so the Gu Jinli family recruited his daughter-in-law to work in the workshop.
At this point, the Gu family’s workshop alone has fourteen women and children who grind spices.
One person can grind two or three kilograms of spices a day, and fourteen people can grind about forty kilograms, which is still a little short of Gu Jinli's goal of fifty kilograms. But there is no rush. People can be recruited slowly to avoid problems caused by recruiting too many people.
"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, congratulations on the opening of your workshop." He Dugu's mother brought her two daughters-in-law, followed by the two daughters-in-law of He Laotian's family, He Wanli's daughter-in-law, He Tieshu's daughter-in-law, and He Wazi's widow. , a group of women followed the third grandmother into the right wing.
The third grandma said a few words to them, and then took Ms. Cui out to do some work.
As the time gets closer and closer to the auspicious time, more and more villagers come to congratulate them, almost all of them are from the He family, and there are also three families from the Lu family who bring congratulatory gifts.
Today is a big day. The third grandfather didn’t want to make things too ugly, so he accepted their gifts, but the gift in return was heavier than the gift they brought.
Lu Gensheng and the others were a little embarrassed, knowing that Third Grandpa wanted to distance himself from them, so that they would not think that just by giving a gift, the Lu family's harm to Qin, Gu, Luotian and his family could be wiped out.
“Brother Gu, let’s go back first. You can stay here and don’t need to send me off.” Lu Gensheng and the others knew that it was impossible to untie the beam at once. After receiving the gift in return, he left the Gu family’s workshop.
Village Chief He saw the embarrassment and loneliness of Lu Gensheng and the others, and was very happy in his heart. Fortunately, he woke up quickly, otherwise the He family would have to be like Lu Gensheng and the others, watching Qin Gu Luotian and his family get rich.
"Hurry up and go home after congratulations!" Village Chief He said to the He family who came to congratulate them. These careless people, in order to come to the workshop to work, all hang around after giving gifts. What does it look like?
When the He family heard this and saw the scary look on the face of Village Chief He, they thought of what Village Chief He had warned them and hurriedly left.
Not far away, behind the courtyard wall of an old mud house at the end of the village, Mrs. Mo poked her head out. She was startled when she saw the villagers walking back. She quickly retracted her head and asked Mr. Mo who was hiding under the courtyard wall: " Old man, the villagers have left. Has the Gu Family Workshop already unveiled a plaque? Then should we make a fuss?"
Mr. Mo frowned when he heard this, stretched out his head and looked in the direction of the Gu family's workshop, and said, "The plaque hanging on the courtyard door is still covered with red cloth. The plaque hasn't been unveiled yet, so we don't have to worry. We'll wait."
“Still waiting? The villagers are all gone, who are we going to show off to?”
"Of course we are going to show Shang Xiucai." Mr. Mo said: "The Gu family's workshop opened today. The Gu family's girl saved Shang Xiucai's daughter. Shang Xiucai's family will definitely come. When Shang Xiucai and the others arrive, we will go and cause trouble. When the time comes, , The Gu family will definitely compensate our family for the sake of face."
Their family would hide here just to make trouble and ask for money while the Gu family's workshop was open. "Hmph, does that **** girl Chunyue think we can't take advantage of her if she sells herself to the Gu family? Since she already belongs to the Gu family, let's go to the Gu family and ask for the money from selling ourselves. If she doesn't give it to us, we'll make trouble!"
On the second day of March, they heard that Mo Chunyue and He Sanleizi sold themselves to the Gu family and received six taels of silver for selling themselves, and their eyes were red with jealousy. He immediately asked Dali to go to He San Leizi's house to ask for money, but He San Leizi not only refused to give him the money, but actually beat Dali.
Chun Yue, that bitch, didn't speak for Dali either, and let He San scoundrel beat her own father.
On the third day of March, he asked the old woman to come to the house with her two daughters-in-law and cry to Chunyue about the difficulties at home. As a result, the dead girl was indifferent, and He Sanshengzi even drove the old woman and the others out with a hatchet.
They suffered losses twice and knew that it was impossible to get money from He San Leizi and Mo Chunyue, so they had to go to the Gu family to get it.
But the Gu family is also a bunch of tough people. That stinky girl Gu Xiaoyu dared to use a knife on him, but she didn't give him any respect as an elder.
After much thought, Mr. Mo came up with a way. On the day when the Gu family's workshop opened, he brought a whole family to the door and cried. The Gu family hindered the opening of the workshop and had many customers. They would definitely suffer this hidden loss and give their family a bag of money. Done.
“Old lady, you can take Dongyue and Bei Ge’er up first. You don’t have to go into the Gu family’s workshop, just sit at the door and cry.”
Dongyue and Bei Ge'er are the two youngest grandchildren in his family. An old woman crying with two little children will definitely make people feel sad. Especially the scholar, these scholars hate to see women and children suffer the most. Maybe the scholar might see his old woman crying miserably and give her a few coins, and then his family will be rich.
"Qiuyue, follow you to nurse them. Don't cry loudly. You have to cry more beautifully. When Gu Jinan comes out, pretend to fall, throw yourself at him, and hug him in front of everyone. Just hug him Come on, Gu Jinan can’t marry you even if he doesn’t want to!”
"The Gu family is not only rich now, but Gu Jinan is also studying with Shang Xiucai. He is a student of the scholar, and will definitely be a scholar in the future. If you can marry him, you will be a scholar's wife, and you will not have to worry about it in this life." Mr. Mo was excited. Said.
Mo Qiuyue is 12 years old, not yet old enough to marry, but she has understood everything after escaping from the wilderness all the way. Hearing this, thinking of Gu Jinan's Qingjun appearance, he nodded with a blushing face and whispered, "Well, don't worry, Qiuyue will never let you down."
"Mom, Qiuyue, you have made your mark. You will be a scholar in the future, and my mother will depend on you for the rest of her life." Mo Dakui's wife took Mo Qiuyue's hand and was so happy that she thought her father-in-law had come up with it. This was a great idea. She found such a good family for Qiuyue in no time.
"Mother~" Mo Qiuyue blushed like a cloud, lowered her head, and was very shy. She was already imagining herself marrying Gu Jin'an, becoming a scholar's wife, or even a scholar's wife, following Gu Jin'an in and out of various official mansions.
Mo Dayong's wife looked at Mo Dongyue, who was about to be eight years old, and felt unhappy. It would be better if her Dongyue were a few years older.
"Mom and dad, please stop talking. There is a mule cart coming. It looks like it belongs to Shang Xiucai's family." Mo Dakui was responsible for looking out. He saw a group of mule carts coming towards the end of the village. He hurried over and told Mr. Mo.
"Get down and don't say anything. When Shang Xiucai and the others get off the car to carry the gifts, old lady, you can take the two children out." Mr. Mo said. All thirteen members of the Mo family lay down under the courtyard wall, waiting. The mule cart of Shang Xiucai's family passed by.
