Dress up in a group and spoil my little aunt, I will make the whole family rich

Chapter 15 Silver Ingots

On the opposite side of the river from Dahe Village is Xiaohe Village, over a hillside. In Xiaohe Village, more than half of the people have the surname Gu.

During the busy farming season, even if they can't sleep, farmers who are tired all day are more willing to go back to the house and lie down.

When Gu Shi stood at the entrance of Xiaohe Village, every house in the village had closed their doors, and only a few houses could see sporadic lights.

The night breeze was gentle, taking away the heat of the day, and the light silver moonlight fell on the village path. Although the road was still unclear, it would not be dark all the way.

Gu Shi walked through most of the village, and finally stopped in front of a yard made of blue bricks, which was his original home.

The reason why it is called the original is not that he has entered the Lin family.

But after his father left, the most magnificent courtyard in Xiaohe Village was occupied by his stepmother, Mrs. Gu and her second uncle's family, and he became the one to depend on.

There was not much sadness on Gu Shi's face, he just stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, then climbed up the courtyard wall with his hands and feet, and then jumped up, standing in the courtyard.

Because he and his father lived alone, only four rooms were built when the house was built.

One is used as a kitchen, he and his father live in one separately, and the one facing south with the best light is used as his study.

Gu Shi went straight to the study room, where his second uncle Gu Shuangquan and second aunt Wang lived.

"Did you tell mother that the kid is still alive?"

As soon as he approached the door, Mrs. Wang's voice sounded from inside.

Gu Shuangquan said impatiently, "I didn't say anything."

"Then why don't you bring him back?"

"Why take it back? You don't want him to marry your niece, do you? Let me tell you not to think about it."

"Isn't that what you said earlier, that kid Feng'er..."

"Who told you? You told that girl to settle it yourself. Don't forget that our family has collected five taels of silver from the Lin family. Do you think it is possible for the mother to return the money to that boy?"

Silver is the life of Mrs. Gu, of course it is impossible.

"I'm not all because of Feng'er, I just think that kid has a lot of weird ideas, and I don't feel at ease if I don't put it in front of me. If you say it's all your fault, why don't you check to see if the person is dead or not..."

"Are you blaming me now? You weren't the one who told me that there would be so many troubles when the kid hid the money?"

Wang said awkwardly: "Didn't I just guess wildly, who knew that you just got started."

"It's true of you, no matter what, it's your own nephew, why is it so hard to attack, you are not afraid that your elder brother will come to you at night."

Gu Shuangquan muttered: "It doesn't look like our family at all, it's not certain whether it's my nephew or not."

Gu Shi was not born in Xiaohe Village. His father, Gu Dalang, was sold to a merchant by his stepmother when he was young, the current old lady Gu, to be a boy.

Twelve years ago, Gu Dalang suddenly returned to Xiaohe Village with a sick child—the three-year-old Gu Shi.

At that time, the father and son were both in tatters, if Gu Dalang and Old Man Gu hadn't looked so much alike, no one would have recognized them.

Suddenly there were two more mouths to eat in the family, and the younger one had to spend money on medicine. Mrs. Gu didn't want to, so she sent the father and son out in a broken thatched hut.

Who would have thought that Gu Dalang had money on hand, and then turned around to buy land and build a big tile house with green bricks.

The old lady Gu almost died of anger, at first she wanted to win him back, but Gu Dalang was no longer the little baby she let her round and flatten, and the old lady didn't take advantage of the slippery behavior.

Until Gu Dalang had an accident two years ago...

"What?" The voice was too low, Mrs. Wang couldn't hear clearly.

Gu Shuangquan pushed her aside impatiently: "Shut up, and let no one sleep."

Wang muttered a few words, seeing that the man really didn't pay attention to her, she curled her lips and fell asleep.

Gu Shi waited at the door for a long while, and only when a man's thunderous snoring sounded from inside, he opened the door cautiously and went in.

About the time of a cup of tea, he came out.

From the place where he came in, he climbed over the wall and exited the yard. This time he didn't stop there, and went directly to the vegetable garden behind the house.

He casually picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and started digging towards a certain place. After a while, he was asked to dig out a rough wooden box.

Gu Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully stroked the dirt off the wooden box. Thinking of something, his eyes were filled with a little smile, which was fleeting.

He filled the excavated pit back and covered it with some dry soil to make sure that there were no traces, and he left along the way he came.

Passing by the gate of the courtyard of the patriarch of the Gu clan, there was a faint candlelight shining through it. Gu Shi thought about it, then turned around and walked over to knock on the courtyard gate.

……

With a creak, the courtyard door opened.

"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" Baby Lin turned around when he heard the sound, and opened his mouth to ask a series of questions when he saw that it was Gu Shi.

After asking, I felt that it was not good to inquire about other people's privacy, so I added seriously: "There are wolves in the mountains nearby, so be careful not to be caught if you run around at night."

Gu Shi didn't expect Baby Lin to stay up so late, so he paused.

Under the moonlight, the slender girl was sitting in front of the rice pile, holding a small handful of rice ears in her hand, probably for the convenience of work, her hair and sleeves were rolled up, revealing a white lotus root arm.

When I looked up at you, my eyes were clear and bright, like stars.

Gu Shi was so hot that he turned his head away: "I went back to Xiaohe Village, and I was delayed for a while because of something."

"I will tell you in advance next time I go out."

He suddenly said so many words, Lin Baobao was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was answering his own question. With an oh sound, he tied up the picked ears of rice and put them away quickly.Turning around to see Gu Shi was drying the clothes, because he washed them by hand while taking a shower.

"Seeing that you didn't eat much at night, I left you a chicken leg in the kitchen." It was the two pheasant legs that Lin Wulang brought back, and she cut up the other one and shared it with Si Niu and the others.

Originally, he was thinking about waiting for him to come back and ask if he had offended him, but seeing that he was acting like a normal person again, Lin Baobao stopped thinking, patted the ashes on his body, washed his hands and prepared to go back to sleep .

This afternoon, she was actually too tired.

"I have something for you."

"What..." Baby Lin turned his head, saw the thing handed in front of him by the moonlight, and rolled his eyes: "You... Where did you get the money from?"

It turned out to be a silver ingot!

"My father left it behind."

It was the first time for Lin Baobao to see the silver ingot. He touched it with his hand curiously, and then carefully held it upside down in his hand.

Gu Shi couldn't hold back the corners of his lips: "This is five taels, here you are."

"Why don't you give it to yourself when you have money..." Redemption is not a good word, but Lin Baobao stopped in time: "Just give it to me?"

Gu Shi: ...

"Well, ransom money."

Well, what was given to her could also be ransom money.

"Then when will you leave?" It was only when she met this person twice that she could see the disaster that hadn't happened in advance. In fact, Lin Baobao didn't want him to leave.

But... twisted melons are not sweet.

Gu Shi: ...

Gu Shi ignored her again.

Lin Baobao went to sleep with Yinzi in his arms, but he didn't find it.
