The patriarch of the Gu clan is about 60 years old, very short, with shrewd eyes.

Entering the Gu's courtyard, he first scanned the crowd, took out a piece of yellowed paper from his arms, and looked at Mrs. Gu.

"Songgen's family, don't be dissatisfied. This was written and handed over to me by Dalang himself when he was dying. It was clearly written on it. If Gu Shi leaves the Gu family, all the family business he bought will be handed over to me." The family will take care of it, I did not take back the yard you live in for Song Gen's sake, if you make trouble again..."

Wang suddenly said, "According to what the patriarch said, Xiao... If Gu Shi returns to the Gu family, shouldn't you return the land deed to us?"

Patriarch Gu was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Gu Shi without a trace, and nodded: "It should be so."

Mrs. Gu also came to her senses, glanced at Gu Shi with resentment, and gave Feng a stiff smile: "At that time, your family bought my grandson for five taels of silver, today I will give you six taels..."

"I don't agree." Lin Baobao didn't finish her sentence, and directly refused: "Ah Shi is a person, not something you can buy or sell."

Feng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, you can sell it if you say it, and you can buy it if you say it. Why don't you stick two wings in your ass to go to the sky?"

Six taels?Who do you look down on?

Lin Dalang and the others also nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Gu: ...

Gu Shi looked at the members of the Lin family who surrounded him, and his throat felt a little dry.

He thought...

……

Two quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Feng led the Lin family out of Gu's house in a valiant manner.

He was still cursing unceremoniously: "30 taels? What a joke, is our Lin family the kind of people with shallow eyes? Only some young women..."

Yes, later Mrs. Gu raised Gu Shi's worth to 30 taels.

One mu of paddy fields can be sold for 15 to 400 taels of silver, and [-] mu is [-] taels of silver. No matter how you calculate it, she will not lose money.

Mrs. Zhou echoed at the side: "That's right, my brother-in-law has entered our Lin family, and it's our Lin family. Let alone 30 taels, you can't sell it for 300 taels."

Everyone in Xiaohe Village: It seems that the Lin family is not as bad as they thought.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded all the way, until they left Xiaohe Village, they suddenly fell silent, and at the same time stretched out their hands to cover their chests and looked uncomfortable.

"Mother, grandma, what's the matter with you?" Da Mao was extremely worried.

Zhou leaned crookedly into Lin Erlang's arms: "30 taels!"

Feng Shi: "My heart hurts~"

If they didn't walk fast, maybe the old woman would have to join!

She was afraid that she would not be able to help but agree.

Crowd: ...

Lin Baobao was amused, and caught a glimpse of two familiar figures in front of him: "Mother, do you think those are the eldest aunt and the lobby sister-in-law?"

When Feng looked at it, who else could it be if it wasn't Liao and Xiao Liao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
The old lady immediately got excited, and chased after her in two or three steps: "Oh, sister-in-law, are you going back now? Why didn't Chunya keep you at home for dinner?"

Mrs. Liao didn't expect to meet this family here, so she smiled: "I'll stay, I said I want to go home and cook for the old man and the others."

"Isn't Shouxing's wife at home?"

Liao didn't want to talk about this, but instead asked, "Why did you come to Xiaohe Village?"

When asked about this, Mrs. Feng had something to say, and immediately brought up Mrs. Gu and scolded her all over again, emphasizing how she is not moved by money...

Lin Baobao and Gu Shi were at the end. Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining at all, they suddenly got a little angry: "Do you want to go back home?"

Without even thinking about it, Gu Shi said, "I don't want to."

"Then you won't say anything to me!" Lin Baobao reacted after finishing speaking.

Gu Shi didn't say it, maybe he was worried that they would return him to the Gu family for money.

But how can you hide this kind of thing?
Lin Baobao felt inexplicably uncomfortable: "Don't forget, you gave me five taels of silver for redemption, so you are free now, and no one can decide whether you will stay or not."

"Also, next time you have to tell me about something, if we don't come, you won't be beaten to death by them?" She saw that the rope was ready.

Gu Shi pursed his lips: "The patriarch will come."

Seeing what he said so decisively, something flashed in Lin Baobao's mind: "Are you guys in collusion? That letter?"

"Cough, I forged it."

Baby Lin: ...

No wonder she felt that it was against harmony, that letter seemed to be specially reserved by Uncle Gu knowing the nature of his stepmother.

But in order to protect Gu Shi, he directly made the letter public, wouldn't it be better to let her cast a trap?
It would make sense if the letter never existed before.

As for why the letter added the premise that Gu Shi left the Gu family instead of directly donating the land to the family.

Naturally, it was for rationalization. It was unreasonable for Mrs. Gu to occupy the [-] acres of land for more than two years before jumping out to talk about it.

As for the second, it is unreasonable not to leave the family property to an outsider instead of leaving it to the son.

After thinking about it, Lin Baobao felt that his worries were all in vain.

This man gave the clan [-] acres of land, not to mention that the clan leader would help him, even the clan members surnamed Gu had to stand by his side.

After all, they won't get any benefits from Mrs. Gu's hands, and it's different if they belong to the clan's property.

"You really deserve it."

Thirty acres of land, how long does it take to open up wasteland, and if it is said to be given away, it will be given away.

Gu Shi thought she was dissatisfied with his actions, and his heart tightened: "I..."

"I know. Mrs. Gu occupies the title of elder no matter what. If you forcibly snatch the family property from her, you will be charged with unfilial piety."

"But the land was left for you by your father. Instead of taking advantage of those relatives who are full of malice towards you, it is better to let others go, so you are doing the right thing."

After finishing speaking, Lin Baobao was stunned, and she suddenly remembered Feng's theory of "if you don't pick it up, you will be picked up by others, so why should you make it cheaper for others".

At that time, Gu Shi agreed, could it be the inspiration from here?
Gu Shi didn't know what she was thinking, and explained: "According to the laws of Da Viet, grandparents, fathers, and mothers set up separate household registrations during their lives, and they are unfilial if they save money privately. Eighty sticks and three thousand wanderers."

But the people don't sue, the officials don't investigate, and it's not uncommon for parents to choose to separate their families.

Knowing that this era values ​​filial piety, Baobao Lin frowned: "Then it doesn't matter if you do this?"

"The patriarch is here."

The imperial power does not come down to the county, and only the clan is in the county, and the clan is self-governing. As long as the patriarch and clan members stand on his side, Mrs. Gu has nothing to do.

"That's good." Baby Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Shi lowered his eyes, there is another article in the Da Viet regulations, people who are not filial or fraternal are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

Time flies to the end of July. In the past month, rows of tea oil trees have been planted on the Lin family's two acres of mountain land, and the seedlings of the second crop rice have also been planted.

And the villagers in Dahe Village were shocked at seeing the Lin family's work at the beginning, then became numb and finally got used to it.

Everyone has to admit that the Lin family has really changed. They are no longer the lazy people who shake their heads whenever others mention it. In addition, they also discovered one thing...

"Lin Xiaoliu, your second brother blocked the ditch dug by Gouzi Daddy, and you still don't care about it."

(Unfilial people are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. It is based on the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty. Private household registration is not allowed. You can check the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. It seems to be a bit of a hodgepodge, but it doesn't matter, we are making it up!)
