Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 37 Brilliant flowers eventually wither

When he turned around, there was deep pain and helplessness in his eyes.

She knew what he meant, but she couldn't accept it. Their identities and their families are like an unbridgeable gap that separates them.

Han Yili stopped Gu Yu who turned around and asked, "Is there really no other possibility? I can leave everything behind."

Gu Yu paused, his eyes filled with determination and helplessness, and he shook his head.

Han Yili looked at a wild flower swaying in the wind in front of her. This emotion took root as brilliantly as a flower in his heart, but gradually withered under Gu Yu's rejection.

There was a dead silence in his heart, and all hope seemed to be blown away by the wind.

The ups and downs of emotions caused a fishy smell to rise in his throat. He squeezed his hands tightly and tried to stay rational. He called Fangtang to help him and said sarcastically: "I've been troublesome for Miss Gu for the past two days. Han said goodbye!"

Gu Yu turned around and looked at the figure walking further and further away. He saw a jade pendant in the place occupied by Han Yili before, and raised his hand to suck it over.

Seeing the word "一利" engraved on the jade pendant, I felt the howling mountain wind, with a little chill, and stood quietly in place.

On the other side, Han Yili got on the carriage driven by Han Jing and asked Fang Tang to blow the whistle to call Han Wei and the others back.

As soon as the carriage left the mountain village, Han Yili finally couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands and coughed violently. When his breath calmed down, he was stunned when he saw the dazzling red color on his hands.

Fangtang was not far away watching every move of Han Yili and Gu Yu today, seeing Gu Yu's determination and Han Yili's despair.

Seeing Han Yili's condition getting worse, she wanted to rush back and cut Gu Yu into pieces.

He took out the medicine he had been carrying with him for the past two days and said, "Sir, take a pill!"

Han Yili looked at her hands blankly and knocked away the medicine bottle with her hand, "I'm fine, no need."

He said he was fine, but he coughed violently several times along the way, and there was blood every time.

At night, the person fell into a coma and developed a high fever, and his breathing gradually became weak.

Several people in Fangtang rushed around anxiously, taking tokens to find Mu Qianxue, and called all the doctors in the county to rescue Han Yili.

An old doctor with a goatee took Han Yili's pulse and shook his head, "Sir, the young master's weakness should be rested, and his heart should not be upset. The only thing the old man can do now is to save his life, and we will have to look at it later. He created it.”

After pricking a few needles on Han Yili's head, Han Yili woke up, prescribed some medicine, and asked Fang Tang to get the medicine, boil it, drink it, and observed him all night. After seeing that his condition stabilized, he shook his head and went back.

Gu Yu didn't know why his heart was beating so fast. He just thought that it might be the first time in the past eighteen years that he had experienced emotional pain, and his emotions had not calmed down.

When she returned home after she had recovered her mood on the mountain, she saw her second uncle and his wife, and she was a little confused: "Second uncle, second aunt, why are you here?"

The second uncle looked very happy: "I heard from your parents that you and your nobles went up the mountain with you?"

"Yes! They are rushing back to the county seat. It's almost time and I will be back." Gu Yu put down the machete he brought with him, sat down and took a sip of water.

Yang didn't see Han Yili and asked, "Have they gone back?"

"Well, I went."

Seeing that there was no sadness on her daughter's face, Yang's expression improved slightly. During dinner in the evening, the second uncle mentioned the reason for their visit, "...the woman asked for a house in the town before she would marry her. The family only had five taels of silver and couldn't raise the money, so she shamelessly asked her brother-in-law if he could support her. a little."

Gu Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart after listening to her second uncle's words.

The second uncle's family has a population similar to that of the first uncle, with four sons and two daughters. The family situation is worse than that of my uncle's family.

It is said that when the family was separated, the eldest uncle, as the eldest son, allotted half of the land to himself. The two younger uncles received very little of the property. Over the years, they also rented the land from the landlord to grow food.

Nowadays, the grandchildren are growing up, and it takes a lot of money to get married and have a wife.

The Tiezhu that the second uncle was talking about worked as a waiter in the town in his early years and learned a few words. Now he works as a waiter in a cloth shop in the town and is considered the most promising one in the family.

He is not promising but has high standards. He looks down on the girls in the village, so he has a date with one in the town. Now she wants to buy a house in the town before marrying her.

After Gu Yu heard the whole story, he turned his attention to his parents. Gu Wu sat on the stool calmly, tasting the dishes and taking a sip of wine.

Mrs. Yang looked at her daughter and husband with some embarrassment, and said, "Oh! Second brother, this... we don't have much spare money on hand..."

"I know you are not well-off either." The second uncle said with a wry smile, "But there is really no other way. Tie Zhu must marry her, because this girl's family needs a house."

Gu Wu swallowed the food in his mouth, pondered for a moment and then asked: "In addition to buying a house, does the woman have any other requirements?"

The second uncle took a sip of wine, smiled slightly bitterly, and said, "There are other requirements! The Qian family brought news to Tie Zhu that the house should not be smaller than one, and the bride price was sixty-six taels, and pigs and cattle were also required. , sheep and these.”

Gu Wu frowned when he heard this: The bride price of sixty-six, including the house, cattle and other things, would be at least two or three hundred taels.

Is the second brother crazy? Even he would have to think carefully about such a betrothal gift. I only have five taels of silver at home, and I have to borrow the rest. Is this? Can the second brother's family afford it? Have you considered the feelings of your three nephews and others?

After a long silence, he asked: "How much do you want to borrow, second brother?"

The second uncle looked embarrassed and found it difficult to speak. The second aunt recalled that Gu Yu had killed four wild boars some time ago to buy money. Today, she came to the village and asked about it. Those noble people gave Gu Yu’s family a lot of good things. .

Mentally scratching at the money that the Gu Wu family had saved over the years, he felt confident and said, "We want to borrow a hundred taels."

"Ahem!" Gu Yu was suddenly choked. When Yang saw this, she scolded: "You are such a big person and you don't pay attention to your meals. Look, you choked yourself." As she said that, she poured a cup for Gu Yu. Bowl of water.

Gu Yu took a sip of water to hide the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Not only was Gu Yu choked, but Gu Wu was also almost choked. He swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty. After a while, he returned to the topic and said, "A while ago, Yu'er did make some money and bought it for the two of them. I have a few pieces of jewelry, and I still have some on hand." He changed the subject and said in a somewhat stern tone: "Let's not talk about whether we have a hundred taels. Even if we do, Tiezhu will be old enough to marry, and Xiaoyu will be eighteen this year. , we also have to prepare for her, and it will cost a lot of money. I can't lend you a hundred taels."

The second sister-in-law really dared to ask and borrowed a hundred taels. Not to mention whether his family had a hundred taels. Even if he did, Gu Wu would not borrow it.

He knew the situation at his wife's house very well, and the money he lent had never been repaid. Borrowing a hundred taels this time was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and he would never come back.

If he was asked to spend such a large sum of money to marry Yang Tiezhu, stop dreaming, he would not borrow it.

Yang was also shocked by her sister-in-law's words and said: "One hundred taels? Sister-in-law, you really dare to say that. Yu'er's father and I can't save a hundred taels in our lives. You guys borrowed a hundred taels as soon as you asked. You really look down on us as a couple." Both have the ability to save money.”

The second uncle sat on the stool, his face flushed, knowing that his wife's words were too strong.
