Chapter 53
The little girl was not very old, but she cried loudly.

When she shouted like this, not only the people on the road, but also the neighbors around could hear her clearly.

Aunt Liu quickly opened the door and ran out, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Qiao Lian didn't speak.

In other words, she had no expression from the beginning, and it was Gu Ge who was crying and wailing all the time.

Until Gu Shao rushed forward, took Gu Ge with one hand, and hugged her into his arms with the other.

Qiao repeatedly instinctively wanted to resist.

But the man's strength was enormous, and he embraced her with irresistibility.

"What happened." Gu Shao frowned tightly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Who bullied you?"

Qiao Lian felt a little shaken in his heart.

I don't know if it's because of the masculine breath with strong hormones, or because of his immediate comfort.

Fortunately, she soon regained her composure, pushed Gu Shao away forcefully, and instead supported Aunt Liu's hand.

"Little Qiao, what's the matter with you?" Aunt Liu looked back and forth nervously at her body, making sure that there were no missing arms or legs, and no obvious blood stains, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell Auntie, What's the problem?"

Gu Shao smiled wryly at the side, and began to comfort the little girl instead.

"Auntie, it's nothing serious." Qiao Lian lowered his head, his words choked with sobs, "I accidentally ran into a guest in Sixi Tower and spilled soup on his clothes. I have to pay 100 taels of silver."

"Ah?" Aunt Liu turned pale with shock, "100 taels, can this... this... clothes be washed?"

Qiao wept again and again and shook his head, "I said at the time that I could wash it for him, but he said that the clothes are made of natural silk, and they will be discarded after washing. The 100 taels of silver is still a depreciated price, and the original price is 400 taels."

Aunt Liu stood there dumbfounded.

Three 400 taels of silver, for the farmers, they may not be able to earn it for a lifetime.

Now, Xiao Qiao wants to pay him so much money...

She was flustered and at a loss, "What can I do, what can I do...Aunt...Auntie still has 20 money here, if it's not enough, you can take it and pay it back first."

Qiao Lianlian was sobbing with his head down, but when he heard this, his heart was shocked again.

"Auntie..." She raised her head, the tip of her nose was sore, "No, really no."

"You child, why don't you see me? If you don't pay him money, what will he do if he sues the officials? When the time comes to arrest you, the five children will suffer." Aunt Liu sighed, "Take out the money, Auntie I also feel distressed, you can make money after all, don't be alienated from your aunt, use it first."

"Auntie, you keep it." Qiao wiped away tears again and again, "I don't need this money."

She was telling the truth.

Aunt Liu mistakenly thought that she was going to die with others, so she waved her hands in fright, "Repay what you should, you can still earn money if you lose it, and you will really lose it if you lose it, Xiao Qiao."

"No, auntie, we have money in our hands, so we can pay it back." Qiao laughed through tears again and again, "Besides, we have other ways."

"Any other way?" Aunt Liu was at a loss.

Qiao paused again and again, and saw that several neighbors around her were listening with pricked ears. She smiled and said slowly, "Auntie forgot, I have my husband's family, and my elder brother, elder sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law. They are all Gu family, you can't just watch me and my children suffer."

"This..." Aunt Liu's eyes widened, and she wanted to say something, Xiao Qiao, take care of yourself, if the Gu family really treated you as a family, they wouldn't have kicked you out in the first place.

But Qiao made a series of glances, and Aunt Liu closed her mouth again.

"Don't worry, Auntie, the Gu family will definitely not just ignore it, I'll go over there to borrow money." Qiao said again and again, stretching out his hand to Gu Ge.

The little girl had been coaxed by her father a long time ago, and now she hugged her father's neck so cutely, it made Gu Shao think that the little girl finally kissed him.

But when Qiao repeatedly stretched out his hand, the little girl immediately let go of him, and threw herself into the arms of her stepmother without hesitation.

Gu Shao sighed in his heart.

He didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't want to ask any more.

Ever since Qiao repeatedly insisted on not wanting Aunt Liu's money, he felt that something was wrong. Thinking about how smart and powerful this woman is - first, she would not bump into people recklessly, and second, even if she bumped into her, she would not let anyone blackmail her.

Just know that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems to the naked eye.

I just didn't expect Xiao Ge'er to be so clever and cooperative.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, the family went home and started cooking.

However, the news quickly spread throughout the Gu family village as if it had grown wings.

Two days ago, the old couple of the Gu family who proudly made a lot of money to repair a new house were unlucky. They broke their clothes and now they are going to be blackmailed by them to pay 300 taels of silver.

I heard that Gu's third daughter-in-law came back crying with her child.

I heard that the third child of the Gu family has started to divorce his wife.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Gu's Village is a village with a hundred families. There are good people in it who are as honest as Aunt Liu, and naturally there are also bad people.

Like Aunt Zhang and others, there is a group of people who gossip, and there is a group of people who usually look very kind, and envy you when you make money, but when you are unlucky, she starts to be happy, and even adds insult to injury.

Qiao Lianlian was waiting for this group of people.

Her original crying complaints, which were true and false, have almost become [-]% true after being spread by this wave of people.

But even so, the Gu family still didn't believe it.

"Yesterday we only talked about building a house, but today this happened. Don't let the old three set us up." Mrs. Gu was suspicious.

Gu Wei also nodded, "It's what she says, we don't care, if we really borrow money, we won't give it, at worst, let her sue the judge."

It's no loss to them anyway.

Until—the next day Joe came to the door again and again.

A family of seven, including Gu Cheng, stood in a row.

The battle was so huge that people had been staring at them from the time they left the old house, and some bold villagers followed, as if they were watching the excitement.

"Mother, is mother there?" Qiao Lian was the first to knock on the door.

Mrs. Gu was sleeping, so annoyed that she almost cursed.

Mrs. Gu doesn't know how to get up, so whoever loves to take pictures will take pictures.

In the end, Second Aunt Gu couldn't take it anymore and got up and opened the door.

As a result, the whole person was stunned.

What are these... all these people here for?

"So it's the second sister-in-law." Qiao Lian smiled politely, and before the second sister-in-law could react, she squeezed in through the crack of the door with Xiao Ge'er in her arms.

Behind her, Gu Que, Gu Cheng, Gu Zhong, and Gu Shao, who was holding Gu Lou, also walked in in sequence.

Others are afraid to come in, but that's okay, they can listen with their ears open.

In this big farm yard, as long as it is not deliberately concealed, there are almost no secrets.

What's more, Gu Cheng, who was walking at the end, even opened the door of Gu's family.
