Chapter 23 The Greedy Man
Gu Xi was about to speak, but her arm was pulled tightly. The sister-in-law looked haggard and shook her head at her to signal her. Gu Xi noticed that helplessness, pain, and grievance appeared in her expressionless eyes!Seeing this, she was even more convinced that this matter was definitely not what these people said.Gu Xi thought to her parents who were still being bullied by those relatives at home, seeing that her sister-in-law didn't want to pursue it, and she didn't bother to talk about it!
It's just that she wants to leave, but others don't want to let her! .

Led by a young man, four or five adult men and women blocked the way ahead. Seeing this, Lu Xiang looked even more frightened. Gu Xi felt his sister-in-law grasping her hand, and turned her head to give a comforting look!
Looking back at the group of men and women again, she lost even the basic perfunctory expression, and sneered coldly, "My sister-in-law just escaped from death, and she was so frightened by you, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not being sympathetic to the government , let you bear the crime of bullying goodness!"

"Village chief..." The man was told by Gu Xi, and immediately looked at the most powerful person in his group, that is, the old man who was the first to accuse Lu Xiang earlier!
These days, the official is always the biggest, no matter who mentions the government, it is taboo!

Gu Xi followed the other party's gaze and also looked at the old man, only to realize that this man turned out to be the village head of Shili Village.The head of a village slanders good people indiscriminately like this, Gu Xi already has no good feelings for this village!
The old man ignored the man, and stared at Gu Xi instead. He underestimated this girl, she seemed young, but she could speak with a single mouth.

With his hands behind his back, he said calmly, "Evidence is important in everything. Even if you sue the Emperor City without evidence, you are wrong and we are right. Besides, there are so many people present, who do you think the official will believe?"

Obviously, Gu Xi's threat didn't work, but was successfully counter-threat!

When Gu Xi heard this sentence, he almost laughed out of breath. He really didn't know if he didn't fight, but he was shocked when he knew it!If it wasn't for today's face-to-face meeting, I wouldn't know that the people in this village are all virtuous, those relatives who make trouble, those neighbors who make trouble for no reason, and this so-called village chief!Isn't it just a disposition!
Since others do not leave a way for her to survive, Gu Xi feels that she doesn't have to worry about anything, looking at the group of people staring at her, she sneered and said, "Since the village chief made such a terrible statement, let's make a statement! At this moment, you have the right to say to us here that it is nothing more than the land of your Shili Village under my feet, and we are also from Shili Village in name, so if we leave here, we will have nothing to do with each other from now on?"

The village chief didn't know why she asked, thought for a moment, but nodded.

Seeing this, Gu Xi laughed, "If this is the case, then please ask the village chief to issue a certificate. From now on, my family will never set foot in Shili Village!"

What!She is leaving Shili Village?
When the others heard this, they all felt that this girl's big talk was not tongue-in-cheek. No one in the village knew how poor Mr. Gu's family was. The house was still the dilapidated house of his younger brother's family. There was no decent furniture in the house, and he ate chaff every day. Vegetables, if this family leaves, I'm afraid they won't even have the bark to eat!

At that moment, many people looked at Gu Xi and sneered, as if they were laughing at her overreaching.

"Do you know the consequences of what you said at this moment? If you leave Shili Village, the life and death of your family will have nothing to do with Shili Village!" Looking at Gu Xi and said.

"So what!" Without being bullied by others, she has the ability to support her family, so why worry about not being rich?

It's because he has ulterior motives in this question!
Gu Xi didn't ignore the surprise and joy that flashed in this person's eyes when she said to leave just now, he wished that their family would leave early!Lu Xiang was stunned when Gu Xi said that she was going to leave the village. When she realized it, her first thought was to dissuade Gu Xi, but Gu Xi didn't give her a chance to speak. One or two sentences have already decided the matter!

The village head quietly looked at Gu Xi for a few moments before saying, "You said what you said about leaving the village. Now I can go to Gu's house with you. If you can persuade your parents to leave, I promise that I won't let the villagers leave the village." People will trouble you again!"

Between Lu Xiang and Gu Xi, the calm and calm Gu Xi is considered to have the most right to speak. After watching her finish speaking, the village chief raised his head and looked at Gu Xi contemptuously, as if he believed that the Gu family would not leave The same, and the reason why he said this was just to use this to humiliate the family!
Gu Xi nodded indifferently, and Lu Xiang shook her arm a few times to convey her meaning. If it was because her family was forced to leave the village, then she was willing to let everyone dispose of her, and she could not watch her family wander around!

Lu Xiang's body was already trembling with anxiety. When the village chief took the lead to go to Gu's house, Gu Xi had just had time to look back at her, but she saw her looking at him with guilt, and her face that had just recovered was pale and deepened Suddenly, I felt a little distressed!

Sighing, he gently wiped away her tears with his clean sleeves. Seeing her staring at him intently, he finally comforted him, "Today they are so close together that they don't treat our family as people from the same village. Why should we bother?" Stay to disgrace yourself!"

"I just don't know if my sister-in-law believes in me, believes in me and takes everyone out of here to live a better life?"

"I...I believe it!" Lu Xiang bit her lip and nodded her head, a deep red mark was bitten on her pale red lips, but her eyes were extremely bright!

letter!Why don't you believe it? When she rescued her regardless of the danger, when she stood in front of her and faced everyone's questioning in order to protect her, Gu Xi's image in her heart seemed to rise. This sister-in-law who had always been taken care of by her didn't know Unconsciously growing up to this place, it is undeniable that from just now to now, with Gu Xi by her side, she has a sense of security that she has never had before!
When Gu Xi helped his sister-in-law back to the house, the door of her own house was already surrounded. There were constant voices in the crowd, there were whispered discussions, and there were scolding sounds from the center of the crowd.

Hearing the raised voice from a distance, Gu Xi's heart sank. She must have suffered a lot of bullying during the time she just walked away, but luckily her elder brother didn't come out. She saw that the inner door of the main room was closed Yes, probably his parents locked him inside to protect his elder brother!
When the two of them had just reached the periphery of the crowd, they didn't know who said what. The crowd stepped aside, Gu Xi was taken aback, but still walked in. At the same time, the surrounding eyes were on the two of them. Feeling uncomfortable, she approached her, but Gu Xi didn't affect her. She went straight to her parents, checked the situation of the two elders first, and found that there were no traces of being bullied, so she was relieved!

"Master Gu, the one who said to leave the village was your daughter, didn't you always like this adopted daughter, did you leave the village as she said today?"

As soon as Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, someone spoke. Obviously, what he had said in the deep pool had been conveyed by someone. At this time, that person was looking at Gu's father and mother with gloating face. Gu Xi subconsciously looked at Gu's mother. Noticing that she was surprised, he turned his gaze to her, "Xi'er..."

Lu Xiang was gently pulled by Gu Xi and squatted next to Gu Mu. She was hugged tightly as soon as she approached. Oh, mother really can't bear it..."

In the end, it turned into a cry, and the voice was full of pain. Gu Xi, who originally said this was just to get Mother Gu to agree to the family to leave, felt a little bit unbearable at the moment!
"Why are you crying? You still have the face to cry here, and you don't even look at what my second kid is being rumored to say, and you don't even look at how much your second kid is bullying your second daughter-in-law!" Gu's second family is also Gu Xi's aunt Li Chunxiang!At this moment, the pain of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not only did not arouse her sympathy, but instead provoked a scolding meal.

And the scolding didn't end there!
Li Chunxiang deliberately walked out of the crowd and stood in front of everyone, with his back turned to the Gu family, talking again incessantly!

"Everyone may wish to comment too. Mrs. Gu came to my house yesterday to borrow rice. I lent it to him for the sake of being part of the same family. Who knew that his daughter-in-law who hated the poor and loved the rich was shameless that night. Came to my house to seduce our second boy, but when people saw it, he bit back and said he was bullied by our second boy, and now the whole village knows, how will our second boy find a wife?"

After Li Chunxiang's high-spirited words, everyone began to discuss, and their gazes on Lu Xiang became dazzling, and many of them were moved by Li Chunxiang and raised their voices to criticize Lu Xiang.

Gu Xi reacted quickly and blocked her sister-in-law, but she was a little surprised!It turned out that the person who was slandered by the villagers for having an affair with others turned out to be her cousin in name! ?

It's just that no matter how she looks at it, she feels that this matter is not what she said, on the contrary, what her sister-in-law said is true, but she is not stupid enough to argue with this woman directly.

After a long time, Li Chunxiang seemed to be tired of talking, only to find that there was no movement in the Gu family, calmed down and remembered the reason for coming, and then pretended to lament a few times, and invited a person from the crowd, "Village chief, tell me what to do with this matter Do?"

The one who was pulled out was the old man who had just persuaded the Gu family to leave Shili Village. After being invited out by Li Chunxiang, he immediately put on an appearance of an elder, and his gaze swept over Gu Xi's family with regret and pity.

"The matter of Lu Xiang... There are other people who testify that what Gu's family said is true. It stands to reason that those who do not observe women's morality in Shili Village should be driven out of the village, but the Gu family themselves said that they would leave together. So I think if Boss Gu and his family leave together voluntarily, the village will not pursue this matter any longer!"

This sounded nice, and he was thinking about Gu Xi's family all the time, but he used inexplicable 'witness' to pour sewage all over Lu Xiang's body, which was completely justifying Li Chunxiang's second son, and then he used Gu Xi to blame The fact of leaving was used as an introduction, and it seemed to force him to leave, but Gu Xi didn't intend to stay at all!
But I disdain the village head even more in my heart!
What the village chief said made Gu Mu look a little lonely, she opened her mouth a few times but couldn't make a sound, her face was sad, Lu Xiang saw it, and squeezed her hand comfortingly, but her eyes subconsciously turned to Gu Xi's side. There seems to be a ray of light jumping in the vicissitudes of the eyes, and in that light is the figure of Gu Xi!Just as Gu Xi was considering whether to take advantage of the crowd and ask for a certificate that he would no longer have any relationship with Shili Village, Li Chunxiang from Gu's second family turned his eyes and suddenly walked in front of the family...

"Sister-in-law...cough cough!" The person with the loud voice wanted to pretend to be 'soft and kind', but unexpectedly the voice was sharp, and it broke his work as soon as he uttered it. Xianshan didn't express it, but it was a bit nondescript, so he just said it Thick-skinned, pretending it never happened, he continued, "Sister-in-law, just take it as the last compensation for the family. When you leave Shili Village, the money and rice you borrowed before will be used as separation expenses, so in the future, our two families Let’s go our own way, we will treat it as if we don’t have you as relatives, and you don’t want to rely on our family anymore, there is a village chief here today, let him be the witness!”

This aunt in my family is not a very "magnanimous" person, and at this moment she said that she doesn't need to pay back the money, Gu Xi was surprised, but then she heard her mother's slightly angry voice, "Sister and sister, what you said is unavoidable Wrong, although our family is poor, we also know that when our parents left, we left a few acres of Susukida to the three of us. We have been in poor health for these years, so we temporarily rented it out to you, but we said it was rented out, but we never received it. Your rent. Borrowing rice is nothing more than borrowing two or two meters from you. How could you be so cruel as to swallow all of the taels of silver you want!"
