Chapter 213 The Best of Both Worlds (1)
"it is good."

Bai Qingli nodded with a smile, went to find the wooden ladder, and posted a brand new couplet with everyone's help.As long as someone enters the door and sees this couplet, they will know that someone in their family is married!

At noon, Gu Erye and Gu Sanlin brought all the ingredients, and also brought the employees from the brothers and sisters restaurant. The big guys divided the work and made a sumptuous lunch. After eating, they just waited for the villagers to come and start working tonight dinner.

Although the dinner in the evening was not as rich as the banquet tomorrow morning, there were still many dishes and a lot of work, so Gu Datian also invited many villagers to help.But they waited for a long time and did not see the villagers they had made appointments with. Everyone felt very strange. After all, people in the village help each other. Since Gu Datian invited them to help, they also agreed, and they should arrive on time. Shouldn't be late.

"We all live in the same village and live very close together, so we won't be late at all." Sha Gu said doubtfully.

"Did they forget? Shall we ask someone to call again?" Bai Qiaoer was also confused.

Gu Datian shook his head: "You don't need to ask for help. The habit in the village is to ask for help only once. If you come, you will come. If you don't come, you won't come. You don't need to ask again, otherwise you will be called yes." Forced in disguise."

"Then we can't waste time for them, let's prepare by ourselves first." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

She is not very worried. Even if the villagers don't come to help, although there is more work, she believes that they can still prepare the banquet for tonight. These are very familiar, and twenty tables of banquets can still be rushed out.

"Xiao Bei is right. We don't understand why the villagers haven't come yet, and we can't invite them anymore. We can only prepare first. Even if no one comes to help us, we have to prepare the banquet for tonight. Anyway, we have There are more than a dozen people, I believe we can still hold twenty tables of banquets." Gu Sanlin agreed.

Everyone agrees, do what you say, do it, kill pigs, wash vegetables, wash pots, wash dishes, move rented tables and stools...Because of the large number, when they put An hour had passed when all the pre-cooking work was almost ready, but there was still no sign of the villagers coming to help, not even a trace.

The doubts in everyone's hearts deepened. While they were busy with their work, they couldn't help looking at the door. Could it be that the villagers really didn't come to help?What happened?

The villagers have not come for a long time. Could it be that they are dissatisfied with their brothers and sisters?It would be fine if there were a few villagers, but none of the invited villagers came. If the villagers were dissatisfied with their brothers and sisters, it was likely that the majority or even all the villagers were dissatisfied.This is not a good sign, no matter how rich their family is, as long as they want to continue to live in the village, they cannot be enemies of the whole village, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Brother, has our family had any enemies with the villagers recently?" Gu Xiaobei couldn't help asking Gu Datian.

"Of course not." Gu Datian shook his head, frowned, and said, "The ones who have great enmity with us, except for the Dafang, belong to the Zhu family. Now that the Zhu family is gone, the only ones are the Dafang's. We There is no major enmity with other people, and it is impossible to have enmity with the whole village."

"This phenomenon is too strange. I'd better go to the village to have a look. Even if we don't ask them to help, we have to figure out the situation. It's impossible for them not to help for no reason?" Gu Erye said worriedly.

"Don't ask, I know the situation!"

As soon as Gu Erye's words fell, Mu Caixia's elder brother Mu Mu ran into their yard, panting, and said angrily: "The villagers have asked the members of the Gu family to ask for help. Their eldest son and the second My son is also married today!"

"What? Why haven't we heard the news? Did we make a mistake?" Gu Datian's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

"It's not a mistake. We didn't have any villagers to help us just now, so I went to the village to find someone, but I turned around and saw almost no one. It wasn't until I walked to the big house of the Gu family that almost the whole village was found. The villagers were all gathered there, and I found out that the big house of the Gu family was also having a wedding. The eldest son and the second son were married at the same time, and the news was released only temporarily. They invited everyone from the village to their house in the morning. My family helped me." Mu Mu said angrily.

"That shouldn't be. Even if the people in the big house are married, it's impossible for everyone to go to their house to help. Their family's popularity is not as good as ours, and your Mu family's popularity is also good, no Maybe none of our two families and one villager can be invited, and the big house is all gone." Gu Sanlin frowned and shook his head.

"Under the same circumstances, the popularity of our two families is naturally better than that of the Gu family, but the situation is different now. Everyone in the Gu family gives money, and whoever goes to their house to help will give each person two dollars." Two silvers, these silvers are already a lot for the villagers, so they will definitely help." Mu Mu eagerly explained.

"No way? Everyone who goes to help will give two taels of silver. That would cost hundreds of taels of silver, which is a lot of money." Gu Changjue looked incredulous: "How could they With so much money?"

"That's because the Gu family suddenly became rich. Before the Chinese New Year, several sons of the Gu family went out suddenly. They came back after the Chinese New Year but brought back a lot of money. Now they have only been back for four or five days. Many people don't know This information." Mu Mu said again.

"I've heard some information about this matter in the past two days, but because we have nothing to do with Dafang, and I think it's not credible, so I didn't pay attention to it anymore. I didn't expect it to be true." Gu Datian was shocked.

"But they are too strange, right? Why did they suddenly get married after earning so much money? This is so sudden. Not only did we not get the news, even the villagers may have gotten the news this morning." Gu Erye always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

"What's so strange about this? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the first wife of the Gu family targeting your second wife." Bai Qingli, who had been standing by and listening to them, sneered.

Gu Xiaobei nodded: "Yes, they suddenly announced the marriage of the eldest son and the second son, and suddenly paid the villagers to help, so they wanted to catch us by surprise. If they can get the money, the villagers will naturally We are happy to help, even if we know it, we can’t blame them. After all, they are here to make money. We can’t stop the villagers from making money, right? Besides, even if the villagers are a bit unkind, we don’t blame them. What is the solution, are we going to make enemies of the whole village? Now the whole village has gone to Dafang to help!"
