Chapter 48: Gu Zhuzhu's gossip, Gu family building a house

    Seeing that the Zhao family is so mysterious, Gu Shuixiu thought she wanted to say something big, but she heard her say, "You don't know about Gu Zhenzhu?"

    When Mr. Zhao said it, he peeked at Dong Chenghu with a look of taboo.

    "It's the woman who was engaged to Chenghu before."

    Dong Chenghu realized it later, and said with a straight face: "Mother-in-law, if you have anything to say, don't worry about me, I haven't even seen what the other party looks like, that man But it has nothing to do with me!"

    Dong Chenghu's appearance of distancing himself made Zhao extremely satisfied.

    "It's a good thing not to be associated with a white-eyed wolf like that!"

    Gu Shuixiu looked puzzled, "What's the matter? Did she make something wrong again?"

    To say that Gu Shuixiu knew Gu Zhenzhu, she is extremely selfish and can be said to be unprofitable, and those who are useful to her act like alms, arrogant and reluctant to talk to others To be friends, once you've used people out, you can't help but get to know each other.

    In the beginning, Gu Shuixiu was smitten by her like this, but fortunately, Gu Shuixiu was lucky to meet a person like Dong Chenghu who knew both cold and heat.

    "You didn't contribute money to your father a while ago, you were seeing a doctor, you were looking for a job for the county government, and you also sent a lot of food to our family. The people who asked about him knew it. Now everyone is smoking from our ancestral grave and got such a good son-in-law.

     

    The more people said this, the more Gu Laifu and Huang Shi had opinions on Gu Zhuzhu. As soon as the couple got together, they went to the town to find Gu Zhenzhu, saying that they were watching Gu Zhenzhu, but in fact they were going to Gu Zhenzhu's in-law's house to fight the autumn wind.

    In the beginning, Gu Zhenzhu's husband's family was quite polite. As long as Gu Laifu went there, he would always bring something back, and gradually there would be less gossip in the village.

    Gu Zhuzhu just gave birth to a child a while ago, but unfortunately it is a daughter. Gu Zhenzhu's in-laws have some opinions, but Gu Laifu is addicted to Qiufeng, and she didn't realize the problem at all.

    After a few times, Gu Zhenzhu's in-law stopped giving Gu Laifu anything, and Gu Laifu went a few times and his face became more and more ugly. In addition, Gu Zhenzhu's mother-in-law said to her face, 'Your daughter just doesn't lay eggs. The hen', this heart is more and more aggrieved.

    I thought it was time to stop, but who knew that Gu Laifu didn't know where he heard the news that Gu Zhuzhu's husband had Longyang addiction, so he didn't touch her at all, Gu Zhuzhu could be pregnant with this daughter Still using the means.

    This is good, Gu Laifu finally found an excuse to go to the grocery store. He also demanded fifty taels of silver from Gu Zhuzhu's father-in-law as compensation, or went to the county government to sue them for cheating on the marriage.

    Gu Zhuzhu's father-in-law can afford to open a grocery store, and naturally it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He said on the spot that he would quit Gu Zhuzhu, the reason is that it is not filial to have three or no descendants. of silver.

    Now Gu Laifu finally understands why he could get things from the grocery store every time he came before. His feelings are digging a hole for him here.

    The two fought on the spot. Of course, Gu Laifu couldn’t fight against the other family. She was very satisfied with the marriage and asked Gu Laifu not to bother about her husband's husband.

    The visitor conveyed Gu Zhuzhu's words and left, not even a single copper plate was left, which completely chilled the hearts of the Gu Laifu family.

    That day, Mrs. Huang sat on the threshold crying and scolding Gu Zhuzhu as not a human being, raising a white-eyed wolf or something. It was ugly, Uncle Gu also had a gloomy face, Later, unable to stand the villagers' pointing and pointing, he cut off ties with Gu Zhenzhu in front of the big guy.

    You said it was a mess! "

    "Deserving it! Father Gu should be half-dead in his heart now! He broke his promise for selfishness, but in the end, it was a chicken-and-egg fight, and he lost his reputation."

    Gu Shuixiu only felt very relieved, and since she traveled through the world, she became more and more convinced of ghosts and gods. She always believed that people are watching the sky, and those who do wrong will always have retribution .

    Gu Mingde has always been a kind and pure person, he sighed deeply after hearing what Zhao said, "I still respected my uncle before this kind of thing happened, but now I see him on the road, he They all go straight to the detour, and it is estimated that they are afraid to see me, you say that everyone is old, what is this tossing plan?"

     

    Gu Shuixiu hurriedly chatted with Mud, "By the way, mom and dad, save your money next year and see if you can push the house up and renovate it after the autumn harvest. I asked in the town to build a new one. A two-cart brick house is only seven or eight taels of silver. If the time is not enough, we can lend it to you first. After the house is built, it is easy to talk about marriage.

    If our family is like this to say hello to Daniel, it will definitely not be a good family. Anyway, Daniel is still young, it doesn't matter if you wait for two more years. "

    When it comes to the big event of building a house, Gu Mingde and Mrs. Zhao at the same time forget what happened just now, and only the word building a house is left in their minds.

    The Zhao family never dared to think about building a house, and it was a brick house, so when she heard that it cost seven or eight taels of silver, she cringed, and said with an embarrassed face: "Shuixiu, I know what you mean. , I also understand that after the house is built, it is better to say kisses to your younger brothers, but our family just has some extra money, so we can't spend it all!"

    Gu Shuixiu helped her forehead, this is really the thought of a small peasant woman.

      In windy, rainy and snowy weather, old adobe houses are not safe.

    Although the brick house is a lot more expensive, once it is built, it will not be a problem to live for decades, and it is clean and tidy. This is a matter of blessing for future generations.

    Da Niu has five hundred taels of silver a month, and he saves six taels of silver in a year, and the one sent back will always have five taels of silver. It will be built in less than two years. As long as we lend it to you first, we will start building it after the autumn harvest in the new year, so that we can have a warm winter next year.

    The money will be repaid slowly by the Daniel. "

    Zhao wanted to refuse, but she had no right to speak about such a big matter, so she had to turn her attention to Gu Mingde.

    Gu Mingde knew Gu Shuixiu's family background, knew that seven or eight taels of silver was nothing to her, and building a house was a big deal, Gu Shuixiu was right, building a solid brick house is better than that The adobe house that cannot last a few years is strong. Immediately gritted his teeth.

    "Okay! Just listen to Shuixiu, build brick and tile houses! After the spring ploughing next year, Erniu and I will make some more baskets to buy. No matter what, I can save more money."
