Chapter 76 Performing a handstand and drinking urine in public?

The Gu family has always had a bad reputation in Yueya Village.

When the gossipers in the village heard about their family affairs, they couldn't help but make a few quick-witted jokes.

People of this era have few entertainment activities. When they have nothing to do after dinner, they like to chat in groups of three or four in the village.

Hearing those teasing words, Ye Shouyi frowned tightly.

"You must have made a mistake. The Gu Qijiao I'm looking for is a woman who is very good at writing.

About a month ago, our magazine accepted her manuscript and published her article.

This time I came to see her to make a long-term contract with her. Could you please tell me where her home is? Thank you! "

Ye Shou was not a good-tempered person, but he was anxious to find Gu Qijiao, so he explained to the villagers in a friendly manner.

Most of the people in the village are still very simple and honest, they just don't speak as fast as those gossipers.

Now that Ye Shouyi had explained the reason for looking for Gu Qijiao, the kind-hearted person asked his grandson to take him to Gu Qijiao's home.

With someone leading the way, Ye Shou followed.

However, those gossipers refused to give up and continued to gossip about Gu Qijiao and the man with glasses.

"Gu Qijiao can write articles and publish them in magazines. It's hilarious. This little brat can't even tell a lie properly."

"That's right. I heard that to publish an article in a magazine or newspaper, one must be a learned person. Is Gu Qijiao considered a learned person?"

"What kind of knowledge is that? She's just a junior high school student. Can she write an article just by knowing a few words? What a joke! If she can write an article, I will stand upside down and drink my own urine in public."

"It's not good for you to make up stories about her behind her back. Gu Qijiao had good grades in school, so it's possible that she can write essays."

"Alright, alright, what are you arguing about? Didn't that young man just go there? If we all follow him, we'll know what's going on!"

When one person takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit. People love to watch the fun, unless they are busy with other things and don't have time to watch.

Not long after Ye Shou left, a large group of onlookers followed him in a mighty procession and walked towards the yard of Gu Qijiao's house.

Zhu Cui was sitting at the entrance of the village. The wound on her head had almost healed, and she really wanted to go and see what was going on.

But thinking of the bows she had made in front of the Gu family’s gate before, she stopped in dismay, turned around and went home.

Ye Shou asked the child who was leading the way while walking with him:

"Little friend, can you tell uncle about Gu Qijiao, what does she do and what kind of person is she?"

The child walking with Ye Shouxiao was called Erzhu, about eight years old. Hearing Ye Shouxiao's words, he answered without hesitation:

"Gu Qijiao is the only girl in our village who has attended junior high school. She is very good at studying, but she is not a very good person. She married an educated youth when she first climbed into bed, and everyone in the village laughed at her!

She and her parents often steal and act like spoiled brats in the village. They have a bad reputation and don't interact much with the villagers. "

Hearing Erzhu's words, Ye Shou's heart sank a little bit. The reason why he asked Erzhu those questions was because he felt that children would not lie.

Ye Shouyi is the second generation of an official in the Beijing circle. His family had arranged a career for him long ago, but he was unwilling to listen to his family's arrangements and founded the "Moon" magazine with his own efforts.

In the beginning, his family was very reluctant about him taking up this career, but it was only two months ago that they relented and agreed to let Ye Shou start his own business.

However, his family had made a request to Ye Shou, he had to get "Moon" back on track and make a profit within a month.

Otherwise, he will have to follow the arrangements of his family.

It is because Ye Shou is eager to make achievements now that he does not want to miss any opportunity for success.

He came to Crescent Village in a hurry, without any preparation, like a headless fly.

Now he began to doubt whether he was just trying desperate measures.

Perhaps, just as Zhao Qiulan said, Gu Qijiao just had a sudden inspiration and a moment of good luck to write that story.

Then he came all the way here, pinning the sales of "Moon" on her, and even put the finalization of the manuscript aside. Isn't it a bit too desperate?

But now that he was already here, he could only meet Gu Qijiao first.

The entrance to the village was not far from Gu Qijiao's home. After turning a few corners, it only took a few minutes to get there.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu's courtyard, Erzhu shouted to the inside of the courtyard:

"Sister Qijiao, someone is looking for you!"

At this time, the four people in the Gu family courtyard had just finished their meal, and Gu Qijiao had just put on her apron and was about to collect the dishes.

Hearing Erzhu's voice, she put down the bowl in her hand and walked out of the house. As soon as she came, she saw Ye Shouyi wearing glasses and stepping into the yard.

Gu Qijiao frowned, because she didn't know the man in front of her. She looked at Ye Shou in confusion and asked:

"Excuse me, are you looking for me?"

To be honest, when Ye Shou saw Gu Qijiao for the first time, he felt a little disillusioned, because this image was quite different from the person he imagined.

He thought that Gu Qijiao should have a neat bob and wear a neat blue educated youth uniform, which would give people a quiet and intellectual feeling at first glance.

But the Gu Qijiao in front of him had two pigtails, a patched apron, and two faint highland red spots on her face. She looked like a country girl.

Although he felt disappointed in his heart, Ye Shou did not show it on his face. He smiled politely at Gu Qijiao and said:

"Hello, are you Gu Qijiao? I'm Ye Shou, the editor-in-chief of "Moon" magazine. I came all the way from Yanjing to see you."

Gu Qijiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized who was in front of her.

"Yes, I am Gu Qijiao. What do you want to talk to me about?"

She was indeed a little confused. Didn't the editor usually send letters to ask for manuscripts? Why did the editor-in-chief have to come all the way to her house?

After Ye Shou confirmed that the person in front of him was Gu Qijiao, he took out several readers' letters he had brought with him and placed them on the table in the yard. He said:

"Well, you wrote a short story and published it in our magazine.

After the magazine was published, our magazine received a lot of feedback from readers. Most of the readers hoped to rewrite the ending of the story.

The matter was quite urgent, and I was afraid that I couldn't explain it clearly in the letter. Also, it would take a long time to send a letter back and forth, so I came here in person.

Then you should take a look at these letters written by readers first, and then you will know what the situation is! "

After listening to Ye Shou's words, Gu Qijiao walked to the stone table and picked up the letter on the table.

At this time, Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao's parents came out of the house. They stood behind Gu Qijiao and watched her open the letter on the table.

The entrance to the Gu family courtyard was gradually surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.

At first, these people just gathered at the door to watch the fun, but later, seeing that Gu Qijiao was still reading a letter and there was no movement in the yard, they all rushed into the yard.

For a moment, the Gu family's small yard became a little crowded.

Seeing Gu Qijiao's attitude, the villagers began to believe that she really published the article in the magazine. A man in a shirt said to the second-rate bald guy next to him:

"Bald brother, tell me, when are you going to perform a handstand and drink urine show?"
