Chapter 645 What a good deal!

As soon as she shouted, Gu Xiaoxi used directional sound insulation and shielding techniques all around.

Then, no matter how old lady Gu shouted, yelled, or cursed, no sound could be heard from the yard.

And her shout earlier didn't carry far. Someone nearby looked around and then ignored her.

When Mrs. Gu saw that no one came, she shouted even louder.

Shouting was not enough, he rolled on the ground, crawled in the darkness, and twisted his body.

But, no one was watching her performance.

Gu Xiaoxi even went into the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge and ate it while watching Old Lady Gu rolling around.

Gu Yilan pretended not to see it and went back to the living room with her bowl to have breakfast.

Jiang Xiuqing actually saw it too, but like her daughter, she just watched from the side while holding the porridge.

Gu Yimin took a look and ignored it. Instead, he took care of Xiao Jiaoyang and Xiao Xingchen who were drinking milk.

Children are so cute, why should we watch those sad pictures!

"Gu Xiaoxi, you are greedy for money. If you keep doing this, you will be struck by lightning one day."

Seeing that no one came to watch and her voice was almost hoarse, Mrs. Gu simply got up.

"It's hard to say who will be struck by lightning. You've lived to such an old age and done so many bad things, it might be you who will be struck by lightning."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and a horrifying thunder exploded above Old Lady Gu's head.

"Bang..."

The sudden thunder frightened Mrs. Gu so much that her body began to shake uncontrollably.

She looked up at the sky. It was a sunny day.

Was that a bolt from the blue just now?

She didn't believe that the thunder would strike her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "This thunder is definitely going to strike you. You unfilial thing, give me the money quickly. I don't want much, just give me 500 yuan."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her indifferently, "Don't even mention 500 yuan, I don't even have 50 cents. Hurry up and leave. If you extort 500 yuan from me, I will send you to the police station."

Old Mrs. Gu was completely dumbfounded. How could this girl Gu Xiaoxi be so stubborn?

"You really won't give me money?" Old Mrs. Gu still refused to give up.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the unwilling look of old lady Gu and suddenly said, "It's not easy for you to get money. Go find Gu Zesheng! If you find Gu Zesheng, I will give you 2,000 yuan."

Mrs. Gu was startled at first, then her eyes flashed with joy, "Are you telling the truth? Are you lying?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes. If you find Gu Zesheng and tell me, I will give you 2,000 yuan. If you find Yan Tiansuan, the fortune teller, I will also give you 2,000 yuan. If you find both of them, you will have 4,000 yuan. This is such a good deal! It's not against the law."

Old Mrs. Gu was very excited. "You mean what you said?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, I keep my word."

"No, you can't just say it alone. Ask your parents to come out and testify, and also write me a letter of acknowledgement." An idea suddenly came to Mrs. Gu's mind.

Gu Xiaoxi shook his head, "I can't write a note to you. You have to trust my character. If I write a note to you and you give it to someone else and something happens, what can I do? I said, as long as you find the whereabouts of these two people, I will give you money. I mean what I say."

"But...but what if you don't give it to me?" Old Mrs. Gu didn't quite believe Gu Xiaoxi.

After all, it was four thousand yuan, yes four thousand yuan!

She had never seen so much money before!

"You haven't even found the people yet, but you've figured out how to ask for the money? Or do you actually know where they are?" Gu Xiaoxi asked thoughtfully.

She just said it casually. Besides wanting to get rid of old lady Gu, she also really hoped that she could find someone.

After all, Mrs. Gu knew a lot of things, and she couldn't be sure, so Mrs. Gu told her everything she knew at that time.

Perhaps, Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered some important clues.

Old Mrs. Gu shook her head. "Although I don't know where that Gu Zesheng is now, as long as he is alive, I will definitely find him. But if I find him, you can't not give me money."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Of course. Don't worry about that. I won't go back on my word."

"Okay. Then give me some money for travel expenses." Old Mrs. Gu suddenly stretched out her hand and asked Gu Xiaoxi for money.

But Gu Xiaoxi still refused. "You haven't found the person yet, and you haven't provided any clues. It's impossible to ask for travel expenses. Who knows if you can handle the personnel issue after taking the so-called travel expenses?"

"You...you girl, why do you think of me like this? I'm just afraid that you will only say that you will give me four thousand, but when the time comes, you won't give a penny to the person you found?" This is what Mrs. Gu thought in her heart, and she also said this.

"Believe it or not." Gu Xiaoxi ignored her and prepared to go back to the kitchen with the bowl.

"You... you can give me a dollar, right? Let me know you're not joking. A dollar won't do you any harm." Mrs. Gu retreated to the next best thing, and finally decided to ask for a dollar and leave.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her, then turned to her mother and said, "Mom, do you have a dollar? Give her one."

"Oh, yes." Jiang Xiuqing immediately took a piece and gave it to Mrs. Gu.

After getting the money, Mrs. Gu stopped making a fuss and just turned around and left.

After the people walked away, Jiang Xiuqing asked in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, do you think this old woman can really find someone?"

"Maybe! It's hard to say. But I always feel that people like her will find the person at all costs for the sake of money. Another reason is that I think she should have met Gu Zesheng. As for that Yan Tiansuan, Mrs. Gu has also met him. Maybe she really found him!"

Jiang Xiuqing thought about it and felt that this was a possibility, so she didn't say anything else.

After breakfast, the family took the children to Grandma Bai’s house, and then went to the cemetery together.

Since they couldn't burn paper money, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends just placed some fruits as a sacrifice.

Grandpa Jiang sat beside his wife's grave and talked to her for a long time.

We stayed in the cemetery for half an hour before going home together.

When they got home, Wei Mingyu and Yan Li were already there.

Gu Xiaoxi started by preparing the ingredients and taught his aunt, mother and aunt how to make medicinal food.

Lu Jiansen left his child to the care of his grandfather and father-in-law, and learned along with them.

Although Xiaoxi can cook and is very good at it, he still likes to cook for her when he has time.

He doesn't have to do it every day, but he must know how to do it.

After more than two hours of busy work, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends had a lunch that was even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve dinner.

After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi was planning to go upstairs for a nap, but after she had only walked up two stairs, a line of large golden characters passed by her eyes.

Advanced Polygraph (requires 500 merit points)

Gu Xiaoxi took a deep breath and gently stroked his forehead.

She has no merit points now. Is the system reminding her in disguise to earn merit points?
