Chapter 166 Is it safe to go to the city at night?
This is the divorce agreement between Zhang and Gu Ping. It clearly states that Zhang was unfaithful and had an affair with another man and gave birth to Gu Changlin. The two of them are getting divorced. Zhang paid five taels of silver as compensation and left the house empty-handed. Although Gu Changsen is not Gu Ping's biological son, Gu Ping is willing to keep Gu Changsen.
These were all signed by Zhang under their supervision. Zhang's family members were not good people either, and they probably knew about it, so the old patriarch Gu wanted to get this done as soon as possible.
Seeing that they were going to the government office to get the official seal, Ma Weiwei said, "Old Patriarch Gu, if you're worried, please have Uncle Yuntian go with us in the carriage to the government office now."
"Miss, it's almost dark. How can the people from the yamen stamp our documents?" Gu Yuntian smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, we can get it done once we go there." Ma Wei vowed.
Clan leader Gu and Clan leader Zhang were all curious about Ma Weiwei's identity. Gu An said, "Yuntian, listen to Weiwei. This girl is very down-to-earth and won't lie."
Ma Weiwei smiled embarrassedly when she saw Uncle Gu An praising her so much.
Since Gu An said so, Gu Yuntian would not question it. He took the two divorce papers and followed Ma Weiwei and her servant to the backyard.
"Is it safe to go to the city at night? Gu An, you should go with us!" The old patriarch Gu knew that Gu An had some skills.
Gu He chuckled after hearing this and said, "Old Patriarch, don't underestimate that little girl. She is no ordinary girl. Not only is she agile in her legs and feet, but she is also very strong. Even Dongming and Nanming combined are no match for her."
"Yes, Miss Weiwei is very powerful!" Gu Nanming nodded.
After hearing what they said, Patriarch Gu finally felt relieved.
Now that the work was done, they stood up and prepared to go back, but were stopped by Gu He.
"Xiaoxi just said that she is going to cook for everyone. No one is allowed to leave!" After saying this, Gu He pressed the old patriarch Zhang on the chair.
Gu Dongming also pushed the old patriarch Gu back.
The two old clan leaders felt a little embarrassed. It was originally their fault for not handling the matter properly, causing Gu Ping to suffer for so many years.
Moreover, with four mouths to feed, although Gu He's family is now living a much better life, there are still a lot of mouths to feed at home.
"Okay, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so just listen to Xiaoxi. Besides, our Xiaoxi is becoming more and more successful, and you elders will be happy too, right?" Chai said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, Xiaoxi has made progress, we are all happy, happy!" The old patriarch of the Zhang family laughed.
He was lucky enough to get some help, after all, his surname was not Gu, and this was Gu He giving him face.
The old patriarch of the Gu family also laughed after hearing this. It was unprecedented for their Gu family to have a female doctor, and it was indeed a matter of pride.
So, everyone stayed.
Gu Xiaoxi was cooking in the kitchen, and Chai and Afeng went over to help.
Gu Xiaoxi was very skillful and lit two stoves at the same time. In less than half an hour, the delicious meal was ready.
Usually, women and children sit at one table, and men sit at another.
But, there are a lot of people tonight, so the younger generations sit at one table and the elders sit at another.
Gu Yuan, Chen Shiliu, and Gu Ping were all able to sit up, and were all carried to the kitchen to eat together.
Gu Ping, who was originally in a very bad mood, felt a little better because of the lively atmosphere.
Because his wound had not yet healed completely, Gu Xiaoxi asked him not to drink for the time being, and he agreed very obediently.
After dinner, a fire was burning in the kitchen, and the old clan leaders were chatting with the uncles in the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxi and others were busy with their own things in the yard.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Xiaoxi asked Brother Changsen to carry his second uncle to the room and make him lie down. Sitting for too long would have a certain impact on the wound.
When Gu Changsen heard Xiaoxi say this, he hurriedly carried his father back into the house.
Just as the person was carried in, Ma Weiwei and the others came back.
Gu Yuntian didn't expect that this girl was so capable. She took him in through the back door of the yamen. He didn't know what this girl said to the yamen runners. He had never been treated like this before.
The bailiff didn't even ask a single question. He took the two divorce documents and went into the inner courtyard. After a while, he brought out the stamped divorce documents.
They rushed back with the divorce papers and soon returned to Gu He's house.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw them come back, she heated up the food she had left for them.
Patriarch Gu was also very surprised to see his eldest son come back so quickly. After seeing that the seal was really stamped on it, he finally felt relieved.
Patriarch Zhang secretly glanced at Ma Weiwei, curious about the identity of this girl.
Gu Yuntian gave one of the divorce documents to the head of the Zhang family and the other to Gu Ping.
After everyone's counseling, Gu Ping no longer had any major emotional problems. He took the divorce papers, folded them, and placed them under his pillow.
"Try to be more positive about everything. Changsen is so hardworking. Your life will get better and better." Seeing that Gu Ping was in a good mood, Gu Yuntian comforted him with a few words and went to the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoxi accompanied them to eat, and seeing Ma Weiwei's happy expression, she knew that everything was going well.
After waiting for Gu Yuntian to finish his dinner, both the old patriarch Gu and the old patriarch Zhang stood up.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Gu An drove the carriage to send them back.
On the way, the two old clan leaders began to inquire about Ma Weiwei's identity.
"Gu An, that girl has connections in the yamen, right?" Patriarch Zhang spoke first.
Gu An certainly understood what they meant and replied with a smile, "I really don't know these things. The girl came with Master Chen, whose uncle is Chen Shiliu.
As you can see, Chen Shiliu is Xiaoxi's patient and needs to recuperate here. The two of them have never lived in the village before, so they followed him out of curiosity."
When the old patriarch of the Zhang family heard that Gu Ping came here with a patient, he thought it was normal that he didn't know.
However, the old patriarch of the Gu family did not think so.
Xiaoxi is a cautious person and would definitely not let too many strangers live in her home. Gu An either didn't want the old patriarch Zhang to know, or Xiaoxi didn't allow him to say it.
That’s all!
If you are not allowed to say it, then don't say it. Anyway, it's enough to know that Xiaoxi has some connections in the yamen.
The road in the village was bumpy and the carriage was shaking. In less than a moment, Gu An had sent all his family members back.
After sending the two of them off, Gu An went to his second brother's house to take a look.
There was no sound of talking in the yard. The yard door opened with a slight push. The yard was in a mess and the doors of the houses were all open.
This damn Zhang!
He cursed in his heart and went in to take a look. He found that the door of every room was open. He lit a tinder and checked each room one by one. Every room was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
"Damn it, damn it!" He cursed, walked out of the yard, drove the carriage back and told his elder brother and others about this.
