Chapter 56 Still a Step Late
Mo Shili didn't bother to pay attention to this loser and quickly chased after him.
The ox cart was not moving very fast. When she followed the hoof prints on the ground, she saw the ox cart, but she couldn't see the driver clearly.
Damn it!
It's still a step too late.
It’s okay, as long as I live here I’ll have a chance. She turned around depressedly and went back to the yard gate.
The two families next door also got up. When they opened the door, they saw Mrs. Mo without even wearing a coat, arguing with Gu Ximing standing at the door.
No!
This wasn't a quarrel; it was simply Mrs. Mo scolding Gu Ximing.
"You are such a loser. They are doing business behind your back to make money, and you get nothing."
"I was so blind to marry a loser like you!"
"What are you still doing here? Ask your uncle to help build the kitchen, otherwise we'll all be left starving."
Mrs. Mo angrily scolded Gu Ximing, but Gu Ximing stood there without saying a word.
The villagers passing by stopped and some of them saw how cowardly Gu Ximing was and started to speak up for him.
"Ximing, if you don't slap a woman like this twice, why don't you keep her for the New Year?"
"That's right, no wonder you were called a wimp!"
Gu Ximing glanced at them without saying a word, then ran to ask his uncle to clean up the kitchen for them.
The women began to talk about Mrs. Mo.
"Ximing's wife used to have a good personality, how did she become like this?"
"Maybe he got his head broken last time?"
"Maybe I encountered something unclean in the mountains. Tsk tsk tsk, I'd better stay away from it from now on."
Mrs. Mo listened to the discussions and shouted, "Let me let you die once, and see if you can still be the same as before?"
After cursing, she turned and walked through the door.
She felt that the original owner had lived such a miserable life that it would be better for her to die.
She is Mo Ling, the capable Mo Ling. Even if she has forgotten many skills in this life, she will not live such a miserable life.
On the other side, Gu Ximing went to find his uncle to explain the situation.
Gu An looked at his pitiful nephew and sighed deeply.
Seeing his uncle's attitude, Gu Ximing fell to his knees.
"Get up, I didn't say I won't go." Gu An has gotten to know Ximing a little during the time he came back. He is a nerd who only knows how to read books.
"Thank you, uncle!" Gu Ximing thanked him.
Gu An took his stuff and went back with Gu Ximing.
When they were building the wall yesterday, Gu An guessed that this might happen. After all, the couple couldn't eat without a kitchen.
So, he also got some more bricks and placed them in his eldest brother's yard.
When they reached the door, he asked Ximing to go into the yard first. He then went around to his eldest brother and told him what had happened.
Although Gu He was angry at his second son's cowardice, he was still his biological son. He went back to the house and got a tael of silver for his younger brother: "Give this to that brat secretly."
"Brother, this is not a solution!" Gu An knew that his brother was reluctant to let Ximing suffer.
"There is no other way. That kid is just stupid!" Gu He felt upset.
Seeing that his elder brother was choking with sobs, Gu An said nothing more, put the silver in his pocket, and moved the bricks to the gate of the yard.
After moving the bricks, he waited for his eldest brother to close the yard door before he went over and asked the couple to come over and move the bricks to the yard over there.
Mrs. Mo originally didn't want to take action, but when she thought about how it would be difficult for the coward to invite her uncle back, she had no choice but to take action.
Wood was needed to build the shed, so Gu An went back and carried some wood from home, and then started hammering.
…
At this time, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends had already arrived in the city safely.
Many guests miss them after not coming for a day.
Last time, fearing that they didn't have enough manpower, Gu Dongming and the other two didn't go to that street to sell chestnuts.
There were more people this time, and Gu Xiaoxi was thinking of assigning someone to that side. However, there was no need to assign anyone. Before they had finished moving their things over, the whole basket of sugar-roasted chestnuts was sold out.
Gu Nanming saw that the leader of the Cleaver Gang had brought them a lot of customers, so he told Xiaoxi about it.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding and called the leader over: "Brother, come here!"
The leader saw that Gu Xiaoxi was a little scared. His brother said that the boss was beaten by this woman that day.
Seeing the timid look on his face, Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but laugh: "What are you afraid of?"
"I, I, I, no, hehe..." He raised his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Okay, go back and tell your boss that the matter is over. You don't have to bring guests to me on purpose. From now on, we will keep to ourselves." Gu Xiaoxi made it clear.
"Thank you Sister Xiaoxi, thank you Sister Xiaoxi!" He secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Gu Xiaoxi packed another bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts for the leader, and then continued to work with her brothers and sisters-in-law.
At noon, Chen Qinian rushed over with a group of students. When he saw Sister Xiaoxi appear, he took a few brothers to help.
"Second Young Master Chen, you should take a rest. We are here to take care of you." Gu Nanming knew that the other party was a young master, so he didn't feel comfortable asking him for help.
Mrs. Xue was happy to see someone helping her when she was too busy. But when she heard the third brother say that, she immediately said dissatisfiedly, "He's willing to help out of good intentions. I'll save some more sugar-roasted chestnuts for him later."
"Yes, yes, just give me some sugar-roasted chestnuts later." Chen Qinian nodded repeatedly.
Second Uncle said that we must improve our relationship with Sister Xiaoxi. Maybe next time we encounter such a situation, we can ask her for help.
Gu Dongming glanced at his wife and realized that there were some things he couldn't say yet.
Before noon, all the chestnuts were sold out.
Having wasted time yesterday, Gu Xiaoxi planned to go back to the mountain early.
While her brothers were preparing the backpacks, she glanced at the other noodle stall and found that the owner had actually arrived.
"Brother Tan, you are really a man who is not afraid of death!" She whispered to Brother Tan.
"We had no evidence that day. They were good at talking, unlike me who is not good at speaking. If it weren't for your sister-in-law being so strong, this noodle stall wouldn't have survived until today." Brother Tan said helplessly, looking at his wife with a distressed face.
My wife has never had a good life with him, and now she can only make ends meet.
"Brother Tan, you two are good people, and good things will come to you, but you are a little bit monotonous.
The day after tomorrow, go buy some pig offal and some ginger, clean them up and bring them here. I'll teach you how to cook three-fresh porridge." Gu Xiaoxi decided to repay them and improve their current situation.
Brother Tan was a little worried because no one wanted the pig offal, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Seeing the anxious fool, Mrs. Tan stepped forward and pulled him aside, saying happily, "Thank you very much, Sister Xiaoxi."
Gu Xiaoxi almost couldn't hold it in. Brother Tan was comparable to her elder brother. They were both straightforward and everything was written on their faces.
Seeing that Sister Xiaoxi was about to leave, Chen Qinian immediately waved to Chen San who was not far away.
Chen San had been waiting there for a long time. When he heard the young master calling him, he drove over in a carriage.
"Sister Xiaoxi, my second uncle said that if he sees you, he will send you back." Chen Qinian said.
"No." Gu Xiaoxi refused.
Although Mr. Chen was so attentive, she always felt uneasy.
