The two families who had just cried poor now took out their silver and money.
Gu Xiujiao took the silver and handed it to Lao Wu Niang, then helped Lao Wu Niang away.
The two families kept the contract they had just signed as a treasure. They didn't want to be in trouble in the future!
Seeing their actions, Old Wu Niang's face was filled with disappointment. She sighed softly and left with Gu Xiujiao. After they were far away, she gently let go of Gu Xiujiao's hand and said, "Miss Gu, thank you very much."
"If it weren't for you, I don't know what my old bones would be like now!"
"But I can't trouble you any further."
Gu Xiujiao held her hand and said, "Auntie, you don't have to bother me. This is what I should do."
"Actually, I've already discussed your matter with my father. My father takes things like yours very seriously, and he's already arranged for someone to build a house."
"Once the house is built, you can move in directly. We won't charge you any money."
"You can keep this money to buy food and other things for your daily life."
"You don't have to worry about being lonely then. There will be people with the same situation as you who will move in, and you can chat with them."
Old Wu Niang had never thought that the county magistrate would think of and do all this. She was very excited and said, "Thank you! I really thank you so much!"
"Let me kneel down for you!"
Old Fifth Lady was about to kneel down, but Gu Xiujiao held her up and said, "Don't kneel. My father said that as the county magistrate, he should consider you."
"As long as you live a happy life, he will be happy!"
Gu Xiujiao took her to a nearby inn and said, "You can stay here for the next few days!"
"The house over there will be almost finished in a few days."
After her father knew about these things, he had already started building a house.
"Oh! Good!" Old Wu Niang took out a yellowed handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Thank you so much."
Gu Xiujiao comforted her, sent her to the inn, ordered some food for her, asked her to have a good rest first, and greeted the innkeeper, asking them to take good care of Lao Wu Niang.
They were all from the same city, and they all knew a little about Lao Wu's family. They all sympathized with her, "Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Lao Wu's mother!"
After all, they are here to consume.
Gu Xiujiao nodded, she was relieved. She had other things to do, so she left first. Yuchi Xi followed her and heard their conversation.
"The county magistrate of this city is a man who knows how to get things done."
Yuchi Xi muttered softly, "This young lady is not bad either!"
Yuchi Xi continued to follow Gu Xiujiao and saw that she was always helping the people in the city to deal with problems. She always had a faint smile on her face, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
It was getting dark, and Yuchi Xi followed her into an inn for dinner. Gu Xiujiao only ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and asked the maid to eat with her.
Yuchi Xi was at the table behind her. She was dining with Jing Huaian and listening to their conversation.
As a result, Gu Xiujiao didn't talk while eating!
Yuchi Xi: ? Don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping?
So self-disciplined?
Gu Xiujiao ate quickly, but her movements were very graceful. After she finished, she wiped her mouth and waited for the maid to finish before she spoke, "Are you full?"
"I'm full!" The maid nodded quickly. "Miss, I don't understand why you only eat so little. You used to have several dishes in one meal, but why are you only eating two now?!"
Gu Xiujiao asked her, "Are you not full? If you are not full, I can order some more dishes for you."
The maid quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm full. I'm just feeling sorry for you!"
Gu Xiujiao laughed, "What's there to be wronged about? Don't I have food to eat?"
"But..." The maid frowned.
Gu Xiujiao chuckled and comforted her, "I just ate less. I couldn't finish so many dishes before, and I ended up feeding them to the dog."
"There aren't many stray dogs out here right now, so I'll just order what I can finish. Besides, my dad spent a lot of money building the house, so I should be more frugal."
"It's nothing."
She never felt that she was wronged.
The maid pursed her lips and finally said nothing more, "Miss, you are just too kind-hearted!"
As Yuchi Xi listened to their conversation, he couldn't help but think in his heart: This young lady is so nice!
In the next few days, in addition to being busy with his own affairs, Yuchi Xi also inquired about Gu Xiujiao's affairs. Gu Xiujiao would come out every day to help the people in the city solve problems, every day, rain or shine.
The people in the city also believed in her very much.
As for her father, he was indeed building those houses with his own money. These days, everyone in their house was tightening their belts in order to get more money to build more houses.
Yu Chixi was even moved. If he didn't support such a talented person, who would he support? !
Yuchi Xi gave Jing Huaian a handful of banknotes and asked Jing Huaian to help deliver them to the county magistrate.
Jing Huaian took the banknote and went to see the county magistrate.
When he went over, the county magistrate was talking to Gu Xiujiao. The county magistrate looked at Gu Xiujiao and felt very relieved. "Jiaojiao, your efforts and abilities are all seen by your father."
"You and your brother are more suitable for the position of county magistrate."
"It's a pity that women can't become officials..." The county magistrate sighed and changed the subject, "But I recently received news that women can also take the imperial examinations."
"You, choose a day to go to the capital and see if it's true. If the news is false, then try to find a way to see the little princess."
