Chapter 138 He is Li Mumu’s child husband
Moreover, in Li Ye's description, the Gu family was unforgivable and all of their members were bad people. Even the little ones were corrupted by their mother.
Shi Zecheng also came from a poor family and studied hard before becoming an official. Unfortunately, in his opinion, he ended up like this because he offended someone and was reported.
But if he is not wrong, not to mention one book, even ten books will not be able to defeat him.
But he didn't think so, and always felt that it was because he didn't give any gifts.
So when he heard that the Li family also came from a poor background and relied on Li Yuan's fighting on the battlefield to reach Shangjing City, but was then harmed by a villain, he was also filled with righteous indignation.
Thinking of their similar backgrounds, he became close friends with the Li brothers and they became close brothers in just one day.
But when he saw the Gu brothers, he sneered at them, as if the Gu family was the one who caused him to fall into misfortune.
The Gu brothers just thought he was inexplicable, but they didn't bother with him. It was better to have less trouble than more.
During the lunch break the next day, he and Li Ye talked about the Gu family. Li Ye originally wanted to throw dirty water on the Gu family, but unexpectedly he learned that the Gu family had been given a lot of things.
"Who is it?" Li Yuan was silently gnawing on a choking steamed bun, but he didn't want to hear such explosive news.
Shi Zecheng shook his head, "I don't know about that. My wife saw it."
Li Ye looked at Li Yuan, and the two brothers exchanged glances. They happened to catch a glimpse of the three brothers of the Gu family eating the braised pork ribs and bacon they brought from home in the distance, and their mouths watered instantly.
Thinking that in addition to the 100 kilograms of food, there were also hungry children at home, Li Yuan wanted to bring Gu Yuru home even more.
Especially since the goat we bought hasn’t produced even a drop of milk in the past few days, what should we do with our little daughter?
Ningxi Village.
The Gu family was still very lively today. In just one night, Li Mumu prepared the medicine for the villagers who came to see the doctor yesterday.
Now it is distributed to everyone one by one, and the villagers are very grateful. Even though they can't give money, can't they say nice things?
He praised the Gu family as if they were gods in heaven.
Old Master Qin sat on the kang in the Gu family's house with his legs spread out. Since the women in the Gu family were not used to the big stoves in the north, smoke was billowing in the house, choking Old Master Qin and making him cough.
But even so, he couldn't help but praise: "Brother Gu, you have taught Mumu very well. As long as I am in Ningxi Village, no one will dare to cause trouble for you."
Old Master Gu smiled and thought that even if someone came looking for him, he wasn't afraid and could just fight them off.
Old Master Qin lowered his voice again and asked, "That kid didn't have it when he came the day before, right?"
Old Master Gu paused. This was not a lie. If they said they were relatives' children, their identities were not suitable. How could a relative let his own child be exiled?
But because of Xie Xun's special identity, he cannot be exposed at the moment. Mr. Qin has discovered it, and more people will notice it in the future.
In order to make it more reasonable for Xie Xun to stay with them, Old Man Gu cleared his throat and lied, "Mumu is a good child in every way, except that he is a little weak. We picked him up on land, he has no father and no mother..."
"Child-raising husbands! So this is also popular among the nobles in the capital?" Old Master Qin smiled mischievously. "They look quite a good match. They are good-looking, but they look a little cold."
"Cough cough..." Old Master Gu choked on his own saliva.
He originally wanted to say that he stayed behind to protect Li Mumu from disaster.
After all, if you tell lies, the Li family knows the truth and it is easy to expose them.
But I didn't expect it to cause misunderstanding.
"No...you..."
Old Master Qin slapped his thigh, almost knocking the silver needle off of it. He took a breath in pain and said, "Don't be embarrassed. We have this kind of situation here too."
Xie Xun was sitting outside watching Li Mumu busying around. When he heard the conversation between several old people in the house, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Is he Li Mumu’s adopted husband?
Li Mumu naturally heard it as well. After all, Old Master Qin's voice was quite loud. Not only her, but also the people queuing for medicine in the yard heard it.
Li Mumu could feel that the uncles, aunts and other older ladies looked at her and Xie Xun with somewhat fiery eyes.
"Grandpa Qin, it's time. I'll go remove the needle for you." Li Mumu put down the work at hand and ran back to the house.
Although it was only acupuncture twice, Mr. Qin could feel the warmth in his knees. In the past, it hurt so much that he would make a crackling sound when walking, and he would gasp in pain every time he squatted down and stood up.
“Grandpa Qin, you misunderstood, Brother Xie is me…”
"Oh, Tong Yangfu, isn't that what you call it?" asked Mr. Qin.
Li Mumu looked at her grandparents awkwardly. They didn't seem to want to explain, which reminded her of Xie Xun's unspeakable life story, which even she couldn't figure out.
"Mumu, you're so shy at such a young age?" Old Master Qin said dotingly, but he quickly changed the subject. "Mumu, do you have enough herbs? These were given to your family by others, and you let everyone use them all. How can you be so embarrassed?"
Li Mumu knew that he was not just talking nonsense. As for medicinal herbs, she had plenty in her space. If there were not enough, she could just plant a batch and they would mature soon.
But Li Mumu knew that there was no such thing as an inexhaustible supply.
If something goes well once, everyone will be grateful. If it goes well every time, everyone will gradually get used to it and take it for granted.
She doesn't ask for much, just that everyone remembers everyone's kindness and doesn't bring down the Gu family in the future.
"Grandpa Qin, this time it's enough."
Old Master Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "Next time, let them figure it out on their own. You don't owe them anything. I'll talk to everyone about this."
Li Mumu smiled. She felt relieved after hearing what Old Master Qin said. He would go and tell others so that people wouldn't think that the Gu family was stingy.
The Gu family was bustling with activity, but the mother and daughter of the Shi family couldn't stand it.
When Shi Aoxue heard the men in the village praising Gu Lan for her beauty and kindness, her lips curled up. "She's really depraved. A lady from a noble Duke's mansion actually smiled and greeted a bunch of country men. She's so pregnant and still restless. No wonder she was divorced."
Wang Yufen nodded. "That's right. All the women in their family behave like this. It's as if they've never seen a man in their entire lives. Aoxue, don't learn from her. Even if our family is down and out, you're still a rich lady. The man you marry must have status and position."
Shi Aoxue nodded, "Of course."
In the evening, the three brothers of the Gu family returned home to eat hot noodles with soybean paste, but they heard shouting outside.
Sounds familiar.
Gu Yuru frowned when she heard the voice, and Gu Mingjing jumped up, "What is this guy doing here again? Sister, I'm going to go out and beat him up."
