Chapter 222 Earned Three Hundred Wen
Soon after Gu Mingyu talked about the bandits being dealt with by the newly appointed county magistrate, he talked about the Shi family.
But Old Man Qin was even more anxious than Li Mumu. "Mingyu, they won't come to our village again, right?"
Gu Mingyu smiled and nodded. "No, even though so many of us opposed it, the newly appointed county magistrate is still very good. Shi Aoxue was imprisoned for colluding with bandits, although her crime was not as serious as those bandits who killed and robbed people, and she was reunited with her brother."
"As for the Shi family, even without the County Magistrate telling them to do something so bad, if they had any sense, they should have taken the initiative to ask to expel our village."
Li Mumu nodded. Just because of what they did, do they still expect to be well-received in the village in the future?
It’s good enough if I don’t get beaten.
"Where did they go?" Qin Ling asked.
"Qingshui Village!"
Old Master Qin took a deep breath. "That's a real bargain for them. That village is the richest, much better off than ours. Their land is guaranteed to yield a harvest regardless of drought or flood, and it's mostly flat. Unlike our village, which is all mountainous, when there's little rain, the crops are all thrown away."
"Uncle Qin, if they do something like this, the people in Qingshui Village will know about it. Since they are wealthy, they are even more afraid of being targeted by bandits. They should hate people like this even more."
Gu Mingyu said in a relaxed tone, "Think about it, isn't this the truth?"
Qin Ling nodded, "That's right, my brain is not as good as yours."
He admired the Gu family from the bottom of his heart, and Li Mumu also saw it. To put it bluntly, if the Gu family farted now, even Qin Ling would think it was fragrant.
The Shi family came back after the villagers had finished their meal. Although they had lived a hard life in the past five years, they still had some things. If they didn't take them away, they would not be able to survive in Qingshui Village.
When they passed by Gu's house, they happened to see Qin Ling and his fellow villagers thanking Gu's family and preparing to leave. They were all full of food and drink, happy and satisfied.
They ran into the Shi family head-on. They saw the big guy leaving in shame like a rat crossing the street.
"Humph, get out of our village right away."
"That's right, hurry up and leave. You're in our village, and the feng shui of our village has been affected by you."
"Yes, speaking of which, life in our village has become increasingly difficult in recent years since they came."
The original family of five now has only three left. The eldest daughter and son are both in prison, and the Shi family also feels unlucky.
"It's a poor and run-down village with a bunch of unreasonable people. We don't even want to live here. Qingshui Village is a great place, a hundred times better than this. We don't even want to stay here."
Shi Wu said proudly: "Dad, this can be considered a blessing in disguise for us."
There was no sadness on his face about his sister being in prison, instead he looked very proud.
After listening to Gu Mingyu's words, Mr. Qin also understood, "Yes, yes, Qingshui Village is good, you will live a good life."
After saying that, he smiled.
Shi Wu snorted coldly and quickly quickened his pace to pack his things.
Since the Shi family didn't have much stuff, they packed up in less than half an hour and left without looking back.
Li Mumu was also looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would be created when the Shi family and the scumbag family lived in the same village.
Apart from the Pei family occasionally causing trouble for their servants, the Gu family had one good thing after another.
Song Qiang's shop is almost ready and is just waiting to open after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In ancient times, the New Year was not considered over until after the 15th day. They worked hard all year round and attached great importance to this New Year.
There aren't many people even though the shop opened early, so I might as well just rest at home.
So the couple began to prepare for the New Year, and Gu Yuru occasionally lent a hand.
This day was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was just around the corner.
Gu Lan planned to take a nap at noon, but was awakened by excited shouting in the yard.
"Sister Lan'er, Sister Lan'er."
Gu Lan turned over. Although her belly was quite big, she was still very agile due to her martial arts training. With her little cousin taking care of her body, she had almost no discomfort.
"Yun Qiao?" Gu Lan saw that the person coming was Li Yun Qiao.
When she first came, she was timid, spoke softly, and didn't like to talk much.
But she has changed a little since the last incident.
"Yes, Sister Lan'er, I have good news for you." Li Yunqiao excitedly pulled her hand. "I'm telling you that the pair of pillows I embroidered sold for three hundred coins. Three hundred coins, Sister Lan'er, that's a lot of money."
Three hundred coins were really nothing to the Gu family, but Li Yunqiao was so excited that she danced with joy. Gu Lan was also infected by her joy and couldn't help laughing.
"That's a really good thing."
Li Yunqiao nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes."
She chirped non-stop like a cheerful sparrow. "Before, I only sold it for a few dozen coins at most, and people were reluctant to buy it. But this time, it was a full three hundred coins, and he didn't even bargain. Sister Lan'er, he even said he would take as many as he wanted in the future."
"He didn't even bargain, which means your pillow might sell for more money."
Although she suffered a loss, Li Yunqiao didn't care. "Three hundred coins is a lot of money. I never dared to imagine that I could embroider a pillow like this in three to five days with some hard work. I can make a lot of money this month."
Gu Lan nodded, but felt that if she embroidered a lot, she couldn't always sell them at a low price, as that would be too much of a loss.
"Sister Lan'er, I don't know what to say. If you hadn't taught us the embroidery techniques of the capital, our shabby craftsmanship would definitely not be appreciated. This time, the owner of the embroidery workshop said that my embroidery is good. Sister Lan'er, here are two hundred coins for you."
"Give it to me?" Gu Lan paused, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. "You earned this with hard work, what are you doing for me?"
And she gave herself more than half.
Li Yunqiao smiled, "As I should. If it weren't for you, how could I earn so much? Don't think two hundred coins is too little. When I earn more in the future, I will give you more. It's the New Year, and my family hasn't prepared anything. I...I have to buy some."
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Gu Lan smiled and said, "Silly girl, I didn't say it was too little, I said it was too much. Anyway, I teach you just to kill time."
"That won't do. You're pregnant and you've been teaching us all day. I don't know how much saliva you've wasted. We learned our craft from you, so of course we have to pay you."
"Take it quickly, prepare some more things for your family, and have a good New Year."
"No, that's what my parents said. If you don't accept it, I won't go back." Li Yunqiao said.
Although her parents are honest, they also know that they should not take advantage of others, and they should be grateful when others help them.
Especially the matter of Shi Wen did not make Li Yunqiao looked down upon as they thought. After so many days, it seemed that no one talked about this matter.
When Li Mumu heard the noise, she immediately came up with a plan.
