The old gambler isn't coming back? The village head was taken aback, but considering what the old gambler had done, it was better that he didn't come back. No matter how the county magistrate punished the old gambler, it was fine!
Letting him come back will only make things worse for Zhonggui Village.
But he needed to find some time to go to the county government office and ask the magistrate what would happen to the old gambler and the Gu family, as well as the people of Shanggui Village and the Miao Village…
Gu Beiyi is so cold; it's obvious he wouldn't tell him anything.
“Since you want to live next door to the Rong family, then go ahead! Just tell me what you need, and I’ll help you figure it out!” The village head said, while thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to transfer that family’s house to Gu Beiyi’s name, so that he would have a home in Zhonggui Village.
"Thank you!" Gu Beiyi was in a very good mood.
Living next door to Rong Sheng makes some things much more convenient.
As the saying goes, "Those who are near the water get the moon first!"
Upon thinking this, Gu Beiyi's lips curled into a smile, and his expressionless face instantly softened, leaving the village head speechless.
After getting the key, Gu Beiyi went to the house next to the Rong family's. Once inside, Gu Beiyi ordered his guards to appear and quickly clean the house, as they would be living there in the future, so it had to be kept clean. He also told them to be careful not to be discovered.
Rong Sheng was unaware that Gu Beiyi had returned. In the past two days, she had been carrying her medicine kit to treat the villagers, and many patients had recovered. She had accumulated twenty medical ethics points.
Several other patients are almost cured, and we'll gain even more points for medical ethics then.
With that thought, Rong Sheng's chances of being with her future husband were getting greater and greater. As she thought of this, a smile appeared on Rong Sheng's lips. She happily carried her first-aid kit home.
At this time, Rong Dong'an and the others had all gone to work in the fields, so only Rong Yu was at home. He was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a book, engrossed in it.
I had no idea when she got back.
When Gu Beiyi saw Rong Sheng return home, a doting smile flashed across his dark eyes. He put one hand behind his back and said, "Rong Sheng!"
Rong Sheng heard someone call her name and immediately turned around. When she saw Gu Beiyi, an excited and thrilled smile appeared on her face. "Wei... Gu Sanniu, you're back!"
Rong Sheng happily ran up to Gu Beiyi, her eyes shining as she looked at him: "When did you get back? Have you eaten yet?" It was already afternoon, so Gu Beiyi should have had lunch by now.
But she just wanted to ask.
Gu Beiyi nodded: "Just got back!"
"Come inside and sit for a while!" Rong Sheng said, pulling Gu Beiyi's hand.
But Gu Beiyi grabbed Rong Sheng's hand and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going in. I've been staying at your house for a long time and have caused you a lot of trouble, so I won't go in! I don't want your parents and brothers to be unhappy!"
Rong Sheng: "...My parents and three older brothers went to work in the fields. Only my fourth brother was at home, but he was preoccupied with his studies and the imperial examinations, so he wouldn't pay attention to us."
"No need! I don't want to be disliked!" Gu Beiyi deliberately retreated to advance. He knew that ever since he kissed Rong Sheng that day, Madam Xu had disliked him, and Rong Dong'an also disliked him. Rong Sheng's four older brothers didn't know yet, and if they did, it would be troublesome. Rather than being kicked out, he would rather play the victim and beg for pity in front of Rong Sheng. In this way, Rong Sheng's heart would be firmly attached to him: "I'll pack my things first, and then move out immediately!"
"Move out now? Where are you moving to? Do you care about the family?" Rong Sheng asked anxiously.
Gu Beiyi shook his head: "The Gu family is the Gu family. Even though I've washed away my jinx reputation, the harm the Gu family has caused me makes it impossible for me to stay in the Gu family. So I plan to rent a house in the village to live in!"
"Do you have money? Where do you want to rent? I'd like to come with you and take a look!" Rong Sheng asked worriedly.
Gu Beiyi: "Sheng Sheng, have you forgotten that I served in the army for ten years? I receive a military salary every month. Although it's not much, it's enough for me to rent a house. After I finish all the farm work, I'll talk to the village head and ask him to sell me the house. As long as I live frugally, I'll have enough to live on for the rest of my life!"
Ten years' worth of military pay?
Rong Sheng remembered that Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu had previously tried to get Du Qincai to take away her future husband's military pay, but they failed and instead made her discover that her future husband had been poisoned.
“And the apartment I rent…” Gu Beiyi paused deliberately, his dark eyes fixed on Rong Sheng’s expectant gaze: “is right next door!”
"Next door?" Rong Sheng was taken aback. "Wasn't that house rented by that old gambler?"
“The old gambler will never appear before you again, so you can’t rent the house!” Gu Beiyi said.
Rong Sheng frowned: "Why?"
This time, the old gambler deserves credit for successfully taking down the Gu family and dealing with Miao Hongye and the others, right? Although he wasn't a good person before, he shouldn't be someone who can't come back, right?
Gu Beiyi: "He was a gambler and borrowed a lot of money. The people from the gambling den and his fellow gamblers all went to the county government and sued the old gambler, demanding that he repay the money. But where would the old gambler get the money to repay? So he was imprisoned! After a while, the old gambler might be released, but the gambling den and his fellow gamblers won't let him off the hook. So you understand why the old gambler can't come back, right?!"
If the old gambler returns, he will definitely not let the people at the gambling den off the hook!
Rong Sheng had no idea that Gu Beiyi had used the old gambler and then dumped him. When she heard that Gu Beiyi lived next door to them, she was very happy, as it would be very convenient for her to find him in the future.
If you shout loudly, Gu Beiyi will hear you.
So Rong Sheng asked Gu Beiyi to pack his things. Gu Beiyi's bedding and other belongings belonged to their family, but Gu Beiyi did not take them with him. He only took a few of his own clothes.
Rong Sheng followed Gu Beiyi to the next house, intending to help him clean it. However, when she arrived, she found the yard to be very clean, and even the furniture in the house was spotless, as if it had just been cleaned.
Gu Beiyi replied without batting an eye, "I'll go to your house after I've finished cleaning!"
Rong Sheng didn't think much of it. After watching Gu Beiyi put the clothes into the wardrobe in the east wing, he looked at Rong Sheng with great embarrassment and said, "Sheng Sheng, you know I can't cook, let alone heat the kang (a traditional heated bed). So you'll have to teach me properly in the next few days, otherwise I... will starve or freeze to death!"
After the harvest, it will be about a month before the weather gets cold and the kang (heated brick bed) needs to be heated. He probably won't leave for another month and will return to the capital.
Therefore, he must seize every opportunity to be with Rong Sheng.
Rong Sheng nodded: "Okay!"
Actually, she wasn't very good at it either, because after transmigrating, she had never cooked or started a fire; her brothers always fought over doing it for her.
