Chapter 123 The Male Protagonist's Excellent Mother (Ten)
The debtor forced the creditor, who was known as a virtuous and virtuous woman, to death! This is not easy to say! If the matter gets out, not only will the Zhao clan become the target of public criticism, but even the county magistrate will probably be impeached.
However, such a "horrific" tragedy occurred under his rule, which was clearly his dereliction of duty.
Patriarch Zhao was furious. He sent someone to send Gu Qingcheng home, and at the same time he yelled at Zhao Dashan and his son:
"You really don't want to stay in Zhaojiazhuang anymore, do you?"
"Damn it, you guys are looking for death, don't drag the Zhao family into it!"
"I'm making this clear today. If anything happens to the Gu family in the future, you and your entire family will get out of Zhaojiazhuang!"
Patriarch Zhao was really anxious and a little scared.
This is no longer a matter of reputation. If things go wrong, he might end up in court! He hated Zhao Dashan and his family of idiots.
This time, Patriarch Zhao showed no mercy at all, said the most hateful words, and firmly stated his position!
Zhao Dashan's family was indeed shocked.
In fact, even without the scolding from Patriarch Zhao, they were frightened by Gu Qingcheng's outrageous behavior.
As country rogues, they had seen blood before.
It was common for Old Lady Zhao to quarrel with other old ladies, pulling each other's hair and scratching their faces, making blood all over the place.
There were also three brothers, Zhao Da and others, who often fought with villagers or people from neighboring villages for water and land.
I have seen people with bloody heads and even broken arms and legs.
However, it was the first time they had seen a scene like Gu Qingcheng, with a pale and delicate face, a slender body staggering, and blood spurting out of her mouth.
Seeing that scene once was enough to give them nightmares for days.
In their dreams, they even dreamed of their long-lost brother Zhao Guodong.
With his mutilated body on his shoulders, "Zhao Guodong" questioned them with blood coming out of his seven orifices: We are brothers from the same father and mother, why do you want to bully my wife and children? ! Zhao Da and the other three brothers were almost scared to death by this nightmare.
No more! Woohoo, we won’t dare to do it again!
Isn't it just working for an orphan and a widow? Can't we worship her as our ancestor in the future? I'm just afraid there will be no "future".
The scene of Gu spitting out large mouthfuls of blood really scared everyone and made them feel that Gu would not live long.
If Gu really died, the reputation of the Zhao family's old house would be completely ruined.
The children and grandchildren can forget about marrying good wives, and the married daughters may be divorced!
Thinking of this, Zhao Da and others ran to Zhao Guodong's house more diligently to work like slaves.
Not only the adults themselves, but even their own children did things for Gu's mother and son.
Zhao Qingyun: ...
Originally, when he saw his own mother being carried back with blood all over her mouth and body, he was completely frightened and stunned.
He also has deep fear and guilt:
Knowing that A Niang was a weak, tearful person who couldn't withstand any setbacks, he still let her face those bastards of the Zhao family.
Damn it!
Damn him! He was not sincere enough to his mother, and even thought of taking advantage of her!
He is indeed an unfilial son.
At that moment, Zhao Qingyun was completely enveloped by black negative energy.
As he loathed himself, he also developed resentment towards everyone in the Zhao family's old house.
Damn it!
These people all deserve to die!
If something really happened to his mother, Zhao Qingyun himself didn't know if he could control the murderous intent that was growing wildly in his heart.
But soon, Zhao Qingyun discovered that although A Niang vomited blood, there was no serious problem with her body.
At most, you just need to stay in bed and rest.
It is not as outsiders speculate that he will die soon.
After this incident, the people in the Zhao family's old house became completely obedient.
Men do the heavy work and women do the housework.
A few younger ones helped feed the chickens and pigs, and served tea and water.
Gu Qingcheng can be like a rich lady, with everything provided for her.
As for Zhao Qingyun, he didn't have to worry about trivial matters at home, nor did he have to worry about his weak and beautiful mother being bullied. He could devote himself to reading in public.
Even Zhao Qingsong followed his own wishes and learned to keep accounts and use an abacus.
The mother and her two children did not fall into hardship due to the death of their breadwinner. On the contrary, they seemed to be living a better life!
While reading, Zhao Qingyun couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he saw what was happening at home.
…
The people in the Zhao family's old house calmed down, but the people outside were not very well behaved.
The four words "orphan and widow" not only sound pitiful, but also mean that they are easy to bully.
Not to mention that among the three "orphans and widows" of the Zhao family, there is a particularly "stupid" one named Gu.
"Isn't that stupid? She actually believed what her husband's family said! Her parents wanted to come to support her, but she foolishly sent them back."
"That's right! My mother's family is my real support!"
Men and women always look at things from different perspectives.
Men all hope that the wife they marry will cut off all concerns with her parents' family the moment she enters the house and live wholeheartedly in her husband's family.
They value the entire family more, hoping that fathers are kind and sons are filial, brothers are harmonious, and sisters-in-law love each other.
For a woman, her own family and her parents' home are the most important.
What clan, what family? As long as you live a good life, what does that have to do with you?
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng's behavior of treating her husband's family as her own and staying away from her own family was highly praised by the men and elders.
In the eyes of women, that's stupid! Besides, Gu is indeed stupid, she is easy to deceive.
Everyone in the Zhao family's old house was able to cheat her out of hundreds of taels of silver, and some villagers who loved to take advantage of others would also go to cheat her.
Although after Zhao Guodong's death, the head of the Zhao clan openly favored the Gu family mother and son, and there was also the tragic case of the Zhao family's old house, the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang rarely plotted against them.
However, there are still a very small number of top-notch people and people outside the village who are interested in it.
Just today, a woman from the neighboring village came to Gu Qingcheng with a calculating look on her face.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Cousin, let me tell you, this is a good business!"
"The hostess is the concubine of the county lord, and she has the county lord's support behind her."
"I'm helping you out because I feel sorry for you. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be willing to give up such a good business."
"If you invest a share, you can get a share of the money every month, and you can also establish a relationship with the county lord."
"I heard that your Qingyun will be eliminated next year? Oh, the county lord is personally responsible for the selection... Cousin, think about it yourself, huh?"
At the end of the conversation, the person who was said to be Zhao Guodong's distant cousin deliberately winked at Gu Qingcheng.
"You mean to say that if I do business with the concubine of the county master, I can help my son Qingyun pass the imperial examination?"
Gu Qingcheng blinked her big eyes. She captured the original owner's innocent and gullible temperament quite well.
The cheap cousin Qian was a little dazed: This Gu is a little stupid, but she is really good-looking.
With this appearance, if she had not been a chaste woman, she could have married into the county and become the county magistrate's concubine.
Alas, it is such a waste of such a beautiful face that I can only stay in the countryside and be a crude peasant woman.
Qian sighed secretly in her heart.
I even have a feeling of "hate iron but not steel": If it were me, I would have used this face to climb up the social ladder long ago.
So, this Gu is really stupid! She is only in her twenties, but she wants to remain faithful to her dead husband.
Did she really think being a widow was that easy? Not having a companion who understood her feelings was fine, but she would still be bullied.
What village doesn't have some low-class hooligans? These bastards kick widows' doors and dig up the graves of families with no descendants.
Gu was so beautiful that she was bound to be targeted by those gangsters.
Huh? Wait a minute! I don't think I've heard any "romantic" stories about the Gu family.
Is Zhaojiazhuang so good that there isn't even a thug? Thug: ...Listen to what you are saying? You want me to bully the Gu family? I would like to, but I don't dare.
First of all, although Gu was a widow, the Zhao family was not extinct.
The three brothers of the Zhao family, three small families, took turns working for the Gu family at Zhao Guodong's house.
Even at night, there would always be a nephew or niece serving Gu.
It's easy to climb over the wall, but if you meet someone from the Zhao family, haha, you'd be lucky if you were beaten up and only had your legs or arms broken.
Secondly, although Gu is beautiful, she is just a beauty lamp.
It breaks if you blow it! It falls down if you touch it! Even if you cry for a long time, you will spit out blood.
If you are bullied, you can just die!
The gangster just wants to take advantage, not to die!
Insulting a chaste woman to death!
This crime was so horrible that the magistrate should chop off his head three times.
Before the government officials locked him up and took him back to question him, he might be beaten to death by the angry Zhaojiazhuang people! Therefore, Gu Qingcheng's magical operation not only brought a free maid to the family, but also frightened the scoundrels in and out of the village.
The door of her house had never been knocked on in the middle of the night! This was a hidden danger that she could not completely eliminate even if she bought maids and servants.
However, she achieved it easily through several rounds of PK with the Zhao family's old house.
No one comes to bully her, but there are people who come to defraud the little inheritance left by Zhao Guodong.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Qian with a secret sneer, but her face still showed an ignorant look of indifference to the world.
"...You can say that! Anyway, doing business with the concubine will definitely help your Qingyun!"
Qian suppressed the wild thoughts in her mind and continued to deceive her cheap cousin's wife.
"Really? Oh, that's really great!"
Gu Qingcheng was like a child, easy to coax and excited.
However, she soon seemed to have thought of something, and said awkwardly: "But my Qingyun said--"
Don't let me listen to what outsiders say.
Qian's eyes flashed with disdain, but her face showed a serious expression, "Cousin, I'm not saying anything, but you are a mother, an elder, why are you always controlled by your son?"
"No! My Qingyun does not control me! Qingyun and Qingsong are both filial."
Gu Qingcheng quickly waved her hands and tried her best to explain.
Her "hesitation" was actually giving Qian a chance.
If Qian was determined to cheat a widow out of her money, then you really can't blame her for being cruel!
PS: Thank you for the reward from Shucheng Aojiao, thank you for your support, thank you everyone!
