Chapter 129 The hero's best mother (Sixteen) Ask for monthly votes
The middle-aged man was also overwhelmed by Gu Qingcheng's generosity! He stood there blankly with his eyes wide open and his mouth open.
"Don't just stand there, go and treat the child immediately, don't delay!"
Gu Qingcheng directly threw the two silver ingots into the middle-aged man's arms.
Then, she followed the rules and took several steps back, turning back to the carriage.
"Knife! Lady, you haven't got the knife yet."
The middle-aged man finally reacted after the carriage started moving.
He held the silver ingot in one hand and his family's heirloom sword in the other, and ran after the carriage.
"No need! Since it's your ancestral treasure, you should keep it well!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't stick her head out, but just shouted loudly.
Middle-aged man: ...
After wandering around for a few years, he has met all kinds of people.
But this is the first time I have seen a woman as pure and kind as this beautiful lady.
The middle-aged man was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. He chased after the carriage while shouting, "Benefactor, may I ask your name? I will repay you double in the future!"
Since his benefactor refused to accept his knife, he considered himself as having borrowed money from the benefactor.
Since you are borrowing money, you have to pay it back, and you have to pay double the principal and interest! "Don't chase me anymore, it's more important to get the child treated." Since Gu Qingcheng wanted to do a favor, of course he would not leave his name.
The smartest way to invest is to do good without expecting anything in return.
Even if she didn't tell him, the middle-aged man would find out for himself.
This young and chaste woman with outstanding appearance had so many distinctive features that it was almost certain she was the right person once you inquired about her.
Not to mention, there was a speechless old woman beside her.
Gu Qingcheng dared to bet that for smart people, they hated to see others doing stupid things.
Sure enough, Gu Qingcheng refused to tell her name, and the old woman beside her couldn't help it.
She stuck her head out of the car window and shouted, "This lady's surname is Gu, her husband's surname is Zhao, and she is a chaste woman who has remained faithful to her husband!"
The middle-aged man finally stopped after hearing this.
He panted, watched the carriage go farther and farther away, and silently memorized the name of the Zhao family's Gu family in his heart.
Helping someone in need, doing good without expecting anything in return... This is no longer just a matter of ten taels of silver, but a great favor of saving a life.
Jiang Sihai will definitely repay this great kindness with all his strength! Holding tightly the ancestral sword, Jiang Sihai swore secretly in his heart.
…
The carriage swayed and finally went out of the city gate.
The old woman's heart, however, could not calm down.
She glanced at the beautiful woman next to her and couldn't help complaining in her heart: No wonder the wife gave me so many instructions, it turns out this woman is really a worry-free person.
Tsk tsk, she actually believed such an obvious scam.
They even raised the price themselves, allowing the scammers to take away more money.
We have just left the silver shop, and there are still more than twenty miles to go. We don’t know how many stupid things this silly beauty will do!
When the old woman thought of this, she couldn't help but become alert.
She looked to both sides carefully, fearing that another swindler or beggar would appear on the road.
Gu Qingcheng seemed to sense the old woman's fear of everything. She smiled at her and patted the small bundle in her arms, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I don't have any money!"
Therefore, even if there are more scammers or poor people, she has no capital to be stupid, oh no, she has to do good deeds to accumulate virtue.
"All the money in my family was used to help the county magistrate's concubine do business. A full 120 taels."
"This is what my husband left behind. I'm useless and can't make money or support my family. Fortunately, I have a good relative who introduced me to such a good way to make money."
Gu Qingcheng showed her longing as she spoke.
She bent her slender pink fingers and said, "When I make some money, I will buy my Dalang the set of books he wants, as well as the best rice paper and brushes."
"My son Dalang is very sensible. He knows that our family is in financial difficulty. He was reluctant to use pen and paper when practicing calligraphy. Instead, he found a piece of bluestone and wrote on it with water."
"And my son Erlang likes to do business. I want to send him to a private school for two years. When he grows up, I will send him to a shop in the county as an apprentice. Both private schools and shops require money..."
"Oh, and my parents-in-law, uncles, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. They all treat me like family and take care of me. I want to repay them well."
Gu Qingcheng kept on talking and telling a woman she had just met about her family's financial situation.
Old woman: ...Alas, this silly girl. How can she trust others so easily when she is so pretty? If she were replaced by an ugly one, the old woman would probably dislike her.
But Gu Qingcheng was so beautiful and had such a pure temperament that the old woman, who was usually shrewd and mercenary, actually felt a little pity for her.
After listening carefully to what Gu Qingcheng said, the old woman couldn't help but feel soft-hearted: This Gu is indeed a little silly, but she is also really kind.
It was hard enough for a widow to raise two sons.
She even thought about taking care of the young and old in her husband's family.
Either her husband's family is kind and Mrs. Gu is grateful.
Or maybe Madam Gu is too kind and repays evil with kindness.
Huoshui: ...Perhaps, there is a third possibility, that is, Gu Qingcheng is too skilled and her acting skills are too good?! The mother-in-law could not hear Huoshui's complaints, she only believed the facts she saw.
The fact is, Gu is a really stupid person, but also very respectable.
For many smart people, they prefer to get along with fools, which is safe and secure! This is the case with Pozi.
Originally, she just followed Mrs. Cui's order and sent Gu Qingcheng back to Zhaojiazhuang.
However, after "getting along" with each other along the way, the old woman developed a liking for Gu Qingcheng and became extra attentive to her.
Not only did he send the person back home, he also deliberately took a carriage for a tour around Zhaojiazhuang.
In addition to inquiring about Gu's "story", the old woman also wanted to take advantage of the power of others to let the people on the farm know that Gu was not just a simple chaste woman, but was also acquainted with a nobleman.
The old woman, who came from a peasant family and later sold herself into slavery, knew all too well what was happening in the countryside.
Not all country people are honest and simple, there are still unruly people in the village.
Gu is a young and beautiful widow. If she doesn't have a backer, she will definitely be bullied.
Everyone in the Zhao Family's old house: ...Listen to what you are saying? The Gu family is being bullied? Haha, who dares!
The old woman turned around and thought she had achieved a deterrent effect.
In addition, she did find out everything about the Gu family.
When the old woman learned about Gu's experience, she was speechless at first, and then felt helpless.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, thinking of Gu's beauty and innocence, the old woman was left with only pity.
When they returned to the back hall of the county government and met Mrs. Cui, the old woman's report was somewhat subjective.
"Gu was weak and couldn't do housework, but fortunately she married a good husband like Zhao Guodong and has two smart and sensible sons."
"Unfortunately, good people don't live long. Zhao Guodong had an accident last month. Gu and Zhao Guodong were deeply in love and couldn't bear to leave their son, so they vowed to remain faithful to each other."
"She naively thought that her husband's family were all good people, but she had no idea that they were all bastards with ruthless hearts and bad consciences."
"He borrowed money from Gu's family and forced her to remarry in an attempt to seize the family property left by Zhao Guodong."
"Fortunately, the patriarch of the Zhao family was honest and upright, and helped the Gu family make the decision, so that the orphan and his widowed mother were not bullied."
"I have also seen the eldest son of the Gu family. He looks like his mother, but his character should be like his father. Although he is young, he is precocious and capable."
"He seemed to be used to the fact that Gu was easily deceived. Although his eyes were full of helplessness, he did not feel any resentment. He was obviously a filial son!"
The old woman chattered on and on, and the image of Mrs. Gu and her son was very vivid.
Mrs. Cui could almost imagine the scene where Gu was deceived by the knife-selling swindler.
One can also imagine Zhao Qingyun's pitiful appearance of powerlessness and helplessness.
Zhao Qingyun is also pitiful for having such a weird mother.
However, this child is really good. He does not dislike or resent his mother.
You know, children actually have demands on their parents.
If parents are too poor, too useless, or always get themselves into trouble, even their own children will dislike them.
And Gu is no longer just "useless", she is a complete pig teammate.
She trusted others easily and used all the money her husband left to her and her son to do business.
If so, oh no, it will definitely be a waste of money.
How would they live then? Gu was able to repay the ruthless in-laws with kindness.
...Mrs. Cui felt particularly at ease while complaining about such a silly woman.
If Gu Qingcheng behaved a little more normally, Mrs. Cui would also feel wary.
Such a beautiful woman tried to get close to the county magistrate. Even if Gu Qingcheng had no intention of marrying up to a rich and powerful man, there was no guarantee that a stinky man like the county magistrate would be seduced by her beauty.
However, many things he had seen and heard from his wife proved that Gu was just a pretty little fool.
All the doubt and fear in Mrs. Cui's heart disappeared.
"Gu Shi can be considered a victim this time. Our family owes her a point. We should take good care of her in the future."
Mrs. Cui said softly.
However, when mentioning this "lawsuit", Mrs. Cui couldn't help but think of Li, the troublemaker.
There was a fierce flash in her eyes, and she raised her voice, "Someone, bring Li to me!"
"Send two more people to search Li's room carefully."
Aunt Li should have started lending money at high interest rates.
Therefore, there must be IOUs, silver and other things in her room.
These are all physical evidence.
"By the way, tie up the maid named Xiaocao beside Li and interrogate her thoroughly."
"I want to know whether Li is using the master as a cover to try to use the college entrance examination to make money!"
Mrs. Cui's voice was cold.
In fact, based on her status and authority, she could just deal with Li directly.
Mrs. Cui would not do that. Although she disliked her husband in her heart, she still knew her limits.
What she needs to do is to treat her husband with respect, not coldness.
Mrs. Cui was very satisfied with the magistrate's wife, and she wanted to follow her husband and receive an imperial decree in the future.
Therefore, Mrs. Cui still has to take the "relationship between husband and wife" into consideration.
She dealt with Aunt Li not out of arrogance, but because this person's existence had endangered her husband's safety and career.
The magistrate looked at the physical and personal evidence, and his greasy face turned black: "Bitch! What a bitch!"
He actually dared to cause so many troubles. Each and every one of them could ruin his future.
No doubt about it, it must be dealt with! PS: Hehe, one request a day, monthly ticket, monthly ticket, monthly ticket!
