When Patriarch Zhao saw Gu's reaction, he knew that his proposal touched Gu's heart.
Patriarch Zhao couldn't help but feel a little proud.
As expected, I am the smartest and most successful person in Zhaojiazhuang.
Gu's eyes encouraged Patriarch Zhao, and he simply thought more carefully -
"After all, the old couple Zhao Dashan are old, so the work still depends on the brothers Zhao Da, Zhao Er and Zhao Si San."
"How about this, every month there are thirty days, each of you three brothers will do one day to help the mother and son of the Gu family with some work."

"Chopping wood, fetching water, repairing things... Anyway, I'll do the same work as I do at home when I go to Gu's!"
We are all “family”, so we should do our best.
Zhao Da and others: ...Every family has to go to work, and they have to take turns!
I am so busy with the chores at home that even if I have some free time, I would like to do some odd jobs to save some money.
But if they followed the clan leader's assignment, they probably wouldn't have time to do odd jobs in town or county.
Several people felt a little repulsive.
Patriarch Zhao and the villagers realized that there was really not a single good person in the Zhao family's old house.
They felt more and more sorry for Gu.
Firstly, the Gu family is the weaker party and they are in the right;
Secondly, Gu's words and deeds are in line with the world's expectations of a "daughter-in-law";
Thirdly, Gu is good-looking and has a clean temperament. She is obviously a good woman with a pure heart.
Zhao Family Old House vs. Gu Qingcheng.
On one side is a greedy rogue, on the other side is a poor chaste woman.
The hearts of Patriarch Zhao and everyone else naturally leaned towards the latter.
This time, even Chief Zhao didn't need to say anything harsh; the villagers all shouted, "Pay back if you don't work!"
Humph, how can there be two ways of taking advantage of each other in this world?
With over a hundred taels of silver, how many maids and servants can you buy, how many coolies can you hire?!
The three Zhao brothers worked as hangers-on in the town and county, but they could not earn much throughout the year.
Even if they paid off their debts with work, the debt owed by the Zhao brothers would be enough for them to work for Gu's mother and son for several years.
Not to mention, they are still "family".
The ancients lived together in clans, and the power of clans was very strong, so they could keep each other warm.
They will never allow their family to have a black sheep who plots against relatives and harms the clan members.
"If you don't want either, just get out of Zhao Village!"
"That's right! We in Zhaojiazhuang are the most benevolent and righteous people. We won't tolerate such selfish, cold-hearted, shameless and scoundrels!"
Seeing that they were about to arouse public outrage, Zhao Dashan and his family were all panicked.
"No! No! We are willing! We are willing to help my sister-in-law! Not only my child's father, but I am also willing to work for my sister-in-law!"
This time it was Zhao's wife who spoke, her eyes full of anxiety.
She couldn't help but be anxious, as her eldest son was fifteen years old this year and was about to get married.
If the Zhao family has a bad reputation, his son will have no chance of marrying a good wife.
Not to mention, if he really continued to hold on, he might be driven out of Zhaojiazhuang.
How can they live without their clan and neighbors?
Do I have to leave my hometown and go to another place to be bullied?
It's just some work, they often do it at home.
Why make things so awkward?
"Yes! We do too!"
Zhao Er's wife also realized that she also had a son and wanted to marry a good daughter-in-law.
Your reputation really can’t be ruined!
In this way, the three brothers Zhao Da, Zhao Er, and Zhao Si reached an agreement -
Every thirty days of the month, each family takes turns going to Zhao Guodong's house to help with work.
Men like Zhao Da helped with heavy work such as chopping wood, fetching water, moving things, repairing and mending things.
Zhao Er's wife and other women helped to boil water, cook, wash clothes, and take apart and wash bedding.
When Patriarch Zhao saw that the matter was "satisfactorily resolved", both the Gu mother and son showed gratitude to him, and the old man was very satisfied.
The next day, he went to the county and reported Gu Qingcheng's story of remaining faithful to her husband.
In less than half a month, Gu Qingcheng became a chaste woman recognized by the court.
Zhao Da and the other three families worked hard for Gu Qingcheng and her son.
One month, two months... By the third month, things had become a little dull, and they began to think of cheating.
Gu Qingcheng did not make a noise, but came to the door of the Zhao family's old house with a weak and graceful manner.
cry!
Gu Qingcheng perfectly replicated the original owner's appearance and cried at the slightest provocation.
However, Gu Qingcheng cried more beautifully and rhythmically than the original owner!
She cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears, and Du Juan cried so hard that her eyes were bleeding.
He was really crying blood and spitting out mouthfuls of blood, which shocked the Zhao family's old house and the surrounding neighbors.
In people's perception, vomiting blood at a young age is a sign of death.
Gu was a virtuous wife who remained faithful to her husband. She treated her husband's family as one family and did not allow her own family to interfere in her affairs.
The people in the Zhao family's old house forced such a good woman to vomit blood and die...
ps: I'd better ask for a monthly ticket, (#^.^#)
