As soon as she saw the scrambled eggs, Gu Jiayue's throat began to itch.
Let’s not talk about how the eggs are fried, just look at the plate that holds the eggs, has it never been washed?
These people cannot see the dark layer of dust around them.
Perhaps Gu Jiayue's look of disdain was too obvious, and this time Liu Shi actually understood what she meant in seconds.
She quickly wiped the edge of the plate with her sleeve, but there was a layer of hard, dirty, yellowish-black substance on Liu's sleeve.
Just now, when she entered the room, Liu used this sleeve to wipe the snot blown out by the cold wind...
Gu Jiayue quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. The scent of gardenia on the handkerchief suppressed the itch that was about to come out of her throat.
Seeing that Gu Jiayue had no intention of picking up her chopsticks, Liu became a little anxious. There was something different added to the egg. If Gu Jiayue didn't eat it, how could her plan succeed?
Then he didn't care anymore and directly picked up a handful of eggs with his chopsticks and put them in Gu Jiayue's bowl. "Eat it, don't be polite. People in our village are always so hospitable to guests. If there are any good things at home, we will give them to guests first."
Gu Jiayue quickly pulled her hand back from the bowl, fearing that it would touch Liu's chopsticks and the eggs in the bowl. "You guys eat, I'm not hungry yet."
As he spoke, Gu Jiayue moved the stool back and forth, trying to get further away from the table.
Seeing that Gu Jiayue really didn't want to eat, Liu became very anxious.
Old Man Qian, standing by, tugged at Liu. "Since Gu's niece doesn't want to eat, why don't you make her a bowl of chrysanthemum water? Remember, wash the bowl thoroughly before making the water; the chrysanthemums are at the top of the dish."
This time, Liu understood immediately. "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Although chrysanthemums are grown on the mountains in the village, it is not easy to make dible chrysanthemum tea, so Liu would not just put this thing in the kitchen cupboard.
Besides, wasn't the top shelf of that cupboard filled only with the medicine she'd spent so much money on?
The old man asked Liu to make another cup of water with medicine in it.
In order to prevent Gu Jiayue from making excuses not to drink again, Liu was unusually diligent. She not only washed the bowl three times with clean water from the well, but also washed the soaked chrysanthemums with water.
Looking at the chrysanthemum tea brought by Liu, Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was something edible.
It took a long time to walk from Taohua Village to Moshi Village. After returning home and going through all these things at the Qian family, Gu Jiayue was already thirsty.
Seeing that the bowl of water was still drinkable, Gu Jiayue picked it up and drank it without thinking too much.
When Liu saw Gu Jiayue drink the water, she couldn't help but get excited. If Old Man Qian hadn't secretly slapped her, she would have jumped up and laughed like a villain.
Fortunately, fortunately she held back.
She quickly ate her meal, patted her skirt, and stood up to walk out. "Jiayue, come with me to find the village chief. If I go alone, he might not be willing to come."
Gu Jiayue was a little confused. Dividing the family was a big deal in the village, so why would the village chief be unwilling to come?
Is it possible that the village chief of Moshi Village is different from that of Taohua Village?
Besides, she was from another village, a little girl at that. How could the village chief know her? Why should he give her face?
"I'm not kidding. Your fame has spread throughout the surrounding villages. After the age of fifteen, they will all send their children to your school. So as long as they mention your name, they won't refuse you."
When people want to do something bad, they don't feel any trouble at all. Even the brainless Liu has become much smarter today.
Gu Jiayue thought about it and realized that what Liu said made sense. The Qian family was undoubtedly a troublemaker in the village. Who would want to associate with such a family? Naturally, no one would believe what they said, and they might even be less credible than a person from another village like her.
Gu Jiayue stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you." If the family could be divided up quickly, it would be a good thing. It was just a short trip, not a big deal for Gu Jiayue.
She didn't know why, but she always felt her legs were a little weak, as if she had no strength.
Is it because I didn't eat? Maybe.
But she looked back at the things on the table, and suddenly she seemed to have some strength again.
"Walk!"
Hu Zi hurriedly tried to catch up, but Qian Yulin's older brother, Qian Yumu, quickly grabbed his hand. "Hey, little bro, I see you're driving pretty well. Did you learn this?"
This is really just making small talk.
But who is Hu Zi? He is Gu Jiayue's most loyal servant. No matter what his current status is, the safety of the young lady will always be his first priority.
He shook off Qian Yumu's hand and only used three times of strength, and Qian Yumu was pushed to the ground.
Humph, garbage!
Hu Zi didn't even look at Qian Yumu who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, and followed him.
But when he left the yard, he looked around but didn't see anyone.
Although the roads on both sides were not straight, one could see very far ahead by just looking up. He was only delayed for a short while, so it was impossible for him not to see any human figures.
Unless they didn't take the high road.
Hu Zi walked back to the yard and looked down at Old Man Qian. "Which direction do I take to get to the village chief's house? Is there a side road?"
Old Man Qian nodded quickly and pointed in a direction. "Yes, walk about ten steps to the left and you'll see a ridge. Walking along it will get you to the village chief's house faster."
Hu Zi's eyes were so fierce that Old Man Qian felt a little scared.
But thinking of the benefits Liu mentioned, he pointed in the opposite direction.
Anyway, it's too late to regret now.
Hu Zi stepped forward and lifted his collar, without any further ado, he said, "Lead the way!"
Old Man Qian had no choice but to take Hu Zi to the village chief's house.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, the two shouted for a long time before the village chief of Moshi Village slowly walked out.
Seeing that it was Old Man Qian, the village chief's eyes flashed with disgust. Then he asked in a very bad tone: "Qian Sande? What are you doing here?"
Old Man Qian didn't dare to speak. He was trembling all over at this moment because he could feel the anger emanating from Hu Zi behind him.
Hu Zi looked at Village Chief Qian. "Village Chief Qian, I'm the teacher of Qiushi Academy in Taohua Village. Today, our headmaster is visiting Qian Sande's home. A quarter of an hour ago, Qian Sande's wife, Liu, brought our headmaster to see you. May I ask if you've seen them?"
What?
Village Chief Qian was so shocked by what Hu Zi said that he stood there in a daze.
He had never met the principal of the Qiushi Academy in Taohua Village, but he had heard of his name. He even planned to send his child there to study after he turned fifteen.
Unexpectedly, the principal of the school came to see him in person.
Thinking about the changes in Taohua Village over the past year, although he was not very clear about the reasons, he could probably guess some of them.
He couldn't help but wonder if their village was also suitable for running a school. Would this mountain headmaster also run a school in their village?
But then he thought of what Hu Zi said, that they had already set out a quarter of an hour ago. But he still hadn't seen them. "I haven't seen them. Did they take the wrong road?"
After saying this, he felt it was impossible. Liu was a native of this village. How could she lead the wrong way?
Thinking of Liu's character, he also became anxious. "Master, I really haven't seen Shanzhang Gu. But as long as she is in this village, I will definitely find her. I will ask someone to help me find her right away."
After the village chief finished speaking, he was about to run to find someone, but was stopped by Hu Zi.
Hu Zi took a deep breath. If he still didn’t know that he was being cheated by the Qian family, then he would be a fool.
He threw Old Man Qian to the ground with all his might and said viciously, "If my young lady loses even a hair, I will make three generations of your Qian family pay with their lives."
Before Old Man Qian could get up, Hu Zi stepped on his chest again. "Tell me, where is my daughter?"
