"If you really want to give up the money, then marry Nanzhi girl, and at the same time ask Youcai and his wife to agree to break off the relationship with Nanzhi girl!"
They were adoptive parents. Five hundred dollars bought out their kindness. From now on, whether they raise you when you are alive or bury you when you die, we have no relationship at all!
How could Father and Mother Xie not agree? After thanking him repeatedly, they followed the old village chief to Gu's house.
When they arrived, Gu Youcai and Li Chunhua were lying on the bed, grimacing in pain and cursing Gu Nanzhi to the sky. Gu Jianguo and Gu Jinxiu had returned home and started cursing Gu Nanzhi as well.
After hearing the purpose of the group's visit, Gu Youcai and Li Chunhua's first reaction was to refuse.
"Break off the engagement? You want to marry that little bitch Gu Nanzhi for 500 yuan, and you want us to break off the engagement with her? No way!"
"It's not easy for us to raise her to this age. If you don't sell her for a few thousand, no one can take her away from my home!"
Seeing them raising the price, Old Man Xie started to scold them, "It was not easy for you to raise her. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that you treat your daughter badly. You treat her like a mule and make her sleep in a pigsty, without even giving her a meal!"
"Five hundred, not a cent more! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. It's up to you whether you agree or not!"
Having said that, Old Man Xie took Mother Xie and the old village chief and left.
Gu Jianguo, whose eyes were darting around, got anxious when he saw this. He grabbed Old Man Xie who was about to leave and yelled at Gu Youcai and his wife, "If they want to break off the marriage with 500 yuan, then they can do so. With 500 yuan, I can marry any kind of wife I want. I don't even want the divorced woman from the Xie family who gave birth to two money-losing women!"
"I want to marry a city girl and blind everyone's eyes!"
Gu Youcai and Li Chunhua treated Gu Nanzhi harshly, but they loved their own children deeply. When they heard their son say this, and thought of the 500 yuan of fat meat in their mouths...
They wouldn't let it fly!
"Dad, Mom, what are you hesitating about?"
Seeing this, Gu Jinxiu also chimed in, "That little bitch Gu Nanzhi is not worth even 500 yuan. You guys were beaten lightly, do you want her to come back and beat you again? Why don't you just stop and cut off all ties with her!"
She is getting married soon, and now that her parents have money, they can buy her a decent dowry!
She wanted a bicycle and a foreign watch, and she wanted one with three wheels and one beep. Wang Bingcheng dared to look down on her for being uneducated and a country bumpkin...
Now that both the son and daughter have spoken, what else can Gu Youcai and Li Chunhua say?
With the old village chief as guarantor, the two of them wrote a letter of severance of engagement. The two of them signed their names and stamped their fingerprints, accepted the money from the Xie family as a betrothal gift, and agreed that Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting would get their marriage certificate and move their household registration tomorrow. Then Xie's father and mother took the letter of severance of engagement and the Gu family's household registration booklet and left.
Xiejia Village.
Xie Ruyun and Gu Nanzhi were each holding a little girl, waiting eagerly at home. Xie Ruyun's eldest daughter was five years old, named Zhaodi, and her second daughter was three and a half years old, nicknamed Tuanzi. Both little girls were very well-behaved and obedient, with small, timid bodies and big eyes, and were very lovable.
Upon learning that Father and Mother Xie had returned with the severance letter and household registration booklet, Gu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just arrived and her mind was still a mess. She hadn't even thought about breaking off the engagement letter. Fortunately, the old village chief had thought it through. She had managed to escape half of the pit of the Gu family. As for the other half...
Because she knew that it would not be easy for her to get a marriage certificate with Xie Zhenting, because the original book mentioned that Xie Zhenting and Xu Xiangling had to apply for marriage, and the application and review took one or two months, during which time Xu Xiangling's original family was also investigated...
If she guessed correctly, Xie Zhenting's identity information should have been no longer in the Xie family. But looking at the happy faces of the Xie family, they should not know it yet!
Although it is a little difficult to get a marriage certificate for the time being, she must find a way to move her household registration out of the Gu family tomorrow, at least before the Gu family wastes the 500 yuan!
That’s right!
The five hundred yuan was earned by Xie Zhenting with his life. Gu Nanzhi couldn't just give it to those jackals of the Gu family for free!
If you want to suck her blood and eat her human flesh buns, just dream on!
She knew exactly where the Gu family's rat hole was. As soon as the household registration was moved out, she would immediately go and get the 500 yuan back!
That night, Gu Nanzhi stayed at Xie's house.
The Xie family not only has three large tiled houses, but also two auxiliary rooms in the east and west. Father and Mother Xie put a closet in the middle room of the three large tiled houses and live in the inner room separated by the closet. The east room is now Xie Zhenting's ward, and the west room is where Xie Jianbang and Du Guirong live with their son.
It happened that Du Guirong's parents had something going on, so the family of three went to stay in Dujia Village on the other side of the mountain. It was quiet at home.
After Xie Ruyun returned to her parents' home, she lived in the west wing with her two daughters. The east wing was originally occupied by Xie Zhenting's youngest sister Xie Ruhua, but she is now studying in a boarding school in town and only goes home once every half a month, so Gu Nanzhi temporarily lives in her house.
Gu Nanzhi was injured and did not sleep well that night. She tossed and turned in dreams. Her dreams were full of details about her life in the Gu family and the plot that was about to happen in the book. It was as if she had experienced it herself. The sense of substitution was so strong that she woke up with a throbbing temple.
But when she heard the noise outside, Gu Nanzhi quickly put on her clothes and saw that Xie's mother was already lighting a fire in the kitchen, so she quickly rolled up her sleeves to help...
"You and the eldest brother are going to the town to get the marriage certificate today. It's just in time for us to take him to the town hospital for another checkup. On the way, we can go to the school to see his youngest sister and give her some steamed buns and pickles..."
The Xie family was well off, but that was before Xie Zhenting got into trouble.
Once Xie Zhenting got into trouble, the pillar of the Xie family collapsed. Moreover, according to the plot of the original book, someone secretly embezzled Xie Zhenting's pension and monthly medical allowance...
The Xie family had to take Xie Zhenting to seek medical treatment, support their youngest daughter who was in school, and raise their daughter and granddaughter who came home after divorce. In addition, the 500 yuan they spent on buying Gu Nanzhi drained out their family's savings, so they naturally lived a tight life...
Seeing that Xie's mother refused to add oil after cutting the pickles, Gu Nanzhi said in a low voice while lighting the fire, "No need to take Xie Zhenting to the hospital. The hospital in town can't cure his disease, but I can!"
"ah?"
Looking at Xie's mother's shocked expression, Gu Nanzhi smiled.
"Auntie, haven't you heard that there was an old couple who were sent down to the countryside in our village? They were the ones who lived in the cowshed. They were both from Beijing. It was said that they used to teach at the Medical University. They were assigned to my family for assistance and renovation, and I have been taking care of them the whole time."
"I learned a lot from them. I often went up the mountain to chop firewood and help them collect herbs. If someone in the village had a bruise, a headache, or a fever but didn't dare to ask them for treatment, they would ask me for help."
Gu Nanzhi did not lie about this. There really was such an old couple in Gujia Village. They did not survive the winter last year and died one after another. The original owner did learn some medical skills from them, but it was only a little bit!
