The twenty-fifth day of being eavesdropped
That old man Guan had a really bad temper, and he drove Gu Jinshui out directly.
Gu Jinshui was also shameless, so he didn't leave in a hurry. After he went out, he found a corner to squat and waited for a long time. Then, that old man Guan went out, and Aunt Guan came out to fetch water. He went up to her and said, "Auntie, let me fetch you some water."
He snatched the bucket from Auntie's hand, filled it with water from the well, and carried it to Old Guan's house. He ran back and forth twice and filled all the water tanks in the yard. He was so tired that he was sweating all over.
Aunt Guan was a little embarrassed, rubbing her hands awkwardly, and poured him a bowl of water, "Young man, don't bother. My husband said he would not sell it, and I can't convince him."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't force you."
Gu Jinshui lifted his sleeves to wipe the sweat, gulped down a bowl of water, and said, "Actually, I just want to ask about your granddaughter. Is there any difficulty in your family?"
Aunt Guan sighed and looked at Gu Jinshui in surprise.
Gu Jinshui smiled, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, "Isn't this related to Mr. Chen? The old man is also very concerned about your family. I can't pretend not to hear it when I hear it."
So that's what happened.
Aunt Guan sighed and sat down on the bench.
She was also in a bad mood. She usually had no one to talk to. Now that she met someone, she couldn't help complaining: "This is really unavoidable. I don't know what sins our ancestors committed. A few years ago, my daughter-in-law had a difficult birth and gave birth to a granddaughter, Daya. The child had problems with her legs and feet when she was born and couldn't walk. A few years later, her father passed away. There were only the two of us and the little one left at home. Daya is really unfortunate..."
Gu Jinshui listened carefully.
He also felt a little sympathetic. Since ancient times, people with disabilities have been discriminated against, especially those who were born with disabilities. People don't know what's going on, but they say that this person has a hard life. Seeing that Daya is 20 years old this year, it's time to talk about marriage.
It is really hard to find a good marriage. If the family is a little bit better, the man himself will not be willing to marry. As for the old couple of the Guan family, they are old and they are worried that if they die, Daya will be miserable.
Especially in the countryside, there are many bastards who knock on the door of widows in the middle of the night. They are still here, so it is not too bad. If the old couple are gone, Daya, an orphan, will be eaten by others.
Master Guan found a family with several sons. The family was very poor and did not ask for bribes. So he married his granddaughter to the family. In this way, at least the old couple could close their eyes and rest in peace after they died.
This family is the Bai family.
But since the marriage was arranged, the Bai family has become more and more arrogant. Isn't it spring thaw now? The soil has to be turned over in the countryside at this time. If you are diligent, you can plant some potatoes and peppers at this time, which can be vegetables, right?
The Bai family asked Daya to work in the fields. Seven or eight acres of land were asked to be worked by Daya alone, while the men in their family lay at home.
Aunt Guan was wiping tears when she talked about this.
Gu Jinshui couldn't bear it, so he took out his handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears.
"Didn't Daya's boyfriend say anything?"
"Of course he didn't say anything."
Aunt Guan slapped her thigh, "The man has pockmarks all over his face, and our Daya didn't dislike him, but he disliked our Daya because of her bad legs."
Gu Jinshui opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that this was the case before marriage, what would happen after marriage, this man is not good enough, but after thinking about it, it’s not that she doesn’t know that he is not good enough, but she really can’t find another one.
If she had other ways, she would have changed
people long ago. Gu Jinshui thought about it and took out a banknote from his pocket, "Old lady, don’t be sad, I think there will always be a way out, your family are all kind-hearted people, God will bless you, here is a little money, you can keep it to buy some delicious food."
"No, how can we accept your money without any reason?"
Aunt Guan was shocked when she saw that it was a dollar, and quickly refused.
Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "Just take it. I feel like I'm seeing my grandma. I'm very close to you. Besides, I have a selfish motive. If the old man changes his mind and wants to sell something, you can ask someone to go to the big courtyard in the third block of Maoer Hutong to find Gu Jinshui. The price can be negotiated."
Aunt Guan's mouth trembled for a long time, and she nodded hesitantly with a red face.
"Don't worry, I'll remember this."
The old lady was an honest person. Not long after Gu Jinshui left, at dusk, Grandpa Guan and Guan Daya, one old and one young, came into the house one after another, both silent.
Aunt Guan served the cooked sweet potato porridge and salted cabbage dumplings fried with meat.
When Grandpa Guan saw the stir-fried meat with pickled cabbage and lumps, he frowned and glared, "Where did you get the meat?"
"I bought it myself, I didn't steal it!"
The old lady's tone was also a little angry. She looked at Daya's pale face and felt sorry for her. She put a piece of meat into Daya's bowl with chopsticks, "Daya, eat more meat. You don't have to go tomorrow, right?" Daya
shook her head and ate the meat without saying anything. After that, she refused to eat the meat when the old lady put it in her again. She said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, you eat with Grandpa, I won't eat it."
When the old lady heard this, her heart was sour.
At night, Daya went to bed.
When Master Guan came in from outside, Aunt Guan said, "Guan Dechang! You have to sell that snuff bottle even if you don't want to!"
"What do you mean? Do you want to rebel?" Master Guan stared at Aunt Guan.
Aunt Guan covered her face with a coarse cloth handkerchief and cried, "I just want to rebel, so what? What is a snuff bottle? How can it be more important than your granddaughter? The Bai family has been tormenting our Daya all day long, isn't it just because they dislike our Daya for not having a dowry! Your Guan family has sold so many things, and this thing is still missing!"
"My poor Daya!"
Aunt Guan was afraid that Daya would hear, so she covered her mouth and cried.
The anger on Master Guan's face gradually faded, his expression was pale, he placed his hands on his thighs, the snuff bottle was a thought of his, with the snuff bottle, he seemed to still be the young master of the Guan family.
But things are not as important as living people.
"It's done, I'll sell it, right?"
Master Guan sighed, and stopped smoking.
He said with a wooden face, "That bastard wanted our snuff bottle, and he also told you the contact information."
Aunt Guan looked up from her handkerchief and asked him, "Are you really selling it?"
"You can't keep it even if you don't sell it." Grandpa Guan coughed, "If we die, leaving this thing to Daya will only benefit the Bai family. Well, I'll just let my ancestors down."
Gu Jinshui was not too sad when he hit a wall with Grandpa Guan.
He Chunlian had to go to work these days, and the old lady was very busy. She had to get up early to warm up her voice, practice her body movements, and rehearse with her colleagues at school. It was said that they would perform a play "Qin Xianglian" at the beginning of the new semester. Therefore, she was so busy every day that she couldn't take care of the children.
Liang Ying and Gu Yinxing had to go to work again, so this matter could only be handed over to Gu Jinshui.
Gu Yousi was in big trouble.
She lay soundly in bed, basking in the sun, and her life was very happy.
Her father came over with a radio and said, "Girl, do you want to go to the opera with us? Today's opera is quite good. It's about the story of Yue Fei..."
and a bunch of other things.
In short, he just wouldn't let Gu Yousi go.
Just when Gu Yousi was so angry that she wanted to get out, someone outside shouted, "Is Gu Jinshui at home?"
Gu Jinshui heard the noise, turned off the radio, went out and saw, "Is it the postman? Is there a letter for me?"
The postman said, "It's not a letter, but a verbal message. Master Guan from Beizang Village wants to sell something. If you want it, come to his house tomorrow morning to discuss it."
The postman said this at the door and turned around to leave.
He was just delivering the message as a side job, the main thing was to deliver the letter.
Gu Jinshui hurried down the stairs, "Wait, comrade, didn't Master Guan say anything else?"
"No." The postman looked at him and said, "Just that one sentence."
He was really short-tempered.
Gu Jinshui murmured in his heart, afraid that Master Guan would offer a high price this time.
He saw the postman staring at the cigarettes in his pocket, so he took out the half-empty pack of Daqianmen, "Thank you for the trouble, it's just a little gift, don't be polite."
"Thank you."
The postman took it with great joy.
Although a pack of Daqianmen is only 48 cents, most people are reluctant to smoke such an expensive one, not to mention the cigarette coupons. With the money and coupons, they would rather exchange them for meat.
The postman left happily.
Gu Jinshui went back to the room to think about the matter. Although he was happy that his father had given in, he also knew that this time he would have to bleed a lot of money. The jade snuff bottle would probably cost at least five or six hundred yuan.
In order to be on the safe side, Gu Jinshui also took out a sewn airline ticket from his private treasury, just in case.
On the other side.
Postman Xiao Zhang had just got off work when he was stopped by Song Jianshe.
"Brother Song, why are you here?" Xiao Zhang looked a little embarrassed, after all, he had been taking over Song Jianshe's shifts these days.
Song Jianshe took out a cigarette from his pocket with a smile on his face and gave it to Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, how is my brother treating you on weekdays?"
"Of course, you have helped me a lot since I came to our bureau."
Xiao Zhang was very slick.
Although Song Jianshe was reprimanded by the director these days and was asked to go home and suspend his work for a month to reflect on his mistakes, he was not fired after all, and he might be promoted again one day.
Xiao Zhang dared not offend him.
"Since we are such a close friend, can you tell me something?"
Song Jianshe asked with a smile.
"Didn't you go to our big compound this afternoon? You said someone sent a message to Gu Jinshui, where that family lives and what their name is."
Xiao Zhang was stunned and blinked.
Why does this matter have a weird feeling?
He didn't want to get involved, so he just checked the address of the master's house.
As for what Song Jianshe wanted to do, Xiao Zhang didn't bother to think about it.
"Brother, I can leave now."
"Okay, go ahead." Song Jianshe smiled and watched Xiao Zhang ride away with a sneer on his face.
Bastard Gu Jinshui!
Don't blame him for revenge if you dare to trick him into buying fake goods.
Beizang Village is very remote. It takes two or three hours to get there from Beijing by car or on foot. Gu Jinshui can run so far, so there must be good stuff there.
This time I'll intercept it myself.
Let's see how Gu Jinshui can still laugh!
