Chapter 24 She left her man and ran away
As to why Gu Xixi looked down on Chen Fang, there are many different opinions.
The most outrageous and malicious thing is that the man is good-looking but useless, a useless piece of silver.
Gu Qingye mustered up the courage to look up at him and said seriously, "Brother Chen, I don't listen to or believe anything they say about you."
"I saw with my own eyes that you are a real man."
What Gu Qingye said was all true.
In her mind, Mu Nanzhao was so handsome, tall, and heroic.
Especially when he faced the gazes of the women in the village, his indifference seemed natural and innate, without any pretense.
Gu Qingye has been surrounded by boys in the village since she was a child.
Occasionally, someone would act as if they didn't care about her, but she could always see through it at a glance and realized that it was just a means to attract her attention.
She also has a violent and incompetent father and a stupid and wretched brother at home.
Mu Nanzhao was different from any man she had ever met.
When she first saw him, she was immediately attracted by his appearance.
When she watched him kill the cow, her heart trembled involuntarily for a moment.
Later, in the part of her memory that belonged to her, Mu Nanzhao was like a handsome military god who appeared in front of her in a moment of crisis, saved her, and took away her heart.
Gu Qingye looked at Mu Nanzhao with admiration.
Mu Nanzhao, however, stared elsewhere, frowned and said nothing.
Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. He could predict how bad the rumors from the outside world would be without asking.
Although he never cared what the ants thought.
But he allowed a group of ants to act recklessly and used him as gossip in the small village.
Not so pleasant after all.
Come to think of it...it's been such a long time, why hasn't Gu Xixi come back from the kitchen yet? !
Gu Qingye observed Mu Nanzhao's expression and thought that he was also dissatisfied with Gu Xixi at the moment, so he smiled and said:
"Sister Xixi likes handsome men the most. How could she look down on Brother Chen?"
"But if she behaves like that in front of outsiders, it's inevitable that people will think that it's Brother Chen who's wrong."
"She never explained. To be honest, I feel sorry for you."
Mu Nanzhao stood up suddenly, which scared Gu Qingye.
She was about to ask what was wrong, but the man didn't even look at her and strode out.
Mu Nanzhao lifted the door curtain of the kitchen, "Gu Xixi!"
Aunt Zhang was sitting on a small stool drinking soup, "Xiao Chen?"
She stood up and went to the cupboard to get a bowl of soup, saying, "Xixi just ate here and left."
"Today's baked chive pie and dried bean soup are both ready-made meals that can be eaten at any time."
"I heard you weren't hungry just now, so I didn't rush to serve it to you."
Mu Nanzhao's tone was cold, "She said I'm not hungry?"
"Yes." Aunt Zhang turned around and stuffed the soup bowl into his hands. "The pies are covered in the basket. Take as much as you want."
"You just need to eat more so that you can be strong."
Mu Nanzhao was already very angry at this time.
But he still drank the soup and ate big chunks of cake under Aunt Zhang's loving gaze.
Gu Qingye waited in the main room but no one showed up, so he went outside the kitchen.
"Brother Chen? Sister Xixi? Are you in there?"
Recently, because of Gu Laosan and his wife and Gu Tiezhu, Aunt Zhang's impression of Gu Qingye has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
She muttered in a low voice, somewhat unhappily, "She went to someone else's house at dinner time and sat there with a heavy butt until now. Her parents really don't know how to teach their children!"
As she said this, she lifted the curtain and went out, still forcing a smile.
"Your sister Xixi is out. Chen Fang is having dinner."
"How about you come in and have a bite?"
Gu Qingye is not so tactless.
She looked inside the door, but didn't see Mu Nanzhao, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"I won't eat it anymore. If the home-cooked food is left over, my mother will scold me."
Gu Qingye went home.
Aunt Zhang turned and went inside, muttering to herself, "I don't know what she came here for today."
Mu Nanzhao took a big bite of the pancake expressionlessly, "You'll have to ask Gu Xixi about that."
Aunt Zhang was puzzled. What did this have to do with Xixi?
In the evening, Gu Xixi returned home with a tail following her.
Old Qian was very happy and smiling earnestly, and he almost personally helped Gu Xixi walk.
"Niece, the fire was properly resolved thanks to you."
Gu Xixi said, "Don't worry, Uncle Qian, I have already told those uncles and aunts."
"The straw ash is now fully decomposed. We can use it for this season without delaying the planting of winter wheat. After the spring rains, the fertility will only be stronger than before."
Old Qian nodded repeatedly, "I know this, I know."
"Everyone is praising you and saying they don't know how to thank you!"
Mu Nanzhao learned from Lao Qian's grateful mumblings what Gu Xixi had been busy with recently.
In addition to visiting her own fields every day, she also improved other people's fields that had been burned.
The burnt ashes piled up thickly on the ground, and the surface of the field was burned dry, hard and black.
The potion she prepared can enhance the fusion of ashes and soil, speed up decomposition, and adjust the overall acidity and alkalinity.
Just pour the diluted potion on the ashes, turn it over and mix it with the soil.
In the early stage, they chose crops suitable for growing with wood ash. In addition to pumpkins and leeks that are available in every local household, Gu Xixi also forced Lao Qian to find a way to get some free water spinach seedlings from other places.
Half a month later, the pumpkins and leeks that we planted have sprouted, and the water spinach will be ready to eat soon. It grows too lush to be eaten, so today two families went to the city to sell water spinach and made a little money.
Not only did the land not become idle due to the fire, but the family actually had more income.
Those poor families were skeptical about Gu Xixi's method at first, but now they are overjoyed.
They were busy growing vegetables to make money and were too lazy to continue arguing with Gu Laosan's family. In the afternoon, they went to the village chief to withdraw their lawsuit.
Gu Xixi nodded, indicating that she knew everything.
Seeing that Old Qian was still reluctant to leave, I had no choice but to ask, "Uncle Qian, is there anything else?"
Old Qian's smile was half guilty and half flattering, "Others have all withdrawn."
"Only Uncle Gu's family is left."
"You said that the two families have never reconciled. There are many young men in Mr. Gu's family, and they are hot-blooded. If the hatred lasts for a long time, what if something big happens one day?"
Gu Xixi frowned, "I only promised you to solve the problem of the land, but I didn't promise you anything else."
Lao Qian smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver the flatbed truck I promised you to your home later."
"But look at what happened to Master Gu..."
Gu Xixi said calmly, "I can't control this."
The few houses that were burned at that time had basically just finished harvesting wheat.
Only Uncle Gu's family was dedicated to growing vegetables, and they suffered some losses.
Gu Laosan refused to pay compensation and even remembered what Uncle Gu had taken from his house.
So, just now, Uncle Gu went to Lao Qian to ask for an explanation.
He threatened to destroy Gu Laosan's house if the problem was not resolved.
