Chapter 193 The Riddle of Good Sisters
Although the cause of today's incident was a mess, the result was finally good.
The leaders of the Gu family were satisfied and apologized to the village chief Lao Qian again, "We outsiders have disturbed Huachidu Village, which is really wrong. We were also disrespectful to the village chief, which was really wrong."
"Village Chief Qian, please accept three bows from all of us!"
Old Qian was already extremely angry and vowed to settle accounts with these scoundrels later.
But now, he looked at Gu Xixi and changed his mind, "Okay, let's be merciful."
"Since you have realized your mistakes, and for the sake of my niece Xixi, I will accept your three bows, and this matter will be over."
"But," he paused, his eyes filled with intimidation, "you must remember, there won't be a next time."
Everyone in the Gu family nodded repeatedly.
The leaders smiled and extended an invitation to Lao Qian, "It can be said that this time we met each other without fighting. The village chief is an open-minded and righteous person. We really admire him."
"A month after the summer harvest, there will be a clan gathering of our local Gu family. The clan will set up a buffet, one to celebrate the harvest and thank the land. Second, it is a rare gathering for clan members, so we invite Village Chief Qian and his wife to come to the banquet."
Lao Qian hesitated, "This..."
"Since this is an activity within your clan, it's not appropriate for us outsiders to participate."
The host said, "How is it inappropriate? You are a distinguished guest. As long as you don't mind, it's fine. I also hope you can give us a chance to formally apologize."
Aunt Qian said to Old Qian, "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. My husband, why don't you just agree to it."
She glanced at Gu Xixi with a smile, "Xixi will definitely go there too, anyway."
Old Qian then nodded and agreed, "Okay, that's settled!"
I have to say that the head of the Gu family is quite smart when he calms down.
From now on, they all rely on Gu Xixi, and maybe she will come to Huachidu Village often.
Lao Qian is the door god of this village, so how can he not pay his respects to the pier in advance?
The chaos came to an end.
A group of people with the surname Gu came in aggressively and left with smiles on their faces.
Gu Xixi and others watched them leave from where they stood.
He Jinglan said excitedly, "A family gathering after the summer harvest? A buffet? Such a lively event, Xixi, why have I never heard you talk about it?"
Gu Xixi said, "Because I have never participated in it."
"My father has been there a few times, but he said he always sat at the end and couldn't hear or see clearly, nor could he get a word in. It was really boring, so he later said he didn't have time and only went once every two years."
He Jinglan smiled and said, "This year it's different. If you go by yourself, you will definitely sit in the front row."
Gu Xixi looked at her with a smile, "This is all thanks to you."
"No, no." He Jinglan waved her hand. "It's because we work well together. Without me saying anything, you can catch the ladder I laid down and pave the way you want."
Gu Xixi said, "You are the first one to understand what road I really want to pave."
The two men smiled at each other, with a tacit understanding like close comrades-in-arms.
Except for Mu Nanzhao, the others seemed to be listening to a riddle and seemed to understand it but not quite.
An Qinghe was a straightforward person. He asked directly, "What road? What ladder? What kind of cooperation do you guys mention? Besides just shouting to those people and buying time for Master Gu to come, is there anything else?"
He Jinglan and Gu Xixi both chuckled.
He Jinglan said mischievously, "That's what you said, nothing else."
An Qinghe was a smart man since he could do such good business. Unfortunately, he was born in a small country in the Western Regions and had not been in Daye for very long.
He still cannot fully understand the "powerful" culture of the Daye people.
So he could sense that there was a deeper meaning behind the conversation between Gu Xixi and He Jinglan, but he couldn't figure it out.
As everyone was walking back, Gu Xixi glanced at Mu Nanzhao and found that Mu Nanzhao was looking at her with an extremely displeased look.
She looked away without leaving a trace and continued chatting and laughing with others.
At the same time, he was muttering to himself, the problem was obviously resolved, everyone was happy, why was he the only one angry?
But it didn't matter, she had something to talk to him alone later anyway.
Gu Xixi's home.
It was already time for dinner. Xiaohua jumped down from the windowsill where she was basking in the sun several times, walked to the center of the yard, and circled around the old doctor.
The old doctor stood there like a tree stump. Xiaohua was very sensible. She looked up several times to see that the old doctor did not move, so she had to jump back onto the windowsill.
Xiaohua was very confused. Where were the people in this family?
Normally at this time, Aunt Zhang or Shitou would have already fed it!
People, come back soon!
After jumping up and down several times in disappointment, Xiaohua finally moved her ears and ran out of the yard.
The old doctor listened attentively, and when he heard the familiar footsteps, his expression visibly relaxed.
With a straight face, he said, "If any of you are injured, come over here and let me take a look."
As soon as Gu Xixi stepped over the threshold, she immediately smiled and said, "Everything is fine. No one is injured. If you don't believe me, listen and smell it yourself."
Except for his eyesight, the old doctor's other five senses are more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
If someone is injured, he can make a judgment in advance by listening to the footsteps, breathing, or smelling the blood.
The old doctor said unhappily, "I heard that there was a fight over there, I'm afraid it's either death or injury."
"It's not easy for a blind old man like me to go over there, and I'll be holding you back. I can only wait at home."
"If any of you are carried back, we can rescue them as soon as possible. Maybe they can save their lives."
Aunt Zhang said, "What are you talking about? Are you blind or not? Are you a drag or not? You old man, do you believe what others say? It's not that serious!"
The old doctor was still a little unconvinced, "Really?"
Everyone nodded hurriedly when they received Aunt Zhang's look, "Really, of course it's true!"
Gu Xixi said, "Yes, those people were originally instigated by Master Gu and Master Gu, and they went back after knowing the truth."
"It's okay now, don't worry, ah."
Only then did the old doctor calm down completely.
"That's good. Next time you put yourself in danger, at least send me a message so that I can heal my wounds and save my life."
Xiaohua meowed, reminding everyone that it was time for lunch.
Aunt Zhang hurried to the kitchen, and He Jinglan quickly said she would go to help, and by the way, she arranged work for An Qinghe and Xiao Shitou.
"Shi Tou, you wash the vegetables, Boss An, light the fire, and I'll help Auntie."
He Jinglan took all the "outsiders" away like a gust of wind, and when she left, she did not forget to look back and give Gu Xixi a look.
The old doctor went back to the backyard to pack up his medicine box.
Only Gu Xixi and Mu Nanzhao were left in the front yard.
"I haven't thanked you yet."
"Why are you..."
They both spoke at the same time, both of them were stunned and a little embarrassed.
Mu Nanzhao said coldly, "You speak first."
Gu Xixi did not refuse, "An Qinghe said that the adopted child was given to him by Master Liu."
"The adopted son should be the one in Boss Zhao's hands, right?"
Mu Nanzhao did not comment.
Gu Xixi asked, "When did you discover this?"
