Chapter 15 Being Cheated
Gu Jinli looked very strange and asked Gu Jinan quietly: "Brother, why do my aunt and uncle always run towards the rich man's motorcade?"
Gu Jin'an said: "Our eldest uncle is the shopkeeper in the town. He likes to deal with rich households the most. Along the way, he has made friends with many stewards of wealthy households through conversation."
Gu Jinli glanced at Qian Guangzong and saw Qian Guangzong talking to a short and fat man with his head bowed. The two of them didn't know what they said and suddenly burst into laughter.
In the memory of the original owner, this uncle really liked to curry favor with the servants of wealthy families.
However, she felt a little uneasy and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother, do you think they will take revenge on our family because of the water source?"
She discovered the source of the water but did not tell the old Gu family, causing the old Gu family to lose the opportunity to be prominent in the village. With Old Mrs. Gu's vengeful temper, she would definitely not swallow this breath and would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate.
Gu Jinan frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Then let's be careful during this period and be careful not to cause trouble for us."
Gu Jinli nodded, and the two siblings told the other four people in the family about their worries, reminding them to be wary of the old Gu family in the recent period.
Ms. Cui and Gu Jinxiu were very frightened. They were afraid of the old Gu family from the bottom of their hearts.
When Gu Dashan heard what Gu Jinli said, his face was a little ugly because of hunger, but he still nodded, saying that he would be wary of the old Gu family.
For the next ten days, the six members of Gu Jinli's family were always on guard against the old Gu family, for fear of offending the old Gu family. But the strange thing was that the old Gu family did not find fault with them. At most, they cursed their family as usual. , Mrs. Gus temper is still somewhat restrained.
Gu Dashan and Mr. Cui finally let go of their worries for ten days.
That afternoon, the victims who fled the famine found a semi-dry river. There were more than a dozen shallow puddles of water in the depths of the river. When the victims saw the puddles, they stopped excitedly and began to fetch water to rest.
But there were too many victims, and wealthy households sent out guards to seize the puddles. By the time the people in Gujia Village stopped and ran to the river, the river had already been robbed of all the water.
Village Chief Gu looked at the river that had turned into mudflats, smashed his dry and sticky mouth, and asked Gu Dashan next to him: "Da Shan, what should we do now?"
Ever since Gu Jinli found a water source for the village, in the past ten days, whenever they stopped to rest, Village Chief Gu asked Gu Dashan to take Gu Jinli around to find water sources for the village. Unfortunately, their luck seemed to have run out. For ten days in a row, No new water source has been found, and there is only a tiny bit of water left. If no water source is found, they will face the fate of dying of thirst again.
Gu Dashan pointed to the puddles and mire deep in the river and said: "This river has not completely dried up yet. We can dig out the silt in the puddles and dig deeper to get water out."
Xiaoyu told him these things, and also said that water is precious now, and his ability to find water can protect his family. He always remembered Xiaoyu's words.
After hearing this, the village chief immediately took more than 20 villagers to the depths of the river and asked Gu Dashan to look at the puddles. After selecting a puddle, he started digging mud.
They were lucky. After digging only more than three meters, water began to seep out of the puddle again.
The villagers were very happy and hurried back and asked their children to bring water containers to fill the water.
Little fish, go get water quickly, our village has dug water. Luo Huiniang ran to Gu Jinli with two water jars hanging on her shoulders and two water jars in her hands.
"Come right away." Gu Jinli hung the water jar on his elbows, took the wooden stick, handed a stone knife sharpened with a stone to Gu Jinxiu, and said: "Sister, Brother Cheng, you stay with Third Grandma. Come together, dont run around.
Their family now eats and sleeps with the third grandma's family, but Gu Jinli is still uneasy, fearing that Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jincheng will be in danger.
Gu Jinxiu tightened Brother Cheng's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, don't worry about us. Third Grandma is here, we will be fine."
The third grandma was looking for firewood nearby. When she heard this, she looked up and looked at Gu Jinli and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. The third grandma is here. You don't have to worry about Sister Xiu and Brother Cheng." "Thank you, the third grandma." Gu Jinli Follow Luo Huiniang and leave.
After the two of them left, Gu Jinxiu took Brother Cheng to tidy up the ground, lay out straw mats, and bury pots in preparation for dinner.
Sister Xiu~ Gu Rong, eight years old from Uncle Gus third uncles family, ran to find Gu Jinxiu.
When Gu Jinxiu saw Gu Rong, she was not afraid of the old Gu family, but was a little happy: "Sister Rong, why are you here?"
The third uncle's family is not favored by the old Gu family, especially Gu Rong, who is often disliked by Mrs. Gu because she is the granddaughter.
Gu Rong looked around and said quietly to Gu Jinxiu: "Sister Xiu, I'm beating my uncle again."
Gu Jinxiu panicked and asked hurriedly: "Why are you beating me again? How is my mother? Is she seriously injured?"The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Gu Rong said: "Nai is thirsty, but there is no water at home. I wonder if you have any water here? If the aunt didn't say anything, Nai was so angry that she beat her."
Gu Rong looked at the bamboo tube tied to Gu Jinxiu's waist and said, "Sister Xiu, if you still have water at home, hurry up and take it to save the eldest uncle. It will hurt to hit someone with your breasts."
Gu Rong's words pierced Gu Jinxiu's heart like a needle. She was worried about Mrs. Cui, so she didn't have time to tell the third grandma, so she hurriedly pulled Cheng Geer to the resting place of old Gu's house.
The resting place of the third grandmother's house is not far from the river, while the resting place of the old Gu's family is in a dry forest, quite some distance away, and it takes almost half a quarter of an hour to walk there.
But Gu Jinxiu didn't see Ms. Cui at the resting place of Old Gu's family, nor even Mrs. Gu or Mr. Gu or the others. It was a rare sight to see her aunt and uncle... and one who looked to be in his forties, with a short and fat figure and a face. A middle-aged man with a mole.
"That's her?" The short, fat, rumpled man saw Gu Jinxiu and stared at her like a wolf. He looked her up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "She looks pretty handsome, but she's too thin."
Qian Guangzong smiled and said: "Master Ding is the chief steward of the Qi Mansion. He has no shortage of rice and noodles. If you take it back and raise it in a few days, you will be able to grow meat."
Aunt Gu also said: "Sister Xiu is at a good age now. It will definitely not be a loss for Master Ding to take her back. She will be able to play with her for twenty years in the future."
Gu Jinxiu heard a lot of nasty things during his escape. After hearing this, he finally realized that he had been deceived. He was so angry that he trembled all over, but quickly picked up Brother Cheng and ran away.
Big brother and second brother, stop her quickly! Qian Lier screamed. She had finally tricked Gu Jinxiu into coming here, so how could she let her run away.
Qian Chenggui Qian Chengcai had already blocked Gu Jinxiu's path. When Gu Jinxiu wanted to rush away, he stretched out his legs and tripped her.
With a bang, Gu Jinxiu and Brother Cheng fell to the ground, their whole bodies aching from the fall.
Gu Jinxiu hugged Brother Cheng tightly and asked tremblingly: "Auntie...you, what do you want to do? I, I am here to bring milk and water...let me go back..."
"Go back? Sister Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qian Lier smiled, her eyes full of pride. Gu Jinxiu, this charming girl, was finally going to be destroyed.
Aunt Gu put on a loving smile and advised Gu Jinxiu: "Sister Xiu, we finally found a good family for you so that you don't have to chew leaves anymore. You have to cherish your blessings and follow Master Ding back home honestly. I have you." Enjoy endless blessings.
