Chapter Seventeen
When Guo Shanren's wife passed away, Silangzi once gathered a group of rascals on Fengqi Street and rushed to Guoyu Village to cause trouble, commonly known as "fighting for life". But the mountain people in Guoyu Village were united enough and forced the group of rascals to block the village entrance and prevented them from entering the village. The two sides were tense and the atmosphere was very tense. Guo Ziyi led his grandson Guo Quanfa, who was dressed in white and mourning, knelt on the side of the road at the entrance of the village to apologize to Silangzi. The four ladies gathered were all a group of rascals. After walking for a day, there was no meal yet. Someone had already backed down. They all knew Guo Ziyi and asked Guo Ziyi to take care of a meal and leave. Guo Ziyi was afraid that those who came into the village would cause trouble, so he asked those who helped to bring a basket of steamed buns and a large bowl of stewed vegetables. The rascals snatched a bowl on the ground and started eating. Silangzi suddenly cried and said that he wanted to meet his daughter who was "unjustly dead".
This request is not an exaggeration, and Guo Ziyi has no reason not to agree. Two strong men in the village supported Silangzi and his arm, and supported Silangzi forward like kidnapping. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little calmer, the villagers were a little more alert. The group of thugs had enough food and drink, and all rushed into the village to fight. The villagers did not expect this. They all protected their wives and children, and could not make any moves to deal with the group of thugs' tossing. The worst
Of course, Guo Ziyi's home, all pots and pans were smashed and the food was scattered all over the ground. Guo Quanfa and his wife Nian Cuiying knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic. The thugs searched everywhere, and they put all the good things in their arms. Seeing this, Guo Shanren slipped away quietly. There was a coffin in the middle of the yard. Guo Ziyi simply moved a stool and sat next to the coffin without stopping. The four fools howled like a pig, saying that they wanted to seek life for their unjustly death.
A small hill was like a firewood moving towards the village on the mountain road. The naughty girl went up the mountain to chop firewood every day, and it was not all for her own cooking. Her appetite was amazing, and she would chop firewood for whoever was in charge of food. On that day, a man died in Guo Ziyi's family. The naughty girl ate breakfast at the Guo family. After dinner, she went up the mountain to chop firewood. She didn't know what happened in the village. The naughty girl carried the firewood to the gate of Guo Ziyi's family. The firewood bundle was too big to enter through the gate. The naughty girl put down the firewood bundle and saw that the Guo family's yard was messy, as if a group of robbers had come.
He was robbing in the yard. The idiot girl was like an iron tower. Dongdongdong walked into the yard, grabbed the two thugs' arms and twisted them. The two thugs immediately turned into mohua, crying and shouting at her parents. When the other thugs saw this formation, they couldn't make a difference. They were all so scared that they were pissed off. They slipped away from the gate with their hands and feet. They didn't have time to slip away and were grabbed by the idiot girl and beaten up. When the four stubborn boy saw that the formation was not good, they also wanted to slip away with oil on the soles of their shoes, but Guo Ziyi grabbed: "In-law, you can't leave, after burying the people, I will send you back to Fengqi in person."
Seeing that the gang of troubled men was subdued by a fool's woman alone, everyone in Guoyu Village applauded. In fact, Guo Shanren's wife has been sick for more than ten years. It is said that she was sick during confinement. Her lower body has been bleeding all year round. Fortunately, the Guo family runs a medicine shop, which is not enough for ordinary families. The four fools came to the Guo family to judge the matter, which was a righteous thing. It can not only seek justice for the dead daughter, but also earn face for himself, but also make Guo Ziyi look down upon her face. It is understandable to ask the Guo family to have a grand funeral. However, the silly bear did a foolish thing, and they actually gave each one.
A silver dollar hired a group of thugs to Guoyu Village to disturb trouble. The Guo family was only injured. Silangzi himself looked in the mirror, and there was no human being inside and outside. After the thugs left, Silangzi had no reason not to stay. If they stayed, they lost the right to seek justice for their daughter. Guo Shanren saw that the situation was calm and did not know where they sneaked out. When he returned to the yard, he knelt down at Silangzi. The four lambs could not beat or scold them. He was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger. He slapped himself twice in the face: "I'm so fucking shame to my ancestors."
In conscience, Guo Ziyi did spend a lot of money to bury his daughter-in-law. After all, he stirred it in a pot for more than ten years and left behind descendants for the Guo family. Everything was arranged according to Fengqi's highest standards back then. During the funeral, the whole village was dispatched, and paper money drifted away with the wind.
Just after his wife passed the first seventh year, Guo Shanren couldn't wait to rush back to the city. In the past six months, Guo Shanren had lost a lot of money. The more he gambled, the more he lost, the more he gambled. Guo Shanren was trapped in the quagmire of gambling. The old man Guo Ziyi was still in the dark. Sometimes Guo Ziyi went to the county town to deliver medicinal materials. He heard Mr. Wang say that Guo Shanren didn't spend much money in recent times. Guo Ziyi felt relieved and thought that his son was middle-aged after all, and the ridiculous years had passed and he should be calm. Little did he know that Guo Shanren had made the hole bigger and bigger, and the century-old store of the Guo family was shaking.
That day, Guo Shanren was playing cards at Li Mingqiu's house. Suddenly, the waiter came in panic. When the waiter saw Guo Shanren, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, it's not good. The wife of the four-nighted man came to the pharmacy shop to make trouble, crying and telling the shopkeeper that the shopkeeper killed her daughter and wanted to find justice to the shopkeeper Guo. There were a lot of people watching the fun in front of the pharmacy shop. Mr. Wang asked me to come and find you. What should you do about this?"
Guo Shanren is usually a slut, but whenever he encounters something, he feels panicked. He looks at Li Mingqiu with a gray face and asks for help. Li Mingqiu understands in his heart that this matter is a good opportunity for him. As long as he settles Silangzi, Guo Shanren's medicine shop is one step closer to him. Li Mingqiu will run errands with Silangzi before he debuts. Silangzi is both Li Mingqiu's master and his senior. As long as Li Mingqiu comes forward in person, there is no reason to be unstable. But at this moment, Li Mingqiu looks embarrassed, which makes Guo Shanren even more unsure. Iron Abacus is watching, understanding the psychology of his nephew Li Mingqiu. Seeing Guo Shanren's burning hair, he feels compassionate. He advises his nephew: "Mingqiu, I know that Silangzi listens to you, so you can help Manager Guo once."
Li Mingqiu pondered, as if his uncle and nephew were talking, they were actually saying to Guo Shanren: "It's not that I refuse to help. To calm this matter, money must be paved. If the four-way lion opened their mouths and made some extra requests, how should I deal with it?"
Iron Abacus usually does some small moves on the scale, lacking weight, making some money, and really letting him get into trouble, but he can't bear to do it. But he knew that Li Mingqiu was vicious in doing things, and he wouldn't stop if he didn't get Guo Shanren down in this matter, and Guo Shanren still has a reputation in Fengqi Street, otherwise he wouldn't be called "Guo Shanren". But Iron Abacus couldn't help Guo Shanren this time, because he knew that after Li Mingqiu brought the medicine shop, he would still give him the Iron Abacus to the police.
Reason, I have never been a big shopkeeper in my life. He wanted to taste the feeling of lying in a lounge chair, pressing his thighs on his legs, holding a hookah, and being leisurely. Thinking of this, the iron abacus weighed the pros and cons, gave his nephew a wink, and then said, "Nephemer, if it were someone else's affairs, my uncle would never interrupt, but this shopkeeper Guo's father Guo Ziyi has been in love with me for decades. I won't ignore this matter. If you don't go, I will go, and I won't believe that the four fools have human-eating nails."
Li Mingqiu was very good at meeting Feng, looked at Guo Shanren and said, "Since my uncle pleads with me, I must not stop doing this. But Manager Guo, you have to express your opinion. If the four fools make any requests, should I agree or refuse?"
Guo Shanren is not a fool. He can't see that the uncle and nephew are playing a double act, but he has fallen into the trap set by the uncle and nephew and cannot extricate himself. He can only stretch his neck out and let others slaughter. Anyway, this matter must be calmed down, otherwise Guo Shanren would not be able to survive in Fengqi Town. Guo Shanren lowered his head and thought for a long time. The waiter was no longer anxious and muttered: "If Manager Guo can't control this matter, should we invite the old manager back?"
Li Mingqiu knew that if Guo Ziyi intervened in this matter, there would be a lot of trouble. Guo Ziyi was meticulous in his work and was not as easy as Guo Shanren. Thinking of this, Li Mingqiu immediately expressed his opinion: "A big deal is a big deal, and the old shopkeeper is a big deal. For our daily friendship, I will run for you. But we have to say first, and we will not follow the orders of the outside king. I will be the one who wants to take care of you for some things."
At this point, Guo Shanren had to express his opinion: "My brother Mingqiu is not unreasonable. If you act according to the opportunity, as long as the requests made by others are not excessive, you should take responsibility for your brother first."
As soon as Li Mingqiu and the waiter left, Xiao Cui sat in Guo Shanren's arms. Tie Abacus wanted to say something to Guo Shanren. When he saw the situation, he quickly stepped aside and took off the house with small untied hands. Xiao Cui hooked Guo Shanren's neck with his hands, and the cherry mouth was buzzing. The purpose was obvious. He wanted to ask Guo Shanren to kiss her. Guo Shanren was upset and wanted to push Xiao Cui away. Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui was like a vine, tightly entangled Guo Shanren and did not let go. He put his mouth on Guo Shanren's ear and whispered: "Shopkeeper Guo, I heard that the wall of your house was made of silver ingots, so you still have to frown for a little bit of something? Two mules were dug on the old wall and could not be carried out. After leaving, the red ones were also green ones. Marry me as your wife, and I will sew clothes, cook for you and raise children."
Although Guo Shanren lived with Xiao Cui, he dared not. That woman was too lustful, poisonous and cruel, purely an oil press. She wanted to squeeze the oil on you when she was with a man, unlike Peony Red and there was a little bit of a woman's emotions. Guo Shanren vaguely felt that Xiao Cui might have been instructed by Li Mingqiu and was a little bad from the background, but he could not get rid of this woman at present because he had already owed a lot of gambling debts. He felt that these people had begun to close the net, and he was waiting to be slaughtered like a goat carrying a meat case. But Guo Shanren was still unwilling to accept that he kicked his four hooves and struggled before his death. He suddenly felt a little disgusted from Xiao Cui from his heart, and tore Xiao Cui open. Thinking of walking in the yard, Li Mingqiu came back, and his four-boy father-in-law was following him.
Guo Shanren had no good feelings for this father-in-law, and even when his wife was alive, the two sides did not interact much. However, Guo Shanren had an innate fear of Silangzi, which was rooted in the bones. When he saw Silangzi's bones softened first, and his whole body was like a boneless beast.
When the four lambsmen saw this former son-in-law, they stepped forward and slapped Guo Shanren twice, and then cursed: "Guo Shuang has you a bad guy, and his wife's body is not cold. You are just walking around the kiln here to prostitute a bitch. The old man is not alive today. Use this old sheepskin to exchange for your little lambskin."
Tie Ababa came in in a panic and pretended to block it: "Brother Silangzi, please calm down first. Let's have a second voice in Fengqi Town. The family and popularity are at the forefront. You don't have to worry about that kind of playboy." In turn, he shouted at Guo Shanren: "It depends on how angry your uncle is, and you won't kneel down yet!"
Manxiang never cares about this occasion. Hearing the noise in the upper room through the window, he put on his shoes, tidy up his clothes, and came in slowly. He saw Silangzi at first sight and called out, "Uncle, sit down first." Then he said to the butler standing aside, "Make a pot of tea for uncle. Then he looked at Guo Shanren kneeling on the ground and said to Silangzi, "It's time to teach his son-in-law a lesson." Everyone in the room was shocked by Manxiang's courage, and even Li Mingqiu was a little puzzled, not knowing what Manxiang wanted to say next.
The four lame men also had a distant uncle who belonged to Manxiang in terms of seniority. Manxiang pulled a chair, sat down by himself, and talked: "My sister left, I feel sad, but have we ever thought that my nephew Guo Quanfa is already married and married a daughter named Nian Tianxi, the Duzi Tavern. Our Fengqi City is just a big slap in the palm of the hand, almost every family is connected to each other. If you make such a fuss, will you break the road in Guoyu Village? Do you ask Quanfa to enter the door of our Qu family again? Do you recognize Quanfa again? Do you recognize Quanfa's grandson in the future?"
The four fools made his niece Manxiang stunned, his face swelling into a pig's liver. He kicked Guo Shanren hard and cursed, "You are ashamed of your ancestors." He slammed the door and came out, and the storm subsided. Only Li Mingqiu felt regretful. He originally wanted to use this matter to knock Guo Shanren hard and let his wife Manxiang get into this strife, which made his conspiracy not succeed, but Li Mingqiu would not give up.
