In order to test the hardness of the brick, Dong Chenghu even smashed it with big stones. As a result, the bricks only damaged some edges and corners, so the quality should not be too good.

Now Dong Chenghu was completely relieved. He was not in a hurry to build a house. He just took advantage of the good weather to burn bricks, even neglecting his job.

If Gu Shuixiu hadn't had some small prey if he had been trapped every day, he would have had a disagreement.

On this day, Dong Chenghu went out early in the morning to check the trap as usual, but he went there for most of the day and didn't come back.

Gu Shuixiu became more and more worried. It was not until after noon that she saw Dong Chenghu running back panting, but the expression on her face was not very good.

When Gu Shuixiu saw it, her heart was shocked and she always felt something big had happened.

Dong Chenghu entered the house and immediately went to pack up his things. While packing up, he said to Gu Shuixiu: "Shuixiu, hurry up and clean up. We have to go back and see your parents. I went to see the hunting today, and took the opportunity to see the bamboo raft before. I happened to meet Uncle Qin crossing the river.

He said that when he was hunting the day before yesterday, he walked to Caozi Village and heard from the villagers that your father seemed to faint. The doctor in the village said that there was no way, and there was no money at home to go to see a doctor. I don’t know what happened?

Uncle Qin was going to come and tell us, but because there was no bamboo raft, I couldn't cross the river. I was in a hurry and rushed out to get a bamboo raft today. We had to go back quickly."

Gu Shuixiu was shocked and didn't care about anything else. She brought the silver coins at home, and then filled ten kilograms of broken rice, and then brought a batch of coarse cloth, a piece of cotton, a piece of linen, and the two pheasants brought back by Dong Chenghu were also loaded by Gu Shuixiu.

Everything was placed in the basket, with some hay on it, and there was no sign of anything inside outside.

The two crossed mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at Caozi Village before dark.

The villagers in this village have already gone home, and there are no people in the fields, and some are busy packing up their tools and going home, so Gu Shuixiu and his wife did not meet anyone.

Pushing open the broken fence at home, Gu Shuixiu shouted anxiously: "Dad, Daniu Erniu, I'm back."

After a while, everyone in the room rushed out.

Zhao pulled Gu Shuixiu and looked up and down. She saw that her face was a lot of flesh, her skin was not as sallow as before, she was wearing new clothes, and her hair was neatly combed. Although she had no headdresses, she looked particularly elegant with a bamboo hairpin.

Zhao finally had a smile on his sad face, and his eyes looked at Dong Chenghu much softer.

"You are here, hurry up and go into the house. There shouldn't be anything to eat at this order. I'll get some food for you." Zhao staggered towards the kitchen, his mouth became more and more bitter. His daughter and son-in-law returned home for the first time, but there was not even a decent meal at home. The more Zhao thought about it, he felt sad, and secretly wiped his tears in the kitchen with everyone on his back.

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu went in first to see Gu Mingde.

"Big Niu, how is my dad's body? Why did I hear that my dad fainted?" Gu Shuixiu's face was full of worries.

Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu looked at each other. Gu Daniu unconsciously crushed the soil on the ground with his feet, lowered his head and said, "Dad is nothing, it's just an old problem, just take a break."

Gu Shuixiu's face suddenly sank. She stared at Gu Daniu and said seriously: "You still want to lie to me? Don't you know that every time you lie, you will feel guilty and dare not look at me? Do you dare to look at my eyes and say it?"

Gu Daniu's head lowered even more, and he was silent for a while, and only a few tears fell from the ground.

Gu Shuixiu's eyes turned red and she asked with sobs: "Is it my father's body..."

At this time, Zhao came in from outside the door and said heavily: "Let me say it, the doctor in the village said that your father is in poor health. If you want to treat him, you have to go to the town or the county. But we can't even afford to pay for the medical treatment in the village. Now we still owe the doctor two taels of silver. Where can we have money to go to the town to see the doctor?

Your father's health has become worse and worse these two days. The doctor said that if you don't go to see a doctor, you probably won't last two months."

Zhao's eyes were filled with despair.

When Gu Shuixiu heard that there was hope for healing, she immediately stopped her tears and nodded at Dong Chenghu.

Dong Chenghu immediately said, "Mother-in-law, don't be discouraged. I just don't have money to treat the doctor. I'll pay it. Let's clean up and go to Panlong Town to see the doctor tomorrow."

As soon as these words were said, the brothers Zhao and Gu Daniu looked incredible. When did Dong Chenghu become so rich?

Gu Shuixiu was afraid that Zhao and the others would not believe it, so she quickly said, "Mom, we have money to treat my father, don't worry, whether it's too late, we will go out early tomorrow morning."

Zhao's heart moved, and now he realized that Dong Chenghu was also wearing a new dress. Without a beard, he looked much tougher. Their clothes were really not as good as theirs.

Thinking of this, Zhao's heavy mood seemed to be much more relaxed, and his dark eyes were shining again.

However, the money was paid by Dong Chenghu, and Zhao was a little hesitant. Although he was his son-in-law, would he be unhappy if he spent too much money? Zhao began to worry about Gu Shuixiu again.

Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu looked surprised. Gu Daniu immediately said loudly: "Mom, sister, brother-in-law, I will go to Mr. Gu's house to borrow a donkey cart now. We will go to the town early tomorrow morning."

Gu Shuixiu stopped Gu Daniu, who was about to rush out, and reminded him: "If the people from Mr. Gu's family ask us what we are going to do in the town, you can say you can do business, and don't say anything. These are twenty copper plates. Just ask Mr. Gu how much money you need to pack a donkey cart in a day, and give it as much as you want. Remember not to say anything else."

Gu Daniu didn't understand the reason, but now it was Gu Shuixue who paid for Gu Mingde to treat him. If he had money, he would be the boss. Gu Daniu would not disobey Gu Shuixue's intentions.

Zhao looked puzzled, "Why don't you let your brother tell the truth?"

Gu Shuixiu glanced at Dong Chenghu, sat on the chair and said, "Mom, do you know why Dad Gu and Uncle Lai Fu were the matchmakers for me?"

Zhao shook his head.

Gu Shuixiu talked about the engagement between the Dong family and Mr. Gu, and finally said angrily: "Dad Gu's family despised the poor and loved the rich, and looked down on us as the boss. This made me get a bargain. But we must also be careful of such people. We have been plotted by them once, and we cannot be plotted for the second time."

Zhao's face looked very ugly after hearing this, "No wonder Gu Zhenzhu got married immediately after you got married, and she married to the house of the boss who runs a grocery store in the town. At that time, the village had been talking about it for several days, saying that Gu Zhenzhu was a precious life and could marry a good family even if she was born in our remote village."
