Chapter 28 Gu Shuixiu confesses, Gu Daniel's thoughts
The two went out from the mayor and went to buy some food before returning to the clinic.
Although Gu Mingde promised Gu Shuixiu to stay and see a doctor, he was not at ease. Twenty-seven taels were like astronomical figures for a poor family like them. To put it bluntly, even if he was sold, it would not be worth the price. Gu Mingde was worried and thought about everything, and became more and more uneasy.
Gu Daniu was just happy because Gu Mingde had money to treat his illness. After all, the money was paid by Dong Chenghu. Although Dong Chenghu was their son-in-law, his brothers had to settle the score clearly, let alone brother-in-law. He couldn't make any money now. If he had to pay back, what time would he pay it back?
Gu Daniu thought deeper and deeper. He looked at Gu Mingde lying on the bed. He had some thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't say it now.
The father and son were silent.
Gu Shuixiu and his wife saw this scene when they entered the room. They didn't think deeply. Gu Shuixiu put the food on the table, invited Gu Daniu to come and eat it, and then went to the bed to feed Gu Mingde.
Gu Mingde felt that he had meat and white porridge, and felt so distressed that he felt so painful, but it was not easy for Gu Shuixiu in front of Dong Chenghu, so he had to sigh and teach him, "Daya, it's not easy for you to make money. This time I have spent too much money on medical treatment. We are all rough people, so we don't have to eat so well. Now we can save some, and we can move out of the mountains and buy land and build houses in the future. It's safer than you living in the deep mountains!"
Gu Shuixiu paused, turned her head to look at Dong Chenghu and Gu Daniu. Seeing that there was a deep guilt in Gu Daniu's eyes, she understood Gu Mingde's meaning, not only smiled, "Dad, what do you think! If we want to move out of the mountains, we can do it now! But we don't want to."
Now Gu Mingde and Gu Daniu didn't understand anymore. Gu Daniu couldn't help but said: "Sister, if you can move out, move to Caozi Village. We are neighbors and can take care of each other. My brother-in-law can also go hunting. Caozi Village is safer, why don't you?"
"Don't worry, listen to me." Gu Shuixiu felt helpless and explained: "The most terrifying thing in this world is not the beast, but the hearts of the people. I don't hide it from you. Now the situation is turbulent, and there are robbers everywhere. Maybe it's already chaos outside now. We have the continuous mountains of Qingping Mountain as shields, which may not affect us.
We live in the deep mountains and don’t have to worry about these things. It is Cheng Hu’s home. He has lived there since he was a child and has long been familiar with every grass and tree inside, so we don’t want to leave.
Since all I have said this, I will tell you something to avoid burdening you, but I hope you don’t tell outsiders.
Before Cheng Hu hunted some valuable prey, we made some money by selling things. Today we go to the mayor to inquire about the price. If we can buy the mountain we live in and circle the whole mountain, so that we don’t have to worry about the problems of wild animals.”
"Buy the mountain!" Gu Mingde and Gu Daniu stared at Gu Shuixiu and his wife incredibly. Their knowledge was limited. The one who had bought the most land was the village chief of Caozi Village. There were ten acres of land at home, which was the first place in the village. Gu Shuixiu said he wanted to buy the mountain. How big was that?
Gu Daniu seemed to not know Gu Shuixiu and his wife, and asked tremblingly: "Brother-in-law, what will happen after you inquire?"
Dong Chenghu said calmly: "The mountain we live in and the two valleys next to us are 500 acres of land. One acre is 500 ci, and the total is 250 taels. We have discussed it and bought the two valleys together. Not only can we reclaim land, but the cliffs on both sides of the valley can also form a peaceful barrier. In this way, we can save some effort in surrounding the mountains. At that time, just block the exit of the valley."
Gu Daniu was completely stunned. What does 250 taels mean? He can't calculate it!
Gu Mingde's mind was blank. When did his daughter and son-in-law become so rich? Gu Mingde couldn't figure it out. When he recalled the scene when he saw Dong Chenghu for the first time, he was like a beggar. He was completely different from now on. Gu Mingde's mind was full of mess, but it didn't prevent him from being happy. If his daughter and son-in-law could buy mountain land, he would be very capable. Even Panlong Town probably wouldn't be able to find a second person.
Because of Gu Shuixiu's words, Gu Mingde was completely relieved. He happily accepted the filial piety of his daughter and son-in-law. The big stone in Gu Daniu's heart also loosened a lot. While everyone was there, he carefully expressed his thoughts.
"Sister, I want to go out and make a fuss."
Gu Daniu's voice was very small, but everyone heard it. Before Gu Shuixiao could speak, Gu Mingde was the first to object, suddenly sat up and said excitedly: "What nonsense! Didn't you just hear your elder sister say that it was very messy outside? What are you doing with a young man? "
Gu Shuixiu frowned and said, "Why do you want to go out?"
Seeing that Gu Shuixiu was more rational, Gu Daniu said directly to Gu Shuixiu: "Caozi Village is too poor. Every family can make a living by working hard for a year, and they can't see any extra money. If my father had money to go to the town for medical treatment, it wouldn't have been so serious now. So I want to go out and make more money."
When Gu Mingde heard this, he retorted as if he was pinched to his throat and could not say it, but he was extremely reluctant to go out and take risks, and his heart was as if he was suffering on a hot pot.
After Gu Shuixiu comforted Gu Mingde, he continued to ask Gu Daniu, "You have to know that this is the world where the fittest survives. What are your abilities to establish a foothold? High martial arts skills? Or have a skill? If you have nothing but enthusiasm, then I advise you to stay in Caozi Village well."
Gu Daniu was a little depressed when he heard this, Gu Shuixiu felt uncomfortable, but Gu Mingde breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Chenghu actually supports Gu Daniu to go out and see the world. He has little knowledge, so his vision is relatively narrow. Since he went to Linhai County, he seems to be reborn. Men have to experience more to have a future and can protect a family. This is what Dong Chenghu really thinks.
Because of Gu Daniu's words, everyone was in a bad mood. Dong Chenghu took advantage of Gu Daniu's absence to go out to the toilet and said to Gu Shuixue and Gu Mingde: "Father-in-law, Shuixiu, I know you are worried that Daniu will encounter danger when he goes out, but if Daniu can go out for a walk and meet the world, it is beneficial or harmless to face him. What I mean is that can we think of a comprehensive way to let him go out and protect him from safety?"
"This..." Gu Mingde now vaguely regarded Dong Chenghu as his backbone. After all, he had been spending money and efforts during this period. In Gu Mingde's heart, Dong Chenghu was the most powerful person he had ever seen. Since Dong Chenghu had spoken, he had to think about this matter carefully.
