Chapter 48 Gu Zhuzhu's gossip, Gu family building a house
Seeing Zhao's mysterious and mysterious situation, Gu Shuixue thought she wanted to tell some big secret, but she heard her say, "You don't know about Gu Zhenzhu yet, right?"
When Zhao said this, he peeked at Dong Chenghu with a taboo look on his face.
"It's the woman who got engaged to Cheng Hu before."
Dong Chenghu then realized it and said with a frank look on his face: "Mother-in-law, just say anything, don't care about me. I have never seen the other party Zhang before. That person has nothing to do with me!"
Dong Chenghu's appearance of being cleared of relationship made Zhao extremely satisfied.
"It's a good thing not to get involved with such an ungrateful wolf!"
Gu Shuixiu looked puzzled, "What's wrong? Did she make trouble again?"
Otherwise, Gu Shuixiu knows Gu Zhenzhu, that is an extremely selfish person. It can be said that he cannot get up early without profit. Those who are useful to her will look like giving alms and are reluctant to be friends with others. Once he has used the person, he wishes he will not know the other person.
This is how Gu Shuixiu was so nasty when she was. Fortunately, Gu Shuixiu was lucky and met someone like Dong Chenghu who knew the cold and the hot.
"A while ago, you didn't pay and work for your father, you were both treating a doctor and finding a job for the county government for Daniu, and you also gave our family a lot of food. People in this village knew it as soon as they inquire. Now everyone is smoke from our ancestral graves, and they have such a good son-in-law.
The more Gu Laifu's family heard, the more uncomfortable he felt. The most important thing was that Gu Zhenzhu never returned to the village after she got married. Everyone was open and secretly Gu Zhenzhu left Gu Laifu's family and went to the town to enjoy her happiness.
As more people talked about this, Gu Laifu and Huang became more and more irresponsible about Gu Zhenzhu. As soon as the couple planned to join, they ran to the town to find Gu Zhenzhu, saying that they were looking for Gu Zhenzhu, but in fact they were going to Gu Zhenzhu's in-laws to have Qiufeng.
At the beginning, Gu Zhenzhu's in-laws was quite polite. As long as Gu Laifu went, he would always bring some things back. Gradually, there were fewer gossips in the village.
Gu Zhenzhu had just given birth a while ago, but unfortunately she was a daughter. Gu Zhenzhu's in-laws had some objections, but Gu Laifu became addicted to Qiufeng. He didn't realize this problem at all. He still came to the door at any time, and even became more and more serious.
Later, Gu Zhenzhu's in-laws no longer gave Gu Laifu things. Gu Laifu went several times and his face became more and more unsightly. In addition, Gu Zhenzhu's mother-in-law said to her face, "Your daughter is a hen that can't lay eggs." She felt even more and more frustrated.
I thought this would be enough to calm down, but who knew that Gu Laifu heard the news from somewhere that Gu Zhenzhu's husband had a Long Yang obsession and did not touch her at all. Gu Zhenzhu could get pregnant with this daughter or did he use any means.
Now that Gu Laifu finally found an excuse to go to the grocery store. He also asked Gu Zhenzhu's father-in-law for fifty taels of silver as compensation, or went to the county government to sue them for their marriage.
Gu Zhenzhu's father-in-law could afford to run a grocery store, so he was naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp. He said he wanted to leave Gu Zhenzhu on the spot, because he was unfilial and had no relatives to be the best, and he also took money from his wife's family.
Now Gu Laifu finally understood why he could get things from the grocery store every time he came before, and his love was here to dig a hole for him.
The two families started fighting on the spot. Of course, Gu Laifu could not beat the other family. He was beaten and injured and sent back to Caozi Village. At this time, Gu Zhenzhu asked someone to come back and say that she had known about her husband's problems for a long time. She was very satisfied with the marriage and told Gu Laifu not to make trouble again.
The visitor conveyed Gu Zhenzhu's words and left, not even a single copper plate was left, which completely disappointed Gu Laifu's family.
That day, Huang sat on the threshold and cried and robbed the world, scolding Gu Zhenzhu for not being a human being and raising a ungrateful wolf. It was so ugly that Uncle Gu also had a gloomy face. Later, he couldn't stand the villagers' fingers and cut off relations with Gu Zhenzhu in front of everyone.
You said this was a mess!"
"I deserve it! Dad Gu must be regretting it now! He ruined his promise for selfishness, but in the end he was defeated and even lost his reputation."
Gu Shuixiu felt very relieved. Since she had traveled through time, she believed in the sayings of ghosts and gods more and more. She always believed that people were doing things, and people who did things that were wrong would always be retribution.
Gu Mingde has always been a kind and pure person. After hearing Zhao's words, he sighed deeply, "I respected my uncle very much when I didn't have such a thing before. Now when I saw my uncle on the road, he would take a detour. I guess he didn't dare to see me. You said that people are old, what's the point of making trouble like this?"
"What's the purpose? Money!" Zhao didn't like Gu Mingde and pity the family, and he was angry.
Gu Shuixiu quickly said to Ximian, "By the way, parents, you can save money next year to see if you can push the house and renovate it after the autumn harvest. I have inquired about it in the town. It will cost only seven or eight taels of silver to build a two-in-one brick house. If it is not enough, we can lend it to you first. After the house is raised, Daniu and Erniu can also talk about marriage.
If our family is like this, it will definitely not be a good family. Da Niu is still young anyway, so it doesn’t matter if he waits for two more years.”
When it comes to building a house, Gu Mingde and Zhao both forgot what happened just now, and only the word "building a house" is left in their minds.
Zhao never dared to think about building a house, and it was a brick and tile house. When he heard that he wanted seven or eight taels of silver, he shrank and said with a embarrassed look: "Shuixiu, I know what you mean. I also understand that after building a house, I can't tell your brothers about it. But our family just had some extra money, so we can't spend it all!"
Gu Shuixiu held his forehead, this is really the idea of a peasant woman.
"Mom, if you want to think about it, it will cost two taels of silver to build an adobe house now. The adobe house will start to lose dirt in four or five years. It will be troublesome to repair it every year in the future. If it encounters strong winds, rains and snowstorms, the old adobe house will not be safe.
Although brick and tile houses are much more expensive, once built and lived in for decades, it will not be a problem. They are clean and tidy, which is a blessing for future generations.
The big bull has 500 silver coins a month, and he saves six taels of silver in a year. He always has 5 taels of silver sent back. It will take less than two years to build it. Just think we lend it to you first, and start building it after the autumn harvest of the New Year, and you can have a warm winter next year.
Let the big bull pay it back slowly.”
Zhao wanted to refuse, but she didn't have the right to speak for such a big thing, so she had to turn her attention to Gu Mingde.
Gu Mingde knew Gu Shuixiu's family background and knew that the seven or eight taels of silver were nothing to her, and building a house was a big deal. Gu Shuixiu was right. Building a solid brick and tile house is better than the adobe house that could not last for a few years. He immediately gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Okay! Just listen to the beautiful water, build brick and tile houses! After next spring plowing, I will build more baskets with Erniu to buy them, so I can save more money."
