Chapter 68 (1/2)
When Xia Ying had enough to eat, Mrs. Chen had already come.
She had a round face and a friendly look. Now, it's easier to smile.
Entering the guest room, she said with a smile: ”I don't know if you are used to living here, madam Gu? If there is any shortage, just tell the girl that they will buy it. ”
”Just a temporary stay. That's enough.” Xia Ying of course did not take her polite remarks seriously, she declined politely.
Mrs. Chen sat down and began to work with Xia Ying.
Mrs. Chen is an expert at gossiping. Before a few words have been said, the topic has shifted to Gu Tuo's craftsmanship.
”Just when I came over, the master couldn't help but look at it again and found that master Gu had already sawed that piece of fir, leaving only a piece the size of a palm in the middle. Then with a plane in one hand and sandpaper in the other hand, I'm repairing the mold quickly! Look at his technique, you can know that the things made from his hands must be good! It's just that the more so, the more we don't understand, how can master Gu's excellent craftsmanship never become famous in the countryside until now? ”
Xia Ying had expected that there would be this one, she would be frank to the bottom of Gu Tuo to account.
Mrs. Chen exclaimed. ”It's the one who cares for his family! I got it! At the beginning, Gu Ji's reputation was well-known throughout the whole province of the Yangtze River. For those who have a little face, who didn't buy the main beam of the house from Guji? You have to buy some furniture to attend to the wedding ceremony before you have the face to go out and meet people! Gu Ji's semicolons are all over our riverside province. When it comes to buying wood and furniture, we are the first to think of this one! ”
”Well, if it wasn't for the fact that Gu Ji's young master's family was not a real thing, and he even robbed the girl with the magistrate's son and even killed people, your family would not have been defeated overnight!”
Speaking of Guji's dumping speed, Mrs. Chen is also full of disbelief.
The news came out the day before that Gu Ji's young boss had killed the magistrate. The next day, Gu Ji was robbed. All Gu people were sent to prison, and then many old things were found out Since we can drive all the way from a timber shop in a small town to the provincial capital, and then open so many semicolons everywhere, the owner of the family is willing to do some shady things. In the past, no one dares to provoke Gu Ji's family, but now that he is down, of course, the wall is down and everyone pushes.
In the end, the magistrate listed Gu Ji's ten major crimes, which almost implicated all the family members. In the end, the men of the family died, the soldiers were exiled, and most of the women's dependents were hanged and killed themselves in the event of an accident, and their final fate was doomed to be miserable.
Now, it's been a year and a half!
They all thought Gu Ji was gone. As a result, it turns out that there is still a man who has retired and returned to the village to start his business again?
Xia Ying nods. ”Yes! He was supposed to be punished, but he was a loner since he was a child. He knew to deal with wood and tools all the time. He counted ten fingers when he said it all the time. In this way, it is difficult for others to give him a crime! So in the end, he was the least guilty of a large family. When someone who had ever received Gu Ji's kindness discovered that day, he spent a lot of money to protect his family, which left Gu Ji with a blood line. ”
”It's a pity that his daughter-in-law committed suicide at the time of the accident. By the time he was rescued from prison, the family business behind him had been completely defeated. He can only take a sum of money given to him by his rescuers and come back to live in the village with three children. ”
Of course, Gu Tuo didn't tell her these things. The guy kept a secret about Gu Ji's affairs and refused to tell her a word. But who is Xia Ying? She had been in touch with the women in gujia village for a long time, so in only half a month, she had already grasped Gu Tuo's background clearly.
So now, she tells Mrs. Chen the same thing.
Mrs. Chen was filled with emotion. ”So it is. That's really hard for you. ”
”It's them who suffer. I'm ok. Besides, if the mothers of these children did not commit suicide, I would not have had a good life today Xia Ying is very honest.
Mrs. Chen immediately cried or laughed. She was very uncomfortable.
At this time, Gu Yuanlong came.
”My brother is sleepy.” He said, pointing to Gu Yuanhao, who was already dozing off.
