Mountain People

Gu Mingde didn't want to bother about Zhao Nizi, Gu Laifu and others being tortured, so he told Gu Shuixiu what happened in the village, "After Gu Laifu and Zhao Nizi were taken away, your mother went to Gu Laifu's house to make a big fuss. , that unending appearance frightened some villagers, the village chief held a clan meeting, and we did not receive any news at that time.

I learned later that in order to mend the relationship between our family and Gu Laifu's family, the village chief asked Gu Laifu to compensate our family with two mu of paddy fields and two mu of fertile land, and hoped that our family would not cause trouble in the village.

We were angry at that time, but we couldn't refute the village chief's face, so we said that you are the masters of suffering, we can't make the decision, we will talk about everything when you come back.

Although the village chief is displeased, he knows it is a fact, and we made it clear that we don’t want to let it go. The village chief can’t. It's here, we don't have any opinion on what you do first.

You don't have to think about the fields. It's not that our family can't afford them. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't grow them, our family could buy more fields now. "

"That's right, do you really think that those things will let me let go of that disgusting family? Dreaming!" Zhao was so angry that he didn't know how to vent, and he was reluctant to break things in the house , then stood up and stomped his feet fiercely, saying that he was going to cook for them, and left the main room without looking back.

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu smiled bitterly, Zhao's temper didn't know how she came from, I heard that her grandfather and grandmother were both gentle and soft-natured people, and I didn't find Zhao's like this before. What a temper, why is this temper better now as life gets better.

Gu Mingde has long been accustomed to it, and he is extremely calm about Zhao's appearance from time to time. When Zhao is out, he can also talk to Gu Shuixiu.

"Shui Xiu, from the point of view of father, you can not agree to the request of the village chief, but you can't be too tough, there is room for negotiation if you want to make a pair, after all, our family The roots of the village are still here, and it’s not very peaceful outside. My parents don’t want to move when they’re old. It’s not good for us if we get into trouble with the village chief and clan. I can't let myself suffer, so I'll just say it here, you child has always had success, so I won't talk anymore."

As soon as Gu Mingde finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and the voice of the village chief from outside the yard. He looked at Gu Shuixiu and said, "Look, what are you talking about, think about it carefully, I Go open the door."

Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other for a moment, both of them tacitly understood that they would not be **** the slippery old man like the village chief, but it is unrealistic for them to accept it obediently , let's see tricks and tricks.

After a while, the village chief's laughing voice came from the yard, either complimenting Erniu as a young and promising talent, or complimenting Dong Yuanxu's intelligence and good looks.

Gu Shuixiu and his wife also stood up when they saw the village head entering the house, smiled and nodded in greeting, but the smile was not deep enough to see him, and at first glance, he was not really welcome, but it was not wrong. come.

The village head has been the head of the village for most of his life, so how can he not see Gu Shuixiu's careful thoughts, but he is here to be a lobbyist, so naturally he won't bother with Gu Shuixiu. The couple agreed to reconcile, and it was worth it for him to suffer a little more scorn.

After the village chief sat down, Gu Mingde wanted to pour tea for him. The village chief waved his hands again and again and kept his eyes on Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu. Seeing Gu Mingde also sat down, he smiled and said: "Ming Nephew De, your three children are really better than each other, and they look different from those young girls in the village."

Gu Mingde laughed when he heard it, and said modestly: "How can there be... not all of them are born and raised in our village." Although he said this, but the proud face on his face The color can't be hidden.

The village chief did not argue, and said to Gu Shuixiu: "Xiu girl, the reason why grandpa came to the door today must have been told to you by your father?"

Gu Shuixiu nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, neither happy nor angry.

Her attitude made the village chief do not know how to take it. If Gu Shuixiu was angry or resentful, he could persuade him a few words. Her unsalty indifference really made the village chief No way to start.

But who is the village chief? As the saying goes, people are old and talented, how can they not be able to step down so easily, paused, and then said: "Grandpa knows what Gu Laifu and Gu Zhenzhu did, and with the county magistrate here, they also got the punishment they deserved, grandpa. It's not good to punish them again.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Dad Gu and the others, but you can't let you suffer from this dumb loss, so Grandpa will make them pay for your family's four acres of farmland, of course, I also know that you don't take this field seriously, but you must know that our Caozi Village is not rich, and many families have less than four acres of land.

Gu Laifu's family has more. For my share, I have almost half of their family's fields, all of which belong to the same village. The face was beaten and killed, and the grandfather was a person who stepped into the coffin half-legged, but he couldn't stand such a toss anymore. "

The village chief sang a bitter drama, but he didn't lie about one point. The village chief's daughter-in-law was still angry for a long time.

Gu Mingde winked at Gu Shuixiu, meaning that what the village chief said was the truth and asked them to take care of it.

Gu Shuixiu's expression finally loosened, and she said respectfully, "It's hard work, Grandpa, the village chief, this matter has nothing to do with you, but you have to run so hard so many times. Xiu is really sorry."

The village head waved his hand, indicating that this is not a big deal, but said seriously: "Xiu girl, we are all our own people, I will not come with you for these false things, the Gu Laifu family relies on it. The second is Gu Zhenzhu's help. If you don't count on Gu Qian and the things that can't support the wall, the family has long since broken up. Now the two people who can be in charge of their family are gone, and only the Huang family is left. , and Gu Qian, who is not stingy, the remaining father is now half paralyzed and can't even walk.

I guess it won't last for two years. In the current situation of their family, I will give them another four acres of land to your family. I'm afraid they will have a hard time in the future. The punishment is extremely severe. Although you have suffered this time, it is fortunate that you have a great life and a good luck. As the saying goes, if you have spared others, you will receive these four acres of land, don't care about them. .

They don't dare to talk nonsense, they all belong to the same village, you see..."
