With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 37 037. Recruiting Di to marry

She drove a carriage to the town and went straight to Shiweixuan, hoping to ask Xiao Mu for help.

Apart from anything else, the Xiao family still has some influence in this town.

It’s not just something that Shiwei Xuan and Tian Tian Zhai occupy the central area!

If she, a peasant woman, went to find a store, she might not get any good land.

This is the importance of power.

Even the declining royal family is more respected than the common people, not to mention that the Xiao family has already become famous through the popularity of Shiweixuan and Tiantianzhai during this period, and is no longer the declining family that was looked down upon before!

Gu Xiaoxiao entered the Shiwei Xuan, and happened to meet Xiao Mu who was about to go out, and they met each other directly.

"Eh? Madam Gu, why are you free to come here today?"

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time and said directly: "I'm here to ask you for help!"

Xiao Mu also didn't expect that one day Mrs. Gu would ask him for help.

Immediately, he straightened his back and said solemnly: "Madam Gu, don't worry, if anything happens, Xiao will do his best to help you!"

Gu Xiaoxiao was immediately amused when she saw the look on his face that was about to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire.

She smiled and said: "You don't have to be so desperate, this matter is easy for you!" She paused and continued: "I want you to help me find a better store. Money is not a problem.

As long as the price is worth it!”

Xiao Mu heard this and said easily: "You have found the right person to talk to me about this matter! I can't talk to you in the city, but there is still no big problem here!"

After agreeing, he thought again and asked, "What do you want the store to do? Do you want to open your own store?"

"Well, I want to open a pharmacy." Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"This is a good thing! I knew you must be capable when I first saw you give Zhaodi those two bottles of medicine! If I have any physical problems in the future, let's see if I can keep my friendship with you without asking for money.

?" Xiao Mu joked.

Gu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, "How can the dignified Xiao Dong family still be so short of money? For the sake of helping me find a store, I can give you a 90% discount, how about it?"

Xiao Mu had an expression on his face that said, "You're so picky."

Gu Xiaoxiao said softly: "I hope you will never use my discount!"

He didn't react for a moment, but then he smiled after thinking about it carefully.

He also hopes that everything will go well for him and that there will be no disasters!

He looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with light in his eyes.

After that, the matter was left to Xiao Mu. Gu Xiaoxiao went shopping casually, bought some things he needed at home, and then planned to go home.

When he passed the Sweet Food Restaurant, he heard some noise inside, and Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

A few passers-by also heard the sound and stopped to look inside.

Gu Xiaoxiao was even more unhappy, who was causing trouble here?!

Then his face sank and he walked in.

I saw two middle-aged couples inside, one on the left and the other on the right, pulling Zhao Di, trying to drag her out. She shouted, but everyone else in the store hesitated and did not dare to stop her. Only Pan'er stepped forward and dragged Zhao Di.

Stop the couple from taking her away.

Next to the couple was a man who looked a little younger than Zhaodi. He had nothing to do with himself and frowned slightly in annoyance.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at it, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

"What are you doing here!" Gu Xiaoxiao shouted, and the sudden sound caused everyone to stop and turn their heads to look over.

The moment the man next to him saw Gu Xiaoxiao, his expression finally changed, taking on a hint of malicious intent.

This girl looks so good to him!

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced coldly at the clerks who were watching the excitement in the store, and said in a sullen voice, "Isn't it fun to watch?! You don't have to work anymore, right! Are you going to let people cause trouble in the store like this?!"

The surrounding clerks all lowered their heads cowardly, and Xiao Tao and Da Qiang did not stop them. Seeing the lady scolding her, Xiao Tao felt aggrieved, and without thinking too much, she said: "But madam, these three people are Zhao Di."

My parents and brother, my parents want to take away their children, how can we stop them!"

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't expect these people to have such identities, but blood and family ties are not the reason to do whatever they want!

"What is your current status? You are a clerk at Tiantianzhai! The employer did not hire you to watch the excitement coldly!" He glanced at everyone and said, "It is each of you's responsibility to keep the store operating normally.

Responsibility! But what about now? Will any customers come in if there is such a fuss?!"

Xiaotao stopped talking and lowered her head, but she still felt that she was right.

Her family is harmonious. Although she is a woman, her parents are very good to her, so she cannot understand Zhaodi's situation, and she cannot understand why Mrs. Gu blames them for not stopping her!

But Pan'er knows that a bad family, even the parents who gave birth to her and raised her, can do anything!

So when she saw Zhao Di's reluctance, she tried her best to stop him.

Because she comes from this kind of family, she knows the pain of Zhao Di.

But at this time, when Zhao Di heard Mrs. Gu's words, she felt guilty again. It was all because of her that she had hindered the store's profits!

But her parents were a little angry when they heard that this lady who suddenly appeared had someone to stop them, but looking at her, she seemed to be in charge, and they couldn't afford to offend her!

Zhao Di's brother also felt the woman's domineering attitude and did not dare to think lustfully, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

The second elder tried hard to restrain his dissatisfaction, and her father said calmly: "Madam, this is our family matter, you don't seem to have anything to do with it!"

"Since it's a family matter, you still make a lot of noise in public places. Will you compensate us for the losses?" Gu Xiaoxiao responded unceremoniously. What else could he do to name his child "Zhao Di"?

Good parents, at this moment, it was not much different from what she thought.

In her life, she looked down on those parents who treated their children badly. If they had the ability, they should not give birth to them. Once they were born and raised, they had to take responsibility!

When they heard that they were going to pay compensation, the two people immediately became angry. Then they glanced at Zhao Di, and Zhao Di's mother said again: "You can't rely on us for this. We are here to find Zhao Di. If you insist,

If you blame us, then fire Zhaodi, and we will never come to the store to disturb you again!"

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at them, thoughtfully.

When Zhaodi heard this, she immediately became unhappy, "Mom! I won't leave! Didn't you ask me to come out to find a job? Why do you want to quit for me now that I have a stable job?!" she asked incredulously.

"Oh, what's the point of working here for just a few bucks? Anyway, today, either you give us money, or if you can't pay it out, you will leave with us!" Zhao Di Niang grabbed her arm and pinched her hard.

.

Zhaodi had long been used to her parents' attitude, but she really didn't want to leave, so she begged: "Dad! Mom! I won't leave! Please don't let me go! Why do you have to take me back?"

"

Her parents took action directly and began to pull her out again, while muttering: "You bitch, you've only been out for a few days and you're so disobedient! Let's see how we deal with you when we get back!"

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, very dissatisfied with their words.

At this time, Pan'er grabbed Zhao Di's waist to stop her, and while holding her, she shouted to Gu Xiaoxiao: "Ms. Gu, please help! If Zhao Di goes back with them like this, she will lose half her life.

ah!"

"Hey, what are you talking about as a woman! We are her parents, how can we harm her?" Zhao Di's father said.

After this disturbance, the strength of the two men dragging Zhao Di became weaker.

Pan'er simply knelt down and said anxiously to Gu Xiaoxiao: "Madam! They have been here several times in the past few days, and every time they came they asked for money from Zhaodi. Today Zhaodi really has no money to give.

They started making trouble! Madam, you are so powerful that you must make the decision for Zhao Di!"

Seeing this, Zhaodi also knelt down, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, madam, it's me who has caused trouble to everyone!"

"Why don't you hurry up and leave with us if you know you'll be in trouble! When you get married, you won't have to work here anymore!" Zhao Di Niang said, grabbing her arm again.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Di's eyes widened in shock, "What?! Get married? Mom, why have you never mentioned this to me? I said why are you so eager to let me go back? It turns out that you sold me

!!!" At the end of her speech, tears burst into her eyes uncontrollably.

Gu Xiaoxiao was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the purpose was this!

At this time, so many people were watching, and the situation was revealed. Zhao Di's parents were a little embarrassed. Zhao Di's mother hesitated and said: "How to talk!...Don't say it in such an ugly way, what do you mean by selling you out?"

Yes! This... someone is willing to marry you, you should be happy! I originally wanted to wait until you go back to tell you about this, but anyway... we have already collected the bride price, this is a certainty, you can go back with us now

, I’ll be here in a week! Hurry up, there’s no need to discuss!” With that said, the two elders began to drag Zhaodi with all their strength, planning to leave.

Gu Xiaoxiao said leisurely: "Wait a minute!"

Zhao Di Niang was already very impatient, and regardless of her identity, she frowned and said in a very aggressive tone: "Why are you waiting so long? Who do you think you are? We have already said that this is our family matter, so-called parents' orders.

As a matchmaker, you can't stop my family from recruiting a wife to marry!"

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered and said: "I can't control this matter, but you can't force it directly. You have to tell me who Zhaodi will be matched with? What is his identity? You should ask for Zhaodi's consent anyway!"

"Just...it's Yin Laoer from the village next to us, Zhao Di also knows him!" Zhao Di's father replied evasively.

Zhao Di Niang slapped her father with her arm and blinked hard, not wanting him to say that.

But once the words were spoken, they could not be taken back, and everyone present could hear them clearly.

Zhao Di Niang also shouted, "My parents decide the marriage, why do I need to ask for her consent!"

Zhaodi's tears were still hanging on her face, but her expression was stunned. She couldn't believe what she heard. She looked up at her biological father and mother in confusion, her heart was as cold as an ice cave, and she said in a trembling voice

: "What? Yin Laoer? Is he the Yin Laoer I thought..." He suddenly collapsed, "I called him uncle! You don't know what kind of person he is, and he still wants to marry me

Give it to him! How much money did you charge him! I am your biological daughter!"

Zhaodi burst into tears, her heart ached so much. Originally, she had not cared about her parents' dislike of seeing her, but she didn't expect that there was something even more heartbreaking!

Yin Laoer was a wealthy man from the next village. She had met him several times and called him uncle.

That man was famous for his bad temper. His previous wives had been subjected to domestic violence to death. There were so many dirty things like this in the small village. No one reported it to the government, and the government didn't bother to take care of it.

The most important thing is that the second uncle is rich, and he has used money to deal with the troubles several times. Originally, the woman was not welcome in her parents' family. If she exchanged her life for a few taels of silver, her parents' family were also happy. What's more,

He will not seek justice for him!

But now, her parents knew that it was a den of tigers and wolves that devoured human lives, yet they still let her go. Is Adi the only one of their children? Do women have to be treated like this?!

She couldn't understand.

Gu Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly. Although she was very dissatisfied with what Zhao Di's parents did, there was nothing she could do about it. This is the system of this feudal society. When a woman gets married, no matter how dissatisfied she is, it all depends on her parents. Gu Xiaoxiao

As an outsider, I am indeed not qualified to take charge.

She thought for a while and said to Zhaodi's parents: "It's not an option for you to continue to be in a stalemate like this. Let's go back first and give Zhaodi some time to think about it. Suddenly she learned about this matter and she had to let someone do something about it.

Be mentally prepared, and don’t push too hard. If something happens, the gain will outweigh the loss, what do you think?"

"This..." Zhaodi's parents didn't want to leave just like that, but they were really afraid of pushing too hard. If something happened to Zhaodi, they couldn't explain it to Yin Laoer. After all, they had already collected the betrothal gift.

, they don’t want to go back either!

While hesitating, Gu Xiaoxiao took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeves and handed them to Zhao Di Niang.

Zhao Di saw her and called out softly: "Mrs. Gu!"

She doesn’t want her to give them money, it’s because they are greedy! It’s them who are sorry for themselves! This matter has nothing to do with her, she shouldn’t let her spend money!

But I have to say that she was very touched in her heart, and she never expected that Mrs. Gu would do such a thing for her. I am afraid that she will never be able to repay the debt even after all the hard work in her life!

When Zhaodi's father and mother saw that they had money to take, they no longer hesitated. Their mouths suddenly opened with joy, their smiling eyes narrowed into slits, and their faces, which were already full of wrinkles, became even deeper.

”.

"Okay! For the sake of this lady, we will give this little girl time to think about it. If we come back in three days, she will come with us no matter what!" Zhao Di Niang looked at her carefully.

Xiaoxiao picked up the broken silver he gave him, waved his hand to his husband, and said to his son: "Then let's go first!"

Zhao Di's father also saw the few taels of broken silver, his eyes were shining, and he left without saying anything.

Zhaodi's brother looked at Gu Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little unsatisfied, and left with his parents very reluctantly.

Three requests a day, please vote, please collect, please recommend!
