Chapter 146
The Wang family’s matter did not affect the Gu family.
Everyone in the village knew that the Wang family’s mother and daughter had come to pour dung. Of course, there were also those who were not on good terms with the Gu family who said that the Wang family’s mother and daughter had done a good job and that the Gu family was just being nosy. However, most of them still felt that the Gu family had done the right thing and the Wang family had done wrong.
Wang tiezhu was flogged by the county Magistrate and sentenced to three years in prison.
No matter how the Wang family pleaded with the sun family, it was useless.
The Wang family now hated the sun family and the Gu family, but they were powerless.
Sun Yumei was no longer at old lady Xiao’s place. Her brother and sister-in-law had taken her back to her maternal home to recuperate.
At the end of the month, Cai Xiaolian and Mrs. Cheng’s Zui Jiang restaurant would be open for business after some decorations.
The potatoes planted in the field had also sprouted.
After researching for more than ten days, Gu Nian finally produced a box of toothpaste and more than 20 bars of soap.
Gu shouxin bought the land around the house and circled it all, ready to start work.
Just as the Gu family’s new house was about to start construction, the abandoned small courtyard not far from the entrance of the three Forks village had also been bought by someone and was already under repair.
On this day, Gu Xin and Gu si went to the old Carpenter’s yang family to look for fourth uncle Gu. Gu Xin’s sharp eyes noticed that there were a lot of people in the small courtyard that no one had been living in. She ran over to take a look out of curiosity.
“Eh? Brother Ji Xiang, why are you here? Why did you order people to touch our houses?” Gu Xin saw a familiar face. Wasn’t this the Zhou family who would come to her house every two days to check on the potatoes?
“It’s miss Xin! Nice to meet you, miss Xin. This house is now my young master’s. My young master bought this house from your village head and plans to live here permanently to look after the crops!” Ji Xiang said with a smile.
“Ah? Young master Zhou wanted to stay here! And look at the crops every day? The crops won’t run away!” Gu Xin said with a frown.
She felt that young master Zhou did not trust their family.
Not only did he send someone over to ask about it every two days, but he also bought a house to live in. Didn’t that mean that he didn’t trust their family?
His sister was right, young master Zhou was not a good person!
“Lady Xin is right. It’s just that these crops are very important to our young master, so I don’t feel at ease if I don’t look at them. Does Lady Xin want candy?” Ji Xiang clearly felt the little girl’s dissatisfaction and quickly took out the candy.
“I’m not eating! Big brother Ji Xiang, you’re busy! I’m leaving!” Gu Xin shook her head, then took another look at the small courtyard before walking away with Gu si.
“Sister Xinxin, you’ve done well. My father said that I can’t just take other people’s food. The people outside are all very bad, they will use sweets and pretty hair flowers to coax the little girl. After coaxing the little girl away, she will be sold to others as a slave and can not come back to see her father and mother for the rest of her life.” After walking for a long time, Gu si suddenly said. After he finished speaking, he even turned his head to look behind him.
“Yes, uncle is right. My father, mother, and sister also said that we girls have to guard against men outside and can’t just trust them. Without father, mother, and sister by our side, we can’t just go with anyone, and we can’t just believe the words of others. Sisi, even if it’s just the two of us in the future, you have to remember these words. We’re both a little stupid, so we’ll have to follow the big Sisters.” Gu Xin agreed.
Sister Xinxin, you’re smarter than me. I’m the stupid one. Gu si said.
“No, I’m also very stupid. However, our Big Sisters are all smart. In the future, as long as we are obedient, we won’t be bullied!” Gu Xin said.
“Yeah, that’s true.” Gu si nodded.
The two sisters entered the Yang family’s house hand in hand.
