Chapter 170 This is the Guo family, right?
Liu Zhiheng was startled by his expression and responded cautiously, "Chief Guo of Taihua Academy is about to buy Zhuangzi. I told him to send someone to ask."
Mr. Wen frowned and asked, "Are all Mr. Guo's children around?"
In fact, he had already guessed that this Guo family was the one they were looking for, but he still couldn't help but want to confirm it. After all, the incident was too tragic to be mistaken.
Liu Zhiheng didn't understand what he was hesitating about, but he still said it.
“Before moving the capital, Chief Guo only brought a sick grandson here to seek medical treatment. His children and grandchildren were all in Kyoto. After the capital was moved, perhaps they were delayed on the road or something happened, so they never came.
“I heard that Mr. Guo is now only being cared for by his distant nephew and his family who live locally. Mr. Guo speculates that his son and grandson have suffered an accident and become seriously ill, so he wants to buy a village and live outside the city to recuperate.”
Mr. Wen nodded, stood up and said, "Let me wait here for now. Let's go back to see our junior sister. We have some things to arrange."
“What’s going on? It’s so mysterious? Can’t we tell you now?” Liu Zhiheng complained, but he followed him back to Zhuangzi next door.
Mrs. Cui is looking through the account books. There are many tenants and slaves in Zhuangzi, and it will take some effort to sort them out.
She suddenly saw Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng coming back, so she invited them to sit down for tea and asked, "Is everything going well?"
"Of course it went well. You didn't realize how badly Dingbei Hou was dealt with by Junior Brother Wen. Even the Jiao family was so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word."
Liu Zhiheng looked down on Mr. Wen at first. After all, there was a bachelor who worked as a teacher. He passed the exams and entered the Hanlin Academy, but ended up hanging around and waiting to die.
Those who disdain power and dislike fighting are just cowardly excuses.
When a man walks in the world, his power is armor and weapons. You can not hurt others, but you must ensure that you and your family are not bullied.
In the past many years, he clearly loved his junior sister to the core, but just because his junior sister married someone else, like a decadent lost dog, he watched his junior sister suffer without doing anything.
Fortunately, this catastrophe finally enlightened him. Not only did he go upstream and return to Kyoto to rescue his junior sister, he also secretly made many arrangements.
Otherwise this time it would not go so smoothly and the Marquis of Dingbei would be forced to admit his mistake and compensate Zhuangzi!
Mr. Wen didn’t know that his image in Liu Zhiheng’s heart had been greatly improved.
He considered it carefully and said slowly, "Junior sister, I have obtained the land deed of the village next door. If you find a buyer, you can go to the government office to open a stall at any time."
“Okay, thank you, senior brother and adopted brother.” Mrs. Cui nodded with a smile on her face.
She knew how greedy Dingbeihou was for money, so she felt as if her heart had been cut.
And when he was not doing well, she couldn't help but be happy.
"Sister-in-law, could you please disperse everyone in the village next door, sort out the grain and farm tools, and I will send them to Broken Gold Beach. This time, the villagers are worried and will not apologize. I feel bad. Also, if the wooden utensils in the yard are good, move them back and store them. When the Li family moves into the new yard, I will send them as gifts. "
Liu Zhiheng smiled and said, "Why don't you give me a new set when you move to a new house? I can just find someone to make them."
Mrs. Cui quickly shook her head, "No, sworn brother, Aunt Li is very sensible and strong-willed. If I make a new set, she won't accept it. If it is said to be compensation from the Jiao family, she will definitely accept it happily."
Liu Zhiheng nodded and had a better impression of the Li family.
“Well, I’ll ask someone to move it back. If you go there during the housewarming, remember to take me with you. Recently, many people have talked about the hot springs in that valley, and I’m afraid they are all looking forward to it.”
Mrs. Cui quickly told her, "Sister-in-law, if we are chatting with outsiders, you must help add a few words. Broken Gold Beach was built by Marquis Xinting with money. It is the property of the Marquis Mansion, and the Marquis also has a yard outside the valley. ”
Liu Zhiheng understood and nodded quickly, "Okay, this is easy. But it is a good idea to bear the name of Marquis Xinting, otherwise many people may have other ideas."
Mr. Wen listened to the two talking for a long time, but neither of them were focused on business, so he couldn't help but take over the conversation. "Junior sister, just now my sworn brother mentioned that someone wants to buy Zhuangzi recently, and he plans to send someone to ask. And this family is Mr. Guo Shanchang of Taihua Academy in Kyoto."
“Guo family?” Mrs. Cui was also surprised and asked loudly.
At this time, Liu Zhiheng gave up completely and asked, "What's going on with you guys? You always look like this when I mention the Guo family. Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly, "Junior sister, that's the Guo family. I heard that Chief Guo only brought a sick grandson with him, and his children and grandchildren are all in the north and have not come."
Mrs. Cui sighed deeply, "That's right."
Having said that, without waiting for Liu Zhiheng to ask further questions, she told the story of how she was rescued by people from Qingshui Village on the road, how her child was kidnapped, how she accidentally killed bandits, and how she saw the Guo family being brutalized.
Liu Zhiheng was so shocked that his eyes widened. He hated the bandits for their cruelty and sympathized with Guo Shan's eldest ancestor and grandson.
“If Chief Guo Shan knew about it, I’m afraid his body wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
Mr. Wen sighed, "Actually, I'm afraid the old man has some suspicions in his heart. Let's tell him. Once the dust settles, he will be strong. After all, he still has a grandson to raise."
Mrs. Cui also nodded, "Well, sworn brother, I'd better ask the Guo family about Zhuangzi's affairs. If Mr. Guo comes to live in the future, I can take care of him to some extent. This can be considered as a classmate friendship with Mrs. Guo. As for when? To tell the truth, you still have to choose a chance.”
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng both responded, “This is the only way.”
The three of them chatted for a few more words and then went about their business. After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Cui took the convoy and rushed to Broken Gold Beach again.
Jia An Jiaxi and other naughty boys have regular errands and cannot be naughty at home. It is too quiet in the valley.
Jiayin didn’t want to hang out with the little babies from different families and drool over each other, so she stayed with her grandma. Digging vegetables, picking vegetables, making fire, in short, doing some chores to kill boredom.
She is so well-behaved, which makes the women in the village extremely envious.
“Fu Niu’er is so good. She doesn’t cry or fuss. She’s plump and cute. We all want to have another baby.”
"Even if the baby is born, it will have to be after we move into the new home. If we get pregnant at this time, we will definitely suffer."
“Yes, it’s best to conceive in autumn. Cats last all winter, and babies are born in late spring for easy care.”
Women have all been here before, and when it comes to giving birth, it is as common as eating and sleeping.
Mrs. Li was afraid of bringing her granddaughter into trouble, but her granddaughter didn't seem to understand and grumbled softly. It was obvious that she was stealing candy **** and had no intention of listening to the excitement.
Just when she was about to wipe the saliva of her greedy granddaughter, Mrs. Cui arrived with a motorcade.
When the villagers saw this situation, they couldn't help but drop their work and join in.
Jiayin had finished eating her snacks and was looking forward to Mrs. Cui. At this moment, she ran over with her fat legs and hugged Mrs. Cui's thigh.
Mrs. Cui smiled and hugged her and gave her a big kiss, "Fu Niu misses my aunt? My aunt has brought you delicious food. We will talk about it later."
Jiayin’s smiling eyes were like crescent moons, and he hugged her neck and never let go.
The village chief, Uncle Zhao, Li Laoer and others came forward, and the village chief asked, "Mrs. Cui, has Hu Laosan's matter been resolved?"
