Chapter 34: Buy mountain

Chapter 34 Buying a Mountain

After getting the money, Gu Jiao wondered what to do.

On the second day, Xiao Liulang returned from school, and a family of three sat in the main room for dinner.

said that they are a family of three. In fact, there is no relationship between them, but they are strangely harmonious.

The old lady gnawed a big drumstick, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said: "If you have something to say!"

Gu Jiao: The old lady has good eyesight. How can you tell that she has something to say?

"I want to buy mountains." Gu Jiao said.

"Winter sweater or autumn sweater?" The old lady gave Gu Jiao a little speechless look, as if complaining that this little thing is worth grinding.

"I'm not talking about clothes, but the mountain, the mountain behind our village." Gu Jiao always picks fungus and mountain fungus on the mountain and finds that there are a lot of good things there. If you buy it, since you can pick mountain products, you can also pick medicine. They can also cut wood and hunt...In short, the slopes are full of value, and they will never lose money.

"Buy!"

Unexpectedly, the old lady did not hesitate at all. In the matter of spending money, the old lady is really impeccable and generous.

If this is replaced by the original owner’s mother, Wu, I’m afraid to jump up and scold Gu Jiao: "Little Lost Star, Prodigal Wife, you also buy the mountain, the silver is brought by the gale!"

In the eyes of most folks, mountains are worthless. At most, they can chop firewood and pick wild vegetables. Although there are mountain products and prey, no one will buy the whole mountain for these things.

Gu Jiao is one of knowing the goods, and the other is the ability to deal with any danger in the deep mountains, so that mountain will be a huge cornucopia in her hands.

In the past, she had just made up her mind on such things. Xiao Liulang never interfered with any of her decisions, but since the arrival of the old lady, their way of getting along seems to have changed imperceptibly.

"Are you talking about the mountain that went up from behind Uncle Luo's house?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded.

Qingquan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. What she likes is the hill in the middle, which is also a hill frequently visited by the villagers. Uncle Luo’s house is at the foot of the hill.

"Okay, I'll ask Lizheng later." Xiao Liulang didn't hesitate.

Gu Jiao scratched her head. It was her grandfather inside. It was okay for her to ask. She didn't say it to keep him busy.

After dinner, Xiao Liulang went to Gu’s old house.

The Zhou family and the Liu family were beaten up by the yamen for thirty times. In the past few days, they have been lying in the house to recuperate, and the house has been cleaned a lot.

"Brother-in-law! What are you doing?" Gu Xiaoshun opened the door.

"I'll find Lizheng." Xiao Liulang said.

Although he and Gu Jiao became relatives, he always addressed the old man in a straightforward manner.

"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun was only surprised that his brother-in-law would come, but he was not surprised by his name. After all, the Gu family forced his brother-in-law to marry first and squeezed his brother-in-law's hard-earned money. All the pens are debts.

"Master, brother-in-law is here!" Gu Xiaoshun led Xiao Liulang to Master Gu's house.

Old man Gu glanced at Xiao Liulang somewhat unexpectedly. If he remembers correctly, this is the first time Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao came to the old house of Gu’s family after their wedding.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Old Man Gu asked.

Xiao Liulang said indifferently, "Let me ask Lizheng, how can the mountain behind Luo Ershu's house be sold?"

"What are you asking about this? Does anyone in your college want to buy a mountain?" No matter how the old man's mind is open, he will never expect that his granddaughter will buy the mountain. "That mountain costs a lot of money... and, It’s not anyone who wants to buy it. That mountain is not under the control of our village or the county government. It is the land in the temple."

"Temple?" Xiao Liulang frowned slightly. He didn't know that there was a temple here.

Elder Gu said: "Yes, it's the temple. You haven't been here soon, maybe you haven't been. On the other side of the mountain, you can walk around from the foot of the mountain in about an hour. If you guys in the college want to buy a mountain, I have to go to the temple to talk to their abbot."

Thinking of what, Mr. Gu said again: “Speaking of which, Jiao Niang was born in that temple.”

After Xiao Liulang got home, Gu Jiao greeted him and asked him, "How is it? What did the Gu family say?"

Xiao Liulang relayed the original words of Old Man Gu.

"It's the land in the temple..." The original owner has never been to that temple either. No, according to Mr. Gu, she was born in the temple, so she has been there. "Didn't you say how much money you need? ?"

"I didn't say specifically, but maybe one hundred taels is not enough." Xiao Liulang said.

"Oh, then I still have it." Gu Jiao said, grabbing a handful of naked silver boys from her pocket and placing it on the table.

The old lady's action of nibbling sunflower seeds stopped.

However, this was not over yet, Gu Jiao grabbed another hand, another hand, another hand, another hand.

The old lady and Xiao Liulang were stunned at the same time. There are two or thirty taels of these naked silver girls, right? Where did she get them?

Xiao Liulang settled down and asked, "Are you making money from selling mountain products?"

"Hmm!" Gu Jiao tried her best to open her eyes wide, with a sincere expression, "It's definitely not a fight!"

Xiao Liulang: "..." 鈥斺�

In ancient times, there were not many vacations for studying. Except for ten-day vacations, field vacations during busy periods of farming, and clothing vacations in September, there were only annual vacations from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month.

In the past, the annual leave was in the first half of the twelfth lunar month, and this year has been postponed to the second half of the year. Because of the upcoming annual leave, there will be no more ten-year leave in the next half month.

Gu Jiao didn't want Xiao Liulang to ask for leave from the academy for this matter, so she decided to go to the temple by herself.

Considering the lessons learned last time, Gu Jiao did not leave the food directly to the old lady in the pot this time, but found Xue Ningxiang and asked her to take care of the old lady.

"Your aunt..."

"Her disease is okay, it won't be contagious."

"Ah, I didn't mean that."

How could Gu Jiao not know what Xue Ningxiang helped her lie? Naturally, I guessed what Xue Ningxiang had guessed, but Xue Ningxiang did not report on her, nor did he alienate her.

Xue Ningxiang didn’t ask how Gu Jiao cured her leprosy. She just had to believe that Gu Jiao was right: “Don’t worry, I will take care of your aunt.”
