No one in the Zhou clan expected that things would go well. Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and Cheng Yaojin was so strong that they were helpless, and he was so aggrieved that he died in an instant.
Patriarch Zhou was particularly angry. He asked Hong Xiaoni, "That's really Gu Xiaoxi's niece, are you sure?"
"She said her name is Gu Yundong, so that's right." Hong Xiaoni said, "She looks about the same age. I reckon she met a nobleman on the way to flee famine, and that's why she lives so well."
Speaking of this, Hong Xiaoni was a little jealous.
She was also fleeing famine, and she was also in her teens, so why did she meet a worthless man like Gu Xiaoxi? God was unfair to her.
Zhou Jingui was a little anxious, "Patriarch, now is not the time to talk about this. Patriarch Chang also said before that he would bring over the food that was compensated to us, but he stopped now. Things are not good for us, so don't ask us to do it the other way around. It would be a big loss to compensate them.¡±
"Okay, you don't need to remind me, I know." Patriarch Zhou said impatiently, and he was even more irritable, tapping his fingers on the table.
After a while, I asked the three elders opposite, "What do you think?"
"What else can I think? I said that I shouldn't be so messy at the beginning. The Chang family is not a fool. Once the matter is over, they will still figure it out. When the time comes"
"Crack." Patriarch Zhou slammed the table, his eyes widened, "What's the use of talking about this now? After doing everything, can you still go back in time?"
The clan elder shut his mouth and dared not speak.
The other clan elders also whispered, "In my opinion, it's better to just let it go and call it a misunderstanding. I think the couple will definitely not let Gu Xiaoxi be accused of adultery. The man is an imperial court official, and he pays special attention to his reputation. "
Patriarch Zhou also thought of this, so he was in such a dilemma.
But it's not easy to talk back about a misunderstanding, and the Chang family will be the first to grab them and make them bleed.
"Knock knock" There was a sudden knock on the door, Zhou Jingui went to open the door, and the villagers who came in were guarding outside the Gu family's yard.
Patriarch Zhou asked him, "What happened to them?"
"Nothing happened, I just bought some rice, noodles, fish and vegetables from the people of the Chang family for a tael of silver." The villager who spoke had a sour tone, and finally asked, "Patriarch, if they buy it again, can we buy it again?" Do you sell them?"
Patriarch Zhou waved his hand, "If you tell me to look at it, just look at it. What are you doing staring at that little money?"
The villagers can only go out.
However, as soon as he left, several people in the room began to discuss, "Just a little bit of rice, noodles and fish dishes, and I gave him a tael of silver. It's really generous."
"That's right, that man is an official. At first glance, the two of them are well dressed, and the family must not be short of money."
"I thought Gu Xiaoxi had no relatives and no reason, but I didn't expect to have such a rich niece now."
Several people were whispering, and Patriarch Zhou's face was ashen.
It was Zhou Jingui, whose eyes lit up suddenly, and whispered, "Actually, there is another way."
"What method, you say." Seeing his confident appearance, Patriarch Zhou immediately became interested.
Zhou Jingui glanced at Hong Xiaoni and said, "Xiaoni is still Gu Xiaoxi's daughter-in-law now, isn't that couple her juniors? As long as Xiaoni and Gu Xiaoxi live a good life in the future, they will be a family. How can a family be different?" Help each other, right?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
