After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

When Gu Mingda heard this, he said: "So, you have to kill even a living person. This ghost marriage must be matched, right?"

Granny Cai opened her mouth to respond, but this time Zhang Guangzong suddenly jumped over.

He always regarded himself as a scholar and was not willing to deal with the villagers. When he saw that my mother was trying to trick her, he ran out.

"Gu Mingda, please stop trying to trick my mother. Don't talk about whether she has these things or not. Return my daughter to me now!" Zhang Guangzong said fiercely.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang are worthy of being a couple. When facing Zhang Guangzong, each one made a bigger statement than the other and said, "Don't even call me brother-in-law? Is this the rule for you scholars?"

Zhang Guangzong was so angry that he wanted to say that Gu Mingda didn't call Mrs. Cai just now, but times had changed, and now it seemed like he was being petty to settle old scores.

Gu Mingda narrowed his eyes and saw that he still didn't call anyone, so he said: "Are you not going to recognize me as a relative? Well, I will tell others later that you and I have nothing to do with each other, and you don't have to do it anymore." It’s so hard to prove to others that you are my brother-in-law.”

Zhang Guangzong looked at Gu Mingda in disbelief after hearing this.

Zhang Guangzong has always disliked Gu Mingda.

They were both scholars, but they were all just children and none of them were admitted as scholars. However, his and Gu Mingda's popularity in the circle of scholars in Guang'an County was very different.

Gu Mingda has become a guest of the county's lecturers and has a wide circle of friends among scholars.

In contrast, Zhang Guangzong is like an unpleasant mouse. Others always point out his small mistakes and keep mentioning them. His classmates reject him. If it weren't for his status as Gu Mingda's brother-in-law, he would have no chance. Several scholars were willing to pay attention to him.

Zhang Guangzong always thought that he was hiding well and felt that Gu Mingda didn't know that he was showing off outside under the name of his brother-in-law.

He didn't expect that Gu Mingda knew everything, but he never mentioned it.

At this time, when Gu Mingda said this, it was no different from directly poking Zhang Guangzong's aorta. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in on the spot.

Zhang Guangzong would not blame himself. He cursed Gu Mingda in his heart for being a hypocrite and deliberately watching his jokes.

But no matter how angry he was, Zhang Guangzong still had to bow his head to Gu Mingda and shout: "Brother-in-law" in order to be able to eat well in the local area.

After Gu Mingda responded, his brother-in-law held his head even more clearly, and continued to point out from the moral high ground, saying: "Although you and Yun Niang are not born from the same mother, they are still biological siblings. Although Yun Niang's You have learned nothing about noble moral character, but as your brother-in-law, I can also be regarded as your elder brother. You should also understand that an elder brother is like a father. There are some rules that I have to teach you..."

Zhang Guangzong couldn't help clenching his fists after hearing these words.

At this time, Zhang Yunniang, the wife who Gu Mingda said was of high moral character, was holding Niu Niu in her arms and peering out of the door to see the excitement. Seeing her husband quelling all the arrogance of his younger brother with a series of beatings, Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but smile. got up.

Niuniu's eyes were shining brightly and she said, "Mom, the new father is so awesome. The old father didn't dare to say a word in front of him."

Zhang Yunniang gently touched the top of Niu Niu's soft hair and said, "When you meet your old father in the future, you can call me uncle directly. Do you understand?"

Seeing her husband's attitude, Zhang Yunniang understood that it was almost certain that Niuniu would become her daughter.

In the yard, Gu Mingda continued to teach his brother-in-law as the eldest brother: "The family has no money for medical treatment and can only watch my daughter die, and deliberately waiting for my daughter to die of illness to get married. These are two different things. If we really want to make a fuss, do you think Is there anyone else willing to take the college exam with you?"

When Zhang Guangzong heard this, he glanced at his biological mother, Granny Cai, with hatred. If she hadn't been lax in her words, no one would have known that he sold his daughter into a ghost marriage.

His biggest obsession in life is to be admitted as a scholar in the imperial examination, so that those who look down on him can see that Zhang Guangzong is much better than Gu Mingda.

To be admitted as a scholar, you must pass the college examination. In addition to having a local student as a guarantor, you must also sign bonds with four children to ensure that the other party will not commit fraud.

Gu Mingda's threat was not a lie. Scholars are the noblest people. If word spread that Zhang Guangzong forced his daughter to death just to get married, no one would be willing to enter into a guarantee with him. He would really not be able to take the college examination and become a scholar.

A hint of guilt flashed across Zhang Guangzong's face at this time, but he was not willing to give up his daughter to the Gu family just like that, so he could only say harshly: "I will raise my daughter by myself and will not go to other families. What my mother just said nonsense, I have no intention of getting her married."

Gu Mingda also knew that he would not bow his head so easily. Mrs. Cai only said that she sold it to a member of staff, but did not say to whom. Gu Mingda thought for a moment, then took two steps towards Zhang Guangzong, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Which family member did you originally plan to sell the child to? Yuan Wang's family, right?"

Zhang Guangzong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Gu Mingda could guess this.

The reason Gu Mingda guessed was quite simple. He happened to hear that Wang Yuan's wife's youngest son was gone. The child was not much different in age from Niu Niu. It was already difficult for ordinary people to survive, and they would not be willing to spend money to support their son. Yin marriage.

Gu Mingda continued: "Based on my understanding of Wang Yuanwai, he won't be willing to pay too high a price, about five taels of silver, right?"

Previously, it could be said that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse. This time, Zhang Guangzong was really scared and sweating profusely. Although he had long known that Gu Mingda was extraordinary, after being a relative for so many years, he had no idea that Gu Mingda was a living god. , you can guess everything!

Gu Mingda looked at his reaction and knew that he had guessed correctly. A healthy girl of Niu Niu's age would cost about seven or eight taels of silver. Wang Yuanwai would not offer a higher price than this. If the price was too low, the Zhang family would not be so eager. He guessed it casually and it was right.

Gu Mingda also knew that he could not push people too hard. Although the Zhang family were not good people, they had raised a child to the age of five. If they did not give them anything, then it would be their Gu family who would be criticized.

"I will pay six taels of silver, and Niu Niu will be adopted by our family." Gu Mingda offered a price that Zhang Guangzong could not refuse on the spot.

Zhang Guangzong was tempted to see that he did not have to bear the bad reputation of ghost marriage and could get one tael more than ghost marriage.

But he had always regarded Gu Mingda as his rival. He felt a sense of frustration in his heart when he let his rival achieve his wish so easily.

"No, Niuniu is a child I picked up from the river. I have watched her grow up and raised her with great effort. I really can't bear to give her to you." Zhang Guangzong tried to force Gu Mingda to raise the price in this way.

He also wanted to see Gu Mingda's face.

But Gu Mingda knew his tricks very well and bargained in the opposite direction: "Five taels of silver, if you bargain once more, I will lower the price once more."

Gu Mingda's attitude was very clear. He wanted to adopt the child and he would never indulge Zhang Guangzong's bad habits.
