Joe's Farming

A few days later, the new grave for Gu's father and mother was ready.

Early in the morning of the auspicious day calculated by Fuman.

Gu Feng and Gu Gang took Qiao Yu and Hong Xiu, as well as Li Xin, Da Zhuang and several strong workers to Shangxi Village.

The purpose of their trip this time was very clear. They would first ask the village chief to move the Gu family's ancestral tomb.

Then Li Xin's family severed the relationship between Li Xin and his original family.

Qiao Yu thought that Mrs. Gu and her family must be up to something.

So let Gu Feng go to Xiaxixi Village first to pick up Wang Xiuzhi and Gu Xiuxiu. They can act as substitutes for Gu Feng and Gu Gang.

Moreover, with someone who knows the inside story of the past present, there is no way that Old Lady Gu can accuse the brothers Gu Feng and Gu Gang of any crime.

Two carriages drove into Shangxi Village one after another.

In addition to the two horse-drawn carriages, they also rented an ox cart to pull the coffin over.

For this purpose, they specially made a thick board. The owner of the ox cart did not want the cart to hit the coffin directly, so he offered ten times the price before agreeing.

At first, the villagers of Shangxi Village thought that it was the town master who had arrived, but they saw a coffin on the rear panel cart.

Looking more closely, the two men driving the car look so familiar.

The chief of Shangxi Village happened to be at the entrance of the village, and he soon recognized one of them as Gu Feng.

When the kid was about to move out, he tried to keep him for a long time.

"Gu boy! Why did you come back? What are you planning to do?"

The village chief walked up and asked.

"Village chief." Gu Feng greeted him lightly.

The other villagers then remembered that this was the youngest son of the former Gu family.

A few years ago, I heard from Old Mrs. Gu that someone died outside, but it turns out that’s not the case.

"Village Chief, Xiaofeng and I are here to relocate our parents' graves."

Gu Gang jumped out of the car and said, handing a pack of dry tobacco to the village chief.

He remembered that the village chief used to like to smoke a few puffs of dry tobacco when he had nothing to do, so he went to the town to buy half a pound of it.

The village chief looked at Gu Gang in shock: "You, you are Gangwazi! You..."

Gu Gang smiled and said, "I'm not dead. I just returned to Taoyuan before the New Year and now I live with Xiaofeng."

The village chief patted Gu Gang's sturdy arm, then glanced at Gu Feng and Qiao Yu who was sitting next to him:

"Okay, okay, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. You two kids have a promising future now. Come on, I'll go with you."

The village chief has been in the village for 20 years and knows what kind of person Grandma Gu is.

"Go and ask the old patriarch of your Gu family first. Logically speaking, you are the children of Boss Gu, so you can move the grave as long as you are willing.

But we still have to give you this face, and since the old patriarch is here, they dare not embarrass you too much."

The village chief instructed.

"Hey! What the village chief said is right. We will go and invite him right away."

So the carriages and soldiers were divided into two groups, and Gu Gang went to invite the clan leader.

Gu Feng and Qiao Yu went to Li Xin's house.

Qiao Yu yelled into the car: "Li Xin, come out and show me the way."

As soon as Li Xin got out of the car, a villager who knew him said in surprise:

"Isn't this the brother from the Li family who ran away? Why did he come back with the kid from the Gu family?"

"I don't know. There's a good show to watch today."

"Both Aunt Li and Old Lady Gu are difficult to deal with. I'm afraid the two boys from the Gu family will bleed today."

"What are you afraid of? Look at them now. Who knows how rich they are."

"Tsk, I should have married my daughter to Gu Feng earlier."

Qiao Yu smiled at the man and said, "Auntie, there is nothing to know in advance. Even if you want to marry my husband, you may not marry him."

The aunt's face turned red instantly.

"Wow, this man is quite sharp-tongued."

"But he's really handsome."

"Gu Feng is really lucky..."

Qiao Yu wanted to retort again, but Gu Feng gently held her hand: "Let them say whatever they want. I was just lucky anyway."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "No, I am the one."

Li Xin sat next to him: ...

I am full again, and I really want to thank the villagers who complained along the way.

The Li family lived not far from the village entrance, but the road in front of the door was a bit bad, so Qiao Yu and his friends parked the car not far away and got off and walked over.

"This family is not very good. They don't even clean up the road in front of their house."

Qiao Yu complained.

Their family was different. Gu Feng and Gu Gang would often dig and patch up the mountain road in front of their house.

It looks relatively flat.

There is mud and stones everywhere in the countryside, and every household will fill up the dirt road in front of their house from time to time.

There are many potholes in front of this family's door, which shows that they are not a hardworking family.

Gu Feng walked to the shabby wooden door of Li’s house and knocked.

No one opened the door.

Qiao Yu shouted at the top of her voice: "Is anyone home?"

After a long while, a sound was heard from the yard.

squeak-

Aunt Li had obviously just woken up. She opened the door with an impatient look on her face. Just as she was about to start scolding, she saw Qiao Yu and Gu Feng, who were dressed in fancy clothes.

Fearing that he was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he immediately smiled and said:

"What's the matter with you knocking on the door?"

Qiao Yu pulled Li Xin out from behind him and said, "I want to buy this child. Name your price.

Let me be clear first, you know how much this child is worth, and I don't want an exorbitant price.

You also have to compensate me for the money I spent on his medical treatment, food, and clothes..."

Aunt Li saw that Li Xin's clothes were much better than her own and interrupted him: "Ten taels!"

When she went to the town to sell Li Xin, the brothel offered her eight taels of silver. It wouldn't be too much for her to ask for two more taels.

Qiao Yu frowned and said unhappily: "Don't you know how much money your child cost me?

I ran to the mountain on a snowy day and nearly froze to death. It took me ten taels of silver to save me.

You're asking me to spend an extra ten taels of silver now?"

Qiao Yu was already confusing concepts; he was here just to buy someone.

What does it have to do with him saving people before?

Aunt Li also thought of this and said angrily, "He wanted to run away on his own.

If you die, you die. Whatever happens to you is not my fault.

The brothel in town agreed before that this dead child is worth eight taels of silver, I won’t sell it for a penny less!”

"Heh." Qiao Yu sneered.

"Okay, I'll go to the government and sue you. My son was rescued but you didn't pay me. He's your son, not mine. If you don't sell him to me, I want the money back.

This is the prescription that was written to save your son. It is clearly written in black and white.

The doctor at that time can also serve as my witness. Your family can’t deny this debt!”

Qiao Yu took out a piece of paper, which he had prepared in advance.

It's not that he doesn't have ten taels of silver, but he doesn't want to let the parents who sell their children into the fire pit get away with it easily for money.

If sold to a government pawnshop or worked as a servant in a wealthy family, the price would be lower, but there would be relative freedom.

Selling it to a brothel, what was she thinking?!

Aunt Li was so scared that she was stunned and was thinking about how to bargain.

At this time, a deep voice came from the yard: "Who is it? Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning? It's so annoying!"

Li Xin pulled Qiao Yu and whispered, "That cheap dad."

It was this stepfather who had a disagreement with Aunt Li and insisted on marrying him to a greasy uncle in his forties.

It seemed that it was because the man was willing to pay five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and also because the cheap father had some conscience and was prepared to marry the child off, which would give him a better reputation than selling him to a brothel.

It was also because of the disagreement between the couple that he had the opportunity to escape.

Li Mingliang walked to the gate and saw Li Xin at a glance:

"You little brat! How dare you come back? I'll break your legs!"
