In the end, Gu Yunxi went up in person, untied Gu Yunle, and carried her back to the bullock cart driven by Lu Jianchuan.

Mrs. Hua on the side finally realized that these people in front of her, who even Master Liu wanted to give face to, were definitely not ordinary people.

Hua Pozi was ready to die now. She didn't expect that just like usual, she went to buy a little girl and actually provoked such a big shot.

At this time, Mr. Liu had no energy to pay attention to Mrs. Hua. He was busy saying good things to Shopkeeper Wen, but the latter didn't buy it.

Gu Yunxi settled down with Gu Yunle, walked up to Chen Wenyan, thanked him, said she would treat them to dinner another day, and promised to do anything she could do in the future.

Gu Yunle's mood was very unstable now, so Gu Yunxi didn't stay much longer. After thanking Chen Wenyan and shopkeeper Wen repeatedly, he ignored Mr. Liu's apology and walked straight back to the bullock cart, putting one foot on the wheel hub to gain strength. He pushed hard with his other foot and got on the bullock cart.

Lu Jianchuan then waved his whip and drove the ox cart to the village.

Instead of returning to Xijiang Village, the few people asked Lu Jianchuan to drive the ox cart directly back to Dongpo Village and went straight to the head of Dongpo Village's home.

At the same time, Mrs. Fang was in the house with Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu took out the slings of copper coins one by one, counted them one by one, and strung them back one by one, while Mrs. Fang watched from the side. Showing envy.

After a while, Mrs. Gu finished counting the ten strings of copper coins. She looked at Fang on the side with some impatience in her eyes, so she reluctantly picked up a string and handed it to Fang.

Fang took it, hesitated for half a second, and said with some surprise: "Mom, didn't you agree to give me two taels of silver? Why is this only one tael?"

"Why, it's still too little? It's pretty good and you dare to reject it. If you don't want it, just give it back to me!" Mrs. Gu's old face turned horizontal, she looked a little fierce, and she glared at Fang.

Mrs. Fang was indeed a little scared when she saw Mrs. Gu like this, but she thought of the one tael of silver, so she said, "Mom, you can't say that. We agreed at the beginning that this Yazi is still my mother's brother." If you’re looking for it, you have to give him dozens of pennies, right?”

"Otherwise, if he can't control his mouth and some bad news comes out, it will be bad for our family's reputation, don't you think? Besides, neither dad nor Brother Yang's dad knows about it now!"

Fang, a bitch, dared to threaten her. She really didn't care about her mother-in-law!

But what she said makes sense. If something bad comes out outside, the second roommate has two grandsons studying in the school. Moreover, Mr. Gu and the boss don't know yet about selling that damn girl Yunle! Later, the eldest daughter-in-law will have to help with the conversation.

Old Mrs. Gu reluctantly stared at Ms. Fang, wanting to tear her face apart. I had no choice but to hand over another bunch of money to Ms. Fang sadly.

After receiving the money, Ms. Fang beamed instantly and kept saying good things about Mrs. Gu. She also said that if anything happened in the future, just tell her daughter-in-law to do it.

Mrs. Gu snorted coldly and told her to get out without raising her eyes, while she continued to pull the remaining eight strings of copper coins.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Wu was busy in the yard. She had just returned from working outside in the morning and was hanging clothes in the yard. She was surprised to see Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan coming back.

What was even more surprising was that the village chief also came, and even several respected elders in the clan also came.

What's happening here? The village chief and the elders of these clans were all invited by Gu Yunxi?

"Aunt, have you seen my grandma and Fang?" Gu Yunxi asked directly.

"Uh, it seems they are all in the house!" Wu seemed to have heard the two people talking in the house just now, and replied while hanging clothes, with a slightly questioning look in her eyes.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Fang came out of the house.

When they saw Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan, followed by that dead girl Gu Yunle, they looked like they had seen a ghost.

The village chief and the elders of several clans knew what they were doing when they saw the reactions of Mrs. Gu and Fang.

"Yunle, you damn girl, where have you been all morning? You haven't even finished your work at home!" Mrs. Fang reacted first and shouted to Gu Yunle.

When Gu Yunle heard what she said, he didn't answer her words, but his newly comforted emotions were aroused again and he began to sob.

Mrs. Gu frowned and was about to say something.

"Ms. Fang, what are you pretending to be here? Didn't you sell Yunle to Mrs. Hua? How can she help the family?" Gu Yunxi was angered by Mrs. Fang's appearance.

Fang's expression didn't change, and she replied: "Yunxi, what are you talking about? Yunle is also my daughter after all, how could I do such a thing! I am also your stepmother after all, and you didn't want to see me in the past. Forget it, how can you slander my reputation like this?"

"Yunle was sold by you and me. This is what Mrs. Hua admitted personally! How could it be fake!" Gu Yunxi was obviously disgusted by this woman.

"How is that possible? Is there some misunderstanding?" Fang continued to talk nonsense.

At this time, on the way the village chief Gu Jiaxiong came with several clan members, the old man Gu and the elder Gu who asked him to shout in the fields all returned home.

The village chief and others had basically understood the situation on the way here. This Dongpo Village is either big or small. Although the village is poor, some people send their children to be apprentices, but I have never heard of anyone selling their children.

You know, although the people in the village are poor, they are all from good families. If you sell yourself to a rich family, you will have to become a slave! Future generations will also be inferior to others.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Fang are really troublemakers. We can't let them ruin the atmosphere of the village.

Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu, who had just returned home, were still a little confused. They didn't know why the village chief called them back. The fields were busy now and they would soon be preparing for the autumn harvest.

The village chief said to Mr. Gu: "Uncle, today I came with Third and Sixth Gong to talk to you, why did your family sell their children? Although our Dongpo Village is poor, there is no precedent for selling children. !”

"What? Selling a child? What selling a child?" Mr. Gu didn't react and didn't seem to know anything about it.

Boss Gu looked at Gu Yunle in the crowd who was crying with tears all over his face, and then looked at Fang who was shouting injustice at the top of his lungs. He looked at Gu Yunxi with some suspicion, but Gu Yunxi didn't even look at him.

Gu Yunxi said to Mr. Gu: "Sir, you don't know, right? My grandma and stepmother sold Yunle to Mr. Liu's house in the town today, and Mrs. Hua personally came to pick her up at home! Sold it There are ten taels of silver!"

The villagers who were watching were still talking about how the Gu family sold their children when they were not that poor.

Now when I heard Gu Yunxi say this, I was even more surprised. This Gu family is really a bit dehumanized. Even if they sell their children, they still sell them to Master Liu's family in the town. This Master Liu is not a good person!
