When the two of them saw this, they couldn't believe it. Wang Suyun stood up quickly, pointed at her and asked, "Are you crazy? Just for a few dozen taels of silver, you don't care about anything?"

Little Zhao didn't care about acting anymore, and asked with a sullen face, "You don't want your reputation? Are you afraid of being stabbed in the back? Do you think you can do whatever you want now that you are rich? Okay, even if you do small favors to the villagers , let them all stand on your side, and they will turn a blind eye and not care about the money, but aren't you afraid of spreading the word? People outside will not give you face, are you really not afraid of affecting Xu Huaiyi's imperial examination? "

The two of them stared at each other angrily, as if she had done something heinous.

Gu Huanxi's expression remained unchanged, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and then said lightly sarcastically, "I walk and sit upright, and I am not afraid of what others say. Your accusation is even more shameless and ridiculous. If I care, then it's all Is it forced intelligence, or what I said, the Gu family and the Xu family are two families, and I don’t have the responsibility or obligation to support anyone."

"You..." Wang Suyun suddenly became anxious when he saw that she was determined and refused to let her in. Before she came, her family had hinted that they should try to get as much benefit as possible. If they returned empty-handed, the men could easily let them go. ?

Xiao Zhao tentatively said, "If it really doesn't work, you can give me ten taels. To you, ten taels is just a matter of raising your hand, but it can save our family. You, you should do your best. I'm so pitiful." Those nieces and nephews of yours, woo hoo..."

She covered her face and choked.

Perhaps she was thinking of the child that fell out of her belly. There was nothing fake about her crying, it was very sincere.

Wang Suyu felt sad when she thought about the two girls she had sold, and she couldn't help but start crying. The two of them sang in harmony, and their cries kept coming and going for a long time.

Gu Huanxi sat calmly drinking tea, and casually smashed a few walnuts to eat.

Seeing the two people crying endlessly, Wei Ci was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she whispered, "Madam, why don't I ask Master Xu to come, or Village Chief Xu to come and administer justice?"

Gu Huanxi shook his head, "No, let them make trouble."

She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, but she was not afraid, so she just watched a show.

Seeing that her old spirit was here and confident, Wei Ci felt at ease. She got bored of waiting and even started sewing. She sewed one-piece cotton trousers for Ah Li. Ah Li grew so fast that he could wear the clothes for several months. , the size is not right. Anyway, there is no shortage of fabric and cotton at home, so I make it just right every time so that it is comfortable to wear.

The leisurely reaction of the master and servant made Wang Suyun and Xiao Zhao almost gasp for breath. It was too much to bully others, it was too much!

Wang Suyun was trembling with anger, "You, why have you become so cruel?"

Gu Huan said happily, "Not as good as you."

Xiao Zhao suddenly said, "You are not Gu Huanxi. Gu Huanxi shouldn't be like this."

Gu Huanxi's eyes flashed and he said calmly, "If you die once, you will no longer be the same as before. Otherwise, wouldn't you have to be a cow and a horse for you?"

Xiao Zhao staggered and murmured in a daze, "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, why has it changed so much?"

Gu Huanxi sneered, "Ever since I gave birth to Ah Li and survived a narrow escape, I told myself that I would never be as cowardly as before. Even if I am accused by thousands of people, even if I have to bear the burden of being unfilial, I will never show up to someone again." You people have compromised and been manipulated and rubbed by you. You say you have changed a lot, but what about you? You don’t look in the mirror. Compared with before, your greedy faces now are so ugly."

The two of them coincidentally raised their hands to touch their faces subconsciously. Yes, why haven't they changed? It's not just the appearance, but also the state of mind. It's full of jealousy and unwillingness. The men in the family are also full of hostility. It's just an escape, as if their lives have changed.

"Wei Ci, see you off."

This time, the two of them stopped crying and arguing. When they left, they were in despair. Gu Huanxi saw her, her eyes were cold and calm, without any sympathy.

The original owner and his wife, because of the cold treatment of the Xu family, even risked their lives. Now they are just a little depressed. What is there to sympathize with?

Then, she called Wei Liang and asked him to tell Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan that Wang Suyun and Xiao Zhao came to ask for money.

Within a quarter of an hour, Wei Liang came back. "After village chief Xu heard this, he was very angry. He also muttered something to Mr. Xu, saying that he was still too soft-hearted and could not bear to take care of the family. He told Liu The accountant is optimistic about the workshop and wants to find your fourth uncle to come forward..."

The fourth uncle's seniority was displayed there, and he was more intimidating than Xu Maoyuan.

Gu Huanxi nodded, "What's Uncle Xu's attitude?"

Wei Liang said, "He also looks ugly. Let me tell you that you don't need to pay attention to what the family said. You don't have to agree to whatever requests they make. He will handle it."

Gu Huanxi smiled. Uncle Xu's way of dealing with it was to be emotional and rational. He couldn't even slap him. As long as they were determined and tough, Xu Maoshan and Mrs. Zhao didn't do it at the beginning. Dare to send Xu Huaiyi into the Gu family as a son-in-law behind his back? Aren't you convinced of his good temper?

This time, I guess I'll be scolded and put down.

But those people in the old Xu family are rotten at their core. A scolding won't hurt at all, and even if they are whipped with a whip, they may not remember it. If you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches. Come to think of it, Village Chief Xu and his fourth uncle should have a way to deal with it. .

At this moment, the west wing of the Xu family was filled with the roar of the fourth uncle. After settling in Hutian Village for a month or two, all the energy and spirit he had lost came back, especially at this moment. He was so angry that he scolded him with great vigor, one sentence after another, tearing off every trace of Lao Xu's family's face.

"Why do you have the guts to ask for money? Your brains have been eaten by dogs, right? How many times have I told you that Xu Huaiyi is not a descendant of our Xu family, but the son-in-law of the Gu family. To join the Gu family, you only need to be filial Elder Gu, who do you think you are, licking your big face and asking for benefits?"

"You still use unfilial piety to oppress others. What do you have to do with the Gu family? Our Gu family and the Xu family are two different families now. When you go to ask for money, it is no different than going to the door to beg for food. When you are fleeing from famine, there is no shame in begging for food. When you get to the village , and you came to beg for food, you are stepping on the old Xu family's face and rubbing it on the ground!"

"It's just a few dozen taels for just opening your mouth, why don't you go grab it?"

"Who do you think is stupid? How many people can you feed with just a few dozen taels? In the name of your parents, you go to support yourselves, and you all lose your hands and feet? You have lost your face and even your backbone. What will happen to your descendants in the future?" Future generations will follow you and they will not be able to hold their heads up and be human beings. Are you trying to raise all the descendants of the old Xu family to be useless?"

In the west wing room, everyone from the old Xu family was there, old and young, crowded into the room. They were scolded by the fourth uncle, some were dumb, some were embarrassed, some were wiping tears, and some were unconvinced. , however, they all restrained themselves, no one said a word to refute, lowered their heads, and pretended to listen to the instructions honestly.
