Chapter 20: The Gu family's eyes were full of tears
Gu Xia blushed and accepted the mandarin duck pillow. After sending Aunt Gu away, she went back to the house to sort out the things she would take to the Jiang family tomorrow.
There was nothing to do at Gu's house, so she simply caught up on her sleep and it was dinner time as soon as she slept.
Gu Xia washed her face and felt refreshed. She carried the food packed from the restaurant and heated it up with the pot in the yard.
You don’t need to heat the roasted chicken, but you need to heat the shrimp dumplings.
The Gu family smelled the smell of meat again in the house, and they were so greedy that their eyes welled up with tears.
Just smelling it but not eating it is not an ordinary torture.
Fortunately, Gu Xia will get married tomorrow, so they don't have to suffer this torture.
Gu Xia cooked two plates of shrimp dumplings and a roasted chicken by himself, and fed the chicken bones to rhubarb.
Before falling asleep at night, Gu Xia entered the space with a thought, but this time the space did not eject her. She seemed to be able to stay a little longer, but she didn't have time to get excited, so she was busy digging water from the well and boiling a pot of warm water to take a bath.
The well is full of spiritual spring water. It is not too comfortable to take a bath, and all the fatigue on your body will be wiped away.
She feels refreshed after taking a bath. The space feels like spring all year round. There are small yards at the front and back. She plans to plant a yard in the future when she has time, growing vegetables in the front yard and fruits in the back yard.
As she thought this, a white light ejected her into space. Her body was still too weak and she couldn't stay in space for long!
The Gu family couldn't get any favors from her, and they didn't come to her house to cause trouble all night. It was rare for Gu Xia to have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Gu Xia got up early before dawn. After washing up in her room, she found a bag of bread in the refrigerator to eat. Getting married is also a physical job. How can you do it without eating enough? She was afraid that she would be exhausted before the wedding.
Gu Xia also discovered something magically. She clearly remembered that there were only two bags of bread in the refrigerator. She had eaten one bag before, but now there were still two bags.
The ham sausages she had eaten before had also returned to the original number. She boldly speculated that the space had the function of automatically replenishing items.
This is true even for the medicines in the medicine box. The few plasters given to Mrs. Zhao were replenished and inexhaustible.
But she tried it, except for the money. The money is spent, and there will be no additional replenishment.
Gu Xia put on her wedding clothes and put on light makeup.
She really didn't know how to tie up the bride's hair in ancient times, so she simply pulled her hair up and put on the silver hairpin Jiang Yi bought her, and she was already as beautiful as a little fairy.
She finished dressing up and left the space, planning to go outside in her wedding dress to see what was going on. When she pushed the door, she found that it couldn't be opened from the inside. She figured out with her toes that the Gu family had locked it outside.
Did she give face to the three people of the Gu family again? It will not stop on her wedding day.
Who are you looking down on if you think that leaving a lock on the door will trap her?
Gu Xia thought that there was another movement outside the door. Old man Gu and Gu Ming were ordering wooden boards on the window, intending to seal the window shut.
Afraid that she would escape through the window.
Huh! This is to delay her auspicious time to get married and bring bad luck to her.
Gu Xia raised her foot and planned to kick the door open. She should be able to kick it open if she was strong enough.
Before she could take action, she heard a burst of shouting outside.
"Isn't Xiaoxia getting married today? As an uncle, I should bring my whole family here to get married. Where is Xiaoxia? I won't let you be locked up. I know you are not a thing." Gu Changgui entered the hospital.
He scolded the Gu family.
Standing behind him were his three sons, all holding hoes for farming in their hands, looking menacingly.
When the three members of the Gu family saw this battle, their momentum instantly weakened. They didn't even dare to fart.
Gu Changgui's three sons stepped forward to catch Gu Ming, and without saying a word, they rewarded him with a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots, just to vent Gu Xia's anger.
Gu Ming was stunned by the beating. The three cousins were so cruel that they hit him in the face. Nosebleeds flowed down his face. Both Po Zhu and Old Man Gu were frightened.
"I'm just a single Miaomiao, and I'll be beaten to death if I continue to fight. Can't I just go and free that dead girl Zhaodi?" Zhu Po relented.
She was heartbroken when her son was beaten like this.
"If you don't hurry up and release your little sister, if you're too late and miss the auspicious time to get married, I'll cripple you, the only one." Gu Dasheng urged.
Zhu Po ran all the way to get the key and open the door for Gu Xia.
"I didn't expect you, a dead girl, to be protected by your uncle's family. Now that someone is supporting you, you are even more proud." Po Zhu saw Gu Xia sitting on the bed calmly and calmly, without any sign of panic.
I couldn't get angry at all.
If I had known that this damn girl was such a troublemaker, I wouldn't have brought her back.
"Mom is right. When I get married in the future, I will have the support of my husband's family, and my uncle and his family will protect my mother's side. My father and mother will not be able to control me. Mother will be weird with me here when she has time. It's better to think about it carefully.
When can you repay the five taels of silver you owe me? It's very urgent.
The main reason is that I'm worried that after marrying into the Jiang family, my mother won't be able to explain to Wang Yuanwai. If she can't double compensate Wang Yuanwai, she will be jailed by the government for fraud. Who will I ask for the money then?
"Gu Xia didn't forget to pay bills before she got married.
Po Zhu was so angry that she was trembling all over. She had learned the lesson.
With this damn girl's mouth, she can't get any benefit from it.
It would make her angry to death, and she would avoid it if she saw the dead girl in the future.
Gu Xia felt happy when she saw Granny Zhu's face twitching with anger. In terms of quarrel skills, no one could quarrel with her.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, and this girl's face is getting more and more pretty. Why didn't she comb her bridal hair? She didn't put on make-up either. How can this be possible? My sister-in-law can't do anything else. It's best to put her hair up and put on make-up.
I'm proficient. Sister-in-law, I'll do it again for you." Sister-in-law Gu deliberately squeezed Po Zhu away and walked into the house. She pulled Gu Xia affectionately and sat down.
She is Gu Dasheng's daughter-in-law. She was sold by her mother-in-law to a wealthy family as a maid, and she served as a maid for three years. She is good at combing her hair and putting on makeup.
The young lady got married, but she didn't follow him, so he returned her bond of sale and let her go.
Gu Xia sat there obediently without saying a word, letting Sister Gu manipulate her.
The original owner didn't eat well, couldn't keep up with nutrition, and her hair was a bit dry and yellow. It was not easy to comb, and she couldn't help it. Sister-in-law Gu had a pair of skillful hands, and she put up the bride's hair in a short time. The gentle hairstyle was given to Gu Xia.
Added a bit of softness.
Sister-in-law Gu knew that Gu Xia didn't have rouge and gouache. She brought it from home in advance, and it was still rouge red. It was just right for applying makeup to the bride.
This thing was in short supply, and she was reluctant to use it herself.
She usually takes on the job of combing the bride's hair and applying makeup to earn a little money.
Even with the poor harvest in the past two years, brides getting married in eight villages across ten miles are reluctant to spend their spare money.
It’s not easy to earn this small amount of money, and the rouge and gouache is also idle.
