Chapter 33 Gossip Time

The villagers of Gujia Village later said that this day was a magical one. Overnight, both Village Chief Gu and his wife died, and the old Gu Tou, who was always as strong as a cow, also fell ill.

This is very strange to say. When a person who is usually as strong as usual gets sick, the illness comes and goes like a mountain. Lao Gutou stayed in bed all winter, and waited until spring

It gradually got better as the weather got warmer. But everyone could tell at a glance that he was getting old.

He is no longer as strong as a young man just by looking at his back. He is completely old. Just like other elderly people in the village, he has lost his energy and is completely old.

But such an old man quietly went to the mourning hall on the night of the burial of Village Chief Gu and his wife, cut off all of Alan's gray hair, wrapped it around his chest like a treasure, and then slipped back quietly without anyone noticing.

In addition to Changsheng who had been following him, and Boss Gu who was guarding the mourning hall, the new village chief saw it.

Changsheng watched his grandfather walk into the mourning hall as if there was no one there, bent down and cut off Granny Alan's hair with a knife. Village Chief Gu, who was kneeling in front of the coffin, acted as if he hadn't seen him, and just quietly added yellow paper to the brazier. Changsheng thought that

Is there something wrong with my eyes? Later I slowly figured out that this was actually what Boss Gu secretly agreed to.

Alas, why are the feelings between these adults so complicated? It was Boss Gu who broke up Grandpa and Granny Alan, but now he is the one who silently allows Grandpa to cut off Granny Alan's hair. It's so complicated. Changsheng

I can't even understand it.

Fortunately, I was very busy when I was helping to take care of my grandpa, so Changsheng didn't have time to think about this matter in detail.

I don’t know if this incident has had a great impact on Lao Gutou. Lao Gutou, who was already eccentric, is now even more eccentric. He gets angry at every turn. Even Gu Xiaomei, who has always taken care of him, is sometimes so angry that she quits.

Of course, she will come back soon. After all, she is very close to old Gu Tou. At this time, the only one who can take care of him regardless of gossip is Gu Xiaomei. But Gu Xiaomei’s children, grandchildren and wives sometimes

She was a little bit embarrassed, because Gu Xiaomei always stayed at the old Gutou's house and had no time to care about her own family affairs.

But Gu Xiaomei's children said nothing, and even often sent rice, flour, grain and oil to Lao Gutou's home. They seemed to respect their uncle very much. But the tangled look they occasionally showed was really strange. But they didn't say, Changsheng

It's not good to ask so carelessly, I can only pretend that I didn't see anything.

The other person who can ignore Lao Gutou's bad temper is Chang Sheng. She reacts more slowly. Sometimes Lao Gutou scolds her for a few words as if it's a joke, but she can't react. She just keeps going on.

Taking care of old Gutou, Gu Xiaomei felt relieved.

"You have been an old stubborn man all your life. Fortunately, it is different from you to have a granddaughter when you are old. I think Changsheng is really filial, and you have done something right."

On this day, Gu Xiaomei was collecting shoe soles by the fire pit while talking nonchalantly to Old Gutou. Changsheng sat at the foot of the bed and kneaded Old Gutou's disabled leg. This leg had been seriously injured and every rainy weather

The pain was unbearable, and Lao Gutou had always endured it, but Changsheng was very discerning in this regard. He could easily see through Lao Gutou's various disguises, and then he kneaded and massaged him painstakingly.

After being embarrassed at the beginning, Lao Gutou gradually got used to it. After all, he had no self-abuse mentality and could make himself feel better. There was no need to make himself like an ascetic.

Listening to his little sister's nagging, Lao Gu curled his lips and glanced at Chang Sheng, whose tired forehead was dripping with beads of sweat. In the end, he held back and said nothing. He was not a ungrateful person.

, he could see clearly how Changsheng and Gu Xiaomei treated him, so why bother to say more?

It's such a pleasant life to live like this.

Lao Gutou felt that even if he died now, he would have no regrets. However, he did not dare to say this, otherwise, his little sister would probably talk about him to death.

But Gu Xiaomei, thinking of those fields now, didn't forget to give her a warning.

"You have to remember to find someone to plow the fields that brother assigned you in a few days. Otherwise, how could those people take the initiative to let them go?"

"Which people?"

"It's just the boss and the others. This is not what I, as an aunt, should say originally, but it's better to be clear about matters involving the ancestral land, otherwise, this will be another lawsuit in the future."

Lao Gutou thought lazily, then looked at Changsheng who was pressing hard at his feet, and nodded.

"The land deeds are all in my hands now and they can't turn them over."

"I know you have an idea. Anyway, you have to take action when spring comes. Changsheng is still counting on you to buy her a generous dowry! By the way, let me tell you, if anyone follows me these days

When you talk about child adoptive husbands, don’t agree to it. Everyone knows what those bad-hearted people think, they just want to take advantage. I think you should teach Chang Sheng more tricks to avoid getting married in the future.

Bully……"

"What's wrong with you? I remember that you didn't really want to live forever and learn martial arts?"

Old Gutou felt something was a little strange, so he took the initiative to ask, and unexpectedly opened up Gu Xiaomei's chat box.

"I'm not afraid. You know, second brother, don't we have a pair of old uncles and aunts in our village? A few years ago, our only son died of a serious illness, leaving only a very sick little girl. The whole family took care of her like a pair of eyeballs.

Yes, I was afraid that the child would not grow up. In order to avoid being bullied by her husband and mother-in-law in the future, I took advantage of the calamity year to hire a child adopter. The child adopter was really sweet and talkative. I had never noticed that child before.

To be so cruel. I heard it with my own ears. On the day the little girl gave birth to her baby, the foster husband told the midwife to protect the baby but not the baby! If the little girl hadn't been lucky, she would have been dead by now.

Okay. Doesn’t all the money that the family earns belong to the child supporter? Tsk tsk, you didn’t see that scene, it was very chaotic. My old uncle and aunt are notoriously amiable people. Waiting for her granddaughter

Take a breather and file a complaint directly with the official!"

"Hey! This is really rare."

Lao Gutou is very interested in these things. Don't look at those big dramas where people often sue the government. In fact, ordinary people are afraid of the government. After all, the word "official" has two words. How can you not shed a layer of skin once you enter?

Maybe you can get out?

That old couple dared to go to the Yamen for their granddaughter. It was really rare.

However, Lao Gutou still wanted to know what happened next. Seeing that there were only two people around, Xiaomei and Changsheng, neither of whom were outsiders, he coughed lightly and motioned for Gu Xiaomei to continue.

Ahem, are any of your friends watching? The poor author of stand-alone code words is here haha——
