Chapter 82 The Vicious Stepmother of the Republic of China (Seventeen)
"Do you like the heroine Han Qiuyu very much?"
Gu Qingcheng doesn't care about "The Condor", she only cares about Huo Shui's attitude.
She is such a perceptive person, how could she not notice the difference between Huoshui's attitude towards herself and Han Qiuyu?
"Yeah, I don't like it either!"
Huoshui was a little uncomfortable with Gu Qingcheng's straightforward way of speaking.
It seemed to feel the aggressiveness of this suspected villain's executor, who had a super low character value.
"Oh, I understand, you like the so-called heroine?"
Gu Qingcheng asked urgently.
"Not even!"
Huoshui became even more uncomfortable.
The whole thing was twisted into a ball.
Okay, it admits that it deliberately mentioned Han Qiuyu just now, just to force a comparison.
It also showed a bit of schadenfreude that Gu Qingcheng could not charm all sentient beings like a Mary Sue heroine.
But it really wasn't that it was biased against Gu Qingcheng, it was actually the mistress' behavior of dragging the Li family into a lawsuit as soon as he came here, which frightened the trouble.
This is not something that in later generations, if you want to file a lawsuit, you just need to hire a lawyer, spend some money, and take some time.
In these troubled times, deliberately provoking a lawsuit may cause the other party's family to be ruined.
Disaster is by no means an alarmist statement, but there are many bloody examples right in front of us.
Why is there an ancient saying that “the prefect will be destroyed and the county magistrate will be destroyed”?
Aren't those corrupt officials too arrogant, exploiting the people, and even breaking their bones and sucking their marrow?
Gu Qingcheng wanted to sue Li Jiye as soon as he came up. Apparently he knew about the urinary nature of the yamen, so he——
Although Huoshui is a mentally retarded person, oh no, an intelligent assistant, he still has the basic three concepts.
It didn't quite agree with Gu Qingcheng's approach, so it deliberately paid more attention to the heroine, seizing the opportunity to stimulate and stimulate Gu Qingcheng.
Huoshui had no other idea, he just wanted Gu Qingcheng to be a good person and not run all the way towards the villain's path of no return.
Hearing the guilty conscience of a mentally retarded person from the mechanical sound, Gu Qingcheng did not continue to ask.
She replied calmly, "It's okay if you don't! Whether Han Qiuyu is the heroine or how she is doing now has nothing to do with me!"
So don't waste my time with her.
As for what kind of stimulation?
Haha, as a master who has become a winner in life in her previous life and is not even willing to experience rebirth, her psychology has already been strengthened to an extent that Han Shui could not imagine.
She won't have any mood swings because of someone!
Huoshui: ...Wow, this person is too keen and sharp.
No wonder he is engaged in government affairs, his aura is so powerful.
The troubled CPU whined and hurriedly ran to the corner, not daring to show up again.
As for Han Qiuyu, his executor didn't pay attention to it, so Huoshui could only watch silently.
He defeated Huoshui easily, but Gu Qingcheng didn't show any signs of it on his face.
She made an appointment with Mr. Bayer to go to the racecourse and said goodbye to him.
Gu Qingcheng took Li Yaozong's hand and walked around the campus of the University Hall.
The buildings in University Hall are not new, and are of a relatively traditional architectural style.
If he just looked at the campus, Gu Qingcheng really couldn't tell that it was a foreign school run by foreigners.
At least compared to the magnificent, gorgeous and exotic train station, this campus does not have much "foreign style".
After enduring the misfortune, it wanted to learn from Gu Qingcheng: Although this medical college was run by foreigners, the school's former site was indeed a school during the Manchu period.
Since it was built under the supervision of officials from the former Qing Dynasty, it is naturally a traditional architectural style.
However, having been shocked by Gu Qingcheng's momentum just now, Huoshui did not dare to speak casually again.
Well, it's not important knowledge anyway. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not.
Huoshui underestimated Gu Qingcheng. Even without its popular science, Gu Qingcheng saw the school motto, school history and other introductions in the teaching building.
As a result, Gu Qingcheng had a rough understanding of the origin of this university hall.
“This university is really good!”
After a general understanding, Gu Qingcheng made a decision in her mind.
She strolled out of the campus, and when she passed by the guard at the door, she stopped to say hello to the old man guarding the gate.
"Looking for a house?"
The old man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and he spoke in the local dialect.
Hearing the accent of this old man, Gu Qingcheng felt at ease: This is a local old man, he belongs to a low-income family, he may not have any wealth or power, but he knows a lot about what is going on nearby!
"Yes. I just came from the country. I saw how good the university was, so I wanted to rent a house nearby."
Gu Qingcheng smiled. She was wearing a veil, but her eyes were curved, showing a smile.
The old man's slightly cloudy eyes glanced at Gu Qingcheng's traditional and conservative clothes and the fat boy she was holding in her hand.
He works as an errand in the university hall and has some time.
I have seen many scenes where the first wife from the countryside finds herself in the city.
What a heartless man, haha, compared with those men who claim to be great talents and good teachers, their heart is nothing.
The old man is a gossip-loving person. Just looking at the appearance of Gu Qingcheng, an "orphan and a widowed mother," he has already imagined several bloody dramas.
Tsk tsk, are you running to the provincial capital to find your husband?
As a result, her husband didn't want to see her, but she wasn't willing to go back, so she wanted to stay and rent a house outside her husband's school and watch over him?
Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng didn't know what the old man was thinking, otherwise, he would have said "囧囧" in a thoughtful manner: Master, with your brain, it would be a pity not to go to the theater to write jokes for others.
Although he didn't know what was going on in the old man's heart, Gu Qingcheng still saw the strange look in his eyes.
She didn't think much about it, just thinking that when she was chatting with Mr. Bayer, the old man saw it.
Gu Qingcheng's guess was not wrong. The old man did see her chatting with Mr. Bayer.
But the old man had already imagined one after another of the Taoist dramas about bitch-blooded women. He did not think about how Gu Qingcheng could talk and laugh happily with a foreign devil.
The old man only thought that Gu Qingcheng was indeed a big-footed woman from the countryside. She was so courageous that she even dared to find those foreign devils when asking for directions and people.
"Uncle, I see that you are working as an errand in the university, and I think you know this area very well, so I would like to ask you to help me think about it and see if there are any suitable houses nearby."
Gu Qingcheng temporarily ignored the old man's strange expression and continued to speak with a smile.
"Oh, you asked the right person!"
The old man finished thinking about the bloody drama and turned his attention back.
He patted his thigh and said with a smile, "It just so happens that my family has a small courtyard for rent, which is in the alley opposite the university hall."
"But, my house is a detached house. It has three main rooms and a utility room. In total, it has four rooms."
"The price should be higher. I think you are an orphan and a widower, and your life is also difficult. I won't give you more than one ocean a month. Rent it for at least three months, and pay a deposit of two oceans."
After the old man finished speaking, he secretly looked at Gu Qingcheng's face.
He was afraid that if his price was too high, he would scare away this country woman who had just arrived in the city.
Although his yard is really nice, the rent of one ocean a month is quite a lot.
It is said that he works as a gatekeeper in the university hall and his salary is only two dollars a month.
Those coolies who pull rickshaws on the street may not be able to earn two yuan even if they work hard for a month.
"Uncle, can I go see the yard first?"
Gu Qingcheng was not in a hurry to negotiate the price, but wanted to see the house first.
If the yard is good, the price is not unacceptable.
"Yes! Of course!"
As soon as the old man heard that Gu Qingcheng was not a noble person, he felt that there was a way to do it.
He quickly spoke to the handyman on duty at the school gate and led Gu Qingcheng to the opposite side of the school.
The two big-headed soldiers were still squatting in the corner.
At this moment, he saw Gu Qingcheng coming out with an old man. He looked at each other in confusion at first, and then quickly stood up.
"Ms. Gu, what are you-" What are you doing?
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said to the two of them, "You two military masters, I think this place is good and I would like to rent a house nearby."
"It happened that this old man had an unused yard at his house, so he wanted to take a look."
Rent a house?
it's here?
The two big-headed soldiers exchanged glances with each other.
"Ms. Gu is quite decisive. She can decide things like renting a house easily."
"I guess she wants to live near the school. This medical college is run by foreigners. There are many foreigners around, so it should be safer."
"Hey, let's put it this way, this Ms. Gu is quite smart."
"It must be smart, otherwise our commander wouldn't be so interested."
The two top soldiers exchanged words silently, and then said nonchalantly, "Our brothers will accompany you."
After saying this, they looked at the old man again, "Old man, don't bully students!"
Don't think that Ms. Gu is a country girl who is easy to bully just because she comes from out of town and is dressed in old-fashioned clothes.
Ms. Gu did come from the countryside, but Commander Ma was still standing behind her.
Old man: ...You go out with a large number of soldiers? Haha, give me two courages, I don’t dare to cheat you.
However, he had no intention of tricking anyone, and even felt that Gu Qingcheng was pitiful for being an "orphan and a widowed mother".
The appearance of the two big-headed soldiers only turned the old man's "pity" into "awe".
"Don't worry! Don't worry, Master! Hehe, old man, I am an old man here, I won't mess around!"
The family property and relatives are all here. If you cheat someone and cause trouble, it wouldn't be embarrassing enough.
As the old man spoke, he led Gu Qingcheng and others to his small courtyard.
It's not far from the university hall, only about ten minutes' walk.
The small courtyard is a bit old, but the roof and windows are still neat.
The courtyard is fairly clean, and there are no weeds in the corners or in the cracks of the floor.
The three main rooms face north and south, making the house very bright.
The utility room should have been built later, just in the corner, and was used as a woodshed and a stove.
"We are not far from Baotu Spring and Daming Lake. There are springs underground. If you lift the floor tiles, spring water will come out!"
The old man introduced it very proudly.
Although he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or not from Gu Qingcheng's eyes, his yard was pretty good.
If you don't like this country woman, you either have no vision or no money!
