Ugly Peasant Wife: Money Grubber

At this time, Madame Zhao looked around and said, "I say, brat, your house is too dilapidated. You must repair it before the event. Otherwise you won't be able to hire craftsmen in the winter. "

Yang Xinyu thought about fixing the house for the winter, but she didn't know that she couldn't find any craftsmen in the winter. She asked immediately, "Aunt Zhao, who should I find to fix the house?"

Hee Zijun was young, and was oppressed by the Madame Hee-zhou since young. He rarely interacted with the villagers, and only knew the people around the old residence.

There were close to forty families in Mountain Village, the others that he had heard of were all unfamiliar.

With someone as eccentric as the Doctor Zhu, Hee Zijun was even less familiar with him.

Therefore, he couldn't help much with this matter, so he could only listen attentively.

In the end, Madame Zhao was still quite old, so she reported two names in one go, "A bricklayer from the Liu Family Village has pretty good craftsmanship, and our village's Xu Daniu is a carpenter."

Hearing this, Hee Zijun heavily put down his chopsticks and said, "Anybody is fine, just Xu Daniu is not okay!"

Very soon, he noticed her impoliteness, and said with a flushed face, "Xu Daniu, he … His character is bad. "

"Why is my character so bad?" Yang Xinyu asked curiously.

Madame Wang shook her head and sighed, "Xu Daniu has a wicked wife called Madame Hu, she bullies the eldest son of the Xu Family all day, Xu Lengzhi, and does not treat him as a human."

When she said that, Yang Xinyu's gaze swept across Hee Zijun's stubborn face and understood why he was angry.

"The Madame Hu exploited Xu Lengzhi, but gave all the good stuff to two boys. Xu Daniu clearly knows what the Madame Hu did, and she coldly watched from the sidelines, allowing the Madame Hu to bully Xu Lengzhi."

In other words, the vicious Queen Mother bullies a child without a mother's love? It sounds like a cliché, and there are too many examples in reality.

"Younger Brother, you know Xu Lengzhi?" Yang Xinyu asked.

Hee Zijun secretly placed his fists on the table, and said gloomily, "Yeah, he helped me before."

Yang Xinyu reached his hand out and grabbed her hand, and laughed: "Alright, I won't look for Xu Daniu, Aunt think about it, is there anyone else?"

"There are only two people I know, but you can look for Old Man Gu. He knows a lot of people." Aunt Zhao gave her another suggestion.

Speaking of Ephor Gu, Yang Xinyu remembered clearly that she had gone to the Gu household in the morning to buy land.

It had all been fine originally, but he had been screwed up by the Madame Hee-zhou. The most important thing was that he even injured Hee Zijun.

No matter what she said this time, Yang Xinyu did not plan on letting Madame Hee-zhou go.

Madame Hee-zhou hurt Hee Zijun today so he had to pay the price for what she did.

Didn't she like money? She was going to pay for the medicine with just one tael of silver. She was not allowed to lose even a single coin!

After sending Zhao Family and her family off, Yang Xinyu carried her basket back to Ephor Gu's house. This time she did not bring Hee Zijun along, and told him to stay home to recuperate.

As for this trip, not only did Ephor Gu have to help with the treatment of the Madame Hee-zhou, she also wanted to ask about the purchase of the fields and the repair of the house.

Yang Xinyu knocked on the Gu family's gate. Ephor Gu knew what she was going to say the moment he saw her.

"Girl, I heard from my neighbor that Madame Zhou hurt your Younger Brother, are you going to settle the score with him?"

It was not that he liked to find out about the strengths and weaknesses of Hee Family, it was just that the Madame Zhou made such a big fuss that the entire matter spread throughout the Mountain Village.

Naturally, it would spread all the way to his ears.

Yang Xinyu nodded again, then shook her head again, "I want to settle the score with her, but I have other urgent matters to discuss with Ephor Gu."

When the Ephor Gu heard her call him Senior Li once again, she felt that she was missing something, so she asked, "Young Girl Yang, why didn't you call me grandpa this time?"

"I... I was the one who made a fool of myself last time, Ephor Gu, don't joke with me. " Yang Xinyu's face immediately flushed red, she did not know if this could be considered the original owner's strength, or a weakness.

She knew she didn't want to be seen blushing.

Ephor Gu said in all seriousness, "Who's laughing at you? You only come back three or four times a year, so hearing you call me grandpa is already rather pleasing to my ears. "

Yang Xinyu could see that the Ephor Gu's words were from the bottom of her heart, and she hesitated, "But, I'm afraid that I will ruin Brother Gu's reputation."

"That brat never returned to Mountain Village to look at me. I don't care what his reputation is like, just listen to my old man and call me grandpa."

In the end, Gu Jingzhou was the leader of a Li, so if she were to call him grandfather in front of him, it would only incite discussions from the villagers.

Moreover, if Madame Hee-zhou were to find trouble with her again in the future, wouldn't Zhao Li help her out?

Firstly, Yang Xinyu did not want to ruin Ephor Gu's reputation, and secondly, when she does not want to deal with Madame Hee-zhou, Madame Hee-zhou would use this as a threat and say, "Then that's good, I will still call you Ephor Gu in front of everyone, when there is no one else, I will call you Grandpa Gu."

When Ephor Gu heard this, his face was filled with smiles, "I just like you, little girl. Your brain is working really fast, let's go, Grandpa Gu will bring you to find Madame Zhou for revenge!"

"Grandpa Gu, have you forgotten that I said I have urgent matters to discuss with you?" Yang Xinyu hurriedly said, afraid that the Ephor Gu would rush out of the door like this.

Ephor Gu suddenly smacked his head and laughed, "Look at me, I have forgotten the words I just said, quickly tell me what is the urgent matter?"

After getting along with him a few times, Yang Xinyu was able to see that Ephor Gu was someone who would not take advantage of others, and she might be able to kill him if she tried to curry favor with him.

The Madame Hee-zhou was a classic example of this.

Since Yang Xinyu was asking for help, she softened her voice and said, "Grandpa Gu, I actually have two requests."

Ephor Gu felt that her voice was like cotton, sounded even more comfortable, and said immediately, "Just say it, as long as it's something I can help with, I will definitely help you."

Yang Xinyu then explained to the other old man, "One is the place I want to buy, it's the wasteland near my home."

The Ephor Gu looked very surprised, "That wasteland must have ten acres, and its soil quality is not good, what are you going to buy it for?"

Yang Xinyu laughed and said, "I would like to improve the quality of the soil in the wasteland and use it as a fruit tree, as well as some fruits and vegetables that I usually eat at home."

Ephor Gu remembered that Yang Xinyu went to the county to sell something called jam.

Since she herself said that she would be able to improve the soil quality of the wasteland, he had nothing to say, so he said, "Then what about a request?"

Yang Xinyu said word by word, "The other thing is that I want to fix that broken little house of mine for the winter, but I don't know any craftsmen, so I want to ask Grandpa Gu to help me get it done."

Ephor Gu laughed as he shook his head, thinking that this girl was really too estranged from him. "What the hell do I think is going on? Buying land is something I can buy, it can't be considered that I'm helping you. As for hiring people to help you repair your house, it's not a difficult matter, just leave it to me. "
