C240 His mind is not simple

His mind is not simple

Gu Xin waited patiently as Gu Baifu finished speaking, his brows never moving from beginning to end.

He did not care what Xiao Wanyin did, and he understood some of the underhanded methods in the backyard, and was even more disdainful of participating in it. That servant girl's skills were not right, it was a good thing for her to learn a lesson.

Gu Han didn't even need to think about it; he had already made up his mind in an instant.

He did not plan to care about this matter. He lifted his foot and continued to leave.

Gu Baifu going up to stop them was his own niece doing so. If something really happened, he and his brother and his wife would not be able to explain themselves.

If today's matter gets out, then there will be no chance of living anymore. Granny's family will despise her and might even break the engagement, and this is for her life ah. Young Master, you have shown mercy, and she has those restless thoughts, it really is time to rest.

He begged.

Gu Xin was about to throw him off his feet, but when he heard his words, he shifted his steps back.

"Let go, I'll go take a look."

"Huh?" Gu Baifu did not expect him to agree so quickly, and immediately let go of his hand. Seeing that Gu Xin had left, he hurriedly got up from the ground and chased after him.

Gu Xing walked out of the study, and looked at the two figures that had disappeared outside the door.

It was already the new year, and there were a lot of cleaning work in the house. He would also have to take off the blanket and wash it before doing anything else.

His clothes were washed again and again.

The Song Family was going to have a funeral this year, so they could only post two gatekeepers and not a couplet.

Even more so, pork could not be bought. The hens at home were all kept and the roosters kept to sell for money, so they couldn't move. In the past, they could only kill a chicken and cut two catties of meat into dumplings.

This year, all that was left was the dried radish stuffed with pickled vegetables.

All of this had to be done by the end of the year.

There were also a few that wanted to customize the tofu, so they planned to keep it for the new year in the first month of the new year.

Peach Blossom House closed for seven days during the new year. On the 28th day of the 28th month, he did not open his doors again until the 6th day of the first month.

Mian Niang still had to go to the city to calculate her debt on the 28th of December.

Ever since he had met Jiang Ting, Gu Xin, Mian Niang had started to get busy.

Song Li and Song Zhien were also busy.

The two of them could help as much as they wanted.

Mistress Cloud had rushed back with a cart full of goods specially prepared for the family. After two meals in the afternoon, her parents did not let them go back and insisted on having them stay for the night.

After asking her for her opinion, he knew that she was staying, so he didn't ask to leave. In one afternoon, he helped his father-in-law chop up a pile of firewood, which was enough for a full month's worth of work.

Mistress Cloud found a chance to come to the Song Family to look for Mian Niang. She first went to greet Madame Song and chatted with her for a while before pulling Mian Niang to the neighboring room. She touched the hot brick bed and looked at the furnishings.

The trace of Song Zhixiao's marriage had already been erased, and the existence of Mei Wu, was not only the tribulation of this family, but also the shame of this family.

Mistress Cloud nodded and said, "Not bad, at least you don't have to stay in that small house and hold it in."

The house that made tofu was humid, had a strong taste of beans and a small window. It was cold in winter and humid in summer, so it couldn't be considered a proper place to live.

Every time Mistress Yun came here, she would feel wronged and worried for Mian Niang. It was just that the Song Family really couldn't listen to a single word of theirs.

Mian Niang explained with a smile: "Living here is like taking Brother's house."

She could understand her mother's thoughts. She was living here and was slowly erasing any traces of Brother.

"So what if you don't live here? Brother Song still can't come back!" Don't you think your aunt can remember these things when she looks at this empty house every day? "

Even though she had seen Mian Niang's needle-like sharpness, when Mistress Yun saw her, she still couldn't help but want to say a few words. She would also always habitually protect Mian Niang in front of others.

"In the end, it's just to vent my anger."

Mian Niang shook his head, "How can this be considered venting your anger? You should know about all of those things as well."

"Why is it not to vent their anger? After all that has happened, don't they have no other choice but to blame all of their faults on you?" Isn't this just venting your anger? "

Her voice could not help but become louder and louder. Mian Niang hurriedly stopped her from speaking and changed the topic: "I see that you have something on, what exactly is it?"

"Right, right. I have matters to attend to."

Speaking of which, Mistress Yun couldn't help but lower her voice, as she pulled Mian Niang and whispered to him, "Did Mei Tiangui find it?"

Mian Niang was shocked, "Didn't he already —"

"That's right, he is dead. He was brought back from the mountain. His body was found out and he fell down the mountain. He directly fell to his death. His body was also bitten by wild beasts." There aren't many people in his house, and the two of them helped him buy a thin wooden coffin and buried it. "

When Mei Tiangui was brought back to the village, she had actually wanted to go take a look. He didn't know what had happened, and was worried that it would scare her, so she didn't let her go.

Only after someone was buried would he feel completely at ease.

He came back to find Mian Niang and specially explained this matter clearly so that Mian Niang wouldn't be worried.

But when he mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Her hands and feet were ice-cold, and only when Mian Niang held her hands did she feel a trace of warmth.

"I have never seen anything like this, I just stared at a living person who just died in front of me, I feel like I am also one of the killers, but I also feel like for people like Mei Tiangui, if he did not die, the one who was in trouble at that time would be us two."

If they were taken away by the traffickers, no matter where they sold it to, they would never have a good life in the future. This was not all. What would the two families do? Something was going to happen to her, and both her parents were going to go crazy.

However, the look in Mei Tiangui's eyes when he fell had always been in her dreams.

It had become her nightmare.

Killing intent filled the air. Every time she thought of that gaze, she would unconsciously touch her neck to confirm that she was really still alive.

She looked at Mian Niang and asked woodenly, "Why aren't you afraid, Mian Niang?

Mian Niang embraced her shoulder, and Mother Yun used this opportunity to rest her head on her shoulder, extending her hand to embrace Mian Niang's waist.

The familiar aura and warmth from the little sister's body allowed her to feel more and more at ease.

Mian Niang's gentle and gentle voice slowly dispersed her restlessness.

"It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that I can't. I don't dare to be afraid."

She looked at the shocked Mistress Yun, who could not stop herself, and spoke of how Gu Yue had pressed her down step by step, how Mei Tiangui had lightly insulted her, how the tofu leaf had a few lecherous thoughts about doing something bad, and how Mei Wu had people block her at the entrance of the alley.

If he was a bit timid, anything would have scared him out of his wits.

female mother, who had been raised in the countryside, had never seen or experienced such a scene before.

Which one of them didn't grow up under the protection of their parents and brothers, leading a peaceful and peaceful life?

In the past dozen years, Mian Niang had also lived the same life. The first time she saw Jiang Ting kill someone, she was no less afraid than Mistress Yun.

But at that time, if Jiang Ting didn't kill her, she would have to kill her entire family.

A confrontation of life and death, how can you tolerate the slightest bit of leniency and withdrawal.

"With our family's current state, it's impossible for me to cower."

But even so, she knew that she was lacking a lot. If she was in a stronger situation, she would have gone to the capital to sue and seek justice for herself, her brother, or even fight with the Mei Family to the death.

She couldn't, she had to take care of her handicapped mother and young brother, she had to be careful in everything. One step, three steps, or even further, no matter what she did, she had to not bring trouble to her family like before.

Her only retaliation to the Mei Family was to find someone to blow away the Mei Family, and let everyone in the Tongzhou know about it.

With just this one item, if not for Jiang Ting making a move, he might not have achieved the result he wanted.

She did not know how Jiang Ting had added fuel to the fire, but to have the people of the Mei Family leave the Tongzhou was indeed the best.

At the very least, he wouldn't have to fear the harassment from the Mei Family people and be able to live a peaceful life for the time being.

She told Mistress Yun about Jiang Ting's actions, from the time he was on the way to his death, when he was on the way to being blocked by the tofu leaf.

After he finished speaking, only then did Mian Niang realize that Jiang Ting had actually already helped him this much.

At the beginning, Mistress Yun was worried and sad for Mian Niang. After hearing what happened, she gradually understood what Mian Niang meant by this.

She straightened her body, looked at Mian Niang, and sneered:

"You said so much just to tell me what Jiang Ting is, he's not a bad guy, right?"

"Yeah." Now that he had been exposed, Mian Niang directly admitted it.

"You don't want me to be prejudiced against him? Or do you not want me to be afraid of him anymore? "

Mian Niang thought for a while, then said: "Both."

Mistress Cloud gave a light snort, "How is he doing? What does it have to do with me? It's fine as long as he doesn't harm you."

She flung her head and was about to leave, walked out the door, then turned back to explain: "I'm serious, Mian Niang, don't take my words to heart, just like what I said to you, I'm afraid because I've never experienced such a thing, and in the future, it'll be better if I slowly recover. As for him, even if he was truly afraid at that time, as long as he thinks that everything he has done was for you, I don't have anything to think about."

That matter was already in the past, and to her, that person was indeed the most important person as long as he was sincere towards Mian Niang.

Mian Niang's eyes grew hot at her words. "Mistress Cloud."

"Look at your moral character. Don't be like that, that won't be. We grew up together. No matter what, I know better than anyone else that I love you."

Mian Niang was tickled by her, she shook his head, not knowing what to say.

After sending her out, Mistress Cloud clung to the door and refused to leave.

Mian Niang looked at her doubtfully.

Mistress Cloud hesitated for a moment before closing the door and backing away.

"That Jiang Ting, is he really helping you just for the things he did in the past?"

"What do you mean?"

Mian Niang was puzzled.

"I have no other intentions. I just want to say, even if he wants to repay the debt, doing so much should be enough, and after doing so much, Mian Niang, why do I feel like he has other intentions?"

Hearing his words, Mian Niang only felt more and more confused: "What idea?"

"Just like Gu Xin." Mistress Cloud's words were shocking.

Mian Niang opened her eyes wide, and with a "pa da" sound, a piece of roof tile fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces.
