"Isn't brother going?" Xiao Zhuang took two steps, stopped timidly, and looked back at Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang shook his head and said, "My elder brother is an older child, how can he just ask for other people's things? Go in, your other elder brother is inside, he won't let you eat cakes!"

When Gu Ming was at home, he was good to this younger brother. When Xiao Zhuang heard that he was there, he walked cheerfully and rushed to the door impatiently, pushing the door with all his strength to squeeze in.

Gu Xiao and Gu Ming went up the mountain to chop wood early in the morning, and they hadn't come back yet. The yard was empty, the ground was swept clean, and the firewood was piled neatly against the wall. In the sky above the yard, the strong fragrance of cakes, mixed with a faint scent of medicine, wafts in the wind.

Xiao Zhuang sniffed the sweet and fragrant smell, came to the smoking kitchen, and looked inside timidly. An unfamiliar aunt, with the "dead girl" in his mother's mouth, was busy working on the stove. At this time, a pot of fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus cake was coming out of the pot, and the aroma of hot air fused together and filled the kitchen.

Aunt Yan noticed a pair of eager eyes and turned to look. A little boy was standing in front of the kitchen door biting his fingers, staring at the peanut candy on the chopping board with drooling eyes.

"Yo! Whose child is this?" Aunt Yan came to Xiao Zhuang, squatted down and looked at the filthy little boy, and asked softly.

Xiao Zhuang is a monkey in the door. He can go to heaven at home, and when he meets people he doesn't know, he will admit it. He looked at Aunt Yan with some fear, his mouth twitched, tears in his eyes, and he was about to cry.

Gu Ye came over, looked down at Xiao Zhuang, and asked, "Xiao Zhuang, who brought you here?"

Seeing Gu Ye, Xiao Zhuang seemed to see his relatives. He ran to Gu Ye's side at once, hid behind her, glanced at Aunt Yan cowardly, and whispered, "It's my brother who brought me here. I want to eat candy and cakes!"

Gu Ye knew that it was Da Zhuang who was at fault. I want to use Xiaozhuang's hand to eat her family's candy and pastries, doormen!

"Xiao Zhuang, a rude child can't eat sugar and pastries!" Gu Ye scooped up a basin of hot water, washed the dirty child's face and hands, and wiped it with a towel.

"Xiao Zhuang is polite!" After Gu Ye came out of the house, his face gradually grew, and he put on new and beautiful clothes, giving Xiao Zhuang a strange yet familiar feeling. The beast-like intuition told him that it would be no good to fight against the person in front of him. In order to be able to eat delicious sweets and cakes, Xiao Zhuang has never been more obedient and obedient.

"Then when you came in, did you call someone?" Gu Ye asked lightly.

Xiao Zhuang looked at his unfamiliar aunt, then at his sister, and shouted obediently, "Auntie, my sister is so hungry, I want to eat cakes!"

Aunt Yan noticed that this kid's eyes were rolling around like a monkey. She had long noticed the cuteness of this little guy, but it was just for the sake of sugar and cakes. She shook her head helplessly, this child will be taught badly by Liu Clan if no one corrects her again!

Gu Ye took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it on a wooden plate, stuffed it into Xiao Zhuang's hand, and said, "Just sit here and eat, there will be delicious red bean cake and pea yellow in a while!"

Xiao Zhuang couldn't wait to grab the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his little claws and stuff it into his mouth. It looked like she had never eaten anything in eight lifetimes, she was so choked that she rolled her eyes and couldn't bear to spit out the soft and sweet sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth. Gu Ye was afraid of his life, so he poured him a bowl of boiled water and told him to take two sips and rush down.

After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Gu Ye gave him another piece of peanut candy, which made him grind his teeth. Xiao Zhuang sat on the small stool and ate the fragrant and crispy peanut candy with all his heart, as if he could do everything with candy. I had long forgotten that there was an older brother waiting for him outside.

Master Gu and Xiao picked up the firewood and came back. Seeing that Xiao Zhuang was eating with sticky hands, he looked satisfied and asked in surprise, "Who brought this kid here?"

Gu Ye pouted in the direction of the gate and said, "Who else is there besides Da Zhuang? What? Didn't you see that kid at the door?"

"No," Gu Ming frowned. When he hadn't met his grandfather before, Da Zhuang bullied him and his younger sister a lot, and also brought Xiao Zhuang bad. He didn't like seeing that kid at all, "Maybe see us back and hide?"

When Xiao Zhuang was full of food and drink, and fell asleep on the small stool, Gu Ming carried the little guy back. When entering the yard, Gu Qiao, who had just returned from playing cards, greeted her son with a little surprise, but in exchange for Gu Ming's indifferent eyes. Thinking that he had cut off relations with his son for the sake of five taels of silver, a complicated feeling filled his heart, and he gave Liu Shi a fierce look.

Liu Shi came to the younger son's room, flipped through his son's empty pockets, and pouted: "It's really stingy, it's a big New Year's Eve, don't give it a red envelope, don't even bring back a piece of candy to Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang Zhuang even calls him brother! So much money, are you going to take it into the coffin when you die?"

"Shut up for me!" Gu Qiao was in a bad mood because she lost money, and when she heard Liu's nagging, she yelled, "Brother? Gu Ming and Gu Ye have already been sold by you, how can Xiao Zhuang still be? Do you have brothers and sisters? If it wasn't for your money, my son would have cut off the relationship with me and would see me like a stranger?"

"Going for the money, didn't you agree? How did I become the only one? I didn't know that the dead girl could have such good fortune. I worshipped a good master and learned a good skill to make money. Eyes, can you push the God of Wealth out?" Liu Shi's heart was not smooth, and he raised his voice to defend himself!

"Now that you see that people can make money, what have you been doing? You black-hearted mother-in-law almost starved people to death, and secretly threw people into the mountains where wolves are haunted. What's the use of being greedy now? That girl just If you throw silver into the water, you can't use a copper plate on you!"

The last time Gu Ye entered the city, he took four whole baskets of medicinal herbs, and at least he could sell them for one hundred taels of silver. If the two children were not adopted, all the money would be his! If he uses the money as the capital to open a shop, he will definitely make a lot of money with his experience in helping the owner manage the shop.

If you have the opportunity to open a shop and be a boss, who would guard this poor ravine and be a farmer who digs food in the soil? Regret is like an invisible hand, tightly grasping Gu Qiao's greedy heart. And he, put all the responsibility on Liu's body! Gu Qiao looked at Liu Shi's eyes, as if it had been drenched in venom, and wished she could rush to take a bite to relieve her hatred.

"What do I do? If you love her and care for her, you will let me rub her? That dead girl is a white-eyed wolf, and if she has milk, she is a mother. People climbed the fifth uncle's high branch, and they knew who your biological father was. Who?" Liu's tone was full of schadenfreude.

"If it wasn't for you who always whispered in my ear, saying that she was a loser, and that she was someone else's family in the end, and she had to pay a dowry, I could have divorced my children? A virtuous wife and husband will have few misfortunes! If I had married, It is the widow Wang of Qianliang Village, this family will not be what it is now!" Gu Qiao said bitterly.

When Liu Shi heard this, he crossed his hips and scolded: "Well, Gu Qiao, you still miss the little widow in Qianliang Village! Who thought that the widow's family had three children and had a heavy burden? Who thought she was thin? The thin and weak can't live again? Why didn't you take a fancy to me at first, but now you despise me for being gentle. How can you take all the benefits

You don't even think about it. Gu Qiao's shoulders can't stand up to your shoulders. If it wasn't for me, this family would be too poor to drink the northwest wind! Look at the men in other people's homes. After the winter, they fight and go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. Once they come down, they can sell dozens or hundreds of copper coins. "

Gu Qiao had the best face. Hearing Liu's belittling himself like this, an evil fire rose from the bottom of his heart. He picked up a pole with his hand and smashed it towards Liu Shi. Without being careful, Liu Shi was hit on the forehead by the pole, and immediately a large bruise appeared.

Liu Shi is the one who suffers, she touched the bag on her head, and pounced on Gu Qiao with an "Ow", without trimming her nails, she scratched at Gu Qiao's face: "Okay, Gu Qiao, I To have children for you, to be a cow and a horse, and to worry about this family. In exchange, you are beaten every now and then? I fought with you."

Gu Qiao usually does less work and is not as good as Liu Shi who is used to doing farm work, but after all, he is a man and has an advantage in physical strength. For a while, the two of you came and went, and they were evenly matched.

Xiao Zhuang, who was sleeping in the room, was woken up, and when he came out, his parents were beaten to death, and cried out in fright. For a while, the screams of the two people in the yard, the cries of the children, and the sound of objects falling into the yard when they were torn were intertwined.

Next door prepared the stove candy, and the couple, Gu Mo, who were about to sacrifice to the stove, heard the movement and looked at each other. Aunt Ninth smacked her lips and said, "What is the trouble with this big New Year's Eve? Do you want to go over there and take a look, don't play it anyway!"

Gu Mo sighed and said, "These two are getting more and more outrageous."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Da Zhuang's changed tone of crying: "Mother! Don't die! Come on, my father beat my mother to death! Help!"

When Gu Mo heard the words, he pulled his legs and ran to the next door. In the yard, Gu Qiao stood there dumbfounded, as if scratched by a chicken, with blood stains all over his face. Liu Shi lay motionless on the ground, blood all over his face.

"What's going on?" Seeing that there was so much blood on the ground, Aunt Jiu stopped at a loss.

"She was the one who bit me first, I didn't mean it" Gu Qiao stood there stupidly, murmuring to herself.

It turned out that Liu's physical strength was not as good as Gu Qiao's, and he didn't want to suffer, so he took a bite out of Gu Qiao's hand. Gu Qiao was in pain and pushed hard, pushing the person out. His head hit the stone protruding from the wall, and a blood hole was immediately knocked out. Liu Shi also fainted.
