Gu Loong was shocked. "That's you, Second Brother."

"It's precisely because he's me, Second Brother that I didn't report him." Gu Qingzi let out a deep sigh. This honest man was not good either. "Big brother, you haven't gotten married yet. You're raising Second Brother everyday like this. When will you be able to save up enough money to get married?"

She sincerely said, "Besides, Big Bro, you're not young anymore. Second Brother already has a child, so he's got a wife of 10 taels of silver. Does Big Bro even know how to earn this money? You can't keep Second Brother and his family. After you get married, do you still want to keep them? "

Gu Loong went silent.

"If Second Brother continues like this, when I get married, who will be his judge? Mom and dad are soft-hearted. You didn't even mention getting married, do you think we'll be able to live a good life from now on? " The more the conflict was tolerated, the more dangerous it would be when it erupted. When it reached a certain point, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the end, Gu Loong still obediently went back into the room and turned a deaf ear to Gu Wei's groans at the door.

The next day, Gu Wei still got up at home.

Gu Qingzi knew that Mother must have let Gu Wei in at night, so she didn't say anything. She had already become an evil person and that was it. Madame Gu didn't appreciate it and there was nothing she could do about it.

"The buckle - is anyone there?" The voice was very familiar.

"Who is it?" Madame Gu asked loudly.

"Mom, I'll go take a look." Gu Qingzi was learning from Madame Gu when she heard the voice. She walked quickly to the door and opened it to see a handsome man. "It's you?"

Shen Yi had a gentle smile on his face. He nodded and handed the sweet potato in his hand to Gu Qingzi, "Some things for the neighbors."

"Why?" Gu Qingzi, holding the sweet potato, didn't understand.

"We're all neighbors, you guys come over. I didn't send anything either. " Shen Yi said with a smile.

Gu Qingzi looked at Shen Yi, who was wearing a blue shirt. She felt that Shen Yi was becoming more and more handsome.

Hearing Shen Yi's words, she still thanked him politely.

Shen Yi looked at Gu Qingzi's face, which was like a hibiscus, and his heart suddenly pounded. He ran away in an attempt to cover it up and said, "I'm going back."

"Alright, see you at noon." Gu Qingzi smiled as she hugged the sweet potato with a smile like a flower.

Shen Yi glanced back and the corner of his mouth hooked up.

Gu Qingzi carried the sweet potato back to Madame Gu's room.

"Who is it?" Madame Gu asked while still wearing her needlework.

"The neighbor next door, the one I cook in, the one I go to every day, sent me some sweet potatoes. He said he was just strolling around next door." Gu Qingzi didn't say anything about the move, but that incident … The Gu family didn't want to be mentioned.

Madame Gu stopped and thought for a while. After a while, she said, "Then when you go at noon, send some of our dried vegetables over. There aren't any good things in the house. It's always interesting."

"I know." Gu Qingzi responded.

After a long time, Gu Qingzi finished lunch at home and took some dried vegetables to her Shen Family. Today, she planned to roast some meat with wild vegetables, eat plain rice, and taste the Soup Dumplings with wood ears.

Orchid Hall.

Shen Yi saw that there was no food at home. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingzi at the door. He asked with a smile, "Where did you get this wild vegetable?"

Gu Qingzi turned around and looked at Shen Yi, "Of course it belongs to my family. Treat them courteously."

Shen Yi smiled, picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food, it tasted good, "Delicious."

"As long as it's delicious." Gu Qingzi let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Honestly speaking, she was afraid that Shen Yi would say that it was inedible. From Shen Yi's actions, she felt that Shen Yi didn't seem like a person from the village.

Could it be that he was relegated here?

Forget it, this had nothing to do with her.

Moments later, Gu Qingzi cleaned up the dishes and started her daily firewood chopping.

Shen Yi stood on the side with his arms crossed as he watched.

Gu Qingzi took the axe and hacked the wood into two pieces, but it didn't cut properly. She reached out for the piece of wood to straighten it, but she didn't expect that the other side of the wooden stick would have so many barbs. Gu Qingzi didn't know that her hand had a long cut from the wooden stick, and a wound that was as long as her palm.

Even though it looked terrible and he was bleeding profusely, in reality, his skin was just injured.

"You're so careless while chopping firewood, are you a pig brain? I've never seen you so stupid and stupid. " Shen Yi couldn't help but say a few words to Gu Qingzi, "Stand still and don't move." Without waiting for Gu Qingzi to reply, he turned around and ran off.

Shen Yi brought the Gold Sore Medicine and a piece of cotton cloth. He looked at the wound on Gu Qingzi's white and tender hand and looked at her tenderly, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a small wound." Gu Qingzi was studying medicine. As long as she was able to recuperate from injuries that didn't affect her muscles and bones, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Shen Yi just treated it as Gu Qingzi forcefully holding on, skillfully wrapping up the good medicine on her hands.

Gu Qingzi inwardly praised Shen Yi and felt that his identity wasn't simple.

"You should rest at home for the next few days. Your hands are not allowed to get water." Shen Yi instructed.

"Alright." Gu Qingzi packed her things and left the Shen Family.

— — While the Gu family was on the right track, the Jia Family was still in chaos.

Lee Chunqiao looked at Jia Faang with tears in her eyes. "You really don't want to marry me with thirty taels of silver?"

"I'm not willing, our family just sent out 30 silver and even lost 10 silver. We really don't have that much money left." Jia Faang fooled Lee Chunqiao.

However, Lee Chunqiao was not someone who would give up so easily. Today, she specifically made Jia Faang come to the river just to threaten him.

"Jia Faang, if you don't offer me a betrothal gift of 30 silver, do you believe that I will jump down from here!?" Lee Chunqiao stood by the river and looked at Jia Faang, certain that he would compromise for this child.

"Lee Chunqiao, please stay as far away from me as possible. I still need to take the Imperial examinations. Many of you are willing to marry me. Many people are willing to give birth to this child." A woman was just for the purpose of giving birth. Marrying Lee Chunqiao would give him nothing other than a child, and marrying her as a wife was already a form of praise for her, but she would even need thirty silver as a betrothal gift. She wasn't as pretty as Gu Qingzi, so where did she get the face from?

"If I jump now, I'll die a corpse and two lives!" Lee Chunqiao did not expect Jia Faang to say such words.

"If you want to jump, then jump. If not, then I'll help you." As Jia Faang said this, he walked towards Lee Chunqiao and gave her a nudge.

Unexpectedly, Lee Chunqiao happened to be standing on some moss. She slipped and fell into the river.

"Jia Faang — Jia Faang — save me — I don't know how to water —" Lee Chunqiao moved up and down in the river.

No one knew how deep this river was. Jia Faang's entire body was stiff. He felt a chill in his heart as he looked at Chunqiao, who was gradually no longer swimming upwards.

He could only watch as Lee Chunqiao struggled and did not dare to go down. He did not know how to swim, so he could not save her.
