Chapter 159: A contract of betrayal
"I'll give in, I'll give in. It's my fault for blocking the way of my aunts and grandmothers. They really deserve a beating." He Sanshengzi hurriedly got out of the way and pretended to slap himself twice, but did not leave. He followed them and asked, "Auntie, have you all completed the property deeds and land deeds?"
"Don't ask questions knowingly." Gu Jinli stopped and turned to look at He Sanleizi behind him: "What on earth do you want to say? Say it quickly. If you keep stalling like this, I will let Brother Qin remove your arm again."
He Sanleizi trembled in fright: "No, if I take it off again, I won't be able to keep this arm."
His arm was also in trouble. It was removed twice by Qin Sanlang, and it was really useless if he tried it again.
He Sanleizi hesitated for a while, and when he saw that Gu Jinli was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, I see that your family is very busy every day and is very short of manpower. I want to come and ask you for a job."
He patted his skinny body and said, "You may not think I'm thin, but I'm in good health and can work very well. Just invite me to your family. I'm going to get married in a few days, and I need to have a job to support my family. The family still owes the clan five taels and five hundred cash. If there is no work, let alone supporting the family, the annual debt will not be paid."
Having to pay back one or two principal a year, plus one hundred cents in interest, is not a small amount for an idle person like him.
Moreover, Chun Yue did not allow him to hang out with Lu Laosan anymore, saying that he should live an upright life to avoid having children in the future and the children would be criticized by others.
After He San Leizi got a wife, he felt that it was not enough to hang around like this all the time, so he wanted to settle down and find a job, but it seemed that the only job that could take care of the family and make money was the Gu family's tofu. He was alive, so he came to beg Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli looked at He San Laizi and smiled: "You are a bastard, if I invite you and you tamper with our family's tofu, wouldn't our family suffer a loss?"
He San Laizi was anxious and said hurriedly: "Auntie, that was before. Now I won't be a gangster anymore. As long as your family invites me, I will work honestly and not make any mistakes."
"I believe you when you say it? Your reputation has been ruined a long time ago. Who knows whether what you say is true or false?" Gu Jinli still disagreed: "If our family hires people, it will be for those who are honest and responsible workers. It is impossible to hire A **** with a bad record."
He Sanleizi was desperate when he heard this. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly knelt down to Gu Jinli and said, "Auntie, please, please treat me. If I can't find a job, Chunyue will starve to death." of."
He has been going to see Chun Yue often these past two days, and he is becoming more and more fond of Chun Yue. For her, he would sacrifice half of his life to get this job.
Gu Jinli and the others ignored He San Leizi and returned home quickly.
After returning home, Gu Jinli put down the firewood, took a small cloth bag, went into the house where she and Gu Jinxiu were staying, took out the ten mountain mushrooms, wrapped them in linen, squeezed out the juice from the mountain mushrooms, and put them into a into a small bamboo tube, and then put a few drops of wine into the small bamboo tube.
Wine can stimulate the toxins in mountain mushrooms to the greatest extent.
After finishing all this, Gu Jinli wrapped the ball of linen cloth and the dregs of the mountain **** mushroom inside in hay, took them to the kitchen, stuffed them into the stove and burned them.
After burning, Gu Jinli saw that the water tank at home was almost out of water, so he picked up the bucket and said to Cui, "Mom, I'm going to fetch water."
"Go ahead and pick up half the bucket. Don't be greedy for more, or you'll fall." Cui explained.
"I know, Mom." Gu Jinli carried the bucket out of the yard, walked down for more than ten meters, and came to the old well. He was about to fill two buckets of water, and Qin Sanlang came.
Qin Sanlang did not hesitate and asked straight to the point: "Xiaoyu, what did you go into the mountains to pick today? What are you going to do?"
They were almost tricked yesterday. She went into the mountains today and picked some unknown mushrooms. There must be some connection between the two things.
He added: "I have no intention of stopping you, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you."
She is still young and a girl. Although she has some skills, she is not as good as him.
"If you want to do anything, you can tell me and I will help you." Qin Sanlang promised.
"You actually discovered it." Gu Jinli smiled: "In that case, come and help me tonight."
She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered her plan to Qin Sanlang.
After hearing what she said, Qin Sanlang's face turned red... This, this, how could she come up with such an idea?
