322 Chapter 322 compensation
The next morning, Gu Xin went to the old house after her morning exercise and waited for the siblings to return to the old house.
This time, there were three vegetables and three flowers, but no fruit.
Flowers were quite common, such as Cape Jasmine, Jasmine, and Phoenix fairy flowers that could be found in the mountains.
The vegetables were black fungus, beef skin, and beans.
They already knew that old Zhou’s seeds might not be from all over the world. They might even have local seeds, so Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian were not disappointed.
On the other hand, the Phoenix Fairy Flower reminded Gu Nian that she could also do nail polish on top of lipstick.
When she was young, she lived in a Daoist temple. That Daoist temple was on the mountain, and there was a village at the foot of the mountain. The little girls in the village loved to pick phoenix flowers, crush them, and paint their nails.
For example, their village had black fungus.
Therefore, he moved the flowers away and picked the beans, leaving four plots of land open and planting them.
Gu shouxin finished all these and after breakfast, he went to the old house to borrow some hunting tools, saying that he was going to hunt in the mountains.
Uncle Gu insisted on going with them.
Fourth uncle Gu also wanted to go, but he remembered that he still had a lot of work to do. He also had to follow the master to make a suit box for second sister-in-law, so he held back.
“Big brother, aren’t you afraid of meeting a big cat?” Gu shouxin looked at the enthusiastic uncle Gu and wanted to scare him with the big cat.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t I have you here? Besides, the big cats in the mountains, one male and one female, have been settled by you and Yuan. Even if there are still cats, they are small. If we encounter them, we can catch them and play around with them, and use them as guards!” Uncle Gu said indifferently.
“Alright, let’s go!” Gu shouxin was speechless.
He was probably the only person in history who had caught a big cat to guard their house!
Thus, the two brothers carried their bows and went up the mountain with their animal traps.
Not long after Gu shouxin left, manager Cheng of the drunken River House arrived in a carriage.
Shopkeeper Cheng stood in front of the Gu family’s new house and hesitated for a moment, but he still knocked on the door.
Gu Huilai opened the door. She recognized manager Cheng and asked with a frown, ” “Who are you looking for?”
“Lady Gu, I’m the manager of the drunken River Restaurant. I was the one who fetched wild boars from your house last time. I’m looking for your second uncle and second aunt, are they home?” Shopkeeper Cheng also recognized Gu Hui and said with a smile.
“Wait a moment!” Gu Hui slammed the door shut without hesitation.
She knew that the innkeeper of the drunken River Restaurant was a relative of the county Magistrate, Lord Cheng, and she really did not like the Cheng family.
“Shopkeeper Cheng is here? Well, you guys sit here first, I’ll take him to the old house to talk.” Cai Xiaolian said after some thought.
Gu shouxin was not at home. Although this era was more tolerant to women than the ancient times she knew, she still did not plan to talk to shopkeeper Cheng.
Cai Xiaolian untied her apron and went to the sink to wash her hands. She opened the door and said with a smile, ” “Shopkeeper Cheng, what’s the matter?”
“Lady Cai,” shopkeeper Cheng forced a smile,”I’ve come to discuss compensation with you at the request of the owner.”
Cai Xiaolian was stunned and said,”compensation?” What compensation?”
Ha, this was all done on the surface. He kicked his family away, and even pretended to use money to shut their mouths. What a hypocrite!
Shopkeeper Cheng shook his head and said helplessly,”Lady Cai, I’ve heard about the misunderstanding between you and the owner. It’s impossible to cooperate in this situation.” Everyone’s harmonious to make money! If the two sides can’t be on good terms, then it’s better to each take a step back.”
