Chapter 314: Marrying the Mountain God 36
Led by the people from Taohua Village, several constables with big swords on their waists entered the Gu family's yard. The sounds of fighting inside gradually stopped with the loud and cold shouts of the constables.
Lian Yunshen then brought Gu Li back to the Gu family yard.
The constable held the sword at his waist with one hand and took out the chains holding the prisoner with the other hand. He stood in the center of the crowd, looking very majestic.
The third uncle handed the document to the constable, and soon Gu Jiande, who was unable to get out of bed, was carried from the bed to the yard by the constable.
From the east room, which had been silent for a while, Fang's crying and shouting finally came.
With both witnesses and evidence in hand, the constable announced on the spot that all the items belonged to Taohua Village.
The scene became noisy again. The constable patted his sword and said coldly, "Let's see who dares to do it again? Anyone who dares to obstruct public affairs, come back with me and taste the tea in the cell first."
The common people have great awe for the government, and once the official speaks, no matter how big their resentment is, they have to hold it in.
Uncle San was very thorough. He pointed at the game on the ground and said, "We had no choice but to fight you. This is our Taohua Village's private compensation for the injured. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong next time you help the villagers!"
Mrs. Gu sat on the emptied ground and cried. Fang came out of the house with a big belly, holding on to the wall, cursing as she walked.
The person he kept cursing was the ungrateful bastard Gu Li.
Lian Yunshen frowned as he listened. He had never heard anyone speak so vulgarly. It was like spitting feces from his mouth.
He wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Gu Li. Finally, it was her turn.
Gu Li pointed at the big, fat tiger on the ground and said to her uncle, "My second uncle's family eats too well. My second aunt, who can't get out of bed, is really good at scolding people. Uncle, there's no need to leave too much food for them. I think this big tiger is good. Let's take it back ourselves!"
Fang stopped crying, fell to the ground, and then slapped her legs and sobbed.
Gu Jiande didn't bother to pretend to be sick, he got up and went to help Fang. Gu Jiazu stood under the eaves and stared at Gu Li with a poisonous look.
Gu Li glanced at her coldly, walked to Grandma Gu, bent down to help her, but was pushed away by Grandma Gu.
Gu Li stopped supporting him, "Grandma, take this opportunity to bring more things back, otherwise you won't end up with nothing!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back to Lian Yunshen.
Old Madam Gu knew what kind of life Gu Li lived under Fang's rule, but she never said a word for Gu Li, and deliberately distanced herself from the second branch because she disliked them.
She didn't have much affection for anyone in the Gu family.
She was willing to remind her because it was the old lady who helped her escape from Gu Jiande.
The old lady wiped her tears and got up from the ground. She immediately asked her third daughter-in-law to start moving the deer on the ground. She also picked up a heavy old gold hairpin.
When Third Uncle saw that it was Gu Li's grandmother who took the things, he turned a blind eye and tacitly agreed. However, there was no more left.
The people of Taohua Village carefully carried precious medicinal herbs and countless gold, silver and jade artifacts and quickly ran out of Qingxi Village.
They looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
Get rich, get rich!
Third Uncle and several constables walked at the end to support the team until they were almost at the entrance of Taohua Village. Third Uncle then stuffed a heavy gold hairpin into each of the constables' pockets.
Wow, if converted into silver, it would be enough for their salary for five years.
Third Uncle also said that this was the hard-earned money for their help, and that they would be needed to escort the villagers into the city to sell the herbs later, and they would receive additional silver as a thank you.
Several constables also smiled and agreed.
Gu Li listened to the noise behind him and asked Lian Yunshen in a low voice, "Did you call the constable here? Did you know in advance that we would go to Gu's house to move things today?"
Gu Li tilted her head, and curiosity made her bright facial features move slightly. He just wanted to reach out and rub her little head.
How could he have foreseen that the mountain god would come to propose marriage this morning? "I was just thinking that Tang Lan'er had such a big incident last night, the police will definitely come to the village today to inquire about the details. Also, the village chief, as the father of Shitou and Zhu, will definitely be summoned to the government office to record his statement, and the police will definitely come to the village. This fight must be resolved by them!"
"When did you arrange it?" How could she not know? Hasn't this person always been with her?
"When you went back to your room to change your clothes, I told mother to wait at the entrance of the village for the constable to enter!"
Gu Li covered it with her sleeves and gave Lian Yunshen a thumbs up, "Great!"
The third uncle moved all the things into the ancestral hall, offered sacrifices to the ancestors first, then told the villagers what these things could be used for in exchange for silver, and then began to arrange for people to escort them into the city.
Third Uncle knew that these things were all thanks to Gu Li, so he very kindly asked Gu Li to pick a few to keep for herself.
Gu Li thought about it, picked up a ginseng that looked good from the herbs, and asked Uncle San, "Can I give this to the village chief alone?"
Third Uncle seemed to have not expected her to do this. The village chief did not show up all day.
Gu Li said: "The village chief has always been very kind to me, and the village chief's family----"
Gu Li wanted to say that she had suffered an unexpected disaster, but suddenly she thought of Zhuzi who liked to trick children into giving them to Tang Lan'er to eat, and she was unable to say it.
Forget it, just take care of yourself.
In the end, Gu Li only took a ginseng with long whiskers and returned to Lian Yunshen. This thing is hard to come by, and keeping it may save your life in the future.
"No more?"
Gu Li shook her head, "Enough, enough!"
The Third Uncle was very satisfied with Gu Li's performance, nodded, and asked people to take all these things away. In the end, the Third Uncle kept a Ganoderma lucidum that was not very eye-catching and quietly sent it to the village chief's house.
The village chief's wife was paralyzed in bed and needed someone to take care of her. The village chief was at home. The third uncle gave the things to the village chief and told him that it was Gu Li's idea, asking him to go to the city's pharmacy to exchange money and find a better doctor for his wife.
The village chief shed tears of gratitude and said on the spot that he was willing to give up the position of village chief to the third uncle. The third uncle declined twice, but he stopped refusing.
Gu Li didn't know any of this, nor did she care.
Lian Yunshen wrapped the ginseng in his outer robe and walked home with Gu Li. "Xiao Li'er, I will work harder and strive to let you live a good life without worries about food and clothing as soon as possible."
Gu Li put her cold hands into his warm hands, absorbing his warmth, "Well, let's work together."
His cheeks felt hot from his wife's active intimate behavior, but he still subconsciously held her hand. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. "Give me your other hand too. I'll warm it up for you! Why are your hands so cold? Are you wearing too little?"
Gu Li has already put on her thickest cotton-padded jacket. The cold she suffered from years of exposure to the cold has left her hands and feet cold as soon as winter comes. No matter how many clothes she wears, it is of no use.
But it doesn’t matter, if you take good care of it in the future, you can still restore it.
She smiled with her eyes curved, "It's okay, Mom must have cooked something delicious waiting for us at home. I won't be cold after having a bowl of hot soup!"
