Chapter 32 Hooking Up

Gu Shi'an sat at the table and ate.

The door panel sounded, his heart hopped, and the bowl on his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Who?" Gu Shi put down the bowl and stood behind the door without opening it.

"Ju Ren Gu, it's me, Liu Yan."

Gu Shian heard the woman's voice, breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

Liu Yan was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her hair was combed into a braid, and tied with a red cloth headband. She looked ordinary and had a similar outline to Liu Juan.

"You have something to ask me for?" Gu Shi'an was puzzled. Liu Yan was Liu Juan's cousin. They had never had any contact with each other and did not know her purpose.

Liu Yandong looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he pushed Gu Shi'an into the house.

Gu Shi'an frowned and looked unhappy.

Liu Yanhun didn't care. She looked around at Gu Shi'an's house, which was simple but neat. Looking at the food on the table, there was a bowl of braised pork, which she held in her hand and put in her mouth. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and suddenly she ate the meat so fragrant that she was about to chew and swallowed it. She simply served the table and stuffed pieces of meat into her mouth with big mouth.

Gu Shi'an's face turned pale, and he looked at her eating habits and was about to chase her out of breath.

Liu Yan swallowed all three or five pieces of meat, his mouth was covered in oil, and licked his lips, "Ju Ren Gu, your meat and vegetables are so delicious, I'll go to your house for dinner tomorrow."

Gu Shi'an couldn't bear it anymore and looked ugly, "You can leave now!"

Liu Yan giggled and said, "I haven't said anything yet!" He spread his hands and said, "I'm going to get married soon. I haven't got a dowry yet. Give me twenty taels of silver!"

Gu Shian saw that she was worried and had a bad premonition.

"You compensate Bai Wei for fifty taels and give Xie Yu another 100 taels. Why don't you give me twenty taels? Are you not afraid that I will tell Bai Wei that you should push her into the well and wait until she is almost drowning before you rescue him?" Liu Yan shook her braid and circled around him, "You have a bad reputation for killing people. You can't take the scientific test. I only want you twenty taels of silver, which is quite kind!"

Liu Yan poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Shi'an's head, and the anger that surged in her chest was completely wiped out.

Gu Shi'an stared at Liu Yan in a cold look, unpredictable change, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I picked up the divorce letter you wrote to Bai Wei. Bai Wei refused to divorce her. You want to keep your reputation and kill someone to silence you." Liu Yan held the handle in her hand, not afraid of Gu Shi'an at all.

Gu Shi'an felt like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was chilling.

He said with his teeth: "I'll give it!"

Liu Yan succeeded and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'll see it alone. Give me a hush fee and won't disclose it to others."

Where can Gu Shi'an get the money? Xie Yuzhuo's one hundred taels was given by Qiao Yaxin.

There are only ten or ten taels.

Liu Yan counted it, sixteen taels of silver!

Her face sank, "Gu Juren, what do you mean?"

"I'll give you the rest slowly." Seeing that Liu Yan's face was relaxed, Gu Shi'an said again: "Then the letter of divorce..."

"Remove the engagement letter? Please exchange it for fifty taels of silver!" Liu Yan put the silver in her pocket and was about to go home. She stood at the door and shouted to Gu Shi'an: "Your meat is so delicious. I'll give me a bowl tomorrow." Seeing Gu Shi'an's forehead bulging, she said, "I don't like Bai Wei, and I'm looking at you!"

Gu Shian's eyes were red with anger, looking at the mess of the table, and suddenly overturned the table.

Liu Yan heard a muffled sound of falling into pieces while holding the dishes, and curled her lips. She didn't dare to speak out before.

Now everyone in the neighbors are afraid that he will bring up old accounts, so she is not afraid. With this handle, she doesn’t have to worry about money.

When Liu Yan returned home, she saw Liu Juan standing at the door wrapped in a cotton jacket. Feng was cursing loudly, "You'll get rid of the useless things for ten taels of silver. You want to eat eggs! The starving bitch who is reincarnated from a starving ghost can't even hook a man. What's the use of you? Go and wash your clothes!"

Feng carried two buckets of dirty clothes at Liu Juan's feet and ordered her to wash at the river.

It's almost November, although the weather is still warm, it's cold in the morning and evening.

After a few days of having a baby, Liu Juan was driven out by Mrs. Zhao and returned to her parents' home to have a confinement period. But he knew that Feng saw that she had only ten taels of silver, so he turned his back on her and rubbed her to work.

"What are you doing when you are standing? I have to find a ox cart to pull you?" Feng Shi looked mean and twisted Liu Juan's ears, and she was so powerful that she wanted to pull her ears off.

Feng felt hatred and tried his best to send Liu Juan to Mr. Zhao's bed. Seeing that the goods were in his stomach, their family was about to turn over. Liu Juan was greedy for food and could not keep the children in her stomach. Mr. Zhao drove her out!

How much is a broken shoe worth?

"I'll sell you sooner or later!" Feng's eyes went to Liu Juan and turned around and entered the house.

Liu Juan's face turned pale and tears came out. She held back her grievance and carried the bucket to the river to wash clothes.

Liu Yan was jealous of Liu Juan climbing up to Mr. Zhao before, but now she felt very happy to see her being driven back in shame.

"Cousin, you must be self-aware. I see that your face is just a poor person, so why bother to do anything? Now that I have cheated you, I have not made any money. The Bai family buys land to build a house, and Bai Meng goes to the academy to study. You follow Bai Meng honestly, don't be too generous, at least you have meat every meal! It's better than if your aunt sells you. I don't know if you sell you to a widower in your seventies or eighties, or a blind and lame man."

Liu Yan gloated and said sarcastically: "Bai Meng is infatuated with you. You are so good at seducing men and hooking him into bed. Will his family dare not marry you?"

Liu Juan bit her lip tightly and Feng could do the business of selling her daughter.

She was afraid that she wanted to sell herself to blind and lame people, because those people were really not as good as Bai Meng.

If Bai Wei doesn’t make a fuss, Mr. Zhao won’t know that Liu Qi is gambling. He will take her into the Zhao family long ago. If the child cannot be saved, he will not drive her away!

After thinking about this, Liu Juan made up her mind.

——

Shen Yu is very efficient in his work. He has already seen a piece of land, surrounded by mountains and rivers, has good scenery and excellent feng shui.

Jiang locked Bai Li at home and followed Shen Yu to see the land, and was very fond of the land he chose.

I asked Li Zheng about the price. The land was connected to a barren mountain. If you want to buy the barren mountain, you have to buy it together, and you will get thirty taels of silver.

The barren mountains are full of stones, which are not worth anything at all, so I have to pay ten taels of silver.

Jiang was unsure of his mind, and Bai Meng would come back today. He would wait for the whole family to come and discuss before making a decision.

Bai Wei released the news and went home to take a shower.

My whole body is refreshed and my mood is much better.

Shen Yu sat in the main hall and watched Bai Wei dry clothes in the yard.

When she came in, she pushed a cloth bag towards her, "Diamond Knife."

Bai Wei quickly put down the basin and opened the cloth bag. There was a whole set of diamond knife heads inside. She was surprised and surprised, "You actually made a set for me. I'll give it to you for how much money."

"No need, just treat it as the food I gave." Shen Yu took the pack of diamond crumbs and handed it to Bai Wei, "This is diamond powder. I'll collect it. You can use it when you polish the diamond."

Bai Wei had to sigh that Chen Yu was meticulous and thoughtfully.

He refused to check in, so Bai Wei thought about carving a jade plaque for him, which would be considered a hard work.

She happily put away the diamond knife head, intending to use this set of tools to carve the imperial green to participate in the competition!

When Bai Meng came back, it was getting dark.

The whole family was on the table, but Bai Li refused to come out and had a hunger strike in the house, asking Jiang to let him go to the town.

Bai Wei sneered, "It's better to forget if he doesn't eat it. The food he saves is worse than feeding chickens. He can lay two eggs, which is better than him."

Jiang looked at the closed door worriedly, and Bai Meng said, "Mom, he is not young and can't be hungry."

Jiang sighed and said about the land, "You don't think it's worth it, let's pick another land."

Bai Wei and Shen Yu have been together for a while and know that he is very reliable in his work, he doesn't even think about it, "It's just that piece of land."

It’s good to buy it from the barren mountain, and it may be useful in the future.

Bai Meng has no objection.

Jiang smiled and said, "I'll buy the land in the liquor later."

"I'll go with you."

After dinner, Bai Wei asked Chen Yu and Jiang to go to Lizheng's house together.

When Liu Juan learned that Bai Meng had returned to the village, she happened to find the Bai family at this time and was separated from Bai Wei and the others.

She knocked nervously on the door of the Bai family courtyard.

Bai Meng was in Wenshu. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was the younger sister and the others who came back. He got up and opened the yard door. When he saw it was Liu Juan, he frowned. "What are you here to do?"

Liu Juan pinched the hem of her clothes, looked at Bai Meng's handsome face, and her face turned slightly red.

"Brother Bai, I have something to tell you. We will find a place where no one is...it won't waste your time."
