Chapter 83 The Little Patriarch Who Buys Property (1)
The so-called "ghost marriage" is naturally a plan made by Gui Wu, in order to avoid future troubles. In this way, the Li family will be taken away by the passengers of the boat.
In fact, Li Taoer was taken to the boat by Wang Er. He was not the fiancée of the passenger's son who died, but instead took over the household registration of the passenger's daughter. Then Gui Wu came forward and signed an "adoption" document with the passenger and passed by the yamen.
Li Taoer's household registration was directly under Gui Wu's name, becoming Gui Wu's adopted daughter, but he was directly taken to the Jiang family.
Of course, before that, Gui Wu told Mrs. Jiang about Li Taoer and entrusted Li Taoer to Mrs. Jiang.
Before Mrs. Jiang saw someone, she was wondering if her daughter and son-in-law had other plans and bought someone to "borrow a child". There are actually two types of "adopted daughters" among the people, one is to really adopt a daughter, and the other is to raise a maid.
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants are the greatest." Not to mention that after the accident more than ten years ago, the Gui family was a weak man, and the five uncles and uncles of Guiwu and his descendants were cut off. It was reasonable for the old couple to look forward to the Guiwu branch to spread.
When he saw Li Tao's childhood, Mrs. Jiang knew that she had misunderstood. She had never seen such a dark girl again. She looked thin and small and said she was twelve years old and was not as old as a ten-year-old child. Gui Wu said that this girl was the same as Chongyang and asked Mrs. Jiang to be her granddaughter.
Mrs. Jiang gave birth to four daughters and raised Gui Wu halfway, but she had never taken care of her grandchildren, and she was also a bit novel. She only said that she was a distant nephew and granddaughter. Her parents died and her household registration was in the name of her fourth daughter. She was really treated like a granddaughter.
Mr. Jiang complained a lot, but when he saw that his wife was in high spirits, he also agreed.
The identity has changed, and the name Li Taoer is no longer available. Mrs. Jiang gave Li Taoer a new name, Sister Jiang Ping, hoping that her life will be safe and smooth in the future.
I don’t know whether it was because of the name or because of Mrs. Jiang’s kindness, which influenced Sister Jiang Ping. With the name Kai, Sister Jiang Ping restrained her previous guards and gloom, and her temperament became increasingly brighter.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
I only talked about Gui Chongyang, and finally I felt relieved to accomplish this big thing.
Whether it is the Hong family or the "ghost marriage", if it weren't for the intervention of the Gui family's uncle and nephew, it might have been the experience that Li Taoer faced.
Now that Li Taoer has become Sister Jiang Ping, the tragic consequences of Li Taoer are solved from the root.
Li Facai thought he had secretly "selled his niece" and was not known for his concealment. But in fact, not long after Li Taoer was taken away, there was a spread in Mujia Village that Li Facai sold Li Taoer to "demis marriage" for twenty taels of silver.
When the villagers heard this, they kept their distance from the Li family. Even if they sold Li Taoer to a private kiln, everyone could only say that they were greedy for money, but what is the difference between selling it as a "ghost marriage" and killing Li Taoer directly?
Even if I raise a dog, I have been in love for more than ten years. The ruthless heart of the Li family scared the villagers of Mujia Village.
The members of the Li family were even talking behind their backs.
Li Taoer's bloodline is suspicious, but Old Lady Li talks to Qian, and the so-called "adulterator" doesn't even have a shadow. In addition, Old Lady Li has never been strict with her words, but she can "hide" secrets for more than ten years. If you think about it carefully, it's all doubtful.
Thinking about it now, it was obvious that the Li family wanted to sell their niece successfully, so they made such statements; otherwise, according to the speculation of the villagers, Li Taoer was Du Lizheng's illegitimate daughter, so how could she let Li Facai sell her marriage?
Because of Li Facai selling his niece, Li Facai's reputation became a little worse. On the contrary, Du Lizheng had become an "adulterator" inexplicably before, but now he has inexplicably washed away his stigma. From the beginning to the end, Du Lizheng didn't know about this.
The Li family received twenty taels of silver, but did not successfully make a marriage for Changsun as Old Lady Li thought. The girl's family in Wuhuozhuang who had been favored before heard about the Li family selling her niece, and immediately ordered someone else's house for the girl. Even though the Li family originally intended to give the bride price of eight taels of silver, no one dared to tell the girl to their family.
Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she didn't reflect on her own shortcomings. She just felt that Mrs. Song was not dedicated to it. She forced her to take back a little rooster mentioned to the Song family, which made Mrs. Song both angry. She said that she could not be a matchmaker for the Li family and asked the Li family to invite Gao Ming.
Old Mrs. Li didn't take it seriously. If you can't talk about a good girl with eight taels of silver, then you can't get a good girl. If you have silver, you are afraid of not getting married. If you have good food, you are not afraid of being late.
Not to mention the various discomforts of the Li family, the house in the Gui family’s old house was finally completed after a month and a half of construction. Now, we are waiting to dry inside and outside and then we can enter the furniture.
Because the carpentry work I used before was good, Gui Chongyang did not bother the second owners, so he asked to buy a cart of pine wood to come to his house. In addition to the new furniture needed for the Gui family's old house, the remaining wood was just enough to prepare Mei Duo's dowry.
As for the same furniture, dowry furniture should be more refined and carved, so prepare in advance with more calmness.
It is already mid-July now, and it is only half a year before the plum blossoms and the hairpin.
Mei wanted to give silver to Gui Chongyang, but Gui Chongyang refused to accept it and had a "divided up" with Mei. Mei was responsible for Mei Duo's dowry clothes and quilts, and he was responsible for this set of furniture himself.
Mei knew that Gui Chongyang was not short of these few taels of silver, so she nodded and agreed when she saw that he would not say anything else.
After halfway through July, there will be a temperature difference between morning and evening, and in another month it will be Mid-Autumn Festival.
Gui Wu and the old couple said that they had a house in the town and took Jiang to live in the town after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Jiang didn't want his health, so he would ask for medical treatment every autumn and winter, which would be more convenient in the town. Moreover, Gui Wu would take the children's examination in February next year, and there were teachers and classmates in the town to learn.
Although the old couple didn't have the original intention, they mentioned this matter as early as when Gui Wu came back, so there was no reason to stop him.
When Gui Wu first arrived home, he gave his second grandma Gui's 50 taels of silver. Gui's second grandma Gui gave Mei's eight taels as a betrothal gift, and gave one tael of silver to Yang's housework, and there were still 41 taels left. The old lady took out all the old lady and stuffed it to Gui Wu, so that he could keep it in the town for use.
The couple had no living, and they were living in vain and studying was a costly thing. Grandma Gui was worried.
Gui Wu refused to accept it and said, "Mom, don't worry. In addition to the small courtyard where you live, my son also bought a small shop and gave it to collect rent and get a monthly income, which is enough to make it. This money is left at home, so the house will be more spacious in the future and you don't have to be so frugal."
When Grandma Gui heard this, she was not relieved, but said with a frown: "Son, you can't be careless of being a person. If you don't talk about the fifty taels before, how much money does this yard cost? Even if you have money in your father-in-law's teahouse every year, you shouldn't be left with so much money? Did you take it and shouldn't take it? You can't do that!"
As a person, he is like Mrs. Li. He not only guards his own family, but also wants to bring other people's belongs to his own. He also has the same kind of grandma Gui, who is not at ease when he takes advantage of it. He is poor and rich, but only wants to live his own life.
Gui Wu said: "Don't worry, mom, this is the dividend I have earned in my business with my friends. My father-in-law and mother-in-law also knows this and will not misunderstand it."
Grandma Gui then felt at ease, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You can't always follow him on Chongyang. That child is a big heart. If you are an uncle, you should discipline him and ask him a few words."
Gui Wu nodded and agreed.
The next day, Gui Wu went to the town and Gui Chongyang went with him.
Gui Wu bought two adjacent small courtyards in the town and three small shops in different locations at the wharf, all of which were bought from one family. An old shopkeeper had accumulated these for a lifetime. He didn't expect his son to be a prodigal boy. After less than three years of death, he owed a lot of gambling debts and could only sell the industry. Gui Wu got the news, but he got a bargain.
The two yards have the same layout, three straight, four wings and seven rooms, because the price is not low because the water well is dug. The one that was a little older, the one that was built later was 60 taels. In the end, it was in the town, and the money for a house can be built in two or three sets in the village.
There is a small door between the two yards, and one is opened, and two are closed.
