Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 297: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 25

"Dreaming? Qianqian doesn't understand what that means."

"It's okay. Qianqian doesn't need to understand now. She just needs to know how to eat. Come, try the noodles." Li Xiuqin brought the noodles to Gu Qian.

"Ok!"

After eating a big bowl of noodles, Gu Qian burped contentedly. She looked at her parents and found that they were looking at her with a smile.

"Qianqian, are you happy that we will have buns and noodles to eat every day from now on?" Gu Yong said.

Gu Qian nodded happily, "Happy, the noodles are delicious too."

"It's delicious!" Li Xiuqin decisively turned to Gu Yong and said, "Brother Yong, why don't we just make both steamed buns and noodles? Sell steamed buns in the morning, and noodles at noon and in the evening!"

"Xiuqin, if this is the case, I definitely can't do it alone. I have to hire someone to help me."

"Brother Yong, I would say we should just wait until you find a shop, then we can say hello to the village chief and go to the county when there are fewer people. We will have to leave sooner or later anyway, so why bother what they say?"

Seeing that Gu Yong was a little hesitant, Li Xiuqin continued, "Let's just say that you and I are both here to work, and the boss is kind enough to give us a small house in the backyard of the shop, allowing us to live with our children and look after the shop."

"Xiuqin, you are really smart. Let's do it this way! Let's go to the county together tomorrow, select a shop, complete the formalities, and use a cart to bring some things we need over."

"But what about the things at home?"

Gu Yong was stunned by the question. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place in the house to bury him. Bury him deep enough so he won't be discovered."

"That's all."

Seeing that Li Xiuqin was still a little worried, Gu Yong comforted her: "Don't worry, we have lived here for so many years and nothing like that has ever happened. Besides, everyone knows that our family is poor."

Li Xiuqin laughed out loud at Gu Yong's amusement: "Okay, you are the only one who is poor. Let's bury it now. Just bury the banknotes and jewelry, and leave the fabrics and other things alone."

"okay."

Gu Yong brought two large shovels from outside and started digging the hole.

After a short while, the two men had buried the things tightly, and there was no trace of any flaws on the outside.

To be on the safe side, Gu Qian also built a hidden formation around it to ensure that even if someone dug it, they would not be able to see it.

Even for the box of cloth, Gu Qian had set up a formation outside the box so that no one could see its existence.

At this moment, at the same time but in a different place, Gu Ming was preparing to do something that even he himself could not believe.

"Old man, do you really want to do this?"

"If we don't make a decision now, will we have to wait until we die to make a decision?"

"But... that's more than two taels of silver every year! We don't have to do anything to raise Fuwa, and we can also save up a dowry for her."

"Money is more important than life? Don't you understand? We can't have anything to do with that place anymore, or we will die sooner or later!"

"I..." Zhao Mei was choked. Money is not as important as life.

Oh, what a crime!

"I've already thought about it. We can't use it, but Fuwa can. We don't need the filial piety money. We will save it for Fuwa's dowry when she grows up. Anyway, we can't let them get away with it!"

"That's fine... it's fine. Giving it to Fuwa means giving it to us."

"In order to avoid any more trouble, let's go to the village chief and talk it over now."

Gu Ming and Zhao Mei took Gu Xi to the village chief's house and explained their ideas to him.

"That's not impossible, but we still need to discuss it with Mr. and Mrs. Gu Yong. How about I ask someone to call them over?"

"No need to call them!" When Gu Ming heard that the village chief wanted to call Gu Yong and others over, he hurriedly stopped him.

"It's just thirty taels, isn't it too much? Village chief, please write us an IOU and I'll have my Fuwa sign and stamp his hand. Village chief, you can give it to Gu Yong, if he agrees, just sign and stamp his hand."

"Why...are you acting so weird all of a sudden?"

"Oh, not surprising. We are already in this situation, we have to make some plans for the younger generation. Gu Yong probably can't afford it now, so why not give it to him slowly? What's the point of having this money at our age? Why not leave it to Fuwa?"

Gu Yong said these high-sounding words stiffly, but in fact he was still heartbroken.

Thirty taels. He had never seen thirty taels of silver appear in front of him in his life!

The village chief was also very shocked when he heard his touching words. Did this person change his character or something? Is it Gu Ming?

How could Gu Ming have the spirit to care about Gu Yong? Or did he fall down a few times yesterday and hurt his brain?

"Are you serious? You're not kidding?"

"Of course it's true. Village chief, please write a note for me. This money must be given to Fuwa before she gets married. Oh, and if we die a hundred years later, Gu Yong's family must take care of Fuwa."

"Okay, I admire you for saying this. I'll write it for you right away!"

The village chief took out a piece of paper from the table and wrote on it.

After a moment, he put down his pen and read the contents to Gu Ming.

"Is this feasible? If you are worried, I can go with you to the elders and let them bear witness together."

"Village chief, I have nothing to worry about with what you wrote." After saying that, he picked up Gu Xi, and wrote the two words "Gu Xi" stiffly at the signature place according to the strokes written by the village chief, and then stamped it with his fingerprints.

"Okay, Village Chief, please show this to them and sign it if they have no objection."

"Okay, I will definitely get this done for you."

After Gu Ming and the other two left, the village chief immediately took the IOU and went to Gu Yong's house.

"buckle"

Gu Yong and Li Xiuqin, who had just buried something, were already feeling guilty, and were both startled when they heard the knock on the door.

"Ouch!" Li Xiuqin patted her chest, took a breath, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Yong, is that a knock on the door?"

"Yes, don't worry, I'll go check it out."

Gu Yong walked out of the room, opened the gate and saw that it was the village chief.

"Village leader? Come in, please. Are you here to talk to me about something?"

"Look at this." The village chief followed Gu Yong into the yard and handed him the IOU.

"What is this..." Gu Yong took the IOU and began to read it.

He had studied for a few days with the old teacher in the village, so he could roughly understand it.

After reading it roughly, he said, "Village Chief, does this mean that when Xixi is about to get married, I will give her thirty taels?"

"Yes! You don't have to pay the tribute every year. Just give thirty taels in total. If you agree, please sign and stamp your hand."

"I agree."

The village chief was surprised by Gu Yong's straightforwardness. "Don't think about it again? You agree?"

"Yes! I should have given the money anyway. There's no need to hesitate. Besides, I really can't afford it right now, so this is the best."

"Okay, do I need to take you to the clan elders to confirm the authenticity of this IOU?"

"No, I believe the village chief has made all the arrangements, there won't be any mistakes."

"Okay, you're a straightforward person." The village chief casually took out a pen, ink and ink pad and handed them over, "Come on, sign it."

Gu Yong signed his name neatly and stamped it with a red handprint.
