Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your mother-in-law?"

The little lady's eyes showed a strong unwillingness: "Princess, my mother-in-law is a fool, she doesn't understand anything at all, she must have been cheated this time, and that's why she did something stupid."

She took a deep breath and kowtowed again. Gu Xiang asked someone to help her up, but she also shook her head to avoid it, and raised her head and said, "Princess, my mother-in-law is stupid, and she loves petty gain by nature, but she really is Not a wicked man, my husband, he has the mind of a child, he knows nothing—"

The little lady hadn't finished her sentence, but she already showed sadness on her face, "If the princess is punished, I am willing to bear it all. I only hope that the princess will give my Li family a way to survive."

The old dog frowned, feeling very dissatisfied.

Gu Xiang smiled.

Who in the world doesn't have their own little thoughts?Yes, it's normal. This little lady must have seen something happen. She thought that the matter hadn't become a big deal, and it hadn't reached the worst point. After all, there were no casualties in the village, and those who were killed or injured were all those thieves, so she came here immediately to replace her mother-in-law. The mother turned herself in, she saved some money, and now she hastened to recruit, and the crime is still light, so that her mother-in-law will not get deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself.

Gu Xiang admired her for being so good at understanding people's hearts.

It is said that she is timid, but at this time she is a little more timid, and sometimes she is at ease when using it. If you are a bold character, you have to be very careful before you dare to use it.

Gu Xiang thought about it carefully, and finally remembered the origin of the anxious little lady in front of her.

Her surname is Lu, and she is from another village. Five years ago, when a disaster occurred in her hometown, she and her mother fled to near Guzhuang. Her mother fell ill due to hunger, and when they were only one step away from dying in Huangquan, they were lucky enough to be rescued by the old patriarch. go back.

At that time, life in Gu Zhuang was not easy, everyone was having a hard time, young and capable people all left the village to find a way to make a living, the village was more depressed, and everyone was having a hard time.

Although Mrs. Lu's mother and son were rescued by the old patriarch, it is impossible to let them eat for nothing all the time.

Just when the two of them had to leave Guzhuang, Li Tiejiang's mother became confused again and recognized Miss Lu as her niece and granddaughter-in-law.

What the old lady loves the most in her life is her niece who lost her parents since she was a child. She loves her niece as much as her eyes. Blacksmith Li is a dutiful son. It's not difficult either.

Li Tiejiang took the mother and daughter in and hired them to take care of his mother.

The mother and daughter only felt that all their luck was spent on this, and they actually got a way out of certain death.

At that time, the two of them were so difficult that they couldn't even sell themselves. If Lu Xiaoniang sold herself, maybe they could still succeed, but how could it be possible to bring my old mother with me in such a remote place?If her old mother leaves her, there is only one dead end.

Since then, Lu Xiaoniang has been grateful to Li Tiejiang and devoted herself to serving Li Tiejiang's old mother. Later, in order to comfort her old man, she willingly married Li Tiejiang's son who burned his head when he was young.

After marrying into the Li family, Lu Xiaoniang strictly abides by her duties and treats the old lady of the Li family with care, and has been serving the old lady away.

The old man died of old age and suffered no crimes before his death. Even the doctor in the village said that the old lady was a lucky one.

Lu Xiaoniang has a very good reputation in the village. She has been taking care of her husband for several years, caring and thoughtful.

Everyone said that Li Tiejiang is a good man with good rewards. With Lu Xiaoniang as his daughter-in-law, his son can be considered secure in this life. After all, being a father and mother can't guard the child for a lifetime. Find a support for the child. rest assured.

Only Li Tiejiang's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

The old dog said in a low voice: "The Li family is now headed by Mrs. Lu, and Blacksmith Li has entrusted the family to her since last year."

"When Mrs. Liu was in charge of the family, she always liked to take some food, meat, and money back to her mother's house, but Miss Lu was in charge of the house. It was a bit inconvenient for her to do this again, but she was reluctant to part with the coffin she had saved. Ben, the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often have conflicts."

"I heard that Mrs. Liu recently lost his job on our farm because of Lu Xiaoniang. He has been trying to clear up the relationship, but he couldn't get in. He was noisy at home all day long. A few days ago, I heard that he even pried open Lu Xiaoniang's wardrobe and took it Lu Xiaoniang's wages."

"Lu Xiaoniang didn't say anything, but her son started yelling, and Liu's face was greatly humiliated. Even Li Tiejiang was angry, and the couple even started fighting. It was the old patriarch who heard the movement and asked people to go advised."

The old dog paused, and said softly, "Miss Lu is really filial."

If it were him, he would let the old woman die. How could she even think about begging for mercy after she died?

Gu Xiang was silent for a moment: "I see, Xiaoniang Lu, let's go back first... I will investigate this matter carefully."

She chuckled softly: "If your mother-in-law leaked the news, then she is colluding with bandits. She will also bear a share of the crime of robbery, and she will hand it over to the government according to the laws of the Song Dynasty."

"Not only that, she also wants to compensate our village for the loss."

"Because of the few things she pointed out, the village organs were exposed, and it was necessary to rearrange them. The cost would be about 200 taels. Although the guards did not die in such a battle, there were a few people injured. , Their nutrition expenses, medicine expenses, losses during the recovery period, etc., all cost a hundred and ten taels, and the damage to the house also requires a lot of money if it is to be repaired."

Lu Xiaoniang was startled, speechless.

Gu Xiang smiled, but his voice softened: "Don't worry, Lu Xiaoniang, your initiative to report has indeed saved us a lot of time, and I will remember it."

If you let the old dog check it, you will definitely find it, but now it will definitely save time and trouble.

After sending away the anxious Lu Xiaoniang, the old dog immediately led people to investigate the matter. If Gu Xiang hadn't mentioned a word of caution, he would have taken the old woman back for interrogation immediately.

Xue Ying also hurriedly changed the organization again.

"When it was first set up, it was true that the villagers were not too shy."

Xue Ying's expression was dignified, obviously very dissatisfied with himself for making such a mistake.

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "We are in the restaurant business, and there are people coming and going in the family, so it is impossible to avoid others."

They didn't even think about hiding it from their own people.

When necessary, these agencies will also play a role in protecting the villagers, and the villagers don't know it at all, which is also a troublesome matter.

At this time, Huamantao and Di Yahuai were properly settled in the room, Huamantao was still a little bit distracted, standing at the door, absent-minded, and anxious, when he suddenly heard the sound of laughing and laughing, and listened carefully However, a few maidservants of the Gu family were playing in the yard next door, as if they were playing throwing pots or Cuju, they were very happy.

Huamantao: "..."

Di Yahuai gasped: "It's really..."

Big heart!

Huamantao cheered up immediately, even the little maid didn't take this 'bandit' to heart, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be so trembling again?
