Chapter 31 How did you get here?
The Gu family is considered one of the wealthy families in the surrounding villages.

The patriarch, Gu Dachuan, is the team leader. The eldest and second sons in the family are hardworking and down-to-earth. The third son is a regular employee of the county machinery factory. His monthly salary is equivalent to that of a strong laborer working in the countryside for a year.

Only one young son is left at home. He neither goes to work nor comes home. He can be said to be the hard-working son of the family.

When others heard her mention his marriage, they would try to avoid it as much as possible. Those who would agree to meet him were all disabled or widows with children.

In fact, because of his existence, the third brother's marriage is difficult to arrange.

Hearing that he was going to make another mistake, Wang Dongni, the head of the Gu family, was so scared that she dropped her vegetable basket and ran out.

Si Ya didn't even have time to catch her breath before she chased after him.

Lingxi came here to tell Gu Si the good news. She didn't stay long after she finished speaking and was about to leave when she saw an old lady running towards her in a hurry.

Before Lingxi could come to her senses, Gu Si noticed the person coming and had already blocked Lingxi behind him.

Wang Dongni was originally afraid that this unruly little son would make a mistake, but now seeing him holding the girl's hand and the girl letting him hold her hand, Wang Dongni's face instantly broke into a smile.

"Well, you guys talk, talk, I'm just passing by..."

She continued walking forward, bypassing his fourth son, her eyes constantly glancing at Lingxi. After looking at her body, she stared at her butt. As for her face... she just glanced at it casually and ignored it.

It's plump, white and tender, and the butt looks like it can give birth to a big fat boy!
Well, the clothes are made of brand new fabrics, and the shoes have fine stitching...

You can tell at first glance that the family is well-off and loves their daughter very much.

Lingxi felt uncomfortable with this look that seemed like she was being scrutinized. Gu Si reacted, put his hand on Lingxi's shoulder, gently pushed the girl, and turned around with everyone to walk towards the single-plank bridge over the reed marsh, completely blocking Wang Dongni's sight.

As for the original avoidance of suspicion...

Forget it, when they showed up, they were holding hands.

Lingxi almost ran away, leaving Gu Si to come back and face this unfamiliar mother.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Si was speechless for a moment.

He usually doesn't go home, and he rarely even eats at the same table with anyone, so he really isn't familiar with anyone.

Wang Dongni laughed happily: "I said that our fourth child is a high school student, the smartest, how could he be so unsuccessful? You said that you have been working honestly these days, are you doing this to show off to the girl?"

Gu Si: “…”

"Yes, yes."

Wang Dongni nodded: "Then you should work hard. Don't worry, I will not let the family hold you back. I will scold your two sisters-in-law when I go back and I will definitely help you coax your wife back."

As for why she didn't ask about Lingxi's situation...

It would be a blessing if someone wanted a boy like her youngest son!

Besides, the person she just met was much better than the one introduced by the matchmaker in every way.

Thinking of something, Wang Dongni took out two dimes from her pocket and stuffed it in: "Here, here, go buy her a popsicle when you have nothing to do and treat her to a popsicle. Little girls love to eat that."

Wang Dongni came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving Gu Si staring at the two cents in his hand.

Well, there's a smell of motor oil on it, which is the change he got from Zhao Jianan last month as part of his living expenses.

He silently tore off a piece of reed leaf, wrapped the money in it, put it in his pocket, and went back to the drying yard.

Lingxi was walking home with lingering fear, and ran into the brothers Pei Jin and Pei Xuan, who had sneaked out from work and wanted to settle the score with the bastard who cheated their sister.

Pei Jin and Pei Xuan looked in the direction she came from, and their faces darkened instantly. Ling Xi: "..."

Ah, this...

"Big brother, third brother?"

Lingxi's tone was a little weak and she felt guilty.

Pei Xuan snorted coldly: "Oh, you still remember to go home!"

Weird and weird.

Lingxi shrank her neck guiltily: "I'll just be out for a while!"

Oh!

Brother San, this is a bit scary!
Pei Jin touched Lingxi's head and comforted her: "It's okay, you go back first, the eldest brother and the third brother have something to do."

Lingxi said "oh", glanced in the direction they were going, silently said "take care, fourth brother" in her heart, and slipped away without looking back.

Pei Xuan looked at Lingxi who didn't even turn her head back as if something was chasing her from behind. Finally, he couldn't hold back his stern face and smiled!
"He is usually timid, but he did such a big thing without making any noise."

Last night, when the old lady told them about it, they were really shocked.

If a normal person hears that the daughter who is pampered by everyone in the family has found such a partner for him, his first reaction will be to refuse.

Anyone who says this, unless he is the old lady in their family, will be beaten out.

They also thought that Lingxi was deceived by Pei Fuzhu's dream and she was desperate to find a cure, so she found such a person for herself.

However, they listened to the old lady patiently, and just like her, they really couldn't say anything to express their firm opposition.

Gu Si has the ability to make money, is good to Lingxi, is willing to spend money on Lingxi, is good-looking, and Lingxi likes him...

Of course there are shortcomings, but those shortcomings, which are a big deal in other people's families, are really nothing in the Pei family.

Their family is not short of money.

Not to mention the work points earned from the fields, the old Pei family would also hunt for money throughout the year. Pei Yu also made a lot of invisible income from doing transportation outside. Uncle Pei had worked for so many years, and with his rank, salary, and allowances, he could earn as much as an ordinary worker earns in a year in a month. He said that he was saving it for Lingxi.

Lingxi's biological father also left many things for Lingxi.

Moreover, although the Pei family was defeated in the war, there were still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, so his family was not completely emptied and was not innocent.

However, these days, everything is waiting to be distributed, and everything requires a ticket. Although the Pei family has a better life than other families, it is not so obvious.

But, what the old lady said was right. As long as this man is really good to Lingxi, even if he has nothing and is not good at anything, it is not impossible for their Pei family to support him.

What's more, he is not really useless.

In this way, the people from the old Pei family convinced themselves.

But they had never met this famous Fourth Brother Gu, and no one was sure what he was like. So Pei Jin and Pei Xuan ignored their work and secretly went to Gujia Village to find Fourth Brother Gu.

Gu Si, a grown man, was watching over the drying yard in the village and chasing sparrows with the little kids. This was a rare thing and it was no secret. After asking around a bit, the two men found out by following the location.

At this time, Gu Si was still leaning against the tree trunk, his eyes occasionally sweeping across the drying yard. When he saw a sparrow that was not attracted by the bait and was about to land on the wheat, he would flick a stone at it.

The sparrow was hit and fell straight down.
