Chapter 17

"Both the long room and the second room have said, there's no need for it." Mrs. Zhu told Gu Yingying the news she had heard:

"Their family has a new windmill. Jia also said that after they have harvested their own millet and dried it, they will drag the windmill to several nearby villages. While helping others, by the way And earn some wages."

When Gu Yingying heard the news, she suddenly remembered that Xingya'er's father was a carpenter who worked in a shop in the town?
Xingya'er's father is Jia's third uncle.

The villagers in the vicinity often went to that man to do work, presumably the workmanship of that man was passable.

It's just that that person has never seen the blueprint of the windmill, even if he has seen what the real thing looks like, he can't make it so quickly.Gu Yingying didn't believe that that person had such strength.

Zhu Shi caught a glimpse of doubt in Gu Yingying's eyes, and said again:

"In order to make the windmill, the people of Luo's family put a lot of thought into it. Jia asked people around, asked several people, and finally asked, in which two shops did you make the windmill, and harvest Machine. Once they know where they are, they go to work.”

The corner of Gu Yingying's lips curled into a hint of sarcasm, she had only been to the city for a stroll, and she didn't run there often.Is it possible to buy a few production tools somewhere and leave such a deep impression on others?
This is not normal.

What's more, what is Jia's ability to get the real answer as soon as he asks someone?

Who did they ask for?
"No, in order to get the blueprint of the windmill, the Luo family even collected 30 taels of silver before buying it from the master carpenter at the port."

In Zhu's words, it also revealed that he did not understand these practices of the Luo family.

Jia Shi is such a budget-conscious person that when he sees his neighbors coming to borrow some salt, he always puts it in a cup as a mark.If the neighbors pay less salt, Jia will definitely not agree.

It's just such a penny-pinching woman who is willing to scrape together money to buy blueprints.

This generosity is truly beyond Gu Yingying's imagination.

Jia's willingness to spend money must be because he thought that making a windmill would make them money.But she has to let Jia know that money is not so easy to earn.

The reason why she was willing to spend so much money to let craftsmen make windmills was because she had made a rule with them and signed by both parties.

Although advanced production tools should be provided selflessly for the villagers to use together.But the problem is that the villagers have to treat her well.

That shrew of the Jia family has hurt her a lot. When she was injured to harvest the rice, she almost fainted in the rice field due to exhaustion.Such a villain, even if he bought the blueprints from a craftsman, he would never be able to live well.

She won't let Jia Shi go!
"Mr. Jia is thinking that since the folks in the village can use the free one, let her uncle, who is Xing Ya'er's father, go to Qifeng Village and ask someone to help spread the word." Yes, Jia Shi and the others also told Gu Yingying how they plan to charge.

After hearing this, Gu Yingying quickly understood that the shrew who sent people to come to the house to spread the word was none other than the dead woman who kicked her into the Lanjiang——

Yin Yuejiao's mother!
It's time to settle the score with that family and the ruthless man Fu Xin.It was only at the moment when they crossed over that the villagers of the two villages, even the magistrate, were busy with harvesting.

When I mentioned it at that time, not only was it ignored, but it was also punished.

Counting the days, Lord Zhifu and Lord Zhixian are about to return after leading people to send the imperial food to the imperial city.

The witnesses that should be found here, she is also trying her best to get along with them so that she can testify for her.

Gu Yingying went back to her bedroom and calculated the medical expenses, lost work expenses, and travel expenses after her injury, and wrote them down in the account book.Still in a drawer.

Although Jia's extorted money from her family before, it was indeed returned to them under the supervision of the magistrate.However, in order to make money this time, Mrs. Jia collaborated with Yin Yuejiao's alluring mother, not to mention peeking at the drawings she provided, and even helped that dead woman come home and threaten her family.This is too much.

The next day.

Gu Yingying packed the cakes that she had made overnight in food boxes and sent them to Xu Xinlan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the intersection, they saw the figures of Gu Qingyu and Shen Ruyi.Those two people might be talking about something, and they stood closer together.

Looking at Shen Ruyi from Gu Yingying's position, she could see the expression on that second aunt's face clearly, and she was very proud.

Before, my mother went to Mrs. Shen's house to invite my second aunt and cousin back, but she failed to invite them back.The second uncle asked her to apologize to the second aunt and the others, but her father refused.In this way, the second aunt and the others have been living in her mother's house.

I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, and it will blow the second aunt, a woman who looks down on country people, close to home.

Gu Yingying knew that Shen Ruyi was looking at her, so she probably wouldn't say anything nice to her.But since I met them, I didn't intend to hide, I just wanted to walk over calmly and talk to them.

It happened that the neighbor Qian Shi went to cut some vegetables in the vegetable field, passed by Gu Yingying, and asked her softly:
"Gu Xiaoya, are you still going out?"

"That's right, Granny Qian, I'll come back as soon as I go." Gu Yingying couldn't tell Qian Shi that what she wanted to give away was medicine for people's medical treatment, not ordinary pastries.But considering that Shen Ruyi was still standing not far away, it was hard to say.

Qian Shi curled her lips, moved closer to Gu Yingying, and said in a soft voice:
"You, you are close to age, you are not young. When your mother was your age, she married into your Gu family and became half the head of the family. Oh, look at you, why don't you just stay at home honestly? You have to run around all day long, and those gossips will gossip again."

They are all people who have raised children. Even if Qian didn't like Gu Yingying very much before, she thinks that this girl is too unreserved and has no education.But she always watched Gu Yingying grow up, and still hoped that she would live well.

"You have to put yourself in the shoes of your parents and look good for them. Alas, words are scary. Do you know that?"

Gu Yingying also knew that Qian Shi didn't have any malicious intentions, she nodded knowingly at Qian Shi, and said, "Understood."

This Qian family was also a matchmaker who helped many people match up in the early years. It seems that she also helped her second uncle to propose a marriage to the Shen family, but it was unsuccessful.

However, Gu Yingying's parents always remembered the favor of Qian's family for helping Gu's family.

So sometimes Gu Yingying cooks some delicious food, and the family will send some to Qian Shi.

Qian Shi and the others sometimes save some eggs, or make some sauerkraut, and they will serve some to the Gu family to taste.

When the original owner ran to the intersection to stop the bullock cart and drove to Jinxia City, it was Qian who heard Xing Ya'er said this, and hurried back to tell Gu Qingfeng and the couple.

If Gu Qingfeng and the others hadn't arrived in time and went into the water to fish her up, the original owner's body might still be in the river.
