After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 53

Su Xiaomu was already his daughter-in-law in Li's eyes, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to get her contract of sale.

Gu Jingcheng knew it well, he had already figured out how to talk to Su Xiaomu about this matter later, he could give her the contract of sale, and he would not take the two taels of silver.

Since she is leaving the Gu family and going out to live alone, it is always good for a woman to have more money.

If she wants to continue to do business, then this money can also be used as capital.

There is always no need to live a miserable life in the future. After the two of them have nothing to do with each other, he doesn't need to care about whether it will be dangerous for her to go out.

Gu Jingcheng was already ready for Li Shi to sell him the contract, but he never thought that Li Shi would sit still on the bed for a long time, and look at him even more strangely.

"mother……"

Gu Jingcheng frowned, wondering why his mother hadn't moved for a long time.

"Jingcheng, tell mother honestly, do you have someone you like outside and don't want your wife anymore?"

The expression on Li's face was very strange at the moment. In her heart, Gu Jingcheng had always been a down-to-earth child. What he thought and pursued in his heart was always studying hard.

As for the relationship between a man and a woman, she never thought that Jing Cheng would take it to heart, otherwise he would not have acquiesced without saying a word when she separated him and the girl from the Zhao family.

Even when he was so reluctant to marry Su Xiaomu at that time, he felt that the matter of being happy was too absurd, not that he should not marry a wife.

But now... unexpectedly asked her to sell her body?
At this moment, Li's mind was thinking of everything Su Xiaomu had done for the Gu family, and her eyes instantly turned cold.

Looking at his favorite son in front of him, his words were not as gentle as before.

"Jingcheng, Mom doesn't care what you think in your heart, or whether you really have a girl you like outside.

Anyway, my mother only recognizes a daughter-in-law like Xiaomu. You have read so many books and learned so many sages and sages, you should know that people should be grateful.

Our family is like this, your eldest brother can give you some money during meals to make your life better, but it all depends on Xiaomu and your sister-in-law doing business outside. "

Li Shi looked at Gu Jingcheng with hatred, and she said a lot to him.

In the end, seeing Gu Jingcheng frowning and not saying a word, Mrs. Li got angry at him rarely, and kicked him out of the room.

He stood at the door, listening to Li's panting voice in the room, with a bitter smile curled up on his lips.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say for a while.

I thought it would be fine if a very simple thing was not done, but it also caused Li's misunderstanding.

soulmate?

How could he have a confidante?

Gu Jingcheng sighed, he turned around and stepped down the steps to talk to Gu Hai and Gu Feng, but he hadn't come back for a long time, so he still wanted to talk to them about some things.

But he never thought about it, just turning around, he saw Su Xiaomu.

Outside the Gu family courtyard.

Su Xiaomu has been staring at Gu Jingcheng's waist with wide-eyed eyes since just now.

She noticed that Gu Jingcheng's waist was a little thicker than before eating, but he has always been a thin person, so she guessed that he must have taken something around his waist, if it wasn't even, it was her contract of prostitution.

The gaze she stared at his waist was too hot, Gu Jingcheng turned sideways slightly unnaturally.

He cleared his throat twice and said, "Mother never gave me your deed of sale."

"what?"

Su Xiaomu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I'm going to ask about your contract of sale. My mother suspects that I have a confidante outside and wants to divorce my wife, so she doesn't want to give it to me."

But now Su Xiaomu was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"Wait for a while."

Gu Jingcheng had already thought of a remedy, he frowned slightly, "I will definitely..."

"Let's talk later."

Su Xiaomu doesn't have any hope for Gu Jingcheng now anyway, she doesn't want to listen to him continue talking, she turns and leaves directly.

At night, through a curtain, Su Xiaomu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Her round eyes were wide open, but she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Knowing that Gu Jingcheng was so unreliable, she thought of a way to ask Mrs. Li to sell her body.

Fortunately, he didn't get it now, and he went all out to scare the snake, so that she didn't know how to ask Li Shi later.

The recipe for chili sauce was sold and the money was saved, but she was told that she could not leave and that she would continue to live in the Gu family.

Although she doesn't dislike the current life, if she can live freely, who wants to live by looking at other people's faces?
She tossed and turned the small wooden bed, making creaking noises all the time.

Gu Jingcheng didn't sleep well on the other side of the curtain.

He actually felt wronged himself at the moment.

It was Su Xiaomu who asked him to get the deed of sale first.

As for him, even though he had many dislikes towards her, he didn't refuse her, but now that he didn't get the deed of sale, that's all.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't fall asleep until late at night.

After they had breakfast the next morning, Gu Jingcheng had to go back to the academy.

Because of his presence, Mrs. Li specially took some extra money to let them ride in an ox cart.

Although Su Xiaomu and Yin's plan was to do so, since Li was willing to pay the money, they stopped talking and paid for it out of their own pockets.

The bullock cart was rickety, and the dirt road was covered with fog, making it not so easy to walk.

No one spoke to them along the way, and Yin and Gu Ruotong were already a little afraid of Gu Jingcheng, so it was impossible for them to chat with him.

As for Su Xiaomu, he kept turning his head to the other side.

She was afraid that she would meet his eyes, so she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

But aside from the matter of selling his life, Su Xiaomu is actually quite grateful to Gu Jingcheng.

If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have had the chance to ride the bullock cart twice in a row.

She looked at the big yellow ox that was diligently pulling them on the road with a hunchback, her eyes rolled around, and a thought suddenly came to her head.

Perhaps, they can buy an ox cart by themselves?
After entering the city, Gu Jingcheng went to the academy.

Yin Shi originally wanted to let him have breakfast at the shop before leaving, but Gu Jingcheng didn't want to stay too long to make himself unhappy, plus he was in a hurry to ask for leave yesterday, and he didn't know what the master said, so he said goodbye to them first .

"Third Uncle loves reading so much, and he will definitely be named in the gold list in the future, so that our whole family can live a good life."

Looking at Gu Jingcheng's thin back, Yin said to Su Xiaomu with emotion.

"It's better for you, Xiaomu, to marry such a promising husband."

"Sister-in-law's life is not bad, big brother loves you so much, isn't your life as a young couple very hot?"

Su Xiaomu didn't really want to delve into this topic with her.

She intentionally made her eyes look envious, which reminded Yin instantly that the relationship between her and Gu Jingcheng was not good, so she couldn't continue talking.

Today's business was as good as ever, and Su Xiaomu went to the academy to deliver jelly as usual to earn the penny difference.

In any case, people can't get along with money, can they?

It was drizzling when we went back, and the humidity in the air was much higher than yesterday.

The road on the ground was muddy and slippery, and only halfway there, the soles of the three of their shoes were all muddy.

In order to get home before dark, they had to scrape the soles of their shoes with the help of stones they encountered on the road.

The more difficult the road was, the more Su Xiaomu wanted to have an ox cart.

And this desire reached its peak directly after she tripped over a stone on the road and fell.

So as soon as she got home and finished eating, she couldn't wait to propose to Li Shi the idea of ​​buying an ox cart.
