Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 423
For the past two days, Guan Wu wandered around the old house to see if there was any movement from Guan Zhicheng. This person came from the old house again. It is self-evident where the red rubbing on the forehead came from.

Xing'er immediately went up to meet him, her eyes widened slightly, she stretched out her hand to touch his forehead and asked, "What's going on? How did you do it?"

Guan Wu stretched out his hand to pull Xing'er's hand, saying it's all right, but looked at Li Xin, his face slightly dark: "Sister-in-law, brother, you haven't finished what you said?"

"No, but it should be soon. Master Jiang is not a procrastinator." Li Xin replied with a worried expression on his face: "Second brother, your forehead..."

It just so happened that Xing'er stretched out her hand to touch his red spot again, Guan Wen took a "hissy" breath, Xing'er immediately stopped daring to move her hands.

"Where did you hit or did you rub it? It hurts?" Xing'er withdrew her hand and looked worried, but Guan Wu shook her head: "It's just a bit of a tearing pain, but it's not very painful. .”

Guan Wu took Xing'er's hand and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, don't worry."

"Then who caused the injury on your forehead?" Xing'er asked anxiously, "Is it your sixth brother?"

Guan Wu pursed his lips, but shook his head.

"That is……"

"We'll talk about it later."

Guan Wu comforted Xinger, Li Xin went to the house to get the ointment and asked Xinger to apply it on Guan Wu's forehead.

"At any rate, the skin is a little bit red and bloodshot, so it's better to apply it, and the scab will heal faster."

"Fortunately, the injury was on the forehead." Xing'er painted Guan Wu's forehead, and said angrily, "What if it hurts the eyes?"

Guan Wu just kept his face sullen and didn't say a word.

Seeing him like that, Xing'er couldn't say anything, and looked at Li Xin, both sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law were puzzled: Who caused the injury on Guan Wu's forehead?If it wasn't Guan Zhicheng, then it could only be Guan Ming.But if Guan Ming made a move with him, Guan Wu wouldn't be so patient, he must have lost his temper long ago.

After applying the ointment, Guan Wu excused himself to go home and wash his face, and passed by the path.Xing'er wants to follow, but Guan Wu won't let her follow.

"Ah Wu seems to have something on his mind." Xing'er murmured, "He's not normal today."

"I don't know what happened in the old house..." Li Xin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, when Master Jiang is gone, the second brother will know when he tells his elder brother?"

Fortunately, Master Jiang is really a person who doesn't talk nonsense at all. After finishing the business, he said goodbye to Guan Wen. It was the same as the first time he came two days ago. He didn't communicate with Guan Wen at all, just a casual meal. Will not stay to eat.

With the first experience, Guan Wen was not too surprised, sent Master Jiang downhill, and said to Li Xin: "We have discussed it, and the wages have been negotiated. He said that the work will start in five days, and the construction period will end. Pay him when the time comes. We will find someone, and he needs fifteen to twenty people."

Li Xin nodded: "Did you say how long the construction period is?"

"Two months."

"So long?"

Guan Wen shrugged: "He said it was mainly to lay a good foundation, and it would take more than a month to lay the foundation." Guan Wen said: "I don't understand this very well, but I think what he said is very reasonable, because It is to build a relatively taller house, so the foundation must be firm, just like the roots of a tree, the roots are firmly grasped, so that the house will not shake when it is built."

Li Xin pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Then I can only listen to him."

"The salary he asks for is not too high, three taels of silver."

"Three taels?" Li Xin raised his eyes.

"Akun also said that the houses in the town are basically three or five taels, and there are large yards and so on, and there are dozens of taels." Guan Wen said: "He will stay with us for two months, and the three taels are about the same. That’s right. Oh, that’s right.” Guan Wen said again: “He said he would pay one tael for meals and accommodation during this period, and asked for one meal a day with meat on the table.”

"This person is really weird..."

Li Xin touched his chin.

Guan Wen smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

At this moment, Xing'er coughed in a low voice, and Li Xin quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, Ah Wen, the second brother is back." Li Xin pointed to Xiaojing: "He doesn't look very well, you go and ask him what's the matter."

Guan Wen was surprised, and while saying yes, he went to the path.

After a while, Guan Wen and Guan Wu returned together, and the two brothers went to the hall.Li Xin and Xing'er looked at each other, and followed into the main room.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin asked with a frown.

Guan Wu rubbed his forehead, he didn't seem to know how to speak, he paused for a while and looked outside the main room, he saw that the old man was sitting on the rocking chair outside the door, and there was no sign of Amei, Yang'er and Yang'er came from the attic Xiaokang laughed, and there were only these two couples left in the room.

Guan Wu pursed his lips, then withdrew his mind, and said softly, "The wound on my forehead was caused by that Miss An family."

"what!"

Xing'er immediately exclaimed, Guan Wu hurriedly held her down and said, "Don't yell, don't yell! Can this matter be publicized!"

Guan Wu made a "shh" gesture to Xing'er, Xing'er suppressed the shock in her heart, looked at Guan Wu in disbelief and said, "You mean, that Miss An family went to the old house?"

Guan Wu didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen, Li Xin thought, this is a troublesome situation.

An Xuan is the newlywed who is about to get married, and she is going to get married in half a month. At this time, she is supposed to be married in a deep boudoir, how can she escape from An's house and enter the house so blatantly?She doesn't care about her own reputation!
Guan Wen's face was also livid, and he asked Guan Wu, "What's going on, please explain clearly."

Guan Wu said in a deep voice: "I saw nothing happened yesterday, and there was no movement when I went today. I planned to come back, but I didn't expect there was a noise by the door, so I hid by the courtyard wall and waited for a while, but Seeing the door open, the An family girl came out with a small basin of water and splashed it out. When she turned around and went back, she probably saw me frightened her there. She didn't think much about it, so she threw the basin at me. Throwing it over, it hit my forehead, the edge of the basin probably wasn't smooth, it just scratched my forehead and went down."

Guan Wu thumped the table: "When I came back to my senses, Miss An had already gone in and put the bolt on the door."

Guan Wen remained silent, and Guan Wulue asked in a somewhat bewildered manner: "Brother, what should we do now? It's also a girl's house, and she has no grievances with us in the past, and we can't let the matter go. The An family is also a respectable family, and when it comes to investigation, it can only be said that Guan Zhicheng was greedy for wealth and honor, and kidnapped his daughter..."

Guan Wu scolded Gou Niang irritably, "Guan Zhicheng really won't give up until he makes some troubles! Maybe someone will come here to ask someone to come here right now!"

"The An family shouldn't be so reckless. It won't be good for them if things get out." Li Xin was also a little speechless to Guan Zhicheng and Miss An's family at the moment, but he still analyzed rationally: "The Shen family and the An family The marriage is imminent, and Master An's attitude shows that Master An attaches great importance to this marriage with the Shen family, and will definitely not allow Miss An to have any trouble. So he will do everything possible to cover up this matter. "

"That's what I said, but Miss An..." Xing'er sighed, "She doesn't cooperate, no matter how much Master An tries to hide it, it's useless."

"Ms. Shen has met Miss An. If Miss An is still sensible, she won't run away like this..." Li Xin said in a deep voice, "Unless Miss An is willing to go all out, for the sake of Guan Liu, I don't care about everything." .”

Guan Wen lowered his eyebrows and listened to Li Xin and the others before he opened his mouth and said, "Ms. An's family should have come to the village quietly at night. If that's the case, it will be dawn this day, and the An's family must have discovered them too." Miss Jia is gone. It is estimated that she will really be on her way to find someone right now." Guan Wen said: "The most urgent thing is to get Miss An away first. ..."

Guan Wen made a slashing movement, Guan Wu was shocked, and looked at Guan Wen: "No way..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's not uncommon for rich families to hide their ugliness." Guan Wen said, "Xiao Liu has caused a big disaster without knowing it, and Miss An's reckless behavior will end badly for both of them. Guan Wen took a deep breath: "Second Brother, let's go to the old house. If Dad and Xiaoliu are both there, we will each live in one. Xiner."

Guan Wen looked at Li Xin again, and was silent for a while before saying, "I don't want to worry too much about him, but this matter may be related to his life or death."

Li Xin responded in a low voice: "I understand."

"You go with me and my second brother. We will restrain Dad and Xiaoliu, and you go and take Miss An away."

Li Xin nodded slightly: "Okay."

The An family has lost a young lady, and the maids, servants, and mothers will definitely know. Master An is currently paying 120 points of attention to this daughter. Hearing that she is missing, he will naturally make great efforts to find her.The first thing to look for is the Guan family in Hehua Village.

If Mr. An caught An Xuan and Guan Zhicheng living together, regardless of whether the two of them had cooked rice, An Xuan's reputation would be ruined.Once any rumors spread, let alone marrying the Shen family, they might not be able to stay here in Hui County—if they offended the Shen family, how could the An family still have a foothold in Hui County?
Li Xin understands the seriousness of the matter, and this is not the time to be impatient.

Guan Wen and Guan Wu immediately went to the old house, Li Xin told Xing'er to stay in the main room and not to worry, and followed behind the two.

When they reached the door of the old house, Guan Wen and Guan Wu knocked open the wooden door without saying a word, and Li Xin heard a woman's exclamation from inside.Immediately afterwards, Guan Zhicheng and Guan Ming's curses also rang out.The sound of the woman crying in shock also sounded.

How can one old and one young rival the strength of two big men?After a while, Li Xin heard Guan Wen shout: "Xin'er!"

Li Xin stepped into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and followed the sound. In Guan Zhicheng's bedroom, he saw Guan Zhicheng and Guan Ming who were pressed on the bed by Guan Wen and Guan Wu. The crying An Xuan.

Li Xin frowned, stepped forward without saying a word, grabbed An Xuan's arm and cut it behind her back, scolding sharply: "Be honest! I think you haven't caused enough trouble!"
