sister-in-law

Chapter 107
Since Gu Lanniang didn't know about Gu Hongxi's stealing, she naturally didn't know about Gu Hongxi.

But ever since her father fell ill, their family hadn't had much to do with Gu Hongxi. Seeing Gu Hongxi taking the initiative to lean on Gu Mo now, she felt a little puzzled.

Seeing the figures of Gu Mo and Gu Hongxi disappearing at the corner of the alley, the two looked at each other, quietly got out from behind the tree, and followed.

Entering the alley, I saw two families inside.

The figures of Gu Mo and Gu Hongxi had long since disappeared, and Gu Lanniang was at a loss for a moment, which family did these two people enter?

It's been less than a year since Su Ruoli got married, and she usually stays out of the house, so how can she know who lives in whose house.Standing in the alley, biting his fingers and looking around.

Anyway, Gu Mo followed Gu Hongxi into this alley, and there were only these two families in this alley, either the owner's or the west's.

The family in the innermost one heard from Gu Lanniang that there lived a blind old woman and a bachelor son. Orphans and widows usually rely on the bachelor son to go hunting and chop firewood in the mountains, and they don't have much contact with the villagers.

The family outside is a couple, and they have no children so far, so they can gather the villagers to play on weekdays.

Su Ruoli analyzed it, Gu Hongxi would definitely not take Gu Mo to a good place if he came forward.Listening to Gu Mo's situation in the past two days, it seems that something is wrong. According to their initial speculation, Gu Mo has a sweetheart.

But it is impossible for these two families to have his sweetheart.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, Gu Hongxi took Gu Mo to do something addictive.

Since Gu Lanniang said that this family outside is good for gathering villagers to play, it is very likely that she entered this family.

In this occluded ancient times, what things can make people never get tired of it?

Her heart skipped a beat suddenly, could it be that this family gathered together to gamble?
Gambling was also called Boxi in ancient times. No matter how the name changes, it is easy to be addicted to a young man who is not deeply involved in the world.

Gu Mo has been restless these two days, maybe he lost a lot, right?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she hurriedly pulled Gu Lanniang to push open the fence gate, and walked lightly into the fenced yard.

The two broken wooden doors with mottled black paint were tightly closed, and there was a rattling sound from inside.

Su Ruoli understood instantly, what is this not mahjong?
She didn't go in immediately, but gestured to Gu Lanniang, and leaned against the door to listen carefully to the movement inside.

I heard a man with a hoarse voice giggling and saying, "Brother Gu, what are you betting on today? You lost all your clothes yesterday. If your second uncle hadn't interceded, you wouldn't have Can't go home?"

Gu Lanniang didn't know why Su Ruoli chose this house before, but now when she heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and there was no blood at all.

It turned out that her own younger brother Gu Mo was also infected with this.

This is the thing she hates the most, thinking that her husband, Wang Laichun, is addicted to gambling, and if he doesn't go out to play a few games every day.All the valuable things in the family were gambled, even the muslin padded jacket that Su Ruoli made for her and the child during the confinement last time, they almost lost her and the daughter.

Hearing the rattling sound inside, Gu Lanniang felt her heart beating wildly, her whole body was weak, and her legs were trembling so that she could hardly stand up.

There is no news of the eldest brother from the natal family joining the army, and it is not known whether he is dead or alive.If the second brother is no longer successful, wouldn't the whole family be over?
The father is gone, the mother is out of tune, and there is no younger brother to support the family, so they are separated?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.If it wasn't for Su Ruoli's glance, she would have cried to death here long ago.

There were chattering voices coming from inside, and they seemed to be irritating Gu Mo.

But the two of them didn't hear Gu Mo's voice, and they didn't know what he was thinking at the moment.

After a long time, the voice inside finally got quieter, and a person replied softly and without any confidence: "I...I have nothing now, can you lend me a few more taels of silver? I turned over today. Give it all back to you!"

It was Gu Mo's clear and quiet voice, but now he was struggling in his heart and seemed weak.

At this moment, Gu Lanniang bit her lower lip tightly, almost bleeding from the bite, and tried her best not to cry.Listening to her brother's voice, her heart was bleeding.

Su Ruoli was also very uncomfortable in his heart. Hearing Gu Mo's words, he was clearly addicted.In fact, gambling is like this. If you lose, you still want to make money. The more you want to win, the more obsessed you become.

But Gu Mo is just a poor boy who ran away from his parents. What kind of heart does Gu Hongxi have when he is brought here?In the end, he can only lose Gu Mo, what else can he gain?

Gu Hongxi is obviously a plucking guy, he can even steal things from his nephew to build a house, how could he do such a thing without profit?
But what benefits can Gu Mo have?

Su Ruoli's Hei Jingjing's eyes flickered, and she already knew it in her heart.Gu Mo is a penniless poor boy, but he lives with himself, and his food and clothing are much better than those in the village, and the three big tile houses are even more enviable to many people.

After all, Gu Hongxi is using Gu Mo's hand to seize the family property, right?
He really blinded his dog's eyes. Luo Shi was her legitimate mother-in-law before, but she couldn't get anything good. What kind of person is he, Gu Hongxi?
What's more, she is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. If she wants her things, she has to see if he has something in his hand.

Squinting his eyes, Su Ruoli continued to listen without moving his expression.

Since Gu Mo has nothing but the value of the clothes, what will these people ask him to bet on?

In the room, there was another middle-aged man's voice, Su Ruoli and Gu Lanniang were both familiar, it was Gu Hongxi's.Hearing him laughing and laughing, he said: "Don't look down on my nephew, he has no money now, but when he ends up fighting for fame, the money won't roll in? What's more, his family lives now. With a big tile-roofed house, that one is the best in our village, how much is it worth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, those people's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Gu Mo like hungry wolves.

Gu Mo slapped his palm on the kang table, and said in a high voice, "No, that belongs to my elder brother and sister-in-law, how can I bet on that?"

"Hehe, you are still a brat. Your sister-in-law's property is your elder brother's, and your elder brother's is yours. You just use it to make a bet, and you don't decide to give it away. When you turn over the book, this house will still be yours." Yes, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Hongxi patiently explained to Gu Mo, what he said seemed to make sense.

Gu Mo hesitated a little, if he could really read the book, he would have the face to go back to see his sister-in-law and eldest sister.At that time, the sister-in-law will not have to be so embarrassed to borrow money from others.

People who are obsessed with ghosts are just on the edge of their own horns. They can't think of the consequences if they lose, and they only think about turning their books.

This was the case for Gu Mo at this time, he clenched his fists tightly with both hands, breathing heavily, struggling with conflicts in his heart, and didn't know what to do.

Gu Hongxi laughed haha, "I said good nephew, you are also a seven-foot man, you can't just live with your sister-in-law for the rest of your life, right? Now she is not your sister-in-law, after all, you have nothing to do with her You just have the heart to watch a little girl rush to raise money for you in order to get you out? It's just to let you bet on the house, not to sell the house. What are you afraid of? Is there anything else? Is the boy bloody?"

These words were spoken loudly and quickly in front of him, which made Gu Mo's blood boil.Yes, he has grown up, how can he make his sister-in-law work hard to earn more money?The eldest brother was born and died outside, how could he have the nerve to let his sister-in-law take care of him?
"Okay, I promise!" He boldly agreed, only to feel the blood rushing to his head, and his face flushed red.

Gu Hongxi and the man with hard teeth on the opposite side looked at each other, a sly smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and the two quickly echoed Gu Mo, "Yes, this is a good man!"

Before the words were finished, there was a "bang", and the two dilapidated wooden doors were kicked open by a force, causing everyone to look up.

For a while, I couldn't see clearly, I saw two slender figures standing at the door, the one in front was petite and seemed to have not yet grown up, but exuded a lingering chill all over his body, which made these men with smug smiles feel like they were all over the place. A layer of goosebumps appeared.

Su Ruoli walked unhurriedly to the edge of the kang, glanced at the pale Gu Mo, and asked him with a sneer, "Why do you bet on my house? I don't seem to have anything to do with you, right? "

When Gu Mo heard the sound, he turned his head to look over. Although everyone couldn't see who it was from the backlight, Gu Mo, who was with Su Ruoli every day, could recognize it with just a glance.He only felt his head swell with a buzzing sound, it was blank, and he no longer knew where he was.

It wasn't until Su Ruoli asked him that he came back to his senses.But he knew that Su Ruoli was telling the truth, what right did he have to bet on her house?

After a wry smile, he stood up silently, and bowed to Su Ruoli, "Sister-in-law, I shouldn't!"

The words "sister-in-law" did not extinguish Su Ruoli's anger. She really did not expect that Gu Mo would believe Gu Hongxi's words.

It's also because she was careless, she always thought about earning more money on weekdays, so she didn't notice Gu Mo's thoughts, which led him to the path he is on today.

However, she knew that it was still too late, the key was to let Gu Mo see Gu Hongxi's face clearly, and let him know that all of this was just a scam!

Everyone who was startled by Su Ruoli's sudden arrival didn't know what to say, and the room was dead silent!
It took a long time for Gu Hongxi to realize it, and greeted Su Ruoli with a dry smile, "My nephew, are you here? I just brought Mo'er here for fun, and I didn't do anything to him, so don't you worry?"

Before the words finished, Su Ruoli interrupted abruptly, "Go away, what are you? Who is your niece and wife?"

Being yelled at by a young junior like this, Gu Hongxi's face naturally couldn't help it.
