I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 28 Step On Another Foot

Gu Tuo just went out for a walk, and then he came back.

"They all ran away. The trap was probably stepped on by [-]%," he said.

"Will someone step on the remaining [-]%?" Xia Ying asked enthusiastically.

"Probably not. The whole village must have been awake tonight, listening to the movement here! Although they are not very smart, they are not stupid."

"That's it!" Xia Ying slumped her shoulders in frustration.

When there was no good show to watch, she immediately yawned. "Then let's sleep!"

He hugged Sister Fu in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Gu Tuo looked at the one big and one young who were clinging to each other, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he also lay down.

When Xia Ying got up early the next morning, she went to the vegetable garden to take a look, and saw that most of the vegetable seedlings inside were still in good condition, but there was a mess between the ridges.All kinds of branches and grass leaves are messy everywhere, and some places are mottled with bloodstains, which looks shocking.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, it is not difficult to imagine what happened to those people here last night.

When she was in a daze, Gu Tuo came out with a bucket.

"I'm going to fetch water. By the way, I'll go to my second uncle's." He said.

"Are you going to file a complaint?" Xia Ying asked with a smile.

The man immediately slapped his face. "I'm just telling the truth."

"Oh." Xia Ying nodded hastily, "Sister, go slowly! Go back quickly, our family is cooking delicious food today!"

Watching Gu Tuo go away, she smiled and hugged the tub to wash clothes by the river.

When she got to the river, she found that the number of people who came to wash clothes today was reduced by almost half.The other half looked at her with embarrassment and hostility.

Xia Ying pretended not to notice, and greeted these people with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Changwu, did you sleep well last night? I don't know what happened last night. There was so much noise in the vegetable garden in front of our house that I couldn't sleep well all night! Fortunately, my man was afraid of wild Rabbits ran to the fields to steal vegetables, and quietly set a lot of traps in it. But I went to see this morning and found that several traps were destroyed, but none of the rabbits were caught. You said it was annoying Annoyed? I was hoping to catch two rabbits so that I could beat the child's teeth!!"

Hearing her words, all these daughters-in-law's faces immediately became hot, and they lowered their heads in unison, not daring to look at her.

Gu Changwu's daughter-in-law looked embarrassed and could only respond vaguely. "Is there such a thing? I don't know! Our family slept through the night, and we didn't hear anything last night!"

"That's it!" Xia Ying sighed in frustration, "It seems that the only victim is my vegetable garden. What do you think is going on? Obviously, the vegetables in our vegetable garden are all from your families. They came together, why do those wild rabbits have to run to our vegetable garden? Could it be that my family has good Feng Shui, and the vegetables raised are more juicy and delicious?"

"It should be!" Gu Changwu's wife nodded hastily.

"Well, I actually think so too! Anyway, I've been taking care of them with all my heart these days!" Xia Ying shamelessly affirmed herself.

A group of women listened to her pointing and cursing there, and they couldn't stand it any longer.One by one, they washed their clothes in a hurry, and left with a basin.

Seeing this, Xia Ying smiled lightly, she finished washing her clothes slowly, and then went back with a basin of clothes.

After she finished drying her clothes, Gu Tuo came back carrying water.

"How is it?" Xia Ying hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Gu Tuo nodded. "I've already told my second uncle that he will call people from door to door to tell them to guard against snakes, insects, rats and ants. It's just May, and it's the time when snakes and rats grow and run around. His old man also agrees with my idea."

"If there is no accident, the old man has already arranged for someone to notify me as soon as I went out on the front foot."

And as long as they go door-to-door, the old patriarch will know which people went to their house last night to do bad things.Then, the old patriarch has plenty of ways to fix them!

Yesterday, in front of the patriarch, he clearly promised not to cause trouble until now, but as soon as he turned his head, this group of people came to the door quietly in the middle of the night to do bad things. This is actually a slap in the face of the old patriarch!

And the key point is - they couldn't do bad things well, and they were caught by Gu Tuo, and then they fought back unceremoniously.This is even more embarrassing.

Gu Tuo gave the old patriarch enough face this time.He didn't come to find these people, but left the matter to the old patriarch to deal with. This kind of sincerity in solving the problem is fully displayed!
On one side are the ignorant juniors, and on the other side is the obedient and obedient Gu Tuo. The old patriarch's balance will be biased towards one side, one can imagine it.

"Of course, what we should be most grateful for is that there is a good seedling in the family who is going to be a scholar!" Xia Ying said with a smile again, "If it wasn't for Brother Long's face, Second Uncle wouldn't stand up like this without hesitation. On our side!"

In this day and age, it is a big deal to study for one's fame.Especially in a small closed village like Gu's Village, if there is only one talented man, it will be enough for the whole village to walk around with their chins held high!
This is why the old patriarch became so angry after Xia Ying said those words yesterday.

As the patriarch of the clan, he must wish for the prosperity of the clan and the success of his children and grandchildren!Although Gu Tuo and his son have not lived in the village for several generations, they still brought a lot of glory to the village in the early years.Now they came back in despair, but they also brought back a brother Long who was obviously outstanding.

With Brother Long's looks and demeanor, and thinking about his hard work in studying hard every day, who doesn't believe that he will definitely pass the scholar exam in the future?
Yesterday Xia Yingke specially asked Brother Long to show off in front of the old patriarch!

They are all surnamed Gu.As long as Brother Long is selected as a scholar, it will be the glory of the Gu family village and the glory of the old patriarch!

As long as a scholar can be cultivated, he will be the great hero of the entire Gu clan, and after a hundred years, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with the ancestors of the old Gu family when he comes to the Underworld!

Therefore, he will never allow anyone to obstruct this matter!
So now, after Gu Tuo and Xia Ying have made it clear that everything is over, this group of people are still looking for trouble, that is, courting death!
Then they just have to sit and watch the show.

But it's just...

Xia Ying turned her head to look at Brother Long beside her.

"Brother Long, you must work hard and try to pass the exam as soon as possible! If it takes too long, those people will come back, and our family will die miserably!"

Look at how frightened she is!
The corner of Gu Yuanlong's mouth twitched lightly.

"It's just a scholar's fame. To me, it's like finding something out of a bag. If it weren't for the fact that I just came back and I haven't completed the relevant documents, I can go to the boy's exam this year, and I can come back to show them this year!"
