I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 44
I don't know if it's because it feels so good to go back to bed or for some other reason, anyway, Gu Tuo's spirit is exceptionally good today.

After breakfast, he carried water to clean up the vegetable garden, and then he went outside to cut a tree and came back, and started chopping and chopping, very busy.

Gu Yuanhao could see that he was too excited, so he quietly pulled Xia Ying aside. "Did you secretly cook something delicious for him last night?"

"No!"

"Then why is he so happy? I haven't seen him in such a good mood for a long time!"

"Have it?"

Xia Ying didn't understand.

As far as she knew, Gu Tuo had a poker face all day long, and the occasional emotional change was that the corners of his mouth moved up or down a little bit. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know that the old man still had emotions!

Facing such a face, she really didn't see how Gu Tuo was in a better mood.

But Gu Yuanhao nodded firmly. "He's really happy now! I thought you were the one who should be happy today!"

what?
Xia Ying became more and more confused. "And why should I be happy?"

"Because my father went to talk to my brother last night, and at the end, I heard my brother say..."

The little guy leaned close to her ear and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "Brother said, let him treat you better and trust you more in the future. My brother also said, you are a good girl!"

"Really?" Xia Ying was surprised and delighted, "He really said that? You didn't lie to me?"

"No!" Gu Yuanhao shook his head seriously.

But immediately his face changed again. "It's over! Brother said, don't let me say it!"

"It's okay, I'll pretend I haven't heard of it, and you should pretend I haven't, that's fine!" Xia Ying touched his little head and changed the subject, "It rained last night, the wild fungus outside must be It has grown. Let’s go out and pick some wild fungus and some wild vegetables, it’s better to dig some ground vegetables, come back and make a cold black fungus, add ground vegetables and scrambled eggs, what do you think?”

Gu Yuanhao is a foodie, his attention was immediately attracted by the food.

"Okay!" He nodded hastily.

Xia Ying took sister Fu and brother Hao, and the three happily went out to pick wild vegetables.

Sure enough, as they expected, they picked a lot of wild fungus outside, and Xia Ying even found a big group of wild white fungus!
She picked the white fungus carefully, and when she came back, she couldn't wait to get back to the door of the house, so she went next door and knocked on the door of Aunt Seven's house.

When Aunt Seven heard Xia Ying's voice from outside, she was frightened out of her wits.

She quickly ran back to the house, pulled the quilt over her head, only showing a face that was dying.

When Xia Ying came in and saw her like this, she immediately expressed concern.

"Seventh Aunt, what's the matter with you? I even said to come to you, let's go to Xiajia Village together!"

She just knew it!This dead girl just didn't intend to let her go!

Seventh Aunt suddenly felt that she was right in pretending to be sick.She doesn't want to go to Xiajia Village to make a fool of herself!

"Hey, after I came back yesterday, I felt uncomfortable, and then I had a fever in the middle of the night, and I sweated all night, and I squinted my eyes until dawn, and I still can't get out of bed! Let me see, I won't get better in the next three to five days." She said weakly.

"That's it! That's such a pity." Xia Ying sighed helplessly, and she took out a handful of wild fungus from Gu Yuanhao's back basket, "We just picked these outside, you can make some with them." Let's eat the soup to nourish your body!"

Seventh Aunt pretended to get up, but immediately fell down again.

Seeing this, Xia Ying also said a few nice things in a hypocritical manner, then left the fungus and went out.

When he got outside, Gu Yuanhao lowered his face. "Why are you still smiling at her? I've seen it all. She's well dressed, and the skirt is leaking out from under the quilt! You should have lifted the quilt and exposed her true colors!"

"How can we do that? Your father said that we have to improve the relationship between neighbors. We can't be like before. It's wrong to break up when you're in a bad mood!" Xia Ying corrected him solemnly.

Gu Yuanhao couldn't listen to these words anymore.

"Are you such a person?"

Xia Ying thought about it. "Really not!"

"Then you still..."

"So, under the influence of your father, I changed my mind! Didn't that one want to pretend to be sick? I'll let her pretend to the end! I'll see how long she can last, and how long can those in her family bear her?" Lying in bed and not working for a few days! It’s an important time to plant seedlings recently!”

Gu Yuanhao suddenly realized!
Of course Xia Ying dared to say such shameless words when she entered the house.Gu Tuo finished sawing the wood and was drinking water to rest when he heard Xia Ying's triumphant announcement.

He glanced at her speechlessly, then turned around silently and continued working.

Seeing this, Xia Ying was really surprised this time!
This guy didn't refute her?Silence means approval?

Suddenly realized: what Gu Yuanhao said is quite right, Gu Tuo is in a good mood today!
In the next few days, Xia Ying went to visit Aunt Seven and her old man earnestly every day, grabbing a handful of cabbage in her hand today and two cowpeas in her hand the next day. They were all worthless things, but they had a strong sense of existence, and she was taken aback. The seventh aunt was forced to do nothing, and her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law had to serve her when she ate and drank.

Gradually, there were more quarrels at home when I got up.

As for the follow-up of the Xia family, they also learned about it from other folks later——

Facts have proved that Xia Ying's guess is correct.Her cheap father went to the town with a huge sum of 15 taels of silver in his arms, and went straight to Hualou. After a big meal, he went straight into the casino.But after a few days of hard work, I lost 15 taels of silver.

He was jealous of losing, but he still refused to admit it, so he quickly borrowed another five taels of silver, and lost again.

The people from the casino wanted to kick him out, but Xia Fugui grabbed him and proposed to do a good business with him!

This business, of course, is two people teaming up to come to Gu Tuo's house to cheat and abduct!
But after being exposed by Xia Ying, the people in the casino realized that they had been used by Xia Fugui!They were suddenly furious, turned around and beat Xia Fugui up.

As for the 15 taels of silver that Xia Fugui promised at the beginning with interest plus hard work, they didn't let it go.Dazed, he forced Xia Fugui to sign an IOU of 15 taels of silver, and then left.

That is to say, after Xia Fugui's coquettish operation, not only did he not earn back the 15 taels of silver, but he even paid out [-] taels of silver!

Such a large amount of foreign debt is definitely worse for their family.

And...their house is also bustling now!
As a result, Aunt Seven's house and Xia Fugui's house were all messed up by Xia Ying!

Gu Tuo and his son looked at her with deep awe in their eyes.
