Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 72 I'm lazy, I can't do it!
This is also true.

Gu Lianshan nodded and said, "We are not the kind of people with bad hearts. We know that they are waiting for money to donate to become officials, so we did not delay them and took care of it today.

If they have bad intentions and can't stand seeing others doing well, they'll probably drag it out for a few days until they get angry and take a bite out of the person! "

Gu Tang remained silent. What she had just said was just talk. In fact, no one dared to do that.

After all, if they really did that, the two families would probably become enemies.

When Mr. Zhao's son becomes an official, will the family that bought this yard be in a good situation?
I guess it is because of this that people who want to buy the yard but want to lower the price dare not show up, so they let the yard remain listed and wait for Mr. Zhao to lower the price himself.

"His son will soon be an official. Don't say that again. Our family should not have any dealings with the Zhao family. How many of those who donate money to become officials are good people?
They are all trying to plunder the people, only caring about making a fortune for themselves, and they don't care about the lives of us ordinary people!"

Gu Lianshan is a native of this place, and he was deeply touched by what Gu Tang said.

Whenever a county magistrate is replaced, the first thing the new official does is to collect taxes!
There are all kinds of tax items, all over the place. There is nothing they can't do, except what you can't think of!
Thinking of these things, Gu Lianshan's favorable impression of Mr. Zhao instantly dropped.

"He will be an official in the future, so why would he have anything to do with us? You're worrying too much. He won't look down on our family."

Gu Tang frowned slightly, looking down on him?

Hope so.

"Don't worry, I've noticed that you don't like Mr. Zhao. Even if we meet again in the future, I'll make sure you stay away from him and don't have anything to do with him."

After calming Gu Tang down, Gu Lianshan pointed at the rooms and said, "This house hasn't been occupied for a long time, and it's covered in dust! While we still have time today, I'll go outside and see if there's a well. I'll fetch some water and clean this house thoroughly inside and out."

Scrubbing the yard?!
With such a big yard, if there are only three of them working on it, how long will it take them to finish?
Gu Tang shook his head: "I'm lazy! I won't do it! If I do this, I'll be exhausted to death! I'll take the copper coins and go find a few neighboring women to help."

Gu Lianshan paused. He was lazy and didn't want to do it!

"Well! That's right, this yard is a bit big. We don't have the time to do it. Let's find someone to do it."

There is a back door on the third courtyard side. Going out of the back door, there is a spacious alley behind it, with houses living around it.

Probably because it was cold, many families had their doors closed, and only one family had its gate open.

Gu Tang took two steps forward and saw an old woman sitting on the steps at the door. She was wearing a thin, gray linen dress with patches on top of patches.

After taking a closer look, I found that although the old woman was thin, her face was very kind.

A dog came from nowhere, covered in dirt. When it passed by the old woman, the old woman did not look down on it. Instead, she smiled and stepped back.

People who are kind to animals are probably not bad-hearted people.

Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes, signaling her father to go forward and invite someone.

Gu Lianshan was not very satisfied. "At her age, can she do this?"

"Who told you to ask her to do it?"

Gu Tang was helpless: "We just arrived here and are unfamiliar with the place, so we can only ask her to help find a few honest women and men to come over and help fetch water and clean the yard. We don't want her to work in vain, so we will give her five copper coins as a thank you." So that's how it is.

Gu Lianshan suddenly realized something and walked over to ask for help.

The old woman's maiden name is Sun and her husband's surname is Ding. Everyone in this alley calls her Aunt Ding.

He was sitting at the door for no other reason than waiting for his grandson to get home from work.

This was her grandson's first time going to work, and she had been worried and missing him since morning.

There were all kinds of people coming and going in that inn. If her grandson offended any of the masters, he would probably suffer.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Aunt Ding was waiting anxiously.

But who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, instead of waiting for his grandson, he got a job that could earn him a few pennies.

"Sir, is what you just said true?" Aunt Ding stood up tremblingly, hunching her back timidly, and kept wiping her skinny hands on the hem of her clothes, her palms full of sweat.

Being addressed as "Master" by an old woman who was older than his own mother, Gu Lianshan became furious.

He is not a master at all, he just benefits from his daughter's influence.

"My last name is Gu, and I'm the second oldest child in the family. Everyone calls me Gu Lao Er, so you can call me that, too. You don't have to call me 'Master'."

As he spoke, Gu Lianshan pointed to the yard not far away and said, "That yard is my home. We are about to buy it, but we haven't moved in yet.

It's just that the yard hasn't been lived in for a while, and it's a mess. I thought of hiring someone to help clean it up. It's not a waste of time, we'll pay for it."

After confirming that this was true, Aunt Ding's cloudy eyes sparkled with light.

Gu Lianshan continued, "We are unfamiliar with this area and have no way of finding anyone. It just so happened that my daughter saw you just now. She said you looked familiar and that you were a good person, so she asked me to come find you.

I'd like to ask you to help find some honest and kind people to come over. Five women to clean the place and two men to carry water. I'll give them five copper coins each, and you too. I'll give you five copper coins as a token of my appreciation for your trouble."

Aunt Ding was so happy at this that she grinned, revealing several yellow teeth that were missing.

She bowed repeatedly to Gu Lianshan: "Master Gu is kind-hearted! If you don't mind, please let my daughter-in-law and sons go over to help clean up, okay?
Although my wife and son are stupid, they are honest and kind, and can do these cleaning chores. I don't want my five copper coins, just give my wife and son five cents each."

Gu Lianshan didn't care who he asked to clean, as long as the person was honest and kind. But the yard was big, and he didn't know how many daughters-in-law and sons this old lady had.
"My yard is quite large. We're waiting to move in. If there aren't enough people, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it..."

"I have three sons, and with their wives, there are six of us. There are also a few grandchildren in the house. I also asked them to come and help. I don't need to pay them, just ask them to help out."

Aunt Ding smiled apologetically, looking extremely reserved, fearing that her request was too excessive and would anger Mr. Gu.

Having said that, Gu Lianshan had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and asked Aunt Ding to go back and call his wife and son to go with him right away.

Aunt Ding was overjoyed. She bowed to Gu Lianshan again and turned to walk into the yard.

After a while, he came out quickly with his wife and sons, followed by a group of boys.
