The people in the Gu family’s old house were very angry.

Liu Damai threw things and cursed: "You shameless little whore, you widow, you took advantage of me for nothing! I got a hundred-year-old ginseng, but you didn't know how to use it to honor your grandparents! Even if we split up, I'm still your grandma! Even if my bones are broken, my tendons are still connected!"

The first and third wives were jealous to the point of madness.

Humph, Gu Laosi, an idiot; Gu Qingshan, a paralytic; Gu Qinghuai, a widow and a jinx... How can such a ragtag family deserve a hundred-year-old ginseng!

The two families became angrier and angrier the more they thought about it, so they got together and discussed quietly that they had to find an opportunity to secretly go to Gu Laosi's house and look around, in order to get the money from selling ginseng into their own hands.

After the second wife was separated, all the housework fell on the first and third wives.

During the day, the two rooms were still arguing about who did more and who did less, but at night they united again because of their common "ideals".

Li Dayong's family was also shocked.

Li Tao became even more worried.

Could it be that this little bitch Gu Qinghuai has some good luck?

So should she go to Liu Damai to ask for the betrothal money back?

This is not the only turmoil caused by one ginseng root.

The next day, many people went into the mountains together.

People die for money, birds die for food. If that young widow Gu Qinghuai could dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng, why couldn't they?

Gu Qinghuai didn't care about these things in the village. Early in the morning, she took thirty big crickets and Xiao Shitou to the county town.

Last night she got another 500 points from Meng's house. She used 100 points to buy a simple loudspeaker and 50 points to buy a pack of medicine to increase the crickets' fighting power.

There are 373 points left in the system.

Crickets usually emerge from the ground around the 15th day of the third lunar month and grow up around the 15th day of the sixth lunar month. Now is the end of June, and the crickets have just grown up.

But crickets only have a lifespan of three months. They usually die around late September to mid-October each year, so the cricket selling business only lasts for seven or eight months.

Since time is short, we have to win by quality and quantity. Therefore, Gu Qinghuai decided to use drugs to enhance the crickets' fighting power, and the effect of the drug can last for a month.

These crickets are very aggressive and cannot be kept together. Gu Qingshan helped to weave thirty fist-sized bamboo cages in one night, with one cricket in each cage.

Qi Yuanshuo carried thirty small bamboo baskets, which attracted the attention of passers-by on the street. They all thought he was selling small bamboo baskets.

Many children thought the bamboo cage was exquisite and cute and asked their parents to buy it, but Qi Yuanshuo decisively refused.

Gu Qinghuai also attracted a lot of attention because she was wearing something that looked like a giant morning glory flower.

Many people have never seen that thing and find it strange.

Qi Yuanshuo was also very curious: "Sister Xiaohuai, what is this?"

Gu Qinghuai looked mysterious: "For quarreling."

quarrel?

Do you need auxiliary tools when you quarrel?

But who is she going to quarrel with today?

With him as a personal bodyguard, is there any need to quarrel? A few punches can solve the problem.

When they arrived behind the county government office, they saw the "Shu Mansion" as expected.

Seeing the two men dressed in mud, the doorman wanted to chase them away. However, when he heard that they were looking for the eldest young master, he was so scared that he immediately ran to report.

The eldest young master is a well-known devil in the county and the firecracker of the Shu family. He dare not provoke him.

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo were waiting outside the gate.

As soon as the doorman left, another door was opened again.

Two little girls who looked like maids came out first and stood respectfully on both sides of the door.

Among them, a slightly taller maid opened an oil-paper umbrella and stretched it forward.

The shorter one stretched out his arm to serve as a handrail for the person who was about to walk out from behind the door.

Gu Qinghuai saw a snow-white, soft hand stretched out from the door and rested on the wrist of the short maid, and then the owner of the hand raised her foot and walked out of the door.

She was a girl wearing a white tube top dress, about twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl wore pearls and jade on her head, had a fair complexion, thin eyebrows and willow-like eyes, and her appearance and posture were rather delicate. At first glance, she was obviously a young lady from a wealthy family.

Just as the girl was about to step towards the carriage in front of the door, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two people standing beside the gate.

Gu Qinghuai was wearing a linen robe and a straw hairpin, looking calm and composed, while Qi Yuanshuo wore a tattered straw hat that obscured his handsome face.

No matter how you look at it, these two people are out of place in the rich and powerful families.

"Where did you come from, beggar? Do you think you can stand at the gate of the county magistrate's house? Get away!" The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of disgust on her face. She deliberately raised her hand and fanned her nose, as if the two people next to her were emitting a foul odor.

Gu Qinghuai rolled his eyes at her, snorted disdainfully, and ignored her.

If it weren't for the crickets in the bamboo cage, she would never tolerate this weakling.

Qi Yuanshuo also turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, standing there motionless.

Seeing that the two men ignored her orders, the girl became so angry that her face turned pale. She was about to order her followers to drive them away when a sarcastic voice rang out.

"The eldest daughter of the county magistrate, who are you calling a beggar again?" The door opened wide and a tall red figure walked out.

The bright red brocade robe was so bright and dazzling in the sunlight that it was almost blinding.

Who else could it be but Shu Mingzong who is dressed so flashily?

When the girl saw Shu Mingzong, a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes: "Oh, so these beggars are big brother's friends. No wonder they dare to act so presumptuous in front of the county magistrate's house."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap hit the girl's face.

"Shu Hongxue! As the daughter of a county magistrate, you eat the emperor's salary and the people's fat, but you have no emperor in your heart and no people in your eyes! How dare you look down on the common people. When you see people in simple clothes, you call them beggars. You have no manners at all. As your brother, I can only teach you a lesson on behalf of the old man!" Shu Mingzong cursed while taking out a handkerchief and wiping the hand that had just slapped someone in the face with disgust.

Shu Hongxue was slapped in public and was shaking with anger: "Shu Mingzong, you... you dare to hit me! I... I'll tell Daddy!"

Shu Mingzong said disdainfully: "Go ahead and see if the old man will beat you to death!"

Shu Hongxue thought of the words Shu Mingzong had just used to scold her, and she felt a little scared.

Every time this brother beat her, he liked to flatter her.

This time he scolded her for having no loyalty to the emperor and no regard for the people. If she dared to go to Daddy to complain, and if Daddy dared to punish her, he would turn around and write a letter of denunciation and personally hand it to Daddy's superior.

This deadbeat and dissolute playboy didn't care about the future of the Shu family and his father at all. Even if the entire Shu family was destroyed, he wouldn't even blink an eye.

"You are my brother after all, why do you help outsiders bully me?" Shu Hongxue stomped his feet and started to cry.

Shu Mingzong pretended to vomit and vomited, mockingly saying, "Who is your brother? I don't have a sister like you who is not presentable! Your real brother is Shu Hongming!"
