The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Qi Yuanxiu's eyes flashed coldly: "It just so happens, I also hate betrayers very much. If no one betrayed Ah Shuo and I, we would never have fallen to this point."

"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?" Gu Qinghuai raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Without waiting for Qi Yuanxiu to answer, Qi Yuanshuo said, "You can't!"

"How do you know I can't?" Gu Qinghuai looked at him steadily.

Qi Yuanxiu also looked at his younger brother.

In fact, he noticed as soon as he arrived that Ah Shuo treated Qinghuai girl very differently.

In the past, Ah Shuo avoided women as much as possible. Even the servants serving him were all eunuchs. He didn't even have a palace maid.

He said that since he grew up, all the women he had seen, except his imperial sister and his mother, were mediocre and vulgar, and he didn't want to have anything to do with them.

But in front of Qinghuai, Ah Shuo was like a shy puppy who wanted to please her, and he was clingy without even realizing it.

Qi Yuanxiu had to admit that his brother had very good taste. Sister Qinghuai was indeed very different from ordinary women. In addition to her beauty that could not be concealed by her plain clothes and hairpins, she also had knowledge and bearing that were not inferior to men.

Especially those eyes, which were clear, direct, and domineering. When they looked at you straight, there was no place to hide. It would be difficult to find a second person like her in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Qinghuai is a few years older than his brother, and has been married with children. In terms of age and experience, the two are not a good match.

However, the younger brother is only thirteen years old, and he should have developed some kind of dependence on his older sister who is a few years older than him. When he grows up, that dependence will naturally disappear.

The emotions of young people are too uncertain.

Not to mention whether Sister Qinghuai is suitable for my brother, given their current situation, it is not suitable for them to get married and have children.

How dare you show weakness when your great revenge has not yet been taken?

Qi Yuanshuo looked at Gu Qinghuai and said every word sincerely: "You are not that kind of person, and neither are your family members."

Gu Qinghuai looked up and met Qi Yuanshuo's gaze. The young man's eyes were bright and burning, making Gu Qinghuai dazed for a moment.

She quickly retracted her gaze, raised her hand and patted Qi Yuanshuo on the shoulder, and said with a laugh: "Little Stone, it's worth it that your sister is so good to you. You have a conscience."

Qi Yuanshuo lowered his eyes and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"I also believe in Sister Qinghuai. If Sister Qinghuai wanted to betray us, she wouldn't have to wait until now," Qi Yuanxiu took in the subtle interaction between the two.

The silly little brother is in love for the first time.

Gu Qinghuai joked, "Brother Ren, thank you for your trust. Actually, I took you in just because I wanted to have more strong laborers at home. Brother Ren, you can farm, right?"

Qi Yuanxiu laughed: "Sister Qinghuai, I can learn. Even though I have a lame leg, I have plenty of strength. I have done all kinds of heavy work in Beilu County. From now on, the heavy work at home will be left to us two brothers."

"Okay, no problem," Gu Qinghuai said. She looked at Qi Yuanxiu's lame leg and asked, "Brother Ren, can your leg be cured?"

Qi Yuanxiu looked somewhat lonely and sighed slightly: "When that man broke my leg, he found a doctor. The doctor said that a bone in my right leg was broken and could not be healed."

Gu Qinghuai said, "Brother Aren, I am learning how to make medicine. Maybe I can make some pills and see if I can cure your leg."

Qi Yuanxiu's eyes lit up, "Thank you very much, Sister Qinghuai!"

Qinghuai girl’s pills can cure Xiaohuo’s eyes, and maybe they can also cure his legs!

[Congratulations to the host for receiving 100 points of male admiration, with a total admiration score of 923 points]

Qi Yuanshuo raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, hiding the strange look in his eyes.

He knew that Sister Xiaohuai had actually just started reading pharmaceutical books and didn't make medicine on a regular basis, so he didn't know where her pills came from.

But that doesn't matter, what matters is that those pills really work.

Sister Xiaohuai has her own secrets, and he is willing to cover for her and protect her secrets.

Gu Qinghuai planned to buy Qi Yuanxiu a pill to treat his leg injury after accumulating 10,000 points. This would not only reduce the risk of exposing his identity, but also provide the family with an extra strong laborer.

Dad's medicine will have to be postponed for a while.

The next day is an auspicious day for raising the beam of the new house.

The custom in Qinghe County is that a beam-raising ceremony must be held when all new houses are completed, implying peace and prosperity in the family and health for the descendants.

Except for Qi Yuanxiu who wanted to avoid the crowd, everyone in Gu Laosi's family put on clean and tidy clothes and stood in front of the main door of the new house.

Festive red silk flowers and five-colored threads were tied to the main beam, and a long string of firecrackers was hung above the door edge.

Before noon, the new house was already surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.

The children, all wearing clothes with cloth pockets, were scrambling to squeeze forward, trying to grab the most advantageous position, because when the firecrackers went off, the men from Gu Laosi's family would throw candies towards the villagers.

They had heard long ago that Gu Qinghuai bought two large bamboo baskets of candies, specifically to be used as auspicious fruits for the new house's beam raising ceremony.

The children in the Gu family's old house all had broken legs and were very afraid of Gu Qinghuai, so of course they didn't dare to come over to grab the candy. But they were very greedy and didn't want to miss this opportunity to eat free candy, so they had to push Gu Qixing and ask him to come out to help them grab it.

The Li family sent Li Bai and Li Ye.

The children who knew the grudges between the families pointed at Gu Qixing and Li Bai and scolded them for being thick-skinned. They had already made such a big fuss with Gu Laosi's family, and yet they still had the nerve to snatch other people's candy?

However, for little kids, candy is far more attractive than self-esteem. Gu Qixing and Li Bai did not back down after being scolded. They still squeezed in the crowd grabbing candy, ready to go.

Children are the main force in grabbing candy, while adults are the mainstream spectators who come to watch the fun and chat about gossip.

"Hey, who are that old woman and that black man? Are they poor relatives who came here to take advantage of the fourth brother's family because they saw that he had made a fortune?"

"Hey, what are you looking at? Don't you see that the old woman, the black man and Zhao Ying look a lot like each other? They are Zhao Ying's mother and brother!"

"Tsk tsk, Zhao Ying is really a cash cow for her parents' family. As the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she doesn't care about her parents-in-law, but lets her parents' family suck her blood!"

Shao Cuihuan and Shao He were standing in the crowd. After hearing Ma Youqin's sarcastic words, they turned around and glared at her fiercely.

Shao Cuihuan scolded, "Ma Youqin, are you mentally ill? Are you blind? Can't you see how those poisonous snakes in the Gu family's old house treated the Fourth House? At the beginning, they saw that the Fourth House had lost power and ruthlessly drove the Fourth House out, and even said with their own mouths that they would have nothing to do with the Fourth House in the future!"

"Yes, Ma Youqin, you are talking nonsense, be careful that Gu Qinghuai smashes your mouth and breaks your legs! The old mansion of the Gu family is ruthless and ungrateful to the fourth room, so why should the fourth room flatter them and be nice to them?"

"Yes, we have separated and severed our relationship a long time ago, what are you talking about now? People's affection is mutual. The fourth family of Gu Lao is willing to take care of Grandma Kuhua in her old age and don't want to take care of the old house of the Gu family. Isn't it because Grandma Kuhua treats the fourth room well?"

Ma Youqin was so annoyed by the women around her that she dared not speak anymore.

She looked towards the fourth branch of the Gu family with reluctance.

The guy named Xiao Shitou is so handsome, but unfortunately he is too young and cruel, so he is not suitable for Fengxia.

Ma Youqin's gaze fell on Gu Qingshan who was sitting in the wheelchair again.

She suddenly felt that Gu Qingshan's back was straight and he was full of energy, not like a paraplegic at all.
