The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night
Chapter 116 Retribution
Gu Yulang knew that before he saw the sweet potatoes in the cellar, nothing he said would seem true.
So he smiled and motioned Wang Maolin to follow him to the three extra-large cellars that the Gu family had dug specifically to store sweet potatoes.
"Please look, sir. These are the sweet potatoes grown from my five mu of thin land."
Wang Maolin looked at the three oversized cellars in front of him in some disbelief!
Don’t others know how much grain can be stored in the cellar? But he, the Minister of Revenue, knows it very well!
In winter, many ingredients have to be stored in cellars. He often goes down to understand the people's sentiments and the reserve materials of the Great Deng Dynasty, and he has a thorough understanding of the cellars!
Wang Maolin couldn't help but tremble. He pinched Xie Yun hard, not quite believing it.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Ouch! Lord Wang, why are you pinching me?!"
Xie Yun screamed in pain, grimacing!
Wang Maolin looked at Xie Yun yelling and said nervously:
"I...I'm really not dreaming! This is real! Sweet potatoes really can produce 40 dan per mu!"
After Wang Maolin finished speaking, he could not help but kowtow in the direction of the palace:
"God has eyes! God bless Great Deng! The people are blessed! Long live our emperor!"
Gu Yiyao: …
Is this man seriously ill? She had worked so hard to produce a sweet potato yield of 40 dan per mu. Even if he had to kneel, he should kneel to her.
She is the one who deserves long live!
Even if it wasn't her, it should be her uncle!
How come all the benefits of the sweet potatoes they planted with so much effort, using soil and manure, went to the dog emperor?!
Wang Maolin was so excited that he could hardly control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes. From now on, no one would starve to death anymore!
From now on, soldiers at the border will no longer face the enemy on an empty stomach!
Their Great Deng will never again have to constantly seek help from other countries for food, and will never be able to hold his head up in front of other countries!
"I...I...I have to go to the palace now! I want to report this great news to the emperor!"
Wang Maolin wiped his tears and stood up, tightly grasping Gu Yulang's arm:
"My dear brother! You come to the palace with me. You are the lucky star of Da Deng. I will make the emperor reward you generously and give you a promotion!"
Gu Yulang looked at Gu Yiyao in surprise. Gu Yiyao smiled and made a cheering gesture to Gu Yulang.
"Come on, uncle, you're the best!"
Seeing his niece's funny movements, Gu Yulang's nervous mood suddenly calmed down.
Yes, my niece has done so much for me, I must not embarrass her. I must try my best to seize every opportunity and become her pride and support!
Thinking of this, Gu Yulang was no longer nervous and regained his usual calm expression:
"Everything must be obeyed by the adults!"
"From now on you are my good brother. I am a few years older than you. My name is Ji Zhen, so you can call me Brother Ji Zhen from now on!"
Wang Maolin acted like a good brother. He put his arm around Gu Yulang's shoulder and pulled him towards the entrance of Gujia Village!
When he came, he had a carriage, but as soon as he entered the territory of Gujia Village, Xie Tingzhou pulled him out of the carriage, saying that walking more was good for health, and insisted that he walk to the door of the Gu family!
However, not only will he not hold a grudge against Xie Tingzhou, he will be very grateful to him!
So the Gu family watched Wang Maolin hurriedly drag Gu Yulang away, and Gu Xiucai looked at Xie Tingzhou:
"This……"
Xie Tingzhou knew that his father-in-law was worried that his elder brother-in-law would get into trouble in the palace, so he said very considerately:
"I will follow Lord Wang into the palace right now. Father-in-law, please rest assured. Lord Wang is the Minister of Revenue and is deeply trusted by the Emperor. It will be fine for you to follow him."
Gu Xiucai felt a little relieved after getting Xie Tingzhou's approval.
Although he was a wise old man, he had not seen much of the world after all. When he saw his son was going to the palace to meet the emperor, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
After Xie Tingzhou comforted his father-in-law, he took a look into the house and got on the carriage and left.
Only the Gu family members who were still a little dazed were left.
"My dear girl, your uncle will not be beheaded if he goes to the palace to see the emperor, right?"
Yang was somewhat at a loss, as all her knowledge of the emperor in the capital came from hearsay. She only knew that the emperor would chop off people's heads to vent his anger when he was unhappy!
"Aunt, don't worry, not only will my uncle be fine, he will also receive a reward from the emperor!"
Gu Yiyao was much calmer.
Judging from Wang Maolin’s excited performance just now, things were going much more smoothly than she had imagined.
She had originally planned to announce the 40-dan-per-acre sweet potato yield when her uncle was taking the imperial examination, when the issue involved people's livelihood.
In this way, even if the examiner does not believe it, he will definitely verify it personally. It is a good thing that Xie Tingzhou has brought this person here!
Now that the eldest uncle could show up in front of the emperor in advance, the Gu family could be said to have a place in the capital.
.....
Lin Zhixue sat in the study with a gloomy face.
For some reason today, the people from Yang Chenghou's faction, who had always treated him with courtesy, were not as polite to him as before?
He was a farmer's son who had a seat in the court and was always good at observing people's words and expressions. He didn't believe that all these people had betrayed Marquis Yang Cheng. There was only one possibility: his father-in-law had given up on him!
But how is this possible!
I am his son-in-law!
So what exactly happened today?
Lin Zhixue's face became more and more ugly. Why has he always had so many bad lucks recently?
Not only was he unlucky in the court, but also at home. For some reason, his body would ache so much on the 15th that he could not sleep all night long!
He saw many doctors but none of them worked and he spent a lot of money, which made his already tight financial situation even more difficult!
Lin Zhixue's mood had hit rock bottom, and he locked himself in the study as soon as the morning came.
He couldn't figure out the key to this, so he simply stopped thinking about it and stood up and went to Luo Jiaojiao's Piaomiao Courtyard.
In Piaomiao Courtyard, Luo Jiaojiao was getting angry. That damn miracle doctor hadn't been found yet. She looked so disfigured!
Not to mention others, even if I accidentally see myself in the mirror I can’t help but feel sick!
"Go! Tell his servant that if he doesn't come back I'll kill his whole family! And burn down his clinic!"
Luo Jiaojiao touched her face and yelled at Nanny Li fiercely!
Upon hearing this, Nanny Li quickly retreated.
She knew that the lady would not listen to anything she said now.
It’s strange that the lady’s beautiful face suddenly turned rotten for some reason!
Suddenly, Nanny Li remembered that since her madam was a child, she would scratch the face of any woman who was prettier than herself and of humble origin without hesitation.
Now isn't it... retribution?
Nanny Li quickly shook her head and kept chanting "Amitabha, Amitabha!"
