Chapter 1314 Another Chaos
Luo Huiniang shook her head and said: "Although he is down and out, he still has a lot of aura... We used to think that he was fierce, but now that we think about it, that is the aura of a person, which shows that he has a high background."
Luo Huiniang paused for a while and listened to the movements outside. After hearing the footsteps gradually disappearing, she continued: "I have always paid attention to family status. Since he was born in a high family, he wanted to marry a noble family." A woman should do that, Xiaoyu, don't say that to him. If it's about whether he's worthy or not, no matter where you go, I'm not worthy."
Gu Jinli was shocked. She knew that Luo Huiniang liked Qin Erlang, but she had never thought that she liked him so humbly.
Gu Jinli felt sorry for Luo Huiniang, but he was also angry that she had placed her position in such a humble position: "Huiniang, you don't owe him anything, you don't have to be so humble."
Luo Huiniang shook her head: "No, I owe him my life. He saved me. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago."
Gu Jinli choked and was speechless. She suppressed her anger, held Luo Huiniang's hand, sat down with her, and asked: "Then what do you want now? Just keep waiting for him like this. ?”
After hearing this, Luo Huiniang looked up at her and said, "Xiaoyu, do you think I can live a happy life by myself if I set up a female household and adopt a few children in the future?"
Gu Jinli: "If you don't want to get married, you can indeed set up a female household to live, but you can't do it just because you want to wait for Qin Erlang to come back... Huiniang, if he likes you, just pay it off, but we all know that he doesn't have it in his heart at all. Is it worth it for you to do this?"
Luo Huiniang lowered her head. After a while, she heard a burst of sobs. She cried: "I don't know...but I can't marry someone else. When I think of spending my whole life with other men and sleeping together, I would rather I was the one who died in the first place."
Gu Jinli likes Qin Sanlang. She will get married because that person is Qin Sanlang. If it were anyone else, she would not marry and would only live with money for the rest of her life.
So she knew Luo Huiniang's pain very well, so she hugged her and comforted her: "Don't cry... but you have to remember, don't harm yourself for the rest of your life because of a man who doesn't like you."
Afraid that Luo Huiniang might not hear, he said it again and finally asked: "Huiniang, did you hear it?"
Luo Huiniang cried and nodded: "I heard it, I know you are doing it for my own good..."
But she just likes Brother Qin.
After hearing this, Gu Jinli let her cry. After she stopped crying, he said: "Nowadays, even if you don't want to get married, don't set up a female household. My eldest sister is your sister-in-law. What kind of temper does she have?" You know very well that I won’t have a problem raising you for the rest of my life. Just stay at home with peace of mind. My eldest sister, your eldest brother, your parents, all of us will not dislike you and are willing to raise you for the rest of your life."
"Xiaoyu..." After hearing this, Luo Huiniang cried again and hugged Gu Jinli: "Ooooh, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you are so good to me."
Gu Jinli smiled: "Just so so, this is called reward. When I was young, you saved us many times in my hometown."
Every time they were beaten by people from the old Gu family, Hui Niang would immediately rush to save them when she saw or heard about them. She even fought with Mrs. Gu with a pole, and when she escaped, she even took a hatchet. Protected the eldest sister and Brother Cheng.
"Okay, don't cry. If your eyes get swollen later, your mother will scold you again." Gu Jinli stood up, washed a handkerchief with cold water, and handed it to Luo Huiniang to apply to her eyes.
Luo Huiniang covered her face with a cold handkerchief, sat in a chair, raised her head, and asked: "...Xiaoyu, is second brother Qin okay? Is he, is he married? What are you doing now?"
Worried that Gu Jinli would be angry, he hurriedly said, "I'm not asking for anything, I just want to know if he is doing well?"
Gu Jinli said: "This is the path he chose. Naturally, he is more comfortable than when he was in Dafeng Village. As for whether he is married or not? What is he doing now? I don't know. He hasn't been with Brother Qin for several years. Contact, we just know he's alive."
After hearing this, Luo Huiniang's voice was filled with sobs and joy: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
All she wants is that Brother Qin is still alive.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Luo Huiniang took off her veil, pointed at her eyes and asked Gu Jinli, "Are you feeling better?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "It's much better. When you get up tomorrow, massage your upper eyelids. The swelling will subside in more than a quarter of an hour."
After a person has cried, his eyes will be swollen when he wakes up the next day, but the water can be removed by just massaging the upper eyelids.
Luo Huiniang nodded and said, "Okay."
"Let's go, it's time for dinner. If we don't go out, someone will call us to eat soon." Gu Jinli stood up and pulled Luo Huiniang out of the house.
As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Jinxiu standing at the opposite door.
Gu Jinxiu was very worried about Luo Huiniang, but she knew that Xiaoyu had a secret message to Huiniang that she could not get there, so she stood in front of her room and waited.
"Sister-in-law!" Luo Huiniang shouted, ran towards Gu Jinxiu, hugged her and asked, "If I stay at home for the rest of my life, will my sister-in-law dislike me?"
Gu Jinxiu smiled, hugged her, patted her back gently, and said, "That's Huiniang's home. If you stay in your own home for the rest of your life, no one can say anything. We won't dislike you."
After hearing this, Luo Huiniang felt like crying again. Gu Jinli said hurriedly: "Stop crying now. If you cry again, when you get to the dining room, the third grandma, my mother, and your mother will all have to take turns asking questions."
"Yes, yes, you can't cry, otherwise you will be in trouble. Let's go eat. My family came back hungry." Luo Huiniang put away her tears, held the hands of Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli, and went to the dining room.
In the dining room, the food was already prepared. Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Cui were very happy to see them coming in hand in hand.
Ms. Cui greeted them: "Come over and eat."
Gu Jinli didn't see Gu Jinan and asked, "Mom, isn't eldest brother back yet?"
Mrs. Cui nodded: "Yes, I sent that boy Feng Lian back to deliver a message, saying that he had gone to the county seat. Once the recruitment order came out, I was afraid there would be chaos again. He and Mr. Ouyang went to the county seat to see the county magistrate. Mom doesn’t understand what you’re talking about about setting up defenses. Anyway, I won’t be able to come back tonight.”
Luo Wu kept looking at Gu Jinxiu. After Cui finished speaking, he said: "Once the conscription order spreads, those families with two boys in the family will definitely make a fuss. I will also rush there tomorrow morning." Go back to the Yamen."
Luo Wu already knew the contents of the conscription order. The emperor actually made the conscription order look like a corvee. Every household was required to send a man to serve as a soldier. If he did not want to be a soldier, he had to pay five taels of silver.
This is five taels of silver!
This year we have already collected more than double the tax, as well as the war tax. Now at the end of the year, how can an ordinary farmer still have five taels of silver left?
Once the news spreads, it will be difficult not to think about it.
After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu said: "Yes, I understand. Brother Luo Wu, don't worry. I will take good care of myself at home."
After hearing this, Luo Wu laughed and helped set the meal.
As expected, before Luo Wu went to the county seat the next day, word of the conscription order spread, and the village was in an uproar.
