Chapter 893 Turns Out to Be a Fool
Li Zhuang and the two servants were almost vomiting. How old are they? Why are they so embarrassed even if they have a meal?
When Mrs. Zheng saw Li Zhuang coming, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Hey, it's Manager Li who's here, but Mr. Li asked you to come and see Chengzhi? Don't worry Mr. Li, I've raised Chengzhi very well, you see. Look, I’ve gained a lot of weight again.”
While claiming credit, Ms. Zheng looked at the hands of the two servants and saw that each of them was holding a box. She was eager to see what kind of gift was in the box.
Li Zhuang watched Zheng's every move and was extremely disgusted. How could Gu Chengzhi learn well with such a mother?
He blamed Zheng: "Children of aristocratic families and official families pay attention to eating a certain amount of food at every meal. They only need to eat until they are seven-tenths full. Young Master Chengzhi ate until he was full and burped. Why didn't you, the mother-in-law, know how to stop him? Are you still letting him continue eating?"
Instead of being praised, Mrs. Zheng was scolded. She felt unhappy and said, "Brother Zhi was injured by hunger when he was escaping from famine. That's why it tastes delicious. Besides, Brother Zhi is just growing up, no?" How can you grow taller if you eat more? If you are only 70% full, you will starve to death."
Starve to death?
Gu Chengzhi is almost as fat as a pig. Can he starve to death by eating less?
Seeing Zheng's strong words, Li Zhuang had no choice but to take action himself and snatch the big piece of meat from Gu Chengzhi's hand, saying: "Master Chengzhi, don't eat it yet. Your Excellency asked me to pick you up."
"Ahhh! Give me back the meat. If you dare to take my meat, I will let Grandpa Li beat you to death!" Gu Chengzhi hated it when others robbed him of his food. When he saw that the piece of meat in his hand was taken away, his eyes were He showed a fierce light and glared at Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang was shocked, looking at Gu Chengzhi, he always felt that this child was different from his peers... Gu Jincheng from Gu Dashan's family was only eight years old, younger than Gu Chengzhi, but very sensible. I heard from Zhu Liu that when he was in court, he even recited an article from college in front of Mrs. Gu. He was also clean, unlike Gu Chengzhi, who looked sloppy no matter how he cleaned up.
Mrs. Zheng was afraid that Li Zhuang would be suspicious, so she hurriedly took two pieces of meat from the basin on the table and stuffed them to Gu Chengzhi: "Brother Zhi, don't make trouble. Manager Li is doing this for your own good."
When she spoke, her back was to Li Zhuang, and she glared at Gu Chengzhi, warning him not to make trouble, otherwise he would have no meat to eat in the future.
Gu Chengzhi still listened to Zheng's words. He was crying and biting the pieces of meat. After eating one piece, he took two more pieces from the basin and filled his arms with it before he stopped making noises.
Li Zhuang frowned and asked Zheng, "Is Master Chengzhi always like this?"
Zheng's heart pounded, and she quickly smiled and said: "How is it possible? Cheng Zhi is obedient and smart. He was angry when he got up, and you robbed him of his flesh when he got up. That's why he got angry."
He changed the subject again and asked: "Manager Li, you said Mr. Li wants to take Cheng Zhi away. What do you mean by this?"
Li Zhuang suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li said, now the old Gu family only has one healthy child, Master Chengzhi, and there can be no more mistakes. He will take Master Chengzhi back to the Tongzhi Mansion and ask for guidance." .”
After hearing this, Ms. Zheng was a little scared, fearing that Mr. Li would find out something was wrong when Gu Chengzhi went to Tongzhifu.
Li Zhuang saw Zheng's hesitation and directly gave Zheng a thousand taels of silver notes: "Master Li said that you worked hard in raising Master Cheng Zhi, and this is a reward for you. You can also go back to Tongzhifu with Master Cheng Zhi. As for Third Master Lu and others, Mr. Li will use the new house to settle them."
"New house? This house is uninhabitable?" Mrs. Zheng felt a little pity for such a big house.
Li Zhuang said: "What happened to your old Gu family has become known all over the city. Now there are still people outside the door watching the fun. How can we live in it? It is only proper to move out as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zheng loves money, and Mr. Li agreed that she should take care of Gu Chengzhi. He thought that as long as she was more careful, like before, others would not find out that there was something wrong with Chengzhi, so he agreed: "Cheng, I will go and clean up. Follow me." Chengzhi will go there together."
After saying that, he accepted the banknote and dragged Gu Chengzhi to pack his things.
Gu Chengzhi was very angry: "Meat, meat, I haven't finished eating it yet."
"We'll eat later." Mrs. Zheng dragged Gu Chengzhi away.
When they finished packing their things and were about to leave, they met Mr. Gu. She was slapped twice by Mr. Gu: "Bitch, where do you want to take Chengzhi? This is the grandson of my old Gu family! "
Zheng was beaten so hard that she almost fell to the ground, but Gu Chengzhi was still holding the piece of meat and chewing on it, not worried about Zheng at all.
Seeing Mr. Gu beating someone, Li Zhuang hurriedly explained his purpose and asked his servants to open the two boxes: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Li has no intention of taking away Master Chengzhi. It is true that Mr. Chengzhi is still young, and the old Gu family has recently It’s too messy and a child like him is not suitable to live here.”
He also invited Mr. Li to be a civil servant and asked him to teach Gu Chengzhi, so that Gu Chengzhi could take the exams for meritorious service in the future, so that he could be treated as the old man's flattery.
Finally, he said: "Master Li said that you are Master Chengzhi's biological grandfather. You can visit him anytime you want. He just thinks that the old Gu family has been busy recently, so he will help you take care of Master Chengzhi for a while. He will also send him back." of."
Li Zhuang was very good at talking and put Master Li under Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu felt very comfortable and asked, "Does the person named Li really say that?"
Li Zhuang: "That's natural."
Mr. Gu thought that the Li family could still be on good terms with each other. After all, they could rely on their power. After looking at the two boxes of generous gifts and a box of banknotes, he finally agreed: "If it works, let Cheng Zhi go back to live with the prefect first." After a while, I will take Gu Ya and Gu Rong back after I have arranged his marriage."
Then he said to Zheng, "You go too and take good care of Cheng Zhi."
In fact, he was going to keep an eye on him to prevent the Li family from trying to steal his grandson.
"Hey." Mrs. Zheng couldn't get what she wanted.
Li Zhuang also hurriedly thanked him, pretended to be his grandson for a while, and left in a hurry. He took the mule cart at the back door and turned to the street.
The street is already very lively, with many people setting up stalls to sell agricultural products, and there are people everywhere. The mule cart was not easy to move, and it was surprised by an ox cart. The piece of meat in Gu Chengzhi's hand was knocked out and rolled to the ground.
"My meat, my meat!" Like a hungry wolf, Gu Chengzhi jumped out of the mule cart to look for his meat regardless of the danger.
A man who set up a stall to sell agricultural products saw him, smiled and helped him pick up the pieces of meat, patted the dust on it, handed it to him and said: "Young master, here is your meat."
Unfortunately, two pieces of meat were dropped, and the man only picked up one piece. Gu Chengzhi thought he had stolen the other piece of meat. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pounced on the man like a vicious dog, fighting and saying, "Untouchable." , you dare to steal my meat, I’m missing a piece, give it back to me!”
While fighting, he even whined, bit the man's cheek, and tore off a piece of meat from the man's face. While chewing, he smiled with a mouth full of blood: "Hey, two pieces of meat, that's enough." .”
He regarded the meat on the man's face as another piece of meat he had dropped.
