Gu Changan didn’t say anything. It was useless to say anything more. Then, he asked big brother Gu to get a pen and paper to write down the letter of disclaim. There were four copies, and then three of them put their thumbprints on it.

After that, Gu Changan took the household registration and the letter of disclaim with Gu Qingli and went to town in their family carriage. Then, they went their separate ways. He went directly to the County to get the registration and file.

Gu Qingli also asked him to get the deed for the other house.

The house cost 20 taels of silver, and Gu Qingli gave Gu Changan 23 taels of silver.

The county government couldn’t do anything without money.

Gu Changan was surprised to see Gu Qingli take out so much silver. He asked, “Er Nizi, where did you get so much silver?”

“Second master, don’t worry. This silver is from the herbs we dig and sell every day. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Renhe Medicine Hall.

“Good child!” Gu Changan almost cried. What a good child. She was getting married in three days but took out so much silver just like that.

He had misjudged her. Today, this girl made all the necessary arrangements as soon as she returned. After that, she faced the matter of second brother Gu and cut off their relationship. However, this girl remained calm and focused from the beginning.

It turned out that this girl had always been confident. With these three children, second Gu’s family would become stronger.

Hehe, Gu Changhai, you will regret it one day.

This blind guy treated the fish’s eyes as pearls.

Gu Changan’s mood was not so heavy. He took the silver and left.

Gu Qingli walked to Renhe Hall.

At the entrance of Renhe Hall, Xiao Yunjing’s ox-cart was still there. She went in.

Xiao Yunjing, Da Shuang, and Xiao Shuang were sitting in the lobby, and they all surrounded her when they saw her.

“Second sister, did grandfather and grandmother make things difficult for you?” Asked Da Shuang worriedly.

“No, how is father now?”

Without waiting for Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang to say anything, Xiao Yunjing said, ” Uncle Gu’s leg has been reattached. He might have to stay here for a few days.

As he spoke, he stuffed a Silver note into her hand.

Gu Qingli glanced at the note, which was worth ten taels. She gave it back to him and said, “We have silver. Please wait for me. I’ll go in and see my father. Then we’ll go and eat.

Xiao Yunjing looked at the silver in his hand. Did she think it was too little, or did she have money?

Gu Qingli held the twins’ hands and went to the back of the hall. As soon as she arrived, she heard the doctor talking to Mrs. Wu about the patient’s precautions these days.

“You’re here?” Doctor Shen saw her.

“Yes, how’s my father?”

Doctor Shen: “He was sent here in time. He was bandaged before he came. There’s no big problem. Stay here for half a month before going back.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“We’re so familiar with each other; let’s not talk about this.” Doctor Shen waved his hand.

“Hehe, that’s fine. Remember the money, and I’ll give it to you in the future.”

“You little girl, do you think I’m afraid you’ll go back on your word?”

In the past ten days, Gu Qingli and her brother had gotten along well with Doctor Shen and Xiao Liuzi of the Medicine shop.

“That’s true. Anyway, we’re so familiar with each other. By the way, where’s Xiao Liuzi?”

“He went out to buy groceries. Usually, it’s just the two of us, but your family is included today. I can’t possibly let you go out to eat every day. It’s expensive, but it might not be delicious. Xiao Liuzi’s mother is good at cooking. You can try it later.”

Gu Qingli was very touched. Doctor Shen treated her and her brothers well. “Sure. Is there anything we can help you with?”

“No need. Take good care of your father. Just send him the herbs every day. Now that there is a war at the border, there is a shortage of herbs everywhere.”

AI! This year.

Gu Qingli nodded.

After Doctor Shen left, Gu Qingli sat down next to Mrs. Wu. She asked Da Shuang to tell Xiao Yunjing that they would later have dinner here.

“Mother, you can stay here and care for father for this period. Everything at home has been settled. Gu Qingli said as she held Mrs. Wu’s hand.

Mrs. Wu wiped her eyes, swollen from crying. “Yes, mother will listen to Li ‘er. Li’ er, I’ve let you suffer with mother.”

“Mother, let’s not talk about that. Don’t worry. From now on, our lives will get better and better.”

“En, mother, …mother will believe whatever Li-er says. This time, it’s all thanks to Xiao’s third son. This child is a good one. It’s just that mother has no use for it and can’t give you any dowry.”

“Mother, let’s not talk about this. It’s fine as long as our family is well.”

If she wanted to prepare a dowry, she could even buy the entire County.

Anything in the space could be sold for a sky-high price.

After lunch, she went to the clothing store to buy a set of clothes for the family. She left Mrs. Wu here to keep an eye on them, and the siblings followed Xiao Yunjing back to the village.

“If you need anything, just come to me,” Xiao Yunjing said after they got out of the cart.

Gu Qingli glanced at him and nodded.

After that, the three siblings returned to the Gu family’s courtyard. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw a pile of their family’s junk.

Then, she saw that the door of the west room was locked.

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were dumbfounded.

“Let’s go,” she said. Gu Qingli picked up a hoe and called out to Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.

Da Shuang took the hoe from her, and Gu Qingli put the basket she had thrown away this morning on her back. Then, she went up the mountain with Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.

The two of them remained silent throughout the journey.

After filling the basket, the three siblings went down the mountain and headed to town.

“Second sister, have we been chased out?” On the way, Da Shuang could not help but ask.

“Da Shuang, Xiao Shuang, are you guys scared?”

The two shook their heads.

“That’s good. In the future, our family can live however we want. The Gu family will not bully us anymore.”

“Really?”

“It’s true. It’s more real than real gold. Also, call me big sister in the future. I’m not second sister.”

The two of them nodded, not fully understanding.

The three siblings came to the medicine shop and gave the herbs to Xiao Liuzi for him to itemize. Seeing that their father was much better, the three of them went to stay in the inn.

On the other side, old man Xiao, Mrs. Jiang, and the Xiao Yunjing brothers were sitting in the central room.

After a long while, Mrs. Jiang asked Xiao Yunjing, “Third brother, how’s second uncle Gu? Are you still going to hold your wedding?”

Xiao Yunjing looked up at old man Xiao and the others. “Second uncle Gu’s life is saved. We won’t hold a big wedding. Let’s have a meal with our own family.”

The bride’s father was still lying down, but her husband’s family was making a big fuss. This was not to make the bride proud but to think that the bride had no conscience.

“Alright then.”

She didn’t want to make a big fuss and marry a broken shoe. On the wedding day, she would let third brother take her in.

Old man Xiao and the Xiao men had no objections. As long as third brother said what should be done, it was fine.

They didn’t have the same opinion as Mrs. Jiang. They had seen what happened today. The calmness of the second girl of the Gu family was not something their wives could catch up with.

If today’s matter fell on their heads, they would probably only cry and lose their sense of decency.

It was much better to have such a woman marry into the family than to have those troublemakers.

It was said that a virtuous wife brings less trouble to a virtuous husband.

So what if she was a pair of broken shoes? She wasn’t the one who rushed up to be broken.
