Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 87
No one in the Gu family wanted to move, and in the end they really didn't move.

But when they saw others bringing back big bundles, they became jealous again.

With so many wild onions and vegetables, even if you just put them in the pot and cook them casually, it would be better than eating the rotten steamed bun.

At this time, it was already getting dark, and Xu Huizhen said, "Since there are wild vegetables here that can be dug and eaten, then you should go and dig them up quickly."

"Mother, it's almost dark and we can't see the ground clearly. Why don't we ask my eldest brother to go see what prey my third brother has caught? Maybe we can have a good meal there."

"It's been such a long time, and he hasn't come back yet. He must have caught nothing. Instead of relying on him, you might as well go dig some wild vegetables. Do you really want me, an old lady, to go there myself?" Xu Huizhen didn't think that Gu Kaiyuan had the ability to get prey from the mountains.

Although Liu Yun and the others didn't want to move, they knew that what Xu Huizhen said made sense, so they all stood up and walked towards the mountain.

When I got there, I was dumbfounded.

This originally green land has been dug up and is full of potholes. Where should they start?

Xu Yulan can be said to have grown up in the countryside, so of course she knows which wild vegetables are edible.

I just haven't done it for many years and I'm too lazy to do it.

Now I was hungry, but seeing these foods, of course I was very motivated. I directed the whole family to walk further and picked a sample for each of them. "These are wild onions. Everyone, hurry up and help. If it gets darker, we won't be able to see anything."

With only a torch, the work would be even more tiring.

Xu Huizhen and Gu Baijiang, who stayed on the ox cart, were fed up with each other.

Especially Gu Baijiang's burned face, which was reflected by the firelight, made people feel a little scared.

"How much silver do you have hidden on you?" This is the question Xu Huizhen is most concerned about.

"It's not much, just two hundred taels of silver notes." Gu Baijiang knew Xu Huizhen's character very well. If he didn't explain it to her clearly, she would definitely make a fuss again.

Besides not wanting to be laughed at, he also didn't want to deal with it again.

"Only two hundred taels?"

"You are so arrogant. If I ask you to hide it, do you have a tael of silver?"

"..."

"Then you can leave the banknotes to me, and I, the mistress of the house, should take care of the food and drinks along the way.

What do you know about the trivialities of life?

"Am I not as good as a foolish woman like you?" Gu Baijiang refused to hand over the silver no matter what. He didn't notice that his son and daughter-in-law had treated him much better since he took out the banknote.

"Since you despise me, why didn't you divorce me? Go and marry your wife, Mrs. Li.

I know I am old and ugly now, so it is normal that you look down on me, but you should give me the respect I deserve.

You don't want your son to be resentful towards you in the future, do you?
Besides, I control the money and I will use it for our children and grandchildren.

But you are not sure, who knows when we get there, will you still have some tricks up your sleeve and give me a mistress again?"

Gu Baijiang refused to budge, "First, use up the money you have, and I'll give it to you when you need it.

Also, now that my son and his family are not around, I have to have a serious talk with you. Can you please not mention this matter again in the future?" "What's the matter? Are you feeling guilty?
You can do it, so why should I say it’s amazing?”

"Don't stare at me. This is not the Gu Mansion, and you are not Minister Gu. Our family is in this state because of you.

Even if you are a corrupt official, you won't use the money you embezzled for my son and me, so why should I be nice to you? "

Gu Baijiang really wanted to strangle the woman in front of him at this moment. Even if he had embezzled money, could he always bring this matter up?

Without his salary, could she, the Xu family, support the family?

"I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with the Li family. Things in the court change rapidly. If I had known this outcome would happen, I would have made preparations in advance.

You keep dwelling on that matter, only to make others laugh at you."

"I don't understand, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid. Why did those men in black come after you alone? It can't be for no reason, or they recognized the wrong person, right?" Xu Huizhen was even wondering how much Gu Baijiang had embezzled to be hunted down to this extent?
How much silver would that be? If it were given to her, and she could live a good life for a few years, she would accept it.

In the end, she didn't gain any advantage, but instead had to suffer. How could she swallow this?
"Did you hide the money you embezzled?" Xu Huizhen looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and asked with certainty.

Gu Baijiang's pupils shrank. If even Xu Huizhen could guess it, then did others have the same guess?

"We are husband and wife after all, don't you believe me?"

Gu Baijiang turned his head away. It was because he didn't believe it that he didn't dare to take an extra ounce of silver home over the years, otherwise it would all be a contribution to the Xu family in the end.

"You always said I was helping my parents before," Xu Huizhen saw through his thoughts, "Now the Xu family is so far away from me, can I still run back to give them money?

Besides, they didn't come to see me off this time, which made me feel a little disappointed. From now on, all our money will definitely be left to our children."

Speaking of children, she suddenly remembered that she was so busy catching the concubine that she forgot to check whether Li had given birth to a child?
"How many children did your concubine bear for you? Did you leave all your money to them?"

The more Xu Huizhen thought about it, the worse her expression became. She pointed at Gu Baijiang and said, "You are not a human being..."

Hearing Xu Huizhen cursing like a shrew again, Gu Baijiang closed his eyes. The good reputation he had worked so hard to maintain was now completely ruined.

Even if he could cure his face and enter the court in the future, his colleagues would still say behind his back that he was hypocritical.

How on earth did this damn woman know about this?
Could it be that the boss and the others let it slip? They are just idiots.

"Stop scolding me," Gu Baijiang couldn't stand it any longer. "Besides our three sons, I don't have any other descendants. Are you satisfied now?"

He wanted Li to help him give birth to a few children, but for some reason, it never happened.

However, he already had three legitimate sons, so he was not so demanding about having offspring.

"That's good," Xu Huizhen had been staring at Gu Baijiang. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Gu Baijiang really left his money to the children outside, she would be so angry that she would die.

Although she didn't get the money yet, after getting this accurate answer, Xu Huizhen felt that she could spare the old man today.

Gu Kaiyuan was going down the mountain, carrying a little wild boar on his shoulder, a pheasant and a rabbit in his hands, and was in a very good mood.

If he knew that the Li family he had deliberately exposed before had become a thorn between Gu Baijiang and his wife, hurting each other from time to time, he would probably laugh out loud.
