At this moment, Cai Quan had already gone around the aisle of the shop to call the dog out. He was leaning on crutches and his body was trembling. He stared at Bao Xiong and asked again, and then he went with Bao Xiong to the West Street River to pick up the dog. Tian Xiang stopped him and said, "Don't fall. You and your mother are here to look after the shop. I'll go and persuade the kid Gou Da to come back."
Cai Quan was a careful person. He quickly took out a few coins from the cabinet where the sellers collected money and without counting them, he put them into Bao Xiong's hand and said thank you for saving my grandson. Bao Xiong smiled and said, this is what it should be. In fact, there was one reason why he came to report the news, and another potential reason, which was to ask for credit and reward. Therefore, he did not refuse the few ounces of money Cai Quan gave him, thinking that the Gou family was a wealthy owner and could afford the reward for opening a shop.
Go and persuade the dog to come back. The dog could feel that he was getting old and had the body of a toad with short legs and could not walk fast, so he agreed with Tian Xiang and stayed here with his wife Cai Quan to guard the shop.
Tian Xiang said "Hmm" and hurriedly left the shop, went down the steps, and walked along the stone street in the direction of West Street, walking in tandem with Bao Xiong, almost at a running speed.
On the third day, Yang Jiagu was crawling by the fire pit to warm himself up. He suddenly felt that Gou Da was nice to his daughter and it was interesting. Otherwise, would he send charcoal? But he also felt a little guilty. Why was there no news from there after a few days? Did Yang Guan ask the Gou family to let Gou Da marry into the Yang family?
He couldn't discuss this matter with his daughter because it couldn't be urgent, but he glanced at his daughter who was lingering at the door as if she had something on her mind, and shouted, Guiying, you are not afraid of the cold, you are selling frozen meat at the door. ah? Why don't you come and warm yourself by the fire?
Dad, I'm not cold. Yang Guiying replied that she was actually not cold at all. Her face was bright red from the cold, but she still faced the door. The cold wind was whistling, as if it was bringing some news, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.
Suddenly, a carriage came galloping in the distance, and there were three people sitting in the carriage. Although she could not see their faces clearly, but when she saw the bay-red horse, she knew that Gouda must be sending some supplies. She quickly returned to the main room, and instead of going to the fire pit to warm herself up, she went straight to her private room and gently closed the door.
Yang's housekeeper felt strange and asked Guiying why she didn't light up the fire when she entered the house? Isn’t it shameful to go back to the private room and find it cold and deserted? Yang Guiying opened the door a little and stuck her head out and said, Dad, just warm yourself by the fire, don't worry about me, I'm not being mean, someone is coming from outside.
Yang Jiaguang was startled and turned his neck to look out the open door. Sure enough, a carriage approached the yard in front of the house. The driver pulled the reins and the bay-red horse stopped obediently. Three people got off the carriage: Gou Da, Yang Guan and the coachman, whom he was already familiar with. I thought: The carriage must be loaded with some supplies today, so I turned around and shouted excitedly to the side room, Guiying, why don't you come out to greet me? The dog family comes to see you again with gifts!
Dad, you have to receive them. Don't you think I'm a bitch? I'm a girl, so I don't want to be a bitch! Yang Guiying not only did not leave the wing, but also slammed the door of the wing that was open a crack.
Guiying, when I say you are cheap, I don’t mean this aspect. Yang Guanhua said, he didn't know whether to object or approve of his daughter's behavior. Before he had time to think, he twisted his body and was about to crawl towards the door, when Yang Guan, Yang Da and the coachman entered the room one after another.
They were all empty-handed. Yang was a little puzzled, but still very enthusiastic. He took the fire scissors and cut the charcoal fire pit, and the flames burst out. He said, come on, come and warm yourself by the fire. Our charcoal is so good that there is not even a single cigarette left in it, and it burns with bright red flames.
Of course you should be grateful to Gou Da. Before he sent the charcoal, he mixed it and picked out all the cigarette slivers, so the charcoal he sent was easy to burn and smokeless. Think about it, there is no charcoal without cigarette slivers, and you will eat chaff when you eat. After Yang Guan said this, he came to the fire pit and put his cold hands on the charcoal fire to roast and rub them. So did the coachman who followed.
Only Gouda was not in the mood to warm himself by the fire when he entered the room. He looked everywhere. Yang Guiying was not here. He was embarrassed to ask and touched Yang Guan with his elbow. When Yang Guanyi arrived, he asked, uncle, where did Guiying go?
Housekeeper Yang, who was sitting on a low stool, smiled slightly and said that she was not at home yet. Seeing you guys coming, she hid in the wing, maybe she was shy!
Oh, this is normal. Yang Guan also touched the dog with his elbow, and they smiled knowingly. Yang Guan looked at Yang Guangyao again and went straight to the topic, Uncle, the Gou family firmly disagreed with what you asked me to talk about last time. Do you know the reason?
Hearing this, Yang Jiaguang felt cold and thought to himself: No wonder it can't be done. Today Gou Da and the others drove the carriage empty-handed. Yang Guan continued, and later agreed. Yang's housekeeper immediately smiled and asked why he agreed again? Yang Guan tapped the coachman sitting next to him to warm himself by the fire on the shoulder and asked him to tell you.
The coachman glanced at Gou Da, who was bowing his head in silence, and raised his voice and said, Uncle, you don’t know something. Gou Da almost lost his life in order to marry your daughter, that is, to agree to your request to make him your son-in-law. .
Yang's housekeeper became nervous when he heard this and looked at the coachman with bated breath. The coachman continued, Gou Da saw that his family refused to allow him to marry into the Yang family. He felt that if he could not be married to your daughter Yang Guiying, life would be meaningless, so he did not want to live. That day he did something stupid and went to the west of Xiaohe Town. He jumped into the river on the street, but fortunately he was rescued by a man named Bao Xiong who lived on West Street. Otherwise, how could he be here today?
Gouda, my good son-in-law. When Yang's housekeeper heard this, he couldn't help but say something that was too early to say now.
Dad, I only have Guiying in my heart. Gou Da squinted his eyes and looked back at Yang Jieguang, and answered kindly.
Gouda, does your family still object to it? Yang asked.
The dog shook his head. Yang Guan added that his grandparents and mother no longer dared to object. If they objected, the dog would die in front of them. Gouda's move is really effective.
Yang Guan slipped his last words, and Gou Da nudged him with his elbow again, and he shut up. What Gou Da did was actually a trick that Yang Guan secretly taught him.
Last time when Gou Da mentioned his plan to marry into the Yang family, his family members unanimously opposed it, so he slipped out of the house and crossed the stone street to find Yang Guan, who lived on that street, to give him advice and solve the problem.
Yang Guan moved his eyes and said that I can't do this job with your family, especially since your grandfather is very stubborn and I can't do anything with him. Then he said, if you really love Yang Guiying, you have to suffer a little injustice and be willing to make a little sacrifice.
The sacrifice he was talking about was to ask Gou Da to commit suicide by jumping into a river in such a cold weather. Of course, it was a fake suicide, because he deliberately jumped into the river within the sight of others, so others would naturally come to his rescue. But this incident can really scare the family, forcing them to give in to his plan to marry into the Yang family.
