Chapter 043: You are all dragged down
Mrs. Gu also paused and raised her eyes, "How did you know about tiger skin wontons?"
Gu Chuhan also stared at her. They went to the county town as soon as they set up a stall and had just started selling. How did she know?
"Everyone who went to the county town saw it, I'll say it!" Lian's attitude was that you couldn't hide it from me. "I'm selling so much in a day, so I guess I should have paid back the money I owe? We, Yan Niang, are buying a dowry, and Wulang also has to pay Shu Xiu, but the family is so poor that it's so poor! The money you earn is all covered in the third room!"
When the third house had such a big deal, basically all the relatives were borrowed from each other, including those who were borrowed by Xie, and those who had borrowed by Gu Pozi. In addition, Gu Lingshan had borrowed it before, all of them were accounts! However, the second house's account was clear, and there were a total of two taels of silver!
Lian's family is not only here to ask for the account, but since the tiger skin wontons are easy to sell, their family can also learn to set up a stall! If it is too late, let the other rooms take advantage!
"Anyway, you can only set up a stall, but you can't sell it! Baihe County is so big, and there is no tiger skin wonton stall in Qingshan Town. Our family also set up a stall, and at least we can earn hard money! Yan Niang said that she was a marriage! How good the marriage was not made before. If it weren't for the third house, they would have agreed! Yan Niang wouldn't be dragged down until now! People laughed at her!" When talking about her daughter's marriage, Lian was full of resentment.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu was a little speechless. Not only was the daughter of the second wife, but the eldest wife also resented that it had dragged down Erlang and Sanlang. The fourth wife basically did not interact with each other, for fear of being involved.
But tiger skin wontons are a business they finally found for money, so they are counting on making money to pay off their debts! If they were asked to set up stalls, the big house would not be reasonable for five houses, and the fourth house would not agree.
Gu Shilang was a little anxious, "It's not that your family can't eat. We want to leave our wonton stall. If we don't say we will pay back the debt, we don't even have enough food!"
Lian said unhappyly, "There is nothing left! I have sold so many wontons and so much money, but I can't eat them!"
"If you don't have food, you won't cook two dishes! Tell lies!" Gu Qilang also pointed at him.
Gu Shiro pursed his lips.
Gu Ran's mother looked at Mrs. Gu, "Second uncle! Our family finally had a living. If you are in a hurry to use the money, can we pay back your account first?"
Lian Shi often counts how much money the second house lends to them. As long as they think about it, they will be angry for a long time. Now she is not in a hurry to pay it back. "I borrowed it all, but when I borrowed it, I didn't say that I wanted you to pay it back. It's been so many years, and I haven't asked you for it! We are all our own family, and if you make money, you should pay it back the outside account first! Our family will set up a wonton stall! Don't worry, you won't compete with you for business! You just go east and west!"
Gu Ran's mother was a little anxious and frequently looked at Mrs. Gu frequently.
"It's just a wonton stall. You're going to know it. Where is the big room? Where is the fifth room? And the fourth room?" Mrs. Gu said calmly.
Lianshi said, "Isn't it just a matter of our family's in a hurry! The fourth house runs a shop in the town, I don't know how much money I earn in a year, and I eat meat every day! I've seen my mother before! The daughter of the fifth house is still young, so how can our family be anxious! The promising eldest son of the big house supports us, but our family has nothing!"
"It's all because of you! Otherwise, my elder sister would be able to marry into a good family and be a young grandmother who doesn't have to worry about food and drink! They all blame you!" Gu Qilang added angrily.
Gu Ranniang and Gu Shilang both looked ugly and couldn't speak. Gu Ruoniang looked at it, but didn't dare to say anything, so she came over to grab Gu Chuhan's sleeve.
Gu Chuhan shook her little hand, "Grandma! I'll call my uncle, fourth uncle and younger uncle. Since the second house is more anxious, I'll discuss it first and pay back the money from the second house first."
The second tael of silver was paid back and I must have earned a lot! Lian Shi was even more reluctant, "What's the name? What's the matter with them? It's not about paying them back! There are not many of them in short supply! You still pay back one by one, so let's set up my family at the wonton stall first!"
"I don't agree!" Mrs. Gu said directly.
"My mother is biased towards the third family, but she can't be biased towards this! If Yan Niang delays her, she will become an old daughter. At that time, she will not even find a widower or a widower! Wulang will also go to the exam next year. If she passes the exam, isn't it the lintel of our Gu family? Besides, I won't compete for business with you!" Lian Shi gritted her teeth in anger. She is not begging them to borrow money for a while!
She said this and there was also a big room there.
The one who was ardent was not Lian. Sun took down the filial piety silver that his eldest son wanted to give. She knew very well, where did the old woman get the money she had to make lanterns and sell wontons? Her mother's house was ten miles away from the county town, and she soon learned about the news of tiger skin wontons. Seeing that Lian came over, she brought a basin of dumplings over.
Lian Shi was used to saying good things in front of others and acting like she did so many good things. She knew her younger siblings very well. When she entered the door, she called her mother, "Why haven't you eaten breakfast yet? Mom, are you coming back this morning?" As she said that, her eyes swept around and fell on Lian Shi's angry and ugly face, she already knew it.
"I came back late last year and got up too!" Mrs. Gu frowned and looked at her.
Sun explained with a smile, "I came to deliver dumplings yesterday. I ran a few times but didn't see you coming back. I thought it was too late and I lived in the county town. Seeing the smoke from my home, I brought it here! It's steamed, and I can eat it directly after it's hot!"
Looking at the full pot, Gu Ruoniang couldn't hide the surprise and doubt on her face, obviously she had never seen it before.
Gu Ranniang and Gu Shilang were not disturbed by a pot of steamed dumplings. They also owed money to the big house. The eldest uncle must have known that tiger skin wontons are easy to sell and they want to share the game with them!
Lian's face was really bad. She said that she had sent dumplings yesterday but she didn't see anyone, but both mother and mother came empty-handed. After talking for a long time, the old woman didn't want to. Now she saw that the big house was still sending dumplings, so she would definitely be partial! She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Oh! My sister-in-law also sent dumplings! I saw you making cabbage yesterday, it turned out to be made dumplings!" She said that the cabbage dumplings she made.
Sun smiled, ignored her, and brought dumplings to Gu Chuhan and Gu Ruoniang, "Jiulang, Ruoniang tastes this dumpling! Your elder brother wrote a letter and said you! If he passes the examination this year, he will take you with him! Paying off his debt is a son. As the son of the family, it is better to be a literate and study! If you are not the top scorer in the exam, you will be respected in the future as a knowledgeable person!"
I first took steamed dumplings and then sold them well, but I didn't mention a word about tiger skin wontons.
Gu Chuhan looked at it and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.
