"What? From the second child's family? Our Gu family hasn't been divided yet! All the money belongs to the public, and your father and I are not dead yet! What kind of mourning are you crying about here? I am your mother-in-law, and I said this money is old
You can use the three if you need them, and you don’t need your consent? Who are you? Do you dare to take care of your parents-in-law? You are unfilial." Mrs. Lu pointed at Mr. He and scolded him. This idiot actually dared to take aim at Gongzhong.
The money? This money is all used by the third child and the others for their marriage. Who gives her the courage to act in front of her parents-in-law?
On the side, Yu Datie saw that the Gu family was in internal strife, and he was happy to watch the show. Anyway, it would only cost him a lot of money!
"Second brother, what do you say about this?" Father Gu just wants to know what Gu Chengyi thinks. He can't take care of his daughter-in-law, and his son will take care of it. But the second child is his son, so he can take care of it. The third child is still
His brother, he wants to see if he still sees him as a father and brother.
Gu Chengyi also hesitated when he heard his father calling him. How much is ten taels of silver? He has never seen so much silver. The Gu family paid taxes every year and sold the remaining grain for more than two taels.
The money, plus the part-time work he and his eldest brother did, gave him a little less than two taels of silver, which added up to more than four taels of silver. But he has a lot to take care of his family! Don’t spend it all year round? In the past few years, the family spent a lot on getting married and having a baby.
, he could calculate how much silver he would have left. Moreover, there was another important thing to consider. He knew from Shopkeeper Zhou that he would soon have to do corvee service.
Gu Chengyu also set his sights on his second brother, trying to see what he was thinking. He was afraid that the answer he heard would disappoint him.
"Dad, how much money does our family have?" Gu Chengyi raised his head and looked at Father Gu attentively, as if he wanted to see something in Father Gu's eyes.
"Don't worry about this. I said ten taels, that's enough. Just tell me what you think. Since you asked, I'll also ask the boss if you have any opinions?" Mr. Gu turned around and looked at Gu Chengli.
Gu Chengli waved his hand quickly, "Dad, you just make the decision. The third brother is our biological brother. If the third brother encounters something, just use it. How can I have any objections?"
Father Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Chengyi felt angry for a while. He was not such a hindrance. The boss had been a good person, and it seemed that he didn't care about brotherhood. It would be impossible not to agree now. In fact, it wasn't that he disagreed, he just had some thoughts, so he had to give it to his father.
He nodded with sharp eyes.
"His father?" Seeing Gu Chengyi nod, Mr. He had to stop and sit listlessly on the stool without saying a word.
Father Gu saw his second son nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his second son would be dissatisfied, but the third son was also his son. He was afraid that for the sake of ten taels of silver, there would be a rift between the brothers. Alas! Not yet.
Are they all caused by poverty?
"Mother, go and get ten taels of silver." Father Gu felt disgusted when he saw Yu Dati looking at his wife, so it would be better to send her away as soon as possible.
At this time, the courtyard gates were all talking about whether this person could get in. You could tell by the sound of his voice. Some people said that the Gu Changqing family was in bad luck. Some people said that the Gu family's children were not living up to expectations.
have.
Yu Datie took the ten taels of silver given by Father Gu. He could no longer hide his greed. He grinned, weighed the silver, and bit it with his teeth. After confirming that it was real silver, he happily took it in.
In arms.
When Gu Chengyu took out the silver, he took a look and saw two small silver ingots worth 50 taels. He had seen these in his mother's money box. These were the two largest pieces of silver in it, and the others were all broken.
Silver and copper plates.
Mrs. He had been eyeing the silver when Gu's mother gave it to Father Gu. When she saw that the silver was taken away by Yu Datie, she was so angry that it was her first time to see a silver ingot. Normally, she would even break it.
I can’t even touch the silver! Damn it, I’m a blacksmith!
"Second Brother Gu, now that this matter is over, it's already getting late, so I'll take my leave. But I'm afraid my little temple boy won't be able to keep Cheng Lian in the future, so there's no need to go to the shop tomorrow." After that,
I couldn't wait to go outside.
Yu Datie walked happily and felt erratic. Thinking of the ten taels of silver in his arms, his face turned red with excitement. In fact, that piece of pig iron was only worth three taels of silver. He originally bought the iron, but no one paid for it.
I have regretted it for a long time. I have kept it in the house for several years and can only look at it. Who would have thought that I can still make several taels now. It is a pity that the man ran away, otherwise a big knife would definitely be worth more than a piece of pig iron.
Now! No matter what, after getting the money, he didn't bother to say such nice things. He opened the door bolt of the courtyard and left without looking back.
Father Gu ordered Gu Chengli to close the courtyard door to block the villagers outside, and then asked everyone to go inside and have dinner before talking about today's events, one after another, and up to this moment, his family had not eaten yet.
Gu's mother arrived at the main room and repeatedly ordered her two daughters-in-law and Da Ya to serve the dishes and rice. She also asked Dazhu and Gu Chengli to help Gu Chengchi come out to eat. As for Gu Wan, she didn't think she had figured it out yet, so she hid.
She refused to come out of the inner room. Mother Gu said that she would save money by not eating, but she still ordered Mrs. Fang to leave some food.
There are many Gu family members, so men and women usually share tables. Not only do they share the tables, but the dishes and rice are also divided by Lu. Because Gu Chenglian is coming back today, he even fried three eggs and steamed a few more eggs.
Wo Wo. Mrs. Lu scooped a bowl of black vegetable batter into each bowl. The three eggs were on the men’s table. Ms. Lu was the elder and also ate at the men’s table. Wo Wo also shared the usual portions.
.But no one moved their chopsticks today, and there was a low atmosphere at the dinner table. The adults lost money and were distressed, but the little boy didn't move, and they didn't dare to move either.
Gu Chengyu sat next to Father Gu, looked at the third brother who had been sluggish since he came in, and sighed. He had already paid all the money, and if he didn't talk or eat, how could he get his money back? I hope that after this incident, he would be able to get his money back.
Third brother, don't be so reckless. At least the deposit must be collected first, right? But he was curious, how did the man run away? Third brother didn't catch up? The Gu family has drank Lingquan water in the past few years. Although it is not much, it is very rich.
The effect. Otherwise, how could his third brother have the strength to strike when he looks so thin? If he were an ordinary man, he wouldn't be able to run so fast. Could it be that he was tricked?
Just when Gu Chengyu was thinking about it, he saw Gu Chenglian suddenly stood up and took a few steps to the side. He looked at Father Gu above him and knelt down. Everyone was surprised. What happened to this?
"Dad, what happened this time is all my fault. I have caused the family to lose so much money. I feel even more sorry for dad, eldest brother and second brother. I know that the main labor force in our family is you three. In the past few years, my father and I
The fourth and fifth children are still young and can't help. Over the years, you have earned the food and clothing for the family. Who would have thought that this time I would let the family pay for your hard-earned money? I will definitely pay it back to you in the future.
." Gu Chenglian's eyes were red, and he glanced at the eldest and second eldest son. He felt really guilty, and what he said came from the bottom of his heart.
"His third uncle, you also know that the family lost so much money because of your incident? Then why didn't you think about it at the beginning, how could anyone be so stupid that he could give sixty taels for a big knife? I don't know what the sword is.
How much is it worth, but why didn't you even take the deposit? I'm a woman and everyone knows this, but you've been in the shop for more than half a year, and you still don't know?" Mr. He already felt sorry for money, but when Gu Chenglian mentioned it, she just hated it.
It makes my teeth itch, but at least half of the credit of the baby's father is there! Who cares if he apologizes hypocritically? Kneeling down can be worth ten taels of silver?
