When Father Gu saw that everyone had gone out, he put down the cigarette stick in his hand. "When Xiaobao found honeysuckle a few days ago, he also found a ginseng. I brought it to the county town and sold it today." At this point, there is no more.
Keep talking.
Gu Chengyu was a little speechless. He found out that his father was still trying to titillate people. Look, he was going to cause agitation again.
Gu Chengyi had a feeling that this was indeed the case. No wonder he refused to take him with him when he went to the county seat. He just said it! If there was no way to get money, his father would let Lao Wu go? So today, I will talk about Lao Wu first to test him.
Is it possible that in his father's eyes, only Lao Wu is his son? Thinking of this, Gu Chengyi's eyes were a little angry, but he just suppressed it.
"Ouch! Is this true? How much money did the ginseng cost? Oops! Let me tell you! His brother-in-law is a lucky man. Look, he can even dig up ginseng when he goes up to the mountains. Listen to what my dad said
Ah! That ginseng is worth a lot of money!" Mr. He didn't care about the unpleasant commotion that everyone had just made. When he heard the money rushing to the front, Gu Chengyu was a little curious, how could such a plump body run so fast?
Fast?
Mrs. Fang also pricked up her ears and listened. One ginseng could be sold for at least ten taels of silver, right? That could be worth two or three years' income!
"Dad, how much did ginseng cost?" Gu Chengyi no longer wanted to talk in circles.
Father Gu saw that everyone was staring at him attentively, so he stopped trying to interest everyone, and he didn't hide it. The boss knew what was going on, and it was not good to hide it from his other sons. "Sold for five hundred taels."
Everyone gasped, "What? Five hundred taels?" Gu Chengyu only heard He's soprano.
"How much is five hundred taels? What can you buy?" Mrs. He couldn't imagine it at all. She had never even touched silver. "His dad, are five hundred taels going to pile the silver into a pile? What about dad and the others?
Did you bring it back? I didn’t see anything like a package containing silver when I came back!”
"Second sister-in-law, there is a banknote in Dayan Dynasty! I brought the banknote back." Gu Chengyu felt that poverty limited her imagination. Growing up to this age, the second sister-in-law has probably never seen a banknote. She may not even have money.
Touch less.
"Dad, is it really five hundred taels? How can it be sold for so much?" Gu Chengyi also couldn't believe it. Is one ginseng worth so much money?
"Yes! This ginseng is over eighty years old and is in very good condition. Shopkeeper Liu gave it five hundred taels for Mr. Li's sake."
"Dad! Let's take a look at the banknote! We haven't seen it before!" Mr. He licked his face and smiled at Father Gu. Gu Chengyi on the other side also wanted to see the banknote. He was only in Zhouzhou in the town.
The shopkeeper has seen the banknotes.
Mrs. Lu hated He's money-grubbing face the most. "Of course I kept the banknotes. Didn't we have a thief in our house two days ago? He even ate the rabbit meat in the kitchen. How can we take out the banknotes?"
?" In fact, Mrs. Lu had long suspected that Mr. He was stealing the food, but she didn't catch her at the time, so she had to let her go. In the future, she will have to find an opportunity to catch her, so that her family will often have less food, so lazy
The mother-in-law actually likes to eat secretly. I don’t know how the He family taught her to be lazy and greedy. She should not have agreed to marry the He family in the first place.
When Mrs. He saw Mrs. Lu mentioning rabbit meat, she felt a little guilty. She and her two sons ate the pieces of rabbit meat, but they didn't dare to finish them all, leaving two or three pieces.
Looking at her second brother's behavior today, Gu Wan knew that her second brother was reluctant to give money to Xiaobao. It seemed that he was either a mother-in-law or could not count on her. Dad was right. When a woman gets married, her mother's brothers cannot be counted on.
, isn’t she going to be bullied to death by her husband’s family? But if the second brother is like this, I’m afraid he won’t care about her, right? Xiaobao is really kind to her second sister, and she should be nicer to Xiaobao in the future.
"Dad, what are you going to do with so much money?" Gu Chengyi just wanted to know how to distribute the money. With so much money, it is enough to buy land or build a house.
When Father Gu heard this, he looked at Gu Chengyi deeply before replying. "This silver is intended to be kept for Xiaobao. You also know that it is waste money. What's more, Xiaobao dug this from the mountain himself.
Xiaobao takes it for granted."
Gu Chengyi frowned. So, his father plans to give so much money to the fifth child? This is not possible. In the past, the Gu family did not have the principle that whoever earned the money would spend it. Why did he say this again now? Could it be that this
Are the rules only for their generosity and second bedroom?
Gu Chengyu didn't want to start unnecessary disputes over this little money, and the Gu family was not just the second room, but there were so many people. In order for the people he cared about to live a good life, he had to find some money-making business for the family, so this
Money is just a starting point, and it's not a big deal to take it out. But after what happened today, he still feels that eggs cannot be put in one basket. He must have his own private property, otherwise he will be scolded even if he wants to use some money.
Doing this all the time makes one's head ache.
After thinking about it, Gu Chengyu said: "Dad! These five hundred taels of silver will be used to buy some land for the family, and a house must be built. They will all be deducted from these five hundred taels. I will reserve this year's silver. I will
Find a way to make some money for your family, so you don’t have to worry about money next year.”
"Xiaobao, you little kid, what do you mean by making money or not? This is what you should worry about? Does a big family have to rely on you to support them? If you say it, someone will stab you in the back. Besides, what about that?
Is money so easy to earn? Who knows if I can earn more money next time?" Ms. Lu would definitely not agree. This money belongs to Xiaobao and no one can take it.
"Mom, you still don't believe me? I said if there is a way, there is a way. There are so many people in our family, and the third brother is going to get married soon. There are already many people in the family, and there is no room for them. Besides, I am old, so since I want to go, then
You still have to have your own study room? A house must be built, and a brick house must be built. Land must also be bought, and the money left there will only become less and less. It is better to buy land, and there is future in the land.
Only then can you make money! Dad, what do you think?"
In fact, Father Gu has been moved by Gu Chengyu's words. What does a farmer care about most? Isn't it the fields and crops? With land, you will have surplus food in your hands. With surplus food, you really don't have to worry about starving to death. "Then.
Otherwise, why not buy less land first? Now the best paddy fields cost eight taels of silver per acre, so why not buy 35 acres?"
"Then the relationship is good and there is more food, then I no longer have to drink black glutinous rice all day long. I get hungry easily even if I drink black glutinous rice flour. It's better to work hard and stop being hungry!" Mrs. He imagined that their family had bought dozens of acres of fields.
Just have a dry meal, or make porridge with polished rice like Landlord Zhao’s family, and serve it with white flour pancakes. It tastes so delicious! Thinking about it makes me feel hungry again after having just eaten dinner.
Everyone unanimously ignored He's words, especially Lu, who thought she was a prodigal woman who didn't have enough to eat.
"Old man, what should I do with Xiaobao after all the money has been spent? You don't care about Xiaobao anymore?" Mrs. Lu became anxious when she heard that Father Gu agreed.
