Gong Yaozu felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that before the Chinese New Year, he should not have sent a message home and asked for money from his family on the pretext of going on a study tour. He spent all of it these days. If he had not taken it at that time
If so, his mother can still scrape together some money for him now.
But soon, he rejected his idea. This is stupid. If he didn't need money at that time, his mother would definitely give all the money to his good uncle today to subsidize her parents' family.
Already.
When Gong Yaozu thought of his poor grandmother's house, his only thought was that it was a home with leaks everywhere and holes that needed to be repaired. Even though his mother had provided subsidies for so many years, she had not seen any improvement in her uncle's house.
That is a bottomless pit. Instead of taking the money cheaply, they might as well get it and spend it earlier. It was also because they were so unlucky this time that they lost all the money in their hands so quickly. The most important thing now is
Hurry up and take the money to make a comeback. Earning a little more will be enough for your future expenses.
It seems that it is really difficult for the family during this period, and it may not be so easy to deduct some money.
Thinking of this, Gong Yaozu suddenly realized that his mother just said that the family's wealth was low, mainly because he and his brother spent too much on schooling. Of course, the main reason here was that his eldest brother spent too much on phone calls, but Gong Yaozu
After thinking about it in his mind, he understood that with his mother constantly subsidizing his parents' family, it was strange that his family's financial situation could become richer.
There was no money left at home, and that was all thanks to his mother, who kept having to take things from her parents' house. Thinking of this, Gong Yaozu, who was originally a little decadent and nervous, suddenly relaxed.
He confidently said to Uncle Gong Jian: "Mom, why don't you find some things quickly? I just happened to take them to the town to exchange for some money.
After saying that, he winked twice at Gong Jian's mother-in-law, which was a code word used between mother and son. Gong Yaozu's meaning was also very simple, that is, he hoped that his mother would quickly take away the valuable things in her hands.
, pawn it for some silver.
The so-called valuable things in the hands of Uncle Gong Jian are actually some jewelry left by Grandma Gong Jian.
Gong Jian's grandfather loved his daughter-in-law, and his family was well off, so every few years he would buy a piece of jewelry for his daughter-in-law. Although most of these jewelry were made of silver or filled with gold, this
The number is also quite large.
Of course, it also includes a few pieces of jewelry that Gong Jian's father earned after he went out to work as a filial piety to his mother after he grew up.
After Gong Jian's grandparents passed away, all these jewelry fell into Uncle Gong Jian's home. Uncle Gong Jian took most of them and exchanged the jewelry for cash. A small part was kept by Gong Jian.
In the hands of Aunt Jian.
I had encountered this a few times before. When my youngest son asked for money, he found that the money at home was not available, so Aunt Gong Jian took out the jewelry and asked him to pawn it for money. Of course, this is inevitable.
Yes, Auntie Gong Jian would secretly take some small jewelry back to her parents' house to supplement her family's income.
So now, when Gong Yaozu heard that his family had no money left, his first reaction after accepting the reality was to ask his mother to take out the jewelry and pawn it for him.
But what he didn't expect was that Mrs. Gong Jian frowned in embarrassment, then shook her head and said, "Yaozu, all those items have been pawned, and I don't have them anymore."
When Gong Yaozu heard this, he was really dumbfounded. He looked at his mother in front of him in disbelief, but Gong Jian's uncle nodded firmly again.
Only then did Gong Yaozu realize that the woman in front of him had most of her hair turning gray. She didn't even have a single piece of jewelry on her head. She only used a wooden hairpin to tie her hair up casually.
together.
Gong Yaozu didn't pay much attention to the gray hair. He was just thinking that since then, his mother seemed to have stopped wearing any jewelry.
He still remembered that when he was a child, his mother got the jewelry from his grandma, and she was very happy for a long time. During those days, his mother would always take turns to take the jewelry and go out to visit. While chatting with other people
, and intentionally or unintentionally, she would touch the jewelry on her head, making those people's envious eyes fall on her.
But since when did my mother no longer have any jewelry on her head?
It seemed that what his mother said was true. All the jewelry was slowly pawned. Gong Yaozu felt depressed in his heart. He asked for money, but there was no money. Even the things that could be pawned were gone.
How can he turn over the book?
Now Gong Yaozu couldn't stay in one place quietly. He paced back and forth in the house uneasily and irritably, calculating in his mind what valuable things there were in the house. No matter what, he had to get some money.
.
This situation at home forced him to feel the need to win some money quickly. You must know that his parents lived in this remote mountain village and did not need to spend money, but there was nothing he did not need in the town every day.
Where's the money?
Suddenly, Gong Yaozu seemed to have thought of something. He turned around quickly, put his hands on Gong Jian's mother's shoulders, and said eagerly: "Mother, I must get the money today. Otherwise, our husband's life will be in danger, and he
He is the one who values me most in the private school, and his recommendation will be of great help to my future career."
Aunt Gong Jian's mind was also in confusion. At this time, she could only remember two points emphasized by her son. One was that she must get the money tonight, and the other was that her husband would be helpful to her son's officialdom.
Who is her youngest son? He is the Wenquxing who came to earth and will be a high official in the future. From now on, she will be the old lady. Her family will also be able to change its family in the future, all of which will depend on his youngest son.
She nodded in agreement quickly, but said helplessly: "Yaozu, everything you say is right, but the family really has no money, and the jewelry in my hand is gone. It's not that I don't want to help you.
Sir, there is nothing we can do."
When Gong Yaozu heard his mother say this, his eyes flashed and he said softly: "Don't we still have so much land?"
Gong Yaozu's gentle words made Gong Jian's whole body tremble. She never expected that her youngest son would actually make plans for the fields at home.
She hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no. Your father has promised not to sell the land at home." (To be continued)
