The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 129
"Father!" Gu Xi slightly parted her lower lip, not knowing what to say.Before she came, she told the person in charge that it was better for the two of them to come together!But the head of the family insisted on begging his mother, but refused to come to Gu's family.She knew that it would be embarrassing to borrow money from her parents, but what's the use of begging his mother?Even if his mother has money, can she scrape together 18 taels and give it to him?Not to mention, his mother refused to give it at all.

"Sister! Dad is right. Shouldn't my brother-in-law come with you for such a big matter as borrowing money? It's almost dark today, but let you, a woman, go back to your mother's house alone, so he can rest assured?" Gu Chengyi said I also agree with his father's words this time, 18 taels of silver!The brother-in-law just let the eldest sister come back to borrow it alone?Can't this head be lowered?

Where in the world is there such a good thing?His eldest sister came back to borrow money, do you still plan to pay it back?But this tax is the tax of the old Wang's family. It doesn't make sense for the Gu family to pay the old Wang's money, right?The Gu family is more than just this in-law's family. If the two daughters-in-law's natal families both come to borrow, will they borrow or not?How can they borrow so much money?
Gu Chengyu thought about it carefully, the money must be borrowed, but how to borrow it, the Wang family has to come up with a charter, right?Although, Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention to this little money, so it doesn't matter if it comes out.But right now, the Gu family doesn't have much money, and the Gu family has a lot of in-laws, so they will all come to borrow at that time, so what?Besides, in the final analysis, this matter is not the eldest brother-in-law's business alone. Could it be that the Wang family doesn't want to pay a tael of silver?

"Big sister! When you come out, do your father-in-law and mother-in-law know?" Gu Chengyu intends to ask clearly, fearing that the Wang family really intends to let the Gu family pay for it!
"Ah? I know! Your brother-in-law dragged me to ask my parents-in-law, but they refused, so I came back to borrow money." Actually, what Gu Xi didn't say was that her parents-in-law directly yelled for her to come back and ask for it, saying that her mother's family sent money. He made money, but he didn't think about her daughter at all, and he couldn't get any benefits.Anyway, the mother-in-law insisted that she had no money and asked her to come back and ask for it.

As soon as Gu Chengyu heard it, he knew that the Wang family was afraid that the Gu family bought land in Xialing Village some time ago, and only thought that their family had money, so they refused to pay a penny. It's all right, but whether to take it or not is a matter of attitude. Could it be possible to rely on him?
"Xizi, you can't decide this matter. You stay at home tonight, and I will send you back early tomorrow morning, bring your elder brother and others, and see what your parents-in-law say. Although you separated, but Corvée is not your family's business. Your in-laws are clearly plotting against our Gu family! You must know that our Gu family is not limited to your in-laws. It can't be justified. But our Gu family doesn't have that much money! The money for selling ginseng, if we buy land, build a house, and add taxes to the family, there is not much left."

After thinking about it for a while, Father Gu still felt that the Wang family should not be taken advantage of in vain. The eldest daughter is a member of the Wang family, not a member of the Gu family.Tomorrow, he was going to go home with Gu Xi, and he would give the money, but the Wang family didn't want to lose any money.

"Father! That money..." Gu Xi was still a little worried that her father would not take out the money.

"You don't have to worry about the money. Anyway, the son-in-law won't go to the corvee. You just need to stay at home with peace of mind. Boss, let your daughter-in-law and Xizi share a night together, and you go to the third and fourth brothers and the others." Squeeze, get up early tomorrow, I will ask Lao Wangtou to send Xiaobao to study in the town, and you and the second child will follow me to send Xizi back. Xizi, when you separated, no one came to call us. , I didn't want our family to give you a head, so I didn't mention it. But you have to know, no matter what you say, you are also a daughter of our Gu family who has gone out. Dad will not leave you alone, let alone our family There are so many brothers."

Father Gu knew that since he married the Lu family, the children in front of him had been separated from him.He also admitted that sometimes he was partial, but he didn't leave these children alone?In the past, the family was poor, and he also gave Zhang Luo the daughter-in-law of the eldest and second child. When Gu Xi got married, he didn't ask for a lot of gifts. happiness.

"Hey! Dad!" Gu Chengli responded.He doesn't know how to say good things, his father decides everything in the family, and he believes that his father will not ignore Xizi.

"Yes! Eldest sister! We don't care what the Wang family has in mind. If they ask the boss of the Wang family to go, we can't care. But you and our Gu family have broken bones and tendons, and the daughter of the Gu family who has gone out is not easy to bully." Gu Chengyi also persuaded Gu Xi, he believed that father's money would definitely come out, father just wanted to go to Wang's house to ask for an explanation, and let everyone see by the way, the Gu family didn't have much money, so don't always worry about his family's money.

"You guys said it lightly. How much silver is that? 18 taels! And you want our Gu family to give it away? Then how much money our family has is not enough for everyone to pay for it. You gave it to Xizi today. Tomorrow, what should we do if all relatives come to our house?"

Mrs. Lu was a little angry when she saw that Mrs. Gu and the others took this matter over again. No matter how hard Xiaobao tried to do it, the money he earned was not enough to support this family. Now the family is relying on Xiaobao Living life, except for the silver earned by Xiaobao, there is no money. If this continues, the family will lose all.

"I have a plan for this matter. It's done! Everyone is tired! Go down and rest!" Mr. Gu thought that he would have to pass Lu's test later, so he sent everyone away first. .

"Auntie, let's sleep in our room today! Let's go!" Fang always had no sense of presence. Seeing that the discussion was over, she stepped forward and pulled Gu Xi back to rest.

Although Gu Xi was still a little worried, she also knew that her father had an idea, so she could only follow Fang back to rest, and the rest had to wait until tomorrow.It's just that I didn't borrow any money, and I didn't know what to do.

Gu Chengyi and his wife went back to the west wing, He closed the door, saw his two sons playing on the kang, went to the edge of the kang and sat down.

"My baby's father? Why do you think our father is so generous this time? As soon as the elder sister came to borrow it, he was willing to borrow it?" Mrs. He couldn't figure it out, so much money, would my father be willing to borrow it?
"Eldest sister is his daughter, father can't just watch elder brother-in-law go to die, right? If something happens to elder brother-in-law, can his royal family take care of the orphans and widows? This father definitely can't just watch." Gu Chengyi just washed up Well, now, I took off my shoes and went directly to the kang.

"Tell me, if you really lend all the money to the elder sister, will our family have no money to build a house?" Mrs. Lu was a little worried that the blue brick and tile house would run away, and she would not be able to live in such a good house in the future. .

"You are a woman, what are you bothered about? You can't get away with keeping the name of the house." Gu Chengyi reckoned that there should be some money to build the house, and there is still a little leftover.After all, although I wanted to build two entrances, they were different from the two entrances in the town and county. They were not as big and had fewer houses.

"Ouch! Anyway, thinking of the bright and majestic tile-roofed house, who would want to live in a stuffy and hot little house? His father, look, we still have money left in our family, so what about my natal elder brother? He is a corvee, and my mother only has one son."
