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

Chapter 36 Kneel down

Chapter 36 Kneeled
"Why? From the second family? Our Gu family hasn't separated yet! The money belongs to the public, and your father and I haven't died yet! What kind of funeral are you howling here? I'm your mother-in-law. I said that the money is old. Use it if you need it, and you need your consent? What kind of onion are you? How dare you take care of your in-laws? Unfilial things." Mrs. Lu pointed at Mrs. He and cursed, this idiot dared to take aim at Gongzhong money?This money is used by the youngest and the others for their marriage, so who would give her the guts to play tricks in front of her in-laws?

Yu Datie, who was on the side, saw the Gu family's internal strife, and was also happy to watch the show, anyway, it would be enough if he had a lot of money!

"Second brother, what do you say about this?" Father Gu just wanted to know what Gu Chengyi was thinking. He couldn't care about his daughter-in-law, and his son would care about it.But the second child is his son, so he can take care of it.The third child is still his brother, so he wants to see if he still has his father and brother in his eyes.

When Gu Chengyi heard his father calling him, he also hesitated.Ten taels of silver, how much is that?He had never seen so much silver.The Gu family paid taxes every year, and the rest of the food was sold for more than two taels of silver. In addition to the part-time jobs he and his elder brother did, there was almost two taels of silver, so it added up to more than four taels of silver.But there are so many Gu family members!Don't spend it all year round?In the past few years, the family spent a lot of money on marriage and childbirth, so he can figure out how much money there is left over.And there was another important matter to consider. He knew from shopkeeper Zhou that he was going to serve corvee soon.

Gu Chengyu also set his eyes on the second brother, trying to see what he was thinking, he was afraid that the answer he heard would disappoint him.

"Father, how much money does our family have?" Gu Chengyi raised his head and looked intently at Father Gu, as if he wanted to see something from Father Gu's eyes.

"Don't worry about this, I said ten taels, that's enough, you just say what you think. Since I asked, I'll ask the boss, but do you have any opinions?" Old Gu turned to look at Gu Chengli.

Gu Chengli quickly waved his hands, "Father, it's good for you to make a decision. The third brother is our real brother. If the third brother encounters something, just use it. How can I have any opinions?"

Papa Gu nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Chengyi was angry for a while, he wasn't so slow, the boss was lucky, he became a good person, it seemed that he didn't care about his brotherhood.It's definitely not okay to not agree now, in fact, it's not that he disagrees, he just has some ideas, so he nodded under Gu's sharp gaze.

"His father?" Seeing Gu Chengyi nodding his head, Mrs. He had no choice but to stop, and sat listlessly on the stool without saying a word.

Seeing that the second child nodded, Papa Gu also heaved a sigh of relief.He knew that the second child would be dissatisfied, but the third child was also his son, and he was afraid that because of ten taels of silver, a rift would arise between the brothers, alas!Isn't it all poor?

"His mother, you go and get ten taels of silver." Old Gu felt disgusted when he saw Yu Datie looking at his wife, he had better send him away early.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion at the gate of the courtyard. This person can't come in. You can tell the general idea by hearing the sound. Some people say that Gu Changqing's family has bad luck, and some people say that the Gu family's baby is not up to date. have.

Yu Datie took the ten taels of silver from Father Gu, and couldn't hide his greed anymore. He grinned, weighed the silver, and bit it with his teeth. He was sure it was real money, and took it in happily. arms.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the silver when it was taken out, and saw that it was two small silver ingots of five taels. This was seen in his mother's money-saving box. These were the two largest silver ingots, and the others were broken. Silver and copper plates.

Mrs. He had been eyeing the silver ingots as early as when Gu's mother took out the silver ingots to Gu's father. Seeing that the silver was taken by Yu Datie, she felt itchy with hatred. This was the first time she saw silver ingots. I can't even touch the silver!Damn Yu strikes iron!

"Second brother Gu, now that this is over, it's getting late, so I'm leaving. But my temple is small, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Chenglian in the future, so I don't have to go to the shop tomorrow." After finishing speaking, I couldn't wait to go out.

Yu Datie felt erratic as he walked happily. 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. Some ironware, I regretted it a long time ago.It's been a few years, and I can only watch it in the room. Who would have thought that I would still earn a few taels now.It's a pity that the man ran away, otherwise a big knife would be worth more than a piece of pig iron!No matter what, after getting the money, he didn't bother to say such good things, so he pushed the latch of the courtyard door and left without looking back.

Old man Gu ordered Gu Chengli to close the courtyard door to block the villagers outside, and let everyone go inside to eat before talking about today's events, one after another, until now, his family has not eaten yet.

When Gu's mother arrived at the main room, she ordered the two daughters-in-law and the eldest girl to serve the dishes and meals, and then asked Da Zhu and Gu Chengli to help Gu Chengchi out for dinner.As for Gu Wan, she probably hasn't figured it out yet, she hides in the room and refuses to come out.Gu's mother yelled that it would be better if she didn't eat, but she still told Fang to keep the food.

There are many Gu family members, and men and women usually have separate tables. Not only the tables are divided, but also the dishes and meals are divided by the Lu family.Because Gu Chenglian was coming back today, he specially scrambled three eggs and steamed a few more eggs.Mrs. Lu scooped a bowl of wild vegetable black batter into each bowl. The three eggs were served at the men's table. Mrs. Lu was the elder and also ate at the men's table.But today, no one touched their chopsticks, and there was low air pressure on the dinner table.The adults lost their money and felt distressed, but the little baby didn't dare to move because the adults didn't move.

Gu Chengyu sat next to Papa Gu, looked at the third brother who had been sluggish since he came in just now, and sighed.If you lose all the compensation, can you get your money back if you don’t talk or eat?I hope that after this incident, his third brother will not be so reckless, at least the deposit must be collected first, right?But he was curious, why did that man run away?The third brother didn't catch up?The Gu family have drank Lingquan water in the past few years. Although it is not much, it is very effective.Otherwise, his third brother looks so thin, how can he have the strength to strike iron?If it were an ordinary man, he wouldn't be able to run so fast, could it be that he was being tricked by someone?
Just as Gu Chengyu was thinking about it, Gu Chenglian suddenly stood up and took a few steps to the side, looked at the old man above him, and knelt down.Everyone was very surprised, where did this happen?

"Father, what happened this time is all my fault. I have caused my family to lose so much money, and I am even more sorry for my father, elder brother and second elder brother. I know that the main labor of our family is the three of you. A few years ago, my boss and I The fourth and fifth children are still young and can't help. All these years, you have earned the food and clothing of the family. Who would have thought that this time I would make the family lose your hard-earned money, and I will definitely return it to you in the future. " Gu Chenglian's eyes were red, and his eyes focused on the boss and the second child. He was really guilty in his heart, and the words 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 business? Then why didn't you think about it at the beginning, how can someone be so stupid that a big knife can give 60 taels? I don't know what the knife is worth. How much, but why don't you even take a deposit? I, a woman, know about it, but you've been in the shop for more than half a year, and you still don't know?" Mrs. He already felt sorry for Yinzi, but when Gu Chenglian mentioned it, she hated it Tooth itching, there is at least half of the credit for the baby's father!Who even apologized hypocritically?Kneeling and kneeling can be worth ten taels of silver?
