Space Escape: Raising Big Guys with Hundreds of Billions of Materials

Chapter 13 13. Borrowing Money
The Gu family had long noticed that the old couple was muttering in the corner, and now seeing the couple walking towards this side, several brothers and daughters-in-law hurriedly pulled their husband's children to hide.

However, Gu Wenheng ignored them and brought Jin Qianqian directly to Gu Dashi and them.

Li Cuicui looked at them defensively, "Old Seven, we don't have any food for you, why don't you ask some of your brothers?"

It is estimated that these two couples should have finished their rations, so they won't hit their old bones again now, right?
Gu Wenheng glanced at Gu Dashi, grabbed Li Cuicui's hand and came to the side, "Mother, lend me 200 wen."

"What?" Li Cuicui stared at him with wide eyes, "Why didn't you eat your mother? It's 200 wen as soon as you speak, no."

She instantly understood the number again, "What are you trying to do? Want to bring your daughter-in-law into the county seat?

I can tell you, don't think that you can stay there when you go in. There are curfews everywhere now, and they will pull you out when the time comes. These old showmen haven't taught you, have they? "

Hearing Li Cuicui's ridicule, Gu Wenheng had already made up his mind, "I didn't want to stay inside, I just wanted to go in and exchange some money."

Li Cuicui looked at him up and down, "You were born by an old lady, I don't know how much you have on your body, except for this skin, you have nothing valuable on you.

Okay, hurry up and find a place to hide, I have a lot of things to pack, and I don't have time to talk to you here.

Anyway, borrowing money is impossible, you might as well go out to find wild vegetables at this time, maybe you can have an extra meal. "

Gu Wenheng had long guessed that Li Cuicui would not easily borrow copper plates, and directly revealed his trump card, "Mother, do you think this thing is rare?"

Li Cuicui looked down in disapproval, but only saw a weather-beaten face in her pupils, which scared her back again and again, "...??"

Gu Wenheng quickly freed up a hand to support her, "Don't be afraid, this is a mirror, does the bronze mirror know?"

Li Cuicui then looked at him hesitantly, "This can't be a bronze mirror, I have seen a bronze mirror, don't lie to me."

The bronze mirror will only show a blurred face. Where can such an obvious face appear?
"Then look at me, is it me in the mirror now?" Gu Wenheng could only face himself with the mirror the size of his palm, so that Li Cuicui could see more clearly.

"Where did you come from?" Li Cuicui panicked, "We don't do things that hurt the world. If there is such a thing, it's not something we can afford to provoke. You should return it quickly."

Such a valuable thing is only worthy of those who are wealthy, and it will only be a disaster for them to hold it in their hands.

Gu Wenheng lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "This is your daughter-in-law's dowry, and we are not willing to move until this last moment.

Besides, we are all honest and responsible under your nose, where do we go to get such precious things? "

But Li Cuicui looked suspicious, "Just your daughter-in-law can have such a foundation? Don't you come to deceive me, if there is such a thing, her grandma will still be lying in bed for half a year without being healed?"

Gu Wenheng also knew that this was unreasonable, but this was the best excuse they could find.

Jin Qianqian originally lived with her widowed grandmother. In the first two years, Grandma Jin calculated that her body would not last long, so she hurriedly married her granddaughter.

The conditions given are also very attractive. As long as the funeral of her old man is dealt with, she will not only use the dowry as a dowry.

At that time, Li Cuicui really put her heart into marrying this daughter-in-law who would not be dragged down by her family in the future.

You must know that marrying a daughter-in-law will cost nearly [-] taels of silver from beginning to end, but burying an old woman is as simple as two or three taels. Such a cost-effective transaction, but many people are staring at it.

She tempted Grandma Jin with the conditions of having many brothers, having someone to help her, and splitting the family as soon as she got married. Grandma Jin loves her granddaughter. Even if she knew that she would have to live with Gu Yuanyu for a long time, she still agreed.

Not long after they got married, Grandma Jin also gave up on the world because of her wish.

Li Cuicui also kept his promise and asked Gu Yuanyu and Jin Qianqian to bury the old man properly.

Gu Wenheng also saw this scene from memory, knowing that although this ancient family has a lot of problems, at least their character is still decent.

Otherwise, he would rather give more benefits to the yamen guarding the city, rather than persuade Li Cuicui here.

Besides, their current identities can't be put aside. If he and Jin Qianqian want to hang out in this era, it must be their responsibility to be filial to the parents of the ancient family.

"That's not because she was timid at the time, and since it was passed down from their ancestors, she was not willing to exchange money.

Now your son and your daughter-in-law are at the last minute. If you don't pawn this thing, your daughter-in-law and I will run out of food. "Gu Wenheng came up with an excuse that he had thought of for a long time.

Seeing that Li Cuicui's face was a little loose, he added another fire, "I don't ask you to borrow it for nothing. When I come back, I will pay you back double."

"However, this is also a family heirloom. If you pawn it like this, you will be sorry for your daughter-in-law in the future." Li Cuicui knew how important dowry is to women. If such a precious thing is exchanged for money, she can buy it back later. It's hard.

Gu Wenheng looked indifferent, "This thing is dead, people are alive, we can't carry this dead thing and starve ourselves to death!
You can say a word now, to borrow or not to borrow? "

Li Cuicui slapped him twice, "I really gave birth to you debt collectors, but I can put my words here. Your life is also given to your daughter-in-law, and you can't treat others badly in the future."

Gu Wenheng's face softened, and despite the old lady's usual acerbic appearance, her heart was really soft.

"Understood." He also knew that the key to getting along between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the man, so naturally he wouldn't show how much he valued Jin Qianqian in front of Li Cuicui.

Sure enough, the method worked. Li Cuicui took a sympathetic look at Jin Qianqian who was not far away, "I can't control you anyway, but we can't lose our conscience as people and things."

Gu Wenheng urged impatiently, "You should lend me the money sooner, or the city gate will be closed soon."

It was already afternoon, and there was not much time left for them.

Li Cuicui, "..." This was the first time I saw someone who borrowed money so confidently.

Turning his back to Gu Wenheng, he poked around, and after a long while, he counted 200 copper plates with trembling hands.

"You must remember to pay me back. I don't ask you to double it, but you can't let me lose a penny, or I won't be able to explain it to your father and brother."
