After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 14 The Patriarch's Hand
It's not like I haven't encountered such a mess before. The lady of the Gu family slapped her thigh, and then sat on the ground crying and crying... It's not like Gu Hui and her daughter left today without being angry. The style of the Gu family's wife.

Gu Qing led the two of them home.

Along the way, Gu Yu and Mo Li did not dare to show their anger, for fear of being severely scolded.

At the door of the house, the two of them smelled the strong smell of meat and vegetables as soon as they inhaled, and their saliva couldn't stop drooling.

Gu Qing poured a basin of water over: "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Mo Li was stunned: "The Patriarch won't punish me?"

Gu Qing said softly: "You are right, why punish you?"

Is there something wrong with Mo Li's good looks?The only blame is that the two mothers and daughters are shameless, they want a husband and son-in-law, and they don't want to spend money to marry them, but they still want to snatch her for nothing.

It will be noon, and the people in the old Gu family are quite orderly. The men are resting, the women are sewing, mending and washing, and the children are cleaning the wild vegetables dug in the morning in the yard.

In the morning, Gu Yu sent over two catties of pork and one pig's trotter, which really surprised Mrs. Gu.

I heard that bastard Gu Qing who became her own mother bought a bunch of meat for her silver hairpin, the old lady was so angry that she almost didn't come up.

Sure enough, it was a prodigal toy. She sold all the silver hairpins that her daughter exchanged her life for on the battlefield.

Mrs. Gu's face turned black when she was holding the meat.At the beginning, because the eldest daughter and the husband and wife made contributions abroad, they took a lot of money from the family, which allowed her to have money to marry the daughter-in-laws of the two sons and return home. Such a bastard granddaughter, I'm afraid she will die a few years early.

"A silver hairpin can be exchanged for at least two hundred copper plates, and can buy dozens of catties of rations. This prodigal toy actually buys meat!" Mrs. Gu looked at the pig's trotters made by her second daughter-in-law on the table with regret on her face. Mrs. Gu didn't bother to cook the two catties of meat, so she salted it and cut it into slices, hanging it in the sun to dry, saving it for later eating.

"I'm full of meat today. What are we going to eat tomorrow? A few days ago, I was digging stinky weeds that chickens and ducks wouldn't even eat, so I forgot? This bastard never plans for the future, it's really worrying." .”

"My niece used to have something good, but she never honored her parents." Zhao San's daughter-in-law said slowly, "I was wondering if my niece regretted the separation and wanted to move back?"

Now every household is short of food, and the eldest niece must have no food at home, so I can only play Gu's idea.

Coax the old lady with a little meat, and then move back to the old house, so that I don't have to worry about being hungry.

Zhao San's daughter-in-law pursed her lips tightly. There was not much food in the cellar at home. If the eldest niece moved back with six people, they would be able to eat half full now, but in the future they might only be able to eat three full.

"At the beginning, the separation of the family was established, and it is not so easy to move back!"

The old lady Gu snorted coldly.

It's not impossible to move back, but I have to listen to her grandma for everything in the future.

Before, I was always worried about what this bastard would do, but now that I knew what she was going to do, there was nothing I couldn't eat.

The old lady waved to everyone in the yard: "Come and have lunch!"

After a large pot of stewed pig's trotters and mushrooms was added from the yard, the people in the yard didn't have much time to work. Ten pairs of dark eyes were fixed on the braised pork, and they swallowed in unison.

The old lady beckoned, and the six children rushed over like flying.
The six members of Gu Qing's family sat down at the wooden table. On the table was a large bowl of braised pork, a large bowl of braised pork ribs, a stir-fried vegetable, and six bowls of white rice.

The sound of cooking rice could only be heard on the table, and after a while, the two bowls of meat were taken away, and even the soup was poured into the bowl by Gu Nuo, mixed with white rice and eaten clean.

"too delicious!"

"I've never eaten such delicious meat!"

"So this is braised pork, braised pork ribs!"

The five of them leaned on the chairs and rubbed their stomachs with satisfied faces.

Zhu Han knows how braised pork is made. After the lard is boiled out, a large amount of brown sugar is thrown down, and the aroma of the sugar is fried. He also puts expensive soy sauce, and then a large plate of meat is poured out, and the meat is wrapped in syrup. Meat is delicious, but with so much oil and sugar, it would be unreasonable if it didn't taste good.

This plate of green vegetables is also fried with lard, and a bowl of green vegetables is placed here. She only found out today that green vegetables can be so delicious.

After the meal, Zhu Han got up to clean up the mess, and Gu Qing took out the coarse clothes bought today and distributed them to everyone.

Gu Nuo and Gu Yu hugged the new clothes happily and went straight into Gu Qing's arms:

"Sister, you are so kind!"

"Sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future."

"Patriarch, why did you buy new clothes this year?" Mo Li was puzzled.

Zhu Han knelt down directly: "Patriarch, I will work hard. From now on, I will eat less and not eat meat. I beg Patriarch not to drive us away..."

When Mo Li and Yang Pei heard this, it turned out that the Patriarch meant to buy them new clothes, and they all knelt down, "Didn't the Patriarch say that mushrooms can be sold for money? Let's go to the mountains to pick mushrooms now."

"Stop!" Gu Qing grabbed Yang Pei's hands, which had been working in the fields since she married her.

Yang Pei works hard every day, does the heaviest work every day, but eats the least and the worst food. A boy who is only in his teens does the work of a mature man every day.

"Our whole family is dressed like beggars. We don't have any good clothes. You guys misunderstood me so much after all my kindness. That's all. I'll take it to the town to buy wine and drink..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Several people grabbed Gu Qing, lowered their eyebrows and said pleasantly: "We wear it, we wear it."

"That's right!" Gu Qing let go of Yang Pei's rough hand, "I'm full too, Yang Pei, you and Zhu Han, rest at home first, and go to the fields after the sun is gone. Mo Li, Gu Yu, Gu Nuo, you three will go with me to the mountain to pick mushrooms!"

"Okay!" Moli and the others immediately became motivated when they heard about picking mushrooms. Picking mushrooms is good. Picking mushrooms can be sold for money. Yesterday, two baskets were sold for 1600 renminbi, which is more than one or two taels of silver. If there are two baskets per person per day, wouldn’t that make you rich?
The more they thought about it, the more excited they followed Gu Qing up the mountain.

After Gu Qing left, Yang Pei and Zhu Han hugged the new clothes for a long time and refused to give up.

Especially Yang Pei, the hands held by the Patriarch just now are numb now, the Patriarch's hands are so soft, tender and smooth.

Yang Pei thought about it and felt a little hot all over.
Gu Qing spent a lot of money in the town this morning. Although there are more than 700 copper coins left, mushrooms are a seasonal item. The family is rich and poor, and the house is leaking everywhere. It is okay in summer, but it will freeze in winter dead?

Now she urgently needs to pick mushrooms and sell them for money, and only when she has money can she feel at ease.

The afternoon sun was very hot, and the leaves of the rice in the fields were curled, and many of them had dried up to death.

Walking all the way to the mountain, there are trees on the mountain, and it is shady, and then I feel that the heat is not so hot. At this moment, many women and children in the village come up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and feed them to chickens and ducks.

The wild vegetables that chickens and ducks can eat at the bottom of the mountain have long been dug up. Most people have to go to the mountainside to dig wild vegetables, and some people go deeper into the mountains, hoping to find some mushrooms, fungus and wild fruits to eat by themselves.

Gu Qing naturally went to the deep mountains.

Her target is mushrooms, preferably those that are more colorful, and no one in the village dare touch them.
