God's hexagram favorite concubine

Chapter 55 Gu's Calculation 6
"Old woman, who are you going to sell?" Just as Gu's voice fell, a slightly old-fashioned voice sounded from outside the curtain.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu's heart skipped a beat.

I thought, why did this old thing come back so early today?
Xia Xiaoyue's expression also changed. Didn't her father go to town today and come back at night?
Xia Guangqing opened the curtain, walked into the room, frowned and asked Gu Shi again, "I heard everything you said to Xiaoyue just now, tell me what's going on?"

A guilty look flashed in Gu Shi's eyes, but immediately after, she became tough again.

"I plan to sell Qingcheng to the landlord Wang's family in the next village." Gu Shi said with his back straightened.

"What?" Xia Guangqing's expression changed suddenly, "Old woman, are you crazy?"

After all, Qingcheng is also his granddaughter.

Although in their place, some people are too poor to eat, and there are many children in their families, they will sell their children.But isn't their old Xia's family too poor now?

He works as an accountant in a small restaurant in the town, and his family has a few acres of fertile land. The eldest son Xia Jiaqiang is also capable, and the family's life is not bad.

Why is this woman thinking of selling Qingcheng?

Seeing that Xia Guangqing dared to yell at him, Gu Shi slapped the low table next to him.

"You old man, why are you yelling at me? You don't know what that eldest daughter of yours did? She conceived before marriage and gave birth to three little scoundrels, embarrassing our Xia family! Let us The Xia family has become the laughing stock of the whole village, and our Xiaoyue has been implicated! Xiaoyue has reached the age to talk about her husband's family, because Xia Zishang ruined the reputation of our Xia family, so far no matchmaker has come to say Dear! You don’t feel sorry for Xiaoyue when you’re old, but I still feel bad for you!” Gu yelled loudly, “Do you want Xiaoyue to never get married? Also, brother Bao is here too. At the age of the private school, every mouth in the family needs to eat! Where can I get the spare money for Brother Bao to repair? My mother, I have broken my heart for this family, and I am wholeheartedly for the good of your old Xia family. You are kind, I don’t appreciate it , and bit me like a mad dog!"

Hearing Gu's mention of Brother Bao, Xia Guangqing's expression softened immediately.

Yes.

Their old Xia's family had never had any scholars, but he planned to let Brother Bao, his only eldest grandson, go to a private school to study.

But Shuxiu of the private school needs 15 taels of silver a year, and their old Xia's life is just food and clothing. He has been worrying about Brother Bao's Shuxiu recently.

"You said just now, who are you going to sell Qingcheng to? She is so young, why would they buy her?" Xia Guangqing asked after pondering for a moment.

"The landlord's house next door." Gu Shi took a sip and said, "The youngest son of their family is about the same age as Qingcheng, and died of illness. He wants to find a girl who is suitable for a yin marriage..."

Hearing what Gu said, Xia Guangqing's face changed again, and the hairs all over his body stood on end!

Isn't this a yin marriage to let Qingcheng go to be buried with that kid?

Just as he was about to say no, Gu Shi's voice continued to ring in his ears.

"Landlord Wang's family was willing to offer 50 taels of silver to buy a daughter-in-law for his son. I saw this as an opportunity, so I entrusted Qingcheng's birthday horoscope to Landlord Wang. It turned out to be a coincidence. The horoscope of Qingcheng's birthday and Landlord Wang The son of the family is just right, no, landlord Wang sent a deposit of ten taels of silver yesterday afternoon, and send someone to pick up Qingcheng tomorrow."
