sturdy landlady

Chapter 84 The whole family is selfish

"Is grandma blaming us?" Gu Liruo couldn't help getting up from the ground and asked.

"What Yu Mian said is not unreasonable. Li Sheng has very high qualifications. If her spiritual roots are not destroyed, she might become the pillar of our Gu family, and the Gu family will go one step further. Speaking of it... If you hadn't been lobbying repeatedly, I wouldn't have It's a pity that I will promise you to do something to her." The old lady looked at the second lady and said in a deep voice.

The second lady was stunned when she heard the words, she didn't expect the old lady to say such words.

"Auntie, it's a done deal, and Lisheng is useless. What's the use of talking about it now? You can't just watch Liyan and Liruo disfigured. We've inquired about it. Maybe there's someone who can heal their faces. Injury." The third wife Jiang said loudly.

"Who?" The old lady asked with a frown.

"National teacher Ji Li." The second lady said hastily.

"National Teacher?" The old lady shook her head when she heard the words and said, "How can I, an old woman, please move such an extraterrestrial expert as the National Teacher, I can't even see him once."

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the national teacher is short of money recently. As long as you give enough money, you can see him and ask him to do something!" The third lady said immediately.

"How much money do you want?" The old lady asked with a heartbroken face.

"Didn't we collect 60 taels of silver last time to buy Suzaku fruit for Liyan? Later, Gu Lisheng took the lead, and the 60 taels of silver was useless. You kept it all the time, old lady. My daughter-in-law estimated that it was 60 taels." I'm afraid it's enough." The second lady said respectfully.

"What? You want so much money? What should I do if the money is out and it can't be cured? The national teacher will definitely not return the money. At that time, I will lose my wife and lose my army." The old lady said loudly, There is a strong reluctance in the language.

It's already uncomfortable enough for her to hand over the money she got. To actually give it all out, and it may not be able to cure their faces. No matter how she looks at it, she thinks it's a loss-making business.

"Old madam, mother... Apart from this method, we have no other hope, and we hope that mother will be fulfilled." The second madam knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head.

The third lady, Gu Liyan and the others kowtowed quickly.

"You let me think about it and inquire about it." The old lady said with a frown.

They put on a good show in this hall, thinking that others don't know about it, but they don't know that Gu Xiaoxiao who is sitting on the roof sees everything with his eyes and hears it with his ears.

At this moment, she was sitting on the roof leisurely watching a play, eating roasted duck legs.

To be honest, the degree of "shamelessness" of the old lady was beyond her expectation and imagination.

It seems that she is not only stingy and cruel to her, but also similar to other people in the Gu family. Once her interests are violated, or she feels that there is not much use value, she will give up.

In the past, she would give up 60 taels of silver to buy Suzaku fruit for Gu Liyan, but now why can't she give up 60 taels of silver to treat Gu Liyan's wound on her face?

Speaking of it, it's not because the crown prince doesn't pay much attention to Gu Liyan now, and he will marry two side concubines at that time, and it may not be possible to cure it with the help of the national teacher, so the old lady thinks it's not worth it.

This cheap grandmother is really realistic to the extreme.

With such a person in charge of the Gu family, it's no wonder that the Gu family members are all cold-hearted by nature, they like to kill each other, and they have no family affection at all.

After all... the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked.

As for her father, he was brought up by his grandfather. He had been in the Northwest Army since he was a child. He was not close to his grandmother, and of course he was not like her.

This may be the reason why grandma prefers the second and third uncles!

Without a son who grew up by her side, her feelings are naturally weak, and it is reasonable for her to be cold and selfish by nature, not to care about her eldest son.

But... her aunt, Gu Yumian, was raised by her cheap grandmother, but she was not spoiled at all, and her three views were very upright, which surprised Gu Xiaoxiao.

It can only be said that some people are born good people!
Looking at the sky full of stars, Gu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought and sighed after a while.

She still doesn't want to look for her aunt for the time being. She doesn't want the Gu family to know about the recovery of her spiritual roots, including her aunt.

My aunt has always been very kind to her and loves her a lot, but Gu Xiaoxiao is no longer the old Gu Lisheng, so she still has some concerns.

After a cool breeze blew on the roof, Gu Xiaoxiao quickly disappeared like an elf in the dark night.

A few moments after she left, Gu Yumian, who had left angrily before, came back again. As soon as she entered the dormitory, she saw her mother sitting on the Luohan couch and counting the bank notes. There was a box full of bank notes, all of which were of large denominations. .

"Yumian is back, don't be angry with your mother, she was deceived by them at the beginning, so she abandoned Li Sheng, if I knew this world has become like this, I wouldn't be deceived by them." The old lady Looking at her daughter, she said with regret.

Does Gu Yumian still not know who her mother is?
If the person in front of her was not her biological mother, she wouldn't bother to talk to her at all.

"What is mother doing with so many banknotes?" Gu Yumian sat beside her and asked in a low voice.

"Isn't it to save those two girls? Aren't they disfigured? The imperial physicians are helpless. I heard that only the national teacher can save them. Now the second family and the third family have come to me for the 60 taels of silver. But I have already used more than one hundred thousand taels, and now it is not enough, and I don’t know if the national teacher can help with 50 taels.” The old lady said with a heartbroken face.

"10 taels of silver is not a small sum, where did mother use it?" Gu Yumian asked with a frown.

After hearing this, the old lady felt a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "It wasn't that there was a thief at home before. Many of my jade bracelets and jewelry were stolen. Those old ladies in Beijing don't have a few decent jade bracelets and hairpins in their hands. Ah, so I did both."

Gu Yumian was very speechless after hearing this, she was about to say something, but the old lady took her hand and said with a smile: "You are 26 this year, you are already an old girl, you can't marry anymore, you didn't like those before, It doesn't matter, didn't you say... In the future, whoever is stronger will rule the world? We don't care about family status anymore, just find someone with high talent and high martial arts, and you can be reliable in the future. I heard that something mysterious People from Tianzong are very powerful, why don't you find someone from Xuantianzong to be your son-in-law?"

"Then I have to be admired by others. Mother thinks, do those people care about family status? What does our Gu family matter in the eyes of Xuantianzong disciples?" Gu Yumian said with a frown.

The old lady was stunned by what her daughter said, and she said for a moment: "Anyway, you have to marry yourself in the past two years. Who you marry is up to you, and mother will never interfere again."
