I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 500 Money Can't Buy My Son Willingness

"Mother, why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Yuanlong blinked, looking like a good and innocent boy.

But Xia Ying will not be fooled by his superficial image.She is too aware of the virtues of her eldest son!

She raised her eyebrows coolly: "What did you promise to them again? Did you get them the latest version of the comic book? Or make them a custom-made mouse pen with their names engraved on it?"

"All." Gu Yuanlong replied in a low voice, "But more people still ask me for dried rabbit meat, as well as rabbit meat sauce, bamboo rat meat sauce, etc. Among them, I sell dried rabbit meat for ten yuan a catty, and rabbit meat sauce for a penny A spoonful of money, bamboo rat meat sauce two cents a spoonful, this spoonful is just enough for them to eat for a meal, everyone likes it very much, and the business is very booming!"

Xia Ying helped her forehead.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you actually opened up new business for me?"

"It's also mother, the meat sauce you made is delicious! You also know that in the canteen of the academy, the taste of big pot rice is not good, so every time you eat, if you can add a slice or two of dried rabbit meat as a garnish, it will make people eat it at least. If there is meat sauce, everyone can eat an extra bowl of rice!" Gu Yuanlong still looked like a pure little white rabbit.

"I didn't plan to do this business at the beginning, my son. After all, what you gave me was not enough for me to eat! It's just that everyone is under the same roof as me, and everyone eats and lives together. They all see that I add extra meals every day. , Even if I don’t give it to them, they will come to grab it! Instead of doing this, I might as well exchange some money, and treat it as a hard work for my mother.”

After finishing speaking, he took out a tightly wrapped handkerchief and handed it to Xia Ying with both hands. "In the past two months, the child has earned a total of one or two or three renminbi, and it has been exchanged for silver. Mother, please accept it."

Xia Ying took the money, and she weighed it in her hand. "You are openly doing business again, and the master of the academy didn't say anything?"

"Mr. Wu is blocking me! And I told Mr. Wu that I won't take any of the money I earn, and I will give it all to your mother to do good deeds, so he just turned a blind eye." Gu Yuanlong replied with a smile.

Xia Ying was speechless for a long while.

So quickly, he completely dragged Mr. Wu over, and let him be his umbrella!

Gu Tuo, who was driving outside, was also very helpless towards this son.

"Since you don't take any money, why do you do these things? Isn't it good to study hard?"

"I've also read my book. I've been in the top three of these quizzes, and I haven't failed once!" Gu Yuanlong immediately said again.

Then he took out a small bundle and handed it to Xia Ying. "This is the 30 taels of silver that the child got as a reward, mother, please keep it for me."

Just after meeting, Gu Tuo was choked by his son again.

Xia Ying also sighed: "You child, do you regard making money as a pastime after studying?"

"That's right! And my son really likes the feeling of making money. Seeing the money in his hand accumulating little by little, and thinking of handing it over to mother after accumulating a certain amount, you will be happy, mother, and my son will be even happier!" Gu Yuanlong He said with a smile.

As he spoke, he blinked again. "Mother, you should be happy to receive the money, right?"

Xia Ying nodded, she put away all the money.

"Of course mother is happy. My brother Long is so capable, mother is very proud of you!"

She stroked Gu Yuanlong's head to encourage him.Gu Yuanlong laughed happily.

Gu Tuo managed to slow down, and when he heard Xia Ying's words, he began to feel sour again: "You are clearly encouraging him to keep working hard! A good scholar, he doesn't do elegant things in his spare time, but one day It’s late to figure out how to make money, what kind of talk is that? When he passes the exam and becomes an official, his colleagues will definitely laugh at him if they find out about it!”

"So what? It's hard to buy my son's willingness!" Xia Ying responded loudly, "Why is playing the piano and composing poems a hobby, but making money is not a hobby? Brother Long didn't do any harm to the world, why should others laugh at him ?”

She said to Gu Yuanlong: "Don't worry. When I go back to the village, my mother will make a few more pots of meat sauce and bring them to the academy for you after the New Year."

"Okay, mother, you are so kind to me!" Gu Yuanlong smiled happily and narrowed his eyes.

Gu Tuo, who was driving outside, was completely speechless.

He could only raise his whip. "drive!"

He didn't say anything, just accept his fate and become a coachman!
By the time their family returned to Gujia Village, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month.

There is also a new look of joy everywhere in the village, and the smiles on the faces of adults and children seem to be much more.Even some of the old houses are gone, replaced by brand new big houses.

When they saw Gu Tuo driving the carriage back, the children in the village shouted loudly——

"Uncle Gu is back!"

Then, all the villagers came out and surrounded them.

Xia Ying and Gu Tuo didn't react until they were sent back home by the big guys.

"Which show are you acting in?"

"Hey, Tuo Geer Tuo Ge's daughter-in-law, every family in our village can have such a lively year this year, but it's all thanks to you!" Full of relief.

"You decided at the beginning of the year to let the whole village raise rabbits together. In the beginning, there were only a dozen families joining in. Now the whole village is doing rabbit business. Everyone has made a lot of money this year! In addition, in the second half of the year, didn't you introduce it again? Is a medicine merchant coming to collect rabbit blood? That is another income. This year, the whole village earns two or three times more money from rabbits alone than from farming, otherwise how can everyone live such a comfortable year?"

Seeing that everyone in the village is well-off, and they don't have to make calculations when buying new year's goods, in order to make an extra piece of new clothes and eat less meat, God knows how proud he is as the head of the clan!
Of course he understood that it was all thanks to Gu Tuo and his wife.

To put it more bluntly - it's all thanks to Xia Ying!

She initiated the raising of rabbits first, and it was her suggestion to promote the raising of rabbits to the whole village.So, now that the village looks like this, he can't help but be grateful to Xia Ying.

No way, this little daughter-in-law is really capable!He can't refuse!
In this way, he didn't dare to look down on Xia Ying anymore.

Gu Tuo also noticed the change in the old patriarch's attitude towards Xia Ying, and the man curled his lips in satisfaction.

"They are all surnamed Gu. I have a bite of meat to eat, and of course I will take everyone to drink soup. So in the future, I hope that we can continue to unite as one and make progress together. But don't feel great just because you have a little money. I started to enjoy myself. We still have a long way to go, we must use our hearts and energy to live a better life together!"

He hurriedly lost the concept of 'everyone is one' that Xia Ying had preached before to the whole village.

Everyone listened to what he said, and there will be a better life in the future?

They were also very energetic, and everyone nodded in unison.

"Okay, we all listen to Brother Tuo!"
