Chapter 63
It's just that now, Gu Yuanhao and Xiao Qifu are still ignorant of the concept of not having much money at home, but Gu Yuanlong has already understood the stakes.

He took the initiative to suggest: "In this case, then just be frugal at home in the future. You don't need to eat so many dishes, one meat dish is enough for each meal. And I don't need to use too good a pen and paper, otherwise my classmates and I It's different, and it's not convenient to integrate into the big guys. As long as we survive these two years, when I take the provincial examination the next year, I will be a scholar in the exam and get the imperial salary, and the family will be much more comfortable."

The township examination, also known as the scholar examination, is held twice every three years.There will be one in the second half of this year, and the second will have to wait until the next year.Gu Yuanlong was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but there was nothing he could do.

But now that the pressure of reality has been added to his shoulders, his expression has become more resolute in an instant.

Hearing what he said, Gu Tuo shook his head immediately. "How can I do that? I will think about the money matter again. No matter what, I can't wrong you!"

"We're all a family, so why not be wronged? As long as we are together as a family and live in peace and stability, that's better than anything else!" Gu Yuanlong said.

He waved to Gu Yuanhao again. "Brother, help Dad go there!"

"Oh!"

Gu Yuanhao hurried over, took Gu Tuo's arm and dragged him out.

When Gu Tuo left the room, he said without giving up: "Brother Long, listen to me..."

"Don't say any more, it's settled like this!"

The father and son slept in the same room that night, so Gu Tuo must have worked hard to persuade Gu Yuanlong.But the next morning, when Xia Ying served breakfast with only one meat dish, Gu Tuo just blinked his eyes, but didn't say anything.

In the end, he was still persuaded by Gu Yuanlong!
As the head of the family, he really does not have a sense of existence!

But it was like this at home, but when he was outside, the villagers' attitude towards him was obviously much more cordial.After all, yesterday when I heard Gu Yuanlong uttered that strategy in public, some folks who were slow to react went home to ponder it carefully, only to realize the deep meaning in his attention, and they immediately admired Gu Yuanlong very much.

Not to mention the patriarch, he was already overwhelmed by Gu Yuanlong's ingenuity at that time!

So from the second day onwards, the eyes of the whole village looking at their family changed from the initial alienation to reverence from the bottom of their hearts, especially for Gu Tuo, the 'head of the family'.

As for their family, since they still have more than 30 taels of silver in their hands, which is enough for them to last for half a year, Xia Ying simply suggested: "Father, you are injured now, so let's take care of you in a few months." Don't go to the town. You heal your injuries first, and then we can discuss the rest."

Gu Yuanlong readily agreed. "That's how it should be."

Gu Yuanlong and Xia Ying, the two people who are really in charge of the house, have reached an agreement. Even if Gu Tuo is a little unhappy, he also understands that the end of the objection must be dismissed by the two together.Then he might as well stop making fun of himself.

So he nodded honestly. "it is good."

But he said so, but in the following days, apart from doing housework every day, he picked up the plane and saw, and circled around all kinds of wood, large and small.After a month, he has already made a lot of new furniture!
As for those things that he had sold the technology to Yongxinghang in the county seat before, he didn't do anything!
Aunt Qi was honest for a while after pretending to be sick, but seeing that Xia Ying didn't take any follow-up measures, she slowly gained courage again.

While Xia Ying was taking the children out to play, she deliberately stabbed her again: "Ying Niang, why haven't I seen Brother Tuo go out to sell furniture recently? You have such a large population, you can only go out but not in, How can I do that? You are a daughter-in-law, you have to persuade Brother Tuo not to be beaten down because of one or two incidents, and then you don't care about your family!"

Look at her worried posture, as if their home is about to be eaten up!
Xia Ying sneered in her heart, but her face was full of enthusiasm. "Seventh Aunt, you really deserve to come here. You are so right about these truths! But you also know that my man went to the town to sell furniture before, but he was cheated by someone. Later, he went to Changning Town next door and ate it again. The lawsuit and the beating, the blood scabs on his back just came off in the past two days, but there are still deep scars left!"

"We were really terrified, and we didn't know which other company was worthy of trust. But you are well-informed, and you know more people outside than us. Since you have said so, there must be someone Recommend us a suitable shop, right? Tell us quickly, I’ll make a note of it, and I’ll go find it with the child’s father tomorrow!”

Here again, here again!

Aunt Seven's liver trembled violently.

This little lady, ever since she was scolded by Gu Tuo for arguing with her in public, she changed her strategy and started to put a high hat on herself.But how could she wear such a tall hat?
Now she just came here to inquire about the news, and by the way, she gloated at other people's misfortunes—you little girl, didn't you sneer a lot in front of me before?What did you say that your man is pampering you, buying materials and cutting clothes as you please.As a result, Gu Tuo's career is in a slump now, and your family hasn't earned any income for a month. I see how you are still embarrassed!

However, Xia Ying didn't give her this chance.She actually grabbed the words of getting up again, and directly counterattacked, driving her to a dead end!
Seventh Aunt was so frightened that she quickly backed away.

"I'm just a farmer in the countryside. How can I know any shops in the town? I just asked casually just now, caring about you, nothing else!"

"Ah, that's it?" Xia Ying lowered her shoulders in disappointment, "Fortunately, I thought that Aunt Seven was paying so much attention to my family's current situation because she took pity on us and wanted to help us find a way out! But you just use your words, what's the point? No action at all! Hey!"

She sighed several times, and her disappointed words cut Aunt Seven's face like a knife.

The villagers who came out to enjoy the cool air also looked this way when they heard Xia Ying's sigh.Seventh Aunt felt uncomfortable seeing the eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, so she turned around and went home!

Xia Ying shrugged her shoulders, and continued to hold Xiao Qi, push Sister Fu, and walk around the village to greet people.

When Aunt Seven returned home, she let go of her posture and scolded Xia Ying, a young man who didn't respect the old.

Just as he was scolding happily, he suddenly heard a loud noise from outside, why didn't the voice sound quite right?

Seventh Aunt's little girl had already looked out through the crack of the door.

"Mother, there are some unfamiliar faces! Judging by their posture, it doesn't look like a good thing!"

"They're coming our way... Oh, next door!"
