The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 18
When visiting relatives, you need to get gifts, and when relatives come, you need to entertain them. Drinks and food, as well as lucky money, are necessary expenses for the New Year.

Now at home, let alone the ceremony of visiting relatives, there is not even food and wine for entertaining relatives, let alone lucky money.

Gu Chuhan doesn't need to give it, but Mrs. Gu is an elder, and those who come to visit relatives must give her New Year's greetings. The older ones will not be given, and the children of each family are always indispensable.

Thinking of the few copper coins left in her hand, Mrs. Gu really wanted to lose face and not give it to anyone!
Lian knew the situation, and seeing her face, she even snickered, "Chunxiu and Chunying are definitely coming, as well as my mother's brothers and my mother's nephew and nephew. And Chunli from my second uncle's family, Chunfang and Chunyan. If they don't eat at home, they will just say New Year's greetings!"

Mrs. Gu pursed her lips for a long time, "There's no need to discuss this! Our relatives, you have already separated when you separated!"

Mentioning this Lian's made me panic, Chunxiu's in-law's family was rich, and the dead old woman was eccentric, so she gave Chunxiu's family to the third bedroom!The things I get every year are good, and I can eat good food at her house!But Chunxiu had been impatient with the third wife for a long time, and the third daughter-in-law hanged herself, but no one came, so she burned the paper and left.

The old woman was forced to borrow several taels of silver earlier, and she couldn't even serve a decent dish for the New Year!Still want to entertain! ?
Lian sighed and said, "It's not that this year the third daughter-in-law is gone, and the family owes money to each family, so it's really tight. I haven't seen my mother buy chickens for the first day of the new year. Our head of the family said that Well, Chunxiu will come to my house to eat first this year! Oh, and Shiro’s aunt and uncle’s, they all come to our house to eat together!" She deliberately mentioned Gu Silang, and sprinkled salt on Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang.

The eldest son, Gu Silang, ran away with the money, Mrs. Xie died, and the family is still in debt, so what can I do to entertain him?Have the face to entertain?Not auspicious!

The family only has cabbage, radishes and turnips now, and they are not even willing to make rice cakes. They need to buy a chicken for the New Year, and they have to drink chicken soup on the morning of the first day of the new year, which heralds peace and prosperity. This is indispensable.Eggs and meat...not much to buy either.With a big family, plus the five of them, three or five dishes are not enough to eat.The best way is to go to other families to eat and let them help entertain for a year.

But Mrs. Gu didn't know what she was thinking, "It's enough for each family to entertain each other! I'm still here, and my mother only has this little ability, and my mother knows it herself! They eat whatever I do!"

She put it down, and after saying this, Lian wanted to say more, but rolled his eyes, "I'll go home and have a look at the pot!"

Seeing her leave, Gu Raniang asked puzzledly, "Grandma! It's not certain whether the elder sisters will come or not, and we really don't have food to serve. If the second aunt wants to, let her take her away!"

Seeing the anger and resentment in her eyes, Gu Chuhan thought of the ten taels of silver borrowed by Mrs. Gu to fix her leg. She and Mrs. Gu had knelt together for two days before asking for it, and he exhaled heavily in his heart.

Mrs. Gu was busy with the yeast in her hand, she didn't speak for a long time, but her face was very ugly.

Gu Chuhan looked at it for a while, then turned around and went out with a stick.After the first month, her legs were completely healed, but now the problem is that they can't get out for years!She didn't think of it before and forgot about these things.

It's just that now you can't make much money just by making a network.The embroidery workshops almost sold out the entire Xiangyang Mansion for the nets they sold.Clothes are late again, only five or six days left.

Gu Chuhan called Gu Shilang and went to town with her.

"Ninth brother! What do you want to do in the town?" Gu Shilang still wanted to help with work.

"Look." Gu Chuhan said, walking slowly into the town.

During the New Year's Eve, the town is full of people shouting and hawking, and the bustle is not to mention how lively it is.

Gu Chuhan looked around, the vegetable stalls, butcher shops, and food stalls had the best business.The business in Buzhuang is not as good as before, but there are still many people.

Suddenly, I saw a stall that was equally lively, with strips of Spring Festival couplets, which were extremely red and festive.

"Spring Festival couplets!?" Gu Chuhan's eyes lit up immediately.
