The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 5

Seeing the three of them walking away, Mrs. Cao looked back at the second girl, raised her hand, and pretended to hit her.She turned around and ran back to the house with a grin.

Gu Laosi was also a little dissatisfied, "If people see it, don't talk about it!?"

"Got it! Got it!" Cao Shi pursed her lips and said indifferently.

Mrs. Gu took four Wen to buy string, seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly led Gu Raniang and Gu Shilang home.

Xiao Ruoniang had already cooked the rice, the batter was battered, and the leftover steamed buns were distilled.

Last meal at home.

Gu Chuhan got the rope, only drank a bowl of miscellaneous batter, and began to gesture with the rope.

Gu Shilang hurriedly said that he was washing the pots and dishes, and asked Gu Raniang to come down and make a network.

Gu Raniang quickly cleaned up the pots and bowls, and came over, "What the hell, I'll practice with straw first!" They will only have a little bran noodles left tomorrow, and they will be completely out of food.

She has been out collecting and selling firewood all day today, and she has no time to learn.

Gu Chuhan took the straw and taught her first.

Gu Raniang was full of anger in her heart, and she was completely out of food again, and she knew how to make up after just two times.

Mrs. Gu also learned from the side.

The four-cent string has only two nets.

"I'll sell it tomorrow morning, six cents each, not less than one cent!" Gu Chuhan set a dead price.

Gu Raniang bit the corner of the quilt and shed tears in the middle of the night.

The next day, Gu Chuhan asked Ruoniang to bring her pair of cotton boots and sell them as well.

Gu Raniang didn't stop her.Holding the cotton boots and Luozi, he drank a bowl of chaffy flour with Mrs. Gu, and then went out.

Gu Shilang continued to go up the mountain to cut firewood. Even if he is small and weak, he can save a little.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang came back before noon, with joy on their faces, "I sold them for twelve renminbi, and I bought thread! I sold the cotton boots for three renminbi, and I bought half a catty of brown rice."

Xie's needlework is very good, Gu Jiulang didn't wear those cotton boots a few times, and they sold them for three pennies.

Fortunately, the family can change some food to eat.

The grandparents and grandchildren cooked porridge, kneaded some winter wild vegetables with salt lumps, and ate them together.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang took Gu Shilang up the mountain to cut firewood, and when they came back in the evening, they hurriedly broke out the nets, and the next day they carried the firewood and the nets to sell together.

Seeing that she was five or sixty years old, she was carrying two bundles of firewood and went out with Gu Ranniang. The village mother-in-law said to her second daughter-in-law, Lianshi, "Look at your mother-in-law, she is so old that she is walking with two bundles of firewood. What about the wind! I really think about my grandson, and my whole body is full of energy!"

Lian sighed, "I'm often in charge of the meal, and my son chases after me and calls me grandma, but I don't see anyone so rare!"

Being able to earn money, Mrs. Gu felt that she had something to do, so she naturally felt a surge of energy all over her body.Gu Raniang and Gu Raniang sold the firewood, the nettles, one catty of brown rice and three catties of bran, and bought thread and rope with the rest of the money, and rushed home.

I collect firewood for half a day, and make nets when I get home in the evening.

Within two days, it snowed.

Gu Chuhan refused to sell the firewood at home. They had to burn it themselves, and they had to keep out the cold. When it snowed, she would not let Mrs. Gu and Gu Shilang go to collect firewood. If there is too much, I will replace it with needlework and rags to make purses!" She can't move now, so she can only instruct Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang to make these small odds and ends.

Gu Raniang counted the twelve nets that had already been tied, and the remaining strings could be tied for three more. If they were sold, they would be worth ninety renminbi, and she nodded, "Okay!"

Mrs. Gu thought her skills were not good, so she practiced with a straw.

Once the Xinluozi is finished, the grandparents and grandchildren take it out and sell it.

After receiving the budget of [-] Wen, Mrs. Gu and Gu Raniang couldn't help but beam with joy. According to this, at least they can get through the day slowly.

"Yo! Mother-in-law and Ran Niang have been coming to the town every day for the past few days. Have they found a way to make money?" Mrs. Gu's fourth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cao, stopped her from the street with a smile on her face.

The smiles on the faces of the two froze, Gu Raniang hurriedly said, "No! Not at all!"

Looking at her, Mrs. Gu smiled, "Sell a few bundles of firewood for two catties of brown rice for the winter!" There was no mention of netting.

Mrs. Cao glanced at the gate of Xiufang not far away, and smiled, "I said a long time ago, as long as you are strong and not lazy, you can always have enough to eat! You can find a way to make money, and I and the head of the family can rest assured!"

Mrs. Gu didn't want to talk to her, so she hummed and pulled Gu Raniang away.

Gu Raniang was worried, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma! If they know about our networking..."

"So what if you know?! You didn't steal it, you didn't grab it! But the soup is hot!" Mrs. Gu was still angry and resentful.

Gu Raniang nodded after thinking about it.

Over there, Mrs. Cao turned around and found out that they had earned one or two hundred coins these days, and they were almost catching up with their family. She turned her eyes and saw the second daughter-in-law coming to the street, and recruited her with a smile. "Second sister-in-law!"

When Lian heard that Mrs. Gu thought of a way to help the third family to earn money, don't mention how angry she was, "Hmph! Damn old woman! There's no way to be biased! All the family property is given to the third family, and they work hard to earn money!"

"Who said no! Who told us not to love her!" Cao sighed.

Lian raised her eyes and looked at her, "The fourth daughter-in-law! It is said that the things of the dead old woman are public, and the money she earns is also public, and we have a share!"

Seeing her angry and dissatisfied eyes, Mrs. Cao smiled, "Who in our family dares to provoke them now? Don't say that the money earned by the mother-in-law is public, we have a share. It's just that we didn't go bankrupt to help, and we didn't support their mother." A few of them will call us heartless and righteous, regardless of brotherhood!"

Lian Shi curled her lips, "You are right! Every time the old woman comes to my house, I will eat whatever she wants, and I will take the initiative to give her a meal!"

"So, we can't do those things. Now it's good enough without paying. If you want to get money out of their hands, you are only those who want to profit!" Cao sighed again.

"People who make money..." Lian's expression changed a few times, he laughed, "Hey! They want to come, and we will suffer! Let's not talk about them, the fourth daughter-in-law you mentioned last time, ask How is it?" Asked about the daughter's marriage.

Mrs. Cao was a little embarrassed, "Second sister-in-law! That family, I think, is just like that. His kid is not good-looking, and he doesn't know how to behave! Let's find another good family for Xianniang!"

Lian's came to town for this matter. Hearing what she said, she knew that the marriage was getting dirty again, and her face immediately became gloomy.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Cao said a lot more, that the family is not good, if it is not a good match, she praised Gu Xianniang again and again.

Lian returned home with a sullen face.

The thatched hut at the head of the village was full of joy.

"I've earned [-] Wen in just a few days, so I've found a way out!" Mrs. Gu sighed as she touched the newly bought string.

Gu Chuhan looked at it, and said, "After a while, we will be learned by others, and then we will not be able to sell the price."

"Ah!? Then... what should we do?" Gu Raniang was shocked.
