The two of them were very busy.

"What candy, what money, second daughter-in-law, please explain clearly." Old man Gu felt confused after leaving home for a long time.

Li pretended to be hesitant and said, "I don't know either. I was working at home just now, and I saw my eldest nephew take out a pot of maltose from the room, and then distribute maltose to the children in the village one by one. I don't know why, Dad, this candy is not cheap, I didn't eat a few pieces during the confinement period!"

Old lady Gu knew what Li was thinking when she heard it. After years of living with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as long as there were things related to food and money at home, she, the second daughter-in-law, had never been very happy.

So the old lady Gu rolled her eyes at Li and said fiercely, "If you don't know, don't say anything." Then she said to Gu Liang, "Tell me, what's the matter with your candy and calamus."

Li was even more angry at this time, thinking silently in her heart that the old lady really cared more about the eldest wife. Usually the money in the family was with her, and she didn't have any spare money in her hands. This time Gu Liang showed up with so much money, but the old lady's face didn't show any big movement.

Gu Liang felt that he couldn't hide the fact that he exchanged money for candy and then for calamus, and he didn't want to hide it, after all, there were so many calamus here. So Gu Liang told the truth that he had kept some money from selling Ganoderma last time, but the money for buying food was naturally hidden. Gu Liang vividly described how he kept the money, why he kept the money, and how he organized the children in the village to help dig calamus for money.

Originally, Gu Liang thought that Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu would definitely blame him. After all, this was in ancient times. According to convention, the money earned by a family living together would naturally be confiscated. That is, before the family was divided, there could be no private money in public. This would break the rules.

Even after hearing this, Li was waiting for Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu to get angry and scold Gu Liang for hiding private money.

However, Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu did not do as Gu Liang thought. The first reaction of Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu was that their grandson was only ten years old, but he could do such a big thing and dared to command so many people to help him work. This was something that only the head of the village and the official would do.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Gu couldn't help but feel that her eldest grandson would definitely be a big shot when he grew up, and she quickly kissed Gu Liang. Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu were worthy of being husband and wife for so long. At this time, they were thinking about this, and they hurriedly rubbed Gu Liang's head.

This scene not only confused Gu Liang, but also Li. She said in surprise: "Dad and Mom, this nephew has hidden so much money and didn't give it to you, why are you still..." The implication is that you not only didn't scold him, but praised him instead.

Gu Lao Han naturally felt that the family's money belonged to Gu Lao Ma, and he didn't worry about this person. He cared more about whether his children and grandchildren had a future.

Gu Lao Ma thought that before the division of the family, her sons should give her money as a matter of course, so she didn't care about the money earned by her grandson. What's more, in Gu Lao Ma's eyes, most of the money earned by her grandson was given to her voluntarily, so it was naturally no problem to leave a small amount for herself.

So in the end, Gu Liang was not scolded, but Li was secretly very angry, thinking that Gu Lao Han and his wife treated their grandson differently.

Since knowing that Gu was digging this in the river, the whole family knew that Acorus calamus could be sold, and they did not stop Gu Liang from exchanging sugar for Acorus calamus. At the same time, when they went out to do their own work, they would bring back Acorus calamus from the cracks of stones or ditches to Gu Liang to dry. The efficiency of adults is extraordinary. They can get as much as a child can get in a day.

Gu Liang continued to exchange sugar for two days. During these two days, the children in the village had exchanged sugar the day before, so they were not so enthusiastic about digging. It was more like playing games.

The little girl on the first day did not come on the second day, but came again on the third day. She was still as hard-working as others, and her speed was two or three times faster than others. So much so that she accidentally bumped her knee while digging Acorus calamus. Fortunately, it was not a big deal. It was just a little scratched, but it was not a big deal for rural children. It was normal to bump and bang. Even the little girl did not cry or make a fuss on the spot, indicating that it was nothing, and Gu Liang did not take it to heart.

In the afternoon, when Gu Liang was drying the calamus after exchanging the sugar, the little girl came over.

"Aunt, I won't go, I won't go, please, I don't want to go, please don't go." The little girl said bitterly.

begged, and was dragged towards Gu Liang's house very reluctantly.

The lady who grabbed the girl said viciously: "Sun Xiaohua, I tell you, you have to go even if you don't want to. No wonder you haven't been working at home these two days. It turns out that you went to work at someone else's house. Look at you, you broke your knee like this. I must let the Gu family give an explanation."

Sun Xiaohua was even more scared after hearing this, and she began to sob, crying and shouting: "Auntie, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt, don't go to his house, I volunteered to help him."

The woman saw that Sun Xiaohua was crying, and her tone softened a little, and whispered: "You stupid girl, you don't know how to think about good things. You helped him work and got injured, you must blackmail him, how Worthy of your injury. "

Sun Xiaohua cried even louder when she heard that her aunt wanted to blackmail the Gu family. She sat on the ground and grabbed her aunt's hand tightly, saying miserably: "Aunt, I won't go, I won't go. It wasn't him who hurt me. Let's not blackmail him. I won't go out at all in the future and help you with work at home."

When Sun Xiaohua's aunt saw Sun Xiaohua's behavior, she felt disgusted and cursed: "Why are you crying? You are a jinx. You killed your parents. Now you want to kill me too. I tell you, the things at home are supposed to be yours. Don't try to sneak out every day. From tomorrow on, don't think about going out. Work for me at home honestly, otherwise you and your brother will have no food to eat."

Sun Xiaohua was so scared by her aunt that she couldn't cry anymore. She could only sit on the ground and sob helplessly, shaking her head to express her refusal.

Seeing her expression, her aunt stopped being polite and picked her up and walked towards Gu's house step by step.

At this time, Gu Liang was drying the calamus and heard the crying and shouted, so he hurriedly stood up to see what was going on.

Gu Liang only knew that the crying girl was one of the girls who helped him dig the calamus. The woman didn't know the other person, maybe it was his mother or something.

Before Gu Liang could understand clearly, the woman had already walked to the front of the big field in front of Gu's house.
