The ginseng was sold for a total of twenty-one taels of silver, not to mention that Tang Tiezhu was also a big income for Gu Manniang.

The shopkeeper took twenty-one taels of silver to Tang Tiezhu, and Tang Tiezhu handed the silver to Gu Manniang in a blink of an eye.

Tang Tiezhu's move, not to mention the surprise of the shopkeeper and Gu Manniang, even Tang Tiezhu himself felt a little incredible. I think he tried his best to get some silver from Mrs. Tang to gamble. Even the last time he won the gamble, he wanted to sneak a little bit of silver.

But now he is so conscious, and directly hands over the silver to Gu Manniang's hands. Could it be that she was too afraid of Gu Manniang's fist? That's why he subconsciously handed over the silver to Gu Manniang?

No matter what the reason is, anyway, Tang Tiezhu regretted it a little bit at this time. But the hand has been stretched out, can it still be retracted and hit in the face?

And Gu Manniang was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then took the silver handed over by Tang Tiezhu. And although this shopkeeper is a little strange, he is an outsider after all, so he doesn't say much else.

After selling ginseng, Tang Tiezhu was very relieved. Out of the pharmacy, the whole person exuded a happy atmosphere.

"Manniang, is our family coming out, why don't we go shopping and buy something." Tang Tiezhu said enthusiastically to Gu Manniang.

Gu Manniang glanced at Tang Tiezhu lightly, and looked at Tang Tiezhu, who was exuding excitement all over the person. After a long while, he said to him, "Do you have anything you want to buy?" ”

He wanted to buy as much as he wanted, and if he could, he would buy everything. But he didn't dare to spend the twenty-one taels of silver that he sold, and he was going to use the silver for business. I don't know if this bit of silver is enough.

Since then, Gu Manniang asked like this, and he hurriedly said. "I don't have anything to buy. Manniang, do you have anything you want to buy? Today I have silver, and I will buy it for you later. ”

Although Tang Tiezhu was reluctant to spend a copper plate, he understood that if Man Niang didn't take him into the mountain, he wouldn't be able to dig up any ginseng. Therefore, he is still willing to buy things for Gu Manniang. After all, he still had to rely on Gu Manniang to enter the mountain, and it was also appropriate to buy something for Gu Manniang.

Although Gu Manniang couldn't understand why Tang Tiezhu was so generous, she didn't think about spending Tang Tiezhu a copper plate, she was afraid that if she did, Tang Tiezhu would let her return it to him ten times as much.

"I don't have anything to buy." Gu Manniang said lightly, "If there is nothing to buy, let's go back first." It's not safe to put so much silver on your body. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Tiezhu didn't dare to delay any longer. Although Gu Manniang's force value is high, if this silver is lost, who will he cry to?

I brought Tang Xiaobao and them to the town today, although I didn't take them for a good walk. But these two children have sugar gourds to eat, and they are very happy, and they will care about whether to go shopping or not.

When children want to follow adults on the streets, they usually want adults to buy something to eat for them. So, they really don't feel any interest in shopping or something.

Therefore, this time the family of four entered the town, which can be regarded as quite a success.

When she went back, Gu Manniang thought it was too hot to hold people in her hands, so she wanted to put the two children directly in the back basket, and she could easily carry the two children home. But the basket on her back was filled with prey, and it was very unclean, so Gu Manniang had to give up in the end. can only be like when she came, she and Tang Tiezhu went home with a child in their hands.

Tang Tiezhu stepped into the house, and before he was in a hurry to drink a sip of water, he was pulled away by Mrs. Tang. I knew what Mrs. Tang wanted to do with my toes, it was nothing more than pulling Tang Tiezhu aside to ask people how much silver they had sold at the meeting. Or he wanted Tang Tiezhu to give her some silver.

However, Mrs. Tang's idea was wrong. She did everything she could, but she didn't expect that Tang Tiezhu would be so stupid that he would directly hand over the silver to Gu Manniang. This silver is in Gu Manniang's hands, she wants silver, but there is no door. No, it should be said that there are not even windows.

"Third child, tell me quickly, how much silver you sold for that ginseng in total." As expected, Mrs. Tang pulled Tang Tiezhu aside, and the first thing she asked was about silver.

Tang Tiezhu naturally wouldn't lie to Mrs. Tang, and when he saw her ask, he told her 1510, "That ginseng is young, and it was only sold for 21 taels of silver......

"What? Only twenty-one taels of silver? Mrs. Tang's eyes widened, and she looked at Tang Tiezhu with a look of hatred, "At that time, I said that I would accompany you to sell ginseng and check for you, so as not to be deceived." I eat more salt than you eat rice. But what about you? But you kid won't listen to me, and you have to let your daughter-in-law go with you. A good ginseng is only sold for twenty-one taels of silver, and you say you are not stupid. ”

Mrs. Tang couldn't wait to knock something open Tang Tiezhu's head to see what was going on in his head. I don't know what ecstasy soup Gu Manniang has poured into the third child recently, so that the third child has always believed Gu Manniang's words. And she, who is a mother, now the third child doesn't take her seriously at all.

If she went with the third child this time, the ginseng would definitely be sold for fifty taels of silver, and thirty taels of silver. But Lao Zai didn't believe her words, but asked Gu Manniang to accompany him. It's really infuriating. Could it be that the third child married a daughter-in-law and forgot about her as a mother?

However, there seems to be something wrong with that. Others say that they forgot their mother-in-law after marrying their daughter-in-law, but they have just married their daughter-in-law, and this son greets him in his heart, so he will be good to his mother-in-law. And the third child of her family doesn't seem to be in this case. When the third child first married Gu Manniang, he never saw the third child being warm to Gu Manniang. Even if she gave birth to a child, she didn't see that it was good for Manniang. And now, both of them have children who are several years old, could it be that the third child is good at this time, so he will be obedient to his daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Tang thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand what Tang Tiezhu's mind was thinking. And this is not the time to think about this, the most important thing is to let the third child's silver be handed over to her for safekeeping.

Tang Tiezhu only listened to what Tang Pozi said, and didn't take it to heart at all. said perfunctorily, "Mother, if I dig ginseng next time, I will definitely let my mother accompany me." ”

Mrs. Tang didn't hear Tang Tiezhu's perfunctory, she only felt that Tang Tiezhu finally knew that she was a good mother. So after hearing Tang Tiezhu's words, she nodded with great satisfaction, and then continued, "Third child, you have to believe in your mother, your mother has always been good for you." ”

Hearing this, Tang Tiezhu nodded hurriedly.

"Since you know that I am good to you, then you can give me the money from selling ginseng for safekeeping." Mrs. Tang said as a matter of course.

Tang Tiezhu heard Mrs. Tang's words, but he was dumbfounded, and he was stunned on the spot.

"What? Third, can't you still trust your mother and me? Seeing that Tang Tiezhu didn't speak, Mrs. Tang thought that he didn't agree, and her face immediately sank.

Tang Tiezhu hurriedly explained when he saw Mrs. Tang like this, "Mother, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that I have the silver to use." ”

"What's your use? Do you want to gamble again? "Tang Tiezhu loves to gamble, and usually Mrs. Tang didn't think about it. At that time, she held the silver in her hand, and she was in charge of the home, and the whole family was decided by her.

But now it's different, because of Tang Tiezhu's gamble, she took out all her old books to pay off her gambling debts and split the family. Now there are only a few taels of silver that Tang Tiezhu won back when he stepped forward. I don't have any money in my hand, and I panic. If Tang Tiezhu gave her more than 20 taels of silver for safekeeping, as much money as she had more money in her hand, her waist and liver would naturally be hard. Look at the mothers-in-law in the family, who dares to go against her.

But if Tang Tiezhu loses the silver again, how can she stand up with her waist and liver?

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" When Tang Tiezhu heard the word gambling mentioned by Mrs. Tang, he couldn't help but look around in fright. For fear that Mrs. Tang's words would be heard by Gu Manniang, she really thought that he was going to gamble again, and she was cleaned up by Gu Manniang.

Tang Tiezhu was so frightened by Mrs. Tang, and his tone was naturally not as good as just now. "Mother, don't talk nonsense. I really have the money to sell ginseng. I really wouldn't gamble anymore. ”

The days when people didn't sleep for a few days and nights, Tang Tiezhu still remembers it vividly, and he dared to gamble again. was afraid that Mrs. Tang's words would be heard by Gu Manniang, so she found a few more people to gamble with him. Tang Tiezhu really didn't want to experience that kind of day again.

"Since you don't gamble, take the silver to me for safekeeping. If you really want money, just come to me and get it. ”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Tang just wanted Tang Tiezhu to take the silver to her for safekeeping. As for the silver in hand, it will be a little difficult for Tang Tiezhu to go back.

Tang Tiezhu is naturally not stupid. A few days ago, he just gave a few taels of silver to his mother, and he had no silver on him, so he wanted to ask her mother to borrow some silver for him as capital. At that time, her mother was dead or alive, and if this silver was really given to her mother, he would use it in the future, and it would not be easy to come back.

At this time, Tang Tiezhu couldn't help but start rejoicing, glad that he had foresight, and directly handed over the silver to Gu Manniang.

"Mother, it's really not possible." Tang Tiezhu saw that Mrs. Tang's face was black, and quickly explained, "I sold ginseng, and they gave me the silver." I gave the money to Manniang at that time. This silver is in Manniang's hands, if you really want to keep it for me, then you can go and tell Manniang. Tang Tiezhu finally kicked the ball directly to Gu Manniang. If his mother is not afraid of Gu Manniang, then go to Manniang and ask for silver.

"What?" Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Tiezhu in surprise, "You said that the money you sold ginseng was in Gu Manniang's hands." ”

"Why are you so stupid?" Mrs. Tang was so angry that she couldn't speak. After a long while, he said, "Third child, are you crazy?" Why should you hand over the money earned by a big man to Manniang. ”

Hearing Mrs. Tang's words, Tang Tiezhu looked at Mrs. Tang in surprise, "Mother, I'm a man." I have earned money, what is wrong with giving it to my daughter-in-law? Is it true that all the money that my father earned before was collected by him and not handed over to you? ”

"How dare she?" Mrs. Tang glared at Tang Tiezhu viciously.

Tang Tiezhu spread his hands, "Since my father has always handed over the silver to my mother for safekeeping, the silver I earned naturally has to be handed over to my daughter-in-law for safekeeping." ”

Tang Tiezhu's words made Mrs. Tang speechless, could he only allow the silver earned by his father to be handed over to his daughter-in-law for safekeeping. And can't he, who is a son? But there is no such thing.

The silver was in Gu Manniang's hands, and Mrs. Tang said that she didn't dare to ask Gu Manniang for it. If she dares to ask for it, don't talk about Gu Manniang's fist. Now Liu's mother lives in their Tang family, if she knew that she was a mother-in-law who had split up, she would have to go to run the house for her son and daughter-in-law. No matter how thick-skinned she is, she doesn't dare to ask for it blatantly.

If she really dared to go, her good mother would definitely spread the word about it immediately, and she would still have the face to go out to meet people when the time came.

Mrs. Tang didn't care about any face until now, and she didn't think it was too late. In fact, she has no face to speak of for a long time.

Therefore, Mrs. Tang's wishful thinking this time was in vain.

************

To be honest, Tang Tiezhu was really busy today. No, he just got out of Tang Pozi. Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu's two elder brothers came to him together.

When Gu Manniang saw the two brothers coming, she took Tang Xiaobao and them out, and took the sugar gourd she bought when she left. Take advantage of this time to bring the sugar gourd to the stones, lest the weather be hot and the sugar gourd will melt.

"Third brother, have you thought about how to use the money you sell ginseng?" Tang Dazhu didn't talk to Tang Tiezhu about it, and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Tang Tiezhu looked at Tang Dazhu with a puzzled expression. Could it be that the eldest brother wants to borrow money from him? It's not impossible. The sister-in-law had a miscarriage, and all the money for seeing a doctor and taking medicine was paid by Manniang, and Manniang also generously borrowed a few taels of silver to the big house. Now that he has silver, if the eldest brother really borrows the silver, will he promise to lend him a few taels without waiting?

Just because of a question from Tang Dazhu, Tang Tiezhu thought a lot. And Tang Dazhu saw that Tang Tiezhu was in a daze and didn't speak, and his face was a little unpleasant. "You're such a big person, aren't you still sensible?" Dafang has a lot of things to do these days, so Tang Dazhu's temper is a little anxious, and when he sees Tang Tiezhu's slowness and carelessness, he is naturally unhappy.

"What?" Tang Tiezhu was a little confused for a while, and he couldn't understand why his eldest brother started the fire again.

"Big brother, don't worry. Some things have to be done slowly. Tang Erzhu hurriedly played the round, for fear that if the business was not done, the brothers would quarrel without saying a word.

"Third brother, you were lucky enough to go into the mountains and dig ginseng this time, and you also sold some silver when you think about it." Tang Tiezhu provoked Tang Dazhu, and Tang Erzhu had to talk about the business. "After you left with your third brother and sister today, I thought about it with my eldest brother and thought that you should use the money from the sale of ginseng to buy some land."

This land is the foundation of the peasant, and if the peasant does not have land, his heart will always be unsteady.

Sanfang had to sell the land of the division because of Tang Tiezhu's debts. Now that we have the money, the first task is to buy the land back.

"But eldest brother, second brother, I want to use this money to do some small business." From the moment he dug up the ginseng, Tang Tiezhu had been thinking about what kind of business he had, and he really hadn't thought about using the money to buy land.

"Doing business?" Tang Dazhu and the two brothers really didn't expect Tang Tiezhu to have this idea.

"The third child, you don't know a single word, how can you do business." Tang Dazhu was not optimistic about it at first. "We have been farmers for generations, but you have to go into business. You are not afraid that our ancestors will come to you when you sleep at night. ”

Merchants are rich, but they have a low status. Tang Dazhu said that he did not agree with Tang Tiezhu to go to business. can't mess up their entire Tang family because of his rat.

What's more, Tang Dazhu didn't see Tang Tiezhu's talent for business at all. Sanfang finally got lucky enough to dig up some ginseng and sell it for some silver. If he takes it out again and loses it, it will be too late to regret it.

"I don't think that's going to work, too." Tang Erzhu also echoed on the side. "Third brother, you haven't done business before, how do you know that you will make money if you do business? I think it's better to buy land, third brother, think about it. The three siblings now have such a large amount of food, and there is no land at home. Your family depends entirely on buying food to eat, so it's not a big deal. ”

All in all, they peasants, no matter what, still need to have land. Like Tang Tiezhu, who wants to eat a big fat man in one bite, in Tang Dazhu's opinion, it is not a matter at all.

However, although they were a little dissatisfied with Tang Tiezhu's imaginative desire to do business, they were slightly satisfied with Tang Tiezhu's performance. Tang Tiezhu at least thought about how to earn money for his family to support his family, but he didn't raise his family with the silver, and he didn't take the silver to the casino to gamble in the first place.

For these relatives, as long as Tang Tiezhu makes a little progress, they will be happy for him. It is conceivable how scummy Tang Tiezhu was in the past.

"Don't make random decisions, you still have to discuss such a major matter with your third siblings." As an elder brother, Tang Dazhu couldn't force Tang Tiezhu to make a decision immediately, so he had to pin his hopes on Gu Manniang.

"I'll definitely discuss this matter with Manniang." The silver is all in Gu Manniang's hands. If he doesn't tell Gu Manniang well, if Gu Manniang doesn't give him the silver at that time, he will be in vain.

For Tang Tiezhu's answer, the two brothers Tang Dazhu and Tang Erzhu expressed great satisfaction. Now it seems that there is something important, Tang Dazhu seems to have to discuss with Gu Manniang, but their behavior has improved Gu Manniang's status in the Tang family. Of course, Gu Manniang naturally can afford it.
