Under the careful care of Mama and Chunmei, although her body has improved slightly, she still sleeps a lot, and Gu Xinyu hopes to wake up and find that this is a dream!

Until one day Gu Xinyu, who was dizzy from sleep, gave up his lunch break, Chunmei and Mama Wang were not in the house, and Gu Xinyu did not call them, she put on cotton clothes and walked into the courtyard alone, the courtyard door was not closed, and there was a slight sound of talking outside.

"Boss, this is half a tael of silver, the big girl has a bad appetite these days, you go and buy her some polished rice and white flour, I want to make up for her body when I catch an old hen, and buy bran and miscellaneous grains for the rest." This voice is Mama Wang.

Uncle Wang spoke in a deep voice; "Well, I know, Xiao Tao and I have been working in the town for a few days, it's enough to catch medicine for the eldest girl, and the rest of the money will buy supplements for her, you don't have to worry, Xiao Tao and I will work hard and earn more money."

Mama Wang choked up and said: "God is pitiful, if Mrs. knew that the eldest girl had suffered such a big crime, I don't know how distressed she would be!" It's all because I'm incompetent, I didn't protect the big girl thoroughly, I'm sorry for the lord and the lady. ”

"Don't blame yourself, it's already a fluke that you can leave this life, if it weren't for Zhenguo's public kindness, it would be impossible for us to see the big girl now, although it is a little bitter now, but it is much better than before."

The voice paused, and continued: "Since the master asked us to take care of the eldest girl, I will do it even if I try my best, but you, your stomach is not good, and it will be uncomfortable to always eat multigrain bran, today I went to Zhang Yuanwai's house, and begged the housekeeper to send more work, so that I can earn a few more dollars every day" As the voice became smaller and smaller, it should be that the person had gone away.

Gu Xinyu leaned against the tree in the courtyard, with mixed feelings in his heart, if you come, you will be safe!

Gu Xinyu, who finally accepted the reality, called Mama Wang and Chunmei, and took out the few pieces of jewelry that remained

Mama Wang hesitated and said, "Big girl, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mama, you came to Rongcheng with your family, not only did you not enjoy happiness, but suffered, these days because of taking care of me, Uncle Wang and Xiaotao have to go out to do short-term work in exchange for food"

Speaking of this, Gu Xinyu was really moved, the original owner was penniless, and the items he came here to buy were all the silver that Mama Wang had saved in the past few years, and now because of buying rice and medicine, and making new bedding, it has been almost spent, and it can be done like this, which shows how high the character and loyalty of the Wang family should be!

Mama Wang looked at Gu Xinyu, her pink little face in the past was only the size of a palm by the Zhou family, but fortunately, she has been raised a little bit these days, otherwise she would have the face to see Madame!

"Mama, what's the current situation with this Zhuangzi? I know that my mother pawned her jade pendant to place this Zhuangzi for me, but I didn't keep it, but my mother-in-law took the title deed away, I don't know if we paid it back when we left? ”

"I didn't pay it back, not only did I not pay it back, but I also withheld the hosta that Mrs. gave you at the beginning, this vicious Mrs. Hou will be retributed sooner or later." Mama Wang said hatefully.

Gu Xinyu pondered, the title deed and hosta were originally in the hands of Mrs. Hou, this woman was really ruthless and left no room for anything, obviously wanting to starve herself to death on Zhuangzi!

"Mama, since it's in Madame's hands, let's do it for the time being, I'll let her hand it over obediently in the future!" Gu Xinyu assured.

Gu Xinyu looked at Mama, and her heart was also full of admiration for Mama Wang's family, because this kind of quality is difficult to see in modern times.

Mama Wang burst into tears, "Big girl, as long as you are good, nothing else matters"

Gu Xinyu hurriedly appeased Mama Wang: "Mama, our future days will get better and better, I promise, I will return to the Guogong Mansion in style, and my grievances Guogong Mansion will also give me an explanation!" ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xinyu's eyes exuded a dazzling brilliance, which made the two of them involuntarily believe that Gu Xinyu could do it!

Yes, Gu Xinyu at this time didn't plan to make any peace with Zhou Muhan for the time being, his mother's family was weak, he was penniless, he was helpless, and the Zhenguo Mansion was a towering tree, even if no one cared about the Guogong Mansion, everyone in the vicinity knew that the farm was the property of the Guogong Mansion, and that was enough!

In addition, the two parents of the Zhou family are upright, even if they don't interfere in the woman's affairs, they can stand up in front of the big right and wrong!

The original owners of these tragedies also have to bear some responsibility, and excessive gentleness and obedience have fueled the arrogance of others, so before he is not strong, Gu Xinyu, the big tree of the Guogong Mansion, will not give up!

Gu Xinyu asked Chunmei to take out the few remaining golden hairpins, and she looked at one of them, which was a plum blossom hairpin with exquisite workmanship, a few hollow plum blossoms trembling on the branches, and there were tassels made of gold beads under the hairpins, which shook and shone brightly

Gu Xinyu remembered that this was given by Zhou Muhan when he first got married.

For this man, the memory of the original owner is very vague, maybe it is because there is less gathering and more separation, maybe it is the indifference of this man, which makes Gu Xinyu have no good feelings.

Gu Xinyu put a few hairpins together with an indifferent expression, "Mama, you let Uncle Wang take these jewelry, and let Uncle Wang decide whether to live or die depending on the situation." ”

Gu Xinyu didn't approve of Mama Wang's anxious look, especially Mama Wang picked up the plum hairpin, "Big girl, this is a gift from your uncle, you should go, you will be unhappy when he comes back." ”

Gu Xinyu smiled coldly: "He's not happy? What right does he have to be unhappy? Mama has spent all my belongings for me, and now it's still spring, and we will soon run out of rice and food, and if we don't do it properly, how will we live in the remaining months? Can't you starve to death? ”

Gu Xinyu paused, and looked at Mama Wang, who wanted to speak and stopped: "Okay, let's do this job, and I will redeem it when I have the money in the future." ”

Mama Wang sighed helplessly, Gu Xinyu raised her left hand, and there was a black jade ring on the ring finger of her left hand, and the black and translucent ring was set on the green and jade-like finger, which was carved with delicate orchid patterns, and the dew on the orchid was faintly visible.

This was given to her by the original owner's mother before she got married, and it was passed down from generation to generation by the daughter of the Yuan family, and it is said that it was left by the daughter of the Yuan family who was dedicated to cultivating immortals.

When the daughter of the Yuan family returned home for the last time, she left this ring to the eldest daughter of the eldest brother's family, and then disappeared, and this ring has been passed down for hundreds of years now.

Gu Xinyu put down his hand, such a good jade, it's a pity, Mama Wang on the side touched her heart, Amitabha!

Uncle Wang went to the nearest Linshui County, and the five golden hairpins were one hundred and twenty taels of silver, which was much higher than Gu Xinyu's estimate, which shows that Uncle Wang is a talent, and having such a person to help him is very beneficial to the implementation of the plan in the future.

Wang Bo and Wang Tao bought 100 catties of rice, 100 catties of white flour, some millet, soybeans and some cabbage and radishes, 10 catties of meat, three old hens, 50 eggs, and some oil and salt in the nearest town.

The two hired a carriage to pull these things back, and it cost a full ten taels.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Uncle Wang handed over the rest of the silver to Gu Xinyu, and Gu Xinyu secretly calculated that according to the price here, a family of five, under normal circumstances, this one hundred and ten taels can live for ten years.

But now that his body is seriously depleted and needs to be nourished, it is impossible for Uncle Wang and them to eat multigrain bran.

At the beginning of spring, you have to hire people to farm the land, and you also need to buy some agricultural tools, which can last for about half a year when the cost is lowered, but half a year is enough to be a buffer.
