"How can this work, how can the Gu family be separated?" Gu Jiadong was very anxious. You must know that the father and brothers have struggled for more than ten years, and the Gu family has its current scale. The two have always been one heart, advancing and retreating together, and have never been separated. When his father was dying, he told his three sons that they must carry forward the Gu family well, no matter what, the three brothers must unite as one, and the Gu family cannot be separated. Now, Gu Mingqin's proposal to "split the family" is unacceptable to him. was just about to explain the reason with Gu Mingqin, but before he could speak, the wife beside him couldn't wait—

"If you divide the family, then calculate the property of the Gu family, since it is three brothers, one person is fine......"

"Lady's ......" Gu Jiadong suddenly interrupted his wife and said bitterly, "The Gu family can't be separated......"

"What do you mean that you can't be dispersed, your father-in-law and uncle have already gone, this Gu family, who else do you expect, your precious niece?" Pointing at Gu Mingqin opposite, Hu snorted disdainfully. Raising his arms, he said in a strange manner, "As the saying goes, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. With so many people in the Gu family, it is not easy to get together for so many years. The reason why this family has been together for so long is because there is a medical center. The father-in-law and the eldest uncle are all famous doctors in the city, and there is an endless stream of patients, so they naturally do not worry about food and clothing. But now, the two of them are gone, who will take care of this medical center, are you, do you know medicine? By those three doctors? Don't forget, those three people are outsiders, and in my opinion, sooner or later, they will ......."

Worried about something, Hu Shi did not make it clear. Facing Gu Mingqin, he raised his head and said: "Eldest sister, although the eldest uncle is gone, I, as an aunt, will not rely on the old and sell the old, and we don't want much if we divide the family, you should always take out the 10,000 silver......

"Lady......" Gu Jiadong hurriedly shouted, what's the matter with this woman, the lion opened his mouth. I never thought that before the words came out, I caused a glare. Gu Jiadong was afraid of his wife on weekdays, and after being glared at, he closed his mouth stiffly.

The small movements of the two, Gu Mingqin can see clearly. smiled quietly: "The third aunt is reasonable, the third aunt can understand her niece and support the separation, and the niece has thanked her here." As for this 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the third aunt, so much money, my niece can't get it. As soon as these words came out, looking up, the other party's face really changed, before she had a seizure, Gu Mingqin deliberately added fuel to the fire, "Don't say it's 10,000 taels of silver, even if it's 1,000 taels, 100 taels, 1 tael of silver, I won't give it to you." ”

"What did you say?" Hu slapped the table, and the Hedong lion roared.

Gu Mingqin seemed to be frightened, took a few steps back, rubbed his ears, and then spoke slowly: "Third uncle and third aunt, we don't talk darkly." Over the years, the monthly money you have taken from your home has saved thousands of taels of silver, and this house ......" Gu Mingqin said, looking around, "I also had a thousand taels of silver when I bought it, and you husband and wife didn't pay a penny." In this way, the property of the two of you adds up to 10,000 taels, but there are always 5,000 taels. ”

Hu Shi smiled uncomfortably: "Eldest sister, look at what you said, isn't it past so many years?" ”

"Of course I have to live this day. Third uncle and third aunt, to be honest, these days, I have estimated your daily expenses based on what I have learned. Over the years, your monthly routine is five taels of silver, and the maximum amount of food and clothing on weekdays is three taels of silver, including the money for the third uncle to buy books, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so that the minimum balance is two taels of silver per month. Moreover, at the end of each year, my father still has a red envelope, at least one hundred taels of silver for each family. And this time, when the third aunt asked me for money, she told me that if I didn't get the monthly bill for only two months, the family would drink the northwest wind. I think it's very strange, over the years, has there really been no balance of money between the three uncles and three aunts? After speaking, he leaned in front of Hu Shi and looked at her with a frown.

Facing her fierce eyes, Hu Shi seemed nervous, shivered, and lowered his head as if he knew that he was wrong.

Seeing her weak heart, Gu Mingqin was a little disdainful. looked up at Gu Jiadong opposite, and the other party also lowered his head, looking embarrassed. Gu Mingqin has always known that this third uncle is afraid of his wife, and Hu Shi said a word, and this third uncle didn't even dare to let out a fart. Gu Mingqin can be said to be sad about his misfortune and angry with him. coughed lightly, turned his head, ignored them, and just said, "Third aunt, I didn't come here this time to go through old accounts." Originally, I didn't care where your money was used or to whom; I just want to tell you that from now on, if you are so lazy and lazy, I will not give you a penny for the month. ”

"Delicious and lazy?" Hearing this word, Gu Jiadong was furious, this niece became more and more disagreeable, and dared to say such a big rebellious remark, it was just, it was simply ......

"What, don't give a monthly example?" Hu's voice was sharp, as if breaking through the sky, "There is no money, you let us starve to death?" ”

"Third aunt, you can't say that. As I said earlier, after so many years, you have more or less some surplus; No matter how bad it is, there is still this house. Gu Mingqin said, raised his head again, and looked around, "This house was bought for you by my father, for the sake of the family's affection, I don't want to come back." At the beginning, this house was bought for 1,000 taels of silver, but if it is sold now, it will at least double it. Two thousand taels, that's enough for you to spend for a few years......"

"The house is sold, where do you let us live?"

"Why not sell a big house and change it to a small house; Otherwise, the third uncle and three aunts can still live in the Hu family. Anyway, for the third aunt, the Hu family is better than the Gu family. Am I right, Aunt San? Gu Mingqin said, smiling and raising her eyebrows.

Hu Shi was obviously unwilling, his lips squirmed, his chest rose and fell, as if he was very excited, very angry, as if he had something to say. But in the end, under the pressure of Gu Mingqin's gaze, they all died down.

"How can it be justified, how can it be justified." Gu Jiadong finally had a seizure, and asked Gu Mingqin excitedly. Suddenly stopped, turned around, pointed at Gu Mingqin and asked, "Do you know what my father said when he was dying?" ”

"I know that before my grandfather passed away, I took my father's hand and asked him to promise that he would never break up the Gu family."

"And what are you doing now?"

"Third uncle, my niece wants to ask you, when my grandfather was dying, did he promise that no matter what the family became, even if we didn't do anything, we should also provide for it?" Gu Mingqin questioned him in turn. Seeing his shocked gaze, he bravely greeted him, did not give him time to refute, nodded and continued, "I admit that when my grandfather was alive, he supported the third uncle to study in order to glorify the lintel. But over the years, has the third uncle made any achievements? ”

Faced with this question, Gu Jiadong knew that he was at a loss, and couldn't help blushing, and bowed his head silently. After a long time, he said weakly: "Yueqin, this kind of thing is not ...... overnight."

"I know that Yue Cheng is also working hard, and I know the difficulties inside. But you can't do nothing else for the sake of gaining fame. So-called, is it really okay to ignore what is going on outside the window and only read the books of sages and sages? Third uncle, to put it mildly, we are here to support you now, if not. Think about it, what kind of situation would you be in now? ”

Gu Jiadong seemed to be startled, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Gu Mingqin, Gu Mingqin also looked at him with a calm expression. For some reason, Gu Jiadong was a little weak at this time, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at him.

Gu Mingqin was quite disappointed when he saw him like this. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself as calmly as possible: "Third uncle, I have finished what I should say, and you know the situation at home, where to go, you ......"

"What the hell do you want me to do?"

"Get out there." The simple three words made the couple look at each other. Waiting for them to look back at her, Gu Mingqin continued to explain, "Third uncle, my father went suddenly, and now the situation of the Gu family is a little chaotic, I am a woman, I have just arrived, and I can't hold the situation, so I want to ask the third uncle to help me, do something, and contribute to the Gu family, I don't know what the third uncle wants?" ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Yesterday I went to the medicine field, and the medicine farmers told me that because of the rain this year, some medicinal herbs may fail. In this case, it is urgent to go out to buy and collect medicinal herbs. It turned out that such a thing was either led by the father or by the uncle himself, and it was related to the medicinal materials and the price, and it was not allowed to be sloppy. And now, my father has died, and my uncle is getting older, so my niece thinks about sending a suitable person who can be trusted by my niece. ”

"But I don't know anything about medicinal herbs?" Gu Jiadong's face was embarrassed.

Gu Mingqin comforted: "Third uncle, don't worry, my niece has been arranged, the third uncle is not alone, the people sent by my niece are the most experienced pharmacists in the medical hall, and they are not young, some people have followed the Gu family since their grandfather's generation, the old man, should be trustworthy." The third uncle only needs to follow them, and when necessary, ask and understand. If the third uncle can accumulate some experience through this time to buy medicine, after coming back, my niece will arrange for you to go to another place in the medical hall......"

"The third uncle doesn't have to worry about the monthly money, if the third uncle does a good job, the niece will definitely not treat you badly. Not only do they have exactly the same monthly money every month, but there are also additional monthly bills. Of course, like the original, five taels of silver per month, the niece can't take it out for the time being; However, one or two a month, the niece can still take it out. If one day, the clinic returns to normal and earns money, whether it is a monthly case or a monthly income, it will increase. ”
