Gu Mingqin bowed slightly: "My niece doesn't dare." Third aunt, don't worry, drink some tea, dissipate your anger, and have something to say. Gu Mingqin walked up to her, personally poured her a cup of tea, put it in front of her, and then said, "Second sister-in-law, niece doesn't mean anything else, it's just strange, after so many years, hasn't the second sister-in-law saved a few taels of silver from the monthly bill every month?" It stands to reason that even if you save a few hundred dollars a month, there are dozens of taels in the past few years. Why is it overstretched if you can't get a monthly case in two months? ”

"This, this ......" Facing this question, Hu Shi looked embarrassed, looked up at the woman in front of him, and smiled reluctantly, "Eldest sister, you also know the situation of our family." The child's father is your third uncle, and he is a nerd. I don't do anything on weekdays.,Just nest in the room and read.,My favorite place to go is those bookstores.,Every time I go.,Don't move three or five books.,I'm not reconciled.。 Speaking of which, it's not that it costs money. So ......"

"You mean to say that my third uncle went to buy books with the monthly list?"

"Yes, yes." Hu Shi nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Eldest sister, don't look at that book is worthless, it accumulates over time, and that is a large amount." Therefore, the five taels of silver per month are not enough for us at all......"

"So, my niece should take a few taels of silver every month to honor her uncle and aunt?" Gu Mingqin asked deliberately.

The Hu family was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If the eldest sister really has this heart, the aunt is naturally grateful." You don't know, your third uncle spends money like water in order to buy books, and he doesn't know moderation. There has been no monthly routine in these two months, our days are ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", which made Hu Shi startled, and looked up, Gu Mingqin had a water cup in front of him, and there were water stains all around. Looking up, the little girl's face was gloomy and cold, which startled her alive, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

Ignoring her surprised expression, Gu Mingqin turned her head to look at the speechless Xu next to her, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Second aunt thinks so too?" ”

In the face of her aggressive momentum, Xu was obviously at a loss and shivered. looked up at the niece in front of him, and said tremblingly: "You also know your second uncle's temperament, I can't control him, this time he asked me to come, I don't want to, but he said, if I can't get the money, he will, he will ......" said, the woman cried loudly.

After crying for a while, she wiped her tears, sniffed, and continued: "Eldest sister, I also know that it is not easy for you, the eldest brother has just passed away, and you are alone...... But you aunt and I really can't help it......"

Hearing her cry, Gu Mingqin felt a headache, closed her eyes, and said patiently: "Second aunt, my niece knows that as a junior, there are some things that my niece should not criticize, but when it comes to this, my niece has to say a few words." The niece knows that the second uncle is active, playful and noisy, and generous; But now the situation is special, my father has just passed away, whether I want to or not, the second uncle should be a little more restrained; Second aunt, you also persuade him, the matter of money, ...... later"

Before he finished speaking, Xu cried even more fiercely, and for a while, Gu Mingqin couldn't go on. Twisting his head to the side, clenching his fists, controlling the anger that erupted from him, secretly reminding himself that you are a junior and cannot be angry with an elder. But now......

It seemed that he wanted to use the topic to play, Hu Shi came to his senses, quickly took advantage of this opportunity, and echoed: "Yes, what the second sister-in-law said is right, although the eldest brother has passed away, but this life still has to go on, isn't it?" I can't say that the eldest brother is gone, and our family is going to be hungry, don't you say? Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at his companion, hoping to be echoed, but he didn't want the Xu family to just cry, just cry, just not say a word.

Seeing this, Hu Shi was a little angry, glanced at him, looked back at Gu Mingqin, and smiled again: "Eldest sister, look at us, I know that you are in a bad mood, I haven't bothered you for more than a month, and now I really can't help it......"

"Third aunt, you can't help it, and I can't help it." Gu Mingqin sighed and said.

"What did you say?" Hu's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

With another sigh, Gu Mingqin looked up at the two of them: "Since the second aunt and the third aunt are here, today and now, my niece will tell the truth in front of the two." These days, my niece took advantage of her free time to check the family's account books and found that the family had not much money left. ”

"What?" The two women looked at each other, then turned back at the same time to look at the girl opposite. I saw her bow slightly, and continued—

"Since Daddy passed away, the family affairs are complicated, and there are many places to spend money; In addition, during this time, the medical center was basically not open, so it can be said that the family's money only went in and out. Not to mention the second and third uncle's family, even if it is our own family, we can't get any money left, so ......"

"You mean, you don't plan to give these two months?" Hu leaned back in his chair and looked at the girl with a sneer.

Gu Mingqin also smiled: "Third aunt, you are wrong, it's not that you don't give it, from now on, the monthly case will be reduced, tentatively, one or two taels of silver a month......"

"What, one or two a month?" Hu Shi was shocked, "Huo", stood up from the chair, pointed at Gu Mingqin, and scolded, "Such a little money, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, you let us drink the northwest wind?" ”

"Third aunt, you are wrong about this. As far as I know, ordinary people, for one tael of silver a month, can not only eat meat for a meal, even if they don't do anything, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, more than enough. Save a little, and maybe you can save a few hundred dollars......"

"How can the Gu family be compared to ordinary people?" Hu snorted coldly, obviously disdainful.

"It's not an ordinary family, what are you, a royal noble?" Gu Mingqin asked rhetorically. looked at the Hu family, sneered, and continued, "Daddy once told me that when my grandfather first founded the Gu Medical Center, he was not well-known and couldn't make ends meet. Grandpa could only eat bran vegetables every day, and sometimes, it was only one meal a day. After opening a medical center, I couldn't afford to buy medicinal materials, so I had to go up the mountain to collect medicine alone. This kind of life is probably not as good as even ordinary people, grandpa and they haven't survived. If they can, why can't we ......"

"It was then, and now it is now." Hu Shi was unceremoniously, "Let me tell you, Gu Mingqin, if you don't give me the monthly example that should be given today, I will, I will ...... And you're not done. With that, he twisted his head to the side and ignored her.

Gu Mingqin nodded, as if she was resigned to her fate: "The third aunt wants money, if it is just for the third uncle to buy books, the niece has nothing to say, the niece knows that the third uncle is honest, and he has no hobbies on weekdays, so he likes it." If the third aunt took the money, just to buy books for the third uncle, the niece was willing to pay for this money out of her own pocket; But if the third aunt is ready to take my Gu family's money to subsidize your Hu family's life, I'm sorry, my niece can't take out this money. ”

"You're presumptuous." Hu Shi slapped the table, got up from the chair, pointed at Gu Mingqin, and trembled, "You, you, what are you talking about?" ”

Gu Mingqin sneered: "What I say, you naturally know what the third aunt is." As he spoke, his sharp eyes forced him to look at the woman, and only when she shivered and trembled, did he withdraw his gaze, turned his back to her, and continued leisurely, "Third aunt, as the saying goes, if you don't know, you can't do anything unless you don't know. Over the years, how have you spent your monthly routine every month, and you think others don't know? Forget it on weekdays, now that my father went suddenly, the Gu family had difficulties, at this time, can you restrain a little and don't turn your elbows out. Don't forget, ten years ago, you married into the Gu family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and the people of the Gu family have nothing to do with the Hu family. I advise you, don't put the cart before the horse. ”

"You, you...... You stinky girl, you dare to teach me a lesson, see if I don't ......" Hu Shi was annoyed and angry, raised his hand suddenly, and was about to hit someone, but was caught by Gu Mingqin in mid-air—

"Third aunt, if you can't say anything well, do you have to do it? Do you know that the way you look is very disgraceful. Gu Mingqin finished speaking, and with a force, he let go of his hand.

Due to inertia, Hu Shi retreated again and again, until she sat on the chair, and the pain made her face change in an instant. Gritted his teeth, as if he was enduring the pain, pointed at Gu Mingqin, and scolded again: "Sister Gu, you are so bold, you dare to teach me and question me?" Even your father has never pointed a finger in front of me, why do you say. Who gave you so much power? ”

"It's me."

At this moment, a sonorous and powerful male voice suddenly rose, causing the three people in the hall to turn their heads together. I saw a short, hunched old man slowly walking into the house. Although he is not in good shape, he walks with a steady pace and a loud voice. Especially those eyes, which are bright and bright, seem to see through all the charms and spirits in the world.
