Chapter 237: Rumors?
Eighteen wen a day, I fell into eight wen, and this year, I saved a lot of private money.
In fact, it is far more than these eight texts, Gu Quankang does handicraft work, carpenter, the salary is 20 wen a day, sometimes he makes furniture in some large households, and he also gets some rewards from time to time, these Gu Quankang hide from Mrs. Gu and Master Gu.
Half of the wages he did were actually left and half handed over to the public middle school, so her eldest uncle looked honest and honest, but in fact he was very thoughtful, and everyone was deceived by his honest appearance.
If Gu Mingzhu hadn't hired workers by himself, Uncle Zhao told Gu Mingzhu the wages of the workers, and Gu Mingzhu was afraid that he wouldn't know what was going on.
Look!
The people in this old mansion all have ghosts in their hearts, only the second room is like a fool who uses cattle and horses for the old mansion, raising this large group of people, and is scolded for eating rice.
Mrs. Gu's eyes instantly slashed at Gu Quankang like a knife, "Boss, you tell me the truth, what Gu Mingzhu said is true." ”
She calculates and calculates all day long, but she didn't expect to be calculated by her eldest son, who looks at the honest Mune, how can she bear it?
Chen Zhilan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly spoke up, "Madam, don't listen to Gu Mingzhu's nonsense, she just can't see us well, full of nonsense, our big house family is very loyal and filial to his wife."
My family's Quankang is not all about making your wife live a good life, unlike the second room, the family is born backbone, and the family is a white-eyed wolf, so you know that if you are against your wife, you will not be filial to your wife, and you will make trouble all day long, and do your best. Especially Gu Mingzhu, a little slut, who makes waves all day long, if it weren't for her? The second family can be separated from his wife and split up, otherwise the wheat would have been planted a long time ago. “
As soon as Chen Zhilan said this, Mrs. Gu thought that a series of things that had happened recently had something to do with her, and she made a fuss in the old mansion and instigated the second family to break up, and she didn't even listen to herself, and was completely out of her control. caused his baby daughter to go to the cell.
This granddaughter, who was born with a backbone, should have been pressed into the footbasin and drowned, but now her wings are stiff, and she is not afraid of herself at all, and she is against herself everywhere. Just thinking about it makes me feel angry.
Mrs. Gu turned her gloomy gaze to Gu Mingzhu again, "Little cheap hoof,." Are you spreading rumors here again? You can't see your family like this?"
Gu Mingzhu was going to be laughed at by Mrs. Gu, Chen Zhilan's such a shoddy lie Mrs. Gu believed that she couldn't see her Gu family, what was good about her Gu family? As for that family, you calculate and I calculate, speaking of which is a big family, and they eat coarse grains and pickles.
Is it a good character? Or are the living conditions better?
"If my grandmother doesn't believe me, I'll go to the town to inquire to see if I have lied to my grandmother, and besides, isn't the third uncle studying in the town? Ask the third uncle to ask. Gu Mingzhu felt that if they wanted to tear off Gu Quankang's hypocritical coat, they really had to tear it themselves, no matter how much they said, Mrs. Gu would not believe it.
Mrs. Gu seemed to listen to Gu Mingzhu's words, and said to Gu Minghui, who was sitting on the side, who was distracted, "Minghui, you go to the town to ask about this matter, if the boss really deceives me, see if I don't skin him." ”
Gu Minghui was still thinking about Li Cuihua, this Li Yanhua went to prison and was sentenced to death, no one gave him silver flowers, and he was strapped for money, he couldn't go out to party and drink like before, and he was thinking about how to get money?
Now when I hear that Gu Quankang dares to be greedy for money, and he has stayed to save private money, he is not happy in his heart, if the money is handed over to Mrs. Gu, won't it be all his own?
The silver that should have belonged to him was taken away by someone, is it strange that he can feel comfortable?
couldn't help it at the moment, and said, "Big brother, how can you do such a thing?" What do you want so much money for? This money is what my mother wants to leave to me to hand over the repair, I will remember the good of the eldest brother, and if I win the lifting in the future, I will definitely take the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will embarrass me by doing this? ”
Gu Quankang glanced at Gu Minghui with complicated eyes, and finally didn't say anything, and sat there with his head in his hands silent.
Chen Zhilan said with a smile, "Third brother! It's not that your eldest brother wants to save those little money, but when my Chunhua reaches the age of marriage, I want to save some dowry for Chunhua. You also know that the Zhao family is a big family, and if they don't have a decent dowry, they will be looked down upon. We don't have any other income, your eldest brother's money for work, there is not so much, and it is fifteen dollars a day, and the big head is handed over to the public middle school, and this small head stays, and it costs money to buy rouge gouache in Chunhua at home, and I am reluctant to use it, and the eighteenth of next month is the day of Chunhua's marriage, and I haven't made up the dowry money? Third brother, can you bear to let Chunhua enter the door of the Zhao family empty-handed. ”
"This ,......。" Rao is a scheming scholar like Gu Minghui, and he was also blocked by Chen Zhilan so much that he couldn't speak.
Chen Zhilan generously admitted that she had taken the private money, she knew that the general amount of the salary was there, Gu Minghui only had to go to the town to ask, and she could inquire about it, and she couldn't hide it.
The careful counting of this salary is not traceable, the person who works well, is serious and responsible, and can negotiate with the owner in private to raise the price a little, and the owner is also willing.
It's really as Gu Mingzhu said, Gu Quankang's salary is eighteen wen a day, and the reward is one or two taels of silver every month, which Chen Zhilan will not say.
She said that she wanted to save dowry money for Gu Chunhua, this private money is equivalent to crossing the Ming Road, she took it rightly and fairly, Gu Chunhua is indeed going to get married, and it is not an exaggeration for parents to buy a dowry for their daughter!
Gu Mingzhu sneered, it was just the people in the Gu family's old mansion who were played by her.
Dowry money, even if Chen Zhilan breaks the sky, will only give Gu Chunhua twenty taels of silver for the dowry, save ten taels a day, and have three taels a month, even if he works for ten months a year, there are thirty taels.
After so many years, Chen Zhilan has more than 200 taels of silver in his hands.
According to Chen Zhilan's statement, she saves one or two halves of silver every month, and then buys some rouge gouache, she really has no money, she is so careful in her calculations, and she has to save a dowry for Gu Chunhua, so it is really difficult for her.
Therefore, Gu Minghui will be blocked by Chen Zhilan speechless.
Gu Mingzhu will not say anything, she wants to use this matter to blackmail Chen Zhilan. So that she can't turn over the big waves in front of herself.
When Mrs. Gu heard Chen Zhilan say this, she didn't want to pursue it anymore, if Chen Zhilan hadn't saved Gu Chunhua's dowry money, this money would not have to be paid by Mrs. Gu.
