Chapter 77: Selfishness
The Lin family had taken her mother's dowry as their own in their previous life, but Qingshu knew that the house shop was actually a small head, and these properties added up to a few thousand taels. The real value of her mother's dowry is jewelry and antique porcelain. But she had never seen these things in her previous life, and she had a guess as to where they went.
Gu Xian saw Qingshu in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking?" Thinking like this? ”
Qingshu said: "Mother, if we go to the capital, the fields and shops will be sold." ”
If you don't sell it, it's cheaper for these people in the Lin family, so it's better to exchange money and spend it yourself.
Gu Xian hesitated a little: "But your grandmother doesn't agree." Besides, your grandmother is right to leave something for her children and grandchildren. ”
It's just an excuse to take the property for yourself. Qingshu said: "Mother, if we don't sell the property now, how can we have the money to go to the capital?" As for the future, as long as my father comes back to buy some properties when the time comes. ”
Gu Xian felt very reasonable: "It's just that your grandmother disagreed, and said to give us two hundred taels of silver." ”
In order to swallow his mother's dowry, the old lady who searched for it was willing to give up two hundred taels of silver.
"Mother, how can two hundred taels of silver be enough?" Seeing the complicated expression on Gu Xian's face, Qingshu understood: "Mother, grandmother won't let you borrow money from grandma, right?" ”
Gu Xian said with a straight face: "You really didn't hide under the window just now and eavesdrop?" ”
If Qingshu really eavesdropped, she would definitely have to teach her a good lesson, this habit is absolutely unacceptable.
Even her grandmother's thoughts were eavesdropping. Qingshu said: "Mother, grandma is just your daughter, do you still need to borrow money from her?" Grandmother's abacus played really well. ”
Seeing Gu Xian's face change slightly, Qingshu hurriedly said, "Mother, you write to your father and let him have an idea." If my father had said that he would have sold these properties, I don't think my grandmother would have objected to it anymore. ”
Qingshu didn't want to contradict Gu Xian, and pregnant people had to keep a good mood, so he kicked the ball to Lin Chengyu. Her mother simply doesn't think badly of people, but her father is different.
Qingshu learned from Chen's mother that when her mother went to Fucheng, she proposed to Lin Chengyu to give Mrs. Lin twenty taels of silver every year. However, Lin Chengyu politely refused, on the grounds that he wanted to make money for his parents to support his parents, instead of taking Gu Xian's dowry money.
At that time, Gu Xian was both moved and proud when she heard it, and thought that Lin Chengyu was very responsible. Qingshu felt that he didn't want to cheapen the second and third rooms. The evidence is that after he was admitted to the Jinshi and became an officer, the second and third rooms did not get any practical benefits. Therefore, he will definitely let his mother sell her property and bring money into Beijing.
Gu Xian nodded and said, "You're right, let your father make up your mind about this matter." ”
Lin Chengyu is unkind, and even his own daughter can be pushed into the fire pit for the sake of profit, how can he be really good to her mother. It's just that her mother is simple and easy to coax, which is really worrying.
After thinking too much, Qingshu's head began to hurt again.
Gu Xian was angry and annoyed, and said, "Are you thinking about something messy again?" ”
Qingshu will not say.
Gu Xian was angry and annoyed, and said, "These things will be solved, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Don't worry about it, I'm afraid that I will end up in my previous life again. Qingshu didn't want to make Gu Xian angry, so she had to say sullenly: "I don't want to either, but I can't control it." ”
Holding Qingshu, Gu Xian said with a distressed face: "I'd rather you don't know anything like before, as long as you are happy every day." ”
Qing Shu was on Gu Xian's body and did not speak.
Knowing Gu Xian's plan, Old Lady Lin couldn't sit still, and immediately called her over: "Chengyu daughter-in-law, if the money is not enough, we will find a way, these properties can never be sold." ”
The paddy fields and mulberry fields that Gu Xian married were all by the river, which was particularly fertile. Now these fields are in the hands of several large families in the county.
Gu Xian said: "Dad, I wrote to ask the prime minister about this. ”
Old Lady Lin nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Fortunately, the Gu family listens to Chengyu for everything, otherwise it would really be worrying.
After Gu Xian left, Mrs. Lin complained: "I don't know if she has a brain?" ”
The old lady is just such a daughter as hers, and the body is not all hers, and she can ask the old lady if she has no money in the capital! As a result, this stupid woman would rather sell the property that could make money than ask the old lady for it.
Old lady Lin didn't continue, and said something unrelated: "Gu Heping took his wife and children, and he moved out of the Gu family last month. ”
Mrs. Lin really didn't know about it, and no one told her: "So it's either kissing or unreliable." ”
Old Mrs. Lin felt that the old lady always couldn't grasp the point, and said impatiently at the moment: "I'm out." ”
The old lady didn't care, and after she left, she said to Mrs. Qi: "This woman has no son, what's the use of being powerful?" Look at the old woman of the Gu family, without a son, the huge family business can only be cheaper than others. ”
Even if Gu Heping moves out, as long as the old lady dies, these properties will be his.
Mrs. Qi reminded: "Old lady, Mrs. Gu has no son, but she still has a daughter. ”
"The ...... spilled by the married daughter" Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up: "You are right, Chengyu's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the old woman!" ”
The adopted son is unreliable, and the old woman of the Gu family must rely on her own daughter. In this way, there is a chance that the money will be left to Gu Xian in the future.
The Gu family used to be the richest man, although it is not good now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The old woman must have saved a lot of money in her hands, otherwise she wouldn't be so willing to be so willing to Qingshu.
The more she thought about it, the more hot Mrs. Lin became: "This Gu Heping is the only one who moves out of the mother-in-law, it seems that I have to talk to Chengyu's daughter-in-law and let her go home to accompany her mother-in-law more." ”
As for Qingshu, he was directly ignored by the old lady.
Gu Xian walked into the house and saw Qingshu teaching butterflies to recite poems: "Goose goose goose, song to the sky......"
"Goose goose goose, cricket brother ......"
Qingshu patiently corrected the mistake, and then taught Rudie again.
It took more than ten times to memorize the poem accurately.
Gu Xian smiled and said to Chen's mother: "Qingshu is so patient, let her teach when Xiaoshui grows up." ”
With Qingshu's diligent and hard-working energy, it is more than enough to be an enlightenment gentleman for the second child in a few years.
After reciting a poem, Rudie said: "Second sister, can you always take me to play in the future?" ”
For Rudie, endorsement is actually playing.
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, the second sister can't stay here if she wants to study." I'll play with you when I come back next time. ”
Rudie said aggrievedly: "Second sister, I like you, I don't like the eldest sister." Eldest sister, she pinched my hand, it hurt. ”
In fact, it was the arm that was pinched, but it was as old as a butterfly and the hand was still small and the arm could not be distinguished.
