Chapter 39: The Liu Clan is back
Gu Jinxiu, the shopkeeper and the three of them carried the white radish and taro onto the ox cart.
Then, with the sympathy of the shopkeeper and her companions, she urged the ox cart to the west of the city to find the He family.
In fact, she really wanted to tell the two that she didn't need sympathy, and that she could earn back twenty taels of these things.
But think about it!
Passing by a ready-to-wear shop, seeing Gao Ling'er and Gao Shi selecting corner fabrics at the door, Gu Jinxiu stopped the ox cart.
Gao Ling'er saw Gu Jinxiu with sharp eyes, and shouted happily: "Brother Jinhao." ”
Gu Jinxiu nodded at her, jumped out of the ox cart, walked into the shop, and saw that He was choosing clothes.
"Mother, have you chosen your clothes?"
He put down the ready-to-wear clothes in his hand, turned his head to look at Gu Jinxiu and said, "Not yet, I think these two sets are quite suitable for your grandmother, and I can't make up my mind for a while." He picked up the two sets of clothes and asked Gu Jinxiu to give some advice.
Gu Jinxiu recalled the Da Li family she saw that day, she was short in stature and had slightly yellow skin, the Li family and the big Li family's aunt and nephew were about the same size, these two sets of clothes were bright in color, and the Li family could wear them.
Gu Jinxiu didn't want to be cheap to the Li family, and said, "Mother, I don't think these two sets are suitable." ”
Looking around, Gu Jinxiu pointed to the dark purple clothes hanging on the high place in front of the right and said, "The shopkeeper took down that set and showed it to me." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Gu Jinxiu in surprise, he really didn't expect a man to come to buy clothes, and he picked the best workmanship, and while taking off the clothes, he said: "This set of clothes was originally made by my family's owner to let the embroidery lady of the family make it for his mother, but the old lady didn't like this color, so the owner asked me to sell this dress." ”
He Shi frowned after hearing this, this dress should be very expensive, and his desire to buy this dress has faded.
And Gu Jinxiu didn't care about the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, nodded at her, took the clothes, and checked them carefully, "The shopkeeper wraps this dress." ”
He Shi just wanted to refuse but didn't say anything, Gu Jinxiu said again: "Mother, do you want to buy anything?" ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was already packing clothes, He shook his head and said that he had nothing to buy anymore.
At this time, Gao Shi walked in with Gao Ling'er with a corner fabric.
Gu Jinxiu asked the shopkeeper to wrap up all the things they had selected.
After settling the bill, the four of them left the shop.
Gu Jinxiu drove the ox cart and asked, "Mother, do you want to buy anything?" ”
"No need, let's go back!" He then asked, "How did you buy a set of clothes for ten taels of silver?" ”
Thinking about buying such an expensive set of clothes for Da Li's family, she was not happy.
She hadn't forgotten how the Great Lee family treated their family!
Now for Da Li's family, she just wants to get by on face, and she has no filial piety at all!
Gu Jinxiu reminded: "Mother, our family has been doing business recently. "Buy an expensive piece of clothing to gag Lee's mouth!
Hearing this, He was silent.
Afterwards, Gu Jinxiu didn't say anything, and quietly drove the ox cart back home.
……
At home, Liu sat under the corridor, looked at the ox cart in the yard, and asked with hot eyes: "Yo, our family has made money recently, and we actually bought so many things?" ”
When Liu returned from his mother's house, he saw more than a dozen dustpans with grapefruit leaves and more than a dozen dustpans with mugwort leaves under the corridor.
Gu Jinxiu, their mother and daughter, actually took advantage of her absence to do business.
If she wants to leave no way, she also wants a piece of the pie!
Gu Jinxiu was too lazy to take care of Liu's family, and beckoned Gao's mother and daughter to carry things.
Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Liu stared at the things they were moving with interest, and after a long time, he found that there were two more people in the family coming out, pointing to Gao's mother and daughter and asking, "Who are they?" ”
Gao's mother and daughter looked at Ho, how did they respond?
Gu Jinxiu didn't wait for He to speak: "Aunt Gao's mother and daughter are relatives of my foreign family, and they came to my mother when they had a bad time at home." ”
Liu looked at Gao's mother and daughter with disgust, and shouted: "Our family's life is not easy, and now we have two more mouths, how can we live?" ”
When Liu said this, Gao's mother and daughter stood there at a loss.
Seeing this, Gu Jinxiu asked the Gao mother and daughter to continue to move things, and she said to the Liu family: "Why don't they worry about you, you just take care of yourself!" ”
When Liu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, anyway, they didn't want her to keep them! After seeing Gu Jinxiu and the others moving all their things into the house, she got up and walked into the house, and when she saw the white radish and taro, she asked in disgust: "Mother, what are you buying these things for?" ”
Gu Jinxiu said: "It's none of your business, don't ask, if you are idle, you will sweep your melon seed skin." ”
Liu didn't leave after hearing this, if she hadn't gone back to her parents' house, she would have swept the floor obediently, and now she wouldn't be stupid to sweep the floor.
She sat on the stool next to her and watched, and when she saw that Gao's mother and daughter had new clothes, and Gu Jinxiu also had them, she and He asked unhappily, "Why don't I have new clothes?" ”
He just wanted to explain, but Gu Jinxiu took the lead.
"You took the candy from my business back to your parents' house, so of course you don't have your share of the new clothes, remember that the next time you bring something back to your parents' house, you will be short of something."
When he was in the ready-to-wear shop, He had already selected a set of spring shirts for Liu.
However, Gu Jinxiu took it out on the grounds that Liu would buy it for her after giving birth.
He thought that if Liu bought it after giving birth, the clothes would fit for two or three years, so he agreed to Gu Jinxiu's approach.
Liu Shi said unconvinced: "That's the family that gave birth to me and raised me, what's wrong with bringing some sugar back, can't you be filial?" ”
"If you earn the money, I won't say what you buy back,"
Thanks to Gu Jinhao's foresight, when she proposed marriage, when Liu's mother's family asked for a rich bride price, they asked them to sign a deed of sale belonging to Liu's family, otherwise she would really not be able to handle Liu's best sister-in-law!
Gu Jinxiu said coldly: "But is this the money you earned?" Liu, please remember, you were sold to my Gu family by your mother's family, if you are restless, I don't mind selling you, don't try to threaten me, if something happens to me, you will definitely not be able to escape. ”
She is in business now, but she doesn't want Liu's mother's family to be attracted like leeches!
Liu was intimidated by Gu Jinxiu, and did not speak again, his eyes were full of resentment when Gu Jinxiu was not paying attention.
Gu Jinxiu noticed the gaze, but she didn't care about it.
The room where the miscellaneous items were stored has become the room of Gao's mother and daughter, and she and Gao are carrying bags of radishes and taro to her room.
After moving the bag and looking at the narrowed room, Gu Jinxiu thought that after the spring ploughing, she would build a three-entry house and arrange the Gao mother and daughter in the front yard.
In this way, she and Liu can sleep in separate rooms.
Otherwise, after Liu's birth, she would have no excuse to divide the room again.
If you want her to be in the same room with Liu, it is better not to sleep!
After thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu asked Gao Ling'er to find the Lin family's mother and daughter to come to the house to make the mugwort baba needed tomorrow.
In addition to the delicious floor custom-made, she is going to take some to the land temple to sell.
Tomorrow is a festival, everyone goes to worship the land, there are many people, and her mugwort leaves will definitely sell well!
Gu Jinxiu saw that everyone was busy in the kitchen, so she avoided Liu, who was inquiring about the news on the side, and walked to the backyard.
Today has passed for most of the day, and she has to check on the grain seeds.
There can't be any problems with the grain seeds, otherwise her ten acres of land will be finished, and she will have to pay taxes with some silver money!
Thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu came to the cellar, opened the lid, flipped the grain seeds in the burlap bag, and felt the temperature of the grain seeds.
She felt that the temperature was acceptable, and that the grain seed should break her chest to-night, so she put the burlap bag away and put the lid on the cellar again.
Thinking that tomorrow the grain seeds will be scattered in the ground, Gu Jinxiu curled the corners of her lips and smiled.
