Chapter 76: Greed (2)
Qingshu handed the two large characters written to Gu Xian and asked her to check them.
Gu Xian checked half of it, and Mrs. Qi came over.
Putting the two big characters on the table, Gu Xian asked, "What's the matter with Mom coming over?" ”
Mrs. Qi lowered her eyebrows and said, "The old lady asked Mrs. to come over and discuss something." ”
Gu Xian is a filial daughter-in-law, and immediately stood up when she heard this.
Qingshu was afraid that Gu Xian would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly walked over and helped her and said, "Mother, I'll go with you." ”
Gu Xian was afraid that Qingshu would talk back and be reluctant to let her go: "I'll be back soon." You endorse it well, and I'll do a spot check when I come back. ”
It's obviously an excuse that you don't want her to go. But Qingshu knew Gu Xian's temperament, and she was not allowed to go, and she would be unhappy if she was crooked again.
Sighing in his heart, Qingshu had to respond helplessly: "Okay." ”
In the old lady's heart, the heirs are bigger than the sky, of course, only the male grandchildren. This will make Gu Xian pregnant, so Qingshu is not worried that the old lady will be unfavorable to Gu Xian.
Old Mrs. Lin thought that as long as she opened her mouth, Gu Xian would agree. After all, Le Zu is the eldest grandson of the family, and his future is very important to the Lin family. Unexpectedly, Gu Xian disagreed.
Gu Xian said more tactfully: "Mother, I will give birth in more than two months." Children are noisy, and it would be inappropriate to argue with Lezu to delay his rest. ”
Lin Lezu is the treasure of the old lady, but she has to bear the slightest mistake. And Lin Lezu has a father and a mother, what's the matter with her. So she won't take this hot potato.
Mrs. Lin's face softened slightly: "It's not unreasonable for you to worry, but Lezu wants to go to the city to study and get next year, so I'll tell you first." ”
There are only two ways to enter a good school, one is to pass the exam, and the other is to find the back door. Finding the back door to enter would make people look down on her, so she wanted Lin Lezu to get in by herself.
Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Mother, I plan to take my child to the capital to find my husband after the beginning of spring next year." ”
Mrs. Lin's face was pale, and she said, "Why don't you stay in Taifeng County with your children, what are you going to do in the capital?" ”
Gu Xian said: "Xianggong has no personal care in the capital alone, I don't worry." ”
Mrs. Lin frowned and said, "By the beginning of spring next year, the child will only be eight or nine months old, what should I do if there is a long way to go?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it."
Although she saw that Mrs. Gu was gloomy, Gu Xian still said: "Before Xianggong left, he told me that after Xiaoshui was born, he would let me take the child to Beijing, and the family would be reunited." Otherwise, when he comes back, I'm afraid the two children won't recognize him. ”
Xiaoshui is the nickname given by Lin Chengyu's unborn child. Don't dare to be male or female, this nickname can be used.
Mrs. Lin looked stunned and said, "I heard that you need money to drink saliva in the capital, what kind of life do you take your children to the capital?" ”
Gu Xian repeated what she said to Mrs. Gu: "I am going to sell the shop, the fertile land and the mulberry land." I calculated that it should be sold for three thousand taels of silver. ”
Mrs. Lin's face changed greatly: "No." ”
She regards these properties as the Lin family's property, and now Gu Xian wants to sell it, which is tantamount to cutting her flesh.
Gu Xian looked puzzled.
Mrs. Lin also felt that her attitude was a little excessive, and hurriedly covered up: "You have sold all your property, how will you live after you use up all the money from the sale?" ”
Gu Xian told me about her plan: "Xianggong wrote to me and told me that it would cost about six or seven hundred taels of silver to buy a house in the capital. The rest of the money will be used to buy a shop and do some business when the time comes. ”
"You think it's that easy to do business? How many people have lost their money in business. ”
Gu Xian wasn't worried about this: "Don't worry about this mother, I've already planned it." When I arrived in the capital, I opened a restaurant and sold breakfast. ”
This is actually Mrs. Gu's suggestion. With Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship, this breakfast shop is not afraid of no business. She doesn't ask for much, she just earns thirty or fifty taels of silver a month, which is enough for the family to chew.
Mrs. Lin felt that Gu Xian was really Miss Jiao, how could it be so easy to do business in this way: "What if I lose everything?" ”
Gu Xian smiled and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry, you won't lose." ”
With her mother here, she will definitely not lose, but she can't say this to Mrs. Lin. Her mother was going to go to the capital with her, except for Lin Chengyu, she was not prepared to tell the rest of the Lin family, so she could save unnecessary trouble.
Mrs. Lin didn't have a legitimate reason to object, so she said with a cold face: "You can go to the capital, but the property can't be sold." ”
The properties that Gu Xian married were all excellent, and it would be difficult to buy them back after selling them.
Hearing this, Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Mother, if I don't sell these properties, I won't have the money to go to the capital." Besides, I'm not in the county, and no one takes care of these industries. ”
Mrs. Lin immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will let Chengzhi take care of these industries for you!" At the beginning of the year, I will send you the interest I earned. ”
Gu Xian hesitated a little when she heard this, and said after half a ring: "But if you don't sell your property, you can't buy a house in the capital." When the time comes, there will not even be a place to live. ”
"You can rent a house first."
Gu Xian was reluctant and said: "Renting a house is not stable, the owner will increase the price at any time, and even an unhappy person may kick us out." Mother, we have to stay in the capital for at least two years, and it is not cost-effective to rent a house. ”
First, renting a house is not reliable, and secondly, renting a house is not a long-term solution. Therefore, Gu Xian is ready to buy a house.
Old Madam Lin hesitated and said, "In this way, I will give you two hundred taels of silver, if it is not enough, you can borrow some from your mother." Wait for the income of the field shop to come up, and then return it to your mother. ”
Gu Xian was stunned, she had been married to Lin Chengyu for more than six years and had never asked her mother for a penny.
Coming back to her senses, Gu Xian shook her head and said, "Mother, how can I use your money." ”
Old Mrs. Lin said with a tough attitude: "No need to say it again, it's decided." ”
Gu Xian went back to the house sullenly.
Qingshu put down the book, sat down beside her and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" Isn't it grandmother who is embarrassing you again. ”
Gu Xian glared at her and said, "What are you talking about?" That's your grandmother. ”
"Yes, yes, that's my grandmother. Mother, if there is anything, you can say it, and everyone will find a way to solve it together. ”
The appearance of this little adult made Gu Xian sweep away the gloom and smiled: "These things will be solved, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Mother, does it have anything to do with money?" ”
Gu Xian was very surprised, how did this kid know.
Sure enough, as she expected, it had something to do with money. After thinking for a while, Qingshu asked tentatively: "Mother, it won't be that grandmother doesn't allow you to sell your land and shop, right?" ”
Gu Xian looked like a ghost.
Qingshu thought of the virtues of the Lin family and asked, "Mother, grandmother didn't let you not only sell the shop, but also said that she would let the second uncle and the third uncle help take care of it, right?" ”
Gu Xian asked suspiciously, "Did you hide outside just now and eavesdrop on my conversation with your grandmother?" ”
Other than that, she really couldn't figure out how Qingshu knew about it.
Qingshu's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he left it to the Lin family to take care of, and then there would be anything to do with them.
"Mother, you won't agree, will you?"
Gu Xian shook her head and said, "No." But your grandmother didn't allow me to sell those properties, and she was very tough. ”
Qingshu's face is a little better.
