Chapter 523: Separation
Today, because Gu Jinli was reading medical books at home, Zhu Camellia went to the workshop to fry tofu and did not follow Gu Jinxiu.
Now that the two of them are at home, Gu Jinxiu simply said: "Eldest sister knows what you want to ask, I'm not a fool, and I'm not blind, so I naturally understand." ”
"But the marriage event should be the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I have to abide by this rule, I can't break the rules because of anyone, and make it difficult for the adults of the two families."
Gu Jinli was a little surprised: "The eldest sister knows that Luo Boniang...... Aren't you angry then? ”
Gu Jinxiu smiled: "Uncle Luo is good with our mother, she watched us grow up, and she loves me from the bottom of her heart...... I don't know why, but she must not look down on me. ”
Gu Jinli frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What does the eldest sister mean now?" Do you want to marry Brother Luowu? ”
Gu Jinxiu's smile remained the same: "The eldest sister said that the marriage should be decided by the parents. If the parents of both families agree, the eldest sister is naturally willing. But if the parents of one family don't nod, the eldest sister won't cause trouble to our family. ”
She looked down at the picture of a rice tassel that was being embroidered, and said, "Brother Luo Wu is very good, if I can marry him, I will live a good life with him; If I can't, I'll live my life too. ”
When Gu Jinli heard this, she was really shocked and a little distressed, her sister has a delicate heart and has been living for her family.
Gu Jinxiu was stunned when she saw her, patted her forehead with a smile, and said, "You don't have to worry about the eldest sister." We are all blessed to survive on the road to escape from the famine, no matter who we marry, the future will definitely not be bad. ”
After Gu Jinxiu finished saying these words in her heart, she looked at the sky, saw that the sun had set in the west, put away the embroidery shed and said, "Mother and third grandmother are coming back soon, I'll cook." ”
Then he pointed to the soy sauce tank in the courtyard and said, "Cover your soy sauce, lest it be beaten by dew and spoil the taste." ”
……
The third grandfather walked around the end of the village, and finally told the family about the matter, and explained to them: "If you want to buy it, prepare the money, and tomorrow we will go to the county to buy the land together." Wu Ge'er said that the rich people in the county have been staring at the Zou family's industry, waiting for the yamen to start selling. ”
Several families were very moved when they heard this, and the most heart-warming was the Chen family, but because Sister Mei had no dividends for a few months, the family spent a lot of money in order to handle Sister Mei's funeral, and now the family has no money.
"Third uncle, if you have plenty of money, can you borrow some silver to buy us a few acres of paddy fields?"
The Chen family, the house and shop in the county, didn't dare to think about it, and just wanted to buy some paddy fields near the town and a variety of expensive rice.
The third grandfather knew that their family had been very poor recently, so he nodded and agreed: "Cheng, I'll go home and get you silver later." ”
Seeing that it was so easy to borrow the silver, Chen was so happy that good words kept pouring out, and he dragged Gu Dewang and Gu Defa over and said, "You two elm pimples, have you taken root?" Why don't you come over and thank you three grandfathers, if it weren't for your three grandfathers' help, you would have been able to eat expensive rice and oily meat? It's good to have two handfuls of soybeans to eat. ”
"Thank you, Third Grandpa." Gu Dewang and Gu Defa hurriedly came over to thank them, but secretly said in their hearts: Although the third grandfather helped their family a lot, their family can live a life of eating meat and relying on Sister Xiaoyu.
The third grandfather liked these juniors of the same clan very much, and he was happy when he looked at them, and after praising the two brothers a few words, he was about to leave, Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui took Gu Dexing back from the workshop.
Although Sister Mei'er's death made them very uncomfortable, they still had to live their lives, and they had already begun to go to the shop, study, and work in the workshop.
Gu Dafu saw the third grandfather coming, and learned that the Chen family was going to borrow money to buy paddy fields, so he said to the third grandfather: "Third uncle, I want to divide the family, you always help our brother to be a witness, and divide the family." ”
Gu Dagui was shocked when he heard this: "Big brother, why are you talking about this again?" Life is good, what kind of family is it? ”
Not long after Sister Mei died, the eldest brother was still sick, if the family was separated at this time, only the eldest brother and grandfather were left, how would this day be lived?
Gu Dafu insisted very much: "Our father and mother are no longer here, and we should have separated when we just settled down, but my younger brothers and sisters are benevolent and righteous, and I am afraid that Sister Mei will not be able to say goodbye to each other in the name of a widowed eldest daughter, so I didn't split up...... Now that Sister Mei is gone, this family should be divided, and the eldest brother can't affect your husband and wife because of his own family. ”
Besides, his widower who has a dead daughter-in-law lives with his younger brother and sister-in-law, and it is too ugly to make people gossip.
"Brother Xing'er has been a lot more sensible recently, and my health is much better than before, so we can live our lives and divide the family. After the separation, I am still your brother, your brother who broke bones and tendons, what are you afraid of? It's not that they don't interact after they are separated. Gu Dafu was easy to say, and finally lost his temper, and Gu Dagui agreed with red eyes.
The third grandfather was very pleased: "Your brothers can think about each other like this, and your father and mother will be happy if they have a spirit in the sky." ”
He also said: "Your brother will first take stock of the things at home, and when I come back from the county seat tomorrow, I will go to Village Chief He and choose an auspicious day for you, so that the family can be properly divided." ”
Gu Dafu said: "Third uncle, if you always lend the silver to the noble family, it will be counted as his family's silver, and the paddy fields that you will buy in the county seat tomorrow will also be counted as the great noble's family." ”
If the family is not separated, the paddy field bought by borrowing money will also be counted as the two brothers, and he will also have to share a share of the paddy field at that time, it is better to let the noble family borrow this silver, and then the paddy fields bought are all from the noble family.
Gu Dagui listened anxiously: "Big brother, this paddy field is difficult to buy, it's better to ......"
"Dagui, you listen to me first." Gu Dafu interrupted Gu Dagui's words and continued: "There are still dozens of taels of silver debts in the family, and these debts are counted on my head and will be repaid by me. ”
The family will be in debt, because Sister Mei has made heaven and earth and lost the family's dividends, so she has to borrow money to live.
"The family was fined a few months of dividends, this matter is Sister Mei'er's fault, and it should be borne by my house, and the dividends of this year's workshop are given to the noble family, which is considered the previous compensation."
Gu Dagui was angry when he heard this, and smashed the clay pot on the table, making Chen feel distressed: "Do you have something to say?" What smash what? This clay pot costs thirteen cents! ”
Isn't thirteen money money?
The Chen family didn't want to see Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui crying, so he slapped the table and said, "In this way, my family will get two more months of dividends, and the remaining two families will share it equally." ”
She said to Gu Dafu: "Big brother, I know that you are ashamed of our family, but you are the eldest brother of Dagui, he has always respected you, if you are so clear with him, don't you stab a knife in his heart?" ”
