She had known that Zhou Jialin's family was coming, but it was estimated that the two families were here to borrow money, for fear that their own money would not be guaranteed, so they hid at home and did not come.

But Xiaoji girl ran to call her, saying that Xiaoyu asked her to come over, Chen understood in seconds, Xiaoyu girl is not good at scolding, and she wants her to scold. Then what is she polite, just scold.

Zhou Hushi was stunned by the scolding, looked at the still closed door and asked, "Who is this?" Why don't you know how to count etiquette? ”

"Phew, Zhou family, don't be ashamed to say this, who is the one who doesn't understand etiquette?" After Chen scolded, he said proudly: "Who is the old lady?" The old lady is Gu Chen, the aunt of the new Kexiu Caigong. Do you remember my nephew, named Gu Dexing, this time he was also admitted to Xiucai, and he also married the eldest lady of the Xu family, a wealthy family in the county. ”

"Haha, it's not me who blows, my nephew is really promising, others were admitted to Xiucai from the time he was a teenager to the soil, and he was admitted in his early twenties, what kind of fate is this? The future nephew and daughter-in-law are also filial and often send things to my family, and some time ago I was afraid that I would be tired, so I specially sent me a box of bird's nest. ”

"Do you know what bird's nest is? That's a precious thing that only the emperor's relatives can eat......"

With a squeak, Gu Jinli opened the door of the wing room and smiled at Chen: "Aunt Gui come in first." ”

Come in and blow again.

He said to Zezi, who ran over to see the situation: "Tell the eldest brother, it's okay here, and the affairs of the guest hall will be handed over to him." ”

Zezi is here, it must be the eldest brother who rushed back from Uncle Shang's house, so she can rest assured.

The eldest brother said last night that he was going to Uncle Shang's house this morning, and asked Uncle Shang not to lend the silver first, but to wait a few days.

Sawako nodded and turned back to the hall.

The man of the Zhou family wanted to run over to take a look, but unfortunately he was tripped by Feng Lian and Erqing with his feet and almost fell.

The two boys of the Zhou family were a little angry, they just heard Zhou Hu's voice, worried about her, and wanted to go over and have a look, this Gu family's subordinates just stumbled on them like this, hateful.

However, the third grandfather had already told them that the wing room on the right was a place to entertain female guests, so let them not go over.

But they still want to go over and see, what to see? See how your mother is scolded?

Zhou Dalang finally couldn't sit still, stood up, grabbed the two cousins with one hand, and said, "Second brother and third brother, Aunt Gu is a good-natured person, and the second aunt will be fine." ”

Zhou Erlang and Zhoulang were very unhappy, but they thought that Zhou Dalang's father and mother died while fleeing the famine, and his marriage was pinched by his father's mother, and he had to beat him before they married his daughter-in-law, so he was happy again.

Gu Jinan glanced at Zhou Dalang, and finally felt that the old Zhou family was still saved.

……

After a while, Erqing returned to the wing room and nodded at Gu Jinli.

Zhou Hu was still angry, and said to Chen: "Brother and sister of the Gu family, sister-in-law knows that your family is developed, but you can't scold people indiscriminately just because you are rich, right?" ”

"Heh, that's you looking for scolding!" Who was Chen afraid of in a quarrel? is to ruthlessly expose Zhou Hu's family: "It's okay to borrow money if you want to, but you can't take the opportunity to play other crooked ideas, and you still put the scores of the elders, we can't stand it if you can put it out." ”

Zhou Hu's face was flushed when she was said to be thinking about it, but she didn't want to make too much trouble, so she looked at Cui Shi and said: "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, I know that your family's life is better, is it ......"

"My family's good life is also hard earned." Cui's is not stupid, he knows that Zhou Hu's quietly has an unsightly idea, and he is very angry, and he doesn't give Zhou Hu a chance to talk nonsense again.

It was not easy for her two daughters to settle on a family affair, she had just slept more peacefully, did Zhou Hu want her insomnia?

Gu Jinli smiled, mother, yes, it is to show this kind of momentum, live in the countryside, and it is much better to splash a little than to be silent.

Zhou Hushi was stunned, he choked, knowing that he really made Cui's angry, he didn't dare to secretly say some stinging words, but cried: "Sister-in-law Gu, my brother and sister know that they can't speak, but your family must lend us money, otherwise my family will have to be pulled by the government to behead." ”

Zhou Hu had already calculated, so he asked Cui to borrow 200 taels of silver, 50 taels to pay taxes, 50 taels to build a new house, 50 taels to his two sons to say that his daughter-in-law and buy land, and the rest to do business.

She didn't believe it, if the Gu family could do business, her family would definitely be able to. And the Gu family is so rich, they shouldn't care about the two hundred taels of silver, and after she borrows the silver, if she doesn't pay it back for ten or eight years, the Gu family should forget about it.

It's a pity that she thought too beautifully, Gu Jinli said: "Silver, my family can't borrow it." ”

"Why?!" Zhou Hu was anxious, he stared at Gu Jinli, you girl can't shut up and not speak?

Gu Jinli said that he couldn't.

"The villagers in the ten miles and eight towns have no money to pay taxes, and you two are swaggering here, and now I don't know how many people in the village are staring at. If my family lends you the silver, within half a day, the entire Dafeng Village will be surrounded by people and come to borrow money from my family. ”

He added: "This is still secondary, the important thing is that those wicked people with bad intentions, seeing that my family has lent so much silver, gather people to come to the village to do evil and steal money, what should I do?" Wealth is not in vain, especially at times like these, so my family cannot lend you money, for you have come in vain. ”

This opening cannot be opened, and once it is opened, it will bring endless trouble.

"Actually, if the two of you quietly send someone to send a letter to the third grandfather and three grandmothers, they can quietly lend you this silver, but now that there is such a big commotion, in order to protect ourselves, we want to lend you money."

……

In the guest hall, Gu Jinan said the same thing.

When Zhou Lao heard this, he was stunned, and said angrily: "Gu family boy, what do you mean by this, just don't borrow it?" ”

Gu Jinan nodded: "In order to keep my family safe and not to be targeted by the villagers in ten miles and eight towns, my family can't borrow this silver." ”

"You!" Zhou Lao was extremely angry, he cried a lot, made a scene, and finally got such words, wouldn't it be in vain?

No, this is life-saving silver, Zhou Lao didn't want to go home empty-handed, so he looked at the third grandmother and said: "Sister-in-law Gu, I know you are a kind-hearted person, you have to help us, we don't want more, a family of fifty taels will be enough." As long as one hundred taels of silver can save the lives of our two families, it is a great blessing, maybe you do this good deed, and your family can be found. ”

When fleeing from the famine, the third grandfather and the third grandmother were inquiring about the news of Gu Fuya's family, so Zhou Lao Lin knew about it.

The third grandmother was stunned for a moment, thinking of the Fuya family, her eyes were red, but she shook her head and said, "No, this silver can't be lent to you." ”

It was already a big mistake for her to put the Zhou Lin family in, and after the Erqing girl came to remind her, if she still lent out the silver, it would be a mistake on top of a mistake.

Fuya is important, but the Dashan family is also very important to her.

Gu Jinan didn't want the third grandmother to be embarrassed, so he gave Zhou Lin Erlao a quasi-sentence: "Zhou Laolin, don't worry, although my family can't lend you money, there are people in Tianfu County who can lend you money." ”

He said that the county town was going to open a new money village and lend money to the peasants to pay taxes.
