The Mu family was so excited when they heard this, they didn't need Old Lady Mu to come out by himself, they ran into Old Lady Mu's house and set him up.

The eldest great-grandson of the Mu family hurriedly went to pick it up: "Master, you should hurry up." ”

looked like he was afraid that Old Lady Mu would be too slow and five thousand taels would fly away.

Erqing looked at them and was about to tell them, don't toss, I'm here to invite Mu Laozu today.

But the old lady said before she could stand firmly: "Little girl, go back and tell your master that the price of this house has risen, and it will cost eight thousand taels." ”

Rise your dad!

Erqing sneered: "Old lady Mu, your old mansion that can be swayed by a strong wind, asking for five thousand taels of silver is already ignorant of the rules, and now you still want eight thousand taels, this is to take us as fools." ”

She didn't even enter the house, stood at the gate and said: "I'm here to invite Mu Laozu to be a guest today, as for the house, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, we will pull it down, anyway, we have already bought the house of the Zhou family, and your house will be kept for the five generations of great-great-grandchildren." ”

The great-granddaughter-in-law has no money to marry, where did the five generations of great-grandchildren come from?

Erqing's temper is already much better than Daqing, but he is also angry with the Mu family, this is no longer a price to sit on the ground, but to cut meat with a knife.

Mu Laozu is already eighty years old, and many people envy her if she can live to this age, but now she is worse than dead...... When she married into the Mu family in the early years, the Mu family still had three shops, and there were more than 100 acres of land in the countryside, which was a very good family in the north of the city.

But after the separation, the land in the countryside was given to the second room, and her man was a long house, and he got the house and shop in the city.

The second room didn't want to go back to the countryside, and wanted to exchange land with them for a shop in the city, but her man didn't agree, and it was a fuss for a while.

Her man also said cruel words at the time: "Second brother, you listen to me, even if I am down, I am still from Fucheng, unlike if you want to go back to the countryside to farm!" ”

But now her family can't afford to live in this city, and her life is not as good as the second room in the countryside, and the great-great-grandchildren of other families can help work in the fields, and her eldest grandson has not even married a daughter-in-law.

The more Mu Laozu thought about it, the more sad he became, wiped his tears, listened to the third granddaughter-in-law talk about the courtyard in front of him, and said: "The third daughter-in-law, you go and tell the maid to wait, and I will clean up and go with her." ”

When the third granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family heard this, she was so happy: "Eh, the granddaughter-in-law will go and say it." ”

Just ran out a few steps, and then turned back to explain to Mu Laozu: "Old grandmother, you can't let go of their cheap too much silver, and the price has to rise." This is a big matter related to your great-grandchildren's daughters-in-law, if the price does not rise, then the silver is not enough! ”

When Mu Laozu heard this, he was even more sad, everyone said that she was blessed to have many children and grandchildren, but this blessing eats people, and the twenty great-grandchildren have all emptied the Mu family.

Mu Laozu didn't have time to cry now, but after wiping away his tears, he asked his fourth granddaughter-in-law to change into clothes without patches, comb his hair again, and follow Erqing to Gu's house.

Old lady Mu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Erqing: "If you go, don't talk about it." ”

Erqing said cruel words just now, and the old lady Mu didn't dare to entangle anymore, but he still wanted the eldest great-grandson of the Mu family to follow.

Erqing sneered, still disagreeing.

The great-great-grandson of the Mu family, a person who wants to go crazy even if he wants his daughter-in-law, can he let him enter the door of the Gu family? Stop dreaming!

"You can go with two women at most." Erqing Road.

The Mu family didn't agree, but Mu Laozu spoke: "Just let the fourth granddaughter-in-law follow, and the others stay at home." ”

The third granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family was anxious, and said: "Grandmother, you can go with two women, and the granddaughter-in-law will follow you to take care of you, so as not to be deceived by others." ”

Erqing smiled, if she could say this, if Mu Laozu agreed to her going, there would be no need to talk about it.

Fortunately, Mu Lao Zu didn't agree, and took his fourth granddaughter-in-law to take the Gu family's mule cart and left, making the other Mu family members very angry, shouting behind the mule cart: "Old grandmother, you remember to increase the price!" ”

……

Gu Jinli heard that Mu Laozu was coming, and went to the corner gate to greet her, and saw that she was not only hunchbacked, but also very thin, and she had not eaten enough for many years, and she had cataracts, and her eyes were covered with a layer of white skin, and she was almost blind.

She knew that this was a person who had a hard time, so she was kind to Mu Laozu, and asked Xiao Ji to go to the kitchen to make some soft minced meat and egg custard, and made a big bowl of meat noodles to serve together, so that Mu Laozu and the fourth granddaughter-in-law of the Mu family could eat.

After they were full, they said: "Grandma Mu, you don't need to say much about the situation of your family, there is no livelihood here, a family of dozens of people living in Fucheng is a dead end, the only way out is to go back to the countryside and start again." ”

If the Mu family still had a shop in Fucheng, she would never say such a thing, but the three shops of the Mu family were long gone, and there was no arable land, only working as a small worker in Fucheng, and there were so many great-grandchildren who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and that life would not go on at all.

"How old your house is, you don't need to say more about it, and the younger generations will not suppress the price of your family, a fixed price, give your family 3,000 taels of silver."

If it was Old Lady Mu, Gu Jinli didn't want to give a thousand taels, but after seeing Old Ancestor Mu, she was willing to give three thousand taels of silver.

Gu Jinli said again: "The paddy fields in your hometown are cheaper than those here, you can buy one acre for eight taels of silver, and your twenty great-grandsons, one person can buy five acres of paddy fields, and then buy ten acres of dry land, build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, two thousand five hundred taels is about the same." The remaining five hundred taels can be divided, give them a little silver, if they really have the ability, use this little family to work hard for a generation, maybe they can move back to Fucheng. ”

Gu Jinli has calculated this account, except for the expensive purchase of paddy fields, the others are very cheap in the countryside.

The house is thirty taels, and the daughter-in-law is generally about ten taels, and the dry land is cheaper, and it is more than enough to use two thousand five hundred taels of silver to place the twenty great-grandsons of the Mu family.

Mu Laozu was willing to come to sell the house, listened to Gu Jinli's words, and asked the fourth granddaughter-in-law to settle the accounts one by one, when he was really able to settle the twenty great-grandchildren, he cried with joy, groped and held Gu Jinli's hand and said: "Little girl, thank you, the old woman, you saved the Mu family's life." ”

She was so worried about the way out of her great-grandchildren that she almost hanged herself.

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "You are serious, we are a win-win situation." ”

But......

"If you want to do this, you have to rely on your old age."

Mu Lao Zu knew what Gu Jinli meant, so he promised: "Little girl, don't worry, no matter how they make trouble, I won't let them go to their death." ”

This is the only way for the Mu family to live, and whoever dares to stop her from doing it, she will blast anyone out of the Mu family.

Anyway, the title deed is what she holds.

After going home, ignoring the siege of his son, grandson, and great-grandson, he went back to the house to find out the title deed and household registration he had hidden, and went directly to the Yamen of Fucheng to complete the affairs of the house with the Gu family.
