Chapter 151: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind
"The people in the village are right, my business is okay, and now I want to find a stone mill to develop pepper and prepare a new seasoning for the restaurant." Duran was neither humble nor arrogant.
The woman smiled, and sarcastically said in her heart, no matter how good her business was, it was not as good as Gu Chunyan flying on the branches and enjoying the glory and wealth, which was like her, and she had to rely on her own hands to show her head outside and work hard.
Boss Du saw that the woman was lukewarm to them, and smiled awkwardly, "Isn't Lao Gen at home?" Why don't you see him come out? ”
The woman glanced at him: "Lao Gen has gone to the field, he can't be the master of this stone mill, this is the dowry that my mother married me back then, you have to ask me if I agree." ”
Du Lan smiled lightly, and glanced at the dilapidated courtyard out of the corner of her eye, the tiles on the roof were all warped, this situation was not much better than the dilapidated house where Gu You'an lived before, she said around the corner: "Aunt Lao Gen, I heard from the uncle that your sons are all married, so you don't grind tofu, right?" ”
"Well, our two sons are more productive than our old couple, they don't take over the work of grinding tofu, they both work in the county, they are still filial, and we are waiting to enjoy Qingfu." Aunt Lao Gen said proudly.
Duran couldn't help but sneer: "Heh! ”
Aunt Lao Gen saw Duran's disdain, and immediately glared, "Hey, I said Duran, what do you mean by laughing?" Why do you look down on us? ”
Duran simply said: "Your two sons let your second elder live in this kind of house?" I'm afraid I'll have to pick up a few pots in the house on a rainy day, right? ”
was ridiculed by Duran in person, and Aunt Gen's old face turned pale for a while, "We don't want the children to break the bank, what's wrong with our willing to live in a broken house?" It's like a man in your family, who was raised by his uncle and aunt for nothing, and in the end he married a daughter-in-law and broke up the family, thinking that you were doing better than others, but as a result, other people's daughters came out and ascended to the sky in one step. Look at you, you're not working day and night like an old scalper. And ran to my house to laugh at me, hum! ”
Duran heard it, and dared to love Aunt Lao Gen and wanted to slap Gu Zhiping's family.
Boss Du didn't expect that Du Lan would have a stiff fight with Aunt Lao Gen as soon as he came in, and he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Aunt Lao Gen misunderstood, Lan Lan didn't mean this, she ......"
Duran interrupted: "Uncle doesn't need to explain to me, I do work with my own hands, although it is hard, but life is prosperous, and many people in the village live a good life, and no matter how good Gu Chunyan is, can she help any family in the village make a fortune?" Aunt Lao Gen raised Gu Chunyan like this, did she give you benefits, or did you follow her to get naked? ”
Aunt Lao Gen's face was embarrassed by Du Lan's squeeze, but she couldn't find anything to refute, and she helped Gu Chunyan laugh at Du Lan, and what kind of good did she get. However, Duran is right, many families in the village have learned sweet and sour fish, and they have gone to the streets and alleys to sell it, and they have also earned a few small money, and it is not a problem to support their families. Later, the villagers went up to the mountains to pick pepper and earn a little money to subsidize their families.
Seeing that almost half of the villagers are living better than herself, she only has envy.
If this continues, sooner or later he will become a backward poor household in the village.
Besides, her two sons, nominally working in Luo'an City, are actually some short-term workers, some today and tomorrow, they have been running back and forth in the city for two years, and they have not found long-term jobs.
Du Lan smiled lightly, looked at Aunt Lao Gen's eyeballs, knowing that she was pondering her own words in her heart, Du Boss opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Du Lan's look.
Sure enough, Aunt Lao Gen figured it out and asked Duran with a red face: "That...... How much money are you going to pay? This is my dowry, which was left by my grandmother at that time, and then my mother grinded tofu until she couldn't push the grinding stone, and then she married me. ”
Hearing that she was relieved, Boss Du laughed and asked, "Aunt Lao Gen, what do you mean by this?" With Duran's current family business, he can afford to find someone to make a new stone mill. ”
When Aunt Lao Gen heard this, she was angry: "Steward Du, you speak so ugly." This is the inheritance of our family for several generations, how can you defile and defile it at will? If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and if you don't buy it, I won't sell it. ”
As he spoke, he was about to blast people out.
It seems that in addition to being prejudiced against herself, Aunt Lao Gen really cherishes this stone mill, Du Lan pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Then Aunt Lao Gen will make a price." ”
"Three thousand dollars, a lot of money!" Aunt Lao Gen said stiffly.
Boss Du immediately opened his eyes wide: "Aunt Lao Gen, you lion open your mouth, your stone mill is idle at home, selling it for money is a money, and you have said it yourself, it has been used for three generations, this stone mill has been used for nearly a hundred years, it is old, and a new one is only sold for this money." If you are cheaper, you should look at my face. ”
Boss Du barried his neck and bargained, three thousand dollars was three taels of silver.
Du Lan also felt that Aunt Lao Gen was a bit of a sitting, she smiled coldly, "In this case, then Aunt Lao Gen will stay at home as an antique, maybe it will be more valuable in a hundred years." ”
After speaking, he pulled up Boss Du and turned around to leave.
However, she walked very slowly, and her heart was blocking Aunt Laogen's current poor family situation, and being able to sell two taels of silver was enough for her to recite Amitabha.
Sure enough, within five steps, I heard Aunt Lao Gen stomp her feet, "That's it, two thousand dollars, no matter how little it is, it really won't be sold." ”
The corners of Duran's lips hooked, and he turned away, "Then I'll take advantage of the beauty of people." In order to make Aunt Lao Gen feel more comfortable, Duran continued: "It just so happens that I am short of people, if you have free time, you can go to my place to work as a casual worker, and the salary will be paid daily." ”
Aunt Lao Gen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was so excited that she almost thanked Duran, "Okay, then when my two sons come back the day after tomorrow, I will let them personally carry the stone mill over." ”
"Thank you very much." Duran smiled and walked out of Aunt Laogen's house.
Boss Du shook his head and chuckled: "Hehe, I can see what it means to have money to make ghosts grind." ”
Duran echoed and laughed: "Haha, I'm called rich and can make grinding ghosts." ”
"Yes, yes, it's still good money, you can do anything. Duran, you are really capable, let Mimi learn from you in the future, and your aunt and I will count on Mimi when we are old. ”
"You asked Du Mi to make spices with me? I'm all hard work, she's a girl's family, and I'm not afraid of delaying my in-laws when doing these rough jobs? Duran joked.
"As I told you, having money can make the ghost grind, and when Mimi earns money, isn't it better to find a son-in-law who is inverted than to marry?" Boss Du is full of yearning, he has no son in his family, and finding a son-in-law who is inverted can be regarded as a successor.
On the Tang Gate's side, Gu Youan and Xue Yan came out of the secret passage, and the Tang Gate's miscellaneous servants were already waiting for them in the conference hall.
"The door master, Xue Duo master, Aunt Tang has woken up."
Gu Youan's face was happy, and he turned his head to look at Xue Yan: "Aunt Tang is awake." ”
Xue Yan nodded happily: "Then go and see Aunt Tang, she just woke up, and I guess the person I want to see the most is you." ”
Gu Youan nodded excitedly, Aunt Tang had suffered too much for him, and walked quickly with the handyman to the room where Aunt Tang was.
Creak! There was a knock on the door, and Gu Youan pushed the door in.
Aunt Tang turned her head when she heard the sound of the door opening, and saw that it was Gu You'an, tears suddenly flowed down from the corners of her eyes, and she murmured in a trembling voice: "Little Shizi......"
A little Shizi, as if pulling back time to more than ten years ago, Gu You'an had mixed feelings in his heart, his eyes were swollen, he walked quickly to the bed, reached out and held Aunt Tang's hands tightly, leaned over to her, and whispered: "Aunt Tang......"
"You have grown up, and you have become more and more abundant as King Shuo." Aunt Tang looked at Gu Youan's handsome face seriously, and tears flowed down again.
At that time, she and Gu Tainian fled with Xiao Shizi, but was pursued by the enemy on the way, Gu Tainian took Xiao Shizi and separated from her, so she took root in Luo'an City, and did not dare to inquire openly, and finally entered the county government as an errand.
Most of the prisoners were ruffians and well-informed, and she might be able to hear a word from the mouths of these prisoners if something went wrong.
But more than ten years have passed, and Xiao Shizi and Gu Tainian are like stones sinking to the bottom of the sea, without a trace.
Perhaps by chance, she was able to meet Xiao Shizi's wife in the cell, and because of this, she was suspected by Bai Wangyuan and put in prison.
I didn't expect Xiao Shizi to come to save her, she was so excited.
"Aunt Tang, you have suffered." Gu Youan said softly.
Aunt Tang shook her head lightly, with tears in her eyes, "It's not bitter, I have no regrets in my life if I can see the son alive." ”
"Aunt Tang, don't say that, you will definitely live a long life, now that I have found you, I will never let you suffer again, and when I return to Shengjing in the future, I will let you enjoy your old age in peace."
Aunt Tang nodded with satisfaction, "I'm looking forward to that day." I believe that by that day, the prince will be able to win a great victory, and I can still serve by the princess's side. ”
Speaking of his father, the princess, and the princess, Gu Youan's heart trembled, although he had not personally experienced the bloody storm, from the expressions of Xue Yan and Aunt Tang now, he could expect the danger at that time.
