Chapter 587: The Silver Sent Back in the Past Three Years

The border city barracks, the situation has changed abruptly.

Beijing, push hands to help.

Soon, the sky changed.

General Wu died, and General Gu took over as general.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with the rural village, which received the news of the death of the big boss as scheduled.

After Gu Tai got the news of her death, the indescribable complexity in her heart was the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, but the human heart was originally biased, not in the middle, but on the left.

How could she level a bowl of water.

There are always sons who like and sons who don't.

When the news of the conscription came, she naturally chose the most unpleasant son to send out.

But when the news of her son's death came, she had a different feeling in her heart, some were reluctant, and some regretted that she didn't use the money to let someone replace her son as a soldier.

In fact, she had ten taels of silver in her hand at that time, and as long as she paid for it, her fourth son did not need to be a soldier.

It's just that she had ten taels of silver in her hand at that time, a large family, and she couldn't starve everyone to death in order to keep a son.

Along with the urn was sent back, there was also a money bag.

Gu Tai opened the money bag and saw that it was not silver, but golden ingots.

In the past three years, Shiro has sent a lot of silver to his home, from one tael at the beginning, to ten taels later, and then to thirty taels or fifty taels in the second year...... On one occasion in the third year, a silver ticket of one hundred taels was sent back.

She didn't know what her son had done, how he could get so much silver, and there were also other people's sons in the village who were sent to serve as soldiers, so they could only send one or two pieces of silver to their families every month.

It seems that the military salary is only one or two pieces of silver a month.

But her son was terrible, before and after, a total of more than 500 taels of silver.

This time, there were ten gold ingots of twenty taels in the money bag, a total of two hundred taels of gold, that is, two thousand taels of silver.

There is a lot of money, and it is hot.

She was just an old lady in the countryside, she couldn't stand it, and she was a little panicked.

While the fourth daughter-in-law went out to do farm work, she brought her eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to call everyone back from the family, except for Shiro's family.

Gu Tai got straight to the point: "Over the years, Shiro has sent a lot of silver back. ”

Sister-in-law Gu was surprised: "Mother, didn't you say that the fourth brother only sent back a few copper plates each time?" ”

The second sister-in-law Gu is a clear-eyed person, and she immediately understood that the old lady used to fool people.

Gu Tai said with a calm face: "That's because there is too much silver, I don't dare to say it, for fear that you will spread it." ”

Sister-in-law Gu was surprised: "Too much silver? Isn't he just a small soldier, how much silver can he have, and the son of the Wang family at the head of the village also went to be a soldier, doesn't it mean that the soldier's salary for a month is only one or two silver? ”

"A tael of silver is quite a lot, it's more than a few copper plates, right?" Gu Er's sister-in-law said.

Gu San's sister-in-law pursed her lips and didn't speak, just watching the two concubines play.

Gu Tai stretched his face, "Boss, second, take care of your daughter-in-law, let the old lady interject after she finishes speaking!" ”

The old man glared at the ancient sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Gu didn't dare to speak out.

Gu Er glared at Gu Er's sister-in-law, but was glared back, but Gu Er's sister-in-law didn't speak.

Gu Tai opened a wooden box at this time, and this opening instantly illuminated the hall, silver, gold ingots, a whole box, neatly placed.

If you do a rough calculation, this will be at least more than 2,500 taels.

Sister-in-law Gu covered her mouth so that she didn't exclaim.

The second sister-in-law Gu was already stunned, and she couldn't even make a sound.

The third sister-in-law Gu was the most calm, and at this time she spoke: "Mother, this is sent back by the fourth brother?" What did he do, don't do the thing of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, in exchange for so much silver. ”
