"It's up to you whether you buy anything or not!" Gu Changning deliberately glanced at her, and said in an unkind tone, "Don't spend your family's money!" ”

She has always been very uneasy with the people over there, and if she replies to her in a good voice in order to rush back early, it will be even more suspicious.

She simply made an impatient appearance, so that if the two quarreled, she would have a reason to go back first.

Gu Yuehuan didn't expect Gu Changning to be carrying a piece of pork behind her at the moment, she just heard from A-Niang that it was not enough for the uncle's family to use up all the money in their hands in order to build that house, and there was still a few taels, and the uncle even came back to ask Grandma to borrow money, but Grandma refused.

Later, I heard that they asked the rest of the village to borrow money, and then the house was built.

Now she saw Gu Changning and Gu Huai'an coming back from outside, Gu Changning was dressed as a boy again, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like he came back from a nearby mountain, it was a little strange, so she deliberately asked tentatively.

As a result, seeing that Gu Changning did not deny it, she knew that she was right.

But where do they get their spare money?

Could it be that the deposit that the uncle got before leaving with the convoy was more than ten taels of silver?

It is no secret that Gu Shan took a deposit of ten taels from the neighboring town before leaving home, for this matter, Gu Gao's family came to make trouble before Gu Shantou was seven years old, and scolded Yang Huiyun for being shameless, a black-hearted woman, and actually swallowed these ten taels of silver in private.

Especially Gu Gao's family, licking his face and saying that Gu Shan was the eldest son, all the money he earned should be handed over to her, and scolded Yang Huiyun to hand it over quickly, otherwise he would sue her for unfilial piety and leave her from the Gu family.

This incident caused a stir in the village, and the villagers discussed it one after another.

Some people say that the daughter-in-law here is unfilial, and if she takes the money and hides it privately, she should be driven out of the house.

It is said that this mother-in-law is too ruthless, the pillars of this family are gone, Yang Huiyun is a woman with two children, and there is one in her belly, this has no financial resources, ten taels of silver is afraid that it is not enough for them to live, Gu Gao's family also came to ask for money, it is to force this family to death.

The matter was very big, and Li Zheng also heard about it, but the Gu family was relatively special, and he had no right to take care of it, so he could only leave it to the Gu clan patriarch to solve.

The patriarch of the Gu clan is a kind man, although he sympathizes with the orphans and widows of Gu Changning's family, but he is not willing to offend the Gu Gao family for this, so he plays fifty boards each, and Yang Huiyun can hand over half of the silver.

He thought that he was already very fair, and according to Gu Gao's original idea, it would be good to leave her two taels of silver.

Yang Huiyun's heart was full of grief at that time, but she had to face the ambition calculations of Gu Gao's group, and she almost didn't survive.

Fortunately, Aunt Chunhua and Wang Xiu'e supported her at that time, and Yang Huiyun recovered her strength and directly took out an account book from the back room, which recorded how the ten taels of silver were spent.

It turned out that the ten taels of silver had already been paid off first when Yang Huiyun got it, and the big head of it was Patriarch Gu.

Gu Shan borrowed six taels of silver from the patriarch Gu in the construction of the house last year, and the two agreed to repay it within a year, and they would add half a tael of silver when they repaid it, which was equivalent to six taels and a half.

The remaining three or two halves are the other seven families, and now they have all been repaid.

Yang Huiyun said bluntly in front of all the villagers, these ten taels of silver have all been used to repay debts, and Gu Gao's family wants it, so he can only get it back from them.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Patriarch Gu and the seven families were not good-looking.

Especially the patriarch Gu, he has the largest share here, plus he also calculated half a tael of silver with Gu Shan to make a profit, in the meaningful eyes of everyone, he only felt embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to get into the cracks on the ground.

He discussed the matter of repaying the extra money with Gu Shan in private, and he didn't want the clansmen to know, so as not to damage his image as the patriarch.

However, it was still revealed by Yang Huiyun, and he couldn't help but feel some resentment in his heart, blaming her for not recruiting herself.

Then he was also annoyed with Gu Gao's, if she hadn't suddenly said that she was going to divide the money, how could this matter be shaken out and let everyone know.

Therefore, Patriarch Gu's eyes when he looked at Gu Gao's clan also contained a bit of unkindness.

Seeing the displeased look on the patriarch's face, Gu Gao didn't dare to ask the patriarch to spit out the more than six taels of silver, and then set his eyes on the other seven households, but she was smacked a few times by those families.

"Phew, you shameless old man, it is natural to repay debts, he Gu Shan owes my family money, whether he is dead or alive, he has to pay back!" The woman rolled her eyes at Gu Gao and said, "Even if Gu Shan's mother comes, you have to pay back the money first, and you, a step-family who is a concubine, also have the face to ask for silver?" ”

Gu Gao was so angry that she was going crazy, trembling all over, the last thing she could hear in her life was the word steproom, her eyes were red as if they were dripping with blood, and she glared at the woman angrily.

Scenes like this have always been the most talked about, and at that moment several women looked at this place with a light in their eyes, and their faces were excited, as if they were expecting a fight.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the second daughter-in-law Wu hurriedly pulled Jiang forward to stop the turmoil, avoided her mother-in-law from making a fool of herself, and persuaded her to return to Gu Gao's family.

Although this matter didn't work out in the end, but since then, Gu Gao's family is not just disgusted with Gu Changning's family, she can't wait for their family to be a short-lived ghost like Gu Shan, they curse at home every day, and even take the children at home to learn a few words.

Originally, Gu Shantouqi's Gu Gao family didn't allow his family to go over there, not a single one.

Later, the patriarch Gu felt that this was not good-looking, so he personally went to the door to find Gu Gao's family, and Gu Gao's family reluctantly sent Gu's third daughter-in-law, Jiang, over.

People let her pass, but she is not allowed to come back for more than a quarter of an hour, basically just to show up in the past, and it is best not to enter the door.

And after this incident, everyone also knew that the ten taels of deposit was gone.

The deposit is gone, but it still can't stand it, and some people suspect that Yang Huiyun must still have money in her hands before, and she wants to hollow out their family's foundation.

Therefore, except for Wang Xiu'e and others, who are good friends with Yang Huiyun, the attitude of the people in the village towards their family is very polarized.

Either they feel poor and can't get a few copper plates, or they still have a lot of silver hidden in their hands.

Gu Gao's family is obviously the former, in their hearts, Gu Changning's family should be almost unable to eat salt, how can they still have spare money to buy things?

Gu Yuehuan was very suspicious in her heart.

Gu Huai'an saw her look on her face and knew that she had some thoughts in her heart, so he stood up and said: "Second sister, Changning and I just went to the town to buy some oil and salt and came back, and the silver I used to buy things is the money I earned by copying books in the past two months, although it is not much, but it is enough to eat for a month." ”

He will admit that he has been making money by copying books these days, also in order to find a reasonable explanation for his family's expenses.

Everyone in the village knew about his education, so he said that he made money by copying books, and no one would doubt it.

Sure enough, Gu Yuehuan didn't suspect it at all after hearing this, she just stared at Gu Huai'an with a bright eye, and she didn't know what the hell she was thinking, so Gu Changning snorted coldly in her heart.

"What are you doing with so much with her? Let's go back quickly, I haven't done any work today, the chickens in the backyard haven't been fed yet, the vegetable garden hasn't been watered yet, brother, you haven't copied the book today, there are many things to do for a while, how can you have time to chat here. Gu Changning pretended to be dissatisfied and urged his brother.

Gu Huai'an nodded, and said to Gu Yuehuan: "Then we'll go back first." ”

A group of children waved after Gu Huai'an, and then watched him leave.

"You can also make money copying books? It's great, I miss studying too......" one kid said with a sigh.

"Studying? Does your family have that money? Gu Yuehuan glanced at him coldly, and said disdainfully, "Don't look at my brother in the lobby who seems to be reading well now, I've heard people say that this imperial examination is very difficult, there are many people who only pass the exam at the age of twenty or thirty, and some of them have not passed the exam for a lifetime, this is a bottomless pit, my aunt's family has no income now, how much money can I earn by copying books?" I see, Brother Lobby's book is in vain, and the money spent over the years has been spent in vain! ”

The schadenfreude in her tone was not too obvious, anyway, she felt that Gu Huai'an would not be able to get any famous.

Of course, she didn't want Gu Huai'an to be famous, because if Gu Huai'an was promoted, Gu Changning's status would be higher than her, which was something she didn't want to see.

Everyone listened to her words and looked at each other silently, but no one said a word.

No one in the village knows about Gu Yuehuan's branch, from a sixty-year-old man to a five-year-old child, they all know the grievances between the two families.

At this time, listening to Gu Yuehuan sneering at them behind their backs, they pretended not to hear and continued to play Fang Cai's game, directly ignoring this matter.

After Gu Changning and Gu Huai'an walked out of a distance, they felt that they couldn't hear their voices, so they exhaled sharply, patted their chests and said, "I'm scared to death, just standing there, I'm afraid that Gu Yuehuan will suddenly rush up and turn over the back basket." ”

She definitely wouldn't obediently let Gu Yuehuan flip, but she was afraid that she would spill things out during the scuffle, which would be bad.

"No, with me, I'll stop her." Listening to his sister's words, Gu Huaian couldn't help but laugh and said comfortingly.

Gu Changning didn't answer, she clutched the strap of the basket tightly, thinking that she could have a good meal of meat at night, she was very happy in her heart, and walked out of the steps that her six relatives did not recognize.

Since Daddy's "death", the family will not cook more than two taels of meat at a time, and she has to cut the meat into slender shredded meat to add some meat to each vegetarian dish.

And today I can make a pound of meat at a time, I don't need to carefully cut the shredded meat like before, and strive to get some meat in every dish, I can directly make a meat dish, Gu Changning is already a little impatient just thinking about that picture.

So when she got home, Gu Changning put the basket into the kitchen and put the embroidery thread back in the room, seeing that there was still more than an hour before dinner, she wanted to go to the backyard to finish the work before starting to cook.

As a result, when he accidentally touched the silver two in his sleeve, he was stunned for a while.

Oops, she hasn't figured out how to explain the origin of the ten taels of silver to A-Niang!
