Gao Shi was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at him, and asked in a daze, "What did you say?" ”

She felt that she might be really old and her hearing had deteriorated.

"I said, Auntie, give me a penny." Gu Song thought that she really didn't hear clearly, and repeated it again.

Gao's color changed instantly, and he was shocked: "What do you want silver?" ”

She had probably guessed it, and her voice sounded a little shrill and sharp.

"For the one outside." Gu Song nodded in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Gao glared at him for two seconds, instantly exploded, and began to cry loudly at Gu Song: "God, what kind of sin have I created, I have worked hard for this family for most of my life, and I have not enjoyed the blessings of my son when I am old, and I have to pour out money to supplement the debt collectors of the family, why is my life so bitter, I can't live this day......

"That's it! You have to cry and wait for the money to come out and then cry, what's the use of crying now, A-Niang, look outside, who is on your side? Gu Song said impatiently.

Gao paused while crying and patting his thighs, his voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at his eldest son with round eyes, but he didn't expect her son to talk to her like this, like a frightened bird, looking at him blankly.

"A-Niang, you just want to talk to the other side, have you ever thought about what the incident Gu Changning said today will have on the fourth brother?" Gu Song was too lazy to argue with the Gao family, and directly took out her weakness and said, "The most important thing for a scholar is reputation, otherwise, how could you think of ruining the reputation of that kid in the eldest brother's family to block his path to the imperial examination?" ”

Gao was startled, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Song again mercilessly.

"Don't say that you didn't do this, there are many people in the village who know about the past of our two families, even I can guess that it has nothing to do with you, A-Niang, do you think you can really hide it from other people in the village?"

Gao knew that he was right, but he was still a little reluctant, and sat there with a stiff face, looking unwilling.

Seeing A-Niang's stubborn look, Gu Song also lost his patience, "If you still want the fourth brother to participate in the imperial examination safely, it's best to solve it as soon as possible while the matter hasn't started, and it will be too late to solve it when the trouble is big." ”

Gu Song thought of the younger brother who was not successful, and couldn't help but sneer, and said mockingly, "The stigma on that kid in the eldest brother's family is fake, and it will be washed away slowly after a long time, but the fourth brother is not fake, what he did back then is not only known to the two of us, the elders of the Gu family know that it really has to be exposed to the people in the village, A-Niang, think about the benefits and disadvantages for yourself!" ”

mentioned his favorite youngest son, Gao's face couldn't hold back.

She lowered her head and thought about it, it was still her youngest son's future that mattered.

So he gritted his teeth, his face was full of reluctance and unwillingness, he slowly took out a penny of silver from the cabinet, moved as if he wanted her life with every step, and said angrily: "Take it, take it, take it to the cheap embryo outside!" Tell her to get out of here after taking the money! ”

Gu Song glanced at his mother, took the money and went out, without saying a word of comfort, and the Gao family was crying again in the room alone.

She didn't think about lowering the volume, she just deliberately wanted to cry so loudly, so that all the people standing outside the door could hear it clearly, and the expressions on each face were colorful and wonderful.

Mrs. Gao's temperament has been like this since she was a girl, and now her grandson is almost at the age of marrying a daughter-in-law in a few years, and she is still so spicy, I really don't know what to say.

Gu Song's face did not change and walked to the door with Gao's crying, handed the silver to Gu Changning, and said with a cold face: "After taking the money, go back and buy medicine for your aunt, as for the rest, the girl's family, don't be so broken." ”

That's a warning.

"Second uncle, don't worry, Changning knows." Gu Changning smiled sweetly at him, showing his good manners, and then hurried back with the money.

One penny of silver is enough to make stepgrandma feel distressed to death, Gu Changning is very proud when he thinks about it, and wants you to calculate our family, this is just a little trick to let you know that you are distressed, if you dare to make other moves, I will not spare it next time!

After Gu Changning left, Gu Song said with a dark face to the people gathered in front of his house: "The matter has been resolved, it is all scattered, what is there to see!" Don't look at it! ”

When the villagers heard such a big news, they all went home with satisfied expressions.

They were going to talk to their families.

"Brother, Ah Lin's matter ......" Gu Quan was just about to speak, but Gu Song directly stopped him.

"Xiaoyu, you take the money back and give it back to your grandma."

"Yes, Second Uncle." Gu Chuyu knew that his father had something to say to his second uncle, so he went directly to Gao's house and returned the five copper plates to her.

As for Gu Dayong, they also hurried back to their own houses after everyone left, and they were caught by Gu Song, who was not going well, and scolded them again.

"What are you going to say?" Seeing that there were finally only the two of them left in the courtyard, Gu Song turned his face to look at Gu Quan and said.

"I mean, Gu Changning told Daddy what happened before he died, will it have any impact on Ah Lin?"

Gu Song glanced at him and snorted, "What's the matter, you still follow A-Niang to dream of being an official?" ”

Gu Quan was stunned: "What, what do you mean......"

"At Ah Lin's level, you don't want to teach people, do you still expect him to be able to win the imperial examination?" Gu Song sneered.

"Just his three-minute heat, it's hell to be able to pass the exam, you see the whole village, except for A-Niang, who else is also optimistic about the little brother? If this matter can spread in the village, it will make Ah Niang die and dispel this unrealistic idea as soon as possible, it will help the two of us, at least the hard-earned money we earn every year will not have to make up for Ah Lin's family. ”

Gu Quan was silent, nodded for a while, and agreed with the second brother's words.

The second brother was right, the two of them worked hard and tirelessly in the fields, and all the money they earned was used by the Gao family to supplement Gu Lin.

But what kind of situation Gu Lin is can be seen now, and the imperial examination has long been hopeless.

It's just that Gao still doesn't want to be sober, and he still dreams of an old lady, looking forward to the day when his younger brother can get a fame in the exam, so that she can live a life of fine clothes and food in her old age.

If she is willing to just have that dream, the two brothers Gu Song will not care about her.

The bad thing is that she often uses the family's money to supplement Gu Lin.

What's even more hateful is that Gu Lin also knows that he is not that material, but he relies on Gao's preference for him/often asks for things and money at home.

That's fine, if they can really make Gao wake up from this sweet dream, it will indeed help them.

The consensus was reached, and Gu Song and Gu Quan entered the house as usual with tacit expressions, and no one thought of mentioning Gao's family.

Wu Shi was busy in the stove room for a while, and felt that the movement outside seemed to be smaller, and his courage jumped up.

She crept her head out and looked into the yard to see how things were going.

It turned out that there was no one at the door, and he immediately looked left and right in surprise, full of puzzlement.

How...... The matter was solved with thunder and rain?

"Second sister-in-law, let's hurry up, if it slows down for a while, we may have to eat standing up." Jiang was stir-frying, and seeing that she was still in the mood to peek at the situation, she mentioned it lightly.

Gao has a bad temper, but she is not a mother-in-law who can maliciously harness people, so when the two daughters-in-law Wu and Jiang first got married, they only set up rules for three months to let them eat at the table.

But that's what it's like usual.

If you happen to meet Gao Shi in a very bad mood, and the two of her are hitting the knife, then she won't run away while standing to eat.

To make matters worse, they couldn't even eat, so they had to wait for everyone else to finish eating before it was their turn.

Jiang had a hunch that Gao's anger was not light this time, if they didn't behave better, it would be a problem for them to eat standing up, and maybe they would only have to eat leftovers.

Jiang has always been a lively person, she saw that Gu Changning was so noisy when she came over, but now she solved it very calmly, and guessed in her heart that her mother-in-law must have bled this time.

can get money from Gao's hands, she has only seen Uncle alone with this ability in her life.

Now that Gu Changning has also taken money from her, you can imagine how bad her mood is now.

At this time, it is best not to touch her moldy head.

Although Wu didn't expect this, she also remembered her mother-in-law's ugly face, her heart trembled, and after thinking about it, she felt that what the third brother and sister said was also very reasonable, so she hurried back to cook together.

***

Gu Changning was very happy when she got this money, and she was so happy when she walked on the road, if someone wasn't watching, she was afraid that she would be able to hum a little song all the way back.

It's not okay to hum a little song, but she can say hello!

So she greeted every villager she met with a smile, showing her good mood.

At the same time, he did not forget to promote Gao's family, expressing why he was in such a good mood at the moment.

That's because she made Gao's heart ache!

"Hello auntie, have you eaten? Oh, why am I in such a good mood? Because my grandma paid for my aunt to buy medicine! I always thought that my grandma didn't like our family, but I didn't expect my grandma to be so good, knowing that my aunt was short of money to buy medicine, she gave me a penny of silver, who would dare to say that my grandma was not good in the future, I would be anxious with whom! ”

"Yes, yes? Did your grandma give your aunt the money for medicine? The villagers who heard this all opened their eyes in surprise, and their faces showed an incredible expression, wondering if this day was about to change.

The Gao family is such a picky person, and he is not even willing to spend more money on his own son and daughter-in-law - except for the four sons of the Gu family.

Now she is willing to spend money on her stepson's daughter-in-law, isn't this a ghostly idea?

Everyone thought so, looking at Gu Changning's expression full of joy, there was deep sympathy in his eyes.

Looking at this stupid child, I thought that her step-grandmother had figured it out and was willing to be good to their family.
