Chapter Thirty-Six: Kneel
"What? The second one's family? Our Gu family hasn't split up yet! The money is all in the public government, and your father and I are not dead! What kind of mourning are you howling here? I'm your mother-in-law, I said that the third child can use this money, and I can use your consent? Which green onion are you? Dare to take care of your in-laws? Unfilial things. Lu pointed at He and scolded, this idiot dared to aim at the money in the public school? This money is all used by the third child to get married, which one gives her the courage to dare to splash in front of her in-laws?
Yu Datie on the side saw that the Gu family had infighting, and he was also happy to watch the play, anyway, a lot of his silver was fine!
"Second brother, what do you say about this?" Daddy Gu just wants to know what Gu Chengyi thinks, he can't care about his daughter-in-law, he will have his son in charge. But the second child is his son, and he can manage it. The third child is still his brother, he wants to see if he still has his father and brother in his eyes.
Gu Chengyi also hesitated when he heard his father calling him. Ten taels of silver, how much does that have to be? He had never seen so much silver. The Gu family paid taxes every year, and the rest of the grain was sold, and it could be sold for more than two taels of silver, plus the short-term work he and his eldest brother did, they could have two taels of silver, which added up to more than four taels of silver. But there are a lot of Gu families! Don't spend it all year round? A few years ago, the family spent a lot of money on marrying and having a baby, and he could calculate how much silver he could have left. And there is another important matter to consider, he knows from the shopkeeper Zhou that he is about to serve as a servant.
Gu Chengyu also set his eyes on the second brother, wanting to see through what he thought, he was afraid that the answer he heard would disappoint him.
"Dad, how much silver do we have in our family?" Gu Chengyi raised his head and looked at Daddy Gu intently, as if he wanted to see something in Daddy Gu's eyes.
"You don't care about this, I said ten taels, that's enough, you just say what you think. Since I asked, I also asked the boss, but do you have an opinion? Father Gu turned around and looked at Gu Chengli.
Gu Chengli hurriedly waved his hand, "Dad, it's good for you to make a decision, the third brother is our own brother, and the third brother has an accident, just use it, how can I have any opinions?" ”
Father Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Chengyi was angry for a while, he didn't drag his feet so much, the boss was good, he was a good person, it seemed that he didn't care about brotherhood. If he doesn't agree now, he definitely won't work, in fact, he didn't disagree, he just had some ideas, so he had to nod in Daddy Gu's sharp gaze.
"His father?" Seeing Gu Chengyi nodded, He had no choice but to stop, sitting listlessly on the stool without saying a word.
Father Gu saw that the second child nodded, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the second brother would be dissatisfied, but the third child was also his son, and he was afraid that for ten taels of silver, there would be a rift between their brothers, alas! Aren't they all poor?
"Damn, you go and get ten taels of silver." Father Gu felt disgusted when he saw Yu Datie looking at his daughter-in-law's gaze, so it was better to send it away early.
At this time, there were many discussions at the courtyard gate, this person couldn't get in, and he could know a rough idea when he heard the sound, some people said that Gu Changqing's family was unlucky, and some people said that the Gu family's baby was not angry, he didn't know the severity, his voice was noisy, and he said everything.
Yu Datie took the ten taels of silver given by Gu's father, and the greed could no longer be hidden, grinning widely, he checked the silver, and bit it with his teeth, to make sure that it was real silver, and happily accepted it into his arms.
Gu Chengyu took a look at the silver when he took it out, and saw that it was two small silver ingots of five taels, this one had been seen in his mother's money storage box, and the two largest silver in it were this, and the others were broken silver and copper plates.
He Shi had his eyes on the silver as early as when Gu's mother took out the silver to Gu's father, and when she saw that the silver was taken by Yu Datie, she hated itchy, this was the first time she had seen a silver ingot, and she usually couldn't even touch the broken silver! Damn Yu Striking Iron!
"Second Brother Gu, since this matter is over, it is getting late, so I will leave. But my temple is small, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my honesty in the future, so I don't have to go to the shop tomorrow. After saying that, he couldn't wait to go out.
Yu Datie walked happily and felt fluctuating, thinking of the ten taels of silver in his arms, his face was red with excitement, in fact, that piece of pig iron was only worth three taels of silver, when he bought the iron, no one hit the more expensive iron, and he regretted it for a long time. It's been a few years, and I can only watch it in the house, who would have thought that I would earn a few taels now. It's a pity, that man ran away, otherwise a big knife would definitely be worth more than a piece of pig iron! No matter what, after getting the silver, he didn't bother to say that kind thing, unplugged the courtyard door, and walked away without looking back.
Father Gu instructed Gu Chengli to close the courtyard door to block the villagers outside, and let everyone go into the house to eat.
Gu's mother arrived at the main room, and told the two daughters-in-law and the eldest girl to serve food and rice, and asked Dazhu and Gu Chengli to help Gu Chengchi come out to eat. As for Gu Wan, she hadn't figured it out yet, so she hid in the room and refused to come out. Gu's mother shouted that she would save money if she didn't eat, but she still told Fang's family to keep the food.
There are many Gu families, and they are generally divided between men and women, not only the tables, but also the dishes and meals are divided by the Lu family. Because Gu Chenglian was coming back today, he specially scrambled three eggs and steamed a few more nests. Lu scooped a bowl of wild vegetable black batter into each bowl, and the three eggs were at the man's table, and the Lu family was an elder, and he also ate at the man's table, and the nest was also divided according to the usual amount. But no one moved their chopsticks today, and there was low air pressure on the dinner table. The adults lost the money and were distressed, but the little babies didn't move the adults, and they didn't dare to move.
Gu Chengyu sat next to Father Gu, looked at the third brother who had been languishing since he came in just now, and sighed. If you lose everything, can you return the money if you don't talk or eat? I hope that after this incident, his third brother will not be so reckless, at least the deposit must be collected first, right? But he was curious, why did the man run away? The third brother didn't catch up? The Gu family has drunk spiritual spring water in the past few years, although it is not much, but it is very effective. Otherwise, his third brother looks so thin, how can he have the strength to strike iron? If it were an ordinary man, he wouldn't have run so fast, could it be that he was calculated?
Just when Gu Chengyu was thinking about it, he saw Gu Chenglian suddenly stand up and take a few steps to the side, looked at Daddy Gu above, and knelt down. Everyone was surprised, what kind of whole thing is this?
"Dad, it's all my fault this time, I have lost so much money in my family, and I'm even more sorry for my father, eldest brother and second brother. I know that the main labor force of our family is the three of you, and in the past few years, I and the fourth and fifth children were still young and couldn't help. Over the years, the food and clothing at home have been earned back by you, who would have thought that this time I also let the family lose your hard-earned money, I will definitely pay it back to you in the future. Gu Chenglian's eyes were red, his eyes swept over the eldest and second, he was really guilty in his heart, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.
"His third uncle, do you know that it is because of your business that the family lost so much silver? Then why didn't you think about it at the beginning, how could anyone be so stupid that a big knife could give sixty taels? I don't know how much the knife is worth, but why don't you even take a deposit? I know what everyone knows, you've been in the shop for more than half a year, and you don't know? "The He family was already distressed about the silver, and when Gu Chenglian mentioned it, he hated it so much, but there was at least half of the credit of the baby's father! and apologize pretendedly, who is rare? Can a kneeling be worth ten taels of silver?
