The old house of the Gu family at the foot of the mountain.

Since Gu Chengzhong was cheated of money, the brick house has been depressed for several days, as if it was covered by dark clouds.

Even Gu Zhiyuan, the most precious great-grandson of the family, was slapped and spanked when he was crying.

Over there in the adobe house.

Gu Lao Er took his wife and children to go out early and return late all day, and even the lunch was sent to the field to eat after Zhao Di was ready, and he was determined to avoid the people on the other side of the brick house.

"Hey~~~ Old man paper, you said the boss this time...... Can you get me into the exam this time? Mrs. Yu sat on the edge of the bed with a sad face, foaming at the mouth with a deflated mouth, and asked in a vague worried trembling voice.

As soon as Old Man Gu heard these unfortunate words, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly leaned over and spat on the ground in front of the bed.

“…… Phew, bah, bah~~~ Bad and bad spirits, the boss will definitely be able to pass the test. ”

Seeing the ugliness of the old wife's mouth, looking at the white saliva on the corners of the old wife's mouth on both sides, and the spit stars splashed on his face.

The attitude towards the old wife is getting worse and worse.

"Don't talk if you can't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person."

“…… Yes, yes, yes, yes, I can't speak, and I hope that the gods and bodhisattvas from all walks of life will be surprised when they hear the myrrh~~~" Yu Pozi folded her hands and hurriedly bowed around.

After the worship.

Mrs. Yu frowned and looked at Old Man Gu, and sighed with a sad face: "Old man paper, what should I do now?" The boss intercepted the expenses in the town, and the travel expenses, board and lodging expenses to go to the county seat for the exam two months later, where does this come from? ”

Old man Gu has also been worried about this problem these days.

The two were silent for a long time.

Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she leaned into Old Man Gu's ear and whispered a few words, Old Man Gu looked a little moved, but quickly shook his head and vetoed.

"Nope."

"Why not? Shocks are all money-losing goods, and one less can also reduce the burden on the second child. Mrs. Yu pursed her mouth and confidently stated her reasons.

"You stupid woman, although the people in the village don't know that the boss was deceived, but the second family lives so close to us, they must have heard it all that day, they all know that we are short of money now, if the second child's child is lost at this juncture, do you think they will not suspect us? When the time comes, they will make a big fuss, tear their faces with us, or go to the county office, aren't you causing trouble for the boss? Old man Gu scolded his wife who had a bad idea in a low voice.

Mrs. Yu, who was so anxious because of the money, calmed down after hearing her husband's scolding.

"So, what about the boss's travel expenses?"

“…… What else can I do? Our family has so many mouths to eat, but we can't sell our fields anymore. The remaining bit of land is the line in Old Man Gu's heart, and he will never sell it again, and this is also the last way for the family to retreat.

"So what's going to be done?"

Old man Gu grabbed Mrs. Yu, and the old couple's heads were tightly hidden in the quilt.

"In this way, you take out the things you picked up, let the boss come back, and use the excuse that I went to Sanhe County to see a doctor, and then give the things to death."

Mrs. Yu's eyes were full of reluctance and deep worry: "Old man paper, didn't you say that if you can't take out that thing, you won't take it out?" ”

Old man Gu said angrily in a low voice: "When will you not take this out?" The only things that are worth money in this family now are people and fields, and people can't move at present, do you really want to sell the last few acres of land in your family? Besides, it's been so many years, and it's going to be fine. ”
