Chapter 57: Won't Leave It Alone
"Daddy!" Gu Xi opened his lower lip flap slightly, and he didn't know what to say. Before she came, she told the owner that it was better for the two of them to come together! But the head of the family has to beg his mother, or he refuses to come to Gu Jia. She knew that she couldn't pull her face to borrow money from her father, but what was the use of begging his mother? Even if his mother has silver, can he give him eighteen taels? Not to mention, his mother won't give it at all.
"Big sister! Dad was right. Shouldn't my brother-in-law come with me for such a big thing as borrowing money? It's going to be dark this day, but if you are a woman, he can rest assured that he walks back to his parents' house alone? Gu Chengyi also agreed with his father's words this time, eighteen taels of silver! Brother-in-law asked the eldest sister to come back and borrow it alone? Is this a low head?
How can there be such a good thing in the world? His eldest sister came back to borrow silver, is this still going to be repaid? But this tax is the tax of the old Wang family, so there is no reason for the Gu family to give the old Wang family silver, right? The Gu family is not only this in-laws, if the two daughters-in-law's mother-in-law come to borrow, will they borrow or not? How can they borrow so much silver?
Gu Chengyu thought about it carefully, the silver must be borrowed, but how to borrow it, the Wang family has to come up with a charter, right? Although, Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention to this bit of silver, and it didn't hurt if it came out. But right now, the Gu family doesn't have much money, and the Gu family has a lot of in-laws, so they will all come to borrow it when the time comes, so what? Besides, in the final analysis, this matter is not the eldest brother-in-law's business alone, does his Wang family want to give up a tael of silver?
"Big sister! When you come out, do your father-in-law and mother-in-law know? "Gu Chengyu plans to ask clearly, I'm afraid that this Wang family really plans to let the Gu family pay for the money!
"Huh? Aware! Your brother-in-law dragged me to beg my in-laws, but they refused, so I came back to borrow money. Actually, what Gu Xi didn't say was that her in-laws directly shouted for her to come back, saying that her mother's family had made a fortune, but she didn't think about her at all, and she couldn't get any benefits. Anyway, my mother-in-law insisted that she had no money, so let her come back and ask for it.
As soon as Gu Chengyu heard this, he knew that the Wang family was afraid that some time ago, their Gu family bought land in Xialing Village, and only then did they think that their family had silver, so they refused to give it out.
"Xizi, you can't call the shots in this matter, you stay at home tonight, I'll send you back early in the morning, take your eldest brother and them, and see what your in-laws say. Although you have split up your family, but the conscription is not your family's business, your in-laws are clearly calculating our family! You must know that our Gu family is not only your in-laws, if our family is happy, if other families come to borrow it, it will be impossible to say if they don't borrow. However, our Gu family doesn't have so much silver! The money from the sale of ginseng bought land, and then he had to build a house and add taxes to his family, and then there was not much left. ”
Father Gu thought about it for a while, but he still felt that he couldn't cheapen the Wang family for nothing, the eldest daughter was from the Wang family, but not from the Gu family. Ming'er is going to go home with Gu Xi, and he will give him the silver, but their Wang family doesn't want to be penny.
"Daddy! The silver ...... "Gu Xi was still a little worried that her father would not take out the silver.
"You don't have to worry about the silver, anyway, the son-in-law won't go to serve the conscription, you just have to live at home with peace of mind. Boss, let your daughter-in-law and Xizi squeeze for a night today, you go and squeeze with the third and fourth children, get up early tomorrow, I will ask Lao Wangtou to send Xiaobao to study in the town, and you and the second child will follow me to send Xizi back. Xizi, when you split up, no one came to call us to go, and when you came back after the year, you didn't want our family to give you a head, so I didn't mention it. But you have to know, no matter what you say, you are also the daughter of our Gu family who went out, and my father will not leave you alone, not to mention that our family has so many brothers. ”
Father Gu knew that since he married the Lu family, the babies in front of him had been separated from him. He also admitted that sometimes he was a little biased, but he didn't leave these babies alone, right? In the past, the family was poor, the eldest and second daughter-in-law, he also gave Zhang Luo, when Gu Xi got married, he didn't ask for much dowry, and he also fell in love with the old Wang family with few brothers, Wang Quanshou was honest, so he married Gu Xi.
"Hey! Father! Gu Chengli responded. He doesn't say anything good, his father is in charge of everything in the family, and he believes that his father won't look at Xizi and ignore it.
"Yes! Eldest sister! We don't care what his Wang family has planned, if they call the boss of the Wang family, we can't take care of it. But you and our Gu family broke bones and tendons, and the girl who went out of the Gu family is not easy to bully. Gu Chengyi also persuaded Gu Xi, he believed that his father's silver would definitely come out, his father just wanted to go to the Wang family to ask for an explanation, and also to show everyone by the way, the Gu family didn't have much silver, don't always worry about his family's silver.
"You say this lightly, how much silver is that? Eighteen taels! Do you want our Gu family to give it again? Then how many families do we have, and they are not enough for everyone to pay, you have given Xizi today, Ming'er, what should you do if your relatives come to the door? ”
Lu Shi saw that Gu Dad and they took this matter over again, they were a little angry, Xiaobao just wanted to do more ways, and the money earned was not enough for this family to build, and the family now lives on Xiaobao, except for Xiaobao to earn silver, there is not a penny, and if it continues like this, the family will be ruined.
"I've got a plan for this. All right! Everyone is tired! Let's all go down and rest! "Daddy Gu thought that after a while, he would have to pass the Lu clan, so he would take everyone away first.
"Aunt his, let's sleep in our house today! Walk! The Fang clan had never had a sense of existence, and when he saw that the matter was over, he stepped forward and pulled Gu Xi back to rest.
Although Gu Xi was still a little worried, she also knew that her father had an idea, so she could only go back with the Fang family to rest, and the rest would have to wait for Ming'er. It's just that I didn't borrow money, and I didn't have the bottom of my heart.
Gu Chengyi and his wife went back to the west wing, He closed the door, and saw that the two sons were playing on the kang, so they walked to the edge of the kang and sat down.
"Daddy? Why do you say that our father is so generous this time, as soon as the eldest sister comes to borrow it, my father will be willing? "He can't figure it out, so much silver, dad is willing to borrow?
"The eldest sister is his daughter, and my father can't watch the eldest brother-in-law go to death, right? If something really happens to the eldest brother-in-law, can his Wang family take care of this orphan and widow? This dad can't just watch. Gu Chengyi washed up just now, and at this moment, he took off his shoes and went directly to the kang.
"You say, if you really lend all the money to the eldest sister, will our family have no money to build a house?" Lu Shi was a little worried that the big brick and tiled house had run away, and he would not be able to live in such a good house in the future.
"You are a woman, what are you bothered about? I can't run away from the house. Gu Chengyi estimated that there should be some silver to build the house, and there should be a little leftover. After all, although I want to build two entrances, these two entrances are different from the two entrances in the town and county, they are not so big, and there are fewer houses.
"Ouch! Anyway, when I think of that bright and big tiled house, who wants to live in a stuffy and hot house? His father, you see, there is still a surplus of our family's silver, what about my mother's eldest brother? His family also has to serve as a servant, and my mother has only one son. ”
