Chapter 3: The Inside Story of Retirement
"Hehe, you don't know, the Qi family took 300 yuan when they came to withdraw their relatives, Gu Yunyao was reluctant to withdraw her relatives, but this old woman couldn't walk when she saw the money, she still agreed to this withdrawal, but she was not satisfied with the 300 yuan given by the Qi family, so she asked for 500 yuan! In the end, the money went into her own pocket. ”
In ancient times, there were no cultural and recreational activities, chewing the tongue and chatting was a pastime, especially this kind of insider, which suddenly attracted more people.
"Who did you listen to? And what's going on? Can't! ”
"Why not? This matter was said by the mother-in-law of the Qi family, 500 yuan, but it made her feel distressed! ”
Meng's face became darker and darker, Gu Chuanhai's hands trembled violently, and he looked at Meng in disbelief, never expecting his daughter to be dismissed and this inside story, "Mother, is this all true?" You...... How can you hurt my daughter like this! ”
Suddenly, the door to the upper room opened, and Old Man Gu came out in a dark blue coarse coat.
"It's almost dinner, what are you doing here!" Old Man Gu roared, took out the dry tobacco stick pinned to his waist and pointed at Meng, who suddenly shrank.
walked back to the upper room with his little feet, but Meng seemed to have seen a savior, and his mouth was unforgiving. "You know to shout at me, your four sons have stepped on my face!"
Old man Gu is a good-looking person, but obviously this old man is not a good person, if the people in the village don't talk about it, I'm afraid he will definitely not come out.
After obtaining the memory of the original owner, Gu Yunyao probably has a little understanding of the currency and land in this world, one or two pieces of silver is a thousand yuan, and the purchasing power of one penny is about the same as one dollar in modern society, but the per capita economy and the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times are very different from those in modern times.
Farming has to pay taxes to the imperial court, the tax of the Dacang Dynasty is okay, not low, but not high, ten acres of tax one, that is, one percent of the tax, Gu Chuanhai's father left a full of thirty acres of paddy fields, Gu Chuanhai does a very high income as a bookkeeper, a salary of twenty yuan a day, is the highest income of the Gu family, and the owner has a festival every year, because there is no separation, this money was handed over to the old man Gu in the past.
Gu Chuanhai's house is only an adult and a child, so the old man Gu led his own son to completely plant in vain.
What kind of kindness is this?
Meng Shi muttered, Old Man Gu glanced at Gu Chuanhai, and put on a look of care. "Fourth, you just came back, rest for two days and then go out to find a job, you can eat with your daughter in your own room at night, let your mother serve you two more bowls of rice, your mother has long hair and short knowledge, you don't have the same knowledge as her."
Gu Chuanhai nodded, the anger on his face retreated a little, but it was Gu Yunyao who saw the displeasure in Old Man Gu's eyes sincerely.
As soon as Meng Shi heard that Old Man Gu wanted to give Gu Chuanhai more rice, he was immediately annoyed. "You are a rich man, two more bowls of rice, you said lightly, there is so much food left in the family, the rice is all in the pot, the family, but Ding Kemao just those rice, you have to give more, then you will drink the northwest wind tonight, I can't be hungry children and grandchildren!"
Old Man Gu stomped his feet fiercely, blew his beard and glared, "You get back to the house for me!" The rice is gone, go buy it. ”
Gu Chuanhai sighed softly, and was just about to raise his foot to persuade Old Man Gu not to be angry, when he felt that he had been pulled by someone, and at first glance, it was Gu Yunyao.
Gu Yunyao shook his head at Gu Chuanhai, signaled him not to speak, turned his head and suddenly said to Old Man Gu: "Master, you don't need to give more food, but we have to make it clear today, my grandmother can't spit on my father in vain, my grandmother doesn't know when she went to our house and took away the hare that my father caught, that hare, my father originally planned to clean up in our house, and send it to the upper room to honor you when it was done. ”
The word thief pierced the hearts of Old Man Gu and Meng Shi, this reputation is unbelievable!
When Gu Chuanhai passed the Tongsheng exam and wanted to take the Xiucai exam, the couple moved their minds, Gu Chuanhai, who has a father and no mother, can have such results, why not send his son to study? Their son must be stronger than Gu Chuanhai.
Shinong industry and commerce is such a social class order, but the peasant is the soil bun that gouges in the field and eats from the sky, and the craftsman encyclopedia is easy not to pass on the craft to others, and the merchant is a lowly industry with a low social status.
If the family can provide a showman, or raise a master, wouldn't it be developed?
In case of green smoke from the ancestral tomb of the Gu family, he was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official...... Old Man Gu and Meng Shi can wake up laughing when they dream!
In the imperial examination, reputation is particularly important, and there is a mother who is a thief, which is extremely unfavorable to the third son Gu Chuanshou.
But Old Man Gu coughed twice, put on a superficial look of love, and prevaricated to Gu Yunyao: "Yao girl, you are drowning and dreaming of rabbits, where are the rabbits in this house?" ”
Meng Shi also glared at Gu Yunyao's father and daughter fiercely, "You two are crazy, where did you get the rabbit?" ”
Thinking of the fat rabbit, Meng Shi drooled, all the money in the family was used to support the third son to study, in the past, Gu Chuanhai was at home, and there was an income of 450 wen every month, and the days were more comfortable, but Gu Chuanhai went to the border, and this income was broken.
The old girl is about to reach the age of kissing again, and the dowry has not been saved, and the family has been tightening her belt for the past two years.
If you pay it back, won't it be more sure that you are a thief?
But Gu Yunyao pointed to Meng's clothes: "Master, look, there are rabbit fur on my breast's mouth, and there are two rabbit footprints!" And my grandmother was still shouting just now, scolding my father for being black-hearted, a rabbit is reluctant to give the third uncle, the third uncle is so miserable, a big living person of two hundred pounds, and he said that he had worked hard. ”
"Hahaha!!"
Outside the hospital, there was a burst of laughter.
Old Man Gu's old face turned very red, and he glared at Meng, "You vulgar mother-in-law!" Why are you so shallow-eyed? The fourth filial piety, good things are always given to you, and there is no separation between them, so you can't take them directly! ”
Old Man Gu refused to pull it on his third son, Meng gritted his teeth, Old Man Gu let her carry the black pot. But there is no separation, but it has reduced the name of this thief a lot.
Angry, his heart rose and fell, Meng rushed into the upper kitchen, and in a moment, he threw a huge hair ball from the upper room.
Gu Chuanhai hurriedly caught it, Gu Yunyao looked at it fixedly, this hare has a bright coat, this head is almost seven or eight pounds heavy, and his legs and feet are tied with straw ropes, but he doesn't struggle at all, if he looks closely, he was scared to death.
Well, the probability of a rabbit dying of a big stimulus is very high, but it is also for the Five Organs Temple, so be scared to death.
Old Man Gu also entered the upper room, and the people watching the excitement at the door slowly dispersed.
Gu Chuanhai slipped the rabbit and took Gu Yunyao back to the fourth room, which was closer, Gu Yunyao found that Gu Chuanhai's right leg was slightly lame when he walked, the kind of lame who didn't dare to eat.
"Dad, you hurt your right ankle?" Gu Yunyao said in one word.
"It's not a big deal, when I came back, I walked the mountain road and accidentally broke down." Gu Chuanhai didn't care about the Dao.
But immediately snorted: "Yaoyao." Don't embarrass your grandma in front of so many people in the future. ”
Gu Yunyao looked at Gu Chuanhai and shook his head, what a bun daddy.
"Dad, I don't embarrass grandma, has that grandma ever thought about saving face for you? Did you leave me a name? Gu Yunyao patted her heart.
Gu Chuanhai's face sank a lot, what the child said was right, thinking of the reason why his daughter was divorced, Gu Chuanhai's heart was cold.
Five hundred dollars, my daughter's reputation will be sold!
And he went to the border, the child suffered at home for three years, and he couldn't get angry in front of Gu Yunyao.
