Chapter 22

Chen looked at her with a gloomy face.

Wan Shi immediately stood up like a quail, stood up and shouted weakly, "Mother." ”

Chen Shi looked at Wan Shi and asked sternly, "Did you hear it just now?" ”

Wan Shi was not a person who could hold things back, but when he heard Chen's question, he said in a hurry: "Mother, you are also very eccentric now."

I just heard that you gave silver and cloth to your four brothers and sisters, all of them are daughters-in-law, why do you have four brothers and sisters, but we don't have them?"

Chen let Wan finish speaking, and then his eyes swept to the Jiang family and the Peng family who seemed to be doing housework in the courtyard, but were actually listening with their ears pricked up, and then looked at the three cows and Gu Yuan in the family, and called Gu Yan and the old man Gu Dayong as well, "You all come to the hall for a while." ”

After speaking, Chen turned to her and Gu Laohan's room.

Gu Daniu whispered in Wan's ear: "Daughter-in-law, look, I said that you are stupid and you still don't admit it, you have made your mother angry again!"

Wan Shi listened to the schadenfreude in Gu Daniu's tone, and almost wanted to beat this dog man to death.

After a while, Chen came out of the house with a small locked box and a bundle of cloth.

After placing the little box on the table in the hall, she stomped the bundle of cloth on the table as well.

Then, she took the key and opened the lock directly on the small box.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the white silver ingots inside blinded everyone's eyes.

Not to mention his sons and daughters-in-law, even Gu Laohan was startled, and after taking a puff of dry smoke to suppress the shock, he asked, "Old woman, where did our family get so much money?"

If we find someone else's, we have to find a way to return it to others, and they may be in a hurry if they lose such a large sum of money!"

Chen Shi said with a calm face: "This is the money that Wanya and Brother Yuan went up the mountain to dig up a ginseng yesterday and sold it!"

The ginseng sold for a total of one hundred and fifty taels!"

"Damn! one hundred and fifty taels!" Wan exclaimed in fright, and a butt slipped off the bench and fell to the ground.

Gu Daniu also opened his mouth wide in shock, "Mother, our family is going to send it!"

Although the rest of the Gu family was not so exaggerated, they all opened their mouths slightly, they all knew that ginseng was valuable, but they didn't know ginseng, let alone that ginseng could be worth so much!

Chen glanced at his family, who were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and then told him about buying wine and food.

Gu Dayong didn't speak, but Wan Shi patted his ass excitedly and stood up, looking at Chen with a pair of small eyes shining, "Mother, our family has bought so much food!"

Can we eat with an open stomach again?"

After speaking, she looked at Gu Yuan and Su Wan again, "Brother Yuan, you said that you are too, those yellow soups should not be eaten or drunk, why are you buying so much, isn't this a waste of silver?"

It's good to buy more white flour rice, and our family can eat a few more steamed white rice. ”

"Wanya, you are really, this Yuan brother is a scholar, I don't know how valuable firewood and rice are, why don't you persuade him?" Wan Shi counted Gu Yuan and Su Wandao with a painful face, as if the wine was bought with the money she used to cut the meat.

Chen glanced at Wan, and Wanshi immediately shrunk his neck like a quail?

Chen continued: "We have a little food in our family now, but as long as we can find wild vegetables to fill our stomachs, no one is allowed to fight the idea of storing food!"

When we went to the town today, I heard that the rain last night was drenched in this area near our village, and we didn't see any rain in other places.

The refugees outside the city gates were starving.

Now our corn is laying down the seeds, but if it doesn't rain again this day, then whether there will be a harvest is still a matter of words.

That food is kept to save your life!"

Gu Dayong took the last puff of dry tobacco, glanced at his son and daughter-in-law and said: "Your mother is right, now the price of grain is so high, if it continues to be so dry, I am afraid that even if there is money, I will not be able to buy food, and that little food must be kept to save my life, and no one should make up my mind!"

Chen's eyes fell sharply on the Wan, Jiang, and Peng families, "You have been in the house for so many years, have I ever received your money for your men to work outside?"

Now this money is earned by Wanya and the fourth child, I give them the money, what else do you have to say?"

Chen's words are already obvious, if they still have something to say, then everyone has to pay the money!
