Chapter 230: Asking for Money
Yin sat next to Su Xiaomu, and when he heard her say this, he also looked at the three children, although he was talking to her, the speed of holding meat in his hand did not slow.
"Born in such a family, and a girl, doesn't there be nothing to eat, don't talk about her, wasn't our family like that a few years ago?"
Yin's didn't feel much pain for the child, and she herself had two daughters who couldn't take care of it.
After eating a meal of Li's distressed daughter, Su Xiaomu rubbed his stomach contentedly and continued to chat with his two sisters-in-law.
Gu Shui beckoned his three daughters to play with a few nieces and nephews, and he suddenly wiped his tears and began to complain to the Li family in tears.
"Mother, my daughter lied to you, my head of the house didn't treat me as well as I said, he still looked down on the daughter I gave birth to, saying that I was a ...... who couldn't give birth to a son"
Gu Shui was aggrieved, Li Shi was really distressed when she saw her, she had red eyes, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Shui's tears, coaxing and comforting: "Hurry up and don't cry, he treats you badly, you still have your brother and father, let's go back with you in two days, so that he knows that there is someone in your mother's family who is supporting you." ”
The Li family was thinking in their hearts, Gu Shui had been married to that family for so many years, and their Gu family had never come to see it, so they just took this opportunity to recognize the door and support Gu Shui.
"No!" Gu Shui immediately shook his head as soon as Li's words fell, "You don't have to go back with me, if my mother really wants to help me, lend me some silver, didn't my family make a lot of money selling food in the city a few days ago?" Now that everyone is living so well, it must not be a problem to give me some evenly. ”
Gu Shui looked at the new clothes that Li was wearing, she could now casually raise her sleeves, and she could still smell the smell of meat on her own body.
In the past, this kind of meat smell could only be smelled during the Chinese New Year, but she never had a chance to eat it.
He could not give birth to a son, and he had three daughters as a burden.
Gu Shui hid the gloom in her eyes and her jealousy of the Gu family, she stretched out her hand to pull Li's arm, and began to beg her.
"I don't need too much, my mother just needs to give me some so that I can straighten my back at home."
She lived such a miserable life, except that she couldn't give birth to a son, she had no money.
If she could take out some money to make up for him when Xianggong gambled, then Xianggong would not beat and scold her at every turn.
Gu Shui begged Li with tears in her eyes, she was actually ready to collect money.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she heard that she wanted money, Li's face was full of distress and immediately put it away, and even directly removed Gu Shui's hand that was pulling her arm, and her face changed with vigilance in an instant.
"Did your mother-in-law ask you to ask for money? Their big family can't support themselves without any ability, and they still want to call you, a woman with a belly, to hang their faces? ”
The Li family was a little angry at this time, that Zhou family, the poor one Buddha ascended to heaven and the second Buddha was born, and getting married didn't help their Gu family at all.
Now that their Gu family is up, his Zhou family has come to fight the autumn wind, it is really because his Gu family is stupid and has a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Li's gaze on Gu Shui was not as pitiful as just now, and even faintly vigilant.
"All the money in the family is reserved for your third brother to study, no one can think about it, don't say that your mother doesn't love you, nothing in our Gu family can be as important as your third brother's study."
The Li family was reluctant to give the money they had saved to Gu Shui to supplement the Zhou family, if it was said that Gu Shui could spend some money on herself, or let her three granddaughters make up for it, it was not impossible for the Li family to take out some of their private money.
But I just know that this money is a meat bun and a dog and will never return, so who wants to?
Li's refusal was something Gu Shui didn't expect at all, as soon as she heard that she didn't want to pay a penny, the tears were like water that had been unloaded from the sluice, falling from her eyes.
Gu Shui cried while protecting his stomach and complained to the Li family: "Why is there only a third brother in the eyes of my father and mother?" Are you and Daddy so ruthless that you don't care about my life or death? When I was at home before, I didn't contribute to the family, and I also saved a lot for the third brother when he was shackled. ”
Gu Shui has been doing farm work at home with the Li family since she was a child, and after the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law married in, she also followed them to the city to sell eggs.
Gu Shui cried sadly, and his eyes were swollen and ugly like walnuts.
Seeing her like this, Li Shi listened to her accusations, and naturally there were many complications and embarrassments in his heart.
She and Lao Gu are the most popular among the children, Gu Jingcheng is right.
That's because Gu Jingcheng has the ability and talent for reading.
The money they spent on him, the time they spent on him, was only rewarded after he passed the imperial examination.
And Gu Jingcheng is indeed competitive, he has not let them be parents since he was a child, and he has spent other efforts on him.
And the daughter in front of her, who still has a child in her belly, is the one who really makes Li and Old Man Gu sad.
But when she was pregnant in October, no matter which child she was a piece of meat that fell from her, even if Li was eccentric, she was not so ruthless.
She let out a long sigh and stretched out her hand, which was already a little loose, and gently stroked Gu Shui's rising belly.
"The family's money has to be left for your third brother to study, my father and mother are not worried about you, but I really can't give you any other money, when I leave, I will let your sisters-in-law prepare more food for you, you take it back, and make up for the children, but you can't let them be as weak as they are now."
Gu Shui's belly is round to the touch, but I am afraid that she is a daughter again.
couldn't give birth to a son for four in a row, but I was afraid that she would still have a boil in the Zhou family.
Li's distressed gaze lingered on Gu Shui, and there was a lot of helplessness in his heart.
Gu Shui was not satisfied with just bringing something to eat.
She was almost unable to survive in the Zhou family, and if she couldn't bring some money back this time so that they could see her usefulness, it would be a matter of time before she was abandoned.
Gu Shui didn't want to be kicked out of the Zhou family with his children, so he could only pin all his hopes on the family.
"Mother, you can give me some money, but some silver taels will not affect the third brother's study, and besides, there is still some time before the spring festival, and the family is not unable to earn new ones."
She doesn't need more, a dozen taels or seven or eight taels can be.
And Gu Shuike knew that a person like Gu Jingcheng who could read would also have to pay for the imperial examination in the township.
His life will not be wronged, and she only needs to share a little bit of him.
