Chapter 12: Money, Money
Gu Yu greeted him with a panicked face, and before he could speak, Xu Mu scolded him with a slashing face.
When she saw the bowl of rice, her arrogance was even more vigorous.
"Your man is working hard outside, it's better for you! I ate all the food at home! Didn't say to take a look! ”
Gu Zhen lowered his head and stood there with his hands and feet tied. Xu ordered them to run out on the front foot, and the eldest girl was going to follow her, she coaxed her daughter to eat some fish, and tried her best to lull her to sleep, but she didn't have time to eat a mouthful of food.
Holding these words in her heart, Gu Yi didn't say a word, she was already used to it.
"Gollum ......"
Gu Yu's stomach let out a hungry roar.
Xu Ling was closest to her, beware of Xu's mother beating her angrily, he glanced at the unreasonable mother, and said helplessly: "Mother, don't say it, let's eat hot." ”
Mother Xu's face improved, and she hurriedly went to the kitchen to heat the meal, and kept saying: "I think you are too good to her, so you don't get used to her!" ”
"......" Xu Ling was speechless, he just didn't fight Gu Yu in the past few days, in the eyes of Xu's mother, it was too good?
It seems that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a major problem in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Xu Ling tried to reason with Xu's mother, but he couldn't understand it at all.
He gave up wasting his tongue and said directly: "I still expect her to give me a son, how can I have a son if I can't eat enough every day and be beaten?" Mother, don't talk about it, I'll take care of my own daughter-in-law. ”
Mother Xu couldn't listen to the reason, but she could listen to Xu Ling's words.
As soon as she heard that she wanted Gu Zhen to give birth to a grandson, she finally stopped scolding Gu Zhen.
Although the meal was postponed, it made no difference to the Xu family, who did not produce anything. These days, in order to fill his stomach, Xu Lingqiang endured nausea and ate boiled fish for a few days, this is not the boiled fish with all the color and flavor in his previous life, but the boiled fish with wild vegetables, the fish smell is very heavy, and he eats it disgustingly.
But the Xu family ate with relish.
Xu Ling casually took a few bites of food, excused himself to change into clean clothes and left the table.
On the bed in the room, the big girl was sleeping soundly in a nest, and the sun shone in through the broken window and basked her, making her face red like a red apple.
Xu Ling touched her little face, which was very smooth. took off her clothes and put them on the window to block the sun, and the little girl slept more sweetly.
His shirt was not wet, his pants were wet, and he rummaged through the cabinets in the house to find clothes for a long time, but he still couldn't find it.
Xu Ling scratched his head, he had no choice but to find foreign help.
"What, where's my pants?"
Gu Zhen came soon, kneaded his two hands together and said, "You just have this pair of pants, and my mother said that I will change a new one for you when I go back." ”
Xu Ling: "......"
Come on, change your fart clothes.
"I'll go out."
Xu Ling found a shirt and put it on casually, this dress is also tattered, I don't know how many years I have worn it, and it is all raw.
Gu Yu was a little unsure of Xu Ling's attitude, she didn't plan to ask, but she still couldn't hold back.
"Where are you going?"
Xu Ling has treated her for the past two days, and it is indeed different.
didn't beat her, didn't beat the child, and still protected her in front of his mother, so that Gu Zhen had a little hope in his heart, maybe Xu Ling would really turn back.
She wished that Xu Ling was at home every day, just like this.
As soon as Xu Ling said that he was going out, she wondered if he was going to cheat again, gamble and steal.
Xu Ling didn't think about her that much at all. He's almost healed from a head injury, and it's time to make some money.
He has a good water nature, so let's go catch fish first to see if I can get some money, and buy some other food to improve the taste.
Xu Ling said his thoughts, and Gu Yu was silent, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
went out, and Xu's mother and younger siblings asked again.
Xu Ling told the truth, Xu Ping and Xu An were also clamoring to go, but Xu Ling didn't allow it, so they thought about it at home, and they didn't want to go out to do bad things recently.
After arranging the house, Xu Ling walked out of the house.
When he went out this morning, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to observe the scenery outside, but now he wandered around the village and found that the scenery of Lotus Bay was quite good.
Looking to the south of the river, you can see the continuous mountains, as if hidden in the fog, vague and unreal, as the saying goes, looking at the mountain to run a dead horse, that mountain is out of reach for Xu Ling.
He didn't remember going.
Lianhuawanzi is very close to several nearby villages, and every household lives very compactly, the main grain grown here is rice, and there are also some places where it is inconvenient to get water to grow wheat, and there are people working in the crop fields.
Xu Ling didn't meet anyone who greeted him, except for a few angry bastards.
Lotus Bay is so big, it is definitely impossible to have only Xu Ling as a second bastard, and it didn't take long for Xu Ling to meet the pigs and eggs in the village wandering around on the road.
As soon as he saw Xu Ling, the pig egg thought that a fly would see that, and hurriedly ran over.
"Xu Ling! Where are you going? ”
"To the town? How about taking me? ”
Pig Dan is short and very obscene, he has always been very envious of Xu Ling's shit luck to marry Gu Yuan, and he felt that it was inappropriate for Xu Ling to beat his daughter-in-law every day, so he gave advice to the original owner.
However, the original owner felt that it was the pig egg who had a bad idea of Gu Er, so he was angry and beat the pig egg, and when he went home, he beat Gu Zhen again, for fear that she would go out of the wall and put a hat on herself.
When Xu Ling flipped through the relevant memories in his mind, he really wanted to beat Xu Ling, a scumbag.
She couldn't bear it, and suddenly slapped herself.
But the pig eggs are frightened.
"What's wrong with you? What are you doing with yourself? ”
Xu Ling said seriously: "I promised my father-in-law, and if I go to gamble again, I will let him break my legs, I am reminding myself." ”
"Oh, just our brothers, as long as I don't tell him, how can he know!"
Zhu Dan also knew that Gu Litian had a good temper, but in the past two years, it was like someone owing him ten taels of silver and not paying it back, pulling a donkey face every day.
Xu Ling still rejected the pig egg, "I'm not going, you have to go yourself." ”
Zhu Dan was a little pity, and said stupidly: "If you don't go, then I won't go either, I don't have any money." ”
As he spoke, he became excited again, "If you don't gamble, then what are you doing when you come out in the middle of the day?" ”
Don't you want to take advantage of other people's going out to work, to steal chickens and dogs? He can do this together!
Xu Ling had a black line on his face, and went directly to the river with the pig eggs, just as he also needed a helper.
……
Half an hour later, Xu Ling continued to rise and fall in the river like a white stripe in the waves, he caught a fish and threw it on the shore, the pig's eggs were strung with grass stems on the shore, and a branch was nailed into the mud, and the fish were tied up like dogs, and they could swim in the water.
Xu Ling was afraid that the fish would die, so Pig Dan came up with such a good idea.
"Is that enough?" Xu Ling swam out of the river again, only to feel that his legs were about to cramp, he was out of breath, his face was pale, and he threw a grass carp ashore.
The pig eggs were counted for a long time, and Xu Ling saw that there were thirteen fish, so he simply called it a day.
