Mountain People

Vol 4 Chapter 65: The village chief's family, who pays?

When Gu Min's mother heard this, she was shocked and didn't dare to think about it any more. They all witnessed how the Gu Laifu family declined. Thinking of climbing high branches, betrayal of faith, and losing conscience, I will not fall into such a field now.

Although she wants Gu Min to marry a good family, she doesn't want to be like Gu Laifu's family, and she can't say anything about Gu Min's marriage. .

The old village chief has always turned a blind eye to the thoughts of his daughters-in-law. After all, he and his son are the masters of this family. It is useless for a woman to think carefully, but this time The old village chief didn't pretend that he didn't hear it, but said to Gu Min's mother: "Third daughter-in-law, you can ask Min'er sometime, what she said to Shuixiu girl, and, by the way, ask her about her opinion. What do you think about your own marriage, after all, you are sixteen, if you delay it any longer, it will be even more difficult to talk about marriage in the future!"

Gu Min's mother listened to her father-in-law's words and thought that Gu Shuixiu had said something.

After she left, Gu Fugui's daughter-in-law asked tentatively, "Father-in-law, do you mean that Shuixiu wants to match Miner?"

The old village chief shook his head, with a mysterious look on his face, and said slowly: "Shuixiu didn't say anything, but I saw that the two of them could talk, so the third daughter-in-law asked a lot. It is said that the Dong family is not comparable to people like us, if Shui Xiu is really willing to be a matchmaker for Min'er, Min'er will not be sad in the future."

The old village chief looked at Gu Shuixiu coldly for so long, he was very convinced of Gu Shuixiu's ability, and Gu Shuixiu had the ability, if she was willing to be a matchmaker for Gu Min, she would take care of Gu Min a little in the future. It will make Gu Min's life sad, and that's it.

After the old village chief left, Gu Fugui's daughter-in-law thought a little sourly, why did her daughter not catch up with the good time, if her daughter could have Gu Shuixiu as a matchmaker, the day would definitely be Better off.

It's their big house. As long as her husband is firmly seated as the village head, then her son can also take over as the village head, and the cycle goes on...

Gu Shuixiu didn't know, she just went out for a trip, and it would affect the thoughts of so many people.

The two of them walked all the way home, and halfway through the road, Gu Shuixiu saw a figure swaying around the village from a distance, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, that person But the Huang family?"

Gu Mingde glanced at it and nodded, "she is the only one who is still wandering around in the village at this point, maybe Gu Qian didn't cook yet, she came out and wandered around looking for it when she was hungry. Food, you can ask Dong Er and the others to send some food to the pigsty where she lives."

Gu Shuixiu didn't say anything, she nodded her head in agreement.

When the group returned to Gu's house, Dong Yuanzheng and Dong Qinyan had already fallen asleep, and the Zhao family had been waiting for their news in the main room. When they came back, they immediately asked, "Why? Like, what did you say at the end?"

Gu Shuixiu looked at Gu Mingde and said with a chuckle: "Dad, mother asked you something! You talk about it well, I'll go see those two children first."

This matter is more suitable for Gu Mingde, so that Zhao Shi will not feel uncomfortable because of her money.

When she bought the shop for Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu, she had agreed that in addition to honoring her parents, she would not give the Gu family any subsidy in the future. Knowing that she paid two hundred taels for the two younger brothers, I was afraid that she would not agree to anything.

Sure enough, just as Gu Shuixiu entered the bedroom, she heard Zhao's exclamation from outside.

In the main room, Mrs. Zhao was so angry that he almost scolded Gu Mingde, "Gu Mingde, do you have a conscience? Isn't the married daughter not a daughter? With Shuixiu’s money, how are you! You actually asked him to pay two hundred taels for the two younger brothers, are you crazy for wanting a good reputation?”

Gu Mingde didn't intend to refute, but when he heard what Zhao said, he immediately became angry, stood up in anger, and shouted loudly: "If you don't understand anything, just scream. What are you doing? Do you think the neighbors around you can't hear you?"

"I don't understand? You know best! I don't care what you think, since you want to donate more than two hundred taels, you can find a way by yourself, anyway, don't ask Shuixiu to ask for it!" Zhao Shi was so angry that he sat on the stool, because he sat too hard, and the stool made a sound similar to cracking wood.

Gu Mingde was so angry that he pointed at Zhao Shi and stared, gasped for a few breaths, and said, "Did I say that I want the water to show off this silver? I, Gu Mingde, want to be ashamed!"

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he glared at Gu Mingde suspiciously, unable to bear his curiosity, he said awkwardly: "Then tell me what are you going to do with the two hundred taels of silver? That's almost all the money saved, if you take it all out at once, we won't even have any emergency money in the future!"

What Zhao said is the truth. They only have income from selling grain these years, and this grain is still deducted from the chewing of Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu for a year, which has been stored for so many years , they also saved two or three hundred taels. According to Gu Mingde's practice, didn't they return to the original point all at once.

Gu Mingde saw that the Zhao family was no longer angry, so he said angrily: "It's not a matter of a day or two for us to build the road, now tell the village chief about this matter, and I will give it to the elders tomorrow. Niu and Er Niu Flying Pigeon pass a book to let them know about this matter, and then see what the two brothers mean. If they are willing to pay this money, it is the best, if they are not willing to pay this money, then take our coffin originally.

No matter what, they have to mention them and engrave their names, but from now on, they don't even think about taking a grain of rice from Lao Tzu! "Gu Mingde had an angry look on his face, as if Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu disagreed with this matter, it would be unfilial.

Zhao shi silently looked at Gu Mingde, who was wishful thinking, and sighed, but didn't say anything more, as long as Gu Shuixiu's money was not used, as for Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu. , Zhao has no objection, the two of them have also made good money in the county these years.

Gu Daniu has the income of the county government office, about 30 taels a year, plus the shop's profit of more than 100 taels a year, after deducting the money returned to Gu Shuixiu to buy the shop, so many years Come down, saving three or four hundred taels is not a problem.

As for Gu Erniu, he was originally doing business to make money. Although he was close to the Chang family, he couldn't stand the high profits. I'm afraid that he has saved more money than Gu Danieli over the years.
