My dear nephew, it’s the right time to yell.
Gu Wenxuan was just thinking that he was only nineteen, so he was not the youngest, when he heard the little Chang Suo in his arms shouting excitedly.
His father was walking this way from the three-way intersection on the north side.
Without saying a word, Gu Wenxuan left his eldest brother behind and hurriedly greeted his eldest nephew in his arms, making Gu Erlang shake his head in joy.
"Dad, why did you come back from this way?" Fortunately, he thought that when his father came home, he must come back from the back door of the old courtyard at the entrance of the village, but the direction was reversed. "Did you send my uncle home?"
"No, if you don't agree to let them come to our house for dinner, you and your grandpa have just been sent home," Gu Erzhu took the eldest grandson who rushed towards him.
"Dad."
Gu Erzhu nodded to his eldest son. He was not surprised that his eldest son had arrived home early today. "Did things go smoothly?"
"It should be okay." Gu Erlang raised his chin towards Gu Wenxuan, "I didn't see him saying a word when I came back, so it shouldn't be much worse."
Gu Wenxuan smiled and shook his head, "It's not a big deal. My eldest brother has taken care of it for me in town. I just showed up as a couple."
Gu Erzhu looked at his old son's expression worriedly, "You're not in trouble, are you?"
"No. The one who led the way was my uncle and brother, Uncle Lin. They are a nice, serious family. They didn't say anything unpleasant at all, and they were always polite."
"That's good." Gu Erzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Here, your uncle will also punish her. Forget it, let's go home first so that your mother can listen."
On the dinner table.
In front of his two daughters-in-law, Gu Erzhu announced that his uncle, Patriarch Gu, had given the punishment results.
Xiaotian has been sent back to her parents' home. She has a deadline of five days to collect six taels of silver to apologize to Aunt Gu. Otherwise, she will not have to return to her husband's house after five days.
Gu Dalang's wife has been doing housework at home for a month. She will decide whether she can take her children to the county town to accompany Dalang depending on whether she has made any corrections during this month.
In addition, Gu Yangwen copied the family rules a hundred times and was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a night.
Where is Gu Dalang?
Not punished?
After Gu Erzhu finished speaking, he glanced around, and his eyes fell on the two sons sitting one on the left and one on the right. He paused, "What do you mean, uncle? It's the son's fault if he doesn't teach his father. It's also the man's fault if his wife doesn't teach him well, and it's also the father's fault. Copy the clan rules a hundred times and kneel in the ancestral hall all night.
Originally, your grandpa also had to kneel at the ancestral hall all night. He was going to kneel all night, so the three of us didn’t have to kneel down to accompany him.
So dad begged for mercy on your behalf, saying that you are now preparing for the college entrance exam, and he didn’t want you to be distracted. Instead, your uncle will wait until the end of the year before your grandpa kneels again. ”
Gu Wenxuan tried his best to hold back his laughter, "If we can collect six taels of silver within the five-day deadline, is it designated that the Tian family will pay for it, or something like that? Did Grandpa make it clear?"
Gu Erzhu gave his old son a look of contempt, "Can't you see that your uncle wants to borrow these six taels of silver to teach your uncle a lesson?
He said that for the next few months, your third uncle and I, as well as our family, are not allowed to lend your uncle a penny.
After collecting enough money to hand it over to him, your eldest grandma and your grandma will take their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to your aunt's house.
Let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law apologize to your eldest uncle and aunt, do you understand?
The first is to hand over the money to him, the second is to apologize to your eldest uncle, and the third is to let your eldest uncle complain again about someone from her natal family trying.
Instead of raising six taels of silver to send her back to her parents' home within five days and training her honestly, you still act like her parents are proud of her, how can only two little dogs provide the money?
In the end, it didn't fall on your uncle. Your uncle is still doing good for her and her husband at this moment, and wants her and her husband to see who is trustworthy. ”
Ms. Liu shook her head in disapproval, "It's weird if you can see clearly.
With my mother here and four nephews, Shiro's wife is still her niece. The Tian family is still afraid that the sister-in-law will not be able to pay back the money later and the uncle will be disappointed.
Besides, it's six taels of silver, not sixty taels. I don't believe that my sister-in-law doesn't have any private money, not ten taels, but at least eight taels. ”
"It's not that much. It can be calculated. Dalang didn't lose money when he loaned money before, but his wife did.
When the family was separated, Dalang had ten taels of silver to compensate his wife, and her daughter-in-law came back from her parents' home.
This sum of money is considered gone, and it is impossible for the elder man’s wife to come up with it.
Counting the time when the family was separated, our parents should have almost forty or fifty taels of silver hidden in their hands.
Our mother is different from our father. No matter how much our father thinks about how to supplement Da Lang privately, given my mother's temperament, he will not be beaten to death for more than twenty taels of silver.
Let’s go back and count Dalang from the time he participated in the county trial in February this year.
Not to mention other books and other things, the three seals cost 600 liters, plus the guarantee of 5 taels, so here is almost 6 taels of silver.
In addition, when the two of them went to the mansion for the test, they should have brought about thirty or forty silver, so they spent forty or fifty taels of silver here.
Our father only provides twenty taels of supplement, and the remaining twenty or thirty taels have to be collected by the boss and his wife, so the boss and his wife really have no money. ”
Mrs. Liu calculated silently.
The elder man's wife can only get in but not get out.
If the boss and his wife had collected twenty or thirty taels of silver for Da Lang to take the scientific examination, it seems that the two of them had been coaxed by Da Lang into having no money left.
"In fact, it's easy to see. If you think about how Sanlang's wife and Dalang's wife quarreled, is it possible that Sanlang really had to pay 400 wages every month?"
Um?
Zhou Banxia was refreshed.
Is it possible that there is another explanation here?
Not only her, but after hearing what Gu Erzhu said, Ma Shan also forgot to pick up the food and looked at her father-in-law eagerly, wishing that he would give him an answer soon.
Gu Erzhu saw that as soon as he finished speaking, the whole family, including the eldest grandson and Xiao Changsuo, stopped eating egg custard, and their big eyes stared at him.
"Do you understand?"
"The third aunt said that the eldest grandma had been defrauded of all her belongings. The eldest grandma came to our house and said that she couldn't even eat meat, so she asked her to give her a lot of lard residue.
Brother Dunzi from the third aunt's family said that the aunt had deceived all the lard residue that the eldest grandmother had brought home, and the aunt had taken it to the city. His mother was so angry that she cried. ”
Gu Erzhu almost choked.
"Grandpa, I also know that grandma came to our house and wanted to get some fragrant soap. I said it was not for food, and grandma still stared at me like this——"
"You can't learn, honey." Gu Wenxuan quickly stopped Xiao Changsuo from rolling his eyes like Oda, "My eldest nephew, we won't learn from the bad ones."
Little Changsuo chuckled.
"How do you know that grandma wants to eat?" Ms. Liu was very curious, "Where did grandma want to get the fragrant soap?"
"In the house." Xiao Changsuo pointed in the direction of the east wing, "Auntie gave me the little rabbit that I washed my hands with, and put it in the small hall, and put it on the table with the fruit box..."
Yes.
I made some small animal snacks a few years ago and gave them to a few children to play with in February.
Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other.
"It's amazing, how long has it been? Dad, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, little Changsuo is so smart, shouldn't we enlighten him as soon as possible?" (End of Chapter)
