Chapter 708
708 You’re only concerned about the silver!
When they got home, grandma Gu was about to close the door and return to the old mansion. Second lady Meng and the others had already returned to the manor.
Gu Xin ran up to her and held onto grandma Gu’s arm. She chuckled, ” “Grandma! We’re back!”
“Is the shop ready?” grandma Gu asked with the same expression.
Gu Xin nodded, ” grandma, we sold it for two thousand taels of silver yesterday! After deducting the cost, he would earn more than a thousand taels! It’s even on discount! Aren’t we amazing?”
“You’re amazing!”
grandma, ” Gu Xin said happily, ” when I earn enough money, I’m going to buy you a lot of nice clothes and jewelry.
Grandma Gu touched Gu Xin’s head and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. If one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t be able to tell.
Gu Nian was amazed. How could Xiao Xinxin keep smiling and talking so much to the old lady who had been pulling a long face?
niannian, ” grandma Gu suddenly said, ” you and Xinxin go back and wash up first. I have something to say to you and your sisters at dinner tonight.
Gu Nian was stunned. Was he going to talk about the dowry?
Don’t say, don’t say, I’ll ask Grandpa myself! There was no pressure in answering questions with his grandfather!
……
The two sisters went home to boil water, boiled the herbs that grandma Xiao had given them, and took a bath. After the bath, they dried their hair and tied them up simply. It was almost dark.
The two of them locked the door and went to the old house for dinner.
Although the autumn harvest was nearing its end, the old residence still had three meals.
Mrs. Zhang was the one who had steamed the dinner and Grandpa Gu was the one who had cooked the dishes. Grandpa Gu had learned all the dishes that Gu Nian had cooked before. He loved to cook, and cooking and planting flowers were his two biggest hobbies.
While they were eating, Gu Xin and Gu si reported the situation in the prefecture to everyone.
After Zhang Shi heard this, she was stunned,”Huihui, sisi, how much will you get?” I’m afraid that I won’t be able to earn more money in my entire life!”
Her eyes sparkled, and before she could think about how to take her daughter away for her son, uncle Gu immediately shattered her fantasy.
Uncle Gu asked,”wife, why are you asking so clearly?” Anyway, you can’t get your hands on any silver. We’ve agreed before that the daughters will be taken care of by their parents. If you ask clearly, you’ll be so scared that you won’t be able to sleep at night. Why bother! Look at me, I didn’t even ask!”
“Dad, I’m just concerned about the child!”
Uncle Gu said,”how are you concerned about the child?” You’re just concerned about the silver! Wife, listen to me, don’t ask. If I ask, you won’t be able to eat for a few days, and you won’t be able to sleep. Then, you’ll think about taking our daughters ‘money from our mother, or asking for trouble and asking for it from Huihui sisi! Just say one word. Between our mother and Huihui, who will listen to you?”
Zhang Shi silently looked at Gu si, and Gu si silently lowered her head to eat.
Uncle Gu picked up a chicken leg from Mrs. Zhang’s bowl.
Zhang Shi was shocked and wanted to take it back.
Uncle Gu finished his meal in a few bites and said, ” “Wife, this is a lesson! The food in your own bowl is delicious. Don’t look at your daughter’s bowl, or else, your own bowl will be snatched away by others, understand?”
Zhang Shi angrily glared at uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu chuckled and said, ” wife, keep staring. Keep staring. You don’t have to say. Your eyes are quite big when you stare at people. They’re quite pretty. Her big eyes would look better if she practiced more. Yes, yes, that’s it. Continue, stare at me, open your eyes wide! Hahahaha, everyone, look, doesn’t my wife look a little better when she’s glaring at people?”
The Gu family thought,”do you think she won’t die of anger?”
