Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 14 Selling Someone
Qian Guangzong is a cloth shopkeeper An unscrupulous businessman, he has long planned how to sell the Gu Dashan family.
But he asked Auntie Gu several times to persuade Lady Gu to sell the Gu Dashan family, but Madam Gu hesitated and refused.
For Madam Gu, it was better to sell the family of Gu Dashan under her nose.As a stepmother, there was nothing more convenient than selling her ex-partner's child.
And if Gu Dashan's family was left behind, they could still work for his family, akin to buying a family maid. If she sold it, the family job would fall on her own son Madam Gu reluctantly, so she had not sold the Gu Dashan family for many years.
But this time it's different.
Aunt Gu said: "Mother, Gu Dashan's family has the support of the village chief because of the water source. Today, the village chief spoke for their families in front of the entire village and beat you in the face. Third uncle and third aunt also helped Gu. Dashan's family, and Xiaoyu's girl, become increasingly violent after surviving a disaster. They have been fighting us everywhere in the past two days, and with the support of the village chief, after such a long time, the Gu Dashan family will not be able to ride our heads? Auntie Gu
looking around and seeing Mr. Gu lying on a mat not far from there, he lowered his voice and said: "Mother, you are a stepmother, you are a stepmother, no matter how good you are for the Dashan Gu family, you will not be able to raise them well, why don't you sell them as soon as possible, we You can also exchange food to survive the next famine
. that can be found less and less, and after walking for half a month, they may not even find leaves, grasses and roots, the family should get ready early.
Gu Xiaomei chimed in: "Mother, sister is right. Over the years, we have treated the Gu Dashan family badly. They must hate us. This time they got lucky and found water for the village. Now the village helps them. With the support of the village chief and the villagers, they might not know how to repay us, so selling it early would save you trouble. You don't have to worry about no one working after selling his family, you can let that third family brother do it.
Gu Youfu was Madam Gu's second son, but Lady Gu did not like this son who was exactly like Master Gu. Among the three biological sons, Gu Youfu most often struck and scolded, making Gu Youfu's family surpass Gu Dashan's family Madam Gu's family completely unconcerned with her work.
Old Madam Gu's slender eyes were half closed, thinking of Aunt Gu and Gu Xiaomei's words.
After a while, he looked at Mr. Gu who was still napping, and said to Aunt Gu: "Their family is in a good time right now, and this matter should be settled slowly. You and Guangzong should go and ask first, and if there is a suitable family, go back and let me know. I'm." I'm."
This is a deal to sell the Gu Dashan family.
Aunt Gu and Qian Guangzong were so happy that they were so in agreement.What they had been thinking for so long had finally come true.
Aunt Gu said: "Don't worry, mother, I'll ask Guangzong to inquire these few days, and I'll come back and tell mom soon if I have news." In fact,
the couple had inquired about selling people for food for money, and they even talked to some wealthy households.The waiter called, so he didn't have to worry about finding a buyer.
Gu Xiaomei was happy to hear that, that annoying family would eventually be sold.
Madam Zheng persuaded Gu Chengzhi not far away, and he did not know what was going on. Brother Zhi's arms hurt all the time, and he cried continuously throughout the day, which upset him. When she heard Madam Gu agreed to sell the Gu Dashan family, I felt better.
Qian Lier was even happier. He had long since seen that Gu Jinxiu was unsightly. At the beginning of last year, the son of the shopkeeper in the city met Gu Jinxiu and fell in love with him. He knew their relationship with Gu Jinxiu's family So they came to their house to inquire about Gu Jinxiu's situation, and asked their family to help them reconcile.
She was furious at the time, the son of a restaurant shopkeeper in town, it was one of her favorite future husband-in-laws, but in the end she fell in love with the woman ****** that's Gu Jinxiu.
Fortunately, in the end, Auntie Gu tried to persuade the woman in charge of the restaurant in the city to give up the idea of marrying Gu Jinxiu as her daughter-in-law, so to no avail.
Gu Dashan's family didn't know of this incident from start to finish, but Qian Lier was jealous, so she hated Gu Jinxiu.
After hearing that Madam Gu had agreed to sell the Dashan Gu family, she secretly said to Qian Guangzong and Aunt Gu: "Father and mother, Gu Jinxiu looks good, she said, You can give Gu Jinxiu to those servants, just ask the servants to be in the rich household Say a few kind words in front of his master, and give us more food."
Qian Lier not only sold the Gu Dashan family, but also destroyed Gu Jinxiu.
In the end, he added an uncomfortable sentence: "You can't give Gu Jinxiu to the rich man, lest that cruel son will be charmed by the man, and persuaded the rich man to come to settle the account with us, and give it to the servant who had a wife." Let her be a concubine to the servants, and suffer for the rest of her life!"
Among the servants he knew, two or three were already quite old, but the colors were good.
...
After the Gu Dashan family exchanged water for food, they repaid their food debt, and gave Dr.Du another bowl of food as a thank you for Gu Jinli's recovery.
Gu Jinli brought Gu Jinxiu and Big Brother Cheng to the resting place at the third grandmother's house after Aunt Gu and the three of them came to check on the items. On the way, they discussed with the third grandmother's family, and they would eat and sleep with their families in the future.
The third grandmother was very happy and had been looking forward to their arrival.
Gu Dashan, who insisted on resting with Gu's old family for begging for food and Cheng Geer and Cui were beaten up, this time did not mind.
The third grandmother had already cooked the grits and put them in a small wooden basin.Seeing the three Gu Jinli, she shouted happily: "Little fish, bring some wooden bowls for the third grandmother. Come serve porridge to drink." Gu Jinli replied
, Releasing the ties of the wooden bowl tied with the straw rope, wiping it several times, and giving it to the third grandmother, he looked at the grits with a shallow bottom of the basin, and said: "It's grits, it's good, good for humans."
Corn is millet, a type of coarse grain.
The third granny smiled happily, filled half a bowl for each of the three brothers, and urged them: "Eat fast, you are all hungry and skinny."
Looking at the children who were thin like skeletons, the third grandmother felt so depressed that she wanted to cry.
Gu Jinli stuffed his own bowl into the third grandmother's hand, and said, "The third grandmother will also eat."
He took out a wooden bowl and filled the shallow bottom of the bowl, and finished it in less than two mouthfuls, but he smiled very complacently: "The rest will be handed over to the third grandfather, my father, he said, my mother, and brother to eat."
Tonight there was no organization to search for food in the village, but the third grandfather could not stay silent, and he followed Gu Dashan and his son, father and son Luo to look for food nearby, and he followed Gu Dashan and his son, not back.
Gu Jinli was afraid that the third granny would persuade him to drink the grits again, so he picked up a wooden spoon and went to a nearby pot to stir the food inside.
This is the second staple of their family tonight. It is an omnivorous food boiled with soybeans mixed with grass roots and leaves. Although they exchange water for food, there is a long way to get out of hunger, and food must be stored .
The third granny held the grits filled by Gu Jinli, her eyes were red, this was the boy's wish, she took the wooden bowl and ate it in a big mouthful.
Seeing that he had already eaten, Gu Jinxiu and Brother Cheng ate from the mouth of the bowl.
When the various foods in the pot were cooked, the third grandfather and father and son Luo also returned.Gu Dashan and Gu Jin'an were not there, either, and they went to deliver the food they found to the old Gu family.
A quarter of an hour later, they brought Cui Shi.Gu Jinli looked at Cui Shi and felt relieved after confirming that he had not been beaten up today.
Everyone was digging in the water all night last night, and just alternating breaks for a period of time. Now they were so tired that they almost fainted. After dinner with the three grandparents, the whole family began to rest and sleep well . Continue on the road early in the morning.
On the way, Qian Guangzong and his wife were very busy, always making use of the break time to talk to the wealthy housekeeper.
