Chapter 708
My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!
708 Youâre 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 Guâs arm. She chuckled, â âGrandma! Weâre back!â
âIs the shop ready?â grandma Gu asked with the same expression.
Gu Xin nodded, â grandma, we sold it for two thousand taels of silver yesterday! After deducting the cost, he would earn more than a thousand taels! Itâs even on discount! Arenât we amazing?â
âYouâre amazing!â
grandma, â Gu Xin said happily, â when I earn enough money, Iâm going to buy you a lot of nice clothes and jewelry.
Grandma Gu touched Gu Xinâs head and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. If one didnât look closely, one wouldnât 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, â grandma Gu suddenly said, â 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?
Donât say, donât say, Iâll 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,âHuihui, sisi, how much will you get?â Iâm afraid that I wonât be able to earn more money in my entire life!â
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,âwife, why are you asking so clearly?â Anyway, you canât get your hands on any silver. Weâve agreed before that the daughters will be taken care of by their parents. If you ask clearly, youâll be so scared that you wonât be able to sleep at night. Why bother! Look at me, I didnât even ask!â
âDad, Iâm just concerned about the child!â
Uncle Gu said,âhow are you concerned about the child?â Youâre just concerned about the silver! Wife, listen to me, donât ask. If I ask, you wonât be able to eat for a few days, and you wonât be able to sleep. Then, youâll think about taking our daughters âmoney 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?â
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. Zhangâs bowl.
Zhang Shi was shocked and wanted to take it back.
Uncle Gu finished his meal in a few bites and said, â âWife, this is a lesson! The food in your own bowl is delicious. Donât look at your daughterâs bowl, or else, your own bowl will be snatched away by others, understand?â
Zhang Shi angrily glared at uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu chuckled and said, â wife, keep staring. Keep staring. You donât have to say. Your eyes are quite big when you stare at people. Theyâre quite pretty. Her big eyes would look better if she practiced more. Yes, yes, thatâs it. Continue, stare at me, open your eyes wide! Hahahaha, everyone, look, doesnât my wife look a little better when sheâs glaring at people?â
The Gu family thought,âdo you think she wonât die of anger?â
