A lucky wife born again from a farm family

She had known for a long time that people from the Zhou family and the Lin family were coming, but she guessed that the two families were here to borrow money. They were afraid that their own money would not be guaranteed, so they hid at home and did not come.

But Xiaoji girl ran to call her, saying that Xiaoyu asked her to come over. Mrs. Chen immediately understood that Xiaoyu girl was not good at scolding people, so she had to do it. Then why should she be polite? Just scold her.

Mrs. Zhou Hu was stunned by the scolding. She looked at the still closed door and asked, "Who is this? Why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"

"Bah, from the Zhou family, you are not ashamed to say this. Who is the one who doesn't understand etiquette?" After scolding, Mrs. Chen said proudly: "Who is I? I am Gu Chen, a new scholar. The father-in-law’s biological aunt. You remember my nephew, Gu Dexing, who also passed the scholar examination this time and got engaged to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, a wealthy family in the county."

"Haha, I'm not bragging. My nephew is really promising. Others didn't get admitted as a scholar from the time they were teenagers until they were buried in the grave. He got the exam in his early twenties. What kind of fate is this? My future niece-in-law is also a filial person and often brings things to my house. Some time ago, she was worried that I would be tired, so she specially gave me a box of bird's nests."

"Do you know what bird's nest is? It is a precious thing that only the royal family can eat..."

With a creak, Gu Jinli opened the door to the wing, smiled at Mrs. Chen and said, "Auntie, please come in first."

Come in and blow again.

Then he said to Sawako who ran over to see the situation: "Tell the elder brother that nothing is wrong here, and leave the affairs in the living room to him."

Since Sawako was here, her eldest brother must have rushed back from Uncle Shang's house, so she would be relieved.

The eldest brother said last night that he was going to Uncle Shang's house this morning and asked Uncle Shang not to lend the money out but to wait for a few days before talking.

After hearing this, Sawako nodded and turned back to the main room.

The men from the Zhou family wanted to run over to take a look, but unfortunately Feng Lian and Er Qing tripped them with their feet and almost fell down.

The two boys from the Zhou family were a little angry. They just heard Mrs. Zhou Hu's voice, were worried about her, and wanted to go over and have a look. It's disgusting that this servant of the Gu family is stumbling upon them like this.

However, Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan had already told them that the wing on the right was a place for entertaining female guests and asked them not to go there.

But they still want to go and see what? Do you see how your mother is scolded?

Zhou Dalang finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, grabbed his two cousins ​​with one hand, and said: "Second brother and third brother, Aunt Gu has a good temper. Second aunt will be fine."

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Lang were very unhappy, but they became happy again when they thought that Zhou Dalang's parents died when he was fleeing from famine, and his marriage was being controlled by his parents. He had to be a bachelor before they married a wife.

Gu Jinan glanced at Zhou Dalang and finally felt that the old Zhou family could still be saved.

…

Not long after, Erqing returned to the wing and nodded to Gu Jinli.

Mrs. Zhou Hu was still angry and said to Mrs. Chen: "Brothers and sisters of the Gu family, my sister-in-law knows that your family is prosperous, but you can't just curse people because you are rich, right?"

"Oh, you're the one looking for scolding!" Who has Mr. Chen been afraid of in a quarrel? He mercilessly exposed the Zhou Hu family: "It's okay to borrow money if you want, but it's not okay if you take the opportunity to make other crooked ideas. You also pretend to be an elder. We can't stand it if you show off."

Mrs. Zhou Hu's face turned red when she was told what she was thinking, but she didn't want to make things too tense. She looked at Ms. Cui and said, "Sister-in-law of the Gu family, I know your family's life is getting better, but..."

"My family's good life is earned through hard work." Ms. Cui was not stupid. She knew that Mrs. Zhou Hu had secretly had shady ideas and was very angry. She did not give Mrs. Zhou Hu a chance to talk nonsense again.

Her two daughters finally settled down to get married, so she slept more peacefully. Was Mr. Zhou Hu trying to make her suffer from insomnia?

Gu Jinli smiled, "Mom, that's right. If you want to show off this kind of momentum, it's much better to live in the countryside with a little splash than to be silent."

Mrs. Zhou Hu was choked by the rebuke. She knew that she had really made Mrs. Cui angry. She didn't dare to say any more hurtful words secretly. Instead, she cried: "Sister-in-law Gu, my brothers and sisters know that I can't speak." , but your family must lend us money, otherwise my family will be dragged to be beheaded by the government."

Zhou Hu had already done the calculation, so she asked Cui to borrow two hundred taels of silver. Fifty taels were used to pay taxes, fifty taels were used to build a new house, fifty taels were used to find a wife and buy land for her two sons, and the remaining Just use it for business.

She didn't believe it. If the Gu family could start a business, her family could do the same. And since the Gu family was so rich, they probably wouldn't care about the two hundred taels of silver. After she borrowed the money and didn't pay it back for ten or eight years, the Gu family would probably forget about it.

It's a pity that she thought too well, Gu Jinli said: "My family can't borrow money."

"Why?!" Mrs. Zhou Hu was anxious and stared at Gu Jinli. You girl, can't you just shut up and stop talking?

Gu Jinli said, no.

"The villagers from all over the country have no money to pay taxes, and you two came here in such a big way, and now you are being stared at by people from countless villages. If my family lends money to you, in less than half a day, the entire Dafeng Village I will be surrounded by people who come to borrow money from my family. Will my family borrow money then?"

He added: "This is the second most important thing. What should I do if those evil people with bad intentions see that my family has lent so much money and gather people to come to the village to commit evil and steal money? Wealth should not be revealed, especially at this time, so My family can't lend you any money, so your trip is in vain."

This hole cannot be opened. Once it is opened, it will cause endless trouble.

"Actually, if you two secretly send someone to deliver a letter to the third grandpa and the third grandma, they can lend you the money quietly. But now that there is such a big commotion, in order to protect ourselves, we can't lend you money even if we want to."

…

In the living room, Gu Jinan said the same thing.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou was stunned and said angrily: "Gu boy, what do you mean, you just don't want to borrow it?"

Gu Jinan nodded: "In order to keep our family safe and not be targeted by folks from all over the country, my family cannot borrow this money."

"You!" Mr. Zhou was extremely angry. He cried and acted, but in the end he got such words. Wasn't it all in vain?

No, this is life-saving money. Mr. Zhou didn't want to return empty-handed, so he looked at the third grandma and said: "Sister-in-law Gu, I know you are a kind-hearted person, you have to help us. We don't want more, just fifty taels per family." OK. It only takes one hundred taels of silver to save the lives of our two families. It’s a great blessing. Maybe if you do this good deed, your family’s fortune will be found.”

When they were fleeing from famine, the third grandfather and the third grandmother were inquiring about Gu Fuya's family, so Mr. Zhou Laolin knew about it.

The third grandma was stunned, thinking of Fuya's family, her eyes turned red, but she shook her head and said, "No, I can't lend you this money."

It was already a big mistake for her to let Zhou and Lin's family in. After Erqing came over to remind her, if she still lent the money out, it would be adding to the mistake.

Fuya is very important, but the Dashan family is also very important to her.

Gu Jinan didn't want his third grandma to be in trouble, so he gave Zhou Lin and his elder brother the right words: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, Lao Lin. Although my family can't lend you money, there are people in Tianfu County who can lend you money."

He told the county town that a new bank would be opened to lend money to farmers to pay taxes.
