The night before the feast, the family had a good time.
In the evening, the Gu family ate meat again. In the words of Erni and Chunni, this year our family celebrated many festivals. For them, they could only eat meat during the New Year and other major festivals.
For Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu, compared to the lotus root and pork ribs soup, the bag of copper coins that Gu Boxi brought out was more worthy of their happiness.
A bag of copper coins was opened, dripping and clanging, and all the adults looked at the money in unison. Every adult was muttering and sighing in their hearts. Compared with the money Gu Liang made last time, more people thought that Gu Liang was just playing around and making a little money by luck. But this time, with the addition of Gu Boxi, it means that the herb-picking business can continue, and it can be used as a livelihood, and there will be income every day.
Gu Boxi brought back 400 coins at a time, and the two of them only spent a few days picking herbs, which means that each person can earn dozens of coins a day. This salary is a stable and huge sum of money for the Gu family. You know, the coolies working at the docks in the town can only earn 20 coins a day. And this dozens of coins a day is calculated based on Gu Liang and Gu Boxi. If Gu Liang, the child, is removed, this adult alone will be...
Every adult took a breath of cold air. If this continues, the Gu family will be very rich in two years. Maybe they can become a small landlord in the future.
Gu Liang's second aunt, Li, was thinking very fast at this time. She looked around, sometimes at Gu Liang, sometimes at Gu Lao Han. Finally, she mustered up the courage to tentatively say, "Dad, you see that your eldest nephew and third brother are making so much money by collecting herbs in the mountains. Why not let your second son go with them? This way, we can earn more money with one more person. By the end of the year, we can buy a cow, and we won't have to work so hard next spring. Don't you think so, Dad?"
Li's calculations were crackling, but Gu Liang saw through them. He had been working for so many years, so he naturally knew the real intentions of others' words.
Li only asked Lao Han for this kind of thing because he was one of the two people who could decide the big things in this family. Lao Han was different from Old Lady Gu. He usually had a good attitude towards Li, and he didn't know Li's true appearance like Old Lady Gu. After Li found the person who could help him accurately, she used "the second son" and "our family" to bring him into a close relationship with Gu Lao Han, making Gu Lao Han feel that they were all family members, and it was normal for him to let his son make money together. Finally, she proposed Gu Lao Han's greatest wish, as a big pie, so that he would think that he was helping himself if he helped, and he had to agree.
Gu Liang naturally couldn't agree to Li. He and his third uncle had agreed that half of the money would be given to him. It would be difficult to deal with the second uncle when he came. Even if the second uncle agreed to divide it this way, he would definitely tell his wife Li because of his temperament of not being able to hide his words. It would definitely cause a lot of trouble if Li knew about it later, so Gu Liang had to refuse.
However, before Gu Liang could speak, the second uncle Gu Changan asked his wife Li: "Wife, didn't you say that there were many wild animals in the mountains and asked me not to go up the mountain to collect herbs with you?"
The second uncle was indeed the second uncle who couldn't hide his words. As soon as he said this, Li immediately twisted her husband's thigh under the table, and the second uncle trembled in pain. After hearing this, everyone looked at Li silently. Although they thought that what she said about the wild beasts on the mountain was true, they shouldn't talk to their family members like that.
Gu Liang had been staring at Li coldly since she spoke, so he could see their actions clearly. Gu Liang felt that although Li was full of small thoughts, his second uncle was a good person, and he would definitely help in the future, but not to get a share of the pie in the matter of picking herbs.
So Gu Liang immediately went to find Grandma Gu, who listened to him the most. She immediately pretended to be as innocent as a child and said, "Grandma, my third uncle and I are enough. There are so many herbs on the mountain. If there are too many people picking herbs, we will pick them all at once. There will be nothing left to pick in the future. Then our family will have to farm honestly. Besides, didn't we give you and grandpa all the money for picking herbs? We are a family, and the money we earn must be spent by our family! Don't you think so, grandma?"
Gu Liang used his own way to return the favor. Li used our family to pull in the relationship, and Gu Liang used our family to show that the money earned was also spent by the family, and it didn't matter who earned the money.
After hearing this, Grandma Gu felt that what Gu Liang said made a lot of sense, and immediately said that Gu Liang and Gu Boxi should be the only ones to pick the herbs, and the second son would not be needed.
The two of them had a long-term relationship, so there was no need to collect all the herbs on the mountain at once.
And Gu Lao Han naturally agreed with Gu Liang. They were all family members, so there was no need to distinguish between them. Whether the eldest son made money or the second son made money, it was the same for him. He was still the head of the family, so there was no problem listening to Gu Lao Ma's advice on such trivial matters.
Gu Bo Xi heard the open and secret struggles inside, but he was still learning to collect herbs with his nephew, so he naturally didn't say much and just ate quietly. Gu Liang's parents have always been traditional and honest people. Whatever Gu Lao Han and Gu Lao Ma said about this matter was what they said. Li's little idea was not realized, and she was also exposed by her husband. She was ashamed and never spoke again. As for a group of little ones, they were scrambling to soak rice in lotus root soup, and they didn't care about the open and secret struggles on the table at all.
However, the most indifferent one was the big bear, happily shaking his tail and gnawing on the bones. It was still too small, and its teeth were not sharp enough. After gnawing on the bones for a long time, the bones did not even suffer skin injuries.
But it was still happy. How could a dog not be happy with a bone? Unlike people, who are still unhappy even if they have money.
Since both Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu thought that going up the mountain to collect herbs was a good way to make money, when Gu Liang wanted to go up the Dahei Mountain to collect herbs, they did not object as before. They only reminded him to be safe in the mountains and to be on guard against wolves, tigers, leopards and wild boars in the mountains. You must bring the big bear with you when you go to the mountains. Although it is still small and not very aggressive, a dog is still a dog no matter how small it is. It is much more alert than a human and can detect something in advance.
Gu Liang was originally going to go to Dahei Mountain to collect herbs early tomorrow morning, but Mrs. Gu insisted on delaying it for two days.
These two days, Mrs. Gu woke up Gu Liang early in the morning and took him and his third uncle Gu Boxi to the temple in the next town.
There is a large Iron Buddha Temple in the next town, so the town is named Iron Buddha Temple Town. The reason why the Iron Buddha Temple is called the Iron Buddha Temple is that there must be an iron Buddha statue, which is more than ten feet high and is very famous in the local area. Many people come here to worship and pray for peace.
This iron Buddha is very huge for local people, and everyone who has seen it is amazed. But Gu Liang has seen the Nanhai Guanyin, and has seen Buddha statues over a hundred meters high. This Buddha statue is just ordinary for him.
However, the Iron Buddha Temple is well decorated, and it looks magnificent everywhere. After seeing the low mud brick walls and thatched houses of ordinary people nearby. Looking at the two-story Iron Buddha Temple, it seems to stand out from the crowd.
After Gu Liang and Gu Boxi asked for a good fortune, Gu Liang was very happy, and pulled Gu Liang and the two of them to worship, kneel, and kowtow again and again. Finally, he donated two hundred coins to the monk in the temple. Gu Liang looked at it and felt distressed!
Gu Liang suddenly felt that the gold and paint used on this magnificent temple were all funded by his hard-earned money.
