084 Mother-Daughter Conspiracy
When Aunt Zhang heard that Gu Xiaowan was so polite, she said this girl, but her face was very soft: "Why are you being polite to Aunt Zhang? If it weren't for you, your aunt would be able to make so much money! You don't know, we This time, it sold for nearly thirty taels of silver!"
Wow, so many!
Seeing the happy faces of Aunt Zhang and Xiao Shishi, Gu Xiaowan was also happy: "It's good to make money!"
Thirty taels of silver is the income of an ordinary family in the village for several years. After digging bamboo shoots for a few days, they made so much money. No wonder Brother Stone and Aunt Zhang are so happy.
"Oh, it's just a pity. If I can dig with the stone, maybe I can dig a little more and sell a little more." Aunt Zhang said with a little regret. One hundred cents a pound of bamboo shoots, if you dig a little more, how much more will it sell for!
"Auntie, don't be sad." Gu Xiaowan knew what Aunt Zhang was thinking. If she were herself, Gu Xiaowan would also have such thoughts in her heart. It's just that she didn't expect that the bamboo shoots would sell so well all of a sudden: "Aunt Zhang, it's snowing outside now, and the bamboo shoots can't be dug up. When spring arrives next year, we can dig the bamboo shoots together. That one can also be sold. of."
"Really?" Aunt Zhang asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Gu Xiaowan replied: "Really, Aunt Zhang, it's just that bamboo shoots are launched in the town this time, and many people will know that bamboo shoots can be sold and will go to the mountains to dig them. Maybe the price will be at that time. It's not that good. Besides, the bamboo shoots this winter taste better than those in spring, and the price is higher than that in spring."
Gu Xiaowan said truthfully.
"That's fine, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter how much you earn. Mother, don't be sad. When the weather is fine, I'll go to the bamboo forest to dig for bamboo shoots." The stone beside him quickly comforted his mother.
"Well, Brother Stone, I'll go with you then!" Gu Ningping said not to be outdone.
"I'll go too!" Gu Ning'an also said.
"There's Xiaoyi, too!" Gu Xiaoyi saw that his brothers were going to dig bamboo shoots. How could he be missing in this matter, and he said quickly, for fear that they would dig bamboo shoots and not bring himself.
"Dude Xiaoyi, I will definitely take you." The stone framed Gu Xiaoyi's arms and hugged Xiaoyi, holding Gu Xiaoyi and turning around twice, making Gu Xiaoyi giggled and kept laughing.
Because of the arrival of the Sun family just now, Aunt Zhang stayed at the door for a long time. After standing outside for so long, Gu Xiaowan felt a little stunned. She was about to call Aunt Zhang to come in and sit down, but she heard Aunt Zhang say goodbye to her: "Xiao Wan, I'll go back first. Your Uncle Zhang is still at home alone. I'll come directly to you when I get back. I don't know how your Uncle Zhang is now."
"Well, let's go, Aunt Zhang." Seeing Aunt Zhang's hurry, Gu Xiaowan didn't do much to keep her back. At this time, she saw Shitou took a bag from the ox cart and put it in front of Gu Xiaowan's feet. Seeing Gu Xiaowan's stunned look, Shi Shi hurriedly explained, "My mother bought it and said I'll give it to you to eat."
Gu Xiaowan immediately understood that she was afraid that they would not be full, so she still sent rations. But this time, Gu Xiaowan would never take it any more, she hurriedly picked up the bag and wanted to return it to Aunt Zhang, but Gu Xiaowan overestimated her strength. Ning An and Gu Ningping came to help.
Seeing that Gu Xiaowan didn't accept it, Aunt Zhang was a little angry: "You take it, you made such a big deal for your aunt, you deserve this amount of white rice."
It turned out that the bag was full of white rice. I'm afraid this bag weighs 20 pounds.
Gu Xiaowan felt grateful again in her heart, but this time she couldn't take it any more: "Aunt Zhang, you can take back all these white rice. Xiaowan and her younger brothers and sisters understand the heart of my aunt. However, Xiaowan will also now. I made money, and the money I made this time was also earned by Brother Stone through hard work, and the white rice also belongs to you, so I can’t get it.”
"Silly child, your parents are not here. Auntie has the responsibility to take good care of you. No matter whether you make money or not, you will keep all these, and you will keep the money. There will be more places to spend money in the future."
When Gu Xiaowan heard this, she was very moved. Maybe that's what true love is. Even if the blood is not the same, the heart is on your side.
Aunt Zhang also warned him a few words, and then he and Shitou hurried back in an ox cart. It's freezing outside, and the cattle at home are afraid of getting cold, so they have to go back quickly and tie the cattle into the woodshed to keep them warm. Moreover, Uncle Zhang was at home alone, and it was inconvenient to move around, so he had to take care of him. Gu Xiaowan was too embarrassed to stay.
After sending Aunt Zhang away, Gu Xiaowan and the others returned to the mansion. Put the white rice in a corner of the house after it has been collected. Gu Xiaowan was still a little puzzled, thinking about the purpose of Sun's visit this time. On this snowy day, the pampered Sun and Gu Xintao couldn't make this trip for no reason. They definitely had their plans.
And Sun hurried back with Gu Xintao, and said as they walked, "Xintao, your father is really right. Gu Xiaowan didn't know what happened to her luck, and she actually made a fortune."
"Mother, they just wore new clothes, and it's nothing. That material is the worst in the store, so I don't care about it." Gu Xintao looked disgusted. Gu Xiaowan was wearing the worst clothes, right? Compared with her, she was a thousand miles away.
"Then don't look at their poor family, what did they wear before!" Seeing that her daughter was so ignorant, Sun couldn't help being a little worried. Her daughter is only ten years old, and she is very beautiful. Seeing that her daughter is getting older and prettier every day, the arrogance in her heart is getting stronger every day.
she
Marrying Gu Chuanlu all my life, but I haven't enjoyed a day of brocade clothes and jade food, so I hope that when my daughter grows up, she will be able to marry into the family of a dignitary, so that she can be a mother dressed in gold and jade, be a woman noble lady.
Therefore, the Sun family has always been obedient to Gu Xintao, and everything follows Gu Xintao, such as delicious food, beautiful clothes and jewelry. , This is in the town. Gu Chuanlu, the cashier in the Shunxin Restaurant, has a precious daughter who is as beautiful as a flower. Anyone who has been to the Shunxin Restaurant knows that.
