Chapter 25 25. Suffering a loss and taking advantage

He Tuliang quickly covered the boxes, which were most of his belongings. "Look at what my brother-in-law said, these are all our previous stocks. We have worked so hard to carry them along the way, so we might as well make things easier for everyone."

"Carrying it?" Gu Yuanlei raised his hand and pointed at the old yellow cow eating hay on the side, "Is this cow just for decoration? In such a large team, only a few families have cows to pull carts, which means your family's life is not that difficult.

Even so, you are unwilling to pay two cents for water, and you asked my sister to go back and ask my parents for help. You are just trying to appease a three-year-old child."

Gu Wenheng also added fuel to the fire, making it easier for the family to calculate, "So these are all inventory! Then the price should be about the same as before? We are all relatives, I have to take care of your business and exchange some things for you to take back, so that you don't have to carry them all the way."

The other brothers' eyes sparkled, the seventh brother was finally reliable.

"Yes, we are all relatives, so I have to help you no matter what and share the burden so that your family won't have such a hard time." Gu Yuanhuo even began to grope for his purse. The prices on the road now are several times higher than before, and it seems that he doesn't have enough money.

The brothers hit it off immediately and started to open the two cargo boxes and pick out the goods themselves, regardless of how ugly He Tuliang's face was.

Salt is a must. Brothers, you take one bag and I take one bag, and we can all share it.

Needlework, shoes, clothes, pick up all the way.

Insoles and small scraps of cloth can be used to make several pairs of shoes.

Sugar is a rare thing and must be stockpiled to sweeten the mouths of children and daughter-in-law.

…

By the time the brothers stopped, the two cargo boxes were almost empty.

The villagers nearby looked more and more unhappy as they saw their supplies dwindling.

But no one said anything, because He Tuliang's price was not low, but no one knew how he would settle the bill with his brothers.

Gu Yuanjin piled his things in front of the He family and said, "I will give you a 50% increase based on the previous price of your inventory. Let's put it this way. Salt is 15 cents per pound, and needlework is 8 cents. ... ... After all the calculations, how much is it?"

"Brother, the total is ninety-eight copper coins. You are really generous. In the past, you could have bought it with fifty or sixty copper coins. You have made a lot of money, brother-in-law." Gu Wenheng looked at the He family with a smile, and suddenly he found their ugly faces particularly pleasing to the eye.

Gu Yuanmu, who was waiting on the side, also happily pushed the things over. "Seventh Brother is different because he has studied. Help your second brother to calculate and raise the price like your eldest brother. We can't let our eldest brother-in-law work so hard for so long, right?"

Gu Wenheng naturally accepted everyone who came and not only helped count the prices, but also counted all the copper coins one by one in front of He Bi's family and other villagers.

Seeing their things being sold at such a low price, the He family could not sit still. He Zhou cried and shouted for help from their village chief, but was rejected with a sentence "handle your own family affairs".

As for selling goods, the people of Geda Village have long had opinions about this family. Since you are already storing the goods, why are you raising the price several times to sell them to the villagers? Isn't this taking advantage of your familiarity?

Besides, the Gu family is a respectable family. They didn't ask for your things for nothing. They are all relatives, so it's only right that you give them some discounts.

Mrs. He is now regretting her decision to the point of her intestines turning green. If she had known that the Gu family was so difficult to deal with, she would not have instigated that useless second son's wife to go back and borrow money. Now she has suffered a huge loss.

Especially when she met He Tuliang's eyes, her limbs began to tremble, knowing that Boss He was just blaming her.

But I didn't start this alone. Didn't they agree to it at the time?

No matter how much they regretted, the Gu family took out half of the money and put it directly into Gu Yuanfeng's arms in front of everyone.

Li Cuicui also did not forget to take off some jewelry from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Before leaving, Li Cuicui did not forget to explain, "These are almost equivalent to the value of what you gave away. Although we have lost some money, we can't be too fussy about it.

Your mother's family is just behind the team. If you can't keep the money, let your brothers and nephews come and make the decision for you."

Gu Yuanfeng had a complicated expression, but his hands were tightly holding the purse in his hands, "But..."

"Don't say buts. You brothers are not pushovers. If you want to bully you, you have to see if we agree or not." Gu Yuanhuo was holding something in one hand and waving his fist with the other. "I think brothers-in-law won't be so stubborn, right?"

He Tuliang swallowed and dared not say anything.

"Okay, we have a lot of things to do at home. Let's send the things back quickly and buy a few bowls of water. What's the point of those material things if you don't care about your own life at this time?" Li Cuicui waved her hand and walked to the back of the team with her children and grandchildren.

As for my silly daughter, I hope she can learn a lesson and learn some hardship.

"Mom, is Sixth Sister okay there?" After leaving Geda Village, Gu Yuantu finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"That's what she wanted to do. People have to suffer a little before they know who is a human and who is a ghost." Everyone knows what kind of people the He family is.

Although it could shock people temporarily, it also offended people, and in the end, it was Gu Yuanfeng who suffered the loss.

This requires her to be able to stand on her own feet, otherwise even if she stays there every day, her life will become more and more difficult.

Gu Wenheng did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for this cheap sixth sister. The moment she raised her hand towards Jin Qianqian, he had already classified this person as the opposing side.

"Where did these things come from?" When Gu Wenheng lifted up his robe, the groceries he had picked up appeared in front of Jin Qianqian.

"Bought, put these things in order, collect what needs to be collected, and put the rest in the backpack." Gu Wenheng didn't have time to explain so much to her now. The other brothers over there were already shouting, if they didn't go to buy water, they would miss it later.

Jin Qianqian handed all the bamboo tubes to Gu Wenheng, and did not forget to ask, "Do you have enough money?"

Gu Wenheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Qianqian, not forgetting to tease her, "We are really becoming more and more like an old married couple. We really pay attention to the details of our daily life."

Jin Qianqian was stunned. She had unknowingly become accustomed to this kind of life and didn't even feel that there was anything wrong.

Gu Wenheng did not disturb her. He left happily with the empty bamboo tube in his hand.

If the scene wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to sing a song.

"Seventh brother, what are you so happy about?" After what happened before, the Gu brothers felt that their relationship had become much closer. Even Gu Yuantu, who rarely joked, could make a joke.

Gu Wenheng grinned and said, "I feel happy when I see people I don't like get into trouble.

Isn't that what Fifth Brother thinks?"
