Chapter 27 Gu He explains why his daughter chose the city
There are two stoves in the kitchen, one for boiling water and one for cooking.
Gu Xiaoxi occupied the stove for boiling water, found a broken pot, went out to get some river stones and threw them into the pot, then started his own operation.
Chai couldn't understand what Gu Xiaoxi was doing, so she went over to take a look and found that she was cooking chestnuts, but she had never seen it cooked this way before.
Seeing her daughter put the brown sugar in, she anxiously snatched the rest back: "Xiaoxi, don't waste such good things!"
"Mom, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. I'm going to sell this on the street tomorrow." Gu Xiaoxi snatched the brown sugar back and continued to put it in.
Chai said, not quite understanding, "Although wild chestnuts are hard to find, they are sold in the market. They are not worth much."
"Mom, go cook first. When it's ready, come and express your opinion after you've eaten." Gu Xiaoxi drove her mother away. This was the first business she was going to do.
There are quite a few thorn balls in the space. I can make some every day and let my mother and sister-in-law sell them on the street. I can earn some money.
As for the debts that her family needs to pay off, these are definitely not enough. She plans to go to the mountains to look for some more ginseng.
or……
As long as the guy in the space pays the medical fee, she will pay back all the money she saved and will be able to live a normal life slowly.
Seeing that her daughter was acting mysterious, Chai didn't bother her any more.
My third brother is having dinner here today, so she fried the remaining half piece of pork with some cabbage. Together with the mushrooms she picked in the mountains today, she will have two dishes tonight.
When dinner was ready, Gu Xiaoxi's sugar-roasted chestnuts were also ready.
Before eating, she served some chestnuts to everyone to try.
The chestnuts have a sweet taste when you put them in your mouth. Not everyone can afford sugar these days, right?
Tasting the sweetness, Dani licked the chestnut skin.
"Mom, what is this made of? It's so delicious." Gu Bingxue also licked the corner of her mouth.
"This is chestnut. Isn't it delicious?" Gu Xiaoxi said as he looked at the three children.
Not only did the three children nod in unison, but even the adults praised it highly.
"Xiaoxi, how did you make this? It's so delicious." Gu Nanming had never eaten such delicious chestnuts.
Uh-huh!
Gu Dongming nodded repeatedly after listening.
Xue also nodded in agreement.
"We'll talk about how to make it later. Starting tomorrow, mother and sister-in-law will carry these chestnuts to the market to sell them. A bowl costs three cents." Gu Xiaoxi even set the price.
When she went to the market yesterday, she asked about the price of chestnuts. A small basket cost three cents, and a basket contained about one pound.
The village uses large bowls, and one bowl weighs seven or eight taels, which is considered very cheap.
Xue immediately retorted, "It's three cents a pound at the market, and two cents a pound in the village is even cheaper. How can you sell even a pound of this bowl?"
"Even if it costs one penny per pound, can you taste the sweetness?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
After hearing this, Xue fell silent. These chestnuts were sweeter than usual, and you couldn't usually get them.
"Okay, let's listen to Xiaoxi and take them to town to sell tomorrow." Gu He made the decision immediately.
After Gu An came back, he heard a lot of rumors about his eldest niece, but now he found that this girl was very opinionated.
I just hope Xiaoxi can truly turn over a new leaf and stop cheating Big Brother's family.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it carefully. It seemed that it would take half an hour to go to the town by ox cart, but less than an hour to get to the city. It would be better to take it to the city to sell it.
In places in the city where there are many readers, it is estimated that sales will not be slow.
With an idea in mind, she said, "Mom, I will go with you tomorrow, but I won't go to the town. I will take a bullock cart to the city."
"It will cost a lot of money to take a bullock cart to the city. We haven't even earned any money yet and we're just wasting it. No way!" Chai shook her head after hearing this.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that her mother was worried about money, so she looked at her third brother and said, "Third brother, I'll pay. You come with me tomorrow and let me help you at home."
"Okay!" Gu Nanming agreed readily.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been to the city, and he was happy to be able to go there.
"Xiaoxi..." Chai wanted to persuade her daughter to sell it in town, but her husband spoke.
"Xiaoxi's idea is not wrong. There are many poor people in the town and many rich people in the city. The poor are reluctant to eat candy, but the rich won't." Gu He explained the reason why his daughter chose the city.
"Dad is so smart!" Gu Xiaoxi laughed.
Gu An looked at his elder brother, then at his eldest niece, lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
After dinner, Gu An went to the backyard to clean up and then went back.
Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming continued to pry the thorn ball, while Gu Xiaoxi continued to fry chestnuts in the kitchen.
Mrs. Xue bathed and changed clothes for the three children. Although she hated her sister-in-law, she still treated the two children very well.
"Aunt, do you want to go to the city with Mom?" Gu Bingxue asked in a low voice when she saw her aunt secretly looking at Mom.
Xue stopped what she was doing, touched the little girl's face and asked, "Is your mother good to you?"
"It wasn't good before, but it's good now." Gu Bingxue replied.
Because she didn't give birth to a son, the ex-mother-in-law was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law. Xue knew that her sister-in-law used to dislike her two daughters, but she didn't expect that her temperament changed drastically after she came back, which made her always feel that something was wrong.
"Do you miss your father and grandma?" she asked.
When Gu Bingxue mentioned her father and grandmother, her expression changed.
"Tell my aunt what happened?" Xue held the little girl in her arms.
"Dad and grandma sold Mom, and they wanted to sell us too. Luckily, my mom came back and drove the traffickers away.
Dad never cared about us, and grandma never let us eat enough. I never want to go back to that place, we all like the mom we have now." Gu Bingxue said with a big reaction, picked up her unworn coat and ran out of the house.
She knew that her aunt didn't like her mother, and she was afraid that her mother would be kicked out of her grandmother's house. What if her mother returned to her grandmother's house and became a bad mother again?
When Gu Xiaoxi came out to pick chestnuts, she saw her eldest daughter running out without wearing a coat, and hurriedly followed her into the house.
Gu Bingxue heard the door open, turned around and saw her mother coming in. She rushed into her mother's arms: "Mom, please don't go back to grandma's house. Please don't become that mother who doesn't love us anymore, okay?"
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know what her sister-in-law had said to make the child so excited. She patted her daughter's back gently and whispered soothingly, "No, no, even if you're not at grandma's house, mother will never return to that wolf's den again in her life."
"Mom, my sister and I are so scared. We're afraid that you'll become like you were before." Gu Bingxue looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Silly child, the reason why mother changed is because I have experienced life and death, seen through that family, and know that you and Ruixue are the most important to me." Gu Xiaoxi felt that it would take a long time for the two children to recover from the psychological damage.
After comforting Bingxue, she went out to continue her work. When she returned to the room at midnight, the two children were asleep.
After closing the door and covering the two children with blankets, she turned and entered the space to check on the boy's condition. The best thing to do was to get the medical fee as soon as possible.
