Chapter 32 Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly
"Mom! This is my home too. Besides, I owe the money, so I must do my part." Gu Xiaoxi insisted.
"You can't give all the money to your family!" Chai refused to agree no matter what.
Seeing that her mother was so persistent, Gu Xiaoxi remembered what she had said before and finally put the money away.
However, she added: “You don’t have to accept the money, but you can tell me what I buy for the family, just accept it.
Besides, whether it’s you, my sister-in-law, or my brothers who help me with the work, I have to pay them.”
“I can take the goods home, but not the wages. How much do you earn?
Besides, they are all family members, why should we charge them money? "Gu He also disagreed with his daughter.
Gu Xiaoxi still insisted, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. If parents don't agree, then starting tomorrow, I will go out and recruit people to work for me."
"How can that be?" Chai jumped up after hearing this.
There is no money at home, and yet the money is given away. It seems that this girl has not changed her bad habit of squandering money!
"Xiaoxi, this won't do!" Gu He also objected.
"No, then just listen to me from now on." Gu Xiaoxi said and went back to the house pretending to be angry.
She was all dirty after going up the mountain, so she changed her clothes and went to the kitchen.
Today, Gu An was worried that he would be kept for dinner again, so he left early.
At this time, others entered the kitchen.
Chai had already prepared dinner. Since there were chestnuts at home, they would have chestnut porridge tonight. The chestnuts were boiled until soft and then cooked with brown rice.
Although it can't be compared with rice, it is much better than those wild vegetable porridges.
"There's enough tonight, come and eat!" Chai also knew that the family hadn't eaten enough for a while.
Gu Xiaoxi drank a bowl of food and felt bloated. After hearing what her mother said, she spoke up, "Mom, you can't eat this every day. The nights are long. Make more meals in the future. We must have enough food at night when there's food at home."
Chai wanted to retort, but then she heard her daughter say, "Mother, you can't work if you don't have enough to eat. Business was very good when we went there today.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Chai nodded after hearing what her daughter said.
Although Xue wanted her sister-in-law to take out the money to pay off the debt, her parents-in-law refused and she could do nothing about it. Now she just wanted to have enough food to eat every day.
…
After breakfast the next day, Gu Xiaoxi assigned work to everyone.
The third brother continued to help his uncle repair the house behind, while the eldest brother and sister-in-law went to chop firewood.
Mother and Dani went out to dig some wild vegetables, and the two children and the third brother looked after them.
As for Dad, his legs and feet are not very flexible, so he can move around however he wants.
She planned to wait until her business was a little more stable before taking her father to see his feet.
Gu Xiaoxi still took a detour up the mountain, but she carried two backpacks. When she went down the mountain, she threw one of the backpacks into the space.
Climb to the forest in one breath and start work in the morning.
At noon, she went for a walk in the woods and was lucky enough to shoot two pheasants.
In order to make it easier for him to be served, I didn't give him any food these past two days and only used potions.
But, it’s not good to not eat all the time.
She threw a pheasant into the space, picked up another pheasant, and roasted the pheasant outside the cave.
After roasting him, she took him out of the space and untied the blood vessels on his body.
"Get up when you wake up and eat something so you can have some energy." As she spoke, she handed Ye Lixuan a big chicken leg.
Ye Lixuan was not polite either. He needed to get better as soon as possible. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to clean up, and he hadn't found the person he was looking for yet.
He took the chicken leg and took two bites, then said apologetically, "I'll have to wait a while for the silver. The jade pendant is with you, and I won't default on it."
Gu Xiaoxi was skeptical, but at this moment, she suddenly realized something.
This might not be the Ye Lixuan she knew, they just looked the same.
"Girl, girl!" Ye Lixuan shouted a few times after hearing no response for a long time.
"Calculate the interest!" Gu Xiaoxi came back to his senses and said.
"Okay!" Ye Lixuan agreed readily.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi asked him to walk around and not leave the cave, and she went to look at other forests.
Ye Lixuan didn't dare to walk around. After all, he was seriously injured. If he met those men in black who were chasing him again, he would probably die.
Gu Xiaoxi was afraid that Ye Lixuan would follow her, so she walked a little far away.
She discovered several new chestnut trees in the nearby woods and shot two rabbits.
She was so busy that when the sun was almost setting, she came to the entrance of the cave and saw Ye Lixuan leaning against the edge of the cave and taking a nap tiredly.
Gu Xiaoxi went over to check the situation and confirmed that Ye Lixuan was just exhausted. She pressed the acupoints on his body and placed him in the space.
Today, the thorn balls in the space have piled up in more than half of the yard, but thinking that the space can keep them fresh, she doesn't plan to take them all out.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she went home first, carrying two baskets on her back.
After returning home, she emptied her backpack and went out again.
Gu Dongming wanted to go over and help but was rejected by Gu Xiaoxi. The couple could only help get these thorny balls.
Gu Xiaoxi went back and forth twice and brought back four baskets before she gave up.
After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi was in charge of frying chestnuts in the kitchen, while everyone else was peeling chestnuts in the yard. In order to speed things up, she asked her uncle to stay behind as well.
I was busy until almost midnight and finally finished. I fried all the chestnuts that I would take to the city tomorrow. I could just put them back in the wok and take them away in the morning.
"Xiaoxi, can we sell all these chestnuts?" Chai was a little worried that if they produced too many chestnuts and couldn't sell them all, it would be a waste of money.
"Don't worry, Mom. If we can't sell all the goods in one place, we can just go to another place. Mom, come with us tomorrow." Gu Xiaoxi had already made plans.
The street where Mrs. Tan and her family live is very busy. They could set up a stall at the back door, but the place is too small and there is no room to put stools, so the couple did not set up a stall there.
Mrs. Tan said that if there were few people in the academy in the afternoon, she could set up the stall over there.
However, she would definitely not take advantage of others for nothing. If she really wanted to set up the store, she would pay them rent.
Seeing his daughter's confidence, Gu He scolded her, "Why do you always discourage your daughter? Just follow her."
"Yes, yes, you can't hurt your own daughter!" Seeing her husband say this, Chai could only smile and walk out.
The next morning, Gu Xiaoxi left the village with his third brother and mother.
When it was time to take the ox cart, my mother started dawdling again.
Gu Xiaoxi angrily snatched her mother's backpack and got on the ox cart with her third brother.
Chai was worried that they were too busy, so she had no choice but to follow them.
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest sister-in-law was so disloyal, Gu Xiaoxi would never let her mother follow her even if she was beaten to death.
Oh My God!
This is simply the female version of Tang Monk, she never stopped talking all the way.
Hearing this, Brother Zhou, who was driving the car, couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaoxi and shook his head with a wry smile.
After getting off the ox cart and taking the backpack down, Gu Xiaoxi had to make things clear with her mother first: "Mother, those scholars are very picky, so please don't talk nonsense later."
Gu Nanming said, "I'm not worried about the scholars, but the merchants nearby."
