Chapter 54: No Rules, No Order
Mrs. Chai had almost forgotten about this matter. Now that her daughter brought it up, she opened her mouth to refute, but was stopped by her daughter's words.
"Mom, there is no order without rules. Our family has grown, and we may have to divide it in the future. They have nothing. It will be difficult for my second brother to survive. This cannot be changed." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi opened the purse.
She left halfway on the first day, but she still went, and her eldest and third brothers calculated her wages for the day.
She didn't go the next day, and she calculated two days' wages for her eldest and third brothers.
"By the way, did your eldest sister-in-law go yesterday?" She thought that her eldest and third brothers must be too busy to come, so she asked.
"I went, I went." Chai knew she couldn't hide it, so she could only admit it.
Seeing his mother's distressed expression, Gu Xiaoxi took out another five taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand: "Mother, take this. With money in hand, you will feel at ease."
"Mom, don't do that. You just paid off your debt and you can't be without money." Chai waved her hand.
Her daughter bought all the food and meat these days, so she didn't have much to spend money on.
"Mom, I can make money by digging herbs and selling chestnuts. Don't worry, my pockets will not be empty." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi stuffed the silver back into his mother's pocket.
After hearing what her daughter said, Chai reluctantly took back the five taels of silver.
Gu Xiaoxi gave the money that her eldest and third brothers' families had to pay to her mother, and would deal with the remaining part after she finished her work in the evening.
After putting the silver away, she said, "Mom, I'm a little sleepy. I need to take a nap because I have to go up the mountain."
"Go to sleep and don't worry about the rest." Chai felt sorry for her daughter and told her to go to bed quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi came out of the house and took a look at her second sister-in-law who was working with her. She was sure that the core had been replaced.
If you are reborn, it is impossible not to remember what happened before. Only when your soul travels through time will there be memory deviation.
She went over to give the two children some words of advice and then went back to her room to sleep.
Mrs. Mo was so angry when she saw Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and saw this scene. She liked to see the enemy's angry look because they couldn't stand her and couldn't kill her. She was in a very good mood!
…
At noon, Gu Xiaoxi's alarm clock rang and she got up tiredly.
When she walked out of the room, her father and the others were still working. She glanced around and didn't see her mother, sister-in-law, and children. She guessed that they were all in the kitchen, so she walked quickly into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Xue was cooking. She fried a large plate of cabbage and made some cabbage porridge.
Chai's here, there is absolutely no oil in it.
Gu Xiaoxi came in and smelled the pure green aroma. She went forward and put some oil in the porridge, then found the leftover pork in the jar and chopped off a piece.
"Xiaoxi, if there is any food, please leave it for us to eat!" Chai didn't want the second son's wife to get it for free.
"Mom, how can we work if we don't eat enough? If we don't finish the work before dark, how are we going to get by at night?" Gu Xiaoxi pointed out the seriousness of the problem.
Only then did Chai remember that she had to go sell chestnuts tomorrow. If she didn't build the wall, there was no telling what her second son's wife might do.
In this way, she was quickly persuaded by her daughter.
Gu Xiaoxi stir-fried some meat slices and mushrooms, and made some chopped cabbage soup. After the two dishes and the soup were served, the meal began.
Gu Ximing and Mrs. Mo hadn't had hot meals for several days. After sitting down, Mrs. Mo picked up her chopsticks and started eating without waiting for the elders to pick up their chopsticks.
"Wife, wait a minute before eating." Gu Ximing hurriedly grabbed his wife's hand.
"Wait for nothing, we have separated and now we should help with work and eat." Mrs. Mo didn't listen at all and started eating.
Bang!
Chai's chopsticks came straight over and knocked Mo's chopsticks away. She said coldly: "Those who work get to eat meat. Take your bowl and go eat over there!"
If Mo Ling had the temper she had before, she would definitely have flipped the table, but now she was from the extremely poor Mo family. If she flipped the table, she would have to work on an empty stomach, so she had no choice but to compromise.
However, no matter how much you compromise, you still have to eat what you should eat.
She picked up the chopsticks and picked up several large chopsticks of meat and put them into the bowl. Then she filled the bowl with wild vegetable porridge and carried the bowl out of the house.
Seeing his wife being so rude, Gu Ximing didn't have the face to stay, so he stood up with his bowl and chopsticks.
Gu Xiaoxi pulled her second brother and picked up a few pieces of meat for him.
"Thank you, Xiaoxi." Gu Ximing knew that his sister was not a bad person, she just had a conflict with her wife.
snort!
Chai snorted coldly. Only Xiaoxi was soft-hearted and easy to talk to. Giving birth to a son like this felt worse than giving birth to a piece of pork. It really made her angry to death.
Just as Gu Ximing was about to leave, Gu Nanming pulled him back to sit down: "Eat here."
Gu Xiaoxi understood what his third brother was thinking. He was worried that his second brother would take the bowl out and not be able to eat the meat.
After not seeing her second brother for a few days, she seemed to have lost weight again, and she felt a little sad.
"Eat!" Mrs. Chai's voice was a little choked. Seeing her second son like this, she was sad after all.
Xue took one look at her mother-in-law and knew that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. However, this time her second sister-in-law had really gone too far.
"Eat, eat quickly, eat well and do your work well." Gu He said loudly.
No one dared to say a word. They finished the food on the table and sat down to rest for a while.
Gu Dongming and Gu Nanming were worried about tomorrow's business, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks and went out to work.
Gu He and Gu An need to rest for a while.
Gu Xiaoxi put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out carrying two baskets. Before leaving, he gave his mother and sister-in-law some instructions.
She left home through the back door and walked around the foot of the mountain behind, climbing up the mountain wherever there was a road.
I climbed this mountain today, and I had never been there before. The foot of the mountain was bare, and the climb up was quite steep, so there were not many villagers strolling around at the foot of the mountain.
This was exactly what she wanted, so she climbed up as fast as she could, carrying the basket on her back.
When we almost reached the middle of the mountain, the forest finally became dense.
She walked into a forest and after walking for a while, she saw a bamboo forest.
At this time, bamboo shoots emerged from the bamboo forest. They looked very tender. She couldn't help but dig some up so that she could change her taste when she got home.
She was a little tired of eating wild vegetables and cabbage every day. Bamboo shoots are good stuff. If she can't finish them, she can dry them and use them to make bacon in winter. They are so delicious!
Thinking of bacon, she thought she could get some in her space. Since it was so hard work, it would be okay to cook a small meal occasionally.
This is a huge area, and it will probably take several days to dig it all. Time is limited today, so she dug most of the chestnuts in the backpack and continued to move forward to see if there are any chestnuts in this forest.
As a result, we walked around until dark, but we didn't see any chestnuts. However, we did kill a few big bamboo rats.
This is a good thing. Once it is cleaned, you can eat it in a dry pot or grilled. It is really delicious.
However, we can’t find new chestnut trees, and the stock in the space can only be sold for more than a month. What should we do?
