Chapter 55 I don’t know what my wife is going to do
Gu Xiaoxi thought, I can't just switch to other business right after I've made a name for myself, right?
I can’t find it today, so next time I can only go to the same forest to look for it.
Seeing that it was getting dark, she ran back to the bamboo forest, dug up some more bamboo shoots, and threw some into the space for storage.
When she got to the foot of the mountain and made sure there was no one around, she took out a basket of bamboo shoots and a basket of chestnuts from the space and returned to the backyard.
Xue was worried that Gu Xiaoxi would move these things to the front yard, so she waited in the backyard as soon as it got dark.
Hearing a knock on the door, she hurriedly opened it.
Seeing that it was her sister-in-law, Gu Xiaoxi brought a basket of bamboo shoots to her: "Put the things out of the basket and give it to me. I still need to go out a few times. I can make stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat tonight. Don't worry about the meat. I have money to buy it now."
Why……
Xue nodded and ran to the kitchen with the basket on her back.
Gu Xiaoxi threw the basket of chestnuts into the warehouse and waited for her sister-in-law to come over with an empty basket. Then she went out again.
Seeing that they were still busy over there, she simply made two more trips and carried back all the chestnuts she needed.
By the time she got to the front yard, dinner was ready.
Chai thought she didn't have to work at night, so she stir-fried bamboo shoots without any meat, and without adding much oil.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at the dry bamboo shoots without any luster and immediately lost her appetite.
"You must be tired, come and eat." Chai served her daughter a big bowl of oil-free cabbage porridge.
Gu Xiaoxi...
She really couldn't eat any more, so she went over to turn the meat out and brought over the big plate of bamboo shoots. She first fried the meat to release the oil, added some salt when the meat was fragrant, and then put the bamboo shoots in and stir-fried them.
When the aroma filled her nose, she served out most of the dish and put the other small half in the pot, so that her second sister-in-law wouldn't eat too much and her father and mother wouldn't have anything to eat.
Sure enough, as soon as the dish was served, Mrs. Mo aimed at the meat clip, which made Mrs. Chai so angry that she pulled out her chopsticks again and drove people to go to the door to eat.
Gu Xiaoxi waited until Mrs. Mo was kicked out of the house before serving the remaining dishes.
"Sister is smart, otherwise all the meat would have been eaten by that lunatic." Gu Nanming no longer called her the second sister-in-law, but called her a lunatic directly.
It was really that the Mo family went too far today. If it weren't for the fact that the second brother was an honest person, they would have kicked him out directly.
"Third brother, have your meal!" Gu Xiaoxi glanced at his second brother and could see that he was upset.
After hearing what his sister said, Gu Nanming buried his head in eating.
Without drinking, dinner would be over quickly.
After eating and drinking, Gu An was not in a hurry to leave. He knew that Xiaoxi would definitely get those thorn balls later.
After dinner, Chai drove the second son and his wife out through the back door. From then on, they never had to go through the same door again, which meant out of sight, out of mind.
After driving them out, everyone started to get busy.
Mrs. Mo went out the door but did not leave. She put her ear to the door, listening to the sounds inside and wondering what they were doing.
She suddenly remembered what the villagers said, that little bitch Gu Xiaoxi had recently started a chestnut business.
If I guessed correctly, it was probably sugar-roasted chestnuts.
"Wife, let's go. It's late and cold." Gu Ximing shouted.
Madam Mo glared at him fiercely and started to curse: "You useless thing!"
Gu Ximing felt that his wife had changed so much, probably because she was living her life over again and didn't want to live such a miserable life like in her previous life.
He felt guilty that he had no ability to make money and that she almost died, so no matter how she made a fuss now, he wouldn't say much.
Seeing that this coward didn't say anything, Mrs. Mo left even more angrily.
Gu Xiaoxi and the others were busy dealing with these thorn balls as quickly as possible, otherwise they would not be able to finish the work until midnight.
Fortunately, everyone is familiar with the operating procedures. Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Nanming can both fry chestnuts, and their speed is relatively fast.
I worked until midnight and finally prepared all the goods needed for tomorrow's sale.
Everyone was so tired that they sat down and didn't want to move. Gu Xiaoxi made a midnight snack for everyone, which was meat soup noodles.
While eating noodles, Gu Xiaoxi felt that he had neglected something.
Not only should people who work outside be paid, but people who work at home should also be paid, because the work at home is not easy.
So, she took out some silver and distributed the money she earned from selling goods to everyone first: "These are all the money that mother deducted for household expenses. What's left in your hands, save it well and don't spend it carelessly."
Xue didn't expect that the money would come into her hands. She originally thought that if it didn't come into her hands, she would be happy as long as she could have something to eat.
Now, with the wages of her and her husband, a total of thirty cents, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.
It seems that my sister-in-law's words are effective, and my mother-in-law finally listened.
After Gu Xiaoxi distributed their money, he gave ten cents each to his father, mother, and uncle.
"You get paid for working, uncle. Don't return it to me. If you don't come to help me, I will spend money to hire someone outside." She would never give anyone a chance to return the money.
Gu An had to retract the hand he had just extended.
Keep the good things in the fields and save them for the stream.
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest." Gu Xiaoxi did not keep her uncle today because she did not have time to move out of the room over there.
Not only her, Gu Nanming was also sleeping on the floor in his parents' room.
Gu He sent Gu An out of the yard and repeatedly told his brother to be careful when he returned, after all, it was so late.
After waiting for my uncle to leave, everyone went back to sleep.
…
The next day, before dawn, the family carried baskets on their backs and walked out of the village. Gu Nanming was worried that his sister would not come back so soon, so he arranged to hire a bullock cart. When they arrived, Zhou Dazhu was already waiting there.
Gu Xiaoxi thought that since this was the case, after loading the things onto the ox cart, she wanted to discuss with Brother Zhou about going to his house to pick them up.
Before Gu Xiaoxi could speak, Zhou Dazhu said, "Xiaoxi, I'll pick you up at your doorstep the day after tomorrow, so that you don't have to go there again."
"Thank you very much, Brother Zhou." Gu Xiaoxi thanked him repeatedly.
Seeing that it was still early, she said, "How about I take you for a walk first, so that you can find the way the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, it's still early anyway!" Zhou Dazhu agreed readily.
Gu Xiaoxi called his parents and others to get on the ox cart, and pointed out another way to Zhou Dazhu to enter the village. This road could lead directly to the back door of their house, which could avoid a lot of trouble.
After sending Gu He and his wife and Xue to their doorsteps, Zhou Dazhu turned the ox cart around and left the village, heading towards the city.
At this time, Mrs. Mo heard the sound of cows mooing, and suddenly woke up, got out of bed, put on her clothes, rushed out of the house, and then opened the gate of the yard.
The gate was empty and there was nothing there.
She went around to the back door, but still didn't see the ox cart there.
Oops!
If you get up late, everyone will leave.
Gu Ximing followed her out, but he didn’t know what his wife was going to do?
He asked curiously, "Wife, what's going on?"
