Su Qi didn't say anything else, as long as she achieved her goal. She had to be lenient with Jinli's mother.
"Maybe I was wrong. I thought my sister-in-law's family would definitely bring mountains of gold and silver." Su Qi covered her nose with a handkerchief. "It seems that our daughters who are married are like water poured out of the door. Their status cannot be compared with the previous one."
Without even looking at Fang Xiaoya's angry eyes, he took his backpack and bag over.
Zhang Yunyu and several concubines stretched their necks to see what was inside. There were only a few thick clothes, white flour buns and dumplings, and some medicinal pills.
There are several strings of copper coins and several taels of silver.
Tsk tsk tsk~
Zhang Yunyu glanced at him with disdain, "Beiheng family, you are not hiding anything, are you?"
Su Qi feigned sadness and shook her head, "Mother, what you said makes me feel ashamed. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. The person who came to my house was my half-sister.
What good things can a married concubine's daughter have? Even this was secretly bought and sent to me."
Everyone agreed with this.
Which concubine's daughter has money?
Zhang Yunyu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it...
Su Qi met Zhang Yunyu and Fang Xiaoya's suspicious gazes and walked over confidently. "Sister-in-law, you and Beihe can just search me. It's just the beginning of autumn, where can I hide even if I wanted to?"
"I'm afraid that people who hide their evil intentions will always hide their secrets from others." Su Qi opened his arms and said with a double meaning.
Fang Xiaoya's palms were sweaty. How did this bitch know she was hiding something? The other people weren't much better...
Aunt Liu was so frightened that she kept praying for Buddha's blessing.
She didn't know where Su Qi hid the money.
It was all my own fault, but seeing her confident look, I felt a little suspicious.
The old lady sat not far from Zhang Yunyu, half-opening her eyes and pretending to sleep. She pricked up her ears to listen to what these people were saying, and knew that Su Qi's family really had not sent anything.
He sighed heavily.
"Hey, old man. A big tree has branches, and many people have branches." The old lady thought that she should not take on too much at this time.
We must focus on protecting the most important children.
He glanced at Gu Jingfeng, who was sitting next to him, still reciting ancient poetry. Then he looked at Dabao and Erbao, the two little naughty monkeys, who were having a lot of fun chasing the two children from the side branches outside.
His body was also dirty, and he curled his lips in disgust.
I have an idea in mind.
Old Man Gu had said very little during his exile, lying in a wheelbarrow and being pushed. At night, when he arrived at the post station, his children and grandchildren carried him in. Now, he had a sullen face and was silent.
Su Qi naturally wanted to split up the family.
"What are you dividing up?" Su Qi raised her voice, causing the others to look over. "We're not dividing up. I'll hand over all my property.
Here are two taels of silver coins. Grandma, you can't be so partial.
Are you going to leave our family to starve? The journey is long and arduous, so we need to spend money to buy some food. We can buy land and build a house in Jinyang Prefecture. When Dabao and Erbao grow up, we will have to discuss marriages. I might even be pregnant with another child.
Su Qi touched her shriveled belly and glared at Gu Beiheng in reproach.
The more Mrs. Gu listened, the more frightened she became.
Zhang Yunyu and Fang Xiaoya also had plans in mind.
This one.
Must be divided.
An old man from the side branch, about the same age as Mr. Gu, coughed. "We can't split up the family. Wouldn't that push Beiheng's family out?"
This year's harvest isn't very good. We're going to spend a lot of money on this trip." The old man meant well.
You have to help all your children and grandchildren.
But his words made everyone in Mr. Gu's family fall into deep thought.
This one.
Must be divided.
"Let's split up."
Zhang Yunyu looked at the three melons and two dates in Su Qi's backpack and sneered.
In the past, the tips given to beggars were much more than this.
Aunt Liu turned pale with fear, but she couldn't let them split up.
When a family is together, there is always someone to rely on.
When you get to Jinyang Prefecture, you need someone to help you.
"I still have some. Madam, please don't divide the family." Aunt Liu took off the basket on her back, revealing the things inside, including a few copper coins and two taels and five cents of silver in small change.
Aunt Liu said hurriedly: "These are all for you, all for you."
Zhang Yunyu's face turned even uglier. He had thought that Aunt Liu's brother would come over and give him some silver ingots, but who knew he would just send him away like that?
"Master, please don't split up the family because I've served you for all these years. Beiheng is also your son. Didn't you say that Beiheng is a promising child?"
Aunt Liu looked at everyone's gloomy faces and felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi stepped forward at the same time to help Aunt Liu up. "Mom, don't kneel to him."
Gu Wushen's eyes darkened, and he slammed his hands on the table. "Rebellious son, your mother is sitting here. That's your aunt."
Gu Beiheng smiled coldly and helped Aunt Liu walk back.
"Mom, your uncle told you to listen to me in everything."
Aunt Liu wiped her tears with her sleeves, worried:
"Beiheng. Your father is right. From now on, you should still call me aunt."
"I know what is right and wrong." Gu Beiheng took Aunt Liu out of the house.
Su Qi stayed behind to put away the two backpacks. She stared at the Gu family with disdain:
"Aren't you just afraid that we'll become dependent on you? Let me tell you, we haven't split up yet. Don't think you'll have a good life while we starve."
Su Qi cast a sinister gaze upon Mr. Gu and his wife, and spat at them with disdain.
"The top beam is not straight."
She walked out carrying two backpacks. She had to break away from these selfish people as soon as possible.
Mr. Gu was so angry that he pounded the table.
The feng shui of the ancestral grave is bad, and marrying into the family will bring bad luck.
When Su Qi walked out, Gu Beiheng had already bought a separate room from Old Huang.
It is also a large bunk bed.
It can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time.
Old Huang weighed the silver in his hand and said, "Gu Beiheng. Don't tell others how much silver I charged you. This is the price given to you alone." Old Huang received a request from his good friend, asking him to take care of Gu Beiheng along the way.
"Thank you, Huangtou. I won't say anything more."
Gu Beiheng clasped his fists and walked out.
After fetching water and returning to the room, I found only Aunt Liu sitting on the bed, wiping her tears.
He didn't know how to comfort Aunt Liu, so he simply left the house to get back the steamed buns and vegetable soup for dinner.
The family ate steamed buns in the evening.
As well as roast chicken and some braised pork head. These were all sent by Gu Beiheng's uncle.
Gu Beiheng ate a steamed bun and then picked up a cornbread on the table to eat.
Su Qi stuffed a steamed bun into his hand.
"Eat. I'll have to rely on you to calm down those malicious people along the way."
"Leave it for you, mother, and the children."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu also put down the steamed bun in her hand and looked up at Bei Heng reluctantly. "I'm old and useless. You eat steamed buns and I eat cornbread."
Su Qi simply couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He waved his hand and said, "Eat it all. Don't worry, we have money in our hands. Beiheng and I are young and strong, so we are not afraid."
"If you don't eat, my son and I won't eat either." Su Qi stopped.
The two little guys, Dabao and Erbao, quickly shut their mouths and kept still. Their eyes rolled around, indicating that they had to listen to their mother.
Gu Beiheng shook his head and chuckled.
I am not even as good as Qiqi, a woman.
"Qiqi is right, things will get better in the future."
After dinner.
Dabao and Erbao went to bed quickly.
Gu Beiheng brought over two basins of water, one for Aunt Liu to soak her feet.
A basin of water for Su Qi to soak her feet.
Aunt Liu turned her back to Gu Beiheng and Su Qi and carefully soaked her feet, constantly wiping away her tears while soaking.
Gu Beiheng still soaked Su Qi's feet first, and then soaked his own feet.
the next day.
Morning.
Gu Wushen came to Gu Beiheng's house while chewing a steamed bun, and met Gu Beiheng who was opening the door and going out.
"Dad, are you here to see Mom?"
Gu Wushen said awkwardly:
"I came to see you."
"What happened?" Gu Beiheng probably knew what happened, but he still felt a little disappointed.
"Beiheng, let's split up." Gu Wushen sighed deeply, "We'll split up when we get to Fengling Ferry."
"Um."
Gu Wushen's eyes fell on Gu Beiheng. He had sent Beiheng to the army because he wanted him to gain military merit and support his eldest son. However, he hadn't expected that this would only make the emperor even more wary of the Gu family. Inwardly, he could only shake his head and sigh at his son.
Su Qi came out of the house.
Only Gu Beiheng was standing outside in a daze. "Beiheng, why are you in a daze? The sun is about to come out, we have to hurry."
"Yeah. Dad just came over and told me about the branch at Fengling Ferry."
Su Qi was very happy in her heart, and it showed on her face.
"Okay. Don't give the vampire leeches a chance to get close to you."
Gu Beiheng:...How come the loss and sadness that we agreed on turned into a good thing for you?
