Chapter 008 It's all her fault
When Li Mumu returned the banknote to Madam Gu, Zhang Xiang not only did not get angry, but also smiled and said, "Captain Ling is really a straightforward person."
Everyone was confused, but what was strange was that Zhang Xiang still told them to keep it safe and then left.
"This..." Madam Gu held up the banknote, "This...what's going on?"
Zhang Yi and Gu Yuru shook their heads, but Song Qiang didn't bother to think about it and quickly glanced at the banknote, "Only two hundred taels."
Old Madam Gu frowned. It was only two hundred taels, so the yamen runners wouldn't look down on it. How much was their salary?
"Two hundred taels is Yun He's savings over the years. He's just a lieutenant, and this is more than his salary for two years. It's one thing for the Second Brother's family to be ungrateful, but you actually despise it?"
Old Madam Gu couldn't help it. She was not an easy-to-control person to begin with. When she was young, she had dealt with a lot of young ladies who loved to find fault.
Song Qiang closed her mouth reluctantly. After all, she was afraid that the old lady would bring up the fact that no one from the Song family was there, which would be even more embarrassing.
"He doesn't want so much money? Give it back to us? Mom, what is he thinking?" Gu Yuru felt that Zhang Xiang was a greedy person. How could he return the banknotes he had obtained?
Something is fishy!
Several people thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out.
Of course they couldn't figure it out.
Li Mumu smiled awkwardly.
Just as Zhang Xiang was about to come over, she quickly entered the space and wrote a letter quickly. When the banknote reached her hands, it had turned into that letter.
She wrote the letter in the name of Ling Yunhe, saying that as long as Zhang Xiang escorted them safely to the north, he would receive a reward of 500 taels.
Zhang Xiang naturally couldn't tell whose handwriting was whose, and he was immediately overjoyed when he saw the five hundred taels of silver.
It was just a letter, he didn't want it.
Using the same method, Li Mumu turned the letter into a banknote when she got it back.
But Zhang Xiang never knew about the banknote.
As for the five hundred taels of reward, Zhang Xiang was ordered to go back and get it first.
"Is this for people to eat? I don't want to eat it? Where is the cake that silly girl went to get? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Li Rong's sharp voice broke the silence.
Li Mumu sneered. This was exile. How could it be considered her warm home?
It’s good enough if she eats something, but if she doesn’t, then forget it. Just one meal a day, and see what she does at night?
Old Mrs. Li also looked in the direction of the Gu family and sighed. Everyone knew what she meant without having to explain it.
Mr. Gu sat down with the help of his sons. "Madam, we can't finish all the food in a short time. Let's share some with them."
Just as Li Mumu was thinking about how to make her grandfather give up his good intentions, she heard her gentle and kind grandmother roar: "If you can't finish it, eat more. Are you afraid of being too full?"
Li Mumu was stunned, and the dozen or so members of the Gu family fell silent.
Mr. Gu didn't get angry, as if he was used to it. "What's wrong, Madam?"
"Don't worry about this matter." Madam Gu said coldly.
Li Mumu saw that her grandfather, who was so majestic outside, was now as obedient as a cat. She had to hold back her laughter. She didn't expect that her grandfather was a henpecked husband.
But it’s good, my grandmother is a clear-headed person.
Madam Gu seemed more angry at the Li family, "Yuru, take these back and eat them for you and the children. Remember, this is only for you and the children."
If it were before, Gu Yuru would definitely prioritize her elders and husband, but now, she is not a clay figure without temper. After taking it, she nodded and said, "I understand."
Then, she took her daughter back to the Gu family. The two families sat so clearly separated that if you didn't know, you would think they had some deep hatred.
Li Yuan saw that the mother and daughter had returned with food, which was much better than the watery porridge and the sour steamed buns that were so thick and irritating to the throat that they had just been given.
But he still looked unhappy. "Why is there only so little? There are so many people, how can it be enough?"
He came up and was about to take the food from Gu Yuru's hand, but Gu Yuru dodged it.
"What are you doing?" Li Yuan suddenly became angry and spoke in a fierce tone.
Gu Yuru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should we divide it? This is what mother gave to me and the children."
After hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes widened, as if he didn't understand. "Then what about my mother? What about Siyan? What about me?"
Li Mumu pointed at the cake that had been trampled into a mess by someone and said, "Dad, eat it!"
"Get out!" Li Yuan stomped on him a few more times, as if he was not satisfied.
Li Mumu believed that if he could lift his leg, he would definitely kick her.
Unfortunately, he can only be furious and helpless.
"There will be retribution for wasting food." Li Mumu reminded, blinking her innocent big eyes.
She didn't lie, just wait and see if you don't believe me.
"Shut up." Li Yuan roared angrily.
"Gu Yuru, I can forgive you for letting that silly girl harm Siyan, but the premise is that you stop making trouble and quickly get more. Siyan is still pregnant."
Lin Siyan shook her head. "I'm fine. It's just that the old lady is old. It's not okay for her to eat these. Her body won't be able to handle it."
If it really is green tea, Li Mumu doesn’t believe that if her mother really brought it to her, Lin Siyan would not refuse to eat it.
Old Lady Li swallowed her saliva but said nothing. She just curled her lips and looked at Gu Yuru, then sighed heavily, deliberately letting others hear it.
"Alas~"
Seeing the Li family members surrounding them, Li Mumu quickly put the food in her hand into her mouth and shared it with her three brothers.
The people from the Li family did not come to snatch it, after all, they thought Gu Yuru would go home to get it.
Seeing the children wolfing down their food, Gu Yuru felt a pang of pain in her heart and asked coldly, "Don't you think my mother's food is dirty?"
Li Yuan frowned, "I...when did I say that? Who told you?"
He looked at Li Mumu, who was munching on a meat bun. "You idiot, what did you tell your mother?"
Seeing her daughter being scolded, Gu Yuru hugged her in her arms.
Li Mumu felt warm in her heart, then smiled innocently and said in an extremely serious and pious tone: "Dad said it's dirty, I won't eat it."
"Yes, I said the bread is dirty and can't be eaten. Ask your mother to bring clean ones." Li Yuan said, "What an idiot, did you say it wrong?"
Li Mumu looked innocent.
"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked her to pass the message. Yu Ru, go get some back." This time, his tone was a little softer.
Li Mumu was surprised. "But grandma said no, she only gave it to mom, brothers, and Mumu. No!"
I just want to ask you if you are angry?
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and was about to share the little girl's buns with everyone, but when he looked, he saw that she had already eaten all of them, not only hers, but also her sons'.
Now there are only two big buns left in Gu Yuru's hands.
Everyone in the Li family is watching.
Gu Yuru already had a plan in mind, but when she didn't want to hear the words from Li Yuan's mouth, her heart still shuddered.
"Then don't eat it. Give one to mom and one to Siyan!"
