Chapter 148 Gu Bei Borrows Money
"Well, what? Third brother, this is all just mother and your second sister-in-law's nonsense. I know nothing about it.
If I had known, I would never have let them come and talk nonsense.
Don't worry, I'll take care of your second sister-in-law when I get back." Gu Bei quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"You..." Li Yingdi opened his mouth to refute.
"Shut up. I'll deal with you when we get back." Gu Bei shouted and winked at Li Ying.
Li Yingdi knew himself. Men are very cunning, and this guy might be up to something bad.
She stopped talking and looked at what Gu Bei wanted to do.
Gu Yan just watched their performance quietly.
"Third brother, I'll take mother and the others back first. I'll come to see you another day." After saying this, Gu Bei hurried away with Zhang Dahua and Li Yingdi.
Zhang Dahua is still a little confused now. She is not a smart person and is easily influenced.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for Gu Bei's trick.
She just didn't understand. She came here to ease the relationship with her son, so why did her son end up disowning her?
"Second brother, didn't you say that the third brother would definitely agree?
What should I do now? What should I do if the third brother really doesn't recognize me? Second brother, please think of a solution for me." On the way back, Zhang Dahua became a little scared.
"What can I do? Who told you to tell me when you get there? Didn't I tell you to find an opportunity? Find an opportunity.
"The third brother's family is in the house. Even if he wants to, he can't admit it, right?" Gu Bei complained.
"How should I know? What should I do now? Your father didn't let me come in the first place. If he knew that I not only came but also offended the third brother, he would definitely fight with me." Zhang Dahua was scared after realizing it belatedly.
"Then don't let Dad know. I'll come over again this afternoon. I don't believe that the third brother is so stubborn.
Besides, I'm not asking for it for free, I paid for it too." Gu Bei said.
"Boss, what about Zhaodi's matter?" Li Yingdi asked.
"Let's forget about Zhaodi's matter. The third brother's family has a son, and he won't divorce her anytime soon." Gu Bei said.
He was originally the daughter of the third brother and his family, so he was confident that the third brother could remarry.
"But I have already told my parents, and Zhaodi is waiting to come home. What should I do now?" Li Yingdi said hesitantly.
"Why are you talking so fast? Who told you to talk to them first?
I don’t care, go explain it to them yourself.” Gu Bei said.
"That's right, your sister is not a good person either. How come she has never seen a man?" Zhang Dahua also said.
Li Yingdi glared at Zhang Dahua obscurely, cursing inwardly, "This old hag, why is she so troublesome? I'll wait until I fall into her hands in the future, and I'll make her pay."
I thought so in my heart, but I said timidly: "I am thinking that with my mother's help, I will definitely succeed.
Who knew that the third brother would be so disrespectful? Who knew what kind of magic potion Li Wanqing had given the third brother to make him obey her every word?
"As expected of a maid from a wealthy family, she's quite cunning.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have agreed to let the third brother marry her.
It’s all because of her that the third brother broke up with me.” Zhang Dahua felt resentful when she thought about how well Gu Yan was doing while she couldn’t even benefit from his good life.
But she forgot that the reason why Gu Yan lived a good life was because of Li Wanqing.
Gu Yan was originally an ordinary mountain man, and it was because of marrying Li Wanqing that he became...
Li Wanqing took him to dig and prepare medicinal herbs.
And because Li Wanqing has space, Gu Yan can go hunting large beasts with confidence to make money.
And you can walk farther and catch more without worrying about not getting them back.
All this is because of Li Wanqing.
The three of them returned home. Gu Xiang was picking wild vegetables. Winter was coming soon, so they had to dry more vegetables, otherwise there would be nothing to eat in the winter.
"Mom, you are back? Have you seen my little niece? Is she pretty?" Gu Xiang asked.
Zhang Dahua was stunned, and she said that she had forgotten something. It turned out that she had not seen the child from the third brother's family.
But it’s not her fault. Who made the third brother not listen to her?
Seeing that Zhang Dahua didn't say anything, Gu Xiang called out again, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah? Oh, nothing. Xiang, you can mix some flour later and we can make shepherd's purse dumplings for lunch.
Stew another chicken. Your second brother finally came back, so make him something good to nourish him," Zhang Dahua instructed.
"Mom, mom, come in." Gu Bei and Li Yingdi had already entered the house.
"Hey, what is it?" Zhang Dahua agreed and walked in.
"Mom, don't tell my dad about what happened today, otherwise he will scold me again.
Also, Mom, it’s time to pay the rent for your shop. You know, business has been bad recently, and Yingdi has a child.
"Mom, can you lend me some money first? I'll pay you back when I recover." Gu Bei said the second purpose of their return today.
"I have to pay rent for the shop so soon? How much is the rent?" Zhang Dahua felt nervous when she heard Gu Bei asking for money.
"The rent is five taels of silver a month, sixty taels a year." Gu Bei said.
"Sixty taels? So much? How much do you have now?" Zhang Dahua exclaimed.
"We have ten taels now." Gu Yan also felt embarrassed and said in a low voice.
But he quickly continued, "But this year I've made up my mind. I'm going to turn the grocery store into a food store.
The grocery store only sells needles and thread, so it doesn't make much money.
The food store is different; you can earn more money and it’s not as complicated.”
Zhang Dahua is not as optimistic as Gu Bei. First of all, it is not easy to raise the rent.
Gu Bei only had ten taels of silver in his hand, so he was short of fifty taels.
Where could she find fifty taels of silver to give him?
Last year, when the fourth son got married, all the money in the family was spent.
This year, the man has been very busy, hunting hard every day, hoping to make more money.
Even so, after spending money on food and drink, he only saved six taels of silver that year.
However, the old man had already told her that this silver was saved as a dowry for her.
Gu Xiang is thirteen years old this year and will be getting married in two years. They have four sons and only this one daughter.
They must prepare more dowry for their daughter.
"Second brother, we don't have any money at home, so I'm afraid we can't help you." Zhang Dahua said after a moment of silence.
"Mom? How could you not have money? My dad goes to sell his prey every few days. I've seen it several times. How could you not have money?" Gu Bei didn't expect Zhang Dahua to refuse.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what request he made, Zhang Dahua would find a way to get it done for him and never refused.
"Why not? You know, renting the shop for you and buying the goods cost over a hundred taels of silver.
When the family didn't have enough money, your father borrowed it from your second uncle.
To tell you the truth, I haven't paid back the money I borrowed from your second uncle yet."
