Chapter 37 Black Market, Gu Jiajie Knows Everything
When Chen Hong saw so much money, her eyes widened.
Gu Jin suggested: "Let's count together. I don't know how long I'll have to count this much money by myself."
"OK!"
Chen Hong was the first to take action. She grabbed a handful of money, stacked it up and began to count.
Uncle Gu and Grandpa Gu folded up the money and sorted it out. Brother and sister Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin also helped.
There is strength in numbers, and the final number of money was quickly reached, which was a total of one hundred and twenty-six yuan and fifty cents.
This number shocked the Gu family.
Nowadays, the average worker’s monthly salary is only about 30 yuan, and the income from the fields is only a few months’ income for an average worker in a year.
But today, they earn several months' salary of an ordinary worker and more than a year's income from the fields in just one day by selling pork.
Chen Hong swallowed and said, "How do we divide this much money?"
She naturally felt that she should have a share of such a large amount of money.
Mr. Gu was very quiet and did not refute his eldest daughter-in-law's words.
Gu Dechang and Gu Minmin had already stared at each other in amazement, not knowing what to say.
Gu Jiajie stared at the money on the table, his eyes flickering. Although nothing could be seen on his face, his heart was already churning.
At this moment, Gu Jin moved.
She reached into the pile of money and pulled out seven or eight one-yuan credit notes and a handful of Mao Zedong's bills, about twenty yuan in total.
She pushed all the remaining money in front of Chen Hong.
Although Mr. Gu is the head of the family, he makes the decisions on major matters, and the family's food and drink expenses are all borne by Chen Hong.
"Aunt, take this money. It will be used as Xiao An's and my future expenses at home. The child is still growing and needs to eat more eggs and meat to supplement his body."
“…”
Looking at the pile of money pushed in front of her, Chen Hong opened her mouth slightly, her face full of disbelief.
It was not until Gu Jiajie, who was standing beside her, pushed her that she came to her senses.
She suddenly stretched out her arms, picked up the money on the table, and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely give him more eggs, and there will be enough meat at home!"
This money can buy eggs and meat for a long time, so how could she not know that she was getting a good deal?
This money is about a hundred yuan.
Chen Hong's heart was beating fast, which made her very excited.
Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Jin obliquely and tapped the pipe in his hand.
Everyone looked over.
The old man said, "Jin girl is thoughtful, and the eldest daughter-in-law should not be too stingy. Xiao An is a good child."
"I know, Dad!"
Chen Hong put the money in her arms into the cloth bag, and the loud sound scared Uncle Gu and Gu Minmin who were standing beside her.
Looking at this family, Gu Jin smiled and stood up to prepare stewed pig intestines and livers.
While Gu Jin was making braised pork, the Gu family had dispersed without them knowing. Only Gu Jiajie was left in the medium-sized kitchen. He sat on a bench and stared at Gu Jin's busy back.
His expression was gloomy and unclear, and he seemed to have a thousand words to say.
Gu Jin cut the pig's internal organs into pieces and slices and put them into the pot. After adding seasoning and water, he sat on a bench and started to light the fire.
After the fire started, she turned her head to look at Gu Jiajie who was sitting next to her, and said with a smile: "Why isn't your cousin going to bed yet?"
Gu Jiajie narrowed his eyes and answered irrelevantly: "Xiao Jin, what time do you plan to go to the county?"
Gu Jin smiled when he heard that.
Thinking back to when her cousin had covered for her before, she realized that he knew the market situation in the county.
