Chapter 100: The whole family is happy



After hearing this, Gu Yanzhang put down the basket on his back carefully.

He also took the basket off the back of his eldest son Gu Dazhu and said, "Why are you being polite to me? When your father was still alive, he helped my mother a lot. I still remember those things in my heart."

"Come, come and have a look. These are three pieces of clothes that my wife has mended herself. One is for adults, and two are for children. These are the clothes we have worn before, but they have been mended and washed. When I was leaving, my wife reminded me that if you don't like them, I will take them back..."

As soon as these words fell, Yu Dahu's two biological sons, the brothers Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui, reacted extremely strongly.

They seemed to be angry, and said in an excited voice, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"These are such nice clothes, how could we reject them?!"

"We are such poor people, and we are so happy to have a few warm clothes to wear. Brother, please don't say such things again. We are not the kind of people who don't know what is good for us..."

"Yes, yes, brother, if we go to the town to buy these nice clothes, we will have to spend dozens of coins!"

Seeing that Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui's wives were smiling after getting the clothes, Gu Yanzhang nodded slightly in his heart. Then he took out the things in another basket bit by bit.

The first thing he took out was two pieces of bacon with a hole tied in it with a hemp rope.

When the people in the room, including the villagers outside, saw the two pieces of bacon, their mouths watered.

Yu Ping'an, Yu Fugui and the other five brothers were extremely satisfied with their eldest cousin Gu Yanzhang.

The eldest cousin was really generous.

These two pieces of bacon together weighed at least 10 catties!

Meat is so valuable nowadays!

A catty of meat in the town costs at least 40 coins.

The price of bacon seems to be even more expensive.

So, these two pieces of bacon together are worth about 600 to 700 coins, right? !

Thinking of how generous their eldest cousin was when he did give, the eyes of the people in the Yu family looked at Gu Yanzhang even brighter.

Especially those people in the village, their faces were full of envy.

They stood aside, staring at the two pieces of bacon, and some people even said, "What a good relative!"

"People outside their village have a better life. Ping An, Fu Gui and the other five brothers will have a prosperous New Year this year~!"

Hearing what the villagers said, Ping An, Fu Gui and the others, who were young, had wrinkles on their faces.

Their widowed mother suddenly sped up the speed of killing chickens and plucking feathers.

Even the corners of her originally suppressed mouth flashed a happy smile.

It seems that the Gu family's marriage is still undecided.

Look, look, how generous their family is!

Those nice clothes cost a dozen coins. And those two pieces of bacon cost almost six hundred coins.

Thinking that these nice things could be exchanged for real copper plates in a few days, and their thatched houses could be renovated, and maybe they could even build a new house, her old face glowed with a noticeable red.

Just as she was thinking that she wouldn't have to worry about being frozen to death this winter, a few more shouts of surprise came from the crowd that had already gathered over there.

"Brother, since you're here, why do you bring so many nice things?"

Gu Yanzhang heard this and handed the sorghum seeds in the sack to Yu Ping'an.

"It's just a few dozen pounds of sorghum, what a good thing! Come, take it quickly. There are some things in my basket that I haven't taken out yet."

After saying this, Gu Yanzhang handed the two particularly large pickles in the basket to Yu Fugui.

Finally, he took out 10 eggs.

In Yujia Village, there are men who are particularly good at living, and they are the best at accounting.

They carefully looked at the things that Gu Yanzhang took out.

After counting, they found that Gu Yanzhang was really generous.

The things given by such a relative are almost worth one or two taels of silver.

What kind of relative is this?

This is obviously a boy who sends wealth!

When they thought of this, the people who were close to Yu Ping'an and Yu Fugui could not help but shout, "Ping'an and Fugui, you are rich today!" Yu

Ping'an and Yu Fugui's smiles froze when they heard this. When

they heard this, they knew what their clansmen were going to do.

They had already made up their minds. When Gu Yanzhang and his family left, they would either return these good things intact, or quietly go to Tongzhen and sell them all.

Then, they would exchange them for a batch of Jiang's bricks.

In this way, they would not have to worry about anyone in their family being frozen to death this winter.

After welcoming Gu Yanzhang and his friends into the house warmly, they put out the dining table that had not been used for a long time.

The black table with a layer of pulp on it was actually a square table that was one meter wide and one meter long.

This thing is an antique.

It has a history of almost 100 years.

It was an old item made by Yu Dahu's grandfather himself. It is not worth much.

However, no matter how worthless it is, in the eyes of farmers, it is still a very good thing.

After the dining table was set, Yu Ping'an's daughter-in-law personally served them a big bowl of tea.

"Brother, nephew, have some tea."

After Gu Yanzhang nodded, he took out a few buns that he had hidden close to his body.

"My wife asked me to bring these dumplings with me when I went out. I almost forgot about them."

Yu Fugui saw this and swallowed his saliva subconsciously. Then, he quickly called his wife and asked her to take all the goodies over to heat them up and put them on the table later. He had to eat with his brothers.

"Brother, your visit this time is really expensive. You said you would come, so you came. And you brought such good things, which really made us feel uneasy... We brothers are so happy that you are thinking about us. When next spring comes, we must help you to cultivate all the fields, and open up a few more acres of wasteland for your family..."

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhang shook his head, "My family only has a few acres of land, there is no need to trouble you. I came this time because I actually have a very important matter to discuss with you..."
