Chapter 64: Check-in at the bank!
Gu Lianshan knew that he could not persuade his daughter, so he did not try to persuade her. After all, she would back out after seeing the prices of the food in the restaurant tomorrow.
After eating and drinking, the father and his two sons went back to their rooms to sleep.
The inn provides quilts. I don’t know what’s inside them. They are not soft, but thick enough.
The rooms in this inn are all built with blue bricks, with thick walls and good cold protection.
Covering themselves with a quilt and then their clothes, they were much warmer than sleeping at home.
That night, except for Gu Tang who was not too cold at home, Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an slept a full night's sleep in winter for the first time.
In the past, when I was at home, I would wake up from the cold once or twice every night. Today, it was really a rare day when I could sleep through the night.
When Gu Tang got up and asked how the father and son slept, the quick-talking Gu Ping'an immediately told him happily.
Gu Tang knew this. Before she came here, the original owner had also survived like this year after year.
She could empathize with how uncomfortable it felt.
After helping Gu Ping'an tidy up his clothes, she said, "Let's go have a 'meat feast' first, and then go find a dental clinic. After we finish the house business, we'll go buy some furs to make quilts."
If his daughter hadn't had a warm sleep yet, Gu Lianshan would definitely not be willing to let her spend this money.
But now that I have experienced that feeling, I don’t want to be woken up by the cold every night anymore.
After thinking for a while, Gu Lianshan gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Dad won't talk about paying you back, and Dad can't pay it back, but today Dad promises you that if the family is divided in the future, no matter what Dad has, you and your elder brother will each have a share!
Fields, land, houses, etc., as long as Dad has them, you can inherit a share just like your elder brothers and younger brothers. From now on, you will be the 'second kid' in our family!"
ah?!
Gu Tang was dumbfounded and blurted out subconsciously: She changed from a female to a male?
After understanding what her father meant, Gu Tang finally realized the significance of his words.
Her eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to ask, "If that's what you said, would you be willing to give me a daughter-in-law in the future?"
"Establish a female household?" Gu Lianshan was shocked. "Girl, do you know what a 'female household' is?"
"I know that women who have been established as female households can set up their own households just like men and show their faces in public. No one dares to say anything bad about them anymore!"
"This is just the surface!" Gu Lianshan counted on his fingers and explained to her one by one: "If you establish a female household, you will have to bear taxes, grain taxes, corvée labor, military service, etc.!
As for marriage, most women can only marry a son-in-law, not a man! This is because when a woman marries, she has to pay taxes together with her husband's family. Under the double tax, the family will definitely be broken up!
If a female household wants to marry a son-in-law, the man who marries into the household can rely on the female household like the female, and only needs to pay one tax. But since ancient times, how many men who are willing to marry into the household are good? Not to mention that all of them are ugly, but few of them are good people either! "
These words did not scare Gu Tang, but made her more satisfied with her choice.
"Those taxes are reasonable. Since I have obtained the qualification to set up a household, I should also bear the associated responsibilities.
As for marriage, I am still young, so I can slowly find a husband. Besides, if the son-in-law is not a good person, I can just drive him out and leave the husband and the son.
I can earn money on my own, and I will stay by your side and not marry someone else. I also have Ping An to look after me. Who would dare to bully me? By then, I will have money, a father and brothers, so why should I worry about not having a good life? "
You know what, after Gu Tang’s twisted logic, Gu Lianshan was slightly shaken.
If his daughter could stay under his nose for a long time, he would wake up laughing in his dreams!
He glanced at his son, who clapped his hands with shining eyes, "Second sister, this is a good idea! If you establish a female household, choose a plot of land in the village to build a house in the future, and we two siblings can live together for a long time. There is no one closer than us!"
"Look? Ping'an has agreed!" Gu Tang tugged at her father's clothes and pestered him to agree.
Gu Lianshan said: "After you finish your work, I will go to the government office to ask about the rules for establishing a household for a daughter. Besides, it is impossible to do it for the time being without a household registration or a place to stay..."
"I didn't say I'd do it right away. You have to agree to it first!" Gu Tang was not someone who could be fooled easily. She continued to pester her father to agree first.
Gu Lianshan was so annoyed by her that he could only nod and agree: "Okay, okay, okay! It's up to you!"
Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Her father was more open-minded than she thought.
After this was settled, the father and his two sons left the inn and went to find a restaurant to have an all-meat banquet.
Before eating the all-meat banquet, Gu Tang said he wanted to go to the money shop first to get a silver note and exchange it for cash.
Of course, this is just a superficial statement.
In fact, Gu Tang was planning to sign in at the money house to see if he could sign out some silver!
After arriving at the money shop, Gu Tang gave a twenty-liang silver note to her father and asked her father to take Gu Ping'an to exchange it, while she waited at the door.
After the father and son entered the money shop, Gu Tang closed his eyes and prayed silently to God.
Then call out the system panel and start signing in——
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in and receiving ten copper coins! ]
ah……
Gu Tang was dumbfounded. Ten cents?!
She hurriedly put her hands into her sleeves, secretly took out the sign-in rewards, and counted them one by one in front of her.
One, two, three...eight, nine, ten!!!
Ten cents, really ten cents...
Gu Tang covered his chest, his heart ached!
If you sign in in the mountains, it will cost more than ten cents to sign in a random living creature!
What is this? To stop her from getting something for nothing?
Gu Tang chewed his fingers, thinking non-stop in his mind, and felt that the system should not be so stupid.
Is it a matter of probability?
For example, if she is unlucky today, and among the many rewards, she signs in with the least?
Or does the system have restrictions on sign-in items such as silver?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She shook her head to clear her mind.
Ten cents, right?
It's okay! She'll come again tomorrow!
She just didn't believe it, she could earn ten cents every day!
It's all about chance. If she wins once, it might be enough to cover her income from running around in the mountains.
After making up her mind, Gu Tang began to think of ways to delay time. She had to delay her father and make him stay in Bei'an City for a few more days.
Not long after, Gu Lianshan and his son, who had gone into the bank to exchange silver, came out one after another, their faces not looking very good.
Gu Tang's heart skipped a beat. Why did he look like that? Was the banknote fake?
Before Gu Tang could step forward, she saw her father mumbling something, and it looked like he was scolding someone.
Because the voice was too soft, Gu Tang couldn't hear clearly who he was scolding.
But at this moment, there is no need to think about it, he must be scolding the people in the money house.
This made Gu Tang more convinced that the banknotes were fake!
She glared at him and asked, "Dad, is this banknote fake?!"
Gu Lianshan, who was cursing vigorously, suddenly came to his senses, with a confused look on his face, and did not hear what Gu Tang had just said.
