Chapter 87 Zhang is back with her two children!
The snack that Gu Tang asked her father to buy was something called "Date Paste Crisp". It was said to be made of date paste, flour and maltose. It was very sweet!
The first time Gu Tang ate this thing, he spit it out directly. It was too sweet!
There is no taste other than sweet.
They say that date paste is added in it, but when you eat it, there is no date paste fragrance at all.
But even such pastries are not cheap at all and are extremely popular.
There is no other reason, it’s just because it’s sweet enough!
If it's sweet enough, it means the store is not cheating and uses real ingredients. Besides, if you think it's too sweet, you can buy it back and eat it as candy.
Gu Tang doesn't like to eat it, but her father and Gu Ping'an like it very much.
And the villagers, whenever they buy snacks, all choose this kind of sweet snacks.
After eating it last time, Gu Tang swore that he would never touch it again in his life, so the snack he bought today was not for himself.
"I didn't buy this for myself, I bought this as a gift."
Unable to bear the thought of her father casually stuffing snacks into the luggage, Gu Tang took over and said, "Be careful not to crush them!"
Sitting on the ox cart, Gu Lianshan drove out of the city and asked casually, "Who are you going to send?"
"Whose ox cart did you borrow?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lianshan immediately understood: "Are you planning to give a gift to your sixth cousin?"
"Is this ox cart borrowed from my sixth cousin's house?" Gu Tang tilted his head to look at the ox in front of him. He didn't see the scar on its butt, so this was not the same ox as before.
"You said earlier that you would stay in Bei'an City for a few days, but you didn't say exactly how many days you would stay. Who would dare to lend out an ox for so many days? Only your sixth cousin is close to your father and me, so he borrowed the ox cart from me."
That's true. The cow is the most important property of the family. Who would dare to lend it out like this unless they are familiar with it?
Gu Tang patted the snacks in his hand and said, "This is good for keeping the wealth within the family. If I had known that the ox cart you borrowed belonged to my sixth cousin, I would have bought two more bags and sent them to him together."
Gu Lianshan chuckled and said, "Your sixth cousin is a very honest person. If you give him too much, he will definitely not accept it. These three bags of snacks are just right!"
The ox cart didn't dare to go too fast in the city, it could only sway slowly. Gu Tang yawned as he swayed - he didn't sleep well last night!
I don’t know what I dreamed about and I can’t remember it no matter how hard I try. This is really the first time.
Wrapping himself in the rabbit skin blanket, Gu Tang handed the snacks to Gu Ping'an and planned to take a nap on the luggage at the back.
Gu Lianshan chose a shortcut out of the city, which required him to pass by the bank where Gu Tang and his friends had withdrawn money previously.
Gu Tang saw the two big words "Money House" in a daze, and he straightened up in an instant and became alert immediately.
I haven't signed in today. How about trying again?
Gu Tang did not give up and was eager to make a move!
Seeing that the ox cart was about to leave the bank, she made up her mind and signed in directly.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in! Received three copper coins! ]
…Fuck! It’s getting smaller again!
Gu Tang was like a deflated ball, deflated in an instant, and his spirit, which had been lifted up, quickly faded.
He lay on the luggage, lifeless and looking like he had no point in living.
very good!
Three draws and three losses!
If she dares to sign in at the bank again in the future, she will slap herself a few times until she wakes up!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She covered her head with a fur blanket and it took her a while to calm down and fall asleep.
…
This sleep was quite long. When Gu Tang woke up from the bumpy ride, he found that the ox cart had left the official road and was now moving on a bumpy path.
No wonder the car was so bumpy, it turned out we were almost home.
The end of this road is Shanghe Village.
When we arrived at the village, there were not many people on the village road. There were only two or three lazy men talking nonsense with a woman.
When the ox cart passed by them, a man in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out and stopped the ox cart.
Gu Tang took a look and recognized him as Gu Laizi from the village. He was not only a relative of the same clan as the Gu family, but also within the fifth degree of kinship.
"Isn't this Brother Lianshan?" Gu Laizi looked Gu Lianshan up and down, his eyes full of disbelief, "Good brother, how much silver did you sell your goat for? Now even you are wearing new clothes!"
Gu Tang raised his eyebrows. Even Gu Laizi knew that she had caught a goat from the mountains. It seemed that no one in the village didn't know about it.
Fortunately, no one saw me when I was leading the deer home. As long as the Gu family members don't tell anyone else, no one else will know.
Gu Lianshan ignored what Gu Laizi said and just let him move away.
Gu Laizi refused to move. His small triangular eyes looked meaningfully at Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an who were sitting in the car, and his gaze finally fell on Gu Tang.
"Good niece! Tell your uncle, I heard that you caught that goat? Where did you catch it? How much silver did you get from selling it? Look at your family, everyone is wearing new clothes! No wonder your mother took the two kids home to raise them, she really made some money..."
Um?!
Gu Tang’s eyes widened instantly.
What did this bastard just say?
Before Gu Tang could lose his temper, Gu Lianshan, who was sitting in front of him, grabbed Gu Laizi by the collar and half-lifted him up: "What the hell did you just say?!"
Gu Laizi was shocked, thinking that Gu Lianshan was going to hit him, so he struggled to get Gu Lianshan to let go of his hand, shouting everything out without caring about anything.
"Yesterday afternoon! Your daughter-in-law brought back the two children she gave birth to at the Lin family. She told everyone she met that the old woman at the Lin family was seriously ill, and in order to prevent the two children from contracting the disease, she brought them back to your house to be raised. She also said that you agreed to this, and they moved in yesterday..."
Gu Lianshan's face turned pale, he suddenly let go of his hand, and drove the ox cart home.
Gu Tang and Gu Ping'an in the car hurriedly grabbed their luggage and made themselves sit firmly.
The brother and sister looked at each other in silence.
Their mother always does things beyond people's expectations!
If the old woman of the Lin family really died, and you said the child couldn't survive on his own and wanted to rely on the Gu family for a few years, that's fine!
Let’s have a good discussion. Who can really watch two children starve to death outside?
Besides, over the years, the Lin family has never stopped receiving food and silver. Regardless of whether the old woman from the Lin family is around or not, the money and food will continue to be given until the two children get married.
This was agreed upon when Zhang married into the family in her early years.
Even though her father often goes back on his words, no one can blame him in this matter!
That really is all that needs to be done.
"Second sister, this... shouldn't be possible, right? We still have grandparents at home, will they agree?"
Gu Ping'an didn't dare to believe it, but Gu Laizi spoke so confidently about it.
"I'm just worried that grandma won't be able to figure things out." Gu Tang curled his lips and whispered, "If grandma wants to cause trouble for us, she will definitely not ask about this!"
Gu Ping'an's expression froze. Indeed, grandma could do this.
Gu Tang added: "You know my mother, she is always willing to take advantage of others! If grandpa and grandma don't stop me, I will definitely think that this is my tacit consent!"
