Chapter 346 Gu Qingqing Goes to the County
"Sister, if you think I can do it, I will do it. If I can't do it, I will learn it. But please don't look down on me for being stupid." Seeing that her sister trusted her so much, Lu Xiaocao forced herself to say this in her heart.
Seeing that she agreed, Gu Qingqing felt much better for no reason. However, her good mood didn't last for more than 2 seconds before she heard Lu Xiaocao say, "Sister, I'll go and help you, but I don't want your money. Even if mother knew about this, she wouldn't agree to let me take your money."
"How can you work for free? Besides, this is not for you. You give it to the entire Gu family. Listen to me on this matter." Gu Qingqing retorted.
"Sister, you have helped the family so much. We have finally been able to help you. How can you still ask for money? If you insist on giving me money, I can't make the decision. It's up to mom to make the decision. I will go back and learn from mom and see what she says." Lu Xiaocao repeated what Gu Qingqing had just said to her after slightly modifying it.
Gu Qingqing understood her intentions. She needed to tell her family whether she would come or not, and she also had to tell her family whether she would accept money or not.
Gu Qingqing had no choice but to scold her with a smile, "Go back and tell mom. I'll wait for your news."
......
Gu Jia felt uneasy taking care of little Gu Qi at home. She brought Xiao Miao back that day and then she knew what had happened to her.
Oh my God, five taels of silver! Even if she wanted to help Xiao Miao, she couldn't come up with five taels of silver!
Not to mention taking it, she had never even seen it. The most money she had ever seen was one or two or three hundred coins, because that was all she had on hand.
These were all given by her daughter every time she came. She was reluctant to spend them, so she saved them all.
Xiao Miao is a sensible and considerate little girl, but her life is so miserable.
So, when Zhuangzhuang told Xiaocao to go to their sister for help, she didn't stop him.
If I stop her, I will inevitably hurt Xiaocao's feelings, but if I don't stop her, I am afraid that it will embarrass my daughter.
So ever since Xiaocao left the house, she started to feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
Zhuangzhuang had gone to work in the fields and had not returned yet, so she and the child were the only ones left at home. She was so anxious that she simply carried the child and walked towards the village entrance to greet the grass.
As soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Xiaocao coming back with a bamboo basket on her back, and then she saw Xiaocao running.
"Mom, why are you standing at the door? Is little Gu Qi hungry again?" Lu Xiaocao took off the basket on her back and reached out to take little Gu Qi from her mother-in-law's arms. She indeed saw that little Gu Qi was staring at her with his round eyes and smiling, without any sign of crying.
"How are you? You went to your sister's house today. Did your sister find a solution for you? What did she say?" Gu Jia was anxious.
"Mom, let's go back to the house first. I'll tell you something good when we get back!" Lu Xiaocao said as she stretched out her hand to pick up the bamboo basket she had put down, but her mother-in-law grabbed it in her hand first.
When Gu Jia was about to go back to the west hall, Lu Xiaocao stopped her, "Mom, let's go to the fire room to boil some water."
It was said that he was boiling water, but in fact, there was only a wall separating the east and west living rooms, and that was where grandma lived, and the sound insulation of the house was not very good.
Gu Jia understood what she meant. Lu Xiaocao first told her about what Gu Qingqing said about helping to solve the problem of Xiao Miao, and also told her elder sister about her worries. She also told her mother-in-law, "If my father really comes home and is unreasonable, mother, just rest assured. I will go and talk to him."
"You silly child, that's your father, what can you say? We are different now than before. If he really dares to come, I will go. After all, you are my daughter-in-law. A daughter who is married is like water spilled. As long as my family disagrees, can he take the water back?"
At the same time, knowing that it was her daughter who wanted to buy the seedling, she couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaocao, we must remember your sister's kindness."
Now that the problem had been solved, Lu Xiaocao felt much happier. "Mom, I know. I'll remember it. I'll definitely tell Xiao Miao not to cause trouble for my sister and to work hard at my sister's house."
"You sisters are just as loyal as your elder sister, and you are all good children."
"Mother, you are right. My sister told me that she was going to open a shop in town and wanted me to come over to help her. She also said that she would give me some percentage of the profits. I said no, but my sister disagreed. Finally, I told her that I couldn't make the decision. I came back and told mother, what do you think?"
Gu Jia said without thinking, "You are right. Your sister has no money to help us. She needs help now. We are her family. How can we ask her for such little money? No! Besides, your father can't get out of bed now. After selling the autumn harvest, we will save more than two taels of silver this year. Life is getting better."
"Yeah, I'll go talk to my sister tomorrow." Lu Xiaocao said happily after hearing about the money saved at home.
"No, I will go with you tomorrow. We don't know what your sister will do by then, so you don't have to run back and forth." Gu Jia thought for a while and said this. Her daughter has had a lot of ideas since she became the head of the family, and she was afraid that Xiaocao would not be able to argue with her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, mom. You stay at home, I'll go plant these sweet potato seedlings." Lu Xiaocao said as he stood up and walked to the water tank, scooped a bucket of water and drank it for himself.
"There are still steamed buns from this morning in the pot. Take two to fill your stomach." Gu Jia said as she took out the steamed buns and some pickles and put them on the table.
After taking Xiao Gu Qi, he watched her leave.
......
After seeing Lu Xiaocao off, Gu Qingqing looked at the sky in the distance and thought.
Such a big thing as buying someone for the family must be discussed with Wen Wuyan. He may not make the decision, but he has the right to know about it.
Xiao Miao is different from Zhao Dong and his friends. Although Zhao Dong and his friends also live and eat at home, get paid and work, they are free people after all and can come and go freely.
Once the seedlings are bought, they belong to their family and they have to be responsible for them.
However, Wen Wuyan would not be back for several days, so she had to go to the county to discuss it.
Gu Qingqing did what she said and went back to the yard to tell Meihua that she was going out.
"Sister-in-law, just take care of your own business. With Zhao Qin and I here, there won't be any trouble."
Gu Qingqing nodded, "Also, I'll talk to Zhao Bei later and ask him to bring a vat of bamboo shoots to town tomorrow, just in time to pick me up. Please help keep an eye on it tomorrow."
"Sister-in-law, you're not coming back tonight?" Luo Meihua was surprised.
"Go find Wen Wuyan, and don't get back in time."
"What about the children at home? How about I stay at your house today? I can take care of them at night."
Gu Qingqing didn't rush to answer. Instead, she called Dahua who was not far away, and then told her that she was going out. At the same time, she asked, "Do you want Aunt Meihua to stay with you tonight?"
"Mom, no need. I can take good care of my two younger sisters. Don't worry!" Dahua said confidently.
After getting Dahua's reply, Gu Qingqing looked at Luo Meihua and said, "Then let Dahua take care of it. If anything really happens, Daxin and Uncle Yang are still in the front yard."
"Okay, Dahua, remember to go find your aunt if you have any problems." Luo Meihua said to her.
Dahua nodded.
Then Gu Qingqing told Dahua, "Give me Sanhua, and go find Uncle Zhao Bei and ask him to harness the donkey cart and take me a ride."
When she was about to speak, Sanhua was taken over by Luo Meihua, "You go pack your things, I'll take care of Sanhua for a while."
Gu Qingqing didn't bother to be polite with her. She turned around and went back to the house to pack some things, packed some paper for him, took some silver, and hurried to the town in the donkey cart.
