Chapter 77 A bucket of cornmeal

Qian was thinking about it, and Gu Zhong, who was beside her, said in a low voice: "I thought about buying this girl to be Bao'er's child bride. I won't have to spend money to get a wife in the future. Besides, our family has a lot of labor. Young Master, Xing'er can still help with some work in the fields, but she is getting older and will get married in a year or two. Will the family rely on you as a laborer in the future? Besides, it is cost-effective to only have a bucket of rice. "

  Gu Zhong frowned, "That's good, but how can we make a living now?"

  Qian lowered his voice, "Don't you still have the second child?"

  "Their family also took advantage of hundreds of taels of silver, and we really have no food. After eating, can Gu Er Er watch your elder brother starve to death?"

  Gu Zhong was silent for a while, "If you insist on buying it, then buy it."

  After receiving Gu Zhong's agreement, Qian straightened up and squatted on the ground. The woman said, "I want this girl, just a bushel of cornmeal!"

  The woman seemed to be struck by the surprise and was speechless for a long time.

  Qian stood up and said, "Do you have a grain bag? Bring a bag and I'll fill it for you."

  Bao'er started arguing, "Mom, I don't want it. I said I don't want a wife!"

  Qian coaxed him, "I'll buy it for you . You are a horse rider, not a wife."

  Bao'er suddenly became happy and clapped his hands, "Oh, there is a horse to ride, there is a horse to ride."

  The woman looked at Bao'er with a hesitant look on her face . Gritting his teeth, he unpacked his bag, took out a bag, and walked with Qian to the mule cart.

  Qian poured a small half bag of cornmeal for the woman, but the woman refused, "There's not even a bucket here, please give me some more."

  Qian squeezed the mouth of the bag tightly, "Why isn't there a bucket? Look, it's already half a bag, and there's a designated one." Fight."

  Gu Fei glanced and suddenly said, "Mom, isn't there a Sheng at home?"

  Chen said loudly, "It's in the mule cart."

  Gu Fei got up and went . In the mule cart, he pretended to rummage, but in fact he took out the wooden logs at home from the space.

  She handed it to Lian'er and said, "Take it for your mother."

  Lian'er took it gratefully and hurried to her mother's side.

  Qian had already heard Gu Fei's words, and when she saw Lian'er coming over with a measuring tool, she was so angry that she kicked Ah Huang from the Gu Rong family, "Get out of here, you meddling dog!"

  The skinny Ah Huang ran away with a whimper. opened.

  This dog is also pitiful. My uncle's family didn't want to take it away in the first place. It insisted on following him, and there was nothing for it to eat. It just wanted to find some bark and grass roots, or eat some food to stay alive.

  The uncle sneered beside him: "Did my Ah Huang provoke you? Your kick will cause internal injuries to him. If he has any shortcomings, please pay for it!"

  Qian said "poof" and saw Lian'er and her mother took another bag and poured the cornmeal into it one liter at a time.

  A bucket of rice weighs ten liters, and half a bag of cornmeal measures only six liters. The woman pulled Qian and said, "I can't say it's not enough. It's too big. Give me another four liters."

  Qian cursed and had no choice but to Another four liters of cornmeal were measured for the woman.

  The woman tied the bag tightly and quickly walked aside with her son holding the bag.

  Lian'er returned Gu Fei's favor and stood there, not knowing whether she should follow her mother or go to Qian's side.

  Qian gave her a fierce look, very unwilling, and wanted to find some work for her, but there was really no work at the moment, so she had to say: "Damn girl, come here, watch Bao'er, don't let him run away. ."
