Chapter 22: Gu Xiaoya (2)
Gu Liushi said indignantly, tears couldn't help but started to fall, "Your father is a filial man, these years, I haven't said half a word about your grandma, but your father just listens to the wind. Yu, if your grandma picks up something with him, she will hit me when she comes back. Just wait and see, this matter is not over yet, your grandma will definitely provoke your father and let your father make trouble with me."

Gu Qingmei calmly went out and took a towel and handed it to Gu Liushi, "Mother, don't cry, please allow me some time, at most one year, I will let you live with pride."

Gu Liu took the towel and wiped away her tears, "I don't ask for anything else, you can find a good husband's family in the future, just find a husband who loves you. I used to always think about it, this man is filial to his parents, It is a very good thing. But looking at it now, this filial piety must have a degree, and stupid filial piety is the worst."

Gu Qingmei comforted her mother for a while, Gu Liu's mood eased a bit, and she went out to cook.

In the evening, Gu Qingyang came back, and after entering the door, he took care of Gu Liushi. He didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he went into Gu Qingmei's room.

"Meizi, I'll sell you your handsome appearance!" Gu Qingyang smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth and took out a money bag from his arms, and took out three ten taels of silver ingots from the money bag, and two silver ingots of the same size. Put the double-weight small silver ingot on the table for Gu Qingmei.

Gu Qingmei picked up a silver ingot weighing twelve taels, and asked curiously, "How much is this?"

Gu Qingyang smiled and said: "Fool, it's no wonder you don't know how much it is. In the past, all you earned were small silver ingots of one tael. These are silver ingots of ten taels. This time, they sold a total of 35 taels of silver. I'll buy them for you." I bought two atlases and spent two taels of silver, I reckoned that your rice paper might not be enough, so I bought you five more ice and snow rice papers, and there are 32 taels left in total."

As Gu Qingyang said, he gently placed a blue cloth furoshiki on the table.

Gu Qingmei opened the fur skin, and saw that there were two atlases in blue covers and a volume of Bingxuexuan inside, and said with a smile: "That's great, I'm still worried, when you went back to the academy last time, you forgot to tell me You, rice paper is not enough, or you are careful, you can think that I don't have enough rice paper here."

Gu Qingyang couldn't help but sighed, "Speaking of which, I'm the most useless person. I can only spend money, but I don't know how to make money. On the contrary, it's you, our family has been busy for half a year, and we can only earn twenty taels. I didn't expect you A painting can be sold for so much money. By the way, the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop said that if there are still such flowers, you can ask for as much as you want."

Gu Qingmei said with a smile: "Although you make a lot of money with such a trick, you can't give it all at once. There are too many good things, and they are worthless."

She said, picked up a silver ingot weighing twelve taels, and handed it to the third brother, "Fourth brother, take the ten taels of silver!"

Gu Qingyang blushed, and said, "I still have money, you can keep it yourself."

Gu Qingmei said: "This money is for you to buy books. You are about to take the Qiuwei exam. It is always a good thing to read more books. Our family's conditions are not good. We don't have the money to buy you so many books. If you always borrow them from others , it will inevitably be looked down upon by others, if you don’t borrow it, you will read fewer books than others, and you will have a little less knowledge than others.”

Gu Qingyang nodded, and put away the money without any further excuses.

Gu Qingmei put the remaining two ten taels of silver ingots into the suitcase, then put the two one taels of silver ingots into the purse, put on a felt hat, and called Gu Shaotong, "Sir, Tong, let's go, go with my sister-in-law to get some wine for your grandfather."

"Hey!" Gu Shaotong knew that he must have another good meal today, so he happily agreed, and walked out behind Gu Qingmei's butt.

Gu Qingmei took a pottery wine bottle from the stove, and the aunt and nephew went to the grocery store. The grocery store was at the west end of the village. The owner was crippled, probably in his forties, short and fat, and leaning on a cane. Seeing Gu Qingmei, he was as happy as a Maitreya Buddha, "Meizi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you hurt your head, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better." Of course, Gu Qingmei didn't know his name, and didn't say hello to him, and said. "Give me a catty of wine, cut up two catties of cooked beef, weigh half a catty of peanuts, and a catty of braised meat."

"Okay!" Although the owner of the grocer is crippled, his movements are swift, and he quickly weighed all the things she wanted, calculated with the abacus, and said. "A total of 320 copper coins. Also, your elder brother has a wine account of eight renminbi on credit with me. Do you think it was paid together?"

"You can ask him for the wine bill he owes. From now on, I will never pay for him again." Gu Qingmei brought him a silver ingot of one tael, put it on the counter, and said with a cold face. "give change!"

"That's right, I'm afraid of you. It's the same when I go back to your mother." The boss quickly found her two three-cent silver ingots, and found her eighty copper coins, and put them on for her with a smile. In his hand, "Meizi is fifteen this year, right?"

When Gu Qingmei heard him asking herself this question, she couldn't help being a little disgusted. God knows that in this era, men and women are not close to each other, but she still said "hmm", put the money she found into the purse, and asked Gu Shaotong He picked up the food wrapped in greased paper, took the wine bottle by himself, took Gu Shaotong's hand and turned to leave the grocery store.

When passing through an alley, a little girl suddenly ran out of the alley. The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old. She was dressed in tatters and was dirty. Her hair was a mess. There are two small braids with a lot of straw on them.

A sharp and pungent voice came from the alley, "Run away, you have the ability to leave this house, and don't come back in the future!"

The little girl didn't look at the road when she ran out of the alley, and bumped headfirst into Gu Qingmei's body. Gu Qingmei said "Ouch", and the wine bottle in her hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

"Oh, sister, why don't you watch when you walk?" Gu Shaotong said unhappily. "Look, my grandfather's wine was knocked out."

After the little girl bumped into Gu Qingmei's body, she fell down. Hearing this, she didn't care to speak, but showed a pained expression, hurriedly took her left hand that was behind her back to her body, and held it firmly with her right hand.

"Huh?" Because it was not dark yet, Gu Qingmei saw that something was wrong with her left fingers, so she knelt down, took her dirty little hand, took a look, and took a sharp breath. .

But seeing that the little girl's left index finger was festered badly, covered with red and white pus and blood, she couldn't help but said: "Your hand is so injured, why don't you go to see the doctor?"

The little girl looked at Gu Qingmei pitifully, pursed her mouth, and didn't speak, just looked like she was crying.
