Chapter 75
The old lady Gu curled her lips in disbelief, "Meizi, don't fool me. Although I am old, I am not confused. What you wear now is different from before. If you say you have no money, Then I absolutely don't believe it."

Gu Qingmei said: "Grandma, I didn't say I have no money. I do have some money, but this money is for my fourth brother to build a house and marry a wife. I really can't give it to you."

The old lady Gu was furious when she heard the words, she stood up suddenly, walked a few steps quickly and came to Gu Qingmei, and raised her hand to give Gu Qingmei a loud slap in the face.

Gu Qingmei didn't expect that the old lady would do it as soon as she said she would do it, and she couldn't help being stunned. The old lady's strength was so great that five red marks appeared on her fair and tender cheeks.

She covered her face with her hands, glared at the old lady Gu angrily, and said through gritted teeth: "Grandma, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. Don't force me to go to the patriarch for comment!"

The old lady Gu lay on the ground and began to roll, "Oh, why is my life so hard, my granddaughter is so unfilial, she actually disobeyed me..."

When Gu Liu saw that the old lady had started to act violently again, she couldn't help saying angrily, "Mother, what are you doing? It's cold on the ground, get up quickly!"

But Mrs. Gu didn't listen to persuasion at all, she just rolled on the ground, "Unfilial...rebellious..."

Gu Qingmei was so angry that her ribs ached, her eyes burst out with gold stars, and she almost blurted out "Security, take her away", but she suddenly remembered that she was in ancient times, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart and said.

"Grandmother, I really can't give you 100 taels of silver. If I gave you, I would have no money to build a house for my fourth brother. But in the future, I can subsidize you with one tael of silver every month. This tael of silver, you If you are willing to buy things by yourself, you can buy things by yourself, and if you are willing to subsidize your aunt, you can subsidize your aunt. This is my last limit, if you don't agree, I will go to the patriarch to make a judgment now!"

The old lady Gu turned over and got up from the ground, and instead of dusting off her body, she glared at her, "You mean what you say!"

Gu Qingmei nodded, "I keep my word!"

The old lady Gu stretched out her hand confidently, palms up, and put it in front of her, "Then give me this month's money first!"

Gu Qingmei opened the drawer, took out the money bag from the drawer, took out a piece of silver and put it in her hand.

Seeing Mrs. Gu's old face full of grooves suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, she picked up a piece of broken silver and put it in her mouth, bit it, then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Meizi, I will I know that among so many grandchildren, only you are the most filial."

Gu Qingmei twitched the corners of her lips and said, "Grandmother, on the first day of every month from now on, I will ask my mother to send you the monthly money!"

"Okay." Mrs. Gu agreed, clutching the two pieces of silver, and walked away writhing her buttocks.

Gu Qingmei put her elbows on the kang table and pressed her throbbing temples. She was really fed up with the shameless faces of these people.

Gu Liushi said uncomfortably: "Meizi, your grandmother is that kind of person, you must not get angry, what if you are angry?"

Gu Qingmei said: "I'm fine, I just have a headache, mother, go to the patriarch's place, tell him about the homestead that the fourth brother wants, ask him for a three-acre homestead, and then tell him that the house we live in now is still available. There is the third brother’s house, all of which will be handed over. After the house is built, our whole family will move in, and you will discuss it with your aunt later. Although we have separated a long time ago, our family lives in a new house, but we still have my aunt to live in the old one. There is no way to justify the house."

"Three acres?" Gu Liushi couldn't help being a little speechless when she heard that she wanted such a big place for a homestead. "Why do we build such a big house?"

Gu Qingmei said lightly: "One house and one yard, if not for the lack of money at hand, three acres would still be too small for me."

Gu Liushi thought for a while, "Forget it, you are a calculating person, as long as you have enough money."

Leaving aside the important place where Gu Liu's going to the patriarch's house, Gu Qingmei then asked Gu Shaotong to go out and call her third brother over.

Gu Qingyong walked in with a smile, and refused to sit down, just wandering around below as if suffering from ADHD, "Meizi, are you looking for me?"

Gu Qingmei said: "Third brother, my fourth brother wants to say goodbye, I have to build him a house, but father is an honest person, so I can't point it out, I want to entrust this matter to you."

Gu Qingyong immediately said: "What's the problem? Just watch!"

Gu Qingmei said: "I asked my mother to apply for three acres of land with the patriarch. When the house is built, our whole family will move in, so when building a house, you are not allowed to skimp on money."

Gu Qingyong's face immediately turned red, "Meizi, what do you mean by that? Is your third brother like that?"

Gu Qingmei smiled at him with a half-smile, "You are my third brother, don't I know you yet? Third brother, we are brother and sister, you have always loved me so much, I won't see you have a hard time, Tell me if you are short of money, I will give it to you if I have it, but you are not allowed to go out and cheat."

"Okay, I got it!" Gu Qingyong felt a little uncomfortable.

Gu Qingmei said: "When the land is in hand, you can find a craftsman who can draw and draw the blueprints. After I have a look at them, you are not allowed to start construction. In the past few days, you should first find a mason who knows how to do it, and find out the cost of materials and wages. "

Gu Qingyong nodded, "Okay, leave this to me!"

Gu Qingmei opened the drawer, took out the money bag, took out two taels of silver and handed it to him, "Take this money for pocket money first, just a little, and you are not allowed to play with money, or I will turn my face!"

Gu Qingyong accepted the money embarrassingly, "Sure, I'll take the money to treat those masons to drink."

When it was almost noon, Mrs. Gu Liu came back and said that the patriarch planned to go to Murong Villa tomorrow to talk to the manager about it.

Gu Qingmei knew that this kind of thing couldn't be done in one day, so she was not in a hurry, but just patiently sewed her handbag.

Yun Shen walked in, saw that she was doing strange work, and couldn't help but said, "Miss, didn't you promise to embroider the handkerchief for that Mr. Murong? Why didn't you embroider it? Instead, you made such a strange thing?"

"Oh..." After she reminded her, Gu Qingmei remembered that she had promised Murong Yu to embroider him with a handkerchief, and immediately made a bitter face, and hurriedly threw the half-sewn handbag in her hand to Yun Shen. "Do you know how to sew?"

Asked in the mouth, without waiting for her to answer, he said directly: "You sew this handbag for me, and ask me if you don't understand."

Saying so, she got off the kang, put on a shoe, hopped to the suitcase with one foot, opened the suitcase and dug out some materials bought in the city this time, found a piece of dark blue muslin cloth, This cotton cloth was originally bought for her father to make a small gown, but she bought a lot, so it's okay to cut a piece to make a handkerchief.
