Chapter 8 The Difficult Way to Make Money

"No, I'm not tired."

"Then I'll help you boil water for washing your face." Gu Qingyang said, walked out, brought a bundle of firewood in the yard, washed the pot to fetch water, and sat in front of the stove to boil water.

After a while, the medicine on Ma Yunshang's side was ready. She filtered out the medicine juice and brought it into Xili Room.

Gu Shaotong knelt on the bed, took a kang broom in his hand and was sweeping the kang, and said while sweeping: "Mother, my aunt really hates it. My uncle robbed my sister-in-law of money, and made my sister-in-law bump her head. How dare you come here?" Have a meal!"

Ma Yunshang said with a cold face: "Don't talk about the elders!"

Although she wanted to scold her sister-in-law very much, but in order to teach her daughter to respect her elders, she endured it.

Gu Shaotong pouted aggrievedly.

Gu Qingmei liked this clever little girl very much, so she opened her mouth to excuse her, "Second sister-in-law, don't scold Shaotong, Shaotong is right, I bumped my head today, and when I passed out, they all thought I was I died, and when I woke up later, I heard from my sister-in-law that she planned to sell me to marry a yin relative."

"What?" Ma Yunshang heard the words, her face was so cold that it seemed to be covered with frost, her lips moved a little, she wanted to curse, but considering her daughter was here, she didn't want her to learn to speak ill of people behind her back Because of his faults, he just endured not to say the curse words.

She put the medicine bowl on the kang table, "The medicine is still hot, I'll drink it later."

"En!" Gu Qingmei responded, unable to bear it. "Shaotong is really sensible. He is only so young, so he knows how to do any kind of work."

"It's not because you trained well." Ma Yunshang laughed. "In these years, your second brother and I have been working outside. We couldn't take care of her, so I threw it to you and mother to take care of her when she was only one year old. Speaking of which, it's really like who raised her. I heard from my mother that when you were young It's the same, I started helping the family when I was five or six years old, and I can't rest assured that Shaotong will follow you."

Hearing her mention of her second brother who had never met, Gu Qingmei hurriedly asked: "By the way, why didn't you see the second brother?"

"He, he went out for a walk, and he won't come back until the end of April. At that time, he will come back to help the family harvest the wheat. You drink the medicine first, and I will fetch some water to wash your face and feet."

Gu Qingmei couldn't bear to say: "Second sister-in-law, you've been busy working without touching the ground since you were born, so take a break."

"I'm not tired!" Ma Yunshang said, lifted the cotton curtain and walked out.

"Shaotong, is your father an escort?" Gu Qingmei asked in surprise.

"That's right, my father works as the head of the Yangwei Escort Bureau in the city." Gu Shaotong said proudly. "His kung fu is really good!"

"Then what is your mother doing in the city?"

"My mother is helping cook at the Yangwei Escort. Her cooking is delicious!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingmei couldn't help but nodded seriously, her second sister-in-law's cooking skills are indeed top-notch.

Ma Yunshang came in with a basin of water in his hand, put the basin on the table, and greeted, "Shaotong, come and wash your face."

Gu Shaotong rolled up his cuffs and washed his face with the water in the basin. Ma Yunshang took a clean lamb belly towel, wet it, and then called his son who was playing with a piece of paper-cut on the kang, " Shaohua, come here, mother will wipe your face!"

"En!" Gu Shaohua twisted his little butt in reluctance, crawled to Gu Qingmei's side, and slipped into Gu Qingmei's arms. "Little sister, wipe your face!"

Ma Yunshang put on a serious face, "Your sister is sick and can't serve you anymore, come here quickly, or mother will spank your ass!"

"I don't!" Gu Shaohua arched hard into Gu Qingmei's arms, and buried his face in Gu Qingmei's arms.

Gu Qingmei smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, give me the towel, I'll wipe him off."

Ma Yunshang couldn't help laughing and said: "This kid, I'm almost treating you like a mother, but I'm tired of you."

"It's my good fortune that he kissed me." Gu Qingmei smiled and took the towel, and gently wiped Gu Shaohua's face. "It's the second sister-in-law. In order to earn more money to support the family, she can only be cruel and leave the child at home, and go out to work with the second brother."

"There are too many places for money in the family. His fourth uncle is going to study, and he is already seventeen. We haven't talked about marriage yet. You are also fifteen, and it's time to save a dowry. The family leases a few acres of land in Murong Villa, and every year it is only Just earning that few money, my father is quite old, and he has to go to the car dealership in the city to make money during the slack season. I am young, how can I wait at home to sit and eat?" Ma Yunshang saw her giving After the son wiped his face, he took the towel, threw it into the wooden basin, scooped up the water himself, washed his face, went out and splashed the water, then fetched water again, twisted the handle of the towel, and asked Gu Qingmei to wipe his face.

Gu Qingmei wiped her face, and Ma Yunshang brought her the bowl of medicine, "This medicine is almost ready to drink, so I can sleep after drinking it."

Gu Qingmei vomited so much that she almost vomited when she smelled the pungent smell, but she pinched her nose and poured down the medicine. Ma Yunshang thoughtfully handed her half a bowl of water, "Come on, rinse your mouth."

Gu Qingmei rinsed her mouth, and spat it into the spittoon that Ma Yunshang brought over, a fat little hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, "Sister-in-law eat candy!"

Gu Qingmei froze for a moment, then turned her face to see Gu Shaohua kneeling beside her, holding a sugar ball with white icing on her small white hand, looking at her with a smile.

"Shaohua is really sensible!" Gu Qingmei stretched out her hand to rub his head and said with a smile. "But eating sugar at night will damage your teeth, so you can't eat sugar at night, let's eat it tomorrow!"

Ma Yunshang said: "Did you hear that? Your sister-in-law said that eating candy at night will damage your teeth. Hurry up and put away the candy and eat it tomorrow!"

Gu Shaohua pouted, but still put the sugar ball into a purse embroidered with hibiscus flowers, then opened a drawer on the kangqin, put the purse in it like a baby, and then looked at Gu Qingmei with a smile, Wait for the compliment.

Gu Qingmei laughed and said, "Shaohua is so good!"

Ma Yunshang found green salt and willow branches, asked her to brush her teeth, went out and changed to a larger wooden basin, fetched water, put it on the edge of the kang, carefully helped Gu Qingmei sit on the edge of the kang, and He sat down with a bag, rolled up her trouser legs, and washed her feet.

Gu Qingmei couldn't help but said: "Second sister-in-law, you are so kind, my second brother is really blessed to marry you."

Ma Yunshang's face turned red immediately, she raised her head, and glared at her reproachfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? Girls, you don't feel ashamed to say such things!"

Gu Qingmei smiled, and stopped talking, knowing that ancient people were thin-skinned.

Gu Shaotong climbed onto the bed, opened the kangqin, took out the bedding from inside, and spread them on the kang one by one.

Ma Yunshang wiped Gu Qingmei's feet with a towel, helped her to lie down, washed her feet after serving her sons and daughters, and soaked her feet before turning off the oil lamp and lying down on the kang.

Gu Qingmei's headache was severe, she tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much, but she heard the sound of drumming outside. There is no clock here, so she can only know the time of night by the watchman beating the watch.
