Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 81 Refused to offer incense (1)
"That's why I came to you today. There is nothing I can do about this matter, and only the third sister-in-law can solve it. After all, we are a family. If the fourth brother and I lose face, it means you lose face." Gu Qingmei said, Whispered an idea into Fang Meiyao's ear.

After Fang Meiyao heard this, she slapped her thigh, "Meizi, leave this to me, I'll go in the afternoon!"

Gu Qingmei smiled and took out another ten taels of silver from the money bag, and put them on the copper coins, "These money is the capital for you, if it is not enough, then tell me."

Fang Meiyao was very happy in her heart, but she said politely: "We usually play small games, betting one or two copper coins, even if we lose for a day, we can only lose one or two hundred coins. You gave me so much money to make money. what?"

Gu Qingmei said: "If there are any leftovers, buy more food for the children."

With that said, she stood up and went home.

As for Fang Meiyao, after eating in a hurry, she took a few strings of money and went to Gu Yunzhi's house, and dragged Gu Yunzhi's wife to set up a poker game.

Country people, in winter, there is no farm work to do, and the only recreational activity is horse hanging, so everyone in the village can play cards.

Gu Yunzhi's daughter-in-law is the best at this.

When Fang Meiyao came up, she lost money all the way to her. During the chat, she started talking about the third aunt.

The colleagues are enemies, and Gu Yunzhi's daughter-in-law was so angry that she threw herself on her back and scolded the third aunt.

After all, Gu Qingyang's marriage was arranged by her alone, and she took ten taels of silver from Gu Qingmei. If the marriage was messed up, how could she have the face to gain a foothold in the village?
The matchmaker's mouth has always been corrupt and poisonous. Within a few days, the story of the third aunt's grandmother spread in several surrounding villages.

The third aunt's grandma immediately became the laughing stock of all the towns and cities. She was a little angry when her granddaughter failed to give it to the Gu family, but now that she heard these gossips, she was so angry that she wanted to die.

The next day, around noon, Gu Yunbai came in from the outside with a hoe on his shoulders. When he reached the yard, he put down the hoe, took off the towel around his neck, dusted the dirt off his body, and then entered the main room.

Yun Shen and Gu Shaoya were cooking in the main room. Ever since the injury on Gu Shaoya's hand healed, she had taken care of most of the work of Gu Qingmei's family. The only pity was that a small bone was missing from her finger. The plump fingertips were sunken, which looked like a pity.

Seeing Gu Yunbai coming in, she greeted affectionately: "Master, you are back!"

Yun Shen also got up in a hurry, and greeted: "Master, you are back!"

Although it sounds ironic to call a tenant farmer who lives in an adobe house a lord, she sticks to her duty.Because she knew that this was her only way out now.

"En!" Gu Yunbai agreed lightly, and then went into the clean room inside to wash his face and body.

He basically turned a blind eye to his daughter's behavior of leading people all the way home, and didn't care about it.

As soon as he washed his face, the old lady Gu came and went directly into Gu Qingmei's Western room.

Gu Qingmei was sitting in front of the table and was burying her head in drawing. She didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but she couldn't help but sat down on the edge of the kang and called out with a smile: "Meizi."

Hearing this voice, Gu Qingmei couldn't help shivering in Lingling. It's been a while since she traveled here. If this old lady doesn't come, it's fine. Once she comes, nothing good will happen.

But as a junior, she still had to take care of her face, so she put down her paintbrush, stood up and said with a non-smiling smile, "Grandmother is here, is there anything you want?"

Yun Shen was sitting on the kang doing work, she had just arrived and didn't have any clothes to change, but fortunately Gu Qingmei bought a lot of clothes and threw them to her, so she could do it herself.Of course, you can also help her make a few pieces.

Seeing Mrs. Gu coming in, she hurriedly got off the kang and poured tea for Mrs. Gu.

The old lady Gu smiled so that the wrinkles on her face were piled up like a chrysanthemum, "I had a dream last night. I dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I wanted to go to Guanyin Temple to restore it. It happens that tomorrow is the fifteenth day. Come with me." Bar."

"Go to Guanyin Temple?" Gu Qingmei couldn't help frowning, she had a lot of serious things to do here, how could she have time to accompany her to burn incense, so she hesitated and didn't agree immediately.

The old lady Gu immediately put on a straight face, and said unhappily: "What? You are my granddaughter, can I ask you to accompany me to the Guanyin Temple for incense?"

Gu Shaotong was sitting cross-legged on the kang, learning to do needlework with Yun Shen, and had been watching her since she came in. Seeing her angry at this moment, he couldn't help but timidly said: "Sister-in-law still wants to draw flowers, why don't I accompany the old lady?" Ancestors go."

The old lady Gu scolded angrily: "Go, go, what are you messing around with, you little girl? I'll take you there when you grow up!"

Gu Shaotong was scolded for his good intentions, and his eyes turned red with grievance. Two bubbles of tears rolled in his eyes, but he insisted not to fall.

Gu Qingmei didn't like this old lady in the first place, and thought she was too stupid. Seeing her angry with Gu Shaotong at this moment, she was even more unhappy, so she said coldly: "I promised the owner of Xiuzhuang that I will hand over a certain amount of money every month. Only by counting like a flower can I get money, and I can only give my grandmother the one tael of silver every month. If I can’t complete the amount, the boss will not give me a penny. If I have no money to supplement my grandmother, my grandmother will not Damn it!"

When Mrs. Gu heard her mentioning the one tael of silver, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I also thought about taking you to burn incense, so that I can pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless you to paint more tricks and earn more money for the family. .”

Seeing that she didn't play tricks this time, Gu Qingmei felt suspicious, but she thought that maybe she was really afraid that she would not make up for her in the future, so she would be soft on herself, so she didn't bother with her any more, she just said: "Grandmother is still Please go back, I'm very busy and don't have time to offer incense."

The old lady Gu's face immediately turned serious, and she raised her voice immediately, "You child, you are too heartless. If you disrespect the gods and Buddhas, the gods and Buddhas will punish you. I have made a vow and said that I will take you with me Shangxiang, if you don’t go, then the gods and Buddhas will punish you, then it’s no joke.”

Seeing that she was so enthusiastic about asking her to go to incense, Gu Qingmei couldn't help feeling suspicious, so she said without a trace: "But I'm going to the city tomorrow, and I agreed to send flowers to the embroidery shop."

The old lady Gu became anxious when she heard this, "Didn't you always ask the fourth child to deliver it for you? Why did you think of delivering it yourself? Girls, how can they go out and show their faces? Why don't I ask Brother Lei to give it to you?" It's better for you to send it than a girl running around everywhere."

Now Gu Qingmei concluded that there was something wrong with her so-called incense, she deliberately showed a embarrassed look, "Grandma, it is also the intention of the boss of the embroidery shop that I go in person, after all, I am drawing these flowers, what kind of embroidery shop is there?" The type of pattern is selling well, so the boss can tell me which one I need to draw more. If there is a person in the middle, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the transmission of the message."
