Chapter 77 A bucket of cornmeal

Mrs. Qian thought about it, pulled Gu Zhong beside her, and said in a low voice: "I thought about buying this girl to be a child bride for Bao'er, so that I don't have to spend money to get a wife in the future. Besides, our family has little labor, and Xing'er still has I can help with some work in the fields, but she is old and will get married in a year or two. Will the family rely on you as a laborer in the future? Besides, it is still cost-effective for just a bucket of rice. "

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

Qian lowered his voice and said, "Isn't there a second child?"

“Their family has taken advantage of hundreds of taels of silver. We really have no food to eat. How can Gu Laoer watch a big brother like you starve to death?”

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

With Gu Zhong's agreement, Mrs. Qian straightened her back and looked at the woman squatting on the ground, "I want this girl, just a bushel of cornmeal!"

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

Qian stood up and said, "If you have a bag of grain, bring me a bag and I'll fill it for you."

 Bao'er started to argue, "Mom, I don't want a wife. I told you I don't want a wife!"

Qian Shi coaxed him, "I bought her as a horse for you to ride on, not as a daughter-in-law."

 Bao'er instantly became happy and clapped his hands, "Oh, there's a horse to ride on, there's a horse to ride on."

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

Qian poured half a bag of cornmeal into the woman's hands, but the woman refused, "There's not even a bushel here, give me some more."

Qian squeezed the mouth of the bag tightly and said, "Why isn't there a bucket? Look, the bag is half full. There is a bucket designated for it."

Gu Fei glanced at it and suddenly said, "Mom, don't we have a Sheng at home? Where is he?"

Mrs. Chen said loudly: "It's in the mule cart. Go look for it."

Gu Fei got up and went to the mule cart, pretending to rummage around, but actually took out the wood sheng at home from the space.

 She handed the sheng to Lian'er, "Take it to your mother."

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

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

The skinny Ah Huang whimpered and ran away.

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

The uncle sneered at the side: "Did my Ah Huang provoke you? Your kick will definitely cause internal injuries to it. If it has any shortcomings, please pay me for it!"

Mr. Qian made a sound, and saw Lian'er and her mother taking another bag, measuring the cornmeal one liter at a time and pouring it into it.

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

 Qian was cursing and had no choice but to measure another four liters of cornmeal 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 invitation 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. ”
