Chapter 5 One of the old debts

Grandpa Gui Er and Grandma Gui Er looked bad. The old couple saw that Yang was thinking about the fifty taels of silver in front of them. If this daughter-in-law had not been good, it would have been difficult for widows to raise children over the years, so they would have scolded each other.

No matter how loud Gui Chongyang said, it was all about children in the eyes of both old men.

But Yang took it seriously. Perhaps she had no choice but to treat Gui Chongyang as the last straw.

Yang doesn't understand "open source" and "reduce expenditure" and other things, and doesn't pay attention to it. The "production purchase" is just what she thinks.

Naturally, the land is the priority for the family. The fertile land in the family was sold more than ten years ago, and only six acres of thin land were left. Every year, the harvest and taxes were paid, and even food was not enough. The family had to rely on odd jobs to make up for it. Yang was not afraid of poor and rich days, but his eldest son was eighteen and his second son was sixteen, and he was at the age of bride, but because his family was poor, he could not even prepare a betrothal gift, so he has not yet said he was bride.

Whether Gui Chongyang wants to be the head of the clan or the parents, as long as he can buy an industry for his family and let his son have the conditions to marry, Yang will obey him. She is not greedy. She can buy seven or eight acres of middle fields in front of her. At that time, half of the second house will be given according to the head of the house. In that case, the second house will have four acres of middle fields and six acres of land. Guichun and Guiqiu brothers will have five acres of each person, which will be enough to make it easier to say that marriage is cheaper.

If it were someone else's money, Yang wouldn't even care about it, but this was the money from Gui Chongyang. Gui Chongyang was a villain, and he didn't seem to be able to make money. This was obviously the inheritance left by Gui Yuan. Because of Gui Yuan, Yang had no husband, no father and brother, and after more than ten years of hard life, how could she not care about the money in front of her?

Yang was straight and didn't look at his in-laws' face. His eyes were lit. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to buy a delivery. If you have it, you are not panic. Your second brother is an apprentice in the town and you know a wide range of people. Tomorrow, he will ask him to find out the people in the middle."

Gui Chongyang said in surprise: "This is the capital. How can I make money after buying land? I have to use this money as capital. I will buy property after I make money."

Yang said bitterly: "Buying and selling is easy to do. If you are not careful, you will get a good purchase. Where can I buy a land? If you work hard, you can produce two stones of wheat in the middle field, and you can also take up a batch of cabbage. After paying taxes, in addition to changing rations, you can still have a few more money left. In a few years, you can add two acres of land. Over time, this is the reason why you have been through life."

Gui Chongyang frowned and said, "When will it take to save like this? The two cousins ​​are about to get married, and their cousins ​​will also start studying in the future. There are several other relatives who were owed by my father back then, so naturally they should find a way to make up for it. In the future, they will spend money on buying family property and starting family schools, and they cannot be saved by farming."

Yang was so excited that the scene depicted by Gui Chongyang was so touching.

Grandma Gui could no longer listen and muttered, "What daydreams!"

Grandpa Gui Er had a dark face, not looking at his daughter-in-law who showed his greed heart, but to Gui Chongyang, who was full of confidence: "What book is it? All good people are useless to study. If your grandfather had not been very arrogant and had to hold back his energy and want to give up a scholar, he would not end up with a family being ruined!"

As the youngest son of the village chief's family, Gui Yuan had studied at the time. He followed his uncle, the father of Mei, but he didn't even pass the county exam. Before he stole the money and ran away from home, it happened to be after he failed the county exam. At that time, Gui Yuan was seriously ill and almost died of a fever. After waking up, he became taciturn, making the family feel uneasy. Therefore, Village Chief Gui took him to the county town later, but he didn't expect that he would never return.

As soon as the "Nine Dings Difficulties" came out, the people in the village cursed Gui Yuan. Even Grandpa Gui Er hated this nephew in his heart, and did not feel that he was really disappointed when he saw his growing up nephew.

After all, he is a nephew. Seeing that he grew up, his usual kindness and integrity are not fake. Grandpa Gui Er only thinks that his nephew is stupid in studying and is deceived and abducted by others, so he will make a big mistake. Gui Yuan has no news for more than ten years. In addition to hating his ignorance, Grandpa Gui still has some thoughts and concerns, worried that he will be harmed and his body will not exist.

Because of this, Grandpa Gui Er was completely prejudiced about studying and literacy. It was Gui Chun and Gui Qiu, both of them had never attended school for a day. If Mei had not been secretly intrigued, both of them would have been blind.

At present, Gui Chongyang came back with the household letter. Although Grandpa Gui Er learned that his nephew was really gone this time, it also made the old man angry. For the sake of that little beast, five people died of the old and young Gui family, but he became a child and lived a good life. He could arrange for people to go back to Tongzhou to move to handle household registration, but he did not come back to pay homage to his father. The little beast really lost his conscience.

"The dragon gives birth to a dragon, the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the mouse's son can dig holes." Grandpa Gui Er remembered this old saying, and before, he was relieved because of the rejoice of someone in the family, and what was left was a vague defense.

Gui Chongyang looks like Xiao’s father, who looks pure and kind, and he speaks and reads and reads. Who knows if he is as unscrupulous as his father?

Some debts can be paid, but some debts cannot be paid. Even if Gui Yuan repented repeatedly and repeatedly told his son to come back to "pay the debt"? The dead cannot survive, and the left cannot turn back.

Gui Chongyang heard the accusations in Grandpa Gui Er's words, and felt depressed. He still said kindly: "Even if you really want to farm and rely on the heaven to make a living, it depends on whether God appreciates his face. Yan land has been drought for ten years and the people's taxes are heavy. If no one in the family has fame, he will not be able to withstand a natural disaster. On the contrary, if you have fame and fortune, whether you buy your own property or take students to teach, it will be cheap."

Grandpa Gui Er snorted coldly: "Famousness is so easy to take! Shunniang's uncle has been a scholar all his life, and he is still an old boy. If he hadn't been so mean to take possession of his brother's property, let alone taking the exam, he would have been drinking the northwest wind long ago."

Shunniang is the Mei family. In fact, the father of Mei family is also a Tongsheng, but he is his ancestor and brother-in-law. Grandpa Gui Er is not able to talk to him, so he used Mei's uncle to speak.

Even so, Mei's aunt and nephew also looked sad.

Seeing this, the second grandma Gui hurriedly said, "What did the old bastard do? The old beast who was so cruel, he didn't even let go of his niece if his brother died and swallowed his family property. If Shunniang hadn't come over smartly, he wouldn't know where he married him. The poor nephew's wife was carried into the sedan chair in a confused manner and said it was an aisle, and she didn't know whether it was life or death. I don't believe that God has never opened his eyes, and he will always be rewarded for his life."

Mei's expression became more and more miserable, and she held her niece's hand and shivered.

Gui Chongyang was always quick-witted. After hearing this, the audience looked at it and thought about it and inferred that what Grandma Gui mentioned was almost the same.

Mei's family went to the Gui family to guard the Gui family, and had both parents died, and their family property was occupied by their uncle, and they were almost forced to marry. This was not because of childhood sweethearts that they decided not to get married.

Gui Chongyang has not only less entanglement but also more heavy.

Mei's brother, the nephew of the village chief Gui, died in the "Nine Dings". The situation was easy to infer that year. The only son died suddenly, and Mei's parents couldn't stand it and disappeared. Then Mei Tongsheng occupied the property of his brother's family and wanted to marry Mei.

Mei took advantage of her engagement with Gui Yuan and entered her uncle's family to watch the widow. Isn't Mei's sister-in-law the biological daughter of the girl in front of her? She was forced to remarry and separated from her family.
