Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children
Chapter 80 Gu Jinzhong guards the vegetable patch
Mrs. Liu had a midday lunch at her parents' house, and Mrs. Zhou secretly chased her away.
She talked about kissing her again, but in fact she was not willing to let Mrs. Liu have one more meal at home.
Ms. Liu took her three children back home. Three children passing by in the town were clamoring for steamed buns. Ms. Liu wanted to buy them but she didn't have a penny left.
"When tomorrow's mother sells the hairpin, I will buy you buns."
The three children cried again. The first thing they did when they got home was to file a complaint with Gu Jinzhong.
Gu Jinzhong was immediately annoyed when he learned that she returned to her parents' home and gave her money and gifts. She walked with her child for a day without even letting her child eat a steamed bun.
"Go away and go with your mother's family."
"Goudangouwa doesn't have a mother like you..."
"Get out now and count on your mother-in-law's family to take care of you until you die..."
Seeing that he was really angry, Mrs. Liu quickly explained with a smile, and then took the opportunity to bring up the matter of letting the children study.
"You're right. I can't count on my nephew. Instead of providing for his education, it's better to provide for our own children."
Gu Jinzhong stared at her with inquiring eyes, wondering why she changed her gender?
Have you finally figured it out and are you just focusing on your own children?
"The family has no money to educate their two children."
"Goudan Gouwa is still young, so don't worry about studying..."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Children don't be anxious, but we as parents have to be anxious. We have to make plans for our children in advance."
"Do you know how much it costs to study?"
"I went to Sibaozhai today to ask. The cheapest set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone costs twenty taels of silver. If we don't make money early, what will we use to educate our children when they reach the age of enlightenment in the future?"
Gu Jinzhong knew what she said made sense, but he was a useless person, where could he make money for his children to study?
"I will try to make as many hairpins as possible in the future."
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and said, "You are so stubborn that you can only make a few bucks by making hairpins. Even if you don't eat or sleep, you can't make enough money for your children to study."
"If we want to find other ways to make money, we can't let our children lag behind the children of the second family. The children will complain about us in the future."
"I have thought about it, and I am also going to make money with my four younger siblings, and I will give more money to my mother."
"When the children come to the age of studying in the future, my mother and my second wife won't have anything to say, and our Goudan Gouwa will have the confidence to study."
"Otherwise, they will always point their noses and scold us for not working or making money as the eldest family member. It will be difficult for the children to raise their heads at home, and their education in the future will not be as good as that of the second family member."
Gu Jinzhong said nothing, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
"Go and talk to our mother and ask her to mention this matter to the fourth brother and sister. As long as mother opens her mouth, the fourth brother and sister will not refuse."
"As long as the fourth brother and sister can help me make money, I guarantee that I will do the work of the fourth brother and sister."
"But the children..."
"Chunmei will be six years old after the Chinese New Year. Let her take care of her two younger brothers."
"The second bedroom's Chunhua is only four years old, doesn't she carry little stones with her all day long? Why can't we, Chunmei, do the same?"
"Besides, if you're not at home, what can happen?"
Gu Jinzhong nodded, it was for this reason. Their eldest brother could no longer be lazy, and it was time to contribute something to the family.
What's more, for the sake of their children, they should also find ways to make more money...
"Let's see, our fourth brother's family is building a house, and my mother is not busy enough on her own. You go over to help first. We want others to help us make money, so we must show some attitude."
"You rush to do whatever work is available. Let the four younger siblings see my sincerity in reforming my past. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will tell my mother."
Although Ms. Liu was very dissatisfied with her husband's words, especially the words "show attitude", "reform" and "show sincerity" made her feel uncomfortable.
She didn't do anything wrong, so why should she change her ways?
But she still readily agreed: "Okay, just look at the performance."
As the couple in the first house were talking, they heard Yang's scolding coming from the door.
"Any black-hearted person who steals my food will not be afraid of eating it."
"Whoever dares to steal my food again, be careful I throw shit on your door..."
"The beasts raised by poor ghosts, stealing cheap wild vegetables, short-lived ghosts who can't eat even four vegetables in their lifetime."
Ms. Liu and Ms. Wang went out of the house together and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
"The wild vegetables grown by the fourth family have grown to the size of a palm in the past few days, and a large piece has been stolen..."
Yang was very angry. Although those wild vegetables were not valuable, they were definitely different from those grown all over the mountains and fields.
Ms. Liu started to persuade her, "Mom, don't be angry. You'll get angry again."
"A little wild greens aren't worth much."
"Can that be the same?"
"In the middle of winter, the fourth daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law plowed, watered, sown, fertilized, caught insects, and transplanted. They spent a long time and let others steal it?"
"No, I have to go to the village and scold them from house to house. Anyone who dares not go out to talk to them is the one who stole it."
Mrs. Wang also persuaded: "Mom, forget it, even if you know who stole it, what can you do?"
"With a handful of wild vegetables, is it possible that I still need to report to the official?"
Yang was persuaded, but the other party did not stop, but stole half an acre of land in one go.
Yang was so angry that she almost vomited blood, so she left the cooking job to Liu and scolded her from house to house.
Gu Jinzhong thought to himself that it was useless to just curse. In the winter, every household was eating pickled vegetables and dried vegetables, but the crisp green leafy vegetables growing in the fields of Lao Gu's family made everyone greedy after seeing them.
The weather is not too cold right now. If it gets colder for another night, there will be more people stealing food.
It is estimated that all of them will be stolen before the end of the year. By then, there will be no food left, let alone when they grow up.
Just as Gu Jinzhong was thinking about it, there was sudden movement in the yard, and it sounded like Gu Jinguo was back.
"Second brother, please come in."
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"If you are not too busy in the afternoon, go and build a straw shed in our vegetable field, and I will guard the vegetable field at night."
Gu Jinguo was stunned for a moment: "Brother, it's better for me to guard. Your legs and feet are inconvenient."
"It doesn't matter, take Dahei with you at night. People who steal vegetables will not dare to steal when they see someone guarding them."
"We are all from the same village, no one will embarrass me for a few handfuls of wild vegetables?"
"You have to help the fourth family build a house during the day. When you are free, you have to dig rocks and collect acorns in the mountains. You have to have a good rest at night."
"I have nothing to do all day long. I guard the vegetable field at night and go home to catch up on my sleep during the day. I don't waste anything."
Gu Jinzhong thought for a while and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you agree?"
"She had nothing to say."
"Then I'll ask mother what she means."
"Ah."
That afternoon, a straw shed was added to the Gu family's vegetable plot.
The villagers all understood, and no one thought the Gu family made a fuss.
After all, we are all farmers digging in the soil, and everyone’s vegetable plots are valuable.
