Chapter 107 Eye drops
"Grandma Gu, this time the King of the Night gave a few people in the army. Leizi begged for a long time in front of my father, begging for a future for the brothers of the Gu family. Has everything been arranged? He said that he will be selected today and will be ready in two days." arranged."
"Ah, I didn't say anything."
The third-bedroom old lady of the Gu family froze for a moment, then asked with a frown.
"Yes, Leizi told his second uncle and second aunt. Grandpa Gu was also here, and I was also there that day."
"No, no one came back and said, what does this child do, the third daughter-in-law, do you know?"
The old lady is a little angry.
Aunt Gu blinked and wondered, "I told you, Leizi told the second brother, didn't the second sister-in-law go to spread the word, and Leizi went out after finishing talking. She said that she wanted to spend some more money to buy a boat for the clan to earn money." At the same time, I borrowed 10,000 taels of silver notes from Yuer, and Brother Li gave me 5,000 taels, and the money for buying boats and collecting medicinal materials was all borrowed by Leizi."
"What, is this money from the Li family?"
The old lady of the Gu family felt a sudden pain in her head when she heard it. She thought it was the money from his second aunt, and thought that it must be the old man who took care of the family and took it out of his own pocket. She didn't expect it to be borrowed by the child.
"It must be borrowed. The property in the clan is better. All the property in my hand has been lost. The property of my third master and I is not much in Linqi. Only part of the property of the Gu family is transferred, not all of it. This year is not good and people lose a lot of money, so they don’t make money after reckoning.”
"Where did the lost 20,000 taels go?"
"There are tens of thousands of taels here and there, and they will be gone."
The old lady Gu's face turned black immediately, and the second aunt returned some of the property in the family, but the property of the Gu family's main house was also held by their husband and wife, and it was not given to the children.
This is why Gu Lei has no money. He only has the dowry returned by his second uncle to his mother. Both his father and third uncle are in the hands of the second uncle, and some of the money and accounts are in the hands of the second aunt.
He is underage, so he will definitely not give it to him, but to the older and more stable Second Uncle Gu. He manages general affairs all the year round, and used to be in charge of the family's property, but then the boss and the third child of the Gu family will be there, and they will also intervene Asked, never had a problem.
After a great tragedy, Mr. Gu lost two of his own sons in a row. His whole body was a bit sluggish, his body also needed to be recuperated, and he didn't have the energy to take care of it at all.
"This means that there is a problem with the accounts, and all the money Leizi spent on us was borrowed by the eldest daughter-in-law, your dowry, and the Li family?"
The old lady put down her chopsticks and turned cold.
"Yes, if Yu'er hadn't asked about this today, I thought I would tell you in private later that the second brother and the second sister-in-law came here first and everything is not ready. Don't let me ask, saying that there are too many things at home, and he knows the hardships of the elders only when he is working outside, and he will have money to live when he buys a boat and starts spring."
After a pause, he continued, "My son used my private money. I'm sorry, so I bought a boat for his younger brother while buying a boat. This is also to make up for my expenses and losses on the way. I'm afraid I won't get enough money. gone."
Third Aunt Gu explained the matter clearly, cleverly picked Gu Lei out, and took the responsibility on herself.
"Grandma Gu, should I talk too much and shouldn't ask, Leizi won't let me ask."
Li Yu covered her mouth and blinked her bright eyes.
Old lady Gu patted her head, "Good boy, it has nothing to do with you, and I would like to thank your family for teaching and supporting Leizi everywhere. We did something wrong and made you laugh."
"But the second sister-in-law was busy and forgot about spreading the word."
"I see, you don't need to pay attention to this matter, I will discuss this matter with my eldest brother."
Old lady Gu obviously understood something, her expression was a little dignified.
"Third aunt, family harmony and everything is going well, I don't say it's okay... Now that the Gu family is in turmoil, what they need is unity. It's right to spend money to buy peace. Our family needs a clan wife who is fair and pungent."
"This time my sister-in-law did a great job. Back then, my elder brother moved my sister-in-law's dowry here and bought some properties here. Brother Lei used the money to buy things for the clan. Come over with five thousand taels of silver, the money to buy the boat comes from here, and my sister-in-law's things are all given to Brother Lei."
Aunt Gu told the truth.
"I see."
The old lady pursed her lips with a very serious expression. The second child was too selfish. It was useless for us to support her, and we couldn’t pick up the goods. No wonder the old sister-in-law looked down on the second daughter-in-law and didn’t use her.
It's not as sensible as the eldest daughter-in-law. Although the eldest daughter-in-law is not good at housekeeping, she never makes mistakes in major matters and knows the righteousness.
"Grandma, my father said to choose those who are capable and stand out first, and then compete with others after they do a good job. Take it step by step and choose prudent ones."
"Good boy, thanks for reminding me, otherwise I wouldn't have time to prepare. Listen to your father and let your grandpa choose someone."
"Grandma, I need to talk too much. Leizi is going to work with the King of the Night soon, and there is no brother in front of him to help with general affairs. Maybe if you do well, you will have other opportunities. Did Leizi do something wrong? No, you missed him."
"My brother has several brothers who come in and out to help. Some things can't be done with servants, but with his own brothers. Leizi is often alone, and there is no one to discuss and remind."
Li Yu carefully looked at Mrs. Gu.
"I was negligent. I thought about my child going to school, and I will arrange it later."
"Leizi is going to the King of the Night. The eldest son and the second son can also meet each other often. This is how the opportunity comes. If there is no one in front of him, even if he has the opportunity, he will not be able to come to you. Brother Xin is still young. You have to study for a few years, this time it's not that Leizi is selfish, and it's not up to Brother Xin to grab the opportunity of his brother."
Li Yu also said something for Gu Lei. Her eldest brother has several brothers who follow him all the year round. They are not serving as servants, but looking for opportunities. Is it coming?
Let’s all lie down at home, and there will be no pie in the sky.
"Good boy, there is a shortage of people in the family, and I forgot about it when I was busy with family affairs. It was my negligence."
"The old man feels uncomfortable, his health is not very good, and he can't take care of many things. You should think about it more, otherwise the old man will feel even more uncomfortable. The two grandchildren who were born in the family did not seem to be willing to teach. The son of the family has gone , the grandson has no one to talk to, and looks cold."
"I can't, Qing waits for Brother Lei to become the head of the board. No one else will compete with him. This is not a joke."
Old lady Gu became impatient when she heard this. Gu Lei will be the head of the Gu family in the future.
"If you change people, you have to tell my father, you don't care about our family and we are not afraid of having too many men."
Li Yu winked and giggled.
"Go, what nonsense."
Third Aunt Gu laughed angrily, and patted Li Yu, how could Erlang, the most established family member of my Gu family, give it to your family?
