The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"That's it, the eldest young master wants me to set aside half of these mountain ears and sell them in batches to some famous big households in Jiangling County.

Each household can't give more, so only one and a half catties are given.Even if they are famous and big, they will only give two or three pounds at most.

The temperaments of the managers who came out of the big families are more difficult to offend, and these days are really making me bald. "

Although Liu Qingshan said so, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

Since I followed the eldest young master to Jiangling County in Linping Town, my luck seems to be getting better and better.

In the past, when I was a steward in the outer courtyard of the main house, the monthly money of [-] taels a month, although I had a little face outside, I could occasionally get some extra money, but compared to today, the difference is not a few taels. Silver can compare.

"Uncle Qingshan, do you know whether the restaurant under the Zhou family's name in Jiangling County is in the hands of the eldest young master, or has it returned to the Zhou family's home?" Gu Qi was a little puzzled when he thought of what Zhou Li said that day.

"A lot of them have already been handed over to their own families, and only a few in the county government are still in the hands of the eldest young master.

However, these restaurants were originally built by the eldest young master, so the master of the master said that the revenue of each restaurant that was handed over to the family would be divided into [-]% of the profit to the eldest young master at the end of the year. "

The Zhou family is well aware of these matters, so Liu Qingshan has no worries about it.

Hearing this, Gu Qi couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Li, the fox, really didn't tell the truth, and it wasn't a lie.

......

The trial opening date is set for November [-].

Qian Si Niangzi took He Niangzi and two girls, and made two thick work clothes for everyone, and also made a spare winter quilt for everyone.

In addition to the four of them, Mrs. Qin also found two young women from the village to help Gu Qi.

One lived in the west of the village, named Song Wanyue, and was the second daughter-in-law of Widow Wang Jia. She was eighteen or nineteen years old and had a three-and-a-half-year-old son who was helped by Widow Wang.

Widow Wang lost her husband at an early age. She lived alone with three sons and a daughter. She made tofu and sold tofu to support several children. Her life was stuttering and not easy.

In the early years, he gave his eldest son and his son a daughter-in-law successively. When it was the turn of the younger son to grow old, all the savings that the family had had earlier would be exhausted.For this reason, the marriage of the younger son has been delayed.

In addition to her son, Widow Wang has another daughter who is [-] this year. She looks like Zhou Zheng, and she is also diligent.

When Mrs. Qin found Widow Wang in front of her, Widow Wang wanted to ask her younger daughter to come out and earn the salary, but she was stopped by her eldest son when she agreed.

It is said that the girl's family is about to come to discuss the marriage, and then do the publicity work, I am afraid that it will cause gossip in the village.

Widow Wang's family was in poor conditions, and it was difficult for several children to discuss their parents when they were old. When she heard the eldest son's words, Widow Wang hesitated.

But if you don't go, the family will only have a few acres of land and an ancestral tofu business.I can barely maintain the family's food rations because I am busy every day. It is not easy to save more money to ask for a daughter-in-law for my younger son, and to save a dowry for my younger daughter in the future.

There is a full wage of 25 Wen a day, and the work is easy. The village men who are almost at the top have to go to the town to do big labor wages.

Besides, it is not possible for a village man to go to the town to take a part-time job every day. If he works today, he will not work tomorrow. It all depends on luck.Where can I compare this monthly salary, not to mention stability, it's close to home.The food and drink expenses can be scraped together at home, and there is no need to spend extra money.This can save a lot of money.

If Mrs. Qin hadn't made it clear that the Gu family business market only hired young girls and wives, Widow Wang would have wanted to send her three sons to the door together.

Later, the family discussed it, and since the unmarried daughter-in-law was inconvenient to go, they let the two daughters-in-law come forward.

Widow Wang's eldest daughter-in-law, who is 25-[-] this year, is shrewd and aggressive. She is good at doing things, but her temper is too big, her mouth is broken, and she often offends people.On the contrary, the second daughter-in-law is much more honest and kind.

Mrs. Qin thought that the Gu family opened the door to do business, and naturally she couldn't invite someone who could easily offend others by talking too much, so she made the decision to decide on the second daughter-in-law of Widow Wang, Song Wanyue.

In addition to Song Wanyue, there is another daughter of the Liu family in the east of the village.

The Liu family's daughter's name is Liu Xiaoe, she is nineteen years old, and she is not married yet.Liu Xiaoe also has some famous places in Xiaoqi Village, but her reputation is not very good.

The Liu family is in good condition, and there is only Liu Xiaoe as a daughter, so the couple dote on this daughter very much.

When Liu Xiaoe was in her teens, she ordered a marriage, and the boy was the youngest son of a family named Yu in the next village.My father-in-law is a child, and several children have been raised since childhood, and their behavior rules outside are good. In the eyes of outsiders, it is considered to be the best marriage.

It's a pity that some things are always seen as bright by others, but the suffering inside is like drinking water and knowing it.

The Yu family cultivated and studied heirlooms, and had a good reputation in Shiliba Village, but who would have thought that the son taught by such a family would be a prodigal son with a wicked heart.

It is said that the youngest son of the Yu family secretly went to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion in the town after he became an adult. In fact, he was just curious at first, and it was not a big deal to be brought by other students in the school to see the world.But after thinking about it once or twice, the youngest son of the Yu family became obsessed, followed by not thinking about his studies, and his grades plummeted.

He Song Town is such a big place, and soon the story of the youngest son of the Yu family spread to Xiaoqi Village and was known to the Liu family.

The Liu family was naturally unhappy, and went to the Yu family to ask about this time in person.

The Yu family knew that their son was inauthentic, and personally tied the younger son in front of the Liu family, and beat him firmly.

The Liu family believed the Yu family's guarantee, and this matter passed.

Until Liu Xiaoye was 14 years old, when the two families were preparing to discuss the matter of marriage, the two families suddenly fell out.

Specifically because of the falling out, the two families kept silent at first.It wasn't until half a year later that rumors began to spread. First, it was said that the Yu family had found a fortune-teller, and it was calculated that Liu Xiaoe's horoscope did not match the Yu family's.Later, it was said that Liu Xiao'e's body was not good, and she was afraid that she would not be able to have children, so she was annulled.

It's even worse if gossip is passed on in the back.

Talking about Liu Xiaomo's Kefu Kezi, and also that Liu Xiaoe's misbehavior provokes bees and butterflies, the rumors spread in several villages, and there are all kinds of nonsense.

This kind of nonsense is really vicious to the reputation of a woman who has not left the cabinet. If you encounter a little girl with a soft personality, you are afraid that you will be forced to jump into the river and end it with death.

Fortunately, Liu Xiao'e is not a weak character.Although because of this, he was locked up at home for two months and didn't want to see anyone, but when he came out again, he suddenly made a statement.

She was not divorced by the Yu family, but Liu Xiaoe didn't like the youngest son of the Yu family and was unwilling to marry into the Yu family.
