Chapter 1079 Xiao Gu Makes His Own Decision
Ninety percent of people think that silver notes/treasure notes are money and are used to buy things.
Only a very few people know that it is a zero-cost tool for making money off countless households; it is an open and indestructible conspiracy.
Those who can understand its essence are either those who have been clearly told by their elders and famous teachers, or those who have figured it out through experience of living for most of their lives.
Those who can understand it after living for most of their lives are already more perceptive than most people.
People like Xiao Gu who can understand the essence of silver bills at such a young age are truly rare.
“Precocious children must be guided as early as possible, otherwise they may harm themselves or go astray. I cherish their talent, which is why I'm shamelessly telling you this. Please don't think I'm being nosy.” Madam Guan stopped there and got up to take her leave: “Great-grandmother, I'm off. If there's anything to discuss about Xiao Mi’s coming-of-age ceremony, just send someone to let me know.”
The great-grandmother?
This title is the sophistication that Mrs. Guan has accumulated throughout her life.
Qin Xiaomi, who was eavesdropping, was convinced and kept nodding to express her admiration.
They hurriedly took Jiang Xiaozhu and slipped away to avoid being discovered by Madam Guan and her grandmother.
Her actions were seen by Qin Xiaogu, who shook her head helplessly: "You are so naughty."
Guan Shuli said: "That's good. Now she looks like a half-grown child who hasn't reached the age of marriage yet."
It's really a headache when people use tricks to kill people.
Aunt Qin laughed when she heard this and looked up at him: "You sound like my parents."
The man she married was also very interesting. Sometimes he thought like the older generation, always hoping that the younger generation would be like normal children. Sometimes he was rebellious, helping the younger generation to overturn the old rules.
Guan Shuli was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sister Shu, do you think I'm too old?"
ha?
Aunt Qin laughed out loud: "What nonsense are you thinking about now?"
"Look, what a good relationship they have. They can even laugh out loud while waiting for an old lady. As a mother, you can rest assured, right?" Old Lady Guan said to Grandma Qin.
"I feel most relieved to leave Shu Jie'er to son-in-law Guan." Grandma Qin looked at Qin Xiaogu and Guan Shuli, a perfect match, with joy all over her body. She was extremely satisfied with her daughter's destination.
"Mom, grandma, you have finished talking." Qin Xiaogu pulled away the clerk's hand and walked towards Qin Grandma and the others, but she didn't pull it off. She was supported by the clerk and walked towards the two elders.
After some further hesitation, the Guan family finally said goodbye and went home.
That night, Grandma Qin and Grandpa Qin closed the door and talked about Qin Xiaogu.
The next day at breakfast, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin said to Qin Xiaogu, "Xiaogu, follow your own ideas and don't worry about us... Your life is yours, not ours. You should decide how to go about it yourself."
Qin Xiaogu was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. She knelt down on the spot, kowtowed to her grandparents, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for loving me. Don't worry, I won't rush into anything. I will only take steady steps and bring more protection to our family."
"Silly child, get up quickly..."
"Don't say that. Why are you saying that? You're still so young. You should be willful."
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin couldn't hold it in any longer and helped Qin Xiaogu up... If it wasn't the first month of the year, the three of them would have hugged each other and cried bitterly.
If you can't cry loudly, you can only vent your emotions by beating him.
Uncle Qin was targeted by both Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin. One of them raised a big slap, and the other picked up a short-handled broom, and started beating him.
"Dad and Mom, you are being unreasonable! Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, hurry back to our room and take the private money away, otherwise the two elders will confiscate our private money if they fail to beat me!"
As Uncle Qin said this, he hurriedly escaped from the back door of the house. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin chased him, and there was chaos all the way. Several families came to watch the fun, which made Aunt Qin Liu so happy that she had no time to scold Qin Ying for giving too much New Year's gift to her father-in-law's family.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, the day Lu Jiu had agreed with her parents to go back to her parents' home, so she got up early in the morning to prepare gifts.
As for Han Wanniang, she had arranged with her family to return on the ninth day. She and A-Jie would stay at her family home for a few days until the government office reopened, allowing A-Jie to go directly to the county office to take up his post without having to travel back and forth anymore.
Moreover, this arrangement does not affect the old custom of sisters-in-law returning to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Therefore, when Han Wanniang had time, she followed Qin Liupo to the back door and watched the excitement of Uncle Qin being chased and beaten by his parents.
Qin Liupo turned around and saw her second daughter-in-law looking excited. She snorted angrily, "Second daughter-in-law, are you acting like a decent woman? What other daughter-in-law loves gossip like you? Go back to work!"
Isn’t mom the daughter-in-law who loves to read gossip?
Han Wanniang almost blurted out, but luckily she held back: "Hey, daughter-in-law will go back to work now, mother-in-law will watch first, and tell her the follow-up when we have breakfast later."
"Hmph, I'll tell you if you pay me. No way if you want to listen for free!" Qin Liupo complained in her heart. Ajie's wife looked spoiled, but she was a gossipy girl at heart. When she got older, she would probably become the most gossipy daughter-in-law in the town!
Han Wanniang: “…”
My mother-in-law is not only a gossip, but also tries to make money in any way. Fortunately, she is old and has the support of her fifth uncle's family, otherwise she would have gone to jail for making money.
Han Wanniang said nothing and went back to work.
After breakfast, Qin Ying and his wife drove the donkey cart borrowed from Grandpa Qin's house back to the Lu family.
The Lu clan leader's family had been waiting for them for a long time. They were overjoyed to see them return, and the whole house became lively.
After seeing the gifts brought back by her daughter and son-in-law, she was even more delighted and kept saying, "Why did you bring back so many gifts? It's so expensive."
Qin Ying smiled and said, "I'm a new son-in-law. I have to visit relatives in my first year. This cart of gifts is not enough."
After hearing this, the Lu family stopped talking and helped to move and distribute the gifts. They also took the new son-in-law to visit relatives who were closely related or more capable.
The weather was good on the third day of the Lunar New Year and there was no snow. The Qin family had also finished preparing to entertain their new son-in-law, so today, almost every village came out to pay New Year's greetings to the Qin family.
The sentries on half of the street were busy as hell. Captain Zhong sent an additional group of soldiers to guard the area. They simply stopped those who were not close to the Qin family from entering and only registered them. They also compiled a list of people who would be paying New Year's greetings and handed it over to the Qin family.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also exchanged a batch of new copper coins in advance and moved them to the small hut at the Banjie sentry post. According to the value of the gifts given by people who came to pay New Year's greetings, they gave copper coins of different grades as return gifts.
Some paid half a liang of silver, some paid three hundred wen, some paid one hundred wen, and some paid fifty wen.
The children who came to pay New Year's greetings were also given six cents as New Year's money.
Therefore, on this day, the Qin family paid out more than fifty taels of silver... There was no other way, the Qin family was too popular, and as long as the villagers could travel back and forth in one day, they all came to pay New Year's greetings.
Especially the workers, the whole family came together.
However, in order to avoid congestion, the workers went to the New Year's greeting point at the main gate of the medicine shop to pay their New Year's greetings. As for the workers' New Year's gifts, they were all confiscated, but the Qin family gave New Year's money to the children of the workers' families.
Dangdang Dangdang!
Peng Su shouted, "The boss has ordered that after registering for New Year's greetings, you must take your New Year's money and go home. Don't leave any gifts. The boss won't accept them. If you force them, it will be considered a bribe. Bribery is a violation of workplace rules and you will be fired!"
Peng Su and his mother celebrated the New Year in the herbal medicine shop, and this was the best New Year they had ever had since Peng Shuping passed away.
They eat well, wear warm clothes, and no longer have to worry about someone breaking down doors and windows and forcing their way into their home to spend the New Year with them.
The mother and son were very grateful, and since they knew it was a busy day, they volunteered to help.
The workers had been trained. When they heard the call, they did not argue or force the New Year gifts, but obeyed.
So even though there were many workers coming to pay New Year’s greetings, it only took half a day to finish the work.
