Space Farming: The Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Excessively

Chapter 53: Poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, rich in the mountains with distant rel

The boss immediately brought paper and brushes.

After Gu Rao drew the pattern on the straw paper, he asked, "How much does a casserole cost?"

The boss looked at the papyrus.

"A large casserole like this costs four cents a piece, and a small one costs three cents."

Gu Rao did the math.

"Thirty small casseroles are equivalent to ninety cents, and twenty large casseroles are equivalent to eighty cents. A total of one hundred and seventy cents. I'll give you a deposit of fifty cents first."

"My family lives in South Street. I live in the third house across from Shiqiao. I will give you the remaining one hundred and twenty coins after you deliver the casserole to my door."

The boss nodded happily.

"it is good."

Gu Rao added, "We have a lot of things on hand, and we can't even carry the pots and pans we just bought. Can you help us deliver them to our door in the afternoon when you're not busy?"

The boss readily agreed.

"can."

-

On their way back, Gu Rao and Bieye were stopped by an aunt. Gu Rao saw that the aunt looked familiar, but he didn't recognize who it was for a moment.

Bieye shouted, "Aunt Zhu."

Aunt Zhu led a little boy with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head, who was clamoring for meat, to Bieye and Gu Rao, looked them over, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, you are more energetic than before."

"Are you used to living in the town?"

Beyeye nodded.

"Habit."

Aunt Zhu looked a little envious and said with emotion, "You have to spend money to eat, drink and have sex in the town, but you have established a foothold in the town so quickly."

"Back then, I always felt that you would be very successful in the future, Bieye. No, you are becoming more successful now. When you become a wealthy member of the Communist Party of China, don't forget us poor relatives."

Bieye didn't know how to answer the call.

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Auntie is joking. We look optimistic on the outside, but we are actually not having a good time behind the scenes. We borrow money from Uncle Xu's family to live."

Aunt Zhu was stunned for a moment. She gave up her original intention of asking them to borrow some money to sell meat, and she had no interest in continuing the conversation. She left on the pretext of going back early to cook for the family.

Gu Rao was very interested.

"Aunt Zhu, we will open for business the day after tomorrow. If you have time, come with your blind dates to support us and take care of our business."

"I don't know how long it will take Uncle Xu's money to be repaid. I see that the borrowed money is almost used up. If I don't open the business, I will be unable to open the pot."

A hint of sadness appeared on his face at the right time.

Aunt Zhu felt her heart tightening. She thought her family was already in dire straits, but just now her son begged for meat, but she was not willing to spend money to buy it.

I didn't expect that the other family's life would be more difficult than mine. They wouldn't be so shameless as to ask me to borrow money, would they?

I am really afraid of what will happen.

Gu Rao showed an embarrassed smile and asked with a shy face, "Aunt Zhu, do you think you can lend me a tael of silver to help us get through the current difficulties?"

"When the family was separated last time, my husband gave away almost all the money he had saved, leaving only a little money. After renting the house, there was nothing left."

"The money Uncle Xu borrowed is gone to buy some furniture. We can't even afford food. We have been eating steamed buns for several days and there is no taste in our mouths."

"You can lend us a tael of silver so that we can have a decent meal. I haven't had sweet-scented osmanthus cake for a long time, and I haven't even tasted the meat. I'm really hungry."

"Don't worry, we will open for business the day after tomorrow. When we make money, we will definitely pay you back first!"

Aunt Zhu's face twitched.

We haven't even opened the business yet, so we have arranged all the money we will earn in the future. It's okay to say that we have earned it, but what if we not only don't earn any money but also repay it?

If business was really that easy, wouldn’t everyone go into business?

Who wants to live a miserable life holding on to that little bit of land!

If this money is lent out, it will definitely never be returned!

Xu Yuan is really good at it. Why is he so stupid that he lends money to a poor guy? Bieye lives in the town now and hasn't gone out hunting, so where can he make money to pay back the money?

Moreover, this little daughter-in-law really dares to open her mouth and wants to borrow a tael of silver. Does she really think that the money is brought by the strong wind? He also wanted to borrow money to buy uneconomical cakes and meat, which shows that he is not a person who knows how to live. No matter how much wealth he has, he can lose it all.

Bieye's vision is really bad.

Why couldn't you think of buying such a woman who didn't know how to live?

This is the disadvantage of not having biological parents to help choose. I don’t know that when choosing a daughter-in-law, you can’t just look at the face. Good-looking people generally don’t live well.

When choosing a daughter-in-law, you should still look for someone who is diligent and thrifty in managing the household, hard-working, good-looking but not enough to make a living.

"Bye Ye, wife, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just..." He bent down to pick up his five-year-old son who was clamoring for meat, and sighed, "You have also seen that our family has not eaten meat for a long time. ”

"If I had money, I would have bought meat for my son."

Gu Rao's eyes were filled with regret, and he seemed a little bit unwilling to give up.

"Aunt Zhu, tell the truth. Are you worried that we won't pay back the money, so you don't want to lend it to me? I can write you an IOU, and if we don't pay back the money, we will be sent to see the official."

"What do you think of this?"

Aunt Zhu's heart was very tense.

"It's not that I don't believe you. I believe in Bieye's character and know that he will never borrow money and not repay it. It's just that I really don't have the money to lend it out, and my family's money is not enough to spend."

"I'm still thinking of going to the town in a few days to sell some food in exchange for money."

"How about I go ask other people in the village for you?"

Gu Rao's eyes lit up.

"Then thank you Aunt Zhu. Please help us ask. If you really help us borrow money, we will definitely thank you in the future."

As for how to express my gratitude specifically, I didn’t mention a single word.

Aunt Zhu's smile didn't reach her eyes.

"sure."

"It's really getting late. If we don't go back, the boss will make a fuss, and the children will be hungry."

Only then did Gu Rao let him go.

When Aunt Zhu left, she told her back that she must remember to ask who could lend them money after returning to the village.

Aunt Zhu quickened her pace and left almost running.

When Aunt Zhu's figure disappeared, Gu Rao finally couldn't help laughing without any image. He took Bieye's arm, turned to him and said with a smile, "Did you see the way she ran away just now?"

"As if you are afraid of being entangled with us!"

"Hahaha……"

"so funny!"

Women at this time are very particular about not showing their smiles. Even women in the countryside have to take some care before leaving the court, and newly married wives will also pay attention.

Gu Rao smiled so well that she showed a row of neat teeth, completely different from other reserved and shy little wives.

But Bieye was infected by her smile and thought she looked beautiful when she smiled. The corners of her mouth curved up and asked, "Why did you ask her to borrow money just now?"

Gu Rao's smile faded slightly.

"When you are poor in the busy city, you have no one to care about you; when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives."

"Perhaps I have met that kind of people a lot. When I saw her coming to say hello, I had the gut feeling that she wanted to borrow money from us, so I simply pretended to be poor and asked her to borrow money."

"She was afraid that we would depend on her, so she naturally found ways to escape."

"You should also remember from now on: don't show off your wealth, don't be arrogant when you are proud, and avoid attracting concern and hatred from others. It's hard to guard against villains. It's better to be careful."
