Chapter 80 Scramble

Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and kowtowed several times, and everyone present heard a loud muffled sound.

Mrs. Liu is Gu Laosan's mother-in-law, and she can be considered Gu Mingda's elder. Gu Mingda did not dare to accept her courtesy, so he stepped aside and pulled Mrs. Gu over.

Mrs. Gu had been sulking for a long time because of the tofu thing. If someone else had stolen the formula, she would have called on her a long time ago. But it happened that it was Liu Erni who did this, her own daughter-in-law.

She was beaten and beaten at home for many days, and Liu Erni suffered in a helpless manner. The Liu family outside directly squeezed the Gu family's tofu business. In fact, Mrs. Gu's anger had been accumulated in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.

Now, as Mrs. Liu knelt down like this, the anger in Mrs. Gu's heart suddenly dissipated, and the depression that had tortured her for a long time completely disappeared.

"Sister-in-law, we are all from the same village, and we are still sons and daughters. Please spare us this time." Mrs. Liu knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.

Liu Erni also helped.

Mrs. Gu put on her posture, and when she felt comfortable enough, Gu Mingda pretended to say: "Mom, although Aunt Liu kowtows to apologize, this matter is related to the future of our descendants after all. I have thought about it over and over again. , I still think I have to go to the Yamen.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu naturally cried for her father and mother again.

However, Mrs. Gu received Gu Mingda's hint that the mother and son did not need to communicate in advance. At this time, one was a good person and the other was a bad person.

"Second brother, after all, your Aunt Liu is Xiaoya and Xiaobao's grandmother. This...is really going to send her to the Yamen. If there is a fuss, people in the village will laugh at it and say that our family is too careless..."

Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Mrs. Liu immediately got excited and nodded vigorously: "Xiucai Gong, for the sake of Xiaobao and for the sake of our Erni giving birth to two children for your old Gu family, Please spare us this time."

Gu Lao Niang took advantage of the opportunity to go down the slope, glanced at Gu Mingda, and said: "Second brother, for the sake of the children, let's forget about it."

Gu Mingda looked ugly and said: "This matter can't be just let go so casually!"

Chen Chunhua also echoed loudly from the side, saying: "Either go to jail, or pay compensation. Give us my family's 10,000 taels of silver!"

When everyone present heard this, they all looked at Chen Chunhua strangely.

Uncle Chen couldn't help but stretched out his hand to give her a hand and whispered advice.

Chen Chunhua became anxious and said: "Why don't you let me ask for money? My second brother has calculated the accounts clearly. It's ten thousand taels of silver. Why can our big house get half of it!"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "You can't get out ten thousand taels of silver even if you sell our whole family! If you really want so much money, you might as well kill me! Isn't it okay if my family doesn't sell tofu?"

Chen Chunhua immediately said viciously: "If you don't pay, you will pay with your life!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Erni was so angry that she almost fainted and hit Chen Chunhua on the spot: "If you dare to kill my mother and brother, I will kill you!"

Mrs. Gu just wanted to see the Liu family's jokes, not her own. She frowned when she saw the two daughters-in-law fighting together.

Niu Niu immediately reminded Gu Mingda: "Dad, grandma is unhappy again!"

Gu Mingda did not expect that things would develop to this point. Now it is just the elder sister-in-law and the third younger brother and sister fighting, but if they continue to be involved, maybe the elder brother and the third younger brother will become enemies.

But it was not convenient for him to come forward about the matter between the sisters-in-law, so he glanced at Zhang Yunniang.

Zhang Yunniang immediately understood and shouted loudly: "Okay! Why are you making such a fuss!"

The sisters-in-law who were fighting were stunned.

Mrs. Gu just came to her senses and reprimanded the two of them as mother-in-law: "Old Gu's family is going to lose face to you. Boss and third, you still don't care. If you don't, you two will be kicked out together!"

Gu Boss and Gu Laosan quickly pulled their wives back.

Liu Erni's hair was disheveled at this time, but she still cared about her parents' family. She said to Mrs. Gu, "Mom, can the tofu incident just go away? Do we really want Xiaobao to lose his grandmother and uncle?"

Mrs. Gu darkened her face and said: "The Liu family is not allowed to sell tofu anymore." Chen Chunhua was anxious: "Mom, how can you give them such a cheap price! Make them pay! If they don't have 10,000 taels, forget it, at least 100 taels must be paid. !”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but said: "If my family had one hundred taels of silver, my son would not be a bachelor."

Liu Erni also helped: "My parents don't have money, so don't think about it."

Old lady Gu looked at Gu Mingda, who shook his head gently. The old lady naturally understood what her son meant, which was that he did not agree to ask for money.

"If there is not a hundred taels, there are always dozens of taels. You have been selling tofu for two months, haven't you made any money yet?" Chen Chunhua said angrily.

Mrs. Liu said: "My tofu is sold cheaply, but I can't make that much money, so I bought a big stone mill and put all the money I earned into it."

Chen Chunhua immediately asked for the big stone mill.

When making tofu, always borrowing a grindstone from someone else's house was like having someone's neck stuck, so the Liu family simply used a stone grinder. Now that Chen Chunhua was asking for it, how could they be willing to give it to them.

As the two of them were arguing, Gu Mingda suddenly said: "We don't want your family to lose money, and we don't want your family's stone mill."

"His second uncle!" Chen Chunhua couldn't help but scream.

Gu Mingda didn't look at her, but looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "I want your four sons to run around the village three times tomorrow, shouting while running, saying that you know you are wrong and will never steal other people's secret recipes again. "

Compared with going to the Yamen or losing money and things, this plan only hurts face. Although the four sons were reluctant, Mrs. Liu agreed immediately.

After the Liu family's affairs were settled, Gu Mingda turned around, cupped his hands towards the head of the Gu family, and said, "Uncle, there are many things in the family that make you laugh."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Gu waved his hand and said with approval: "Xiao Er, you handled this matter very well. We are all relatives. If we have to go to the Yamen, you will get a reputation for being mean."

After the family scandal is dealt with, the next step is the main event of family separation.

Mrs. Liu was standing there with her four sons, but Gu Mingda asked meaningfully: "Is the rule of the Liu family that five people should take charge of the affairs together?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the miserable way she had been treated by Gu Mingda. Only her eldest son, Liu Dashan, was left behind, and she took the remaining three sons and ran out. No matter what Liu Erni's eyes suggested, She no longer dared to think of any idea of ​​sharing more family wealth from the Gu family's second wife.

After leaving the gate of the Gu family, Liu Yao'er, who had not yet married, asked eagerly: "Mom, are we really going to stop doing the tofu business? Will the stone mill be bought in vain? When can I save enough money to marry a wife?"

Mrs. Liu had a gloomy face and said, "Do it, why don't you do it!"

"Aren't you afraid of entering the Yamen anymore? Aren't you afraid of Gu Laoer?" Liu Saner asked cautiously.

Madam Liu said: "Gu Laoer is indeed capable, but I don't believe he stays in the village every day!"

After hearing this, the three sons suddenly felt that it made sense.

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "They are all in the tofu business. Why can the old Gu family earn a hundred cash a day, while my family only earns twenty or thirty cash? We will also raise the price later!"

The Gu family behind them had already begun to fight for each other.

Mrs. Gu originally thought that she and her husband would be pushed around by the boss and the third child, but she did not expect that after her sons went back to the room to discuss the matter all night, she would become the favorite.

Boss Gu: "Mom, you will live with us from now on."

Gu Laosan was also very anxious: "Mom, Erni and I really want to support you in your old age. You can live with us from now on!"
