The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug
Chapter 126: Doing What You Can and Spending Money
Tang Jin curled her lips in disdain and said angrily: "Then get out, get out of this house, and see if you can survive!"
"Why should I leave? I have contributed most of the construction of this house and this yard! If anyone is to leave, it should be you!" Kuhuanai's tears instantly flowed out.
She worked hard all her life to raise her children, but why?
When her sons and grandchildren were young, she taught them a lot about how to be a good person.
Why have they all become like this?
Tang Liu laughed dryly. "Oh, stop arguing. What's the point? Mother, why don't you go ask Zhao Ying and ask her if she accidentally missed our family. You've been so kind to their family, it's impossible for them to not even ask about our family."
Kuhuanai sneered: "You also said that it was me who treated them well. Don't you know how you treated them?
Didn't you despise others for being unlucky and poor before? Didn't you want to avoid getting involved with them? Why are you trying to get close to them now?
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! I told He Lizheng not to choose you because you are not worthy!"
The noise from each household in the village could not reach Gu Qinghuai's ears.
After dinner, she gathered her family together for a family meeting.
She first told him about recruiting 30 workers in the village and building the house within a month.
Gu Qingsong frowned and said, "Third sister, thirty people, finish making the adobe bricks and building the house within a month, and pay 40 cents a day. Although this is fast, the cost is very high. In fact, we don't need to be so anxious to build our house. Why don't we build it slowly? It can save a lot of costs."
Third sister is throwing money around!
When he thought about the huge sum of money flowing into other people's pockets, he felt a toothache. No, his heart, liver, and lungs ached. In short, he felt pain everywhere.
After a few days of good life, he did not forget the hard days when he had to endure hunger and rely on drinking water to fill his stomach.
"Song'er, you actually know how to calculate costs. That's great progress," Gu Qinghuai touched Gu Qingsong's little head with appreciation.
Gu Qingsong's face turned red from the compliment, but the corners of his mouth curled up: "Third sister, I also know what time cost, manpower and capital cost are."
Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao looked at him with envy in their eyes.
They both think that the younger brother is very smart.
Gu Qingshan also looked pleased and nodded continuously.
Only Zhao Ying shrank her neck like a quail, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Whenever she needed to express her brain, she was afraid that her daughter would call her name and ask her to speak.
She felt that she had lowered the IQ of Gu Laosi's family. If she were smarter, the four children would definitely be smarter.
Qi Yuanshuo sat aside and picked his fingers silently.
He was a little surprised that they even called him to the family meeting.
He was just Gu Qinghuai's bodyguard, to put it bluntly, just a servant.
However, ever since he entered this family, it seemed that no one treated him as a servant.
"Well, very good. Song'er knows how to draw inferences from one instance to another, has a strong learning ability, and dares to express his own opinions. These are excellent qualities," Gu Qinghuai praised sincerely, without any intention of perfunctorily treating the child. "However, I also have my reasons for doing this. Compared with the 'cost', these reasons are more beneficial to us. This is called weighing the pros and cons."
Everyone looked at her quietly, waiting for her to give a reason.
Qi Yuanshuo also raised his eyes to look at Gu Qinghuai, and when he saw her gaze inadvertently sweeping towards him, he immediately looked away.
He knew that Gu Qinghuai was the head of the family. She was so independent-minded that she would never be manipulated by others.
Besides, she is the only one who can be the head of the family, no one else can do it.
Gu Qinghuai said slowly: "The reason why I recruited workers and accelerated the construction of the house is as follows:
First, the purpose of making money is to enjoy life and live a good life, not to hold on to the money and make our bodies suffer.
Look at our accommodation environment, I believe no one feels comfortable or happy."
Everyone nodded silently.
"Thirty people, forty coins a day, the labor cost for a month is thirty-six taels of silver.
I think it is worthwhile to exchange thirty-six taels of silver for a comfortable, safe and secure accommodation environment. "
Gu Qingsong raised an objection: "Third sister, we do enjoy ourselves like this, but we are spending money too quickly and the little savings at home will soon be gone. We need to be frugal in our daily lives so that we can live a good life longer."
Zhao Ying tugged at her youngest son's sleeve and whispered, "Song'er, listen to your third sister. You don't have so much to say. Your third sister can't be wrong!"
Gu Qingshan also cast a threatening look towards Gu Qingsong, the meaning of which was very clear: If you say anything more, I will beat you up later.
Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have my own opinions, which I think is great. I want to ask you a question. Do you think Third Sister has the ability to earn back the thirty-six taels of silver quickly?"
Gu Qingsong scratched the back of his head, thought about it seriously, and nodded: "Yes, Third Sister has this ability."
The third sister could make fifteen taels of silver by selling crickets, and there were so many soaps to sell, so the thirty-six taels of silver would be back soon.
Gu Qinghuai said confidently: "I have the ability to quickly earn back the money I spend, so I dare to spend a lot of money. This is called acting within one's means. If a family cannot make money, they can only rely on thrift and diligence to maintain their status quo, which is also called acting within one's means.
However, if a family is not only unable to make money but also spends money lavishly, or has the ability to make money but the speed of making money cannot keep up with the speed of spending money, this is called squandering.
"Yes, third sister, I understand," Gu Qingsong nodded seriously.
Qi Yuanshuo suddenly felt like laughing. Gu Qinghuai was teaching his family members as if they were students.
Gu Qinghuai pinched Gu Qingsong's little face and continued, "The second reason is that we need to build several soap workshops as soon as possible. First, to prevent others from peeping and leaking the soap secret recipe, and second, we need a place to dry the soap in the shade. Look, this is the house blueprint I designed."
Adobe house design
Gu Qingsong exclaimed: "Oh my God! We need to build so many rooms!"
Gu Qingshan frowned: "Huai'er, it will cost a lot of money to put up the beams of the house, do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, big brother, you don't need to worry," Gu Qinghuai said calmly.
"Tsk, there are too many rooms here," Zhao Ying said, her hands shaking with shock.
Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao were both excited and nervous.
They must work hard to reduce the burden on their families.
Gu Qinghuai said: "After the house is built, I want to bring my grandmother and uncle back and take care of them in their old age.
The third reason is that there will definitely be more and more soap wholesalers in the future, and many of them will come to our store in person to purchase goods. We need a decent storefront, otherwise, we won’t be able to do big business.
The fourth reason is that building a house with adobe bricks in the hot summer is too hard, and Song'er, Ya and Miaomiao are still growing and cannot do too much heavy work, otherwise they will not grow tall."
When Gu Qingsong heard that the man was not tall, he swallowed what he was about to say.
He wants to grow taller, and he dreams of growing taller.
