I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 48 Return to Baijia Village

Gu Yongming put the silver ingot in Jia Guizhi's palm and said, "This is a reward from Mr. Li who bought several half-grown wild boars from our family. He happened to have a distinguished guest at home, and he was very satisfied with the live pigs and rabbits we sent him."

They were rich people, and they had eaten something they liked, which made them proud in front of the guests. So they were so happy that they not only gave them the pig and rabbit money, but also asked the housekeeper to reward them with ten taels of silver.

As for the other prey, "I sold the python, the half-eaten wild boar, and the dead pheasants and rabbits directly to the mountain goods shop in town. The price they offered for the snake gallbladder and snake skin was fair, but the price for the pheasants, rabbits, snake meat and pork was a bit low."

Now that the weather is hot, if the fresh meat is not sold immediately or disposed of, they will have to sell it at a loss the next day.

The people in the mountain product shop are well aware of this, so they deliberately lower the price.

Another family that suffered a small loss like them was Jia Guizhi's fifth cousin's family. The other members of the Jia family gave a good price for the dried chickens and rabbits they sold.

The whole family gathered around the table, watching Jia's father and Gu Yongming weigh the silver and count the copper coins.

"I have a total of twenty-one taels here."

"I have six hundred and thirty-seven coins."

The father-in-law and son-in-law spoke almost at the same time. After they finished reporting the amount, Gu Yongming continued, "The money we spent on the hotel and meals was the money we brought from home, but the one tael and one qian of silver we spent on pork and flour in town was taken from the money given by the mountain goods shop."

Father Jia packed up the silver and copper coins separately and said, "That makes a total of twenty-two taels and seven hundred and thirty-seven coins."

He pushed the purse to Gu Yongming and said, "Keep the money."

Gu Yongming hurriedly said: "It hasn't been divided between you and Yuelan yet!"

Father Jia shook his head, "Don't give us any. We didn't help much."

Gu Yongming disagreed, and Jia Guizhi also disagreed. So the two of them started an extremely fierce dispute with Jia's father and mother over the ownership of the money.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't stand this kind of occasion. She stood up silently, took her own bowls, plates, and wooden basin, and went to the kitchen with Bai Jingzhou to scoop water for washing.

Jia Yuelan followed closely. The little girl was always quiet and this kind of situation was very troublesome for her.

The three little ones worked silently in the kitchen until they had washed the pots and dishes and washed themselves up. Only then did the four adults' pushing and shoving of each other finally come to an end.

In the end, Father and Mother Jia were unable to defeat Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming. They gave Mother Jia the share that Father and Jia Yuelan deserved, not a penny less, and asked her to keep it safely in the cash box.

The victorious Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming went to fetch water and wash up contentedly, while Jia's father and mother, who were forced to give them some silver, looked helpless.

Gu Wenxuan pretended that she knew nothing. She walked out of the kitchen along the wall, but she was wondering in her heart whether Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi would ask to go back to Baijia Village early tomorrow morning.

Bai Jingzhou had the same guess as her. This time, Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi and Gu Wenxuan made a small fortune. Bai Jingzhou felt that they would most likely go home first and share the good news with other members of the Gu family.

Sure enough, the next day, as soon as everyone got up, Jia Guizhi suggested going back to Baijia Village today.

She asked Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, "What do you two think? Do you want to go back with us, or stay in Jiajia Village and continue hunting and collecting herbs?"

Bai Jingzhou said: "I want to go back, and I also have something to give to my parents."

Upon hearing this, Jia Guizhi immediately thought of Bai Jingzhou's Ganoderma lucidum. She said, "Then let's go back together."

Gu Wenxuan, who had not even had time to speak, was skipped by Jia Guizhi:

Although she also planned to return to the village, her mother directly skipped her after Bai Jingzhou's speech. Isn't this behavior of her mother a bit excessive?

Jia Guizhi glanced at her and thought, "How dare I leave you alone? Without Jingzhou, who is holding you back, you don't know where you will go to."

Father and Mother Jia knew that they wanted to send the money back so that Father and Mother Gu would have more financial resources, so they did not make any empty words to keep them.

The two elders took Jia Yuelan and sent them to the village entrance, and then watched them go reluctantly until they were completely gone. After breakfast, the two elders took Jia Yuelan, who had been taught boxing by Gu Wenxuan again, back to their home.

Baijia Village, Gu family.

Seeing Gu Yongming, Jia Guizhi and Gu Wenxuan suddenly return, Li, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, was surprised and asked, "What are you doing..."

The three of them greeted Li with a smile, and Gu Yongming lowered his voice to explain, "It's a good thing."

He invited Li to come into the house and talk with them, and Li followed him into the main room.

Gu Yongming smiled and took out a heavy purse, "Take a look for yourself."

Li glared at him, then opened her purse with a look of amazement. The next moment, her eyes widened.

"This, this..." She wanted to ask where so much silver came from, but in her excitement, her mouth seemed to be sewn shut.

Gu Yongming looked at his mother with a smile, "How is it, is it a good thing?"

Jia Guizhi nudged him with her elbow and said, "Talk to your mother nicely."

Gu Yongming didn't dare to offend both his mother and his wife at the same time. He sat upright and told Li the whole story.

Mrs. Li was amazed when she heard this. She didn't expect that her granddaughter was so strong.

In response to this, Gu Wenxuan explained that she had actually been very strong before, and she didn't know whether it was because she had eaten too many delicious foods during this period, or because her master had given her several medicinal baths. In short, her strength had become greater without her noticing.

When Li and others heard this, they immediately concluded that this must be the result of Gu Wenxuan's fabricated "medicinal bath".

Jia Guizhi also said, "There are so many families richer than us. The children of those families have been eating well since childhood, but they have never grown as strong as you."

Li agreed, "Yes, it must be the credit of your master's medicinal bath."

Gu Wenxuan asked tentatively: "Couldn't it be that I am gifted?"

Jia Guizhi glared at her daughter without hesitation, "Look at your father, then look at your mother. How do you think we, two ordinary people, could have given birth to someone as gifted as you?"

Gu Wenxuan:......

Okay, if she continues talking about this she will face a crisis about her background, this is a dangerous topic.

She coughed lightly, "You are right, please continue."

Jia Guizhi glared at her and said, "Be nice to your master in the future!"

Regardless of whether she has any secrets or not, at least she is doing her best to educate her daughter.

Can a person make such great progress in such a short period of time? Is this something that ordinary people can do? In places that they can't see, she doesn't know how many good things she has used for her daughter.
