I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Gu Wenxuan had no idea what Jia Guizhi was thinking about. She nodded obediently and said "OK", while secretly sighing that her mother, or the ancient people who had not seen the fancy tricks of later generations, were really naive and easy to deceive.

Mrs. Li looked at the mother and daughter with a smile, "With this money, we can prepare a better dowry for Wenxuan."

Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming nodded in unison.

Gu Wenxuan suddenly said, "Grandma, I'm only thirteen years old, so there's no need to worry about the dowry. Instead of keeping the money to buy me a dowry, you might as well buy two or three acres of land for the family."

Li was stunned, and she subconsciously looked at Jia Guizhi and Gu Yongming.

Jia Guizhi frowned, "Wenxuan, you have already given enough for the family."

Gu Yongming also said: "Yes, among the five children in our family, you have suffered the most."

After a pause, he continued, "Jingzhou's family is better off than ours. If your dowry is too little, the villagers will gossip about you."

Gu Wenxuan felt warm in her heart, but she still insisted on her opinion, "But Dad, since your daughter can hunt so many live wild boars in one go, then at my rate of improvement, after one year, or even two years, will I still be short of my own dowry money?"

this......

Not only Gu Yongming, but also Li and Jia Guizhi realized until this time that their family is no longer the same as it used to be.

They all witnessed the speed of Gu Wenxuan's progress. It was just as she said, in a year or even two years, her skills would definitely reach a higher level.

She is already so powerful now. If she can improve further, it will be easy for her to deal with wild boars and sheep, not to mention wolves and bears.

In this way, Gu Wenxuan really doesn't have to worry about her future dowry money at all.

Seeing that they were wavering, Gu Wenxuan struck while the iron was hot, "Not only do we have little land, but we have also been living in this house for so many years, and we may need to tear it down and rebuild it at any time. There are also this year's summer and autumn taxes and labor service, which are more important than buying me a dowry."

Not to mention that she has four younger brothers. It’s not that they don’t want to study, learn medicine or learn other skills, they just can’t afford the money and can’t find the way.

Gu Wenxuan had no objection to them following Gu Yongming to learn martial arts and become hunters in the future, nor did she object to them following Old Man Gu and Second Uncle Gu to farm and become farmers in the future, but she wanted to give them the opportunity to choose.

She hopes that children choose to do something because they want to do it, rather than being forced to do it.

Of course, it would be better for her not to mention this for the time being, otherwise her family would definitely think that she was too whimsical. Before she even learned to walk, she had already started to ambitiously think about how to flap her wings and fly into the sky.

After a suffocating moment of silence, Gu Yongming sighed and patted his daughter's head, "I'll listen to you."

There was helplessness and guilt in his tone, which was the bitter feeling that a man who had been under the heavy pressure of life for a long time could not help but reveal after being forced to compromise with reality.

Jia Guizhi also sighed, "What a damn world."

Li patted her son and daughter-in-law's hands with her warm, calloused hands. "It will get better. It won't be long."

The general trend of the world has become clear. Anyone who is not a fool can see who has already won and who is like a grasshopper in autumn who will not be able to jump for much longer.

Now it can't jump for long, and it is just trying to continue its dying struggle without giving up.

What ordinary people have to do is to try their best to survive the darkest period before dawn.

As long as they can get through it, they will be able to usher in a peaceful and prosperous era with peace and prosperity.

After deciding how to spend the money, the Gu family members went back to their own business.

Bai Jingzhou, who returned to his home a little later than them, was now smiling and sharing the fruits of his labor with his parents.

The other medicinal herbs were fine, but those Ganoderma lucidum really shocked Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi.

The couple looked at each other, and Bai Chong asked, "Do your uncle Gu and the others know that you picked the Ganoderma lucidum?"

Bai Jingzhou nodded, "I know. I said I would give some Ganoderma lucidum powder to my aunts after it was prepared, but they refused and insisted that I bring it all back to you and my mother to sell for money."

Bai Chong breathed a sigh of relief. How to divide the things was secondary. What mattered was whether his son had hidden things from the Gu family.

He said, "Son, we can't keep all the Ganoderma lucidum to ourselves. Ganoderma lucidum is valuable, and your father and I certainly love it, but son, you went into the mountains under the protection of the Gu family after all. Without the Gu family, you wouldn't have been able to collect so many Ganoderma lucidum."

Bai Jingzhou nodded to show that he understood. "Just share it. I have no objection. Not only have I always been protected by Sister Wenxuan, but it was also Sister Wenxuan who first discovered this Ganoderma lucidum. She saw it and came back to call me, so I was able to have such a great harvest."

Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi: ...

The two raised their hands at the same time, and one of them slapped Bai Jingzhou's arm in tacit understanding. Bai Chong was still scolding him, "You little bastard! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

Whoever discovers it first has a bearing on how the Ganoderma lucidum will be distributed. This brat didn't even tell them right away. Did he want them to inadvertently become the greedy villain?

Bai Jingzhou felt that he was really wronged, so he said, "Then I have to continue speaking one sentence at a time, right?"

He only has one mouth! Can he say several words at the same time?

Bai Chong said awkwardly, "Then can't you put the most important thing first?"

Bai Jingzhou felt even more aggrieved, "Then I am not answering your question."

It's impossible for his father to say his father's things and he to say his own things. That would be useless.

Ning Cuizhi tried to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, let's talk business first."

Bai Chong coughed lightly, "Yes, let's talk business first."

What can Bai Jingzhou do? Just accept it.

He said, "It's up to you and my mother to decide how to divide it. I have no opinion."

Bai Chong was very satisfied that he was not greedy. He patted his son's shoulder and discussed with Ning Cuizhi, "How about, after the price of the Ganoderma lucidum is calculated, I will give 60% of the silver to the Gu family, and the other less valuable herbs will be kept by ourselves and not distributed to the Gu family. Do you think this is okay?"

Ning Cuizhi nodded, "Okay."

In fact, their family suffered a small loss with this way of division, but suffering a small loss made them appear more kind and sincere in front of their in-laws, didn't it?

After the couple discussed it, Ning Cuizhi directly opened the cash box and took out some silver money from it, "Here's the travel expenses for you. If you want to go, remember to find a few more people to accompany you."

The price of Ganoderma lucidum is getting higher every year. During the peaceful years of the previous dynasty, one kilogram of the worst quality red Ganoderma lucidum could be bought for more than twenty taels of silver.

But it is different now. The price of the worst quality red ganoderma has doubled to more than 200 taels per catty, and there is still a shortage of demand. It is difficult to buy it even with silver.
