Chapter 221 "Confess?"
"Xiao Niu, you and Guangdan need to clarify the accounting issues. You know how much capital our family has invested. And then--" Grandpa Lin paused here, thought for a moment, and looked at Fang Cuihua.
"Part of the goods we brought back belong to our family, and part of them belong to my brother and Hammer and the others. Xiao Niu knows this, and the accounts have to be settled separately tomorrow." Fang Cuihua said with a smile after she understood what the old man meant.
"Ah."
"That's it?" Lin Daniu next to him felt even more resentful.
"Okay, let's talk about it in private. What a shame!" The old man scolded speechlessly, and then gave Guangdan a look.
Guangdan jogged over and helped his grandfather walk to the old man's room, completely ignoring the resentful look in his old father's eyes.
"Your father has actually been very worried about you during this period of time at home. He is just a weird person." Seeing that Guangdan didn't seem to care about Lin Daniu at all, the old man quietly explained for his eldest son.
"I know, my dad is angry with my mom." After saying that, Guangdan chuckled a few times, and what he didn't say was that he would be fine after his mother "coaxed" him a few times.
After returning to the house, Guangdan quickly used a tinder to light the oil lamp, and helped his grandfather sit down on the edge of the kang.
"Why did you bring back so many things?" Seeing that there was no one else around, Grandpa Lin asked in a low voice.
"Knock Knock-"
Just then, someone knocked on the wooden door, and Guangdan quickly got up to open the door.
"Dad, it's me." Fang Cuihua said with a generous smile.
"Yeah." Although Grandpa Lin had some doubts, he still nodded calmly.
"Last time, the bag didn't contain all the things. There were also some jewelry in it, but I didn't take them out at that time." Fang Cuihua directly said the words she had prepared.
Grandpa Lin was slightly stunned, and looked up at Fang Cuihua in confusion. After a long time, he suddenly realized.
"Did you exchange the jewelry in the capital?"
"Well, I didn't take it out at the time because I wasn't sure if it was safe. After all, the fewer people who know about it, the better. This time in the city, I exchanged it for silver notes. In addition to the money I spent on transporting goods in the city, I still have a lot left."
After Fang Cuihua finished speaking, she took out a purse from her jacket pocket and carefully placed it on the kang table next to Grandpa Lin.
Grandpa Lin picked up the purse with some confusion, moved away from the oil lamp and opened it. There were a few thin silver bills inside.
After taking out the banknote, the old man gasped, his eyes widened, and the bald guy next to him was so scared that he immediately reached out to touch the old man's chest.
"Calm down, grandpa, calm down!!!" Guangdan comforted the frightened old man in a low voice, and looked at his old mother helplessly.
Before, Fang Cuihua said that he didn't need to worry about this matter, so he simply didn't ask about it anymore. But now he saw that his mother directly took out half of the silver notes, which was more than one thousand taels of silver notes. Who could resist this?
"Who else knows about this?" Grandpa Lin asked in a low voice after forcing himself to calm down.
"Just the three of us." Fang Cuihua also responded in a low voice.
"Well, you take the rest. This trip to the capital city was arranged by me. You should be vague about Daniu and don't be too clear." Grandpa Lin took out a silver note for five hundred taels, put the rest back into his purse, and finally handed the purse to Fang Cuihua.
"Dad?" Fang Cuihua hesitated, not knowing whether she should take the purse.
"Take it. Dad knows you are a good person. These are enough for the family to use for many years. You and Daniu will still be the ones to run this family in the future. It's not a big deal to have money in your hands." After saying that, he waved his hand.
Fang Cuihua then took back her purse, looked at the old man again, and then turned and left.
After Fang Cuihua left, Grandpa Lin asked uncertainly, "Was this your idea?"
Guang-Tianzhen Mengdong Wuxie-Dan: "What? This matter has nothing to do with me. It was my mother who paid for Wu Pozi and Tiezi. It was also my mother who paid for the mule."
After saying this, he blinked sincerely to show that he was not lying.
"Our family is not one of great family background. We are poor but united, but it is not easy to get rich overnight. You must not let anyone know about this money. The money I have is enough, and the money in your mother's hand can be kept for you brothers when you grow up." After Grandpa Lin finished speaking, he looked at Guangdan with some relief.
The old man thought that all the luck in the house was brought by Guangdan. With this thought, he felt that the clay Buddha statue of the old woman was not good enough, and he decided to donate some incense money to the temple before the New Year.
As for whether Fang Cuihua had any private money besides the money she took out, the old man never mentioned it again.
After hearing what his grandfather said, Guangdan also readily told him his plans for the coming year.
"Grandpa, Granny Wu used to take care of a medicinal garden in a wealthy family. She knows a lot about growing herbs. I'm thinking of buying some mountain land after the spring and letting my dad grow herbs at home. It would be best if we could buy the thorny mountain. The price of wolfberry in the city is not low."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Grandpa Lin eagerly. Grandpa Lin naturally knew that his son Guangdan was a man with his own ideas. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
Even if the worst result happens and the herbs don't grow well, but we have cows and mules at home now, so even if we grow beans on the mountain land, it will still be an income, right?
After the grandparents and grandchildren whispered to each other for a while, they heard staggering footsteps.
"Grandma is here, I'm going back!" Guangdan got up and left when he saw that the old couple had reached their break time.
When I returned to the house, I immediately saw the steaming wooden barrel next to the washstand at the foot of the house.
"Hurry up and wash your face and feet. I've prepared some water for you." When Gouwei saw Guangdan coming, he quickly pointed at the wooden barrel and said.
"Thank you, brother!"
It was only at this time that Guangdan felt that he had time to spend some time with his dear elder brother, so he did not rush to wash his face, but directly pounced on Gouwei, patted his elder brother's thin shoulder and said:
"Thank you for your hard work during this period!!!"
"Hehehehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's not that hard!" I don't know why Gouwei felt his eyes getting wet as he said this.
