Mrs. Qian thought about it, pulled Gu Zhong beside her, and said in a low voice: "I thought about buying this girl to be a child bride for Bao'er, so that I don't have to spend money to get a wife in the future. Besides, our family has little labor, and Xing'er still has I can help with some work in the fields, but she is old and will get married in a year or two. Will the family rely on you as a laborer in the future? Besides, it is still cost-effective for just a bucket of rice. "

Gu Zhong frowned, "That's good, but how can we make a living now?"

Qian lowered his voice, "Don't you still have a second child?"

"Their family also took advantage of hundreds of taels of silver. We really have no food to eat. How can Gu Laoer watch your eldest brother starve to death?"

Gu Zhong was silent for a while, "If you insist on buying it, then go ahead and buy it."

After receiving Gu Zhong's agreement, Qian straightened her waist and looked at the woman squatting on the ground, "I want this girl, just a bucket of cornmeal!"

The woman seemed to be hit by the surprise and was speechless for a long time.

Mr. Qian stood up and said, "Do you have a grain bag? Bring a bag and I'll pack it for you."

Baoer started arguing, "Mom, I don't want a wife. I told you I don't want a wife!"

Qian coaxed him, "I bought you a horse to ride on, not a wife."

Baoer instantly became happy and clapped his hands, "Oh, there's a horse to ride, there's a horse to ride."

The woman looked at Bao'er with a hesitant look on her face. She suddenly gritted her teeth, unpacked her bag, took out a bag, and walked with Qian to the mule cart.

Qian poured half a bag of cornmeal into the woman's hands, but the woman refused, "There's not even a bucket here, give me some more."

Qian squeezed the bag tightly and said, "Why is there not a bucket? Look, the bag is half full. There is a bucket designated."

Gu Fei glanced at it and suddenly said, "Mom, don't we have a Sheng at home? Where is he?"

Mrs. Chen said loudly: "It's in the mule cart. Go look for it."

Gu Fei got up and went to the mule cart, pretending to rummage around, but in fact he took out the wooden sheng at home from the space.

She handed it to Lian'er, "Take it to your mother."

Lian'er took it gratefully and hurried to her mother's side.

Qian had already heard what Gu Fei said, and when she saw Lian'er coming over with a measuring tool, she was so angry that she kicked Ah Huang from the Gu Rong family, "Get out of here, you meddling dog!"

The skinny Ah Huang whimpered and ran away.

This dog is also pitiful. My uncle's family didn't want to take it away in the first place. It insisted on following him, and there was nothing for it to eat. It just wanted to find some bark and grass roots, or eat some food to stay alive.

The uncle next to him sneered: "Did my Ah Huang provoke you? Your kick will definitely cause internal injuries to him. If he has any shortcomings, please pay me for it!"

Qian made a "poof" sound and saw Lian'er and her mother taking another bag and pouring the cornmeal into it one liter at a time.

A bucket of rice weighs ten liters, and half a bag of cornmeal weighs only six liters. The woman pulled Qian and said, "I can't say it's not enough. It's too big of a difference. Please give me another four liters."

Qian cursed and had no choice but to measure another four liters of cornmeal for the woman.

The woman tied the bag tightly and quickly walked aside with her son holding the bag.

Lian'er returned Gu Fei's favor and stood there, not knowing whether she should follow her mother or go to Qian's side.

Qian gave her a fierce look, very unwilling, and wanted to find some work for her, but there was really no work at the moment, so she had to say: "Damn girl, come here, watch Bao'er, don't let him run away. "
