"Hide? Grandpa, our family only has such a large piece of land. Even if I want to hide it, I have no place!" Gu Jiu had long expected that such a day would come, and he made up a reason to Gu Jing and Ye Qing to hide the food. They were all crammed into the space, and if it weren't for the fact that no living things could enter the space, the pair of rabbits would also be hidden.
Mr. Gu obviously didn't believe it and snorted coldly: "I know how much grain you have harvested! One adult and two children can't eat so much!"
"It's potatoes instead. Two kilograms of grain and one potato. Otherwise, grandpa would think where the potatoes came from!"
"Two kilograms?" Mr. Gu's eyes were dark, and the traces of time cracked in an instant: "Gu Jiu, after all, grandpa has been studying for so many years, and even with your little thoughts, grandpa knows what's going on with his eyes closed! Tell me honestly, in the end, Where did you put the food?"
"Grandpa doesn't believe it, so there's nothing I can do about it."
Gu Jiu spread his hands, turned around and entered the house of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.
Zhao looked at Gu Jiu dumbfounded. In addition to shock, his eyes looked more like he was sizing up a fool. Even when the harvest is good, people in the village will replace the good food with smaller quantities in order to save more food and eat it for a longer period of time.
In the current situation of insufficient food, Gu Jiu actually used more food to exchange for something delicious but only for a short time? She doesn't want to live anymore?
She wouldn't want to ask for more subsidies from the court!
Zhao's eyes widened immediately when she thought of this. Fortunately, she had been praising this girl in her heart just now. She didn't expect that she was so vicious at such a young age! The imperial government's aid is all distributed after the Chinese New Year, but it will not be more just because you ask for more, but it will be calculated on a per capita basis. If Gu Jiu wants more, he will definitely snatch it from them!
Mrs. Zhao turned her head and looked at the food that was taken out, which strengthened her idea!
Want more? Humph, we have to see if Zhao Xiuer agrees!
Everyone watched Gu Jiu enter the house without being anxious at all. The main house where Mr. Gu lived was the most special. It was divided into three rooms, inside and outside. Food was placed in the middle room to prevent anyone from stealing food in the middle of the night. But what if Gu Jiu goes in now? If they don't agree, can she still rob them?
Opening the door, I saw bags of grain flour and dried wild vegetables on the left side of the room, and more than twenty bundles of firewood on the right side.
After closing the door, Gu Jiu walked to the multigrain flour, picked up a bag and placed it in the space. Then he picked up the nearest bag of multigrain flour and walked out.
"Grandpa, as you just said, I will take this bag."
"Dreaming!"
Zhao rushed forward and took back the multigrain flour from Gu Jiu's hand. She paid others to grind it, but not everyone could afford it.
"Second Aunt, what do you mean?"
"That's what I mean." Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at Gu Jiu with a sideways look, her whole body showing that she was superior to others.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang came over, her eyes still stained with red from crying, and she said like a good old person: "Jiu'er, although you have little food, you still need potatoes and meat, which adds up to a lot of money." There are more rabbits than we have! Although there are two rabbits, the eldest aunt knows that you are reluctant to part with them. In this way, the eldest aunt will not ask you for rabbits. Just take three potatoes and we will end it. From now on, it will be with you. As I said, if a family does not talk about the two families, the past will be wiped out."
Gu Jiu sneered in his heart, do you really think that I am submissive to you by agreeing to the deal?
Old Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Jiu for a long time without saying a word and wanted to open her mouth to curse. How could she do it without the rabbit? She was still waiting for Gu Jiu to accept the potatoes before asking for the rabbit. How could her eldest grandson eat the meat on time in the evening after he was so tired?
Realizing Mrs. Gu's intention, Wang quickly gave her a wink. She now sees clearly that the things in the third bedroom can be moved away as long as Gu Jiu agrees. Who would feel bad about the things! Besides, her son likes to eat potatoes the most. If she can fool Gu Jiu, she might be able to trick her into converting the remaining grain into potatoes and give them to them for free!
