Chapter 5814 I Was Deceived Again
Gu's mother stared at Gu's father in a daze, this... just didn't borrow it?

"Didn't you borrow a penny?" She didn't give up and asked.

Gu's father snorted coldly, "You don't need to borrow a penny, they send a beggar, do you think I will ask for it?"

Gu's mother thought so too, even if Zhihua didn't get into Juren, he was still a scholar.

Even if the Gu family didn't have that hundred acres of fertile land, it was still a wealthy family in Wanghai County who ran a small business, with a penny?I would rather starve to death than have it!
"Shuhua."

"Auntie, I'm here, what's your order?"

"Go and bring my casket to your uncle."

"Ah."

Shuhua stood up and brought the jewelry box to the table over there, and pushed it in front of Father Gu.

"Open it." Mother Gu ordered again.

"Ah."

With a click, the hidden buckle of the jewelry box popped open, and the jewels shone on Gu's father's face.

His eyes lit up, looking at the contents of the jewelry box: "So much?"

Gu's mother said: "Well, we women are different from you men. When we have a lot of money, we want to buy ourselves some jewelry or something to show off. I originally thought that Zhihua would be admitted to Jinshi in the future, so I went to talk to those bigger men outside. Officials and wives drink tea without throwing away noodles..."

"You can count it, whether you sell it or pawn it, at least put together the 500 taels of silver to rescue your son, so that the green hills will be left without fear of no firewood, Shuhua, do you think I'm right?"

Shuhua was staring at the jewelry in the jewelry box in a daze, and when she heard Gu's mother's question, she hurriedly came back to her senses.

"Auntie is right, I don't have anything valuable, just the pair of silver earrings on my ears can make up three melons and two dates." As she spoke, she took off the silver earrings from both ears and put them on the table." As long as Zhihua can come back, Xin'er and I can rely on it, and the one in my stomach is the same."

Mother Gu was moved by Shuhua's words, she took off the bracelet and ring in her hand, "You can go all out for Zhihua, I am even better as a mother, Father Zhihua, don't hesitate, take these jewelry and exchange them Money, look back and see how much is still missing, let’s continue to think about it.”

Father Gu locked the jewelry box again, tucked it under his arm and stood up, "That's okay, I also have a few things in my collection there, and I used them to support the scene, so I took them together and sold them."

Gu's father took two steps, but Gu's mother called to stop him.

"What? Is there something else for me?" he asked.

Gu's mother smiled wryly, "No more, what else is my own old bone, it's worthless."

"Then why are you calling me?" He asked again.

Gu's mother said: "I'm telling you to be more careful, don't let people give you a trick, and bring the old Uncle Gen and his son, they have been working in our house for several years, and they can be regarded as servants who know everything."

Gu's father waved his hand: "I've been in business for decades, so I haven't seen any monsters and goblins? It's alright, alright, don't worry about it, just rest in peace and recuperate!"

After Gu's father left, Gu's mother drank a few sips of medicine, and asked Shuhua who was waiting on the bedside: "How long has your uncle been gone?"

Shuhua glanced at the hourglass on the bedside, "The hourglass has turned back and forth four times, it's been nearly two hours!"

"Two hours? It's time to come back!" Mother Gu said.

Shuhua glanced at the door of the house, "Perhaps he is on his way back."

"Shuhua, my aunt's heart is beating suddenly, she is very uneasy!"

"Auntie, don't worry. Uncle is well-informed. With Uncle Gen and his son following him, everything will be fine."

"Well, I hope so, Shuhua, help me go to the small Buddha hall to offer incense to the gods and Buddhas, and pray to the gods and Buddhas to bless our family to survive the disaster as soon as possible."
