Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 167

After all, there is a beginning and an end. If he, Gu Yulin, hadn't borrowed the money first, how could he have come to look for it.

Repaying debts is justified.

The place she is in now does not strictly prohibit usury as it does now. The Holy Majesty has not been enthroned for a long time now. Although the law has also marked that it is not allowed, it is not strict and not perfect.

The small town she lives in is far away from the capital, and the county magistrate won't care about these things after collecting money from the casino. Even if she really goes to make trouble, ordinary people will suffer in the end.

Zhou Yurong also knew it in her heart, so she didn't dare to go to those casino people, so she could only lose her temper at home, her face turned pale with aggrieved.

"Don't talk about it, it's because I'm sulking." Gu Lian also quickly tried to persuade her.

Zhou Yurong didn't want to hold herself back all the time, so she simply changed the direction to divert her attention, "By the way, how is your younger brother? After this incident, has his temperament changed? If he hasn't changed, you can just follow him." Your parents said, let him listen to my advice and lock him up at home, or let him do more work, and you must watch him do the heavy work. Every day, he is so tired that he is half dead. The drug addiction is almost gone.”

Needless to say, although Zhou Yurong's method is simple and crude, it will definitely work.

But the premise of these two methods is that Gu Lian's parents can be ruthless, and they have to keep an eye on them all the time, so as to prevent this kid from running away without paying attention.

When the time comes and they come back with a pile of debts, their family will no longer be able to make up 100 taels of silver.

Gu Lian knew that Zhou Yurong had good intentions, and when Shen Yingshu came over, she and Shen Qinglie had just returned.

She had just told Zhou Yurong about what the people in the casino did, but she hadn't told Zhou Yurong about her younger brother's change, so she didn't think much about hearing Zhou Yurong's words.

"Mother, don't worry. Yulin should have really changed this time. He told me to work hard and earn money. He will pay back all the money in the family, and he promised me that he will never do it again. Go to the casino and never hang out with those cronies again."

"Really? Is it possible to get rid of this gambling addiction so quickly? Ah Lian, don't be so naive. Children these days tell lies all the time. Don't let that kid make up these words to lie to you." Yes, you turned your head and left, and he immediately went to the casino to gamble."

Zhou Yurong didn't believe it.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Gu Lian, she Zhou Yurong has lived for so many years, and has seen more than half of the world, what does a person who loses money in a casino look like?She has seen all kinds of people who are addicted to reading.

One by one went bankrupt in the casino, their wives were separated, and even their fingers, arms, and hands were chopped off, and they still insisted on gambling.

It is conceivable how strong this addiction to gambling is. Gu Yulin, a young child, has not yet started to quit. Zhou Yurong really doesn't believe it when he says that he has quit.

Not to mention that Zhou Yurong didn't believe it, Shen Yingshu didn't believe it either. She vaguely remembered Gu Lian's younger brother from the original book. He was handsome and about the same age as Shen Qingzhou, but he was not as cute as Shen Qingzhou.

She had only met Shen Qingzhou once, and had never spoken to him, so she didn't have a deep impression of him, but she only remembered that the child seemed to be quite stubborn.

Later, he learned from Gu Lian that Gu Yulin was becoming more and more difficult to discipline, and his temper was also bad, and he would fall and quarrel and run away at every turn. From this, Shen Yingshu felt like a rebellious teenager in modern adolescence.

This adolescent rebellious boy is not easy to control, the more you talk about him, the more he will not change, but will get worse.

Just from what Gu Lian said that he can owe 100 taels of silver, this proves that his gambling addiction is not light, did he really quit it so easily?

"Mother, I believe in Yulin. You seldom get along with Yulin because you don't know that he has a normal temper. But I know that he was brought up by me. No matter when he was a child or when he grew up, he was a bit stubborn, but he promised me Never broke my word about it.”

Gu Lian also knew that Zhou Yurong had good intentions, so she explained softly.

It is precisely because she brought up the little Gu Yulin little by little that Gu Yulin has such a deep affection for his sister. As long as he promises to Gu Lian, it will be completed.

The only thing I haven't done since I was a child is to obediently listen to my parents...and listen to my wife.

But when Gu Lian thought of Gu Yulin's serious eyes looking at her, she chose to trust him again.

Zhou Yurong did not speak for a long time. Gu Lian was worried that she would not believe her, so she tugged at Shen Qinglie's clothes next to her, "Mother, if you don't believe me, you can ask Qinglie. Qinglie was standing next to me at the time, and he would also accept what Yulin said." I heard it all."

After Gu Lian pierced her sleeves, Shen Qinglie said honestly, "Mother, I was by the side at the time, and Gu Yulin did say so, but...what was he thinking? I don't know, but I am willing to believe in Alian."

"Since the two of you have said that, I won't say anything more. Anyway, let your parents pay more attention to him and watch him more..."

Seeing that Gu Lian said it so seriously, Shen Qinglie also obeyed, Zhou Yurong didn't say anything after reminding her, and she was not someone who insisted on provoking the feelings of other siblings.

"Thank you mother, I see."

Gu Lian nodded seriously, and then told Shen Yingshu and Zhou Yurong that she wanted Gu Yulin to go to school for another year.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yurong's eyes widened instantly, and she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

The family owes so much taels of silver, and the land and valuables at home are all there, and they still have to go to school? ?
It can be seen that Gu Lian was serious about what she said. The money for Gu Yulin to continue going to school was also paid by Gu Lian in exchange for her dowry. She, an old woman, should not stop her.

After a long time, Zhou Yurong still couldn't help asking, "Are you... serious?"

"Mother, I'm very serious. I know that the family owes a lot of money now, and it would be better for Yulin to make money, but Yulin is too young now, and his body is also thin. Even if he is asked to go out to work, no one is willing to accept him. .Being an apprentice can't earn a lot of money for a year, so it's better to let him continue to go to school to learn more words."

Gu Lian knew that Zhou Yurong was doing it for her own good, and it was for this reason that she told Zhou Yurong all her plans without any concealment.

No matter when, scholars are very popular. After several years of study, Gu Yulin has learned more characters than others, and it will be faster to settle accounts. If he goes to find a job, he will definitely be paid more monthly money than he is now.

Zhou Yurong nodded, but looked at Shen Yingshu with a dull gaze, "Yingshu, what do you think of your sister-in-law's idea?"
