Chapter 143 The problem of old age

   Li blinked, "Why do you say that?"

   "Didn't you agree with me to go to Fucheng before?"

  Gu Yunjiao suddenly answered next to her, "She did that to push you to sell your land."

   Gu Mei snorted, but did not refute.

   then asked Mrs Li, "How did you come back?"

   Mr. Li blinked again, "When the money ran out, I hired a carriage to come back. When I arrived at my parents' house, the money was given by your uncle."

   She burst into tears again, "Woo woo woo, the gold earrings your father gave me are gone."

   "There is no money to eat on the road, so I can only sell it."

  Gu Yunjiao shook her head, it was really a miracle that Mrs. Li was able to come back with all her beards and tails.

   When he got home, Li Xi parked the carriage in the yard and helped Mr. Li down.

  Gu Yunjiao and Gu Chuan got out of the car, only to see that there were still people at home.

   Second uncle Li Zhu sat by the door with a face full of impatience. When he saw them coming, he got up and entered the room.

  Gu Yunjiao entered the room and found that the furniture in the room was covered with dust.

   She found a rag, wiped the chairs in the main room, and then sat down with Gu Chuan.

  Li Xi sat down and waved, "Everyone is busy, so I'll make a long story short. I came back to you today to discuss your mother's retirement."

   "What?" Gu Yunjiao suspected that something was wrong with her ears. If she remembered correctly, her mother, Mrs. Li, was only thirty-four years old this year!

  Li Xi glared at Gu Yunjiao, "What are you doing?"

   "I mean, you two sisters, each give your mother two taels of silver a year."

   "I've already inquired about it. Mei'er is married well, her husband's family is from a wealthy family, and Yun Jiao can earn money by herself now. This amount of money is nothing to you."

  Gu Yunjiao listened expressionlessly.

   Gu Mei snorted, "Uncle, what are your rules? I've never heard of letting a daughter old age, my mother doesn't have no sons!"

   "Besides, she's only in her thirties, so she needs pension money?"

   "You tell me, what kind of old man is this?"

   Mrs. Li sat behind Li Xi, covering her face with a handkerchief, shaking her shoulders as if she was crying.

  Li Xi raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with her thirties? Your father is gone, and if you don't give pension money, how will she survive?"

  Gu Yunjiao couldn't bear it any longer, "Uncle, shouldn't we be discussing how to raise Gu Chuan? He's only seven years old. Could it be that he can still earn money to support himself?"

   "My mother is in her thirties. She has hands and feet and will never starve to death."

  Li Xi choked, "Isn't Gu Chuan raised by you, why say such nonsense."

   Gu Yun smiled coquettishly, "It's really nonsense, I shouldn't have come here."

   "I am a married daughter, who stipulated that I have to raise a younger brother?"

   "I raise Xiaochuan, although I am willing, but you can't take it as it should be!"

  Gu Yunjiao pointed at Mrs. Li, who was sitting far away, "Shouldn't it be parents' responsibility to raise children?"

   "Why put the blame on others?"

   These two uncles are also wonderful, obviously Li is only in his thirties, why can't he support himself? Why should people be kept?

  Gu Chuan sat next to Gu Yunjiao and was about to cry.

   He listened to his sister's words and meant that he didn't want to support him anymore.

  Gu Yunjiao realized that she was a little emotional, patted Gu Chuan, took a few deep breaths, and then said, "I will raise Xiaochuan."

   "But I don't care about my mother's retirement."

   "If you think I'm doing something wrong, just go to the government and sue me. If the county magistrate sentenced me to give me pension money, I have nothing to say."

   After Gu Yunjiao finished speaking, she stopped talking.
