My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm Chapter 132 Rejection

132 Chapter 132 Rejection

Gu Chengrui was silent for a moment before he asked, “They didn’t say what they came for?”

“With Sixth Aunt Gu helping out, I didn’t give them a chance to speak.”

“That’s good; ignore them. We won’t be lending any money to anyone. If we can’t reject them, just give them some tofu slices or dried yuba.

“I’m fine with it. I’m just afraid that they’ll pester you non-stop.”

Gu Chengrui laughed and suggested, “If we really can’t say no, how about we buy some land from them?”

“Buy land?”

“That’s right. Don’t forget that they have 100 acres of land. If they want money, they can exchange their land for it.”

“That’s true, but don’t reveal that we have that much money.”

“Don’t worry, we can buy a maximum of six acres of land with 50 taels of silver. That will be enough for us to plant some vegetables to supply our restaurant.”

“Alright, it’s up to you then. Wash your hands; the food is ready.” Zhou Ying said as she turned around and went to the kitchen.

On the other hand, after Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengye returned home, Father Gu immediately stopped them. “Chengzhi, Chengye, what did your uncle say? Can you borrow some silver from the oil mill?”

“No, Uncle said the oil mill business isn’t doing well this year. Besides the clan’s expenses, the clan also needs a new boat, and they definitely won’t lend it to us again.” Gu Chengye shook his head.

“The problem is that most clan members are unhappy with us because of that boat. They don’t support the patriarch to lend us any silver as well.” Gu Chengzhi added.

“They’re all a bunch of ingrates. Back when our family was in its prime, they basked in our glory too. Now, they are showing us this att.i.tude when we need their help. Such a disappointment.” Mrs. Liu said indignantly.

“You shut up.” Father Gu replied in a bad mood.

Although they had helped the clan in those years, it was only on the surface level, and they barely helped anyone on an individual level, at most, just slightly more than other villagers.

However, they took their land back after they came back. In addition to Gu Chengrui’s incident and the shipwreck, there would definitely be many who had negative opinions about them.

Their oil mill could only use ox carts or rent someone else’s boat to transport oil after the shipwreck. How could they have any positive image of their family?

“Then what do we do now? Should we change our jobs? Our family really doesn’t have enough income.” Mrs. Liu wanted to say something but hesitated.

The main issue was that there was little money left in the family. She didn’t want to fork out any more of her personal savings, or else what would she provide for her children?

Father Gu turned to look at her and asked, “Change my profession? Do you have any ideas?”

“Take your time to think about it. There will be something. Can’t you see that Chengrui and his wife are selling tofu quite well? ”

“I recall that mother’s snacks were delicious, as was second aunt’s porridge. Why don’t we open a small shop?” Gu Chengye suddenly suggested.

“Eateries? It’s fine if we make it for ourselves, but we’ll be dead exhausted if we sell it.” Mrs. Liu unhappily glared at him.

Father Gu disagreed with his idea too. He didn’t want others to think that he was a man who lived off his woman. Also, the issue was that selling eateries would never make a fortune.

He had to find another way to buy a boat.

However, on second thought, selling eateries would temporarily relieve their financial issues. He nodded and said, “I think you and sister-in-law can give it a try. Didn’t you manage a shop when you were in the capital? You can earn some pocket money this way.”

“But darling, managing an eatery shop is dirty and tiring. How can we do that kind of work?” Mrs. Liu said in horror.

“What do you mean that kind of work? Didn’t you envy Chengrui and his wife selling tofu? Do you think it’s easy to grind beans and cook tofu every day?” Father Gu snorted coldly at this point and reminded her, “You used to think that cooking was difficult, but now you are used to it. Wouldn’t it just be a thing to get used to? ”
