My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Chapter 62: The Changes In the Family

Gu Xin knew how to count. She could count up to 10,000, which was what her grandfather had taught her.

However, she only knew how to count. She didn’t know how much one tael of silver was. The transmigrator trio thought that she knew, so they didn’t tell her specifically.

“Xin Xin, one tael of silver is one thousand taels. Do you know how much your father owes?” Grandma Gu asked.

“Three hundred taels,” Gu Xin answered without thinking. After answering, she calculated in her heart, and then her smiling face fell.

Her family only sold a little more than four taels a day.

Five days had passed since her father mentioned ten days. There were still five days left.

To earn three hundred taels in five days, one had to earn sixty taels a day. Ten cakes cost four taels of silver, and one hundred and fifty cakes cost sixty taels of silver.

Cracking egg whites was very laborious. One could not make one hundred and fifty cakes a day.

Oh no, they were not going to pay up!

While Gu Xin was calculating in her mind, she was also muttering softly.

Grandpa and Grandma Gu were both very surprised. This girl was really good at counting!

“Didn’t your mother and your sister say that they were going to do other things? Don’t panic. Wait a little longer. Maybe the other things will be more profitable! Besides, there are also Grandpa and Grandma. Don’t be afraid.” Grandpa Gu didn’t like to see Gu Xin unhappy, so he comforted her.

“Grandpa and Grandma, I’ll go back and discuss it with my parents and Sister first. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll go back first!” After saying goodbye to her grandparents, Gu Xin jogged home.

She wanted to settle the score with her parents and Sister.

“Xin Xin, run slowly!” Grandpa Gu urged.

“This child feels especially flexible in numbers! She’s usually silly,” Grandma Gu said.

“Second Brother’s family has changed quite a lot recently. When we taught Xin Xin to count, she often made mistakes! I didn’t expect it to be completely correct this time.” Grandpa Gu was also a little surprised.

“Maybe this gambling debt can really change Second Brother’s family! Look at the eldest girl. She only did embroidery in the past, and now she even knew how to cook. She isn’t as cold-hearted and cold-faced as she used to be. Second Son’s wife was the same. She isn’t as timid as she used to be, and she doesn’t always have the face of someone who owed her two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Old Man, this time, Second Son said that he wanted to study. Why do I feel like he’ll be able to read something out of it?” Grandma Gu evaluated the changes in Second Son’s family.

“Have you forgotten? We have three sons and a daughter. Only Second Son and daughter are smart. When Second was young, didn’t the teacher in the town school say that Second was at least an elementary scholar? If he worked hard, it was possible that he could become a high scholar. If it wasn’t for that matter, Second… Sigh…” At the end of the sentence, Grandpa Gu sighed regretfully.

Grandma Gu frowned. “Forget it. I’ve already beaten him up previously. Didn’t his family move away too? It’s just a pity that Second Son wasted all these years. However, you can’t blame him. He’s a man. He can’t even take such a blow. It’s his own cowardice!”

Grandma Gu thought of what had happened back then and felt a little resentful for him failing to live up to expectations.

“Forget it. Our children and grandchildren will have their own fortune. If Second Brother can’t pay off his gambling debts, we’ll help him out. In the future, we won’t care about his studies. If he can pay off his debts, we’ll help him with his studies in the future if we can. Second Brother isn’t the only son in the family, so we can’t just be biased towards him. Otherwise, after a long time, if Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother aren’t happy, it’ll make their relationship worse.” Grandpa Gu let out a long sigh..
