Chapter 112 Raising a girl costs money
Yu Tingwan couldn’t go out, so he had to borrow a hoe from the Zhao family and push down the mountainous mound of soil to bury the pit.
She was very strong, but she was a girl, so it was difficult to do such a thing, and she soon became tired and was sweating on her forehead.
With no extra tools, Huiniang had no choice but to bring wooden boards from her home and place them on the pit. Then she walked to the opposite side and squatted down to bulldoze the earth with her hands.
I don’t know how long it has been.
The girl half-bent down, supported herself with the hoe, and took a breath. When he had rested enough and was about to get up, he felt dizzy for no reason.
Many fragmentary pictures flashed before my eyes.
Somewhat vague.
But... what is worth pondering is that she seems to be humming and burying herself in the pit in the picture.
Wei Shen, who was seriously ill in white clothes, leaned against the window and looked at her sadly.
Different from the unfamiliarity at the moment, the girl in maid clothes was very enthusiastic, as if she had done it many times.
Wei Shen asked: "Are you tired?"
The girl was angry: "What did you say, Master?"
Wei Shen: "Ha."
It's very infuriating.
The girl's lips opened and closed, and she couldn't stop complaining.
Yu Tingwan was in a daze and wanted to listen more carefully, but his head suddenly hurt badly.
“Wan Niang, is that your father!”
Hui Niang’s voice of surprise exploded from the opposite side.
When Yu Tingwan heard the words, he looked in the direction of the alley entrance.
Wei Shouzhong over there also saw them and came over quickly.
Hui Niang didn’t even bother to wipe her hands, she walked over and took Wei Shouzhong and looked him up and down.
“The boss is finally here.”
“Yesterday I told my wife that I didn’t know when you would be able to find me, because I was afraid something might happen on the way.”
Guardian Zhong is most concerned about one thing: "How is Alang?"
Huiniang said: "Let's rest in the house. I've been taking medicine these past few days and my spirits have improved a lot."
As she said that, she shouted at home.
"Yue Shan, look who's coming."
After Yue Shan ran out and saw the person clearly, even the shy person was overjoyed and shouted: "Dad!"< br>
Peng Orion smiled when he saw his son.
It was clear that they had only been separated for a few days, but he felt that Yue Shan's face had become fleshy and his smile was much brighter.
Wei Shouzhong was in a daze.
After being separated for a few days, we actually have a house in the county seat.
I still bought it in full.
When the medical center gave him the address, he was dumbfounded.
Wei Shouzhong had a lot to ask, but what he had to do now was to let his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rest while he buried the hole.
He is a farmer and has a lot of strength, so he can do this kind of thing very efficiently.
Wei Shouzhong buried himself in the pit and was afraid that the road would be uneven, so he used his hoe to dig down hard back and forth to make the ground smooth.
Hui Niang said to Peng Orion in a warm voice: "I must be exhausted from traveling these days. Let's go to the house to rest first."
Peng Orion took Yu Tingwan and sent him over. He drank the hot tea with a big gulp after thanking him.
"Auntie, I have to sell the game I caught in the mountains to a restaurant as soon as possible. I also have to find a way to sell the few animal skins in my hand. I won't sit at home."
When Hui Niang heard this He said hurriedly: "Yes, you have to do your business first." "Come on, come back for dinner. Auntie will make some good food. I have worked really hard on you these days."
In the room, Wei Zhao was half leaning on the bed, with his right leg bent, his hair disheveled, and his lips pale. , a broken feeling emerged as he coughed.
His eyes were dark.
In Ichimoku Shihang's hand, Rongdi sent the letter through Qingya and threw it into the charcoal basin.
The flames danced and quickly devoured the letter, leaving no trace.
Squire Dong was indeed extremely wealthy, with so much private property in his name that even he was astonished.
The Dong family’s money is not clean.
Wei Zhao cannot move the houses and fields that are displayed in the open, and they have to wait for the court to seal them.
But...
Wei Zhao fell into deep thought. After Wei Shouzhong buried the hole, he didn't even have time to wash his hands before he came to see Wei Zhao.
Although Hui Niang said that Alang was fine, only by seeing it with her own eyes can she feel at ease.
He looked at Wei Zhao, his eyes softening a lot.
I walked in and talked a lot.
Well, it’s still the same unilateral output as before.
Wei Zhao didn't reply a word, but the difference was that he was listening.
In the end, Hui Niang couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Wei Shouzhong's eyes were green and his body was dirty, she heated up a pot and sent him to the next door.
Yu Tingwan was in the yard flipping through the two large baskets that Wei Shouzhong had brought from the village.
The basket was stuffed to the brim, with everything in it.
After packing up, Yu Tingwan returned to the house.
She walked to the bed and sat down.
"The chicken fathers we raised in Wu's house were all slaughtered, their feathers were plucked, and they were all brought here. It can be seen that they are here to replenish your health."
Wei Zhao glanced at her.
Yu Tingwan thought to himself and said: "There is also bacon, said Granny Li gave it to me."
"Dad just stuffed three taels of money into my hand when he returned home. He said that he couldn't get wild ginseng because he didn't have the ability, but he was really afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it. He was afraid that he wouldn't have enough money when he was away, so he went from house to house to borrow it."
Three taels is a lot of money for country people. But if you take medicine to see a doctor, you may not be able to get enough.
Yu Tingwan sighed: "Our father is so kind."
Wei Zhao was immersed in his own thoughts and asked quietly: "Do you like gold?"
< br>Yu Tingwan said without hesitation: “I like it.”
Wei Zhao: "Oh."
He wants the gold and silver jewelry in the Dong family's secret room.
What treasury to charge?
It’s just his private treasury.
It costs money to recruit soldiers and horses, it costs money to build weapons... and it also costs money to raise girls.
————
Unlike the previous life, the Hu family and his son did not rush home after the lockdown was lifted, but are still staying in the town.
The streets are noisy, and even at dusk there are endless hawking sounds.
Hu Dazhu saw someone buying rattles at the stall, stopped and said to Hu Dalang beside him.
“Counting the time, your wife should be giving birth soon. I don’t know if this baby will add to our Hu family’s family or not.”
A baby refers to a baby boy.
Tian Kou is a baby girl.
Hu Dalang's face was flushed: "My mother said he was a grandson, so I guess he is inseparable. If I go back to study with Erlang, I won't have another scholar in our family."
Hu Dazhu nodded. : "We country folk, our ancestors have You can’t get ahead with three acres of land. You still have to study.”
“Look at the old scholars in the next village. They can go to the Yamen every month to get money and food. They have more glory when they go out. Let’s talk about the people above.”
Hu Dalang grinned.
He doesn't care about the old scholar. He has been taking exams all his life and he is still a scholar.
Erlang is different.
Master Chu valued it so much.
Even if you fail the provincial examination this year, you will definitely pass.
Hu Dalang said: "It is easier for a country boy to make a living with a bad name. I am thinking that when he is older, I will let Erlang have a good name."
Dalang is so common.
Yaozu knew he was going to do big things as soon as he heard it.
Hu Dalang hopes that his son can also be a scholar.
While thinking about it, I heard Hu Dazhu sigh.
"I don't know if Wan Niang is okay. It's not an exaggeration to say that your mother is cruel. I'm afraid Wan Niang will suffer."
This is true.
Hu Dalang nodded.
"My mother is indeed a shrew and unreasonable."
He also did not forget to add: "My mother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
