Chapter 892 Food Gift
It was only because Cao Huajun looked down on the fat and ugly girl from the Zheng family that he used Cao Zian as a backing up and forced Cao Zian to marry Miss Zheng.
Therefore, she has no sympathy at all for the Xu family to end up in this situation. She is even excited, happy and gloating about it.
In his previous life, Cao Zian, a little minion, had the courage to go to the Xia family to plot against the Xia family's legitimate daughter. What did he depend on, wasn't he the Xu family and the Xu family.
With the two sisters backing Cao Zian and emboldening him, what else could Cao Zian not dare to do?
Therefore, the fact that Dashu has ended up in such a situation today can be regarded as her retribution.
She had no sympathy for her at all.
Chu Lin Chu Cong picked baskets of fresh strawberries and came in. They were washed clean and bright red.
Xia Zihan ate a few and thought they tasted good, so he bought the basket of strawberries with two taels of silver.
Dashu didn't dare to accept her money, so she hurriedly pushed the money back.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "I hate oweing favors to others. Mrs. Cao, just accept it. Although the money is not much, it is more than enough to buy baskets of strawberries."
Dashu grabbed his heart and put the two taels of silver into his pocket.
Xia Zihan wants to take over the house, but refuses to sell it to the Daxu family. The Daxu family and Mrs. Li's family will be kicked out.
Daxu still had some money on hand. She had a total of 800 taels of silver. On the way to Caojia Village, a group of people spent more than 100 taels of silver on food, drink and accommodation. The rest was spent on marriages for Mrs. Li's children and three hundred taels of silver. Ten taels of silver, and another three hundred taels of silver were spent to buy 60 acres of land in Caojia Village for Mrs. Li's two sons to cultivate.
After paying the taxes and grain taxes on the sixty acres of land, what was left was enough to feed eight or nine people in their family. There was still a lot left over, which could be sold for salt and meat. It was enough to support the family all year round.
Daxu's remaining four hundred taels of silver basically didn't need to be spent.
However, she fell ill and spent more than one hundred taels of silver. She still saves the remaining two hundred taels of silver.
To buy a piece of land in the countryside and build an ordinary house, thirty or forty taels of silver is enough, but the Xu family can't afford to part with just these thirty or forty taels of silver.
Her idea was that the more than two hundred taels of silver were reserved for her life-saving money. Her body was getting worse day by day, and she might become seriously ill again one day.
If you get sick, you have to spend a lot of money on treatment.
She had a few coins on hand, and Granny Li could still hire a doctor for her. If she ran out of money, how could Granny Li hire a doctor for her?
What's more, she doesn't have a son by her side. If she spends the money to build a new house, it will be in vain for Mrs. Li's two sons to live in it.
In the future, if she gets sick and has no money for medical treatment, can Mrs. Li's son still sell the house to her for medical treatment?
She didn't believe it.
If that day comes, Mrs. Li's family will definitely watch her die of illness, and they will not be stupid enough to sell their house to a lonely old woman for medical treatment.
If you put yourself in her shoes, she wouldn't be so stupid.
Therefore, after Granny Li and her family came back and learned that the house was going to be taken back by Princess Chu Yu, they encouraged the Daxu family to buy a piece of land and build a new house. The Daxu family never agreed and held on to the money tightly. .
However, if she doesn't build a house, she still has to move out of the house.
After Xia Zihan came out of Cao's house, he did not enter the village again. He went directly back to Yifeng Town and contacted the two long followers sent by Tianzhuang Head.
A few months ago, she wrote to the head of the farm, asking him to send someone to deliver a batch of food, which she wanted to give to the people in Caojia Village. In a previous life, because of this drought, the people of Caojia Village got up early and went to the lake in the dark to carry water to irrigate the grain in the fields. However, the weather was too hot, and even if they desperately carried water to irrigate, they could not get all the grain. To save it, you can only choose to save part of it.
Although some food was saved, the family just couldn't get enough porridge every day. In winter, some people still starved to death.
Xia Zihan remembered that the people in Caojia Village had kindly helped her bury Mrs. Cao and Cao Zian in her previous life, so they did not laugh at her coldly, nor did they directly drive her out of Caojia Village.
Thinking of this love, she planned to send a batch of food to the people of Caojia Village, which could be regarded as paying off the debt she owed in her previous life.
During the floods a few years ago, Xia Zihan also made winter clothes and sent food to Caojia Village. However, that year, her good deeds were just following the crowd and not repaying her kindness.
Everyone in the capital made winter clothes and donated food. However, her winter clothes were extremely thick and warm, so she specifically told the people at the government office to send them to Caojia Village.
This time, she will deliberately take a detour to Yifeng Town. The main purpose is to pay off all the debts she owed her in her previous life.
These kindnesses have been hidden in her heart for too long, and she should have repaid them long ago.
……
After Xia Zihan had lunch, he personally took his people and transported dozens of carriages full of food to Caojia Village. When Xia Zihan went to Caojia Village, the entire Caojia Village was stunned.
Anyone who sees an unknown noble lady giving them so much food will be flattered and at a loss.
Some people even thought that Xia Zihan had found the wrong place and sent the wrong person. They repeatedly confirmed with Xia Zihan that this was Caojia Village, which made Xia Zihan dumbfounded.
However, Xia Zihan had a request, "I give you food, not because I want you to sell it for money. I give this food to you, so since you accept my food, you have to agree." You must sell it for silver.”
If she took it and sold it, wouldn't her move be in vain?
In winter, won’t the villagers still have no food to eat?
Therefore, Xia Zihan repeatedly emphasized this matter.
Some people give grain to them for free. Although they are not allowed to sell it for money, even if they keep it to eat, it is still a pie in the sky.
The whole village, old and young, were very excited and thanked Xia Zihan repeatedly. Some villagers, after carrying the food distributed to them home, brought some existing eggs, dried mushrooms, and fruits from home. Give it to Xia Zihan.
Although these things may not be appreciated by noble ladies, their families are poor, so they can only afford these things.
Moreover, even their own family would not be willing to eat these things on weekdays.
One family took it, and others took it too. After a while, there was a pile of things in front of Xia Zihan.
Some villagers directly caught big live chickens and brought them to us. Chu Lin pointed to a few big live chickens with their legs tied and said happily, "Master, we have chicken soup to drink tonight. Just in time, there are also baskets of dried mushrooms here." , stewed together, it will definitely be delicious.”
"Hmph, you know how to eat." Chu Cong rolled his eyes at her, "You have to know that it is not easy for rural people to raise a chicken. Maybe they rely on this chicken to lay eggs to save money for the family's daily meals. Use it.”
What Chu Cong said makes sense.
