109 I'm eager to go home
"Sister-in-law, that's my house. Right now I'm just out working. If I come home for a year or two, where will my family live?"
After saying that, he picked up the backpack and walked out. Now he was really angry. This sister-in-law was getting too much.
Wan Changshou hurriedly picked up the silver ingot and chased after him. Xu tried to stop him, but Changshou blocked her with one hand.
Wan Qing held his mother and said, "Mom, please give us some face. My uncle has only been working for half a year. How much can he earn? Look, he is still wearing the same clothes he wore when he left. He bought so many things today. If you continue like this, my uncle might cut off contact with my family."
Xu's heart skipped a beat. Her parents-in-law were no longer around, so her uncle was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
But she was not wrong. If he didn't come back in the future, the house would be empty anyway. It would be better to give it to Wan Qing. It would be a new house. At most, they would only live in it for two years. In a few years, it would be just right for Wan Qing to have it as his new house and their whole family could move in.
The old house will be given to the second and third sons in the future, half each, and there is no need to build another house.
What a pity for those two taels of silver.
Fortunately, the cloths and snacks are still there.
Wan Changshou insisted on giving the silver ingot to his brother, but Changsheng thought about it and gave up. He felt really uncomfortable with his sister-in-law's behavior. Thinking of his wife, he wanted to go home even more.
"Brother, I have something to ask you. You knew that I picked herbs before. Do you want to learn?"
"Immortality?"
"Brother, if you want to learn, you have to promise me that you will not listen to my sister-in-law, and you must not take money too seriously. You must not take the child into the mountains. There are all kinds of dangers in the mountains. Nothing is more important than life."
"Changsheng, if I can, I want to learn. Four children is too much of a burden. I won't listen to your sister-in-law anymore. If she does it again, I will send her back to her parents' home."
"That's not necessary. She is just... Never mind. I won't talk about her anymore. I taught her to my brother-in-law He Zilin. If you want to learn, just bring Wan Qing to find him someday. You can look for him in the shallow mountains of Wan Village.
The He family has a donkey. If you go to Baicaotang to sell medicine, you can take their donkey cart. Tell Doctor Sun that you are Wan Changsheng's younger brother and they will accept you. You can make about two taels a month. Other families cannot teach you. You can't make money if there are too many people. Do you understand?"
"I know. I will take Wan Qing there secretly."
"Brother, please don't go into the mountains. Your life is more important. Also, if I really live outside in the future, I'll give you the new house. It's only over twenty taels, and you'll only live there for two years. But you don't have to tell my sister-in-law now. Just keep it in your mind. I'm leaving now."
Wan Changshou looked at his brother's receding back. In fact, he didn't want the house. If his brother really gave it to him, it would mean that they would have fewer chances to meet in the future.
The closest person to him in the world is his brother. What’s the point if he can’t see him for many years?
Suddenly, he became annoyed with Xu. If the eldest sister-in-law was virtuous, the two brothers' families would have lived in harmony. Why did it have to be like this?
It’s not even five o’clock.
The He family all got up. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared breakfast in the kitchen long ago so that the three people who were traveling far away could eat their fill.
Wan Changsheng watched as the He family members were instructing Daqiang and Erqiang that they would not be able to come back in a short time after going out this time, and it would also be the first time for Erqiang to spend the New Year away from home.
"Changsheng, please take Erqiang back to Ping'an, and please take Daqiangzi to Baicaotang."
"Brother, don't say that. We are all family, and they are cousins. Erqiang can't come back this year. You can bring him home when you have the chance."
Erqiang puffed out his chest proudly. This time when he came back, he handed over all six taels of silver. His grandfather gave half of it to his mother. This year he alone handed over twenty-three taels of silver. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a great contributor to the He family, right?
"Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, my brother and I are leaving now. Don't think about us. We are going out to learn skills. Ping An said that he would take me to the capital in the future. What is that place? When I earn money, I will buy you a house in the county. Let's go."
He Daqing laughed so hard that tears came out. What Erqiang said was not impossible. Ping'an was a promising child. He might be able to lead the two brothers to a way out.
In the morning light, the mule cart slowly moved out of the yard.
…
In the inn, Sun Qing asked his brother again: "Have you really made up your mind? Are you really going with Wan Changsheng? In fact, it's not bad to stay. Find a good orphan to adopt. A doctor in Baicaotang can earn a lot of money every month. Living at home in the county town is still very comfortable."
"I've made up my mind and will go with Changsheng. Brother Qing, the fate of people is indescribable. Back in the border town, I treated him as my own son or nephew. At that time, I wanted to go with him, but the general wouldn't let me go. This time, I almost died. It was dark and I was groggy. He brought people to save me. When I heard his voice at that moment, I felt like I was dreaming."
Sun Hongyu chuckled. It was indeed fate. His life was saved under such circumstances. From then on, he was willing to treat them as his own children.
"Grandpa Sun, Uncle Wan and the others are here."
Wan Changsheng asked Erqiang to guard the mule cart outside. As soon as he and Daqiangzi entered the lobby of the inn, they saw Tong Lin coming down carrying a package. Uncle Sun was in good spirits and walked with a breeze. It seemed that his injury was almost healed.
"Uncle, Doctor Sun is here too?"
"Changsheng, my cousin will need you to take care of him from now on."
"This is as it should be. This is Da Qiangzi. I'll have to trouble Doctor Sun to take care of him in the future. Uncle, this is Da Qiangzi, Er Qiang's biological elder brother. The eldest son promised to bring him out to learn some skills from Doctor Sun."
Da Qiangzi saluted the two doctors obediently.
"I know Daqiang. He came here with his father to sell medicine. Daqiang, do you want to study medicine or accounting? It's not easy to learn a skill." Doctor Sun laughed.
"Doctor Sun, I want to study medicine and I like studying medicine."
Sun Hongyu took two red envelopes, one for each of his brothers.
Wan Changsheng couldn't refuse, so he let the two brothers take it.
Doctor Sun also gave one to each of them, and he also gave one to Tong Lin. It was lucky for them this time.
"Changsheng, let's go as soon as possible. Tong Lin and I have already eaten and paid for the meal. We can just leave now."
So Wan Changsheng took the package from Sun Hongyu and said goodbye to Doctor Sun.
Tong Lin had already harnessed another mule cart. Yesterday, Grandpa Sun asked him to go to the city to prepare a lot of food for the journey. When they arrived in the city, they should enter the Medicine Valley.
Previously, they were Valley Master Fang Ming's men. The two Valley Masters were brothers, and they had heard of Valley Master Fang Xiao's name a long time ago. If they could learn a few unique skills this time, they would be extremely happy.
Erqiang wanted to drive himself, but Wan Changsheng refused and sat in the parking space by himself: "Doctor Sun, we are leaving now. Please take care of yourself."
The mule cart quickly got onto the official road, and Erqiang was grinning foolishly in the carriage.
Wow, I received two red envelopes just after I went out, one tael each, so that’s two taels now.
He secretly gave it to his eldest brother, who would soon be able to ask his father to bring it home as the family was still short of money.
Oh my God, he felt like his heart was about to jump out. The two brothers earned four taels of silver in just one hour after going out.
Can we say that red envelopes are earned?
