Yan Bingfa coughed and said, "There's something the villagers may not know. The old man and I split up last year. We just need to pay the money."
Yan Musheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "It seems that God is helping your family. You can even expect something like this."
Chunxiao took out some silver and handed it to Qiao Musheng. "Uncle Musheng, this is 12 taels. Two taels are for Brother Wangzu and Brother Wangfu's wages. Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Wait until you have enough money."
Yan Musheng took the silver, sighed and left.
Chunxiao was helpless, "Dad, please accompany me to Dongsheng's house. If he is not here, I still need to ask about the things in the village."
Yan Bingfa accompanied Chunxiao to Dongsheng's house. This was Chunxiao's first time there. The yard was shabby and the room was very simple. Shizhu saw them coming and hurriedly found a stool in the main hall for them to sit on. "Are you looking for Dongsheng? He's in his mother's room. I'll go call him."
"Don't call me uncle, I heard that my aunt is sick, let's go see her."
Xu Shizhu sighed. What Chunxiao heard most now was people sighing.
As soon as they reached the door of the room, they heard a woman crying inside.
"Damn it, Brother Bingfa and Chunxiao are here." Xu Shizhu called out at the door before opening it and going in.
Although the furnishings in the room were simple, it was still tidy and clean. Dongsheng was lying on the edge of her mother's bed. When he saw them come in, he quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Bingfa, Sister Chunxiao." His expression showed no joy or anger.
Her mother's eyes were red and swollen. She tilted her head when she saw them and said, "I really can't face people like this. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
"Aunt, Chunxiao came forward, but was worried about money." If it was just money, it would be easy to deal with.
"We have 20 taels of silver, but when I think of Dongsheng going to the battlefield to fight, my heart aches." As he spoke, tears began to flow again.
"Mom, I told you to stop crying. If you keep crying, you won't be able to open your eyes. Going to the battlefield doesn't necessarily mean death. Many people come back alive. You should think more about your son. I heard that there will be a lot of compensation after the war."
"What do I need that compensation for? I want you to live well. You don't even have any descendants. I told your father to find you a husband as soon as possible. He was so picky yesterday, but now it's too late to find one." Dongsheng's mother started coughing as she spoke. Xu Shizhu quickly stepped forward and patted her on the back. "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Don't get excited."
