Chapter 78 Enlightenment

"When he comes home, I'll let him teach the rest. It will save money. As long as they can read, they won't have to work odd jobs in town, let alone farm work. It's exhausting and they won't be able to save any money all year round. Then they can be bookkeepers or something. Isn't that easy?

If there is a smart and studious child, we can pay for him to take the examination for the title of Tongsheng Xiucai. I am afraid that our family cannot afford it. What do you think, head of the family?"

Zhang Jinlan turned her head and looked at Jiang Shoujia.

"Okay, let Tongmu go. After all, Tongjin has already married, so it's not convenient for him to go to school. Apart from him, Tongmu is the oldest. Let him study hard and teach other children what he has learned in school. It can be regarded as a sum of money with many uses."

Jiang Shoujia not only agreed, but also selected the candidate.

At this time.

Jiang Tongmu, who was chopping wood in the mountains, had no idea that he was about to go to school.

"Eighty-five taels, including the money from selling eggs and the money I've earned these days, it's exactly ninety taels. I don't know if the price of land has changed in the past two years. First-class good land is four taels of silver. I bought five mu, which is twenty taels.

Save sixty taels, and use the remaining ten taels for the child's education. Oh, and make some clothes for Fubao, with better materials. Without Fubao, how can our family live a good life? "

Zhang Jinlan planned how to use the money.

Continue speaking.

"Let's do it tomorrow. I'll take Tongmu to visit the school and buy some cloth for Fubao to make clothes. We've eaten a lot of meat these past two days. If we keep eating, the smell of our cooking will spread to the whole village, and people will think we have too much money to spend.

So, tomorrow we can buy some meat buns and eat them directly without cooking. We can all enjoy a big meat bun for everyone! If we meet someone selling cakes, I will also buy some. Whoever does the most work and the fastest will get a reward."

Zhang Jinlan saw her second daughter-in-law staring at the money.

She decided to take out some money to give her family a treat.

"Mom, you are so nice! I have never eaten meat buns in my life!"

Sun Pingmei was so moved that she almost cried.

Before she got married, she never imagined that her life would be so good now.

Not only could they have a full meal every day, but other families in the village only ate brown rice, but her family only ate soft porridge mixed with rice and egg, sometimes with meat and eggs.

Not only did she gain weight.

My chest swelled up.

If she had known this would happen, she should have begged her parents to marry her to the Jiang family as a child bride the year she started chewing tree bark.

This way you can save yourself a few years of suffering.

"Look at how gluttonous you are. All right, go to the kitchen and cook. We won't be home for lunch tomorrow. The farm work will be handed over to Eryong and Siyin. Your father and I will take Yamato and Tongmu to the town."

Zhang Jinlan pounded her sore legs.

He waved goodbye and chased away the people in the house.

After lunch.

Everyone went back to the house and took a nap for more than half an hour.

Jiang Fubao is no exception.

When I woke up, I found that the house was empty.

The door was open and there was some noise outside.

She ran out on her short legs.

I saw a group of people gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Almost all the villagers came, men and women, young and old, all looking towards the mountain, pointing and talking, no one knew what they were looking at.

Jiang Fubao walked over and found his family among the crowd.

She pulled apart their legs one by one.

Finally I hugged grandma's old legs.

"Fubao, are you awake? Come, let grandma hold you."

After being picked up by grandma.

She hugged grandma's neck and asked loudly: "Grandma, what are you doing here?"

"Someone went to the inner part of the mountain to pick wild vegetables early in the morning, but he hasn't come down yet. His family was so anxious that they went to the mountain to look for him, but they couldn't find him. They panicked and came back to ask the villagers to help them find their son."

Zhang Jinlan didn't explain it very clearly.

She was afraid that her granddaughter would be frightened.

Jiang Fubao curled his lips and decided to listen himself.

Her ears stand up high.

Listen around.

"Oh, what a sin! I heard that Duofu's clothes were torn into pieces and scattered all over the floor. His shovel was also left on the floor, but he was nowhere to be found. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back. Could he have met a pack of wolves?"

"I don't think so. If it was really a pack of wolves, why isn't there blood on the ground? Even if they bit them twice, there should be blood gushing out."

"He must have lost his way and accidentally fell down a hill."

"You're talking nonsense. Then explain why his clothes are torn like that? Could it be that some widow in the village tore them? Tsk—"

"Hahaha, you are still joking at this time. But once you touch Widow Liu's waist, you will never forget it."

"Hey! Your wife is here!"

“….”

Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes.

As we were talking, we started talking about obscene things.

I am speechless.

"How blessed—"

"My son, you died tragically—"

"Wuwuwu, my husband, how are we three going to live?"

"Son, my son——"

At this moment.

A team of more than a dozen people came down from the mountain.

The old woman at the front of the group was holding a spherical object wrapped in rags.

She and several people around her had red and swollen eyes.

I almost fainted from crying.

"Oh, is something really happening? Is Duofu dead?" Zhang Jinlan said with a pale face.

"Make way, everyone. Get out of the way. Don't crowd at the foot of the mountain."

The leader was Jiang Linfeng, the eldest son of clan leader Jiang Guangyi.

He waved his hand to drive away the crowd.

Only when there was some space in between did he help the old woman out of the road at the foot of the mountain.

"Lin Feng, what's going on? What happened to Duofu?" another gossipy woman asked.

"Oh, my son, you died tragically—"

Her words struck the old woman like lightning.

The old woman was seen sitting paralyzed on the ground holding the ball-shaped object.

Crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Auntie, please accept my condolences and go home quickly to bury Duofu." Jiang Linfeng's eyes were also wet, but his comfort was of no use at all.

"My son, how can I bury him? His body is incomplete. I only have this head, only this head. My son, how could you die so tragically? How can I live with you——"

Wang finished his words.

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Duofu is dead?

And the body is not intact?

What is going on?

Everyone was confused, but no one who knew the situation was willing to speak up and explain.

Wang and her daughter-in-law fainted from crying.

The villagers who spontaneously joined the search team helped carry them back home.

"Why don't you just leave without finishing your talk? What's going on? I'm really worried. How about we follow him and ask him?"

"Hey, I'm sad, don't bring bad luck to me. The one Wang was holding just now is a blessing..."

Halfway through.

The woman shuddered.

I dare not say any more.

Jiang Fubao was also very curious.

She simply turned off the shield.

a moment.

The sounds of plants and animals reached her ears.

Leave behind useless voices.

A bird squatting on a tree not far away witnessed the whole process.
