Chapter 15 God Bless You

Then the two of them waited anxiously.

After a while, the three came back, one of them holding another one, which was fat and big. Brother Tang felt very sorry: "One ran away and I can't get another one. What a pity."

"That's all right," Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "We can sell it for some silver. We don't have much of this kind of stuff here. I heard it can be sold for one tael of silver per pound!"

"Hey!" Brother Tang San said, "Then these old ones must be worth several dozen taels?"

"Almost. Very fat! One weighs five or six pounds!" Brother Tang asked, "Shall we keep one to eat?"

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll keep one for myself and sell the others!"

Brother Tang ran to borrow a basket from someone, and when they heard that a bamboo rat had been hunted, several people came over to see the wonder.

People in the mountains live off the mountains, and hunting wild game is really a skill for them, and they hunt right at their doorstep! These people were so envious: "How come you are so lucky?!"

Brother Tang San boasted to his sister in a loud voice: "My sister saw it! I took Xinbao out to play with him, and Xinbao saw it right away!"

"Oh my!" The villagers couldn't say that Xinbao was a fool before, so they just said, "Since this child got better, all the blessings have come to him. I heard that the Tai Sui was also watched by Xinbao?"

"Yes!" Brother Tang San had often heard villagers talking behind his back, saying that his sister was a fool and a jinx...

But at that time, his father didn't allow him to curse back, and he had been feeling aggrieved for years. Now that they were no longer related, he could at least speak. He said as if he was quarreling, "It must be Xinbao who saw me! I was holding Xinbao and playing, and Xinbao pointed at the bottom of the tree and told me to dig, and as soon as I dug, I dug out a Tai Sui!"

Mrs. Lin was cooperating with her son on the side: "It's really the blessing of the gods. Since she broke off contact with that side... Well, although this is not a good thing, I don't know why, Xinbao recovered overnight. Maybe God felt that Xinbao was depressed for the past three years, so he made her encounter so many coincidences..."

The villagers' eyes widened as they listened.

Someone couldn't help but say: "Yes! It's really like that!"

"The more I thought about it that day, the more I felt something was wrong. Granny Liu kept talking about Xinbao, but in fact, when Brother Tang got into trouble, Xinbao didn't even exist! You can't blame Xinbao for that!"

"Oh my, this unlucky star is obviously Tang Sanshui! He is a curse to Xinbao! Otherwise, once he leaves them, Xinbao will get better immediately?"

"It's kind of creepy when I think about it. I'll have to avoid their area next time! Don't let him get in my way!"

Mrs. Lin didn't dare to say anything about this topic, so she just listened and felt secretly relieved.

Tang Sanshui, that scourge, eats their food and uses their things every day. I don't know if Liu Pozi is blind or guilty, but she throws dirty water on the baby every day... But now, if you think about it from another angle, isn't all the dirty water thrown back on Tang Sanshui's head?

This is called shooting oneself in the foot!

While the wives were talking, Brother Tang had already packed up the bamboo rats, and then the two brothers excitedly went to the county town.

Mrs. Lin spoke a few more words to the group of women before they gradually dispersed. But when she turned around, her little girl was gone.

Mrs. Lin was startled and when she turned around, she saw a little guy not far away walking up the mountain with his short legs. Who else could it be but Xinbao?

Mrs. Lin ran over and grabbed her: "Where are you going?"

The little girl let out a cry, as if she didn't expect to be caught. She grinned at her with her bean sprout braids, revealing her tiny teeth.

Mrs. Lin was touched by her daughter's cute face and said with a smile: "You can't go out to play now. Brother Five and Brother Six haven't come back yet. Mother has to cook. You just stay at home and play obediently."

The little hand of the milk ball pointed at himself and said: "Xinbao, send it to me."

"You are still a fool," Mrs. Lin imitated her, "Don't you see how old you are? Be careful that the old monkey will drag you away!"

She took the little boy back without any hesitation.

Naituanzi was still thinking about collecting herbs for his second brother. He didn't know why, but he felt particularly anxious.

She hugged Mrs. Lin's legs and begged, "Send Xinbao a few more."

Mrs. Lin was afraid of upsetting her fourth son, so she didn't explain and glared at her, "No!"

The little girl pouted her lips in grievance.

The fourth brother immediately felt distressed, limped over and hugged his sister: "Mother, you cook, I'll just look after my sister."

Mrs. Lin pointed at him helplessly, then turned and went to the kitchen.

The fourth brother carried his sister out of the house, sat on the stone at the door, and whispered in her ear: "Fourth brother is here to watch Xinbao, please don't go too far, Xinbao, I won't be able to catch up with you, I will be worried."

The little kid opened his big, bright black eyes and looked at his fourth brother's legs.

Only then did she understand why her mother didn't allow her to go out.

The little face of the milk ball wrinkled up. As the head of the family, she felt that she had a long way to go.

But within the fourth brother's sight, there were only roads, people coming and going every day, and there was really no grass. The little dumpling swayed around for a while, and finally gave up, returned to the fourth brother, moved his little butt, and sat on his feet...

She held her little cheeks with both hands, feeling a little melancholy...why not just wait until the third brother comes back!

In the afternoon, Tang Qingshan and his sons returned by car.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The masonry team and bricks and tiles have been ordered, as well as some rice, flour, food and utensils, which will be delivered tomorrow.

The bamboo rats were also sold. By chance, they were spotted by a wealthy man who loved to eat game. He offered two taels of silver per pound. These few old and fat bamboo rats were sold for more than one hundred taels of silver, which was considered another fortune.

But Tang Qingshan and his son both looked unhappy. Tang Qingshan got into the car first and carried the second brother Tang down.

Seeing that Brother Tang's face was flushed and his forehead was covered with sweat, Madam Lin was startled: "What happened to Rong'er?"

Tang Qingshan said: "He has heatstroke, tell him to drink some water!"

Madam Lin hurriedly hugged him. Brother Tang was trembling slightly, and even his long eyelashes were wet with sweat, but he managed to force a smile: "I'm fine, mother, don't... don't worry."

The sound is very soft.

When Xinbao saw it, he was shocked and his eyes widened.

She thought hard for a long while, then quickly turned back to the kitchen and put a spoonful of salt into the jar that usually held boiled water. She then took up the jar and shook it a few times. While she was shaking it, Madam Lin came out quickly and said to her, "Xinbao, stop messing around. Go into the house and ask Fourth Brother to hold you."

As he spoke, he took the jar and hurriedly poured a bowl of water into the house.

For mild heatstroke, you can recover by ventilating and cooling down quickly and drinking more cold salt water. However, her second brother looked very serious, and she was really afraid that he would develop heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Xinbao was so anxious that he quickly ran out with his short legs, thinking that he should find some medicine for his second brother.

Outside, Tang Qingshan and his sons were unloading goods back and forth. Seeing Xiaotuanzi, Tang Qingshan stopped, took out a small bag of broad beans from his sleeve pocket and gave it to his daughter.

Xinbao looked up and raised his two little hands to take it: "Thank you for taking it!"

Tang Qingshan nodded and continued to carry the things forward. But Naituanzi took the opportunity to walk to the door with his short legs, looking back at him as he walked, just wanting to find a chance to sneak out.

Widow Chen led her son outside and greeted him, "Brother Qingshan, you're back?"

Tang Qingshan just nodded and kept moving things back and forth. Widow Chen rolled her eyes and took a few steps forward.

I heard that Mrs. Liu came to see Mrs. Lin today. After she went back, her face was blue and her lips were white. She also told others that Mrs. Lin beat her.

But no one believes it.

Widow Chen didn't believe it either, but that didn't stop her from coming over to put some eye drops on.

After all, Tang Qingshan has made a fortune now and is about to build a new house. He would be a wealthy family in the village. If he doesn't hurry up, by the time the new house is built, it would be her turn.

She was anxious and didn't care about pretending to be reserved, and called out coquettishly, "Brother Qingshan, I have something to tell you."
