Chapter 685 Chain Reaction
Emptying the family savings to support his parents is a stark contrast to Dahai who wanted to dump his parents when things got into trouble. This made Song Dahai blush. He had just convinced the two elders of the Song family to send them to the second elder's home to recuperate, under the pretext that he was afraid that debt collectors would come again.
But now Song Dachuan's actions slapped him in the face, making him dare not reveal anything in front of the village chief and clan elders.
Song Dachuan's behavior made the sick old man Song look a little better. After seeing the silver, Mrs. Song's expression also eased a lot, and she said she wanted to keep Song Dachuan for dinner.
Song Dachuan didn't want to stay here. He just saw that his elder brother Song Dahai had secretly glared at him several times. He was not stupid and he had seen the packages that old Mrs. Song had packed. He could guess what the family wanted to do.
At this moment, someone ran into Old Song's yard and shouted through the door:
"Dachuan, go home quickly and take a look. I heard from people going to the market in town that the man who came to Songjia Village to collect debts the day before yesterday is heading to Zhangjia Village with the officials. Could he be going to your house?"
"this"
Song Dachuan stood up suddenly, frowning tightly, then took out a note he had written long ago from his arms, asked Old Man Song to put his fingerprints on it, and asked the village chief and the clan elders to sign beside him to prove that the five taels of silver were the retirement money that he, Song Dachuan, gave to his parents.
This time, the village chief and the elders all signed. After all, when the family was divided, it was clearly stated that Song Dachuan would leave the house with nothing, and he did not even take the land that he was supposed to get. Even if it was converted into pension money, no one would say anything if he did not pay the money this time, and besides, it was Song Dashan who caused the trouble.
But Song Dachuan said nothing. He had emptied his parents' family savings. This was not just a matter of a few hundred copper coins. This was five taels of silver. They had to get this certificate, otherwise the child would be disappointed.
Old Song also understood his son's concerns, so he pressed his fingerprints happily and said to his son:
"Dachuan, you should go back quickly and take a look. Don't let those people destroy your house again."
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll bring all the silver from home. They won't be able to find the silver. As long as they don't hurt Hui Niang and the two children, it will be fine."
"It's because you are filial that you managed to avoid that group of people. Otherwise, the silver would have gone to those people."
The village chief said, stroking his beard.
After receiving the note, Song Dachuan said goodbye to everyone, said a few words to the people in the yard, and hurried to Zhangjia Village. He even took a ox cart on the way, otherwise he would not have come back so soon.
After hearing what Song Dachuan said, everyone was glad that Song Dachuan reacted quickly, otherwise the five taels of silver would have been lost.
The Zhang family talked for a while before helping Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang back to their own home.
When only Song Dachuan's family was left, Lianyi took out the six taels of silver stored in the family from her arms, or actually from the space.
Zhang Hui Niang smiled and said:
"Lianyi, when did you hide?"
"When I was holding Tiger."
After saying this, he pushed the silver change and copper coins to Zhang Hui Niang and asked her to put them away.
"Keep it. I'll ask you for money later."
Song Dachuan said directly.
Hu Zi blinked and asked curiously:
"Sister, when did you hide it? How come Hu Zi didn't find it?"
"By the time you found out, the silver had already been taken away."
Lianyi tapped Hu Zi's little nose and said with a smile.
"Sister is amazing."
Hu Zi said admiringly.
"That's right, it doesn't matter whose sister she is."
"She's Hu Zi's sister!"
Hu Zi immediately said happily.
The sister and brother started to quarrel.
The crisis was resolved, and Song Dachuan and Zhang Huiniang also breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, Lianyi asked Shijiu directly:
"Have the people sent by Madam Yao left?"
"They are still searching nearby and have not left yet."
"It seems that my butterfly wings have created a huge whirlwind."
"In Kyoto, Madam Yao has arranged for Young Master Yao to go to Wangshan Town to pick up his bride, and to search for the lost evidence in private."
Shijiu immediately informed the police.
"Got it! After Dong Qinglian gets married, we will send the evidence to Master Yao."
Nothing happened that night, and the next day was a brand new day. Song Dachuan's family began to get busy again. Both husband and wife were used to doing farm work and could not sit idle. Song Dachuan first helped Hui Niang to tidy up the vegetable garden in the backyard.
When those people were searching for things, they even searched the vegetable fields. They pulled out all the grown vegetables and threw them randomly in the fields. The farmers couldn't bear to see the food being wasted, so Hui Niang collected all the vegetables, ate some of them fresh, dried some of them, and pickled some of them.
Lianyi's task is to take care of her younger brother, cook and take care of the chickens at home. The task is easy. She gets up early every day to go to Wankou Mountain, ostensibly to chop wood, but actually to absorb spiritual light spots and come back to nourish Hu Zi's body.
Lianyi's life was leisurely and comfortable. In a blink of an eye, half of the summer had passed, and the wedding procession of the eldest son of the Yao family also arrived in Wangshan Town. This news was brought back by Song Dachuan when he went to the town to attend the market.
"Dad, this Mr. Yao came quite early. I heard from the nanny beside Miss Dong Er that the wedding will be after the autumn harvest."
Lianyi watched Huzi walking slowly in the yard while talking to Song Dachuan.
"This wealthy family has a lot of things to do when getting married, unlike us farmers. I guess Master Yao was worried that he would be delayed on the way, so he came here early."
Song Dachuan said indifferently.
Lian Yi's eyes flashed, and then she smiled and said to Song Dachuan:
"Dad, there will be a temple fair in the town in a few days. Mom has been saying that she wants to go to fulfill a vow. I thought that our whole family should go to join in the fun, and by the way, we can go to the Puji Hall in the town to ask the old doctor to check Hu Zi's pulse to see if his weak symptoms have improved."
After listening to this, Song Dachuan thought for a while and said:
"I think this is a good idea. I'll follow your advice. We'll leave a day earlier, stay in town for one night, go to the temple fair the next day, and come back in the afternoon."
"Dad is really thoughtful. He took Huzi to see a doctor on the first day and went to the temple fair on the second day. We are not in a hurry and we can even go to the market."
Ripple said with a smile.
Because his family had six taels of silver as a base, Song Dachuan did not feel that anxious and readily accepted Lianyi's proposal.
Hui Niang was also very happy to hear this, and Hu Zi was the happiest. He had been to the town only a few times since he was a child, and every time he went there he was held in the arms of a doctor fully armed, and he hadn't seen anything else. When he heard about the temple fair, he began to look forward to it with starry eyes.
The next day, Song Dachuan and his family set off for the town on a ox cart. When the villagers asked about it, the family said in unison that they were going to take Hu Zi to see a doctor, so no one asked any more questions.
When they arrived in the town, Lianyi's family of four went to book an inn first. They asked for a medium-sized room at Hongfu Inn, which was big enough for a family of four. After putting down their belongings, they carried Hu Zi and went straight to Pujitang.
Lianyi and her friends went there at a good time. The doctor sitting in the clinic was Hong Tianqing, the old doctor from Pujitang. There were many people queuing up. Lianyi, holding Huzi, trotted a few steps and joined the queue, and just in time she got the number tag.
My dears, there is more before ten o'clock. I will send you two chapters first, and then write the remaining two chapters after dinner. My mother came today, so I wrote a little late.
