Chapter 115: Settling Down
Shen Qingqian looked at him with embarrassment, "Fourth brother, to be honest, I'm not so sure. After all, I've only seen it in books and haven't seen it in person."
Shen Yong stretched his neck and said, “Okay, whether it succeeds or not, Fourth Brother will just treat it as making a little toy for you.”
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Shan out of the house.
Wu and others cleaned the house inside and out, and then looked at the empty house, feeling sad.
Master, do you see that we will settle down here in the future?
However, Mrs. Wu was only sad for a moment and soon cheered up. She called her two sisters-in-law and Shen Xiao into the house and asked Shen Jun to guard outside.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Lin asked anxiously.
Liang didn't say anything, but looked at Wu nervously.
Mrs. Wu smiled soothingly, "Don't be afraid, it's nothing. I just want to tell you about our family's current situation."
When they heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin said, "We are watching what's going on at home, so there's no need for you to say anything."
Liang also said: "Yes, we believe that sister-in-law and Xiao can lead us to live a good life."
"Look at what you said. After all, we are all a family now. Now that the head of the family is gone, we women have to support the family. We have to not only make our big family live well, but also make sure our own small families can live well."
When Wu said this, she was distracted for a moment.
Who could have imagined that in just less than three months, the family of the former imperial tutor and imperial teacher would have fallen into such a state? It truly is "the most ruthless imperial family"!
Wu was distracted for a moment, then quickly continued, "I called you here to tell you what I brought with me when I left, and what we can pawn for money."
As she spoke, she nodded to Shen Xiao, who reached into his arms and placed the things in his arms on the raft that served as a makeshift table.
"This is..." Lin was stunned and turned to look at Liang.
But then Liang shyly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and said, "Sister-in-law, I brought some too."
When Wu saw what Liang had taken out, she was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, it has to be you. No wonder the old lady said that you are a person with a plan in mind."
I saw that Liang's handkerchief was double-layered. At this moment, Liang tore a hole in it. The whole golden thing in the middle layer, what else could it be but a piece of gold?
Liang lowered her head in embarrassment. "It was my mother who taught me to always have something I can take with me."
In an era of low productivity, gold flakes were not easy to come by. Depending on the market conditions, their selling price was sometimes higher than that of ordinary gold.
A piece this big from Liang's is more valuable than Wu's gold leaf.
Lin was extremely ashamed and said guiltily: "Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't hide anything."
She had always been in poor health and had been recuperating all day. In addition, she had no sense of crisis. When she received the news of the house raid, she fainted. When she woke up, she was already on the road. She had no chance to hide anything.
Mrs. Wu took her hand and comforted her, "Don't blame you. None of us knew these things would happen. Besides, with my things and those of my third brother and his wife, we have enough to settle down here. You don't have to blame yourself."
"But I..." Lin was about to cry, "We can't keep spending your money!"
Wu deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you want to separate from us?"
The Shen family has always been very united. When the parents-in-law were alive, they had no intention of splitting up. Now that the old people are gone, and they have experienced the dangers of exile, Wu knows the benefits of a family being together, so naturally she is unwilling to split up at this time.
"Yes, second sister-in-law, we are a family. Please don't say two things between us. When Shan'er and Yong'er grow up, we will enjoy their happiness together." Liang also advised.
Lin was persuaded by the two and finally stopped crying.
The sisters-in-law talked for a while and made some simple arrangements for the household affairs.
At this moment, Shen Yong's loud voice came from outside the house, "Sixth sister, I have found all the things!"
