Tang Baozhu looked through everything. As for the cultivation technique, she hadn't decided whether to practice it or not. After all, what if she gained immortality through cultivation? She was planning to do missions everywhere, so it seemed she would have to ask her system about it after completing this mission.
However, fearing she might be powerless to fight back in the future, she decided to continue cultivating. But she only needed to cultivate for a short time, as she was still thinking of traveling around and couldn't be trapped in this small world.
After checking everything, I went straight to sleep.
When Tang Baozhu woke up the next day, only her mother was there to watch over her; her father was not at home. "Mother, where is Father?"
“Your father has gone out to find your eldest brother and the others. Your parents are taking you to the capital. The land and house will be left to your brothers. We'll also go to the county town to buy an oxcart so it will be easier to travel.”
Tang Li was combing Baozhu's hair into little pigtails. She felt that her daughter was getting prettier and prettier. She felt that she and her husband were not particularly good-looking. How come their little daughter was getting prettier and prettier?
Tang Baozhu would never tell her mother that she had become increasingly beautiful because she had taken a lot of elixirs.
"Mother, shouldn't we go with my brother and the others? Wouldn't it be better if we went together?"
Tang Baozhu still thought that she should save as many lives as possible. Although they were not her mission, she had felt what it was like to have parents who loved her, just by being with Old Man Tang and Tang Li Shi. Her three older brothers were also their biological sons. If she could live, she would rather not die.
You should know that in the previous life, apart from the female protagonist, no one else survived. The entire village was wiped out. Just imagine how heinous that was.
Tang Li sighed. Her sons were unwilling to go out with the old couple, so she and her husband took their youngest daughter out. Her daughters-in-law were so happy they wanted to set off firecrackers to welcome them.
For the daughters-in-law, the old couple had left with their children, so they no longer had to pay for their retirement. They also got the house and land. They would be laughing in their sleep at night. Why would they go out with them?
"Baozhu, be good. Your brother and the others aren't coming with us. You'll stay with Mommy and Daddy then, okay?"
"Okay, Baozhu loves Daddy and Mommy the most."
Tang Li stroked Baozhu's head. This was her precious daughter, whom she had protected with great difficulty. The little girl was only four years old, but she was growing more and more beautiful. In order to prevent her from marrying a farmer and suffering in the future, and to enable her to live a good life, she had to take her little girl away from this place and go to the capital where she would have a better chance of marrying into a good family.
In the afternoon, Old Tang returned in a new oxcart. The shed in the back was almost new, and there was definitely enough room for a family of three to lie down.
When they returned, almost everyone in the village saw them, and they were all talking about it.
"What kind of fortune has Old Man Tang struck? He actually bought an oxcart. Have you heard anything about it?"
"I heard from his eldest daughter-in-law that his youngest daughter wanted to learn embroidery, so the old couple sold everything they owned to send her there. If you ask me, daughters are all money-losing goods; they'll belong to someone else sooner or later. Which family would treat their daughter like a treasure like the Tang family did?"
"That old man Tang is really muddle-headed. When he gets old, he'll still have to rely on his son. He'll regret it later."
"That's right, that's right."
Old Tang's eldest daughter-in-law happened to see it too, and her face instantly turned ugly. She felt that her husband must have hidden some money, so she quickly ran home to discuss it with her eldest son, and also to talk to her two other sisters-in-law. All the sons in the family should have a share of the money, so how could they let their sister-in-law, that money-losing girl, have it?
Not only would she not agree, but her sisters-in-law would not agree either.
As soon as the eldest son's wife got home, she said to Tang the eldest son, "Your father bought a new oxcart today. The old couple must have a lot of money. You should go and ask him for some. We can't let it all go to your sister-in-law."
Although Old Tang's three sons did not approve of their father having another child at such an advanced age, they were still very filial to him. Upon hearing this, they said without looking up, "What does it matter to you whether the old couple has money or not? The division of the family property was very clear. Even if they have money, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to cause trouble, then go back to your parents' home. Our family does not need a troublemaker."
When the eldest son's wife heard what he said, she started crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. "I've worked hard since I married into your Tang family, even if I haven't done anything special! How can you send me back to my parents' home? You heartless bastard! Why is my life so miserable? It's outrageous! You're abandoning your wife for your sister-in-law!"
Tang Laoda pretended not to hear her and didn't care how much she wailed. After all, it wasn't the first or second time. She would come whenever things didn't go her way, and he was used to it. He didn't take it seriously. "Anyway, I've said my piece. If you don't listen, don't blame me for being impolite. The time we separated the family, I only let you have your way because I wanted to. Don't think I'm easy to talk to. I'm not someone who doesn't hit women."
The Tang family, including the second and third sons, were like this. Unfortunately, as long as the head of the family disagreed, they couldn't cause any trouble. Besides, the old couple's land and house had been divided among the three families, so they were already very content.
Old Tang drove the oxcart into the yard, and seeing Tang Baozhu running towards him, he immediately picked her up and asked, "Baozhu, did you miss Daddy?"
"Father, when are we leaving?"
Although Tang Baozhu hadn't stayed in this small mountain village for long, she grew tired of seeing the same scenery every day and was particularly eager to see what ancient cities were like. Who would have thought she could travel to ancient times? It would be such a pity not to explore the area.
"We'll be leaving in the next couple of days. Once your father and mother have settled things at home, we'll take you to see the capital. Let me tell you, the capital is incredibly prosperous, and it's full of wealthy families."
Tang Baozhu looked at Old Man Tang's face, which seemed to be full of reminiscence. It seemed that he had been to the capital before.
"Father, have you ever been to the capital?"
“I’ve been there, of course I’ve been there. Your father stayed there for two years. When I was young, I did odd jobs there and met your mother there. Then we came back to this little mountain village together and never went back.”
Tang Li had just come out of the house when she heard the old man's words. She gave him a reproachful look and said, "That's all ancient history. What's there to say? Did you buy a steamed bun for lunch?"
“I ate it, I really ate it this time. Don’t worry about me, I’m taking good care of my health. I want to live a few more years and watch my little daughter grow up.”
"Don't talk nonsense again. Put your little girl down quickly. She's been running around all day and must be tired. She needs to rest."
