Chapter 112 It costs money to raise a girl.
Yu Tingwan couldn't go out, so she had to borrow a hoe from the Zhao family and push the pile of soil next to her down to bury the pit.
She was strong, but she was a girl after all, and it was hard to do such things. She was soon tired and sweaty.
Without any extra tools, Hui Niang had to move the wooden boards from her home to the pit, and then she walked to the other side, squatted down and pushed the soil with her hands.
It was unknown how long it took.
The girl half bent over, supported her body with the hoe, and took a breath. When she was about to get up after resting enough, she felt dizzy for no reason.
Many fragmented pictures flashed before her eyes.
Some were blurry.
But... what is worth pondering is that she seemed to be grunting and digging the pit in the picture.
Wei Shen, who was seriously ill in white, leaned against the window and looked at her listlessly.
Unlike the unfamiliarity at this moment, the girl in the maid's clothes was burying the pit very vigorously, as if she had done it many times.
Wei Shen asked, "Are you tired?"
The girl said unhappily, "What did the young master say?"
Wei Shen: "Ha."
It was very irritating.
The girl's lips opened and closed, and she couldn't stop complaining.
Yu Tingwan was a little dazed, and wanted to listen more carefully, but her head suddenly hurt badly.
"Wan Niang, is that your father?"
Hui Niang's surprised voice exploded on the opposite side.
Yu Tingwan looked in the direction of the alley entrance when she heard the words.
Wei Shouzhong on the other side also saw them and hurried over.
Hui Niang didn't even bother to wipe her hands, she walked over and pulled Wei Shouzhong to look him up and down.
"The head of the family is finally here."
"Yesterday I told Wan Niang that I didn't know when you could find me, and I was afraid that something happened on the way."
Wei Shouzhong cared about one thing the most: "How is Alang?"
Hui Niang said, "Rest in the house. He has been taking medicine these days and is in much better spirits."
As she said that, she shouted towards the house.
"Yueshan, look who's here."
Yueshan ran out, and after seeing who it was, even the shyest person was surprised and shouted, "Dad!"
Hunter Peng smiled when he saw his son.
Although they had only been separated for a few days, he felt that Yueshan's face had become plump and his smile was much brighter.
Wei Shouzhong was in a trance.
However, after being separated for a few days, he actually had a house in the county town.
He bought it in full.
When the clinic gave him the address, he was dumbfounded.
Wei Shouzhong had a lot of questions to ask, but what he had to do now was to let the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rest first, and he would dig the pit.
He was a farmer with plenty of strength, and he was very efficient in doing this kind of thing.
After Wei Shouzhong dug the pit, he was afraid that the road was uneven, so he used a hoe to push down hard back and forth to make the ground flat.
Hui Niang said to Peng the Hunter in a gentle voice: "You must have been exhausted from traveling these days. Let's go to the house and rest first."
Peng the Hunter took the hot tea sent by Yu Tingwan, thanked him and drank it in big gulps.
"Aunt, I have to sell the game I hunted in the mountains to the restaurant as soon as possible, and I have to find a way to sell the animal skins in my hand. I won't sit in the house." When
Hui Niang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Yes, you should take care of the business first. Come back for dinner and I will cook some delicious dishes. You have been very hard these days."
In the house, Wei Zhao half leaned on the bed, his right leg bent, his hair loose, his lips pale, and a sense of brokenness emerged with his cough.
His eyes were deep. He
read ten lines at a glance and threw the letter paper sent by Rong Di through the blue crow into the charcoal basin.
The flames jumped and quickly devoured the letter paper without a trace.
The Dong family's money was indeed very rich, and the private property under his name was so much that even he was shocked.
The Dong family's money was not clean.
The houses and fields that were in plain sight... these, Wei Zhao couldn't move, and had to wait for the court to seal them up.
However...
Wei Zhao fell into deep thought.
After Wei Shouzhong dug the pit, he came to see Wei Zhao without even washing his hands.
Although Hui Niang said that A Lang was fine, only by seeing it with his own eyes could he feel at ease.
He looked at Wei Zhao, and his eyes softened a lot.
He walked in and said a lot of things.
Well, it was still a one-sided output like before.
Wei Zhao didn't say a word, but the difference was that he was listening.
In the end, Hui Niang couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Wei Shouzhong's eyes were blue and his body was dirty, she boiled a pot of hot water and sent him next door.
Yu Tingwan was rummaging through the two large baskets that Wei Shouzhong brought from the village in the yard.
The baskets were stuffed full, with everything in them.
After cleaning up, Yu Tingwan went back to the house.
She walked to the bed and sat down.
"We slaughtered all the chickens raised in the Wu family, plucked the feathers, and brought them all here. It can be seen that they are for your health."
Wei Zhao glanced at her.
Yu Tingwan said to herself, "There is also bacon. She said it was given by Granny Li."
"Dad stuffed three taels of money into my hand when he came back to the house just now. He said that he didn't have the ability to get ginseng, but he was really worried that you couldn't bear it. He was afraid that he didn't have enough money when he went out, so he went to borrow from every house."
Three taels is a large sum of money for a countryman. But if it's for medicine or medical treatment, you're afraid it's not enough.
Yu Tingwan sighed, "Our father is so good."
Wei Zhao was immersed in his own thoughts and asked faintly, "Do you like gold?"
Yu Tingwan said without hesitation, "I like it."
Wei Zhao: "Oh."
He wanted the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room of the Dong family.
What national treasury?
It should be his private treasury.
It costs money to recruit soldiers and horses, it costs money to forge weapons... and it costs money to raise a girl.
————
Unlike the previous life, the Hu family father and son did not rush home after the blockade was lifted, and now they are still staying in the town.
The streets are noisy, and even at dusk, all kinds of hawking sounds can be heard one after another.
Seeing people selling rattles at the stall, Hu Dazhu stopped and said to Hu Dalang beside him.
"According to the date, your wife should be giving birth soon. I wonder if this baby will add a new member or a new child to our Hu family."
A new member refers to a boy.
A new child refers to a girl.
Hu Dalang's face was flushed: "Mom said it was a grandson, I guess it's almost certain. When he goes back to study with Erlang, we may have another scholar in our family."
Hu Dazhu nodded: "We country people, our ancestors have been dealing with an acre of land for generations, and we can't make a name for ourselves. We still have to study."
"Look at the old scholar in the next village. He can go to the government office every month to collect silver and grain. He is so glorious when he goes out, not to mention the juren masters above."
Hu Dalang grinned.
He didn't care about that old scholar. He was still a scholar after taking exams all his life.
Erlang was different.
It was all thanks to Master Chu's attention. Even if
it was his first time to take the provincial examination this year, he would definitely pass.
Hu Dalang said, "It's easier to raise a country boy with a humble name. I thought I'd wait until he grows up and give Erlang a good name."
Dalang is so common.
Yaozu knew he was going to do great things.
Hu Dalang hoped that his son could also benefit from being a scholar.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Hu Dazhu sigh.
"I don't know if your mother is okay. It's not an exaggeration to say that your mother is vicious. I'm afraid that your mother will suffer."
That's true.
Hu Dalang nodded.
"My mother is indeed a shrew and unreasonable."
He also added, "My wife is not a good person either."
