Chapter 95 Treat Xing Xing as a Daughter

All the words of Mrs. Wei turned into one sentence:

"Don't do this again in the future."

Compared with Xingxing's safety, Mrs. Wei would rather not have the ginseng.

Dowry money is hard to come by; that's something the adults should worry about. Why should a three-year-old girl like her worry about this?

Xing Xing nodded her head repeatedly.

After Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng showed concern for Xingxing, they couldn't help but look at the plump white ginseng.

Li Chunhua smacked her lips and said, "How much does this thick ginseng cost?"

Su Rouer recalled: "I remember when I was a kid, I saw a thumb-sized tree in a pharmacy, and it was sold for fifteen taels of silver..."

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng took a breath of cool air at the same time!

The ginseng that Xingxing dug was as thick as her wrist and as long as her forearm!

How much does this cost?

Li Chunhua's breathing became a little heavier.

She can't figure it out!

Bai Xiaofeng smiled with tears in her eyes, "Xingxing, Xingxing is really our family's lucky star! ... With this ginseng, even if the boys can become scholars, this tuition money will be enough!"

Xing Xing was very happy to hear that. She dangled her legs on the edge of the kang and swayed, "Can my brothers all go to school now?"

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but kiss Xingxing on the cheek: "Auntie's good baby, you can go, you can definitely go!"

Xingxing smiled shyly and happily.

Li Chunhua patted her eldest son on the back and said, "Brother Huai, look how much your sister misses you! You should study hard in the future and give your sister a generous dowry in the future!"

Ever since Huai'er and his three friends found out that Xingxing fell down the hillside to pick ginseng for them, they were all moved and sad.

Several teenagers also secretly swore in their hearts that if they became successful in the future, they would never let Xingxing suffer even a little bit!

"Mom, the third son is not here, what should we do with the ginseng?" Yu Daniu asked Mrs. Wei.

During the famine years in recent years, medicinal herbs have become increasingly expensive. Even farmers who have not seen much ginseng know the value of this thing!

The best way is to wait for Yu Sanbao to come back and deal with it.

But Yu Sanbao happened to be out on business, and no one knew when he would be back.

They knew how to store and process ordinary medicinal herbs, but this was the first time they had seen something as precious as ginseng. How would they know how to store it?

What if it gets damaged at home?

Mrs. Wei made the decision: "Let's take this to the county to ask tomorrow!"

She looked at them and said, "Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, don't go to work tomorrow. You should accompany me and your father to the county town."

Several adult men in the Yu family nodded repeatedly.

The Yu family was so excited that they couldn't sleep that night.

Before dawn the next day, several adult males of the Yu family, as well as Old Man Yu and Mrs. Wei, quietly left the Yu family's house and went to the county.

Li Chunhua, Bai Xiaofeng, Su Rouer and other sisters-in-law did not sleep well either, and were waiting anxiously.

It was not until the afternoon that the Yu family members who had gone to the county town finally returned from the county.

Those who are calmer have some excitement on their faces.

Someone as simple-minded as Yu Erhu had an expression on his face that showed he was almost scared!

It is obvious at a glance that this ginseng must have been sold at a good price!

"How much?" Li Chunhua asked anxiously, excitedly and nervously.

Yu Daniu first turned around and closed the wooden door of the Yu family. They couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes. They went to the main house and began to take out silver bars from their pockets!

The farmers didn't know how to use banknotes, so they specifically asked the drugstore owner to exchange them for more convenient silver!

Ingots of silver, some newer and some older, were placed on the table.

Mrs. Wei's voice trembled: "One hundred and fifty taels, a full one hundred and fifty taels of silver!"

Li Chunhua, Bai Xiaofeng and Su Rouer, the three sisters-in-law, hugged each other, trying not to scream out.

One hundred and fifty taels!

One hundred and fifty taels!

They can't earn that much in their entire life!

The Yu family members all had smiles on their faces!

After calming down a little, Mrs. Wei took out a beautiful little silver lock from her arms and placed it on the table.

"This ginseng was discovered by Xingxing, and I bought this longevity lock just for Xingxing. Do you have any objections?"

According to Mrs. Wei, she wanted to buy gold for Xingxing.

But at this time of year, the ones with gold are a bit too eye-catching.

This silver longevity lock is still the best, it has a good head and is safe to wear inside clothes when the time comes.

Li Chunhua, Bai Xiaofeng, Su Rouer and their sisters-in-law all shook their heads.

This money was entirely earned by Xingxing. Not to mention buying a longevity lock for Xingxing, even if the mother-in-law gave most of the money to Xingxing, they wouldn't have any objection.

Mrs. Wei glanced at the expressions of her three daughters-in-law and was quite satisfied.

"But, there is something I must say first." Mrs. Wei said seriously, "You all know what our family's situation was like before. Since we had Xingxing, our life has been getting better day by day. Now we have received such a huge sum of 150 taels, so we don't have to worry about the dowries of the brothers. But Xingxing has no parents, and your father and I are old. If Xingxing hasn't married yet, your father and I will leave, and you must swear in front of me that you will treat Xingxing as your own daughter and prepare a dowry for Xingxing that is more than that of a daughter of a real daughter, not less!"

When these words were spoken, several daughters-in-law were terrified.

"Mom, what are you talking about! You and dad are still young. Let alone Xingxing getting married, when Xingxing gives birth to a baby, we will have to bring the baby back and call you grandpa!"

"That's right, mother, don't worry. No matter what happens, we have already treated Xingxing as our own daughter."

"That's right! Mom, don't worry, as long as I give her a bite, Xingxing will never go hungry in the future!"

Several daughters-in-law expressed their opinions one after another. Mrs. Wei was quite satisfied with what she heard. She nodded and smiled a little: "Also, when I came back, I discussed it with your father. It's not a good idea to keep such a large sum of money at home. We plan to let the third child open a store in the county when the time comes."

Su Rou'er was just listening, but she didn't expect that this good thing would suddenly fall into their third room:

"ah?"

Mrs. Wei glanced at Su Rouer and said, "The third brother can make money as a businessman, but I told your father last time that the third brother suffers from a weak foundation. He doesn't have his own store, so he can only run around like this and make a meager profit. But if he opens his own store, the profit will definitely be much greater."

Su Rouer was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"However, we have to wait for the third son to come back to discuss the details." Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "If the third son is willing, we will go to the county and look for a small store! It would be best if it has a small yard. Then, after school, the boys can live in the backyard, so they don't have to run back and forth!"

When Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng first heard that the third branch could open a store, even though they were very friendly to each other, they still felt a little jealous; but when they heard that several brothers in the family could get such a convenience, they no longer had any objections at all!

This is a great thing that the whole family can benefit from!
