Inside the blacksmith shop, Erguotou was sitting there bored.
At the beginning, Song Yuehua asked Erguotou to guard for three months, and she only paid him one month's salary, and there were still two 250 cents left unpaid to him.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Is this a regular job?"
Erguotou sighed and said, "Thanks to you, I can't leave now. If I leave, I'm afraid this blacksmith shop won't be able to continue."
"Are you so important?" Song Yuehua asked curiously.
Erguotou said helplessly, "Master Zhao is really generous and wants to teach me everything. I spend every day in it and I don't know what I am thinking about."
Song Yuehua counted out 500 coins and handed them to him, saying, "Two 250 coins each, we are done."
"Cleared." Erguotou put away the coins and said with a smile.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Xiaoyu asked Song Yuehua why she had to pay for Erguotou.
Song Yuehua limped along, telling the story of Erguotou, Xiao San, and He Xiaowan. At the end, she explained, "Erguotou has taken control of the matter of Xingjia Village, and I can't touch him openly. 750 coins is not much, but it can help me keep Erguotou out, and it can also free Xiaofu from home."
"Originally, I planned to let Erguotou work in the blacksmith shop for at least a year. I would spend at most three taels of silver, and a year would be enough time for him to separate from the school."
Xiaoyu continued, "I didn't expect Erguotou to still have a conscience, and it helped everyone get a good result. He learned a skill, Sister no longer has to worry, Xiaofu has books to read, and Uncle Zhao has someone to look after him."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "That's right. When you are alone outside in the future, you don't have to worry if you encounter problems. As long as you find a good entry point, everything can be solved easily."
Xiaoyu hummed heavily.
After buying things in the county town, Song Yuehua took a ox cart directly to Dongshan and visited all the places she was concerned about.
The cotton stalks in the two cotton fields were growing well. I picked a piece of land at random and tested the soil moisture, which was just right.
There was no delay in watering and fertilizing, and the cotton in Zongyi's field was growing well. With Zhou Dafu around, as long as he did his job conscientiously, there would be no major problems.
After looking at the cotton fields, Song Yuehua arrived at the compound and went to the pig farm and chicken farm with the help of a crutch.
Liu Xue followed behind anxiously and asked, "Can you walk with your legs? If you get hurt by trying to be brave, you will have to stay at home for several months before you can recover."
"It's okay," Song Yuehua said helplessly, "It's okay to walk around a little. The doctor said it's fine."
Liu Xue went to the other side to support her.
"Those are the piglets we just caught. They have grown a lot after being raised for so long." Liu Xue said, pointing at a group of squealing piglets.
The hygiene of the pig farm is as good as ever, and the pigs, both big and small, look very energetic.
After leaving the pig farm, I stopped by the chicken farm.
The number of big chickens in the chicken farm had dropped by more than half. Song Yuehua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Dead?"
"What do you mean dead? It was taken away. Didn't I tell you before? It was taken away by the swineherd." Liu Xue said.
Song Yuehua still felt something was wrong, "Where are those half-grown chickens? Why are all of them gone?"
Liu Xue explained, "I was also very surprised. Originally, the chickens were not yet grown up, but the swineherd begged me to sell them to him, and he even raised the price. I calculated and thought I would not lose out, so I sold them to him. There were still a hundred or so hens laying eggs, and I refused to agree, so he gave up. I saw that he was so eager to buy all the chickens in the farm."
This pigherd is a little weird!
Song Yuehua couldn't figure out what was strange, so she looked at the chirping chicks and asked, "How many are there here?"
"We bought more than 500, some died, and there are more than 460 left." Liu Xue said.
That's not bad.
After coming out of the chicken farm, Liu Xue sent her to the ox cart and told her not to go around anymore.
Song Yuehua is now limping, and every now and then she receives pig's trotter soup from the Zhang, Ma, Wang and Zhou families.
Since I came back, I have never been out of stock of pig's trotters. I only bought some once, and the rest were delivered by these stores in turn.
When Liu Xue came over with the big bowl, Song Yuehua said, "Are you here to give me pig's trotters as well?"
"Don't worry, it's not pig's trotter soup," Liu Xue said, "I thought you might be tired of it. This is the chicken feet that I asked Master Ma to buy from the pig farmer. Xie Wenwu made this chicken feet stew. You can try it."
Song Yuehua, "..."
There was the chicken feet pot sent by Liu Xue, the bone soup sent by Madam Xia, and the pig's trotter soup sent by each family. Song Yuehua suddenly felt like eating vegetarian food.
Now, Dabao and Xiaobao have to go to school with Xiaoyu every day. After lunch, they go to Dongshan for training. Tian takes care of the family affairs, and Song Yuehua can only do some accounting besides recuperating from her injuries.
Occasionally I would take a ox cart to visit the cotton fields, but there was nothing else I could do.
Just after lunch today, Gu Qing came over.
This is strange. Ever since attending Gu Qing and Liu Meiniang's wedding, I haven't seen the two of them again.
According to Aunt Pang, Gu Qing was confined at home by Huang Fengjuan to study, and now there was Liu Meiniang who taught her women's virtues every day.
Song Yuehua just treated the matter between the two people as gossip and forgot about it.
Gu Qing came over and said in a panic, "Miss Song, I beg you, can I borrow your ox cart?"
Song Yuehua took the cane and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mei Niang is going to give birth early, and Master Ma has gone to the county town. Now you are the only one with the ox cart. Please help." The anxiety on Gu Qing's face was real.
Song Yuehua called Tian and asked her to call Grandma Xi over quickly.
Hearing that Song Yuehua ignored him, Gu Qing hurriedly said, "Miss Song, I'm willing to pay any amount of money. Please help me once because I helped you before."
