Song Yuehua led the sheep and bought ten pounds of pork at the butcher's shop, which came with two large pork bones. She also bought a can of salt, a pound of brown sugar, two pounds of almonds, two empty cans, a pair of scissors, a kitchen knife, two buckets, three bowls, and two spoons at the grocery store.
When passing by a cloth shop, I hesitated for a moment, but still went in and bought half a piece of cotton cloth, half a piece of coarse cloth, and two needles, and asked the boss to give me some thread and cloth scraps.
As soon as I left the cloth shop, I went to the rice shop and bought five catties of corn, ten catties of brown rice, five catties of flour, and five catties of white rice.
When Song Yuehua came to the ox cart carrying a heavy backpack, two buckets, and a sheep, Ma Ye was shocked and hurried to help take the backpack and asked, "Daya, why did you buy so much?"
"There's nothing we can do," Song Yuehua carried the lamb onto the ox cart, "We lack everything at home."
Knowing her situation, Master Ma understood, but he still couldn't help but advise her, "You just became the head of the family, so you still have to save money."
Song Yuehua nodded, and soon after the things were loaded onto the ox cart, everyone arrived.
On the way back, seeing Song Yuehua bought so many things, some petty people couldn't help but say something sour, "It's good to split up the family. With money, you can build whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Master Ma immediately asked, "Why, you want to split up the family too? When I get back, I'll ask your father-in-law what immoral things he did that made it so hard for you to live with him."
"No, no!"
The sour-mouthed daughter-in-law was shocked. If she really told her parents-in-law about this, she would be in big trouble. "Uncle Ma, I'm just a big mouth. I love to talk nonsense. Please don't take it seriously."
Then he said to the others in the car, "I'm just confused and talking nonsense. Please don't take it seriously."
When the car arrived at the village, after everyone got off, Ma Ye drove the ox cart directly to Song Yuehua's door.
After getting off the car, Song Yuehua had just moved her things out of the car when Ma Ye drove the ox cart away without looking back.
Song Yuehua, "..."
Xiaoyu, who had been waiting at the door, saw Song Yuehua coming back and immediately trotted out. She was surprised when she saw the lamb, "Sister, you bought a lamb!"
"Yes, Dabao and Xiaobao can drink goat milk from now on."
When Song Yuehua returned home, Grandma Wang explained the situation of Xiaobao and Dabao and went back to her own home.
The twins had already had their diapers changed and had drunk rice soup. They were now blowing bubbles with their eyes open. Song Yuehua couldn't help but kissed each of their little cheeks.
The two sisters packed up the things they bought, and Xiaoyu excitedly put on the backpack and went to cut grass to feed the sheep.
Song Yuehua sat at the table and counted the remaining silver and money.
I spent 2 taels of silver on buying the land, 3 taels of silver on buying the sheep, and almost 3 taels of silver on rice, meat, and household items. Now I have 12 taels of silver left and 632 copper coins left.
There are still many places to spend money.
We still cook outside with pottery pots supported by stones. If it rains, we can’t even get hot water. If we want to build a stove, we have to rebuild a house. And one house is not enough. A toilet is a must. We also need a utility room to burn firewood in the winter...
You also need an iron pot, and farm tools for clearing wasteland and growing vegetables...
It would be better to dig another well. It is troublesome to go to the stream to fetch water every time, and it is even more dangerous when it freezes in winter.
When the weather gets cold in a few months, it would be best to build a kang for the sake of the children. It is too difficult to get sick now, especially for babies. Yes, we must have a kang.
Song Yuehua stuffed the silver into her arms and began to think about how to make money.
