"Huahua, this is yours, and this is mine." She poured all her silver into a box. Seeing that there was still some left in the box, she took out the silver from the warehouse and put it in. She now had 95,300 taels. She had spent several hundred taels before, which were used to buy furniture. In her trading system, she only had 4,300 taels. The previous ones had all been used to buy things.
Put both boxes in the warehouse. Now the warehouse has sixteen compartments for food, one for a makeup box containing the original owner's things, and one for toiletries. The skincare products are already on the outside, and the inside is for bathing and washing clothes.
One was for the bath tub, and the other for clothes. There were only two sets, though; the rest were already in the wardrobe. These two sets were spares, just in case they needed them sometime. She had a lot of clothes, and whenever there were new styles, Hua Hua would take two sets, one for each of them, even if the colors were bright, they would still wear them.
They are almost forty years old now. Although they are a bit old, there is no rule against wearing bright colors. In fact, it's just that the colors are nice. They don't wear bright red.
There was a lot of toilet paper in the box, but when she thought about toilet paper, she realized that she was not even forty years old yet, so why didn't she have her period? No, she had to go see Dr. Liu another day.
One box contained land deeds, all the deeds to her houses and land; another contained venison and tiger meat, some of which she had eaten before, but not much; one contained tiger and fox skins; and one contained silver notes, which she had been robbed of, 1,600 taels, which she had kept there. One compartment held a large knife, and another held a box of silver that had just been divided.
There are already twenty-seven slots filled with items, and seventy-three slots are empty. Take three large knives out of the warehouse and give them to Xia Hua; she still has the rest to use.
"Huahua, these are the big knives of the people who robbed me. Here are three for you. You don't know, when those people showed up, I immediately took a liking to these big knives. They thought I was scared."
Although those people robbed her, I have to say they were really good people. I really hope more people like that rob her, so she can give up her workshop business. However, such a good thing only happens once.
Hua Hua looked at those broadswords and thought they were quite nice, just like the one from last time, very sharp. They wanted to buy broadswords but couldn't find any.
"Now that it's done, go back to sleep. We have things to do tomorrow. Oh, and the pajamas won't be finished until tomorrow, so you'll have to make do tonight." Anyway, I slept in my clothes before and was able to sleep just fine.
An Shuyi nodded, indicating that she understood, and the two returned to their respective rooms.
Perhaps because the bed was so nice, the two of them slept until noon the next day before waking up. They were only woken up by the sound of the bell and got up groggily.
Hearing the noise outside, An Shuyi got up, tidied the quilt, went to the side room to wash up, and then returned to her room to wipe her face.
She took out a beizi (a type of traditional Chinese jacket) from the wardrobe, with a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese skirt) underneath, a patterned hem, and a light blue belt in the middle. She also wore a light blue outer shawl. After putting it on, she styled her hair in a mature woman's hairstyle and then inserted hairpins.
She went out through the hall to Xia Hua's room. She wondered if Hua Hua was awake at this hour. When she arrived, Xia Hua was also getting ready to come over. She had changed her clothes, but her hair was still loose.
"Shushu, when did you get up?" Xia Hua asked when she saw her.
"Hehe," An Shuyi laughed, "I just got up, I guess I'm about the same age as you. I'm all ready, let's go in and get your hair done."
It seems Hua Hua didn't get up first either, she's about the same age as her, so there's no need to feel awkward.
The two went back into the room, and Xia Hua sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for An Shuyi to style her hair.
"We've already had lunch, so I'll just give you a quick haircut, something like mine, it'll be fast."
"Just do whatever you think is best, I'm not picky."
Once Guan's hair was healed, the two went to the dining hall. The villagers were already eating. They took a large bowl and a pair of chopsticks from the basket and went to get their food, which was all in the pot.
Everyone was used to the two women sleeping in late, after all, it wasn't the first or second time that the two sisters-in-law had slept in late, so it was only natural that they did.
While eating, An Shuyi looked at Village Chief Lin beside her and said, "Wood, Huahua and I are planning to send Sanwa and Siwa to join the army. Can you see if anyone in the village wants to go? If so, come over and let us know later."
Before Village Chief Lin could speak, a voice came from the side, "Auntie, I want to go."
"Me too, Auntie, me too."
"I'll go too."
"Shut up," Village Chief Lin scolded the person who spoke. "Sister-in-law, why send your child to join the army? Isn't it good as it is now? You can earn money every day. It's much better to stay in the village."
“Sanwa is already nineteen years old. If we send him to join the army, we don’t know when he will get married when he comes back. And Siwa is still a child.”
"Uncle Village Chief, we want to go, but the wedding is still a long way off!" the third brother said. He was really afraid that his mother would listen to the village chief, and then he wouldn't be able to join the army.
Xiao Zili also looked at Aunt An, not expecting that she would actually think of sending her two sons to join the army. Although they are not fighting now, it doesn't mean they won't fight in the future. Swords and spears have no eyes; if they are injured or killed, they will be gone.
Everyone else looked at An Shuyi with puzzled expressions. Why would she send her two children to join the army now that things were settled? Only An's father knew that his daughter was already preparing for the future.
An Shuyi looked at everyone and said, "I sent them both there not only because they like it, but also because everyone should have the spirit to take risks. Although joining the army is dangerous, it is also a way out."
“The third and fourth children both learned martial arts from their father. They couldn’t settle down in the village and work in the workshop every day, so I let them go out and try their luck.”
“If you want your children to go, then go; if you don’t want them to go, then don’t. I’m just letting you know. Of course, my suggestion is that since the village is stable now, don’t send your children there.”
She wanted her son to go, and since he and his brother hadn't died in their previous life and had even become generals, she figured they wouldn't be any worse off in this life, which was why she felt so at ease.
Zhu the hunter came over and said, "Sister-in-law, let Da Niu come along too." A month ago, Sanwa and Siwa were practicing martial arts when Da Niu saw them and insisted on joining them.
Later, when he learned that they were going to join the army, he came back and said he wanted to go too. He objected, but the brat wouldn't listen. Just now, he was the one shouting that he wanted to go.
He has four sons. The first four are already married and have children. Only this youngest son is left. He is already eighteen years old. He was originally planning to find him a wife this year, but now he wants to join the army.
Although he wanted to stop him, he was really afraid that the child would sneak away, so he might as well agree. If the child could survive, that would be best; if he didn't, that would be his fate.
Seeing that Zhu the hunter agreed, and then looking at their own stubborn children, the others still didn't say anything.
An Shuyi nodded, "Then this matter is settled. The others should not say anything more and should just focus on working in the village. Joining the army is not a good place."
