When Song Tangzi heard this, he happily took out the weight from the utility room. This was what Cheng Fangyuan told him, otherwise he would not know so clearly where the weight was.
Xu Qi didn't say much. He picked up the scale and weighed it. He found that there were 23 jin and 1 liang, which was 168 yuan. However, he didn't expect to spend money this time, so he didn't bring much money with him. He only had a dozen yuan in change.
This immediately made him feel a little embarrassed.
Song Tanglan saw his predicament and asked Song Tangzi to put the weight back first. He quickly took out the 300 yuan he had prepared long ago, stuffed it into his hand and said, "A gold bar."
Xu Qi looked at the money in his hand, feeling helpless. "Didn't you say you weren't going to buy it?"
"I'm doing this to help you out, otherwise I wouldn't buy it! Just think about how disappointed I would be if you took the item away without paying. I'm doing this for your own good." No way.
Song Tanglan would never say that she had already prepared to buy an extra gold bar.
Anyway, I still have a lot of spare money, and I can't buy a house now, so I might as well use it to buy gold bars.
Xu Qi saw her acting like a spoiled brat and shook his head helplessly. "Okay, thank you for considering me then."
"You are welcome."
As soon as Song Tangzi came back from putting the weight on the scale, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. But before he could ask, Xu Qi counted the money and handed it to him.
"Here's the money for Huangqi. Can you see if the amount is correct?"
Song Tangzi happily took the money and counted it. When he found that the number was correct, he nodded happily.
"Right, right. Brother Xu, do you know how to prepare Astragalus?"
Xu Qi, upon hearing his question, showed a rare expression of embarrassment. However, seeing the child's face full of curiosity and admiration, he honestly said, "I don't know about that either."
Song Tangzi felt disappointed for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly cheered up, thanked Xu Qi, and then returned to his room with a large sum of money.
Seeing him walk away, Song Tanglan whispered, "You can bring it over anytime. There's no rush. There's no need to make another trip just for this."
Xu Qi looked helplessly at the somewhat guilty little girl before him and warned her, "This is the last time."
"Yes, yes, for the last time."
"Okay, I promise, I'll get it for you when I'm free. I'm leaving now, you go do your thing."
Song Tanglan suddenly remembered the fruit her second sister had told her to give him, and quickly stopped him from leaving. "Wait, don't leave so fast. The fruit at home is ripe. My second sister-in-law and her family asked me to give it to you."
After saying that, she made room on his backpack, took out the fruits that had been prepared long ago, and put them into the basket one by one. Only after all the fruits were put into the basket did she let him go.
Song Tanglan returned to the room and saw that Mumu had fallen asleep. Song Tangcheng had been waiting for her beside her. When he saw her come in, he asked, "Did you give him the fruit?"
"Give it to me, sister, you wouldn't believe it, but I sold those tree roots for over 160 yuan. They're quite valuable."
Seeing his younger sister's envious expression, Song Tangcheng explained, "Medicine is hard to come by these days. A single visit to the hospital costs a fortune. Western medicine is in short supply, and not everyone can afford it. Most people still use traditional Chinese medicine, but it's hard to find. Not everyone is as lucky as you guys, suddenly finding a nourishing herb."
"No, no, no, it's not us who are lucky, it's my little brother who is lucky. I just followed them around." Song Tanglan didn't think it had anything to do with her. After all, she knew her own luck.
They were chatting and laughing, but they didn't know that while they were chatting here, everyone in the team was gossiping about them, and with someone instigating it, the situation became more and more serious.
Everyone under the big locust tree was discussing this matter and their views on it.
"Do you think the captain's family has too much food and nowhere to store it, so they let their daughter-in-law subsidize her parents' family like this? They used to support a younger sister, and now they have a younger brother. That educated youth, Song, at least worked in the fields a while ago, but now he's gone to cut grass for pigs with those kids. The few work points he earns a day aren't even enough for himself to eat."
"Yeah, what do you think Sister Li is thinking? The daughter-in-law is using her own things to support her parents' family. Now she has a younger sister and now a younger brother is here. Will the whole family come next time?"
"No way, maybe the brother came to visit and brought a lot of money!" One of the aunts still had some doubts about what they said and couldn't help but retort.
Thinking of her rebuttal, she was immediately retorted by another aunt.
"What kind of money can I bring? I was told I'd be staying in the countryside for over a month. I heard that all my money was taken away by my family when I left. They said they were worried about my child. That's bullshit. They wanted my second daughter to support his two children."
"Yeah, yeah, it's really bad luck to meet such in-laws. If Fang Yuan hadn't made some money, maybe it wouldn't even be enough for them to build."
Just as their words were getting more and more outrageous and heated, Aunt Li passed by the tree as usual and planned to go to her private plot to take a look.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped directly. Looking at the malicious old woman in front of her, she didn't even take the melon seeds that were about to be stretched out to her hand.
"What's going on? Why don't you just chat about your own things? Why drag me into this? I still have to go to my own plot!"
Suddenly, an aunt with a sympathetic look on her face asked, "Sister, you are still in the mood to go to your private plot now. You can't spoil your daughter-in-law just because she just gave birth to a son."
"Yes, no matter how much you love her, you shouldn't be a mother-in-law like this. She doesn't have to work, stays at home all day, and has to support two children. It's not easy for your Fang Yuan."
