Wang Shiyu was no longer a child who had just arrived here. She understood how expensive medicine was at that time. A single dose of those bitter medicinal soups would cost several taels of silver.
But her mother's condition was not suitable for pregnancy, especially after the long journey. She did not get a good rest after arriving in Qiongdao, so she just went to work. It was really a blessing for her mother to be pregnant with this child. Now looking at her mother's attitude, she will definitely keep this child. I can only get some tonic to nourish her mother.
Mo Ru Ru smiled and touched Wang Shiyu's hair, with some sadness and some relief in her eyes. It was really worth her love for this daughter.
"Okay, mother knows. I will buy some tonics. When the time comes, I will just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to maintain the pregnancy and nourish the body. You don't need to buy too much. I am pregnant now, so I can't take too many supplements. Your grandfather gave us 100 taels of silver to live on for a year. This amount of money is not enough to live in Jizhou City, so we should save some things. We still have to save a little."
Looking at his own one hundred taels of silver, and then looking at the one hundred and fifty taels of silver that the old man gave to Zhou Qingyun for private lessons, the difference was obvious at a glance. There was indeed no comparison.
He even gave Zhou Qingyun another 100 taels of silver in private so that he could buy some better pens, ink, paper and inkstone. How could the old man not know the expenses in Jizhou City?
Worried that Zhou Qingyun would be treated harshly, and also worried that they would run out of money and end up having to eat coarse food, she let Zhou Qingyun keep the money for herself and go out for a good meal when she was hungry, without having to worry about the mother and daughter.
Although Zhou Qingyun felt a little strange, he agreed to his grandfather's request. However, he turned around and gave the one hundred taels of silver to Wang Shiyu, asking her to keep it. After all, he had already decided not to go out unless necessary.
Zhou Qingyun was not an ungrateful person. He naturally knew that the old man seemed to have some purpose towards him, otherwise he would not be so nice to him.
But it is really wrong to treat his pregnant daughter-in-law and granddaughter like this. He has no way to go out now. Giving the money to Wang Shiyu is the best choice. It can even indirectly please Mo Ruru and her daughter. You know, he has not spent this time in vain. He knows that although Wang Shiyu is not very old, she is very calculating and has even thought about the consequences of his exposure.
So his one hundred taels of silver was considered a surrender, and he couldn't spend it anyway.
After watching the mother and daughter leave, Zhou Qingyun took a wooden basin to the well and started to fetch water, intending to wipe the dust in the house. No one had lived here for some time, and he couldn't rest at all without cleaning up.
Wang Shiyu remembered that she still had some money in her hands. After all, this was Zhou Qingyun's first step towards being honest with her.
"Mom, Grandpa gave Zhou Qingyun a hundred taels of silver in private. When he left just now, Zhou Qingyun gave me the money directly. I plan to keep fifty taels to buy him pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. The rest of the money will be used to buy some food. It will be enough to improve our lives. Don't treat yourself badly. Even if the money is not enough, your daughter will find a way. We living people will not be suffocated to death by the world."
Wang Shiyu inadvertently looked up and saw the sadness in Mo Ruru's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she closed her eyes silently. Then she opened her eyes and continued to talk with a smile, and even sold Zhou Qingyun out.
Mo Ruru chuckled. It was good for her daughter to have some money. If something happened to her and she couldn't go home in time, or if something happened, the two children would not starve at home. Xiaoyu was a good child who had a plan in mind and would arrange the lives of the two of them.
"That's good. Let's buy some sauces and salt first, and then some cloth and cotton. I heard from the people here that the winter isn't really cold, it's just that the wind is biting. We need to buy some coal and firewood to burn at home in the winter, otherwise the cold won't be bearable. It's different here than in the north. There are no firewood here, so we can only rely on firewood for heating. They also say that cold waves here can be particularly severe, so we must stock up on enough firewood."
Mo Ru Ru was thinking about her future life, so she slowly talked to Wang Shiyu on the way. She never thought of hiding her future plans from her daughter. No matter what her child became, she was still her daughter, and she would not abandon the child inexplicably like the old man did.
She saw Wang Shiyu's expression when she looked up just now, and she guessed that the emotion in her eyes was also seen by the child. She also understood what Wang Shiyu was thinking just now. She was a smart child. No matter what happened, she was still her daughter based on the affection she had given to escorting her and her husband all the way.
