Da Hua's husband still thought there must be some misunderstanding, and that his wife must know the truth.
But when I looked up, I saw two large pieces of pork belly on the table.
She pulled Da Hua over and said, "Da Hua, why did you really buy so much meat? How much did this cost?"
Did you spend all your wages for work today?
Da Hua shook her head: "Mother, listen to me, this really wasn't something we bought, it was a gift from the princess."
Upon hearing this, everyone else's eyes widened in surprise.
The old lady was even more skeptical: "You said it was a gift from a princess? Why don't you say it was a gift from the emperor?"
I've never seen you talk like this before; you're becoming more and more absurd.
Big Flower's husband came straight up to Big Flower: "What exactly happened?"
"What princess gift? Weren't you out looking for work?"
Da Hua's husband has always trusted his wife very much, and he knows her better than anyone else.
She said she didn't buy it herself, so she didn't buy it herself.
How did the wife meet the princess?
Looking at her husband's expression, Da Hua knew that he was the one who trusted her.
It feels so good to be trusted unconditionally like this! (｀Δ′)
Erhua said directly, "Mother, listen to us. We went to the little princess today to ask for her back, but we didn't know that at the time."
Later I found out that it was actually the little princess.
This is what the little princess told the little princess. Because we are quite far away, and the shops there are open quite late at night.
So it means we can stay there, but of course, it's okay if we don't want to. Today's wages have been paid.
The old lady was shocked when she heard her second daughter-in-law say that.
"The princess you're talking about is our great dynasty's lucky princess."
Erhua nodded and said, "Our great dynasty only has one princess, so of course she is our lucky princess."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the old lady felt a pang of anxiety, as if a cat were scratching at her heart.
I can't wait to see what this lucky princess looks like.
That's Princess Fuxing, the lucky princess of the great dynasty.
The old man standing to the side looked at his wife's bright, sparkling eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud; his wife had been talking about Princess Fuxing every day at home.
They said that if they could meet him even once in this lifetime, they would have no regrets even if they died.
In particular, the grain grown on their own few acres of land, after deducting taxes, was not enough to feed their entire family.
Later, it was the lucky princess who produced those high-yield offspring.
At that time, the emperor issued an edict ordering everyone to grow this grain and also distributed the seeds.
To be honest, he didn't believe it at the time, but he thought that since it was an imperial edict.
They thought the emperor wouldn't harm them!
In the end, it was the old lady who made the decision to plant one acre of sweet potatoes.
Shortly after the crops were planted, a drought struck, and the other crops planted yielded virtually no harvest.
They hadn't had high hopes for the sweet potatoes, but when they harvested them, they found a whopping 3,000 jin (1,500 kg).
The whole family had made preparations to flee the famine, but unexpectedly, they didn't need to.
Back when our sweet potatoes weren't even harvested yet, several elderly people in the village starved to death in an attempt to save food. (╥w╥`)
Two biased villagers even sold their own daughters just to get a small half-bag of dark flour to feed their sons.
At that time, many people in the village received those grain seeds and ate them directly, because they didn't believe that these things could grow as well as the previous crops.
At that time, only his family, the village chief's family, and Aunt Liu's family next door were growing sweet potatoes.
After the sweet potatoes were harvested, the three families were able to save the entire village thanks to them.
But people in other villages weren't so lucky.
That meant that many people starved to death, so the old lady was truly grateful to the little princess.
Especially when the grain was put down, it was said that the little princess was behind it.
She even suggested that everyone should plant it, saying that once it's planted, everyone will be able to have enough to eat in the future.
But others didn't believe it. Luckily, he had planted an acre of land back then, otherwise his whole family would have starved to death.
The elderly couple, still pondering the matter, saw their two daughters-in-law take out silver ingots from their sleeves.
Da Hua and Er Hua handed their respective half-tael of silver to the old lady, and when they went over, they saw that the old lady's eyes widened immediately.
They've only worked for one day, how could they have so much money?
“Mother, this silver is the little princess’s daily wage for us. She also said that if we continue to work for a month, it will be 15 taels of silver.”
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple gasped in shock.
Even if they didn't eat or drink all year, they couldn't save ten taels of silver.
The little princess is paying way too much; she only pays 15 taels of silver per person per month.
The old woman looked at the silver in her hand with trembling hands.
She really wanted her two daughters-in-law to go, but she also worried about how they would cope if the villagers gossiped about them.
The elderly couple naturally believed in the character of their two daughters-in-law, thinking they were honest people who would never do something like having affairs.
But what good would it do them? The gossip and whispers in the village would drown them both.
The old man seemed to have thought of this as well, sighed, and sat down to smoke his pipe.
Firstly, she is a little princess; to work for a little princess is an immense honor.
But then he thought that if there were gossip in the village, it might sway his two sons' hearts.
What should we do then?
They know perfectly well that it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but running around trying to refute them.
Da Hua simply said, "Mother, our little princess has already said..."
His shop is newly opened, so he's still hiring.
They told us that if the husbands in the family were willing to work, they could come and live with us; they would also have a place to stay.
Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded immediately.
Putting aside how much she adored the little princess, the amount of money she spent was an extraordinary fortune!
Two daughters-in-law would bring in 15 taels of silver, and with two sons, wouldn't that mean a person could bring in 60 taels of silver a month?
Wouldn't that mean we could build a house right away?
The old lady and the old man seemed to have the same idea, and they both looked at the house behind them.
The house had long been in disrepair and was in a dilapidated state.
When it rains, it's raining heavily outside, but drizzling inside.
But every time the new grain comes down, after deducting taxes, we still have to keep enough for a year's worth of food before selling it.
The money earned from the sales had to be saved, just in case any of the children in the family got sick.
