Only then was Old Su, the scholar, relieved.
Lying in bed, his biggest worry was his beloved Jiaojiao.
Back then, in order to find a wife for his younger brother, he chose the Lu family, who gave the most dowry. Who knew that the child from that family would be taken to the battlefield on the very night of the wedding.
Going to the battlefield earns five taels of silver, while not going to the battlefield costs 50 taels of silver.
Those things from back then seem as if they happened right before my eyes.
"Then live with Jiaojiao." He knew perfectly well that his daughter-in-law could no longer take care of him.
He either dies or goes with the girl.
"Father, wait a moment, I'll go and get the mule cart. Your daughter has a cart," Su Jiaoniang said, walking outside.
The mule cart was parked next to the hot pot restaurant. The old scholar looked sick for many years, probably because the doctor he saw was not good enough, or maybe his family was too poor to afford medicine. He definitely needed to take good care of himself.

He took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and placed it in Su Li's hand: "Live well. I'll stay in Sweetwater Village and take the kids there to play when I have time."
"Sister, I don't want to! I have a job in the county town, I can support my family!"
"Who gave it to you? It's a gift for my nephew. It wasn't simple today, but his aunt hasn't forgotten him," Su Jiaoniang said with a smile, even though she didn't see the child in the courtyard.
But the clothes drying in the yard belonged to children, and she thought Su Li must have children.
Life is so hard, but the old scholar has no bedsores, which means he must be well taken care of.
