Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 61

A group of people went there full of suspicion and returned with a lot of rewards.

"My God, how did you do it, what kind of grass is this, is there anything special about it?"

Xie Liang really didn't expect such a miraculous thing to happen.

Jin Meiyu counted the silver and was in a good mood.

"Nothing special, just a handful of grass."

"How is that possible."

"You saw it too, that's what I did."

Xie Liang looked at Jin Meiyu for a while, and really couldn't think of other reasons, but this method is indeed a bit unreliable.

But looking at the fish he caught, he didn't continue to ask.

Let's take a look, go back and try, if this kind of fish really eats this set.

Seeing the big fish he caught, Xie Liang was in a great mood.

Jin Meiyu put away the silver and saw that Xie Liang was very happy, so she asked.

"How does the fish taste?"

Xie Liang grinned.

"We are so lucky to eat such expensive fish, which is something only rich people can afford."

Jin Meiyu thought about it and nodded.

So, they sold the last fish.

Jin Meiyu didn't ask how much they sold for, after all, they had already sold both money and goods, and it was very rare for her to make such a fortune today.

Xie Liang didn't say much, after catching a big fish, he beckoned people to leave quickly.

After all, this fish can't stay out of the water for too long, they have to hurry up!

But before leaving, Xie Liang thought about it and reminded Jin Meiyu.

"Little girl, listen to my advice, go back and store more food, don't make a fuss."

"What?"

Xie Liang smiled, looked at the sky, and talked to Jin Meiyu.

"We have many rivers and lakes here, and it often starts to rain in March and April, and the rainy season lasts for five or six months."

Xie Liang didn't say anything, but left with someone.

Jin Meiyu thought for a while, then turned to ask Jin Mangu.

"Mangu, what month is it now?"

"Lixia has just passed, and I haven't arrived at Xiaoman yet."

In other words, it should be mid to late April now.

"Mangu, when did it rain lightly in previous years?"

Jin Mangu recalled and said.

"It should have been off earlier. It's fine now, no need to get wet."

Jin Meiyu touched the silver in her bosom, thought about it, and finally decided to listen to Xie Liang.

"Mangu, you can go find your father and ask him to buy some food."

This time Jin Meiyu took out half of the silver taels earned today and gave it to Jin Mangu. Jin Mangu held the silver with a bit confused look in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, why do you need so much food? It's not easy to sell so much food."

"Just go and find your father."

Jin Mangu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

Just because he didn't ask, it didn't mean that Jin Liangshun didn't ask.

Just after dinner in the evening, Boss Jin actually came back.

Mrs. Jin was cleaning up the dishes, and when she saw Mrs. Jin coming back, she was very happy.

"Why did you come back? You came back alone? How long have you lived at home?"

Mrs. Jin went up to greet him, and looked at Brother Jin carefully, and confirmed that he was in good condition, not thin or dark, as if he had endured hardship.

Brother Jin, who was cared about, was also very happy, showing his big white teeth.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I've brought you a gift, take a look."

Brother Jin brought a small bundle when he came back, and now he gave the bundle directly to Sister Jin. When Sister Jin heard that there was a gift, she was even happier.

"Oh, why spend that unjust money."

Hugging the little bundle, Mrs. Jin hurried to the kitchen.

"You must be hungry when you come back from such a long distance. I'll warm it up for you and have a good bite."

Brother Jin watched Sister Jin enter the kitchen, then patted the ashes off his body and entered the main room.

Jin Meiyu was smiling with her chin propped up, and being teased by her sister, Brother Jin also acted calmly. After sitting down on the stool, he took out a small bag from his arms and gave it to Jin Meiyu.

"Look, big brother hasn't forgotten you."

I took the small bag and opened it, and there was a small silver bracelet wrapped in it.

The small silver bracelet is made of silver bars, without any carvings, it looks shiny and beautiful, and Jin Meiyu really likes it.

"Thank you, brother."

Brother Jin was happy, turned to see his son, thought for a while, touched his body, and came out with three copper coins, which he gave to Jin Mangu.

"Here you are, listen carefully to your sister-in-law."

Although there is no silver bracelet, it is good to have three copper plates.

Jin Mangu was also very happy, took three copper coins, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay dad, I will definitely obey my sister-in-law obediently."

Brother Jin nodded and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's go out and play."

It's getting dark today, where are we going to play?

Jin Mangu didn't refute his father, and went back to the house with the coins.

After Jin Mangu left, Brother Jin asked Jin Meiyu.

"Meiyu, what do you need so much food for?"

Jin Meiyu was admiring the silver bracelet in her hand, and when she heard it, she told her what Xie Liang said.

Brother Jin and Jin Mangu had similar reactions.

"What's the matter, it's good if it doesn't rain."

Jin Meiyu glanced at Big Brother Jin, thought for a while, and moved closer to talk.

"I don't know what's wrong with this, but there must be monsters when things go wrong, and there is no harm in being cautious."

"Meiyu, do you know how much grain you can exchange your silver taels for?"

Jin Meiyu nodded.

"I know."

"You know, that's enough to feed the whole village for a year. So much food, it's hard to hide it when you buy it back."

"Brother, although it's more troublesome to store food, it's much better than if something really happened and you won't be able to find anything to eat."

"What could happen? Could there be a severe drought here?"

Brother Jin didn't care.

After all, this side has a special geographical location, with many lakes and rivers, and the water resources are particularly rich. The whole country is dry, and their side may not be dry.

Therefore, many people are very lucky that there has been no rain for such a long time. After all, it rains all the time, and it doesn't feel good. No one would think about drought.

"You don't care what happens to it, it's better to take precautions before it happens. Besides, I got the silver from selling fish, so it's not a difficult thing, even the fish is caught by someone else. If the money is spent, even if I don’t feel sorry for wasting money.”

"Tsk, Meiyu is so rich and powerful. Then, big brother, I recently met a beloved object. If you can support me, Meiyu, I will definitely do a good job for you."

"how much is it?"

Brother Jin made a gesture of six.

"60 taels."

Jin Meiyu thought for a while, then nodded.

"Success, brother, wait."

After saying that, he went back to the house to get money for Brother Jin.

Brother Jin was worried after the accident. He didn't expect that Jin Meiyu would give him money so readily. It was 60 taels. He said it just as a joke.

Jin Meiyu came back quickly, 60 taels of silver, all ingots of big ingots, carried in a cloth bag, very heavy.

When Brother Jin saw the silver ingot, he was more or less unable to resist the temptation of money, but he was a little embarrassed to take his sister's silver.

Jin Meiyu didn't think too much about it, so she pushed the money and talked to Brother Jin.

"Take it and spend it. This is the money I got for fishing, and I might have more in the future."

"Is this how much money you make from fishing now? Meiyu, what kind of fish did you catch? A small goldfish?"

"Sturgeon, a particularly large fish, can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver when transported outside."

"What kind of fish is hundreds of taels, stealing money."

Jin Meiyu told her about her selling fish and what Xie Liang said.

Brother Jin stroked his chin after hearing this, and his expression became more serious.

"You mean, someone from the garrison came to our village to collect grain, and they came many times."

Jin Meiyu nodded.

"Yes, I've sold them eggs many times."

Brother Jin took a deep, deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

"So it is, so it is..."

"Why is that so?"

Brother Jin waved his hand to Jin Meiyu with a smile, without saying anything, he stood up, wiped the silver on the table with his big hand, grabbed it in his hand, and walked out.

"Brother, thank you for the money, and I will definitely return it to you later. I won't stay at home today, I'll go back first."

Jin Meiyu was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, Mrs. Jin poked her head out from the kitchen when she heard the movement, saw Brother Jin walking out, and hurriedly asked.

"You want to go, don't you stay at home for a night?"

"No, Dad has something else to do, so I won't eat at home."

Brother Jin was about to cross the threshold, so Mrs. Jin turned her head and came out of the kitchen, took four boiled eggs in her hand, and stuffed them to Brother Jin.

"Then you take this and eat it on the road. It's safe."

Brother Jin seemed to be in a hurry. He grabbed the egg and said nothing, walking quickly.

Mrs. Jin stood at the gate, holding on to the door and watching Brother Jin leave. After a long while, she came back lazily.

Jin Meiyu looked at Mrs. Jin at the gate and thought she was in a bad mood. She thought about it and said.

"Sister-in-law, are my clothes ready?"

Mrs. Jin came back to her senses, wiped her hands, and responded.

"Come on, just a few more stitches."

Jin Meiyu nodded and said again.

"I heard that your family has been a little unhappy because of some things recently."

More than unpleasant, it was quite unpleasant.

All in all, the reason is money.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Jin is a little embarrassing.

They are all from the same village, and as long as there is any noise, basically the whole village will know about it.

Mrs. Jin's family is poor, so she is really poor.

Now the family has not yet been separated, and all married wives have entered the house. The original family has also become several small families.

No, two days ago, because the second elder secretly took an egg for his sick granddaughter, the family started to make trouble again.

This time the disturbance was fierce, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was the daughters-in-law who were clamoring for a separation.

Mrs. Jin is very worried. Does she have any opinion on whether to separate the family or not? She is a married woman, and it has nothing to do with her whether the family is separated or not.

But when she was at home, the two elders were very kind to her, and when the daughter-in-law broke up, she was also worried about the two elders at home.

Fortunately, it was so close that she could go back and have a look every day. The boiled eggs for her little granddaughter were brought by her to nourish her second elder brother's body!
"I have saved a lot of eggs at home. Take some back and have a look. It's also good to accompany the elders. After all, your parents are still helping to look after the children."
