Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 80

After talking for a long time, Jin Meiyu just didn't let go.

The fish belonged to her, and it was impossible to take the fish back and store it as food reserves, and to prostitute the fish meat from her for nothing!
So much fish, marinated, can be eaten for a long time.

Regardless of whether there will be a drought in the future, she will not let these fish out.

Xie Hao wanted to roll up his sleeves several times, but every time, Granny Jin's slightly cold eyes could calm him down.

In the end, Xie Liang sent Jin Meiyu to the entrance of Zhaojiacun, but Jin Meiyu didn't let go.

There was no way, Xie Liang, who had only completed half of the errand, went back in despair, thinking about how to tell his boss after returning, and walked absent-mindedly along the way.

It was Jin Meiyu, who didn't remember to buy salt until she returned to the village!

With so many fish, the salt needed to process it is also huge, which cannot be solved by those stored at home.

"Oops, I forgot to buy salt when I came back!"

Grandma Jin was very calm.

"Don't worry, there are salt warehouses on the mountain."

"Salt warehouse?"

"Yes, I have reserved some table salt."

"Where is it? Why haven't I seen it? Are there many?"

"Yes, there are many, enough to marinate these fish."

In this way, Jin Meiyu felt relieved.

At this moment, Jin Meiyu still doesn't know how strict the imperial court is on salt. Each person can buy a limited amount of salt each year, and the price of salt sold by the imperial court is also very expensive. One tael of salt costs two coins. Money, if you want to buy salt in a salt warehouse, it is not only a matter of qualifications, but also the salt is a great wealth.

Jin Meiyu didn't know what these salts represented at the moment, she just breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about it, took out the 50 tael silver note from her arms, and handed it to Granny Jin.

"I can't take this salt for nothing, you take the money, and I will buy it all."

"You don't need to pay, the salt belongs to your father."

"No, no, my brother will settle the account clearly. If you only need one or two handfuls of salt, it's fine. So many fish, salting them all must cost a lot of money."

Jin Meiyu gave the silver ticket to Granny Jin, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and she was about to walk into the village.

She is going to see what she has harvested today. With so many fish, it must be spectacular to pile them up. The villagers must also gather there to see them. With so many fish, it is not impossible for the family to share a little bit, but the big head must be Marinate and store well.

More than half of the year has passed, and there have only been a few drizzles. Drought and reduced production are inevitable. These fish must be stored as reserve grains. Even if the old village chief asks for fish, she can't give it!
Of course, families with children in the village can share more and make fish sticks for them to eat as snacks. The children in the village are still too thin, so they should supplement more, so that they can grow taller quickly and grow stronger in the future!

Jin Meiyu was having fun, but her way forward was blocked by Granny Jin.

"You can't go back to the village yet."

Jin Meiyu blinked her big eyes, and then remembered that she should still be in the city, living with her father!

"Oh no, my fish!" But after thinking about it, she said again. "It's okay, for the sake of the fish, it's why I came back."

Speaking of Jin Meiyu, she wanted to go to the village again, but was stopped by Granny Jin again.

Granny Jin bowed slightly, her eyes fixed on the ground, her tone was very sincere.

"You can't go back yet, the fish have all been transported to the mountains."

"What? It was transported to the mountain? Why wasn't it transported to the village?"

Grandma Jin didn't answer, but Jin Meiyu thought for a while and said again.

"Then send some back to the village, and let the villagers try something new."

Grandma Jin still didn't answer, Jin Meiyu pouted, and finally said her ultimate goal
"Then it should be fine to send it home for my mother to eat. I'm not at home these days, and my mother must have lost weight again!"

Daddy wants mother to suffer, and she has no choice but to deny mother food. After all, everything in the house has been 'taken' by daddy.If she took out something out of thin air for her mother to eat, then she would not listen to her father.

Although her father loves her very much, Jin Meiyu, who has read and understood, is still unwilling to go against her father's wishes.

If it's impossible to go hunting in the mountains and feed the food from the mountains to my mother, then the fish she got this time must be fine!

She didn't go hunting on purpose, it was Xie Liang who begged him here with money, and he went there by himself. All the fish and meat were gifts from this trip. She brought them to her mother to eat, so there must be no problem!

But who would have thought that those fish were not sent to the village, but directly to the mountain!
Jin Meiyu was a little angry, it was completely different from what she thought!
Sensing Jin Meiyu's anger, Grandma Jin explained slowly, calmly.

"You should listen to your father, your mother, you need to understand something."

"What's the reason? What reason can't be said, you have to make people hungry??!"

Granny Jin straightened up slightly, her eyes fell on the very unhappy Jin Meiyu's face, she swept it away, and then lowered everything again.

"Your mother did something wrong."

"I know that mother shouldn't use all the money in the family to repay the debts of grandma and grandpa." Jin Meiyu understands this truth.It is wrong to be generous to others. Although she sympathizes with the children in the village and feels heartbroken for the children who die every year, what she gives to those children is all earned by her.

Although her things are also shared by the family, her father said that what she did was right and she could do so, so she was allowed to make up for those children.

But what my mother did was to force my father to use the things in the house to repay the debts of my grandparents, which made people feel uncomfortable.

She knew it was wrong for her mother to do this, but she just had to talk to her about this kind of thing, why did she have to make her hungry?

Jin Meiyu is still young, but it doesn't mean she really doesn't understand anything.

Since she can remember, she has participated in many funerals, either for the elderly and children who were starved to death, or for women who died of dystocia.

It may also be because of this that she is always kind to children and women after childbirth.

At the same time, she also knows that starvation can really kill people!

Granny Jin sighed in her heart, but she still told her.

"Jin Zhao made a mistake, so she has to bear the consequences of her mistake."

"The consequence is starvation??"

"Yes, the consequence is starvation. That's all the properties of the Jin family on the surface, and those are the only properties that the Jin Zhao family can see. That is to say, in the knowledge of the Jin Zhao family, those are the properties owned by the Jin family. As the wife in charge, she forced her husband to empty the house to mend the hole in her mother's house, and Jin Liangshun did so, so she would have to bear the burden of the house being empty and the debts piled up."

Jin Meiyu was not convinced.

"But, but daddy..."

"Jin Liangshun is not short of money. In fact, it's only 500 taels of silver. If it's twice as much, he can afford it. However, what Jin Zhao can see is only that."

Jin Meiyu didn't understand and was still very angry.

"Is it reasonable for Daddy to hide money from mother?"

The corners of Granny Jin's mouth moved, a little wanting to laugh, but she didn't move, she just softened her eyebrows and eyes.

"There is a reason for Jin Liangshun to hide the relatives of the Jin Zhao family. Although it is wrong to hide the truth from the Jin Zhao family, Jin Liangshun did not treat the Jin Zhao family badly. The Jin Zhao family is a country woman who married Jin Liangshun and was married to Jin Liangshun. According to Shun, with scheming, eating, drinking, and clothing, Jin Liangshun did not treat the Jin Zhao family badly. But the Jin Zhao family, hollowing out Jin Liangshun's house like this is a big taboo."

"It's Jin Zhao's fault. It's not that she shouldn't help her natal family. In the situation at that time, if Jin Zhao didn't take action, Jin Zhao's parents would have died of illness in the end. She wanted to keep her parents. There is no problem, Baishan filial piety is the first, Jin Zhao is a filial daughter. However, her fault is that she has married a woman, is the mother of three children, and the grandmother of six children. She should not ignore it. She didn't even say hello, didn't discuss with her husband, and directly forced the palace."

Jin Meiyu pursed her lips and stopped talking.

With that said, she also understood.

She thought about it and asked Granny Jin.

"Is Daddy rich?"

"It's only 500 taels, it's still worth it."

"Then mother, if I discuss it with my father..."

"Jin Liangshun is not an ungrateful person. 500 taels is not a lot of money for Jin Liangshun, and it is easy to take out. As long as the Jin Zhao family and Jin Liangshun discuss it, Jin Liangshun will be willing to pay this money. But we need to find a plausible reason.”

Having said that, Jin Meiyu was a little discouraged.

In this way, it seems that the mother is really wrong.

However, Jin Meiyu still muttered unwillingly.

"That doesn't make people hungry."

Granny Jin continued to speak as if she didn't hear Jin Meiyu's muttering.

"The reason why Jin Zhao did this was because she didn't trust Jin Liangshun to spend such a large amount of money. She did everything and pushed Jin Liangshun to a dead end in order to make Jin Liangshun pay for it. Jin Liangshun taught all of Jin Zhao's tricks, and in front of Jin Liangshun, Jin Zhao's shallowness is like a layer of water at the bottom of the plate, how could he not understand?"

"Jin Liangshun did this to let her understand more intuitively and deeply what the consequences would be after she emptied the Jin family. The children were divorced, the husband and wife were at odds, life was hard, and people ostracized them with blank eyes. Since Jin Zhaoshi married Jin Liangshun, she has never experienced hardships, and she has forgotten what kind of life she used to live. She stayed in the village, but lived the life of the ladies in the city, except that there were no maids and servants to serve her. , the ladies in the city are just like that.”

In the eyes of Granny Jin, Jin Zhao is just a village girl from the countryside. She lived a happy life in Jin's family and was so happy that she didn't know how many catties her bones weighed!
For a woman like this, in the Jin family, even a concubine would despise her flawed appearance, let alone the wife of the family.

If such a woman is not taught, she will definitely be the source of prodigal family in the future!

Jin Meiyu was still not very happy, but Granny Jin's words still persuaded her.

She thought about it, and thought it was okay to wait, but there was a time limit for waiting.

"Then when can I deliver food to my mother?"

"Don't worry, your father won't really starve your mother, it's just that he can't eat well. Now the vegetation is lush and there are a lot of wild vegetables. If your mother is willing, you can go outside and dig some wild vegetables to make ends meet."

This is nonsense.

Wild vegetables are not mushrooms after the rain, they can grow a lot in one day, and they will grow extremely lush

Wild vegetables are also one of the rations of the villagers. The nearby wild vegetables have been dug up long ago. If you want to find edible wild vegetables, you have to go farther, and the harvest may not be very good.

Even on the sparsely populated mountains, there may be some wild vegetables that have not been eaten by herbivores, but if you only rely on wild vegetables to fill your stomach, you will starve to death one day.

But it's okay to fool Jin Meiyu with these words.

After all, every time she wants to eat wild vegetables, she can always find them if she looks for them.

So she doesn't have the concept that wild vegetables take time to grow, and may be poached by others.

In this way, Jin Meiyu was appeased, but she still wanted a time limit.

"How long will it take? How long will the punishment be over?"

Jin Meiyu looked at Granny Jin persistently, as if she was going to make trouble if Granny Jin didn't give her an answer today.

Granny Jin thought for a while, but in the end she still didn't give a definite answer.

"It depends on Jin Zhao. If she can think clearly, and deeply understand her mistakes, and promise not to make the same mistakes again, she will soon be able to return to her original life." If she can't understand If he realizes his mistake, still feels that he is right, and still bears it to death, then this punishment may really be endless until Jin Zhao's illness dies.

After all, it is impossible for the Jin family to want a daughter-in-law who can ruin the Jin family. Even if Jin Liangshun wanted to keep him, the mistress of the Jin family would not tolerate her.

Jin Meiyu puffed her face, rolled her eyes, and didn't know what she thought of. She didn't pursue this matter, and went back to the mountain angrily.

Jin Meiyu and Grandma Jin walked the mountain on the secret road, and when they arrived on the mountain, the fish and meat were indeed in the yard, and they had been processed, marinated, and hung up to blow the air.

The amount of fish meat this time was really too much, and each fish meat was long and thick. Even so, the yard of Jin's house was full of them.

Jin Meiyu looked at the sky, it was still early, she looked at the pile of fish in the yard, and finally asked Granny Jin.

"Have you finished eating the deer at home? If you haven't finished eating, bring one, I'm going out!"

Granny Jin had no objection, and went to carry a deer out.

Jin Meiyu took a look and found that this deer was not the three male deer she had shot before.

"Where did this deer come from?"

"There was an extra herd of deer on the mountain, and the hunters caught some and kept them in a pen not far away."

Jin Meiyu was curious, but it was getting late now, so she had to hurry back.

"That's it, we'll make up for them later, take this deer first, let's go!"

Granny Jin had no objection, and followed behind Jin Meiyu, carrying a stag weighing three to four hundred catties, her footsteps were flying, silently.

Jin Meiyu tried her best to identify the direction, recalling the route she had been to, and rampaging in the mountains.

What is worth mentioning here is that Jin Meiyu was walking ahead when there was some commotion in the grass. She looked over and saw that Xiao Liu had come out of the grass with a circle of blood on his mouth. Excitedly rushing towards Jin Meiyu.

Xiao Liu was very happy to see Jin Meiyu, but he was very measured. He didn't jump on Jin Meiyu, but after running a certain distance, he sat down obediently, but his front legs were still out of control Every move, very excited look.

Jin Meiyu didn't expect to meet Xiaoliu outside.

Xiao Liu doesn't like to eat food at home, he only likes to eat raw meat, bones or dried meat.

So Xiao Liu's food, three meals a day, are all taken care of by itself. Today, Jin Meiyu ran into a scene where Xiao Liu was hunting outside.

Jin Meiyu reached out to touch Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu stretched out her head to sniff and kiss Jin Meiyu forcefully, but after one or two times, Grandma Jin spoke out in dissatisfaction.

"It's called Xiaoliu, right?"

Jin Meiyu nodded.

"Yes, I took the name. I got the egg from the old beggar in exchange. The old beggar said that Xiao Liu was the wolf cub he picked up."

"This kind of wolf can grow very big in the future. It should be trained well. It has traces of being trained, but obviously, the training is not very thorough."

Jin Meiyu didn't understand.

"Xiao Liu is very obedient and very human, which is very good."

Granny Jin pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Liu with increasingly dissatisfied eyes.

"When the master is stroking, how can he move around. It must be that the trainer has not trained well, but don't worry, there are some hunters who can train. After a few days, send it to train for a period of time. When the time comes Definitely more useful than it is now."

Jin Meiyu was reluctant.

"No need, Xiao Liu is very good."

"Don't worry, Orion is on the mountain, you can still see it."

Jin Meiyu patted Xiao Liu's head, she really thought Xiao Liu was very good.

"Actually, Xiao Liu is very obedient, you see. Xiao Liu stood up, turned around, come here, come here, stand up, and clap your hands!"

With Jin Meiyu's mouth cage, Xiao Liu completed the movements she said very well, very smoothly and naturally, and sat there obediently after finishing, nodding her head and waiting for the master's praise.

Jin Meiyu was also very happy, and reached out to stroke its big head again.

But Granny Jin was still not satisfied.

"This wolf species will grow very large in the future, with a shoulder height of more than four feet. It can stand taller than some women, and it can fight bears when slaughtered. Such a wolf species needs to be taught well. In the future, I will not violate the master's order and hurt people."

"Four feet??" Jin Meiyu was stunned. A wolf with a shoulder height of four feet is less than two feet!
"Yes, this kind of wolf can grow to at least four feet, and it is very ferocious. It needs to be domesticated from a young age."

Jin Meiyu touched Xiao Liu's head, still feeling unreal.

but……

"Have Granny Jin seen any other wolves that look like Xiao Liu?"

Granny Jin nodded, paused, and then gave Jin Meiyu and Xiao Liu a meaningful look.

"Indeed, I've seen it, and I've seen it a lot. Now Xiao Liu is just a wolf cub with gray-white fur. When it grows up, it will shed its fur and turn black and white."

"Black and White?"

"Yes, black and white."
