Abandoned Wife Headed Home: Bringing Fubao to Farming

Chapter 28

Could it be that Brother Chengyuan left it to their mother and child?

should be.

Because Brother Chengyuan was a scholar before his death, I heard that the county government will subsidize the scholars within a county every year.

Whenever there are weddings and funerals in the village, they will come to ask Brother Chengyuan to help write couplets or elegiac couplets. Naturally, it is impossible to invite them empty-handed.

Therefore, this money should be left by Xiao Chengyuan for their mother and son to use.

The couple secretly exchanged glances, and then, Huo Sheng took the two taels of silver and put it into his arms, and made a solemn promise to Shen Yinger: "Fourth sibling, these two taels of silver were borrowed from you by me and your sister-in-law. If you have money on hand, I will definitely pay you back!"

……

It was bright in the sky, and Huo Sheng shouted to come up to Wang, and the two went down the mountain together, heading straight for Tongfu Town.

In the past two days, they ran to the town almost every day, but they came back in vain.

Now they have made up their minds that if they fail again, they will not go back to the mountain. They will guard the rice grain shop and play the floor shop, and rush in as soon as the rice grain shop opens.

They still don't believe in that evil, and if they have money in their pockets, can they still buy food?

"Here is the hot water I boiled. Take it with you to drink on the way. Yinger said, it's best not to drink unboiled water, it's easy to get sick!"

Ximei and Dalan sent them to the entrance of the cave, and Ximei stuffed the small bamboo tube filled with water into Huosheng's hand.

Huo Sheng nodded and said to Xi Mei: "Don't worry, we will bring the food back no matter what happens this time!"

"Haha, don't talk too much, it's not easy to get food at this juncture, you not only have to have money, but also have relationships!"

A discordant voice came from behind.

Huo Sheng and the others looked back, they saw Xiao Laoer's family of four coming over.

The husband and wife are carrying their son on their backs and leading their daughter, with large and small bundles in their arms, and their posture seems to be going down the mountain.

"Zhou Songxia, stop talking bad things!"

Da Lan lowered her face and glared at Zhou Songxia, she didn't have the slightest affection for this woman now.

Zhou Songxia snorted, "Bad luck? You hang out with Shen's plague god nemesis every day, so it's no wonder you can get food!"

Da Lan: "It's up to you!"

Zhou Songxia turned her head to look at Xiao Laoer and the two children beside her, and said proudly: "Of course I can, I have a good aunt, no, send a message asking me to take the children to the town to meet her Let's live together!"

"He eats white rice, chicken, duck and fish as he pleases. As for candied haws, they are not uncommon!"

Da Lan knew that Zhou Songxia was making a fuss about what happened that day, Da Lan was so angry that her face turned green, but she couldn't say anything to refute.

Because Zhou Songxia's natal aunt was the mother-in-law of Dr. Zhou in Xiahe Village.

Doctor Zhou had good medical skills during his lifetime, and people from ten miles and eight villages came to him for medical treatment. He saved some money and bought a house in the town.

When he was alive, his family lived in the village, and when he died, the family moved to live in the town.

This week Songxia has no mother since she was a child, and was raised by his uncle and aunt, so it is reasonable to have close contacts with the Zhou family in the town.

"You drag your family and your mouth to send someone else's rice bowl under the fence, and you have to look at people everywhere. We go around to raise food, but we eat the food in our pockets, so we can eat with peace of mind!"

Shen Ying'er also came from the entrance of the cave at some point, and with a few casual words, she immediately blocked Zhou Songxia's mouth, and at the same time made Xiao Laoer beside her blush.

As a man, he can't get enough food to feed his wife and children, and he has to use his wife's relationship to go to relatives, which is embarrassing.

So, before Zhou Songxia could make a sound, Xiao Laoer grabbed her arm and rushed forward, "Let's go, let's stop the ink!"

Seeing the family of four walking away, Da Lan let out a breath of foul air: "It's better that Ying'er is better than her, we can restrain her in one go."

Shen Ying'er smiled faintly, walked up to Huo Sheng and Lai Wang, and gave them two sweet potatoes.

"Take it for dry food," she said.

Huo Sheng and Lai Wang were not polite, thanked them, collected the sweet potatoes and set off on the journey.

Looking at their backs going away, Ximei put her hands together and murmured: "I beg Bodhisattva to bless them to buy food this trip..."

The three women turned back to the cave, and when they passed the old Xiao's house, they heard the third daughter-in-law, Ma Guizhi, complaining to Xiao Laosan: "Your second brother and second sister-in-law are too dishonest, leave us alone." Everyone ran for their lives! If I knew this, I shouldn’t have come to the cave with us and ate so many days’ rations in vain!”

The youngest Xiao stared at the chicken feathers in the corner, and also gritted his teeth: "Yesterday, the second sister-in-law coaxed our old mother to kill the last big rooster in the house, and ran away after eating the chicken legs, mother Xipi!"

When the three women heard this conversation, they subconsciously exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing.

This old Xiao's house doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.

……

Huosheng and Laiwang did rest in the town that night.

The three women in the cave didn't say anything, but they were sweating coldly.

Until the next morning, Laiwang ran back to the mountain alone in a hurry.

"Why are you alone? Where is Huosheng?"

Ximei had a panicked look on her face, she was afraid that Huosheng would have a dispute with someone outside for grabbing food.

Laiwang said: "Brother Huosheng is still in town, he sent me back to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

The three women will be surrounded in the future.

Laiwang wiped the hot sweat off his brow, and said, "The price of grain in the town has risen again. Indica rice has risen to six hundred and one buckets, and japonica rice has reached this figure!"

Laiwang raised two fingers and gestured.

"Eight hundred?" Ximei covered her mouth in shock.

Da Lan's face turned pale with fright.

Shen Yinger also frowned slightly.

It has all risen to this price, and the silver taels have depreciated again, and the previously planned ones can't be counted.

It’s okay to buy less, as long as you can last for a few days, you can’t completely stop cooking.

But before Laiwang finished speaking, he went on to say: "The price has risen to this level, but it was sold out after an hour before the door opened!"

Now, even Shen Ying'er was a little impatient: "So, you still haven't bought it?"

Laiwang was ashamed, "At that time when the sign was put up, Huosheng and I were frightened. When we both recovered, the rice was gone again..."

Laiwang became more and more ashamed, and dared not speak further.

Now the street of the rice store in the town is going to be messed up.

Not only rice grains, but also other whole grains that can fill the stomach, as long as they are put out, they will be swept away immediately.

Those people are all crazy!
Ximei could not stand still, and was supported by Dalan, leaning on Dalan's shoulder, as if the sky was about to fall.

And Da Lan was also anxious, with tears streaming down her face.

Yesterday, Dalan's side was completely out of cooking. She brought her children over to eat the sweet potato porridge from Shen Yinger's side...

Shen Yinger opened her mouth again: "Brother Laiwang, what does Brother Huosheng mean by sending you back?"

Laiwang said: "Huo Sheng and I have made up our minds. If it doesn't work, we will go to the neighboring town or the county seat to have a look."
