Xiaofu's wife, she's cute and tough

Chapter 82 The pension is back

Today's work is over, it's not too late, Li Gui and the others haven't come yet, and a few people have closed the stall and went over to see it.

Li Gui was putting food at the meeting, and one hand was a little inconvenient. Li Jin wanted to help, but he was afraid that he would not let him.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng strode over, picked up a bag and entered the shop.

Liu Zhi also followed. Just as he was about to mention it, Yu Sheng turned his head to look at her, "Don't mention it, you will be stunned." He went in after saying that.

Liu Zhi knew that he felt sorry for her, but he had done more work than her, and he was definitely more tired, so she still carried it in.

Yu Sheng's face tightened when he saw it, then he raised his hand and took it down, saying in a low voice, "Don't carry it, your waist will hurt."

"It's alright, I don't have the pain anymore, let's get it back sooner." Liu Zhi reassured.

Yu Sheng stared at her for a while, and finally said seriously: "If you carry it again, I will carry you back to the carriage in front of them."

Liu Zhi was stunned, and then unnaturally "coughed", seeing that the man didn't seem to be telling a lie, she didn't take it anymore.

Not much, just seven or eight bags, and they were carried back in no time.

Li Gui gasped and said: "Go to the inn to have dinner and then go back. It will be late when you go back, and it is not easy to cook."

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and nodded.

After closing the shop, a group of people went to Yu Sheng's usual prey shop for dinner, ordered four dishes, served five dishes, and the shopkeeper gave them a meat dish.

When Li Gui was checking out, the shopkeeper looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Have you been hunting recently? Several people in the shop want to eat rabbit meat."

"Tomorrow I will go up the mountain to see, it may be after the hour." Yu Sheng nodded.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was a little overjoyed, "That's right, right, I've always heard that you guys are selling pancakes, I haven't had time to come over to cheer, so leave me ten tomorrow." After that, he counted thirty papers to Yu Sheng.

He helped Yu Sheng a lot, Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "No need, I'll bring it to the shopkeeper tomorrow."

"That's okay, you have to keep it. It's a small business. You don't need money here, and where you don't need money, how can you do it."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, and a group of people rushed back.

Seeing Yu Sheng holding the bow, arrow and water, Liu Zhi knew that he was going up the mountain in the dark, "I'll go with you."

"No, go to sleep."

Yu Sheng saw that the living basin in the house hadn't risen yet, so he went to the kitchen again and lit the fire, "Open the windows, otherwise the house will be stuffy."

"I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Liu Zhi looked at him seriously, "Are you mad at me?"

She didn't want to be angry with Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng didn't hesitate at all, shook his head, then sighed, bent down and kissed her, "No, don't go up the mountain if your back hurts."

"I see if I can catch live rabbits this time, and then find a place to raise them. When there are more babies, I don't have to go hunting in the mountains."

He has been thinking about these issues. In the past, he was short of money, and he had to send rabbits to replace them. Now that the money is not so tight, he plans to raise rabbits and pheasants.

At least he wanted to guarantee Liu Zhi's future.

Hearing this, Liu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, reached out and took his hand, "Then I'll go with you."

Yu Sheng saw the warmth in his hand, he was silent for a while, then nodded, "Put on one more piece of clothes, it's cold in the mountains." After that, he went to get her clothes to wear.

The two waited for Xu Hua and Yu He to close the door from the inside before carrying the oil lamps up the mountain. The two shadows sometimes elongated, sometimes shortened, and sometimes overlapped.

The temperature in the mountains in the dark night was much lower than that at the foot of the mountain. After a while, the hands of the two of them froze, but neither of them let go.

The woman's firm voice said, "I will try my best to protect myself, Yu Sheng, I promise you that in the face of all dangers, I will protect myself as soon as possible, and I will not ignore it."

She paused, "Maybe you won't believe it, I thought about living in the village with you in the future, whether it's hunting or farming, I'm willing."

"If you don't want to stay in the village all the time, I'll follow you wherever you go. In short, I won't leave you."

She didn't make those assumptions that if Yu Sheng changed his mind, she believed him and wouldn't go back and make these assumptions.

Yu Sheng was moved, and said in a low voice, "Anywhere is fine, as long as there is you."

Liu Zhi clenched him tightly and said earnestly, "Don't take the medicine to avoid the child, you will be born."

"I'm a little curious about what my child looks like."

Yu Sheng was silent for a while, "Okay."

The next moment, the two looked at each other and smiled, adding some warmth to the dark night.

At night, they can't see the prey and can only rely on hearing, which is a little troublesome, but the two of them are lucky enough to catch two, but they have been shot to death.

Nothing was found later, only when it was dawn, the two hunted wild pigeons.

When going down the mountain, Liu Zhi yawned, "I'll go to the market later to see if there are live rabbits to buy, and if there is one, I'll buy it."

"Rabbits have a lot of babies, and they multiply quickly. By then, the parents will have something to do at home, otherwise they will be idle and uncomfortable."

Yu Sheng glanced at her, then bent down and squatted down, "Let's sleep with me."

Liu Zhi knew that it was useless to say it, so she did not refuse, lying on his back, leaning on his shoulders and closing his eyes, originally just wanted to rest, but fell asleep directly.

When she woke up, she and Xu Hua were the only ones left at home. Looking up at the time, it was already over, and it was almost time to make a meal and deliver it.

Thinking of this, she went to the kitchen to look at the dishes. There was no meat at home, only the bacon for the New Year, and she didn't want to go to the village to buy meat.

I cut half a piece of bacon down.

Xu Hua helped with the dishes and glanced at Liu Zhi who was busy, "Zhi'er, did you and Sheng'er quarrel?"

She was worried that Liu Zhi knew that they were not Yu Sheng's biological parents and thought they were a burden.

Liu Zhi shook her head and said, "No."

Seeing that Xu Hua hesitated to speak, she said bluntly, "Mother, just say what you have."

Hearing this, Xu Hua sighed and said directly: "Sheng'er should have told you that we are not his biological parents."

"Don't quarrel with Sheng Erxin over this, we can..."

Liu Zhi understood what she meant, and interrupted her directly, "Mother, you think too much, no matter if you are Xianggong's parents or not, you are our parents, how you lived before, how you live now."

"Don't feel like you are a burden. If it weren't for you, Xiang Gong would have no idea where he is, and he might be even more annoyed than now."

"You don't need to be burdened by this matter, or he knows that he will not feel well."

Having said this, she paused, "Our family can live a good life."

Xu Hua's tears couldn't stop falling, Liu Zhi washed her hands and came over to help her straighten her back, "Mother, let's get some food quickly and send it to them."

Xu Hua quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then continued to manage the dishes.

After the two finished their meals, they made a donkey cart and drove to the town. It would be just noon, but there were still one or two people in front of the shop.

Zhou Sunshi never saw her coming, but when he saw her coming, he laughed and said, "Is it delivered by the food I made at home?"

Liu Zhi nodded, "Let's eat together."

I made a few more today and enough for a few more people.

Zhou Sun was embarrassed to follow him to eat, so he quickly waved his hand, "No, you can go eat now, your business is better than yours today, and I will come to sit for a while when you are free."

Knowing that she was going to talk about learning how to make pancakes, Liu Zhi nodded, "Okay."

Then he brought the food into the shop, and the next moment he met Yu Sheng's gaze, "How much is left unfinished."

"That's all." Yu Sheng's brows and eyes were soft.

Liu Zhi went to wipe the table, then put the food out, and suddenly saw the little rabbit covered with a basket at the innermost, "Have you bought it?"

"Well, I went a little late. I only bought a litter of young, three females and two males."

When Yu Sheng saw that the cake was almost done, he picked it up and put it in the dustpan. Yu He hurriedly packed it for the two people at the door.

When no one was there, the family of four sat down to eat, the meat was a little stunned, Yu Sheng warmed up a bit, and the aroma came out immediately.

Yu Sheng glanced at Liu Zhi and said in a low voice, "The craftsmanship has improved."

Liu Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knew that the craftsmanship had improved even if she didn't even eat it, but it was really okay to fry it.

There was no last meal left.

Seeing that they were no longer busy, Zhou Sun brought Butcher Zhou over. She smiled and said, "We won't sell off, I want my daughter to learn." After speaking, she took a bag of silver to Liu Zhi.

"You count."

Liu Zhi believed that they were people, and she didn't count them, "Just come over tomorrow."

Zhou Sun smiled even more cheerfully, "Okay, come over early tomorrow morning."

"By the way, how much pension did you get back then? People in the town asked from house to house, saying that the pension was only five taels the year before, and it was embezzled by that female general."

Liu Zhi didn't feel anything, but was rather happy. After checking it, it seemed that she got it back, "Okay."

"Tell Liu Zhi, don't miss it." Zhou Sun's family was either greedy for this little money, or he regarded Liu Zhi as his own family, so he couldn't help but care.

Liu Zhi nodded, "Okay."

It didn't take long for someone to ask about their shop and register Yu Sheng's information. Liu Zhi was relieved when she saw that there were many people in the book.

Waiting for someone to have it, she said to Yu Sheng: "The money should be down in the next few days."

Yu Sheng nodded, "Yes."

Yu He was a little happy, "Sheng'er, you can get your pension back, what a good official."

Yu Sheng was worried that he would later say that the female general was corrupt, so he changed the subject, "Father, help me set a fire."

"Okay." Yu He responded quickly.

……

village
It was a little early to go back today, so Yu Sheng made a rabbit nest in the yard to prevent them from digging holes and running away, and Liu Zhi followed along to help.

Not long after, Li Gui brought a fish. He looked at Yu Sheng, "The town is asking, do you remember?"

"Remember." Yu Sheng nodded, then took the fish he handed over.

Hearing this, Li Gui didn't say anything, turned around and went back.

Liu Zhi suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "Maybe we won't get 100 taels of silver, we still need to work harder."

She tried her best to win some for these soldiers.

Yu Sheng understood what she meant, "I will go to the teahouse tomorrow. There are many people in the teahouse, and they will spread the word soon."

Liu Zhi nodded.

……

At that time, the government gave a pension of 100 taels, and I don't know where it was passed on. 100 taels of silver is not a small amount.

The magistrate made a statement overnight, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. Back then, many people still got 100 taels of silver, that is, those officials' children.

I found out that this was not a rumour.

Immediately, I felt that the things inside were not that simple. The pension was 30 taels back then, but now 100 taels of silver came out.

If the female general wanted to be greedy for money, how could she give these people 100 taels of silver.

Unless the silver is not greedy for the female general...

Whether this is something that he, the magistrate, can decide. He can only hand over the situation to the above, and the above quickly responded, paying a pension of 100 taels.

Suddenly he had some guesses in his heart...

It has been five days since the pension was received. Xu Hua and Yu He were very happy, and Liu Zhi was also very happy. Looking at Yu Sheng, he said, "I feel more at ease."

Yu Sheng handed the silver to her, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Well."

The pension is 100 taels of silver. When Zhou Sun knew it, she was a little worried, worried that Liu Zhi would look down on her daughter.

After all, it is not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law for 100 taels of silver.

But he didn't know how to ask Liu Zhi.

Zhou Li and Liu Zhi met from time to time these days. When the shop was about to be closed, Liu Zhi brought two packets of pastries, one for Liu Zhi and one for Zhou Li, who was learning cakes.

Zhou Li accepted it generously, then glanced at him, still couldn't help being shy, she asked, "Aren't you busy today?"

"Busy, I'll be leaving soon."

Liu Zhi pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "The pension has come down, and I have the money to get married. Can I hire a matchmaker?"

This means dear.

Suddenly Zhou Li blushed, "I'll go back and ask my mother."

Soon she said again: "I'll ask now, you wait for me."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the next door, and soon came over with Zhou Sun, who was laughing from ear to ear.

Zhou Sun looked at Liu Zhi with satisfaction, "You and Li'er are both interesting, and we won't stop them. The matchmaker can just invite anyone, and we don't want anything like betrothal gifts, so just give two taels of silver."

After speaking, seeing Liu Zhi shaking her head, her complexion changed suddenly. Could it be that she thought that two taels of silver were too much?

Soon I heard Liu Zhi seriously say: "There are all the dowry gifts that should be given. The house at home needs to be replaced with a bigger one. There may only be 50 taels of silver left. I will make all these dowry gifts."

Immediately, Mrs. Zhou Sun was stunned. Although she didn't want her daughter's dowry, Liu Zhi still surprised him when he said this. After all, 50 taels of silver is not a small sum.

Liu Zhi said again: "Auntie, don't worry that I don't have any money in my hand. My eldest brother's shop has my share, so it's no problem to support two people."

Zhou Sun knew that Liu Zhi was reliable, but he didn't expect it to be so reliable. Not to mention what would happen in the future, now his heart is beyond the reach of others.

She said with satisfaction: "The dowry is still as I said. If you think it's less, just buy some chickens and ducks. As long as you treat Li'er well, I'll be satisfied."

She paused for a moment, looked at Liu Zhi, and then said, "I would like to invite Zhi'er to come with the matchmaker. If it weren't for her, our two families would have no fate."
