Chapter 5 Making Money
Just at this moment when Mrs. Zhao stepped through the door, Xia Manxing turned pale with fright and said, "Mother, come and take a look."

After hearing what Xia Manxing said, Mrs. Zhao quickly asked, "Mingzhuer, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

Xie Mingzhu, who had rested for a while, regained some strength.

With the support of her sister-in-law Liu Guizhi, she walked slowly into the kitchen, found a clay pot with salt and honey, and mixed a bowl of sugar and salt water for herself to replenish her strength.

"My lady, my lady."

After Xie Mingzhu finished drinking the sugar and salt water, Qin Che hurried in from outside the kitchen, helped Xie Mingzhu's thick arm, and said worriedly: "My lady, have you fainted?"

"I am fine."

As soon as Qin Che came, sister-in-law Liu Guizhi gave Xie Mingzhu to her sister-in-law.

Qin Che helped Xie Mingzhu to the bamboo chair in the courtyard and sat down.

"Miss, shall I go find a doctor for you?"

"No, I'm fine."

Xie Mingzhu didn't expect the original owner to look so fat, but actually so thin.

If you bend over for a long time, you will pass out.

Seeing Qin Che being so considerate to her daughter, Mrs. Zhao was very happy, and she called out to the kitchen.

"Guizhi, come here."

Sister-in-law Liu Guizhi followed Mrs. Zhao into the warehouse, opened the cabinet made of cypress, measured two buckets of wheat from it, and put them in a bamboo back pocket.

"Mom, are you going to pay Aunt Su?"

"Mingzhu fainted and crushed the wheat seedlings in her family." Mrs. Zhao has always liked this eldest daughter-in-law very much. She is kind-hearted and has no intentions. They announced the good news, that Zhu woke up and was fine, and the second is to go to your grandfather's house to get some meat, Mingzhu'er has lost weight during this period of illness, we have to give her a good supplement."

"it is good."

Mrs. Zhao gave Liu Guizhi five copper coins, and said: "Take this money and buy a sesame seed cake in the town. Don't be reluctant to eat it. If you are sick, you have to go to a doctor to see a doctor, and you have to spend money."

"Mom, I'll listen to you."

Liu Guizhi walked out of Xie's courtyard with his back on his back.

After Xia Manxing in the kitchen saw it, she said to Zhu Yeqing, "Sister-in-law, where did sister-in-law go?"

Zhu Yeqing glanced at Xia Manxing, she didn't understand why the second sister-in-law was so curious every day?
"Second sister-in-law, breakfast is almost ready, why don't you ask Erya to ask father-in-law and lords to have breakfast?"

The Xie family has a clear division of labor. The men get up every day when the cock crows, and go to the fields to do farm work. After noon, the sun is poisonous, and then they go home to study and practice calligraphy.

The ancestor of the Xie family used to be a speech officer, but he was demoted and returned to his hometown because of offending the emperor because of his remonstrance, and the Enke of the Xie family was banned.

The Xie family also returned to their hometown and multiplied.

However, Ding Xingwang from the Xie family, when he came to Xie Yunli's branch, even though his family was considered a scholarly disciple, they had to be self-sufficient because they could not enter the court as an official.

More than ten years ago, the former dynasty was overthrown by the new emperor.

The Xie family, as if seeing the hope of becoming an official in the court, urged their sons to study well, so that they can go to high school in one fell swoop and honor their ancestors.

Xie Yunli is now fifty-two.

Ten years ago, he took an Enke exam and encountered bandits robbing him on the way. Fortunately, a bodyguard rescued him with all his might and saved his life.

In order to thank the escort for saving his life, he asked his eldest son to marry the escort's daughter.

Later, Xie Yunli took the exam twice more.

It was only the fourth time that he became an older scholar.

Erya was still young, so she didn't help in the kitchen.

On the contrary, Da Ya helps the elders in the family to feed the chickens and sweep the fallen leaves in front and back of the house every morning.

Da Ya’s elder brother Xie Zhiren also followed the elders to work, study and practice calligraphy.

Xia Manxing and Zhu Yeqing brought the prepared breakfast to the wooden table and put it away.

The man from Xie's family who was working in the farmland also came back in shorts. They washed their hands with water, and the whole family sat down and had breakfast together.

Xie's breakfast is not rich.

It's just a bowl of porridge per person.

The rice in porridge is also brown rice.

In addition, there are a few dead gnocchi pinched by rough noodles.

Mrs. Zhao was the first to grab a rough lump and hand it to Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu took the rough dough and took a bite, the dough was so thick it scratched her throat.

Objectively speaking, Xie Mingzhu used to feel that the poverty she saw as a poverty alleviation cadre was the limit of poverty.

Little did she know that after coming to this world, she would have a subversive understanding of "poor".

Qin Che saw that Xie Mingzhu was having a hard time swallowing, so he handed over his job bowl to Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu took a sip of the rice soup, and her complexion improved a bit.

Poverty alleviation work should be put on the agenda without delay.

Xie Mingzhu noticed that there were more brown rice and less soup in the bowls in front of the men.

In the bowls in front of the women, there is less rice and more soup.

This is not patriarchal, but that men have to work hard, and if they don't eat better, they won't have the strength to work.

Xie Mingzhu thought that her family's conditions were like this, and her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces even allowed her to drink frangipane, she really deserved it.

Xie Mingzhu held her chopsticks and thought, she didn't know that she would time travel after death, if she knew, she would stock up some goods in advance, so as not to live such a life of not having enough to eat.

In fact, compared with other families in the same village, the conditions of Xie's family are not enough, but more than enough.

The family had breakfast.

The men went back to their rooms to study, and the women also sat around and weaved after finishing the housework.

"Miss."

Qin Che called Xie Mingzhu to his side, took out a cloth bag that he was carrying, and handed a heavy bag to Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu looked at Qin Che suspiciously, and asked, "What is this?"

"Open it and see."

Xie Mingzhu opened it and saw that it was a bag of silver.

There is a silver ingot, and some broken silver.

"Where did you come from?"

A shy smile flickered in Qin Che's clear and handsome eyes, and he said frankly, "I saved it."

"Then what are you going to do for me? Keep it for yourself!"

Xie Mingzhu didn't want it, but returned it to Qin Che.

Qin Che didn't answer, but said: "I heard from Master that when my mother was around, my father also handed over the family's money to my mother."

"That's different."

Xie Mingzhu said in his heart, you and I are not considered a serious couple.

At this time, Xie Mingzhu didn't know that whether she admitted it or not, the marriage letter between her and Qin Che had already been filed with the government.

"My lady, what are your plans for the future?" Qin Che said in a low voice: "We can't live at home all the time, why don't we use the money to build a room next to you? You are separated from your parents, and Can I go back to my mother's house anytime?"

Xie Mingzhu didn't know much about the current prices, and she didn't know what Qin Che could do with the money Qin Che gave her.

"Qin Che, you are not in good health, and your father can't count on you. I thought, instead of dividing up and starting a house, it's better to treat your illness first. After your illness is cured, you can take the examinations for scholars, raise people, and finally become the number one scholar." ..."
