After rebirth, Bai Yueguang's abandoned wife is soft and unstoppable

Chapter 8

It turned out that the empress gave birth to a dragon son two days ago, and the emperor gave amnesty to the world, so the three mothers and daughters of the Liu family were given grace and released.

An Qianya was suspected of murdering her own siblings, so she shouldn't have been released, but she was lucky, the imperial edict of amnesty stated that there was no doubt about it.

Because An Qianwen later said in the interrogation by the government that she didn't see the murderer's face clearly, only saw that the man was wearing the same clothes as An Qianya, she felt guilty for a moment and thought that the murderer was her own sister.

The evidence was insufficient, and the government was too lazy to investigate further, so they released her together.

But when they came back, they did not guard the spirit for Antai, but divided the family property.

According to the laws of the Daxuan Dynasty, the children of concubines also have the right to inherit the inheritance, and unmarried daughters can share half of the property inherited by the man.

Therefore, An Qianya and An Qianwen can share as much inheritance as An Zhixuan.

Qianru put all the property of the family on the table, divided it into five shares, and set aside two shares for An Qianya and An Qianwen.

"What about the land deed, land deed, and house deed of Gongjiang's hometown?"

Qianru had never seen these before, and she didn't know until Liu found out from Antai's bedroom that there was also a land deed in the wall hole behind the closet.

"Ten acres of fertile land and a house are worth more than 200 taels no matter what. We don't want these things, so you give us another 80 taels."

Qianru gave another 80 taels to Liu's mother and daughter.

The three mothers and daughters lost the money as soon as they got it.

He didn't even bother to offer An Tai a stick of incense.

Antai's pension totaled 300 taels, 200 taels were given to Liu's mother and daughter, and they had 100 taels left.

Qianru figured that it should be enough to send Antai's ashes back to Gongjiang's hometown for burial.

There are houses and land there, and the future life is finally settled.

However, for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't until I went to hire a carriage that I accidentally ran into two people suing over the property deed and suddenly discovered the clue.

The contracts in their hands are all white contracts without official seals.

An Tai is a supervisor, and he is familiar with the laws and regulations. How could he sign a white contract with someone?

According to the regulations of the Daxuan Dynasty, Bai Qi is not protected by the law, and even if there is a dispute, it will not be accepted.

Are we being deceived?
She took the contract, searched for An Tai's handwriting and compared it, and was surprised to find that the signature on the contract was forged, and she was extremely regretful.

"I'm so stupid, so stupid!"

At this time, the mothers of the children injured by Zhixuan came to ask for medical expenses.

In order to show that they were not exorbitant prices, they brought the doctor's prescriptions and receipts, and showed her one by one.

For their pity's sake, they erased the change and deducted the 20 taels they had paid last time, and only let her pay 80 taels.

Having learned the lesson from Liu's mother and daughter, she looked carefully at those prescriptions and found that all the medicinal materials were used, no wonder they are so expensive, seeing that they are all dressed as rich wives, they should not be able to extort money.

But if they were paid 80 taels, they would not be able to send Antai back to Gongjiang for burial.

How can this be good?

Among them, the wife who was the leader, wearing a blue satin jacket and a red golden phoenix hairpin, said arrogantly: "My husband is a senior official of the fourth rank in the court. He is not interested in this kind of compensation, but your brother is too aggressive. My son's nose There must be an explanation for this matter. If Hu Yong, the censor, did not come forward to mediate, you will have to pay as much as you are asked to pay!"

The others also showed their status as officials of the Patriarch.

They are all masters who can't afford to offend, so Qianru has no choice but to offer money to make amends, and both parties signed a document to cancel it.

In the evening, the government sent someone to collect the house, urging them to move out within two days.

Qianru took out all the money and counted it several times.

Together, the gift money received in the past few days is about 56 taels.

"Zhixuan, let me figure it out. If we don't hire a carriage and carry father's ashes back to Gongjiang for burial on foot, the money should be enough, but it may take several months. Can you bear it?"

"Then?"

"After that, I will naturally find a way to live in Gongjiang."

"Sister, have you forgotten about Mr. Li? Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Let's not go back to Gongjiang, let's live in the capital!"

After all, it was something experienced by the original owner of the body. After leaving Gongjiang, she threw this matter out of the blue.

Now that I think about it, that place is really not suitable for settlement.

In order to facilitate worship, Qianru found a place in the west of the city to bury Antai.

It was only two miles away from the mass grave.

The land price is very fair.

The purchase of land for funeral and burial only cost a little over twenty taels.

After handling these matters, she accidentally learned that there was a back alley of Baishi shop in the west of the city for rent.

Because it is close to Baishipu, the price is very cheap.

An independent yard, two bedrooms, and a well, only two taels of silver a month.

Qianru is a person who has died once, and she is not afraid of these things at all, and Zhixuan is also very brave.

After summing up, they rented the yard, packed their luggage and moved there.

The owner of the house, Mama Hua, is a kind-looking middle-aged woman who promised to give them half a month's rent if they paid half a year's rent in one go.

Qianru readily gave and signed the contract.

Mother Hua was very happy, and enthusiastically took the siblings to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

Listening to her and the people around her talking, Qianru regretted it.

It turned out that Mama Hua was the proprietress of the nearby Goulan Yard, and behind the yard she rented was the Goulan Yard opened by Mama Hua.

But there was no way to regret it, the money was paid, and the contract was signed.

With the little money they have left, they can't rent other yards for a long time and make ends meet.

"Zhixuan, sister, I'm sorry."

"Sister, it's not your fault, it's all forced by life. The master said that motivated people are equally motivated wherever they are. Trust me, I won't let you down."

She found out that there was a cheap private school nearby that only cost two taels of silver a month, so she sent Zhixuan to study there.

After paying half a year's tuition and miscellaneous fees, she only has five liang of silver left.

How to do?I have to find a way to make money!
Where can I make money?

Mother Hua is a genius, she noticed her beauty early in the morning, and came to her whenever she had something to do, trying to trick her into going to her Baihualou.

She flatly refused and ignored her in the future.

She saw Xishikou, where someone wrote letters for a living.

So he also painted a gourd to set up a stall.

She has read a lot of poetry and books, she can write well, and she looks good, so many people line up to ask her to write letters.

In three days, I made a net profit of one tael of silver.

Seeing that this is a good way to make a living, she went to set up a stall early every day.

The old Confucian scholar next to him didn't like it, and mocked her for not selling calligraphy but for making a living by selling prostitutes, and she would be scolded everywhere, she was too lazy to reason with him, doing her own thing silently.

I make a living by my true ability, and I am aboveboard and upright.

But within a few days, she found that some male customers often came to her to write letters, with ambiguous sentences, which seemed to be teasing and frivolous, and their eyes were not regular.

She couldn't bear it anymore, closed the table angrily, and never set up a stall to write letters again.

But how would you support your family if you didn't write letters?
Thinking, thinking, can't help wiping away tears.

Probably because of some holes in the window paper, the child was weak, and not long after, Zhixuan caught a cold again.

In order not to let her know, he endured until he fainted, and was carried back by his master.

Her little hands were so hot, her little face was so hot, she was so uncomfortable that her heart was about to break.

I don't know if the doctor's medical skills are not good, or Zhixuan's illness is too serious, and the high fever has not subsided after a whole day.

She had no choice but to go to the doctor she had seen before for medical treatment behind his back.

The doctor's surname is Wen, and he used to take care of An's family's illnesses. His demeanor seems to be much more sophisticated than the doctor in the west of the city, but the fees are a bit expensive.

In any case, Zhixuan's life is at stake.

Not caring so much, she put all the silver on her body in front of Dr. Wen.

Doctor Wen sighed, took only two taels of silver, and asked where they lived.

"Miss, you are confused. That is the famous Yanliu Alley in the capital. If you move there, how can Mr. An rest in peace under the nine springs?"

"I, I really can't help it."

Doctor Wen saw her teardrops all over her face, he was so pitiful that he couldn't bear to accept the consultation fee, so he returned the money to her, and left the siblings to spend the night in the hospital hall until the fever subsided.

At noon the next day, Zhixuan finally opened her eyes, wept with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed to Doctor Wen to thank him.

"Doctors are parents' hearts, besides, Wen has been favored by Mr. An in the past."

During the conversation, Doctor Wen accidentally mentioned King Gui.

Only then did Qianru find out that Antai had an old grudge with King Gui, and because of this, she was exiled from Beijing for more than ten years.

He had long expected that he would never return, but he didn't say anything to their siblings, enduring his grievances and saying goodbye to them with a smile.

An Qianru was once again deeply moved by Antai's fatherly love.

Thinking of the promise she made to him when they parted and how she shrank when facing difficulties later, she was extremely ashamed, and secretly vowed to find a reliable livelihood to raise Zhixuan and make him stand out.
