Chapter 8

Waking up early the next morning, Xia Yingying's back was sore!
This bed was very uncomfortable to lie on. She used to sleep on a tall and wide bed, but this bed was made of straw, and it was too hot to sleep in summer.

And I don't know if there is something unclean on the bed, she is very itchy.

It has been three days since she came to Xia's house, and she didn't even take a bath, and she was extremely itchy.

But now I still need to make more money. Her small room is better than other people's rooms, at least it has a roof.

But the environment is not very good. Mother Xia cooks breakfast. Hers is white rice porridge, while others eat porridge with wild vegetables.

Xia Yingying finished her white rice porridge and said, "Let's continue digging wild vegetables this morning, and come back to learn to read in the afternoon."

The eldest, the second, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth all went to school and have some basic knowledge.

In fact, Xia Shugen is quite knowledgeable, knowing that they should go to school, especially the fourth and sixth children. Xia Yingying took the exam and had already learned "Book of Filial Piety", "University" and "The Mean".

It's a pity that there is no book at home, and all of them are sold out.

Xia Ying looked at Xia Yingying and said, "Sanmei, let's dig wild vegetables, can't these wild vegetables be sold?"

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "A friend I know needs wild vegetables and medicinal materials. I can replace them with the sweet potatoes we ate last time."

"Really?" Xia Ying's eyes lit up.

Xia Yingying nodded, and a group of people walked towards the foot of the mountain. This mountain is rolling and rich in products.

But ordinary people only dare to move around, Xia Ying said: "We don't need to go to the mountains to have a lot of wild vegetables, the mountains are still dangerous, there is a small forest here, and there are many wild vegetables in it."

As soon as Xia Yingying walked to the edge of the forest, she saw a lot of mushrooms, and Xia Xiong blushed anxiously: "This...this is not edible. There was a person in our village who ate mushrooms last year, and his whole family died of poison."

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "I don't eat, I just think it looks good, so I pick it for fun."

Seeing that she likes these mushrooms so much, Xia Ying said: "Then I'll go collect firewood first, you and the fourth and fifth children will stay here."

Xia Yingying nodded, and after they left, her consciousness began to communicate with Xiaoyin: "Xiaoyin, hello! Do you take these mushrooms?"

Little Silver said in a robotic tone: "Take it."

Xia Yingying became excited. There are really a lot of mushrooms here, especially under the woods. She picked three baskets in a moment of excitement, when she heard a strange sound coming from the woods.

"Brother Yindan, I heard that your mother went to Xia's house yesterday and her hand was burned?" a female voice said slowly.

Xia Yindan squinted her eyes and said, "My good sister, why are you bringing up that matter at this time?"

The female voice snorted softly and said: "I'm afraid that you will be seduced by that foxy girl. I heard that when she was in the prime minister's mansion, she would play tricks."

The fourth and fifth children also came over, Xia Yingying gave a "shh", and the two of them also squatted down by the grass.

Xia Yindan smiled and said, "How do you know?"

"Hmph! I have been in touch with Youyou for a long time. I know everything about the capital. Youyou said that she seduced her fiance and was kicked out by Xia's family." The woman said softly.

Xia Yindan's face was full of smiles: "Baby, don't talk about that woman, let's get down to business now."

As she spoke, she threw herself and her clothes aside, and then a red-faced scene happened.

The two are so forgetful!

One called Haogege and the other called Haomeimei. Their clothes were taken away without anyone finding them.

Xia Yingying looked at the two clothes, and the fourth child hesitated to say: "The clothes are not worth much, let's return them?"

Xia Yingying hummed: "Go back? Dreaming..."

She touched her pocket, and sure enough, she found a pouch with some broken silver in it. These were Xia Yindan's clothes.

There was one or two 320 Wen coins in it, Xia Yingying directly accepted it with a smile, then rummaged through the woman's pockets, and took out a gold ring from inside.

Only then did they throw their clothes directly into the river, and the fourth and fifth children watched her operation dumbfounded.

That operation is called smooth and smooth!

This Xia Yingying is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, how does she look like it?
The fourth child coughed and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back first!"

Lao Wu's legs were a little weak, and he hadn't had time to digest the eclectic scene before.

Now there is another more exciting thing, he is floating back.

Xia Yingying asked the fourth and fifth children to call for someone, and she ordered the mushrooms directly to exchange them.

Xiaoyin said: "A total of 8 5 yuan, may I exchange it for sweet potatoes or mung beans?"

"Well... 4 yuan for sweet potatoes, 4.5 for mung beans!" Xia Yingying had just finished speaking when she had two more things in her hand, which were packed in plastic bags.

Xia Yingying already has two of these plastic bags. To be honest, this bag is not big and can hold a lot of things.

Of course, she didn't quite understand what it was made of, but it was just a bag, and she wasn't happy to delve into it.

After a while, I saw Xia Ying and Xia Xiong coming over with two bundles of firewood on their backs.

Xia Ying said: "The wild vegetables are picked? Fourth brother, why didn't you do anything?"

Xia Yingying said: "Brother, I have replaced all of them with mung beans and sweet potatoes, let's go home!"

"So fast?" Xia Ying glanced at her, Xia Yingying nodded calmly, unwilling to explain further.

When several people returned home, they saw Xia Shugen groaning in a low voice, his legs were in excruciating pain.

Xia Yingying put down her backpack and said, "Why don't we go to the town and invite a doctor to take a look?"

Anyway, I need to see a doctor, Xia Yingying became a monk halfway through.

Xia Shugen shook his head with a pale face and said: "Our family has no money, so I just endured it and went."

Looking at his thin body, Xia Yingying thought of the scene in his previous life when he hurried back and sent her back to the capital.

At that time, with tears in his eyes, he touched her head, but she looked at him coldly and cried, "Take me home, I want to go back, this is not my home... woo woo woo... "

Xia Shugen burst into tears, and his heart was full of reluctance: "Girl, it's all us, it's our fault, you take this money..."

He gave all the wages of 60 Wen to Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying slapped the 60 Wen on the ground, shouting hoarsely: "Are you sending a beggar? I don't want it! I'm going back today."

At that time, 60 Wen was probably the only money in this family!

Xia Yingying said: "Our family is rich, elder brother, second elder brother, please go to the town and find the best doctor."

Zheng Jinhua hurriedly interjected, "Yingying, why don't you just forget about it?"

Xia Yingying shook her head and said: "It's better to have a look, after all, he is the head of the family, so many people in our family depend on him!"

As soon as these words were said, the eyes of the eldest, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth children all burst into tears.
