Jiang's mother left only the next day.

When I left, I was just like usual, smiling and saying hello to my neighbors.

The lady across the door also smiled and asked her, "What good things did the Zhou family ask you to bring this time?"

Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, sister, you are really joking. What good things can we have in the countryside? You haven't seen any good things in the city, but they are just home-raised." Chicken, duck, marinated meat, and some vegetables and eggs, not worth anything, not worth anything.”

The aunt sighed, "The Zhou family are really kind people. If you think about this kind of situation, you would have long since thought that the child is not one of your own. Who cares?"

What can Jiang Mu say?

Just smile and play it off.

Then the aunt asked again, "Does the Zhou family do this because they want to wait until their children grow up to go back and recognize their ancestors?"

Jiang's mother was shocked and blurted out, "How is this possible!"

If this word really spreads, then the blacksmith is not a fool who takes advantage of him, and can raise children for nothing without getting anything in return?

I saw an indescribable weirdness on the aunt's face.

Jiang's mother also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she smiled dryly and said it was getting late and she had to hurry, and left in a hurry.

With a satisfied smile on her face, the aunt said, "Sister, come and chat with me next time. It's always fun to talk to you." You are such an interesting person.

But Jiang Mu was so angry.

Funny ass!

Who will come to chat with you when they are full?

Sure enough, people in the city are deeply entrenched, and there are tricks everywhere!

I couldn't help but worry, this, this wouldn't bring any trouble to my daughter.

Of course, she doesn't care at all that her daughter is not troublesome. What she cares about is that the benefits she will get in the future will be affected. However, the blacksmith is very stupid. He has always treated Huzi and the others as his own sons, and he is dull. If you don't talk much, you probably won't listen to these gossips.

Thinking of this, he touched the hundreds of copper coins in his purse.

After a few days, she will visit her other two daughters. Her eldest grandson will be able to study in a private school in the second half of the year.

The backpack is heavy.

They were all good things she bought from her second daughter-in-law's house, including white rice, flour, bacon, snacks, and two pieces of fine cotton cloth.

This trip was well worth it.

This trip in Song Dynasty was not in vain.

He first went to Jiang's husband's village.

Dress up in disguise.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I looked extremely tired and looked for someone to ask for a bowl of water.

It happened that there were several wives and aunts sitting in that courtyard.

Just ask him where he is from.

"Come from such-and-such town."

A certain town.

The eldest lady was very curious and asked him some things about the town.

Song Shi picked out a few and talked about them.

"The owner of Su's Inn passed away not long ago. His sons fought over the family property and were beaten to pieces."

"Didn't Mr. Wang get a wife last year? She is a girl from that family. No, Qianer went to have a youth with his classmates, and when he came back, he took a girl from a farmer's family as a concubine."

"There is a paper-making shop on Sesame Road, eh? My aunt also knows, yes, yes, the old man has never been married or has any relatives. I heard that he intends to take on an apprentice so that he can take care of himself until the end of his life. It's just his situation, tsk tsk , it’s not easy to handle.”

"I heard that the blacksmith's family in town is preparing to send his stepson to study, and is planning to change his surname and name. What, who did I hear this from? Hey, I actually don't know if this is true. I'm the only one here. I met an old lady on the road who had just returned from her daughter's house. I heard her chatting with someone. I know the blacksmith. She has several sons in the family. He is really a generous and kind stepfather. I married into his family. My daughter-in-law is enjoying the blessing."

"blacksmith?"

Someone exclaimed, "It can't be the one married by the third daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, right?" "Change your surname? Didn't you say you won't change it?"

"I've already married into another family. If I don't change my mind, who can still control me?"

"Studying, what about sending all Jiang's four sons?"

"It's impossible. How can a blacksmith get so much silver?"

"That's right, studying is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Look at the scholar from the next village. He spent his whole life taking exams, but his wife and children failed the exam. In the end, he was still a scholar."

"It's good to be admitted as a scholar."

"That's what I said." Song Shi said with a smile, an expression of envy on his face, "The blacksmith really can't make much money just by blacksmithing, but with the subsidies from the Zhou family, it will be fine."

Zhou family subsidy?

Several ladies were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths when they heard this.

This, the Zhou family?

"Young man, are you serious?"

Is that a mistake?

The Zhou family is such a harsh and stingy family. The whole family can't even have enough to eat, but they still subsidize outsiders?

The blood-related grandson who has remarried with his mother has become an outsider.

"Of course you are serious. The old lady of the Zhou family carries meat and eggs to the blacksmith's house every now and then. Those four boys are white and tender and as strong as calves. Who doesn't know about the neighbors? That Jiang family From time to time, I would brag and say that the children’s own grandmother had sent them to replenish their bodies. Let me tell you, Zhou’s family is really a little confused this week. The conditions at home are obviously very good, and they provide meat, eggs, and refined grains. You might as well take your grandson back to raise him. It’s not that you can’t afford to raise him. Putting him in someone else’s home to raise him will end up benefiting the blacksmith and getting him a good reputation. If one of the children really gets the honors, what’s wrong with them? No matter what, it was provided by the blacksmith."

Ladies:

Still very fantasy.

Some people didn't believe it, "Really or not? We live in the same village. We all know what the Zhou family looks like. What you said is impossible."

"Then I don't know. Anyway, in our town, if you just ask around, you will know that the in-laws of the blacksmith's wife are good people. They are kind-hearted people in the family. If they want to leave my family, my mother will subsidize my eldest sister privately. , not to mention a piece of meat, just a handful of rice, my family will cause trouble." Song Shi sighed.

I silently said sorry in my heart.

I'm sorry, my non-existent wife, I cheated on you.

The aunt in the indigo cloth shirt laughed.

To be honest, who is not like this?

They were all staring at the things in the old man's hands.

But, who lets the whole family’s finances rest in the hands of the elderly?

If my sister-in-law takes advantage, my family will suffer a loss.

This is not an era where suffering is a blessing.

"Then the blacksmith really wants to send them to study? All of them?"

someone asked.

"Isn't it? As long as one of them is read out, it will be a great thing for Guangzong Yaozu's chicken and dog to ascend to heaven. Of the four, one must be promising. Besides, not only is the Zhou family helping, Jiang's mother-in-law has to go there every month. When I went to my daughter's house, I carried a basket on my back and it was almost full of vegetables. I'm not talking nonsense, everyone in Tonghua Alley is watching."

"With so many people helping us, the blacksmith family is about to get up."

Brother Gancane is extremely envious.
