Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 41 Looking for Grandfather
It turned out that when the third aunt and the others returned to the village, they first went to the uncle's house. Although they separated in the early years, they were the closest people after all.

"Hey, the eldest girl has returned home? Now that you are developed, do you still know your relatives?"

The aunt directly stopped at the door, still as mean as ever, the gift didn't stop her from being obedient, Liu Cui endured and endured, but Liu Ye couldn't take it anymore.

"My brother came back when he was young, and the uncle said that the ancestral hall will not be opened this year, and there is no place to live at home. Let us follow my sister."

"Hmph, who are you talking back to? You really have stiff wings, go away and don't step on my land."

Finally Liu Cui couldn't bear it any longer, she turned around pulling her younger siblings, the room was quiet, and the uncle didn't come out, it was obvious that he was pushing people away.

The family returned to the buried home, and several children knelt in front of the slope, crying uncontrollably.

"Don't cry, when the soil thaws, we'll dig up the graves for our parents. The courtyard will not be covered, and the land will be rented out. You can follow your sister with peace of mind. Let's talk about it when Gener has a plan."

He didn't want to put pressure on his brother-in-law, if he really took the imperial examination, he would grit his teeth and confess.

It happened that Li Chang was passing by here and heard their cries. After asking, he found out that the uncle was really unreliable, so he agreed to help them rent out the land.

"Your family only has an acre and a half of land. Now the rent is [-]%, and there is [-]% after paying the tax. Let's collect it together at the end of the year."

There are at least two seasons a year, even if it is coarse grains, there is no more and less.

When they got home, their emotions hadn't calmed down yet, Liu Gen secretly became ruthless. In the future, he must stand out, win honor for his sister, and support the family.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the lunar new year. Mrs. Ye called her children and grandchildren together and revealed her long-planned plan, which was to go to the border to look for their father before spring plowing.

"Mother also thought about it. Your father is probably gone. If he is still alive, even if he can't come back, he can send a message with just a few words. But if he is dead, I haven't seen a death document yet."

"Mom, let's go there. In the past, we didn't make any money, and we were afraid that the barracks would not let us in. Now that we have money, we can definitely find out by asking around."

Ye Zheng was full of confidence, but Mrs. Ye had other arrangements.
"The second child and the third child will go together, and there will be a caretaker on the way,"

"Mom!" The boss yelled in surprise.
"How old was San'er when Dad left, I'm afraid he wouldn't even recognize him,"

Mrs. Ye sighed,

"It's been more than ten years, and my mother has become so old. Even if you walk on the street, you may not recognize her. If you go, you will check the booklet. Although you will come back during the spring plowing, what if there is a delay?"

Everything is possible when you are away from home.

The eldest was even more depressed when he heard that, and the second bought a new Zhuangzi, isn't he more afraid of delays?But Mrs. Ye didn't think so, as long as her little granddaughter was there, nothing would be wrong.

Ye Xing made a plan next to her, she would travel for her father.

"How can I do that? Both of you don't recognize anyone, even if you ask around, you can't tell anything." Ye Zheng was even more reluctant.

In fact, Mrs. Ye didn't let him go, mainly because Mrs. Wang talked about the lack of money every day, and asked the eldest son to do odd jobs after the next year.

In the end, it was decided that Ye Xing would go with the uncle. As for the family's field, the second and third children were in charge of it. The uncle still wanted to talk, but under the stare of the husband, she left in despair.

"It's said that poor families get rich, and this is all the money I have. It's about 18 taels. Take it with you!"

Ye Xing was determined not to want it, but her grandmother was very stubborn, so she asked her uncle to take it. There was no shortage of food in the family, and she left money for her mother, so she didn't have anything to worry about.

Now that we decided to go, sooner rather than later, we agreed to set off on the second day, and decided to use donkeys to pull the cart, because it would be faster after all.

Bullock carts have no carriages, and it is very inconvenient to carry a lot of things when traveling long distances.

"It's okay, find a place to put one on the road, and it will be convenient for future use." As long as you have money in your pocket, these things are not a problem.

The three daughters-in-law worked in the kitchen all night and made a lot of stone buns. This stuff is very hungry and will not go bad after a month. It is the best dry food.

But the plan didn’t change quickly. When the departure was approaching, the auntie couldn’t get off the kang because of a stomachache. Maybe she was tired last night?
Ye Xing didn't come forward, although she could check the pulse, she was not a serious doctor, and suggested sending her to the town clinic. The stomach pain could be big or small, but there was no delay.

"The uncle's mother is so ill, and the uncle can't go, so let's change to my father. There is nothing to worry about when there is a grandma and uncle in the family."

They carried the aunt into the donkey cart and drove to Yuanbao Town. When they reached the town's entrance, the father and daughter got out of the cart.

"Let's find another way. You should go to the clinic as soon as possible. If you don't have enough money for medical treatment, Xing'erniang still has some money."

After Ye Ying finished speaking, she took her daughter and left. Their father and daughter had already discussed that they would find a peddler first, and then buy a car when they arrived in Fengxian.

Ye Xing was most satisfied when he went out with his father. Anyway, he was his own father after all, so even if something was discovered, he didn't have to worry too much.

"Father, do you still remember grandpa? Mother said he was tall and heroic, what kind of person is he?"

In the Ye family, grandma complained occasionally, but other people never mentioned it. She still heard some things from her mother. Grandpa and grandpa were friends, and she met them when she was a child.

"Your grandfather is very righteous. After finishing the work in the field, he often goes to other homes to help. Dad was only six or seven years old at that time. Your third uncle is even younger. The whole family lives in the old house. Every time this time, grandmother gets very angry. , she couldn't catch her son, so she vented her anger on my mother."

I'm afraid this is also the reason why he was asked to serve in the military. The son of the Buba family is definitely not welcome.

"Don't say that third uncle doesn't remember, even father is vague. If we really want to go to the opposite side, we may not know each other."

One day later, they arrived in Feng County. After several months, they revisited the old place again. Ye Xing felt a little emotional. The crowds of refugees disappeared, and the toll was canceled at the city gate.

"Get a good night's sleep tonight. If you are lucky and can buy a suitable one tomorrow, we won't delay, and go back early."

This trip is just for the old lady's peace of mind, she must be gone long ago, otherwise why didn't she go home?
Ye Xing returned to the space that night, and as soon as he entered, Xiaoqing hurried over,
"Hey, master, why did you come here? Here, these are my treasures."

I saw a pile of herbs spread out on the ground, as well as some beautiful gems and strangely shaped stones, one of which was white, which caught Ye Xing's attention.
She licked it lightly, it was very bitter, the shiny appearance was similar to glass, it was the saltpeter she had been looking for.

"This is also from the secret real estate? Is it too much?"

Saltpeter will not appear alone, at least it is a small mine pile. It is a good thing. It can not only make gunpowder, but also use it to make ice. In this backward era, it is a good helper for getting rich.
