My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 53
The woman pursed her lips, took a sip at Jiang Tangtang's back, and muttered: "They are all exiled criminals, and they are dragging her around. They really have no education at all."

"Mother Shuanzi, these criminals are different from the ones who were exiled the year before last. I heard that the family who came today not only had cattle, but also a donkey cart with a cart full of things. They seemed to be in good condition. "A woman with a long face and dark skin said.

Ge Shuanniang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sanniang, are you telling the truth?"

Ge Sanniang said: "Not only that, when they came, I also saw two very handsome young men sitting on the bullock cart! Isn't your eldest girl picking on others? I saw those two young men. You are suitable."

Ge Shuanniang was a little moved, but she said: "It's not like my eldest girl can't be said to be from a good family, so why would she want to find a criminal!"

Ge Sanniang said: "Don't think they are sinners, but they are all nobles in Beijing. Look at the Xue family. After marrying their daughter to the Gu family, the son-in-law taught his children to study, and Hui Hui took the exam in the academy. Name, when I come back from the next exam as a scholar, I will change my family!"

"Not everyone is as knowledgeable as Gu Langjun." Although Ge Shuanniang said this, she walked towards the thatched house.

Under Jiang Tangtang's influence, Su Shi and Lu Zhixi slowly stopped crying, cheered up, and began to clean the two shabby huts.

Mrs. Lu's legs were swollen from traveling these past few days. Lu Shiyan did not let her move around and let her sit on the bullock cart to rest while he jumped on the roof to repair the roof.

The whole family got busy, and soon the originally dirty thatched house became tidy.

Ge Shuanniang was very satisfied when she saw Lu Shiyan jumping onto the roof easily. Then she saw that the two women cooking next to her actually took out meat to cook. She believed Ge Sanniang's words even more. It seemed that this family The conditions are really good.

Not only does she have donkeys, carts and oxen, she can also afford meat, and she will definitely have some money left over. When the time comes, she can build a big house and help her with bolts...

Although she is a criminal with no future, her daughter will not endure hardship if she marries into such a family, and the marriage is not bad.

Ge Shuanniang was thinking in her mind, and took out a few taros from the basket, walked towards He Qiuniang, and said with a smile: "Sisters, are you the new residents? These are the taros I just dug in the ground. Take them. Go and taste it.”

He Qiuniang did not dare to accept it, but turned to ask Mrs. Lu what she meant, "Old lady, someone sent taro."

Mrs. Lu glanced at Ge Shuanniang and said kindly: "Since it was given by a neighbor, just accept it!"

He Qiuniang then put away the taro and went back to work.

Ge Shuanniang looked at He Qiuniang, then at Mrs. Lu, and immediately concluded in her heart that this old lady was the person in charge of the family, so she hurried over to get close to Mrs. Lu.

When I learned that this exiled family not only had cattle and donkeys, but also servants, I felt even more passionate.

Looking at Mrs. Lu's age, she pointed at Lu Shiyan and said, "Is that your eldest grandson?"

Mrs. Lu nodded, then pointed to Jiang Tangtang who was coming back with water in the distance and said: "That is my eldest grandson-in-law. She is a blessed and good child. She has added two grandsons and one granddaughter to my Lu family as soon as she walked in."

When she heard that Lu Shiyan was married and had a child, the enthusiasm on Ge Shuanniang's face suddenly dimmed.But soon, her eyes fell on Lu Shili again.

"The boy sitting on the ground is also your grandson, right! Just like his brother, he looks just right. Old lady, you are really lucky. I wonder if he is married?"

Mrs. Lu said: "Yes, this is my little grandson. We didn't get married, but he injured his leg on the road and has difficulty moving..."

Mrs. Lu didn't say any more about the rest.But Ge Shuanniang has automatically understood that although she is not married, she is an ineffective paralytic.

She was immediately disappointed, found an excuse at random, and left with the basket.

Jiang Tangtang saw that the woman looked very unhappy when she left, and asked curiously: "Grandma, what did she just tell you?" Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Your second brother just arrived at the village, and he was noticed. I want to Say goodbye to him!"

Jiang Tangtang's eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Shili said anxiously: "Grandma! Don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, I have rejected this marriage for you!" Mrs. Lu said: "That woman has a wrong mind, and the daughter she raised will definitely not be much better. Your grandmother will carefully choose your marriage."

The two were sitting together chatting. Ge Shuanniang was trying to tell Mrs. Lu what she said, and Mrs. Lu was naturally trying to tell Ge Shuanniang what she said.

Mrs. Lu used to deal with noble ladies like human beings in the capital, but she didn't need to spend too much time dealing with peasant women like Ge Shuanniang.

In just a few sentences, the situation of the Ge family, Ge Shuanniang's character and purpose were clarified.

"I don't want to get married, this is great!" Lu Shili said calmly.

"Are you still thinking about that girl from the Cui family?" Mrs. Lu suddenly looked serious.

Lu Shili got engaged to Cui Yueling, Cui Shangshu's granddaughter, this year, two years ago, and was supposed to get married in the twelfth lunar month of this year.

Something happened to the Lu family. Cui Yueling immediately came over with the marriage certificate to break off the engagement. Cui Shangshu was worried about being implicated by the Lu family, so he severely stepped on the Lu family in the court.

Thinking of the Cui family, Mrs. Lu became very angry.

Lu Shili said in a low mood: "No, I just think we should settle the matter of residence and wasteland now, and we can talk about my marriage later."

Jiang Tangtang saw that Mrs. Lu's expression was not good, so she also helped change the subject and said: "Grandma, let's live in this thatched house for now. Tomorrow we will ask Manager Xia for a homestead and find someone to build a house properly.

I heard that the winter here is not bad on weekdays, but it is extremely cold when there is strong wind. We will then find someone to build a big, strong house. "

When it comes to building a house, everyone's thoughts are quickly diverted.

Su said worriedly: "It costs a lot of money to build a big house, right? We have to buy everything from food to clothing. How can we have so much money?"

There was no news before the Lu family was confiscated and sent to prison. It can be said that they were caught off guard.

We didn't have much money or jewelry hidden on our bodies, and we were running official errands on the road, buying food and other supplies, so there was not much money left in our hands.

If they only rely on the money in their hands, let alone repairing the house, the family's food and drink may be a problem.

Jiang Tangtang said: "Mom, you have forgotten the river mussels I picked up on the road. Although the pearls extracted from the river mussels cost some money, there are still a few left. If these pearls are sold, there is still no problem in building a house. of."

"But you were lucky and earned it yourself. How can you use your money to build a house?" Su said without thinking.

"Mom, we are all a family now, there is no difference between us." Jiang Tangtang found that although her cheap mother-in-law was weak and prone to crying, she had upright views and was capable of dealing with things.
