Confiscated and exiled?Phew, I emptied the warehouse first

Chapter 24 Lin Meng’an’s money bag falls by the wayside

The branches and leaves were relatively fluffy, so Zhang Guilan tore the corners of her clothes into long thin strips of cloth, tied up the branches and leaves, and carried them on her back.

At noon, the official ordered people to rest where they were.

Each person was given a multigrain pancake.

The ration from morning to night is only a small grain pancake.

If the children can't fill their stomachs, let alone the adults, everyone can only stay close to each other.

After all, if the exiled prisoners are fed, the official has to bear the risk that the prisoner may escape.

If the prisoner doesn't have enough to eat, then if something goes wrong, the officer can still catch the prisoner with sufficient physical strength.

The people in the main room devoured the multigrain pancakes. Finally, they were no longer black and hard buns. Although the multigrain pancakes still made their throats sore, they were much better.

It’s just that the amount is too small, and people simply can’t get enough.

The eldest aunt Tang Si asked the lobby sister-in-law Lin Mengan to change some other food.

"Boss, please go get something to eat. Be smarter this time and see what the officials have to offer. Don't just eat white steamed buns every day. Even good people will get sick from eating them."

Lin Meng'an squeezed the shrunken package and felt very uncomfortable: I can exchange it for whatever I want with my money. If you have the ability, you can exchange it yourself. I support you as a big family and I will exchange this for you and that. You still have so many problems.

But these words only stayed in her stomach, and she did not dare to say them out.

She still lowered her head and went to the official to exchange for food.

This time Lin Meng'an exchanged for white/noodle steamed buns and some pickles.

Tang Si, the auntie, didn’t know whether to be angry or laugh.

You said she didn't listen to you. It's true that she also exchanged pickles. You said she listened to you. You can't exchange eggs, meat, vegetables, etc. for anything.

Seeing that the time was almost up, grandmother Luo Si called Lin Meng'an to her side.

"Good boy, how does grandma treat you on weekdays?"

The first thing that came to Lin Meng'an's mind was his grandmother Luo Si's cold face and roar: You are a hen that can't lay eggs. It's really unjust for the Yan family to marry you.

She shrank her neck, lowered her head, stirred her fingers uneasily, and whispered: "Grandma treats me very well."

"He's kind-hearted."

Lin Meng'an was flattered by her grandmother Luo Si's gentle words: "Thank you grandma for the compliment."

"Child, it's not my grandmother who said that our whole family has been exiled now. This journey has been very difficult."

Lin Mengan was silent.

"You have been in the Yan family for so many years, but you have never taken care of the house. When you are not a householder, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. We must be able to use the money you have in the exile, right?"

Lin Meng'an nodded, feeling that what his grandmother said made sense.

"I'll take care of it, grandma."

Grandmother Luo Si's eyelids twitched and she cursed in her heart: I really have no vision, can I let you take care of me?
"Good boy, can grandma discuss it with you?"

Lin Meng'an always felt that her grandmother Luo Si was very abnormal today and was not very gentle to her. She missed this kind of tenderness, but she felt that something was not right.

She nodded blankly.

"You put these coins here with grandma, and grandma will keep them for you. When you want to use them, ask grandma for them. Grandma will definitely not make it difficult for you."

Lin Mengan, the hall sister-in-law, suddenly realized: It turned out to be for the money in her hand.

Grandmother Luo Si continued: "Grandma knows that if your mother-in-law has something to do, she will give you orders. As a daughter-in-law, it is difficult for you to refuse. It is very difficult for you to do so."

Lin Meng'an thought about the same truth. Her mother-in-law Tang Si asked her to do anything and she couldn't refuse. She could only watch the package given to her by her mother-in-law become thinner and thinner.

"But if you leave the money with your grandmother, your mother-in-law can't reach out and ask for it. We are no better than before. We don't have enough to eat and wear, and we suffer poverty if we don't calculate it. If grandma takes this money, we can go to exile smoothly. Isn't it?" Lin Meng'an always felt that something was not right, but it was rare for her grandmother to be so gentle to her. She was coaxed into dizziness by her grandmother Luo Si's gentle tone.

The remaining bit of reason told her: No, this is a trap.

However, she has been infertile for many years in the Yan family, and has always been ridiculed. Her status and treatment are even inferior to those of her second cousin Yan Ming. It is rare that her grandmother Luo Si has the patience to talk to her, and she is a little overwhelmed emotionally.

"Grandma..." Lin Meng'an neither refused nor agreed.

Grandmother Luo Si knew that this was a good opportunity. If Lin Meng'an came back to her senses, her words would be in vain.

She took Lin Meng'an's hand and rubbed it gently.

"Good boy, our big house is like a grasshopper on a rope now. Think about it, money is something you don't take with you until you die. My grandmother is about to be buried. It's also for your sake that you plan carefully. You Understand grandma’s good intentions.”

Lin Mengan seemed to be persuaded.

Come to think of it, even though my grandmother is old, she still takes care of these children.

"There were so many things that happened on the way to exile. Grandma also wanted us all to survive to the place of exile, wasn't she?"

Lin Meng'an didn't know what he was thinking.

She clearly felt that she should keep the money herself.

Just like last night, she took off the shackles of her husband and them, and her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law all praised her.

Only when she has money in her hands can she have a sense of presence in this family.

"Grandma won't misuse your money, she will just take care of it for you. If it has some use in the future, it will be in your name." Grandma Luo Si promised without blushing.

Lin Meng'an's confused mind was filled with confusion and analysis.

If this is the case, it will be the same no matter who holds the money.

And it is true that the money is held by the grandmother and can be used for a longer period of time.

Her mother-in-law Tang Si came to her today to get some food. She was so bossy and uncomfortable just thinking about it.

But if grandmother Luo Si holds the money, can mother-in-law Tang Si still force her to do it?

Moreover, Grandma Luo Si has always been the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, so the money will definitely be spent wisely.

If a person does not survive the exile, what is the use of keeping money?

Thinking about it this way, she really felt that the money should be given to her grandmother for safekeeping.

She removed the package from her back and handed it to her grandmother Luo Si.

"Grandma, please put it away."

Grandmother Luo Si suddenly smiled like a flower, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to be reduced a lot.

She took the backpack and looked at it as if it was shining: she didn't know how many things were in it, but it felt safe to hold these real gold and silver items in her hands.

"Good boy, you are filial."

Lin Meng'an, the hall sister-in-law, lowered her head shyly.

However, she only listened to her grandmother Luo Si's various chicken soups for the soul, but forgot about her difficult situation in the Yan family.

She doesn't have children like her concubine Zheng Meiyu, nor is she loved by her elders like her third cousin who is strict. The only time she has a sense of existence is when she is exiled on the road with money in her hand. Everything the family wants to do has to go through her. hand.

This money is what she relies on.

She just handed over the money obediently. If there was any need to use the money in the future, it would be better if Grandma Luo Si followed her promise. Otherwise, others would think of Grandma Luo Si as well.

She, Lin Meng'anke, is really alone.
