Chapter 7 The profiteers are so black!

The food aspect has been taken care of for now, and the next step is the accommodation aspect.

There are two rooms in Lao Jiang's family. One is the west room where Jiang Changfa and his wife sleep with their youngest son Chuan Geer, and the other is the east room where Lao Xu and his precious granddaughter Fu Bao sleep.

Normally Fu Bao sleeps with his grandma, but after his grandma left home for a month, Fu Bao slept with his parents and his stinky brother again.

Now that there is an additional child breadwinner in the family, where to sleep is another problem.

"Mom, as the saying goes, babies don't sit on the same table when they are six years old, and Fu Bao is just over five years old. For the time being, Brother Yu and Fu Bao can stay in the same room with you.

In the second half of the year, my wife's screen will be embroidered and handed over to the embroidery shop. After getting a sum of money, I will ask Fu Bao's father to buy some materials and build a new house for Brother Yu to live in the open space in front of your house."

Mrs. Liu knew that her family had no savings, so she immediately thought of the screen embroidery she had on hand.

This is a one-foot-long piece of embroidery. I went to the embroidery shop to pick up the work at the beginning of the year. For this piece of embroidery, I deposited one or two silver coins at the embroidery shop.

If the embroidery is completed, it will cost no less than ten taels of silver for craftsmanship.

Including the refunded deposit, eleven taels, I can build a house.

"Hey, Cui Niang, thank you for your hard work. Don't compete with me for housework in the future. You can concentrate on taking care of Brother Chuan. In your free time, you can embroider your screen. I'll take care of the blessing treasure."

Old Mrs. Xu nodded, one family does not speak the language of two families.

The daughter-in-law is filial, and she will help her daughter-in-law if she can.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not avoid Fubao and Song Yu in their conversation.

Fu Bao was playing with his fingers on the surface, but actually he was thinking, if the embroidery that Mom mentioned was the one in the house that only had some embroidery done on the corners, right? !

Darling, almost three meters of embroidery cost only ten taels of silver.

In modern times, that would be valuable!
  Profiteers, so black and panic!

No, this family is now at the end of its rope, she can't let it go!

Think of ways to make money and improve conditions for your family!

Song Yu bit his lip. He was once the only young master in the Duke's residence. Not to mention the delicacies, he also owned countless silks, gold, silver and jewels.

His home was confiscated, his flesh and blood were separated, and his identity was changed. Now, he has nothing of value in his body!
  Mrs. Xu was going to ask Fu Bao to take Brother Yu to the house, and later she would bring foot bath water to soak their feet.

But he saw that Brother Yu's expression was wrong and he said with concern:

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you? Are you cold?"

"I'm fine, grandma, I, I'm sleepy."

Song Yu shook his head and found an excuse to excuse himself.

"Hey, let Fu Bao take you back to the house. The hot water will be delivered later. You can soak your feet before getting on the kang."

Mrs. Xu did not doubt that he was there, and after being relieved, she motioned to her granddaughter to take him back to the house.

"Brother Yu, come with me."

Fu Bao shouted coquettishly, fearing that the other party would recognize him and be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to extend his chubby little hands.

But it was better than she expected. The other party stretched out his slender fingers, which felt a little cold, and took her little hand.

"Tattoo~"

Fu Bao, a brave and high-spirited man, led his nominal child adopter to his grandma's house.

There is a clean kang in grandma’s house.

There was a small table on the kang, which was not in use at the moment. Fu Bao tried hard to move A Jing's small table to a corner where it would not be in the way.     "I'm here, and from now on, whatever I can do, let me do it."

Song Yu said seriously that he would accept his new identity calmly. Before one day being able to leave here and avenge his family, he would follow all the family's arrangements and repay the family for their life-saving grace.

"Okay, you said it. From now on, you can do whatever I ask you to do. Hang yourself on a hook and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a puppy!"

Not wanting to take advantage of the bastard, Fu Bao stretched out his chubby little finger and gestured for the other party to hook his finger and stamp it.

"it is good."

Song Yu showed a faint smile, and in an instant, it was like a bright pearl shining brightly. Even the coarse linen clothes could not cover up his outstanding temperament.

"Brother Yu, please don't smile at others in the future, or you'll be taken away by traffickers, oh no, the flower-girls."

Fu Bao wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. She was so superficial. When she saw beauty, she couldn't help but want to take it for herself.

Hearing this statement, Song Yu nodded. He made a note of it and tried to make himself as dusty and dirty as possible in the future.
  "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Liu entered the house carrying the footbath and looked at her daughter with confusion.

"It's okay, Mom, it's so cold. I want to wash my feet and go to sleep~"

Get up early to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, and earn a little money~
  Fu Bao didn't say the rest of the words. He sat consciously on the edge of the kang, kicked off his shoes and socks, and exposed his feet like little lotus roots.

"Don't scare Brother Yu. From now on, you will be in good hands."

When Mrs. Liu said this, she hesitated for a moment. She didn't know whether Brother Yu would recognize this marriage when he grew up and knew his life experience.

I can only change my words and let my daughter get the best of her. Even if the marriage doesn't work out, they still have the caring love that they grew up with. Is it still a brother-sister relationship?
  "Mom, I know. By the way, Mom, I heard from Xiaohua that the foot-binding lady is coming to the village recently. Please don't bind my feet. I'm afraid of pain~"

Fu Bao didn't hear the worry in her mother's words. While soaking her feet, she suddenly thought of what Xiao Hua said.

He quickly acted coquettishly and kissed her mother non-stop.

"Okay, okay, don't bind your feet. My Fu Bao doesn't bind his feet."

Ms. Liu nodded with a smile and helped her daughter wash her feet. After wiping them clean, she motioned her daughter to lie down in bed.

It was Brother Yu's turn to wash his feet. He didn't mind the foot-washing water used by his fiancée. He sat on the edge of the bed, thanked him, and then took off his shoes and socks.
  Mrs. Liu smiled and asked him to soak for a while.

Then put Brother Yu's shoes on the edge of the kang to bake.

This kid is really tolerant.

The shoes are soaked through and are cold. It's so cold in these clothes!
  No, she will make shoes when she returns to the house later.
  Old Xu's house didn't have much else, but there were a lot of bedding.

One bed per person is more than enough.

Mrs. Liu picked out a bed of cotton batting that was newly made last winter, and then took a buckwheat pillow and gave it to Brother Yu, indicating that he would sleep under it.

Song Yu nodded. He would not say more words of gratitude. He would use practical actions to treat the family well.
  "Ah~"

Fu Bao yawned all the time, sleeping in the middle position, covered with red floral flowers, and her skin was as white as snow.

"Brother Yu, I'm going to bed first, good night."

After saying that, Fu Bao fell asleep immediately and started snoring after a while.

Song Yu said good night in his heart, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
  After Mrs. Xu washed her feet outside and went back to the house to rest, she found that both children were asleep and smiled lovingly unconsciously.

Noble sir, don't worry, you saved the lives of the old woman and her whole family back then.

As long as the old woman and her family have something to eat now and in the future, Brother Yu will not be hungry!
