The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 158

"But, isn't the family's money tight? If we repair the house now, what will we do when we spend the winter?" Saburo is a little worried about the current situation of the family. According to Saburo's temperament, it is better to stay conservative.

"But Sanlang, have you ever thought that if our house is not repaired, it may still be like this again, and it will be robbed!" The more Ruhua said this, the more frightened she was. The hard-earned things will be stolen again.

"This, this..." Saburo didn't know what to say.

"Sanlang, we really need to repair the house! I don't want this kind of situation to happen to my family in the future." Ruhua stood in front of Saburo, clenched her fists and said loudly plausibly.

Ruhua has made up her mind that if she wants to build a house again, she must raise the courtyard wall and put some sharp objects on the courtyard wall to prevent others from climbing over the courtyard wall. In addition to these, there must be a solid As for the sturdy gate, a heavy and bulky lock must be hung on the gate...

Anyway, everything is to strengthen the defense at home.

What Ruhua said made sense, and Saburo also thought about it carefully, "Why don't we come back to discuss the repair of the house carefully before we go to town today and take care of everything!"

Saburo thinks this way, the family doesn't have much money, so he can just work harder to build the house, maybe hire one less worker and cut down one more tree... Relying on these will save the family a lot!

"Then it's settled!" Ruhua was a little happy knowing that Saburo agreed with her idea. Her happiness was not only because of Saburo's agreement, but also because she had fulfilled her wish to build a house in some way!

Before they knew it, the two had arrived in town.

"Sanlang, you go to the yamen first! I'll go shopping now, and we'll meet up at the city gate later." Ruhua took out a little bit of silver from her bag and handed it to Sanlang, "Put it carefully, don't lose it. Already!"

Saburo hurriedly pushed Ruhua's hands away, "I don't have much money at home, so I don't want it. Besides, I don't buy anything. If I don't need it, it's a waste of money."

"Take it! How can you, a big man, not have a penny on you? If someone else finds out about it, they don't know what to say about me as a wife. Maybe they will give me a nickname, Dongshi Lion or Is it a tigress?" Seeing that Sanlang was still reluctant, Ruhua said with a dark face, "You are going to the yamen, how could you not spend a penny? Even if the yamen servants are clean and honest, you should take something easy to manage of."

After hearing what Ruhua said, Sanlang made some sense, so he took the money that Ruhua handed over, and said with a smile, "If you can't handle the things you bought later, just wait for me, and I will move them when I arrive."

"Yeah! Got it!" Ruhua stretched out her hand to tidy up Saburo's messy clothes, "Go!"

Saburo went in the direction of the Yamen.Seeing Sanlang's back disappearing into the crowd, Ruhua regained her composure. Before going to the grocery store to buy something, Ruhua had to go to the hotel to explain why she didn't send pig offal today.

On the way to the hotel, Ruhua remembered that she used to read time-travel novels. In the book, it was said that the main character made money from pig offal and thought it was funny. Looking back at her current situation, she really made money from pig offal. It’s really interesting!
When they arrived at the hotel, the two parties were old acquaintances, so Ruhua simply explained the situation and got the shopkeeper's understanding, and the shopkeeper asked them if they needed help, etc., but Ruhua didn't want to owe any money. Because of the favor of others, he rejected the shopkeeper's kindness.

After coming out of the hotel, Ru Hua hurried to the grocery store, preparing to buy things for the family.

Now life is like the beginning again, we need to go through careful calculation, and if we can save, we should act according to the principle of saving.So this time Ruhua just bought things that the family lacked in the past few days, as for the other things that need to be used, I will wait until later!
Among them, the necessities include a big pot, which is like a flower, and there is no ability to move it, so the only way to do it is to wait for Saburo to come.

It was almost noon when Ruhua saw Sanlang's figure, but Sanlang's complexion was a bit grim!
Ru Hua hurried forward, took San Lang's hand and asked, "San Lang, what's the matter, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Hua'er, we may not be able to recover our things, and as the yamen servant said, it is difficult for us to catch even thieves." Saburo originally wanted to catch the thieves so as to recover some losses, but just now he was full of enthusiasm. But it was wiped out by the yamen servants, so it was inevitable that he was a little discouraged.

Ruhua thought it was something that made Saburo frown!In fact, she had expected this situation a long time ago. If the thief was not a repeat offender, it would be really difficult to catch...

"Sanlang, it's okay, it's been stolen now, let's take care of other things slowly!" Ruhua comforted Saburo instead.

"But, it's Hua'er, aren't you sad?" Saburo mainly considered Ruhua's emotions.Because he was so angry when he saw Ruhua last night, today he wanted to catch the thief so much.

"Hehe, is being angry useful?" Ru Hua basically thought about it, "The best time we are angry is to 'turn grief and anger into strength', first move the iron pot home and then talk about it."

So, Sanlang carried an iron pot, and Ruhua rushed home with a basket on his back.

It happened to be the hottest time of the day when we arrived in the village, around two o'clock in the afternoon.At this time, there were still a few people sitting sporadically under the old locust tree in the corner of the village.

Sitting under the tree to enjoy the shade, saw that it was Sanlang and the two who came, and asked with a smile, "Cheng Sanlang, I went to the yamen in the town today, but is there any progress?"

"No, what big progress can this make? The yamen servant doesn't even take a look at it, so why talk about progress!" San Lang said in a sighing tone.

"Hey! That's right!" The person enjoying the shade under the tree also had a very regretful expression, "Our Shaoyao Village has been stable for many years, but we never expected to encounter such a thing. I said, don't be too sad, both of you, Earn what you lost and get it back.”

Ruhua also knew that this was comforting the two of them, so she continued, "Yes! Thank you, Aunt Cai, for your comfort. We still know about this."
