Nongmenfu girl's daily life

Chapter 595 Grandma is in the capital

White flowers, golden!
In the light of the firewood... it seemed to be shining.

Yuan Ying stretched out her hand tremblingly, and picked up a 20 tael gold ingot.

It is very heavy to start with.

is weighty.

It was as if all her energy had been drawn out of her whole body, she let go of her hand, and the gold ingot fell to the ground and rolled in a circle.

"Mother, there are a total of 620 taels here."

"So much... all sent back by your father?" What did the husband do, how did he get so much money.

She was worried about her husband, and she also asked about the soldiers in the same village. Most of them revealed in their letters that they were assigned to the night watch team or the fire-burning team.

But her husband never revealed what team he was in.

She asked those women to write to their sons and husbands, asking them, where is Gu Shiro in her family, and how is it recently?
But in those replies, they either said they didn't know, or they faltered, saying it was fine, don't worry, but they didn't say where the points were.

At that time, the mother-in-law said that her husband only sent back a few copper coins every month. She thought that her husband was bullied in the military camp, and the money might be used to honor others, and life was very difficult.

But now...

Seeing so much gold and silver, she seemed to understand something.

The husband may be assigned to the most dangerous squad, the vanguard and the like, who are sent to die before the battle.

But this kind of military pay is higher than that of other soldiers. In order to earn more money, the husband will endure all kinds of hardships and work hard to earn money.

I remember the night he left, he whispered in his ear: "I will let you and the children live a good life. For the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, being a soldier is a bad thing, but for me, maybe It's a good thing, maybe there will be a chance to make a difference."

He is indeed promising. In three years, he has earned so much money.

However, the mother-in-law kept everything secret. The life of her and the five children did not improve because of the money her husband earned from working hard outside. On the contrary, she was even more miserable and poor than when her husband was at home.

"They hid the news of your father's death for the money, right?" Yuan Ying was not stupid, but on weekdays, she didn't want to think about it, and was afraid to think about it too much, and those things all came true.

"Yes, part of it was sent back by my father in the past three years, part of it is the pension that was sent back with the ashes this time, and part...is the proceeds from selling the house and land."

"Sell the house? Sell the land?"

"The second aunt and the third aunt have been acting suspiciously these days. I followed them and found out that they were selling houses and land. It was also because I followed them that I knew that my father was gone. I thought, if I hadn't followed them, I would have waited for them to clean up It’s almost there, and it will leave the village without a trace in a few days, and we can’t find it even if we try to find it.”

"They..." Yuan Ying lowered her eyes, was silent for a long time, and said hoarsely, "Big Head, shall we leave the village too?"

The big head looked at the gold and silver on the ground, hesitated for a moment: "Mother, I have no objection, but... where can we go?"

Yuan Ying clenched her fists, as if struggling, but finally said, "Go to the capital and find your grandma."

"Grandma?" Datou was surprised.

Isn't his grandmother in Shuishan Village next door?
The big head doesn't like his grandma, she is an old lady with bound feet, she is more bitter and mean than the old lady.

"Your current grandma is not my own mother. This is placed in a rich family. I probably call her a aunt, and my mother is an aunt. Back then, my father picked up a woman on the mountain and brought him back to the village. At that time, my aunt Pregnant, my father was not a good person, he was a rascal when he was young, he spoiled the girl he picked up from the mountain, locked her in the woodshed, and regarded her as his property."
