Chapter 35

The nearest town to Qingshui Village is Xiaoling Town.

Although it's not far away, it's the hottest time in midsummer and the sun is at noon. Mother Wen's temples are frosty and her body is thin. She walks hard under the scorching sun, and besides, there is a child like Tang Yibao.

Wen Shan thought for a while and said, "Mother, I remember that Uncle Li's family has a donkey cart, let his donkey cart us to Xiaoling Town."

"Xiaoling Town is not far from us, just walk over there, don't waste that money."

"Mother, it's fine for us to walk, but Yibao is still young, so he can't bask in such a big sun. Also, we'll be back from shopping later, so it's much more convenient to have a donkey cart," Wen Shan said .

Mother Wen saw that she was so caring about the child that she couldn't say anything else, so she came to Uncle Li's house.

When they knocked on the door, Uncle Li was having lunch. Aunt Li thought they were begging for food when she saw them coming in. She hurriedly said, "Sister Wen, why are you here? Our family doesn't cook much for lunch today, so we don't have to borrow it."

When the Wen family was too poor to open the rice, they borrowed rice from Aunt Li once, because it happened to be at noon, and Uncle Li was a solid man, knowing that the Wen family was not easy, so he shared some of the lunch with Mother Wen. .It was also because of this that Aunt Li went around talking about their family's food, and even went to the Zhang family, saying that the Zhang family didn't care about the life and death of the grandson's family, and they didn't want to face, and asked the grandson's family to go to them to beg for food.

Mrs. Yang came to scold Wen's mother for this matter.

"Uncle San, we are here to hire your donkey cart to go to Xiaoling Town." Ignoring Aunt Li, Wen Shan said to Uncle Li.

"Hire our donkey cart, can you afford it? Our donkey cart is comfortable for everyone to get in and out of, but we bought a new sedan chair with wooden boards to keep out the wind and rain. It's not the donkey you would sit on when you got married. car."

When Wen Shan got married, the donkey cart was just a cart, and it was empty on all sides. It was really shabby.

Wen Shan didn't take this matter to heart, but they came to do business for others, and they had to suffer such insults. Just as Wen Shan wanted to retort, Tang Qingshu took out a tael of silver from the money bag and dangled it in front of Aunt Li.

"enough?"

Uncle Li’s family’s donkey car only costs three copper coins when people go out. Ever since Aunt Li spent money to buy a new sedan chair, she mentioned fifteen copper coins per person. It’s so expensive that no one in the village is willing to sit Their donkey cart.

Aunt Li, who was open to money, saw a tael of silver, and snatched the silver without saying a word, smiling from ear to ear, "Enough, of course it is enough. Son, father, what are you still doing in a daze, go and get the donkey cart." Come out and drive them to Xiaoling Town!"

"But I haven't had lunch yet."

"What to eat, money matters!"

Third Uncle Li was half-pushed by Aunt Li and pushed out the door. When Uncle Li went to lead the donkey cart, Third Aunt Li politely said, "Sister Wen, Shan Niang, have you had lunch yet? Why don't you eat at my place?"

"No, let's go out to eat." Wen Shan refused.

When Third Aunt Li heard this, she rolled her eyes calculatedly, and sized up the group of them, seeing that they were so poorly dressed, yet they had enough money to go to Xiaoling Town for dinner.

Where did you get rich?
But it seems that he has also made a fortune, but it doesn't feel bad at all to give a tael of silver.

No matter what Aunt Li was thinking, Wen Shan and the others had already left the door to wait for Uncle Li to drive the donkey cart.

Mother Wen said with a choked voice: "Last time I came to their house to borrow some rice, and she scolded me for being shameless and going around for food. Today she asked us to have dinner at her house by herself. Poor people are really bullied everywhere..."
