Chapter 41 Counting Money Late at Night
late at night.

He Lanshan slept with Zhao Shuangxi, and now when He Jinyi returned home, the three of them slept together. To avoid embarrassment, He Lanshan rolled to the side next to the wall and fell asleep.

In order to avoid affecting their work, she snored lightly in advance, so that the young couple would feel that they were asleep.

"Brother Yi~" Zhao Shuangxi called out affectionately.

He Lanshan's scalp was numb, and she felt fortunate that she had pretended to be asleep, otherwise it would be embarrassing to let them know that she was still awake.

With her back to them, Zhao Shuangxi spread her hands into her lapel, and she took out a bulging money bag from her bosom, which was also quite heavy, weighing almost a catty, "Here is 15 taels of silver, I never I have never seen so much silver, is this really ours?"

He Lanshan breathed out speechlessly, it turned out that the couple waited until they fell asleep before counting the money.

Zhao Shuangxi sat cross-legged with He Jinyi, and she counted the coins one by one, exactly the same amount.

"It's all thanks to the decline. We got a good daughter for nothing." He Jinyi looked at the fingers that appeared on his hand intact, and said with emotion, "Shuangxi, you and your child have suffered in the past, and it won't happen in the future."

When Zhao Shuangxi said this, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the light in her eyes flickered under the oil lamp. Thinking about what happened today, Qin Feng was beaten for drinking, and she suddenly felt her chest was suffocating.

"What's wrong?" He Jinyi nervously helped her out.

"Brother Yi, as long as you live under mother's nose, you'll have to suffer. Why don't we build a house and a place to live? If we separate, we'll be clean." Zhao Shuangxi grabbed the money in his hand, " Now that the autumn harvest is over and everyone is idle at home, hire some people to help."

Generally, two or three taels of silver are enough to set up a house in the village.

For example, the village head's house with green bricks and small tiles cost more than a dozen taels of silver. With two rows of houses like He's, three sons could live there after marrying wives and having children, but it was only six or seven taels of silver.

Zhao Shuangxi had planned everything, and He Jinyi nodded, "It's all according to your wishes."

"But we can't take all of these 15 taels of silver. We can't cover up the matter of selling mad dog brains in the county. Why don't you take seven taels of silver to buy materials tomorrow, and I'll let Lanshan and Ah Zheng go and give them to you." Xiao Lang from the Gu family sent Ba Liang to him, at least he was the one who called this mad dog."

Thinking of giving away eight taels of silver, Zhao Shuangxi didn't feel sorry for her, but after all, he had done him a great favor, so how could he be stingy here!

"I listen to you, go to sleep and go to sleep."

Early the next morning, He Jinyi took the money and went to drive the ox cart, and by the way, he was going to quit his job.Naturally, with his hands like this, he couldn't be a husband, nor could he delay the work of the restaurant.

When Zhao Shuangxi got up, he cooked porridge for the children with a small clay stove and clay pots.

When the family was separated, they shared three hundred catties of rice, but now they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. She grabbed a handful of rice and cooked it, and the porridge that came out was thick.

Just as the Erfang family was getting together to drink porridge, the door was kicked open with a "snap".

Standing outside the door was Mrs. He who squinted her eyes. Her eyes glanced over their porridge, and she clicked her tongue a few times and said, "Oh, I'm really willing to eat it. I said Mrs. Zhao, you are so disgusting You know how to run a house, so don’t come to our house to beg for food after eating.”

"Mother, this is not the time to separate the families. Mother said that the sweet potatoes should be kept to feed the pigs, so they will not be shared with us!" Zhao Shuangxi swallowed the porridge in the bowl in twos and looked at Mr. He indifferently. too.

How dare she talk back like a little girl, Mrs. He was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

After being angry for a while, she remembered the important thing she came here, and Mrs. He's anger subsided, knowing that after the separation, she would have nothing to do with Zhao Shuangxi.

"The pigs in the house need to be fed by others, so you guys go to kill pigweed for me." She pointed at He Lanshan and the others, still looking aloof and superior to the head of the family.

He Lanshan and her brothers looked at each other, and saw that they expressed the same meaning.

Ignore her and drink porridge!
"Little bastards, listen to me. I'm your grandma, and you have the blood of my He family flowing on your body. If I want you to go east, you go east. If I tell you to go west, go west." Mrs. He said After a while, he really jumped, panting heavily.

Zhao Shuangxi was afraid that she would get angry, so he had no choice but to answer her, "Mom, now that we are separated, the children have to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables, otherwise the little food at home will not be able to bear it."

This statement is reasonable, even if the old lady He went out and said that the sky was turned upside down, no one would say that the second wife was wrong.

Mrs. He took a few deep breaths and her chest heaved several times.

She pulled out a stiff smile, "Success, you will do all the work at home, and I will give each of you a sweet potato the size of a fist a day."

Zhao Shuangxi was moved. If half of the money was given to Gu Liuyun, the remaining half of the house would be gone once it was built.The family can't eat rice all at once, sweet potatoes are very hungry, she wants it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with doing the housework every day.

She was afraid that the children would be wronged, so she looked at the children.

"Mother, I'll take my younger siblings to hunt pigweed." He Qinfeng is the eldest son and the oldest, so of course he knows what Zhao Shuangxi is thinking.

He Lanshan and the others naturally had no objections.

Zhao Shuangxi made a request to Old Madam He, "Mother, can you borrow us the kitchen?"

Mrs. He's eyelids trembled, but she agreed to borrow them, but she made a lot of requests, and they were not allowed to use the firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Zhao Shuangxi could only use it after they had finished eating.

But this is also good, at least Erfang can boil hot water to wipe his body, otherwise the little hot water in the clay pot can at most wipe his body.

When the children were about to go out to hunt pigweed, Zhao Shuangxi gave the money bag to He Lanshan. He Jinyi had already taken seven taels to go to the county town, and there was still eight taels of silver left over here.

"Take this to Liu Yun."

"Mother, elder brother Liuyun is so nice, he probably wouldn't want it." He Lanshan heard what Zhao Shuangxi and He Jinyi said last night, so there was nothing strange about it.

Based on what she knew about Gu Liuyun, he had no idea about money, if he sent three roast chickens over, he would definitely accept them all.

"Whether people take it or not is his business, but we can't all keep the money in the dark, you and Ah Zheng go to give it away, you must keep the money well, and you must not lose it." Zhao Shuangxi warned ten thousand Said enjoiningly.

This is eight taels of silver. I thought about going there in person, but I promised Mrs. Zhao to do the housework. Who knew that I left a lot of work for myself, and maybe I might not finish it when it gets dark.

"Okay." He Lanshan could only nod in agreement.
