Mu Jiaojiao came back just in time to have dinner.

She didn't eat either, and went straight into her room. She first took out the rice noodles in the space, put them away, and then briefly scrubbed them.

Now I have 29 taels of silver and a few copper coins in my hand.

Mu Jiaojiao thought for a moment and decided that she had left a few taels of silver in case something happened.

At the Mu family dinner table, Liu Guifen watched Mu Jiaojiao enter her room in a hurry, and guessed that the ginseng must have been sold. She did not say anything, nor did she go to Mu Jiao immediately after eating. Jiao.

In the kitchen, Song Xiuxiu and Zhang Yun were washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.

"My sister-in-law doesn't know what she is going to do. She comes back so late and she doesn't know if she has eaten. In the past, my sister-in-law had to eat two pancakes at night."

There is a bit of skill in saying this.

Zhang Yun didn't think much about it at first, but when Song Xiuxiu said this, Zhang Yun thought, if Mu Jiaojiao didn't eat when she came back in the evening, did she eat out?Then who gives the money for eating out, not your mother-in-law?

Zhang Yun suddenly became unhappy.

But after Liu Guifen told her last time, she didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she had to finish the brushing by herself, causing water splashes to fly all over the sky.

Song Xiuxiu was surprised to see how calm Zhang Yun was today, "Well, we are all women. My sister-in-law is still lucky, but she is really ignorant. Look at us, who doesn't help us when we are girls at home? Do some work at home?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I have been working at home since early." Although Zhang Yun is an only child and the family conditions are not too bad, she has also started doing housework early.

Later, after marrying Mu Laosan, she also worked in her husband's family and was never idle.

Zhang Yun gritted his teeth, "Who can give me a good father and mother?"

Seeing that Zhang Yun was not persuaded to go find Liu Guifen, Song Xiuxiu felt bored, "Brothers and sisters, you brush first. My head suddenly hurts. I'll go back and rest first."

"Okay, sister-in-law, go ahead." Zhang Yun waved his hand generously.

She never minded this little thing.

Mu Jiaojiao waited until everyone in the yard was quiet before moving the basket into Liu Guifen's room.

Liu Guifen and Mu Yuanqiao looked at the rice noodles, meat, and silver on the kang. Their eyes widened with disbelief and shock. It seemed that they did not expect that their daughter could actually give out so much money?

This, this is more than their family's savings.

It's really incredible.

"Yao, Yao'er, is this the money you get from selling ginseng?"

Liu Guifen stuttered a little when she spoke.

"Yes, it's all for you. I spent some money on these things. Here are 28 taels of silver."

When Liu Guifen saw these things for the first time, she complained a little about why she bought so many things, but now, she still has 28 taels of silver!There was nothing I could say in an instant.

However, Liu Guifen still had her own opinion. She pushed the money in front of Mu Jiaojiao and said, "Yao'er, you found this ginseng and you sold it. This money is yours. You can save it and use it as a dowry in the future. "

Mu Jiaojiao never thought that Liu Guifen could do this?

Feeling a little moved in my heart, "Don't hold it back, I'm so lavish, maybe I'll have a beautiful girl someday. Otherwise, let's repair the house. It's going to be the rainy season soon."

Liu Guifen thought for a while, then looked at Mu Yuanqiao who had been silent for a long time, obviously waiting for him, the head of the family, to speak.

"Just listen to Yao'er and give the remaining money to Yao'er."

"Old man, how much will it cost to repair our houses?"

Mu Yuanqiao thought for a while, the beams of the house needed to be reinforced, as well as the roof, windows, and labor. The eldest and second eldest brother were at home and could work. He calculated in his mind, "I estimate there are about seven or eight taels." ”

So few?

This made Mu Jiaojiao not think about it. How much did she think she would get?

In this case...

She just made a request, "Mom, can we build another hut to use as a bathing place? It's too inconvenient to take a bath now." Mu Jiaojiao originally thought that Liu Guifen was easy to talk to, but she already mentioned it. Liu Guifen was sure He could agree, but Liu Guifen refused without mercy.

"Just wait until your father makes you a big wooden barrel. Save money and ask your eldest and second brothers to fetch water for you." Liu Guifen still thought about saving money for her daughter's dowry.

Who knows when my daughter will get married, and it won’t be a problem if she doesn’t have any money then.

Mu Jiaojiao died.

Gu Qingzhou walked to Zhou Qingshan's house early in the morning.

He held the cloth bag tightly in his hands.

Then he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

Zhou Feng was having breakfast. When he heard the knock on the door, he went to open the door with a pancake, "Hey, lame, what are you doing here? The autumn wind is coming? Come, I will give you a bite to eat." He said, holding his hand The remaining half of the pancake was handed to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou lowered his head, "I, I'm looking for the village chief."

"Why, why are you asking my father to borrow money? I tell you that I am not the fool like my father. If you don't have money, get out." After saying that, Zhou Feng closed the door with a bang.

Zhou Feng returned to the house, "Who is it?" Zhou Qingshan asked.

"Huzi asked me to go out to play."

As a result, before Zhou Qingshan could sit down, the door was knocked again, "Village Chief..."

Zhou Qingshan heard the voice of Gu Xiaozi. He glared at Zhou Feng, then picked up two pieces of cake and went out.

As soon as he opened the door, Gu Qingzhou was standing outside the door.

"Gu boy, why are you here? Why, you haven't eaten yet. Eat quickly."

With that said, Zhou Qingshan handed the cake to Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou took a step back and said, "Uncle Village Chief, I'm here to pay you back."

After speaking, he took out the cloth bag.

There are 20 taels of silver inside.

Zhou Qingshan held it in his hand, "My child, where did you get the money?" Zhou Qingshan felt that the money was very hot. The child is so young, where did he get so much money? Could he have done something wrong?

Gu Qingzhou could see what Zhou Qingshan was thinking. He explained, "I dug a small ginseng from the mountain and sold it for a little money."

Gu Qingzhou did not tell the truth, nor did he mention Mu Jiaojiao.

This is his protection for her.

Zhou Qingshan smiled and said, "Don't worry about paying back this money. The rainy season is coming soon. You can use it to repair your house. When it rains in your house, it will rain heavily outside and light rain inside."

Gu Qingzhou actually had this plan.

"I, I still have some money. Uncle village chief, I'm leaving first."

After speaking, Gu Qingzhou ran away quickly.

"This child." Zhou Qingshan sighed, took the money and went back to the house. This child is very difficult. He should take more care of him in the future. It is very pitiful for the child to be alone.
