"Brother, don't be impulsive. I think his clothes are worth a few taels of silver. Take off the clothes first and then fight." Wan Si'er stopped his eldest brother, looked at Liu Fushun's satin clothes, and took it off.
"Oh, this jade pendant is not bad, let's pawn it." Wan Si'er said happily, holding the jade pendant in his arms.
Poor Liu Fushun's clothes were forcibly torn off, and he was only wearing a middle coat. He covered his nose with his hand to bear the pain. He watched Wan Si'er put away the jade pendant, but he dared not speak out in anger.
"Brother, fourth brother, don't fight. I know I was wrong." Liu Fushun looked at Wan Datou's raised fist and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Isn't it just a hundred and ten taels of silver? I just need to pay it back. Did you see that little girl just now? She is my sweetheart." Liu Fushun made nonsense.
Wan Datou and the other two looked at Liu Fushun suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. They took a look at it from a distance and found that the little girl looked good and had the sign of water spirit.
"You kid, let it go quickly, what are you planning to do?"
"You don't know, she is a well-known female doctor in Ping'an Town. She has a pretty face. When she grows up, she will definitely be more beautiful than the top girl in Wanhua Tower." Liu Fushun looked at Wan Datou and Wan Si'er, Xiao Ming came up with the idea.
~~
"You kid, why did you buy such an expensive bracelet?" Ms. Song stroked the gold bracelet, feeling happy and excited at the same time. Her eyes were wet. The gold bracelet looked a little dazzling, and she blamed Xiao Ming for being messy. Come spend money.
The Song family used to have some jewelry, but unfortunately life has not been easy these years, and they have been pawnbroking one after another, and now they don't even have any decent jewelry.
"Godmother, come and take me with you." Xiao Ming said. She knew that although her godmother was blaming her, she was happy in her heart.
Xiao Ming put on a bracelet for her godmother. The size was just right and she said happily: "My godmother is so beautiful."
"You are already a lot older, how can you still be beautiful?" Ms. Song laughed and uncomfortably put the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears. Now that her hair has been maintained over the past few days, and there is no more worry in life, The gray hair has gradually decreased, the wrinkles on her face have decreased, and she looks much younger. Her smile still has charm. She is in her forties, and her beauty is still the same as before.
He glanced at Xiao Ming angrily, but finally accepted it, and told her: "Don't buy these in the future. My godmother doesn't like it. She keeps the money as a dowry, you know."
"I know, godmother." Xiao Ming said, not taking it seriously. Now the family is not short of this little money. All the money she earns is kept in her space. She has never counted it. There is not much. A few thousand taels is still some.
Qionghualou bought two carts of vegetables, earning nearly twenty taels of silver every day. The newly picked chrysanthemum tea in the yard and the fruits that were about to be harvested in the orchard would all be turned into silver. She was too lazy to calculate how much it would be. .
When leaving Qionghua Building today, Kong Lin gave another two hundred taels of silver as a deposit for the chrysanthemum tea. Xiao Ming took out the silver note, put it in Mrs. Song's hand, and said, "Goddess, this is from Brother Kong Lin." You keep the deposit for the chrysanthemum tea for household purposes."
"How can I use so much? How many taels do I still have in my hand?" Mrs. Song was shocked by the two hundred taels of silver in her hand. She just felt that it was extremely hot. No matter what the family needed or lacked, Xiao Han went to collect it every day. She didn't need any household money that she brought back. Besides, Xiao Ming would give her a few taels of silver every half month, but she never used it. She didn't have to leave the village every day, so there was no place to use the money.
She is satisfied with her current life, has no worries and worries, has enough food and clothing, and saves her money penny by penny to add to Xiao Ming's fortune when she gets married.
"Godmother, you can keep it and buy whatever you like. You are our godmother, and we should respect you." Xiao Ming said, it is natural for younger generations to respect their elders.
"You kid." Xiao Ming's persistence moved Mrs. Song to accept the money.
"My godmother is here to enjoy the blessings with you."
"From now on, I will give each of Yunling and Tiandong one tael of silver each month. They are still too young, so please save it for them first." Although Xiao Ming had the deed of betrayal in hand, she did not want to treat her badly. got them.
"You are still thoughtful." Mrs. Song sighed, how many masters can treat two children like this, provide them with good food and drink, send them to school, and now they have to pay monthly money.
"Since they come to our home, they are members of our family. We shouldn't treat them badly. Hey, where is the Yunling? Why didn't you see her when you came back?" Xiao Ming asked, Tiandong followed Xiao Han. In the town, Song and Yunling were the only ones at home, and they hadn't seen Yunling for so long since they came back.
"Her!" When she said Wang Yunling, Mrs. Song started laughing.
"Yunling learned how to read in the morning and went to the orchard to take care of medicinal materials. Last night, Yu'er said she wanted to eat crayfish. After her lunch on the road test, she went to the river to catch crayfish in the sun. I couldn't pull her in. . "This child is so diligent. He is obedient and sensible at a young age, and he can endure hardships and work like an adult."
Mrs. Song looked at the sky and said, "Looking at the day, it's almost time to come back."
"I'll go check on her." Xiao Ming said as she stood up and walked out. When she came back, no one was found by the river.
Sure enough, when Xiao Ming went out, she saw Wang Yunling coming back in advance carrying a wooden bucket. However, her clothes were soaked and she was covered in mud, as if she had fallen into the water. There were two crayfish in the bucket she was carrying, listlessly. Lying on his stomach, he didn’t even know where the fishing rod had fallen.
"Yunling, what's wrong with you? You're covered in water." Xiao Ming watched the water on her clothes fall drop by drop, and couldn't help asking worriedly, could it be that she fell into the river.
Wang Yunling stood alone in front of Xiao Ming with a bucket, her wet clothes clinging to her body, water drops falling drop by drop, her bun was messed up, and dew was staining her face. She was indescribable embarrassment, and her eyes were wet because of the water. I couldn't open my eyes because of the tears, I don't know if it was the tears or the river water.
"Aunt, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell into the river." Wang Yunling held back the tears in her eyes, wiped her face, and pretended to be nonchalant.
"Then you go back and wash up quickly, take a hot bath, don't catch a cold." Xiao Ming said quickly, and pulled her into the house again.
"What's going on? She's covered in water." Mrs. Song exclaimed when she saw Wang Yunling's appearance. She quickly stood up and pulled her to see if she was injured. After confirming that she was intact, she couldn't help but pull Wang Yunling to the bathroom.
"Hurry up and take a shower with me. You'll suffer if you catch a cold."
Now that the weather was hot, there was no hot water at home, so she had to light a new fire to boil water. Fortunately, Mrs. Song was quick at work and had enough firewood at home, so she boiled a pot of hot water for her to soak in a short time.
Xiao Ming looked at the motionless crayfish lying in the barrel and said nothing. She picked up three more bags of snacks brought back from Pingcheng with a silver hairpin and went out.
