Natural disasters at the beginning, widows take space to raise cubs and get rich

Chapter 8
As for Xia Yu, his son is eight years old, but he is still studying in the town.

There was no way, Xia Dahai couldn't make any progress after being admitted to Tongsheng, so he could only entrust it to his son.But who would have thought that his son was not as good as him!

But there is no way, Xia Yu has been watched to read since he was a child, and he knows nothing but reading.Besides, even if he wanted to do something else, his family would not like it!
This procrastination and procrastination made him a useless scholar whom the villagers looked down upon.

"Grandmother." Xia Fang put down the package on his back, and greeted Granny Feng first.

Xia Yu also put down the package, but her voice was a little guilty: "Grandma, why did you call us back all of a sudden?"

Although Xia Yu doesn't like reading, he doesn't like going back to the village either, because he feels like sitting on pins and needles every moment at home.Isn't it torture for a person who doesn't like to study and can't learn to be stared at to study hard all day long!

Therefore, even if he spends his family's money to hang out, although he is guilty, he is not as guilty as he is at home.Compared with the two, he would rather stay in the town.

Seeing her two grandchildren come back, a smile finally appeared on Granny Feng's face: "Zi'er, Yu'er, wash your hands and eat first."

There is no rule of not talking when eating in the country, but Mrs. Feng has always been a quiet and serious person, so usually no one talks when eating at home.

When it was almost time to eat, Mrs. Feng put down the bowls and chopsticks, thought it over and said: "That's right, I called you back to tell you that we will leave Xiushui Village tomorrow. You have also seen that our house is not After tossing, it has already collapsed. Earthquakes occur from time to time, so I decided to leave Xiushui Village with the villagers after consideration."

Xia Yu stared blankly at the porridge in the bowl, and said uneasily, "Do we have to leave? Where can we go?"

Xia Fang thought for a while: "I heard that going north is a plain, and it shouldn't be too affected by the earthquake."

Xia Dashan nodded approvingly: "Indeed, besides the damage to the house in an earthquake, if you are close to the mountain, you may encounter landslides." Speaking of this, Xia Dashan couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what happened to the Yue family and the others. "

When Zhou Huiniang heard that her husband mentioned her parents, her expression was not very good.

Her father and mother are in the mountain village, and her father originally made a lot of money by relying on the mountain, but when the natural disaster came, the benefits in the past turned into a fatal harm!
But she can't talk about bringing her parents together, the water thrown by the married woman, her sister-in-law just reprimanded her second daughter-in-law in the morning, so no matter what, she can't be slapped in the face at this moment!

What's more, Zhou Huiniang lowered her head and thought, his parents are fateful, and his father is a hunter, so he should protect his family well.

Xia Dashan's murmur was not loud, only Zhou Huiniang and Xia Huai who were beside him heard it. Mrs. Feng was old, and her ears would not be very sensitive.So she continued in her own words: "Where are we going now don't have to think about it, besides, there is the village chief? Let's get together tonight. I mainly want to count the income in each person's hands. This is about to escape disaster." Naturally, the food and expenses on the road cannot be used by everyone, so my idea is to collect all the money and buy everything that can be bought on the road tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Feng's wise eyes swept over everyone slightly: "What do you think?"

Although it was a question, the tone was beyond doubt.

Although Lao Xia's family has many descendants, they have not yet separated.Mrs. Feng lost her husband in her early years, and it was not easy to bring up her three sons.When her son had a son, although she did not allow the family to be separated, she only collected half of the money earned by the children and grandchildren, and let each family hold the rest in their own hands.

Today is different from the past, if the money is still in their hands, she is afraid that there will be troubles on the road.It's better to keep it in your own hands, wait for the disaster to pass, and then give it to them again.

Hearing Mrs. Feng mentioning the money, all the houses got upset.

Wu Xiaorong couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, her husband is a lazy guy, it's fine if he doesn't take it out of the house, how can he expect him to send money home?

The elders are not very nice, because their family is the main force of spending money.Boss Xia Dahai is only a boy in middle age, he wants to be a teacher, but they don't want to hire him!

So, in the end, he just worked as a bookkeeper in a tavern in the town.Although one month's salary is comparable to Xia Fang, Xia Fang is a teacher and respected by others.

His son Xia Yu married a wife and had children but was still spending money on education, let alone earning money.

Fortunately, Xia Dahai married a good wife, and Zhang Meihua's family was well-off, her brothers were capable, and her parents ran a shop, so her dowry added a lot to this small family.

But no matter how generous the dowry is, it can't stand the fact that there are two scholars in the family. They all say that studying costs money, isn't it costing money? !Anyway, Zhang Meihua's dowry was already used up.

Now that they have to hand over the money in hand to the public, they serve as a big house and set an example.Zhang Meihua also wanted to save face, but she had no money, so how could she save face!

Thinking of this, Zhang Meihua couldn't help but glared at Xia Dahai.

But she didn't procrastinate, and directly took out her small package, took out a piece of stuff wrapped in cloth, and handed it to Mrs. Feng: "Mother, this is what our eldest family needs to hand over to the public."

Granny Feng immediately opened it and saw that it was a pair of gold bracelets, very thin, but gold is valuable!

Seeing the people around all gathered their heads to look at it, Mrs. Feng didn't close it, and let them look at it: "I reckon it's worth a few taels of silver, let this one go to me first, and I'll exchange it when I need it." Then he looked at the second room. .

Xia Dazhuang's face was flushed, and he took out a money bag from his arms, which rattled: "Mother, this, these are saved by me doing odd jobs outside."

The purse was not heavy, so Mrs. Feng opened it for a rough look, then turned it upside down with her hand, and she almost knew how much it was, but she still asked, "There are three hundred coins here, right?"

Xia Dazhuang nodded quickly: "Yes, there are 310 two."

Granny Feng nodded. She knew that Xia Dazhuang would occasionally look for casual work, which only cost about ten cents a day, and she could only keep five cents for half of it.

It would take about two months to save these things, not to mention that they would not spend them.

In the end, there were only three houses left, namely Xia Dashan's family.

Xia Dashan asked his daughter-in-law to get the money when the elder brother and the second brother handed over the public money. At this moment, Zhou Huiniang came over holding the wooden box.

Seeing Zhou Huiniang holding the box, everyone subconsciously stared at the box.

If you want to say who is the richest in Lao Xia's family, it can only be Sanfang.There is no way, my father can make money, so can my son, and there is a family who replenishes food from time to time.

"Mother, our family is here." Xia Dashan handed the box to Granny Feng.

Mrs. Feng did not refuse, and opened it directly for everyone to see.
