Chapter 24
Cheng Xue remembered conscription, sat up straight and asked:
"Auntie, how did you and uncle arrange for the conscription for your cousins?"

The Yu family has three sons and a daughter. Although all three sons are studying, they have no grades.The eldest, Yu Zhao, is 23 years old. It can be said that all three sons are within the scope of conscription.

Three draws and two draws, Yu Zhao, who is married and has two sons, is definitely going to leave. As for Yu Xuan and Yu Qin, it is estimated that a lottery will have to be drawn.

I'm going to die, I just think about it now.Everything works fine if it's earlier.

Li Hui also realized later, and suddenly realized.

"Auntie, did uncle arrange it? I am doing counting work in the forest farm on the mountain now, and I know the accountant. If necessary, I will help and ask. The two cousins ​​cannot be drafted."

At least not yet!
"Don't worry, your uncle has made all the arrangements. The Wang Juren in the town let go of the word that ten taels of silver is a quota. Originally, the money was to be paid back to you, but now we may have to wait."

Mrs. Liu came here today, one is to ease the relationship, and the other is to inform you that you need to pay back the money and so on.

The 20 taels of silver was given by Li Hui's father back then, and the Yu family lived on this money.Reasonably, it should have been paid back long ago, but for some reason, when it was time to pay back the money, something happened at home, so it had to be delayed until now.

Li Hui was not interested in repaying the money, but it was absolutely impossible to buy a quota for ten taels of silver and not join the army.

It's good that nothing happened, but if something happens and the money is gone, it is estimated that people will not be able to keep it. Even worse, uncle Yu Huai may be implicated.

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to waste time, so he called Li Heng and Li Yue and went straight to the study.

Knowing his intentions, Cheng Xue told Yu Zhao:

"Cousin go home first. If uncle doesn't give the money, stop it quickly. You can't be sure about spending money. If the money is gone, it's no big deal. Uncle can't eat melons. Let your cousin try it first. There is nothing to think about Another way. Auntie, you don’t need to pay back the money, it was given to you by my father.”

"No, one yard is one yard. We will feel sorry if we don't pay back the money, and we must give it."

"Then let's talk about it later."

Yu Zhao didn't agree with spending money at the beginning, but now that his cousin made a point, he hurried home to dissuade her.

When the door closed, Liu let out a long sigh.

"We were also in a hurry to go to the doctor. At that time, Dazhao said that we couldn't spend money, but your uncle and I...we really couldn't bear it."

There is no contraception here. Although there are many births, it is not easy to raise children safely.

Like the dead Yu Shi, Mrs. Liu had several births, but only four remained.

The three sons are all treasures, otherwise they couldn't all be sent to study.

It's a pity that luck made people fool, and no one read it out.

Cheng Xue knew that it would be futile to say anything at this moment, so she could only go out to boil water and make tea to buffer each other.

When I came back to see her coaxing the two little guys to play, I suddenly felt that it was nice to have an old man at home.

Of course, this old man is the kind who can help out.If it is relying on the old to sell the old, picking and choosing, then it is better to have nothing.

"Auntie, don't hold four eggs, he is getting old now."

It is a lot of meat. "Liu Shi laughed and agreed, "Can you still feed it now?" "

"I can't feed him anymore. He was cut off when he was in June for eight days. Now he mainly eats vegetable porridge or egg yolk porridge. Two teeth have grown. Did auntie see?"

"I see, Xiaozhimaya, it's fun to smile."

After finishing speaking, Liu took a sip of tea, looked at the things on the lid of the box and said:

"I know you two have a good life, but this gift is too generous, I really don't need it."

"Both of us deserve what we deserve. Aunt and uncle are dedicated to us, and we are ungrateful and hurt your heart. It's really wrong."

"If you can think that way, my aunt will be at ease. You don't know, the two of you haven't visited the house for more than half a year, and I'm feeling very upset. Your uncle doesn't say anything, but I can see that he misses you."

Cheng Xue hugged Li Tian and rubbed against Liu Shi. For some reason, as long as she was next to her, she felt very at ease...

……

Not long after Li Hui drove to town with the ledger, Yu Zhao, his son, and Yu Wan came.

If Li Tian and Li Huai were not sleeping on the kang, Yu Huai would have scolded Cheng Xue.

Although it was a picked child, he loved her as his own niece.His elder sister and brother-in-law have only one child. He originally thought that this girl could be a daughter and marry into Yu's family, but he didn't expect that she would end up with her nephew.

It's okay, the two children are hurting together, but...

Cheng Xue also saw that Yu Huai was not feeling well, so she pushed the teacup over and said solemnly:
"Uncle wants to scold, just scold me, but if he is really angry, he hits me twice. I was deceived by lard that day, and I will never do it again."

"Whatever you want to fight, don't talk nonsense, your uncle is willing to do it!" Liu said in a hurry, "What's more, you are sick now, and your uncle won't be able to worry about it in time."

Mentioning her illness, Yu Huai sighed and asked:

"How is your body now, is there any discomfort?"

"No, it's much better, but my husband is worried and insists on taking me to the county to have a look."

"You are his wife, so he should do this." Yu Huai took out 20 taels of silver and put it on the table, and said, "Take it and go to the county to see a doctor."

"Father, you..."

"Uncle?!" Cheng Xue was also dumbfounded.

She knows the situation of Yu's family very well, and 20 taels of silver can be said to have emptied the family's wealth over the years.Give it all to her, and ignore the conscription of the two children?
Yu Wan sighed and explained:

"My mother and my cousin don't know that the person my father is looking for is a scammer, and many people have been cheated by him. If my father hadn't been careful and personally took the money to Wang Juren, they would not have known that there was such a thing." thing.

Now Wang Juren has gone to the county to report to the officials, and it is said that he is looking for someone to arrest the fraudster.The patriarchs of our village were all deceived.He saved half his life's money, and there was nothing left, and his three sons had to be drafted into the army. "

"what?!"

Liu-shi exclaimed, staggering, if she hadn't been on the kang, she would have fallen.

Yu Zhao looked distressed, and hurriedly comforted:

"Mother, don't worry, if you enlist in the army, you will be recruited. I have two sons. I will protect Yu Xuan well, so mother must not get angry."

Yes, this consolation is worse than no consolation!

"Don't worry, Auntie. There is also my husband. They have a lot of things to do over there, and they just need someone who can read and write."

"But your cousin's abilities are mediocre!" Mrs. Liu was really anxious.

As long as the son has half the ability of the nephew, it is not possible to study for so many years and still work at home.

It is said that studying depends on hard work, but if a person does not have the root of wisdom, hard work alone is not enough.

Yu Huai was also troubled, but what could happen now, he could only take one step at a time.

"Okay, okay, let's see what Brother Hui is like. If it doesn't work...it's fate, we have to accept our fate."

Upon hearing her husband's words, Liu threw herself into his arms in grief, sobbing softly.

The two children sleeping soundly on the kang looked calm, obviously out of tune with the current atmosphere at home...
