"Tian Dong went over to ask what happened."

"Yes."

After Tiandong left, Shunxi and others carried all the sheep, cattle, woolen materials and other items onto the car.The harvest was quite fruitful. With so much stuff distributed to Dong Cheng and his family, there was no need to buy the meat this year.

Not long after, Tiandong came back, bowed his hands and said:

"Madam, the parents of the three children are waiting for life-saving medicine, and the five sheep want to be exchanged for medicine or silver."

As for why they were staring at them, it was naturally because they saw that their family had a big business and could afford a lot of money.

Before Cheng Xue could speak, Li Tian tugged on his mother's sleeve and said:
"Mom, I want to help that little brother, can you lend me some money?"

"And me, and me, and I'm with the second sister." Li Huai hurriedly agreed.

Li Yue didn't say anything. He took out his purse from his waist and poured out the five taels of silver contained in it.

"It shouldn't be enough. Mom, please give me some more."

Seeing the hostess nodding, Bai Wei took out all the remaining silver, including the one in Li Yue's hand, totaling 20 taels.At today's barter price, you can buy more than five dead sheep than before.But this is life-saving money for the child's parents, so it cannot be compared.

Li Tian snatched the purse from Bai Wei's hand, held Li Huai, and skipped over.Bai Shu was worried and followed closely to protect his siblings.

Although there is a language barrier between the two parties, the children have their own unique way of communicating.In the end, the three and a half-year-old children collected their purses, saluted Li Tian and Li Huai in various ways, and finally ran to Cheng Xue, knelt down and kowtowed.This money is a lot of money for them. After using it, they can not only cure their parents' illness, but also use the remaining money to supplement their family income.

Shunxi and Shuangxi went over to carry the sheep, and their three children helped. They didn't stop until they reached the border defense line.Cheng Xue called over a soldier who could speak Beiqi and spoke some positive and encouraging words as parting words.The children saluted again, and then Cheng Xue got on the carriage.

Returning to the back house of the government office, everyone looked at the things in front of them and grinned happily.

So much meat was decomposed and put into the tank to be eaten slowly in the future.

Set aside the part you need at home, and the rest is for Wanghe Village.This job was left to Tiandong and Bai Wei, who transported them back to Wanghe Village. Cheng Xue wrote down the names of the families to prevent them from making mistakes.

When Bai Wei heard about this arrangement, she refused to agree to anything.Looking at the hostess who was writing furiously with her head down, she kept drafting in her mind, preparing to ask her to change her mind later.

Finally, Cheng Xue put down her brush and squatted in front of the table——

"Madam, I really can't leave. Dexi and the others are not at home. If I leave with Tiandong again, I will be left alone with Baizhu himself, who will not be able to protect our family."

Cheng Xue dried the ink, folded it carefully, and said:
"We're not going out, so there's nothing we can't protect. Besides, Wentian is in Huwei Mountain. If I really need to, I can ask Shunxi to go up the mountain to find him. What's more, it's winter now, and the master and the others should be back soon. You guys The two of us drive there as quickly as possible, and it will be done in less than a month."

"But……"

Cheng Xue ignored her "but" and ordered to Bai Shu:

"Go and talk to the young ladies and young gentlemen, and ask them to write letters to my uncle and grandpa to say hello, and wish them a happy birthday in advance."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bai Shu went out and closed the door, and in an instant they were the only ones left in the room.

"Xiao Ni'er, it's just you and me in the room now. I won't beat around the bush. I want to promise you to Tiandong. Do you think that's okay?"

What? !Bai Wei was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said timidly:
"Isn't that just a casual mention by Madam? What's more, I am your eldest maid."

"Yes, I did say that, but this does not conflict with your marriage."

Cheng Xue stood up with a smile, pulled her back to sit on the kang, and continued:

"Tiandong is the housekeeper in the house, and you are the maid beside me. The boy is unmarried and the girl is unmarried, what's wrong with that? Of course, if you have your heart, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. But you still have to do this this time If we follow the past, there will be so much meat and wool that even Tiandong himself won’t be worried about it.”

After saying that, Cheng Xue saw that she didn't say anything, tilted her head and asked:
"Do you have a sweetheart? Who do you like? Dexi or Yongxi?"

Bai Wei hurriedly shook her head when she heard this, saying that she was sick and had no sweetheart.Not only no, she had never planned to get married.

"Then you hate Tiandong?"

"No, no. I don't have much contact with Butler Tiandong, so I can't say I'm annoying."

"Xiao Ni'er, you must speak with a conscience. Ever since you came home, I have arranged everything for you to do with Tiandong."

Oops, so there was this arrangement? !

Bai Wei was stunned and then suddenly realized.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say this casually. You and he should take care of the matter of returning to the village first. If you haven't thought about it until you get along, forget it. When you get married, it's about your own will. , if you really don’t like it, then you can’t put it on the shelf, right?”

Bai Wei nodded silently and asked again unsurely:

"Madam, you...really plan to get us all married?"

"It has to be!" Cheng Xue replied without thinking, "If you don't want to get married, then that's a different matter, but if you don't dislike the person I mentioned, and you think it's feasible after getting along for a while, then why not get married?"

"You mean we can get along on our own?"

"Yes, it's okay. Except for the fact that your body contract can't be paid back to you, if you want to be your biological son, it's okay."

Such a frank sentence immediately made Bai Wei's nose sore and her eyes sore, and tears burst out of her eyes instantly.

"Ouch, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, no." The little girl shook her head in a tearful voice and sobbed on her knees.

When Cheng Xue saw this, she was no longer anxious. She gently stroked her back and said:
"You are only seven or eight years older than my eldest daughter. In my eyes, you are all children. Once a person walks through the world, the most undeterminable thing is his or her origin. Putting this factor aside, how do you want to live your life? Whatever arrangements you want to make, that's all your own business. Letting you get married is also for the future of the Li family. I want to use people who have no second thoughts, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future. "

Bai Wei didn't respond, but hugged her calf and nodded heavily.

I have been in the Wolf Cave since I can remember, and it is not easy to get to where I am today.She felt like she had exhausted all the good luck in her life to be able to come to the Li family to work together. She didn't expect that the master's family would be so generous and would make arrangements for their future.

Who doesn’t want to have company, who doesn’t want to have a family?People like them, who have been through life and death, yearn for stability, solidity, and home most.She didn't hate Tiandong, but it was too early to say she liked him. Now that her master was sincerely negotiating with her, she decided to give it a try.

If it works, tell Baizhu and Dexi that they came to the right place...
