Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 53: Can a big grudge be careless?

When He Jiuniang returned to Anping Village, the sun was almost setting. Mainly because there were too many things today, it was already late when she went to the county seat, and she had been delayed for so long.

The Lu family has long been worried. Logically speaking, Anping Village is not very far from the county seat, and He Jiuniang went there on horseback. She should be back soon. Why is it so late?

"Sister-in-law three, are you okay?"

Lu Guilan was the first to greet him, with worry on his face.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

He Jiuniang waved her hand and went in with Lu Guilan. When she saw Sun's sullen face, she knew that the little old lady must be angry again, so she wanted to comfort her first.

"You still want to come back!"

As soon as she approached, before she could speak, Sun spoke first, her voice full of accusations and dissatisfaction. .

He Jiuniang walked over with a smile and took her arm shamelessly: "Mom, I made money today!"

With that said, she took out the money bag that Master gave her and put it in Sun's hand.

"what happened?"

The little old lady felt something was wrong at first sight. How could she make money just by going out?

Suddenly he was no longer angry with Qiao, and looked at her nervously.

He Jiuniang knew that the little old lady was pretending to be angry, but she was actually worried about her, so she said: "Today I helped the government catch two gangsters, and the county magistrate rewarded me! How about it, am I good? "

"What a bastard! You're a woman and you're trying to catch a bastard like someone else? Take care of your own life!"

Sun slapped her hand away, opened the money bag and saw that it was 20 taels, so she took ten taels, and then threw the money bag to her: "Keep the rest for yourself!"

He Jiuniang knew that the little old lady still cared about her, so she did not refuse and said, "That's okay. I'll take Xiao Huzi and the others to the county town in a few days to buy some pens, inks, paper, and inkstones... Oh, by the way, I forgot. Let me tell you, I went to the county today and found a school for Leizi, Jiezi and Xiaohuzi to study in. I have paid all the necessary training and will just send the children to the school in seven days. I heard that the gentleman taught them very well! "

He Jiuniang took a sip of water. She had been busy all day and didn't have time to drink water. She was really thirsty.

Lu Guilan thought she had heard wrongly and asked: "Third, third sister-in-law, are you saying that my tiger son can also go to school?"

"Yes, Xiao Huzi is at the right age for enlightenment, so we sent him along."

He Jiuniang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She thought Lu Guilan was unwilling to send her children to study, so she advised: "Little sister, children's study is a big deal. If you study and practice calligraphy, even if you don't rely on function in the future, you will be more successful than ordinary people in the future. , at least you won't be fooled easily, you can't..."

"No!" Lu Guilan knew that she had misunderstood and hurriedly interrupted her, "I just feel that sister-in-law, you are too kind to me. Huzi can go to school at such a young age, but your little puppy did not go."

As he said this, Lu Guilan was moved to tears. Yu and Qin did not expect that He Jiuniang would settle the matter so quickly. They thought they would have to wait until the house was built and everything was arranged before considering it.

"Gou'er is young, and the school only accepts children as young as four years old. This is why I didn't sign up Gou'er and Xiao Liangzi." He Jiuniang said, deliberately glancing at Shen, not wanting her to misunderstand.

Shen actually didn't think about this. The relationship between her family and the Lu family was not that close. They were the sister-in-law's natal family, not hers, so she didn't have any dissatisfaction.

But she didn't expect that the third sister-in-law could explain this to her, and she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

"Hey! Sister-in-law, you are so polite. Our family is very satisfied to be together in peace. Besides, studying will cost a lot of money. Just keep it for the children at home and don't worry about us."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said everything sincerely.

"What are you talking about? If we live together, we will become a family. When the dog and Xiao Liangzi reach age next year, we will send them together."

He Jiuniang also smiled sincerely. She was helping the Zhang family not because of her bad intentions, but because she thought that she was about to start a business and needed the help of the Zhang brothers. In fact, she wanted their children to go to school to make them accept her. With this kind of love, I will show my sincerity when I help with business in the future.

"Hey, thank you, third sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Shen was so moved that she decided in her heart that from now on, she could do whatever the third sister-in-law asked her to do, and she must repay the third sister-in-law for her kindness!
Sun's face was not very good, she knew that this prodigal woman would cause trouble. Does she know how much it costs to educate a child?

The family does still have some money now, but after building the house and paying the wages, there will definitely not be much left. When the time comes, we still have to support a large family. Where can we come up with so much money?
But He Jiuniang had said it in front of so many people, and she couldn't keep He Jiuniang from coming to the stage, so she said: "Since the children at home are studying, the repair fee for this bundle should still be paid by the middle school. How much silver is the repair fee for the bundle? , I’ll give it to you right now.”

I just took ten taels of silver from He Jiuniang, which should be enough.

He Jiuniang waved her hands repeatedly: "Mom, just keep the money from the father-in-law to build a house and buy fertile land. I still have some money in my hand. Even if I give it as a gift to a few nephews this time, it will be the same as the money from the father-in-law next year." Yes, the family doesn’t have to be so polite.”

The second bedroom and Lu Guilan both looked grateful. He Jiuniang smiled very warmly and said all kinds of nice things, coaxing the sisters-in-law into running around.

Mrs. Sun glared at her without saying anything. She couldn't stand the look of a prodigal woman like her, and she had a lot of resentment.

If you don’t want it, don’t want it, she still cares about the money!

A group of people sat down to eat. It was too late today and there was no time to kill the chickens and fish, so they saved them for tomorrow morning.

After dinner, it was getting dark. Fortunately, this afternoon, the men built the hut. Finally, there was no need to count the stars when sleeping tonight.

He Jiuniang took out a large bundle of oilcloths from her backpack and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, and two brothers-in-law, could you please put these oilcloths on the roof of the thatched shed, tie them with ropes, and then hang down the extra ones, just enough to cover the surrounding areas." When you get up, there will be no air leakage when you sleep at night, so you don’t have to worry about your children getting cold.”

"The third brother and sister are so thoughtful!"

Boss Lu couldn't help but praise, and Sun complained in his heart: How can a big grudge not be considerate?
It was already very late when the men endured the fake injuries on their bodies and went to fix the oilcloth. The family cleaned up and went to bed.

The Lu family has a large family, and they have built three straw sheds in total. Men and women are separated. Boys over four years old sleep with their father, and girls sleep with their mothers. Three-year-olds like Gou'er and Xiao Liangzi naturally sleep with their mothers. sleep.

It was quite comfortable for a big family to sleep in three thatched huts. Mrs. Sun had something to say, so she purposely slept next to her third daughter-in-law, who was a grievance.
