Chapter 413
Two women came forward to help Tong Xiaowu get things, one of them was Zhang Ruomei, and Tong Xiaowu didn't know the other, but she knew that this woman was a family member of the family who had sacrificed a soldier.

Back home, Tong Xiaowu was really tired and angry. For such a village, she really could only describe it as speechless.

At this time, she was really glad that she was reborn in Shuishan Village, Nanzhou. Even if there was such a wonderful thing as the Feng family, at least the head of the village and the people in the village were reasonable, and their hearts were upright, which was many times stronger than here.

Looking at this mountain village again, it really makes people feel hopeless.

One by one, it was as if they were paralyzed by living in a depressive environment.

Back in the house, Tong Xiaowu sat in front of the table without saying a word, Bichen saw that something was wrong, and quietly went to organize things.

And Zhang Ruomei's family of three stood in the room, watching Tong Xiaowu secretly, not knowing what to do.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and find the mayor, or you won't be able to get your brother's funeral expenses..." Tong Xiaowu said coldly, she really didn't want to talk to Mrs. Zhang right now.

She knew that it was not easy for her to be a widow, and she was always cautious in doing things, afraid of offending others, but... But, she still felt very angry.

"Then, then I'll go first, and I'll come back later..." Mrs. Zhang suddenly bowed her head to Tong Xiaowu, and then left.

Xiaolan and Xiaohu came up and said:
"Auntie, don't be angry with my mother. I had a quarrel with my mother last night. My sister, Daming and I went to the town to rescue you last night. But when we got there, we found out that someone was worse than us. One step too early.

It's the person who called you sister-in-law. We saw that you were in no danger, so we came back. Auntie, we are not ungrateful people! "

If it is said that all disappointment is the gloomy heart, at this moment, Tong Xiaowu had hope in front of her eyes, and the silent touch made her nose sore, she looked at the two children in front of her in disbelief, and asked Said, "Did you go to the town to rescue me last night?"

"Well, my sister and I and Daming!" Xiaohu said, "When we went to the town hall, there were many people there. The three of us secretly hid at the door and listened for a long time. That Captain Jia is your relative. He And wounded the patrolman, we all saw it!"

Tong Xiaowu nodded heavily, stretched out her hand and pulled the two children in front of her eyes, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, "Do you know? I don't cry easily, and you are not afraid of danger. How can you go to the town in the middle of the night? It's so far away... "

Bichen looked back at the three of them, but she didn't expect that the children were much better than the adults in this village, and they were all sensible.

"Auntie, I've made up my mind. I've seen the cage in Zhenting. The lock is easy to pry, as long as there is an iron rod. After we pry the lock, we will take you out of this broken place. Let's go outside the customs, Xijiang Some places are quite good, we Xuanyuan people can earn money doing business there, even selling salt can support a family."

Tong Xiaowu laughed when she heard this, but Xiaolan on the other side burst into tears. She stepped forward and hit Xiaohu, "Do you really want to separate the family? Don't care about your mother! She will definitely be worried to death."

Xiaolan didn't expect that Xiaohu would want to take Aunt Dong to the outside of the customs. At that time, she thought it would be enough to save her, but she didn't expect him to think so far.

Tong Xiaowu stroked Xiaolan's hair, and comforted her, "Don't worry, am I fine? Your family doesn't need to be separated. If you work hard, you can make progress in Xuanyuan. As long as you work hard, you will live a happy life." !"

"En!" Xiaolan nodded heavily.

Xiaohu also nodded and smiled happily.

Bichen couldn't help nagging while tidying up things: "This Aunt Li is really too much, she is quite old, and she still does such shameless things."

"She often does this. People in the village are very careful about her. Whoever's house she visits is worried..." Xiaolan said.

"Okay, everyone has been arrested, so what are you talking about?" It would be ugly to be caught in the county government office at her age, so Tong Xiaowu didn't care so much, "Bichen, let's make something to eat, I'm really hungry !"

From noon yesterday until now, she has been so hungry. Fortunately, she has been in good health, so she can persist until now.

"Okay, lady, you wait..."

Bichen started cooking, and the two children also went back. Tong Xiaowu was so tired that she went to bed and fell asleep after a while.

She fell asleep very soundly this time, and she didn't wake up until Bichen called her up to eat, "Princess, eat something, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well..."

"Hmm..." Tong Xiaowu got up, with sleepy eyes, and said, "I have hidden the banknotes and loose silver in the cellar of the Westinghouse. You can get some in the afternoon and find a few bricklayers, and then order some blue bricks. Build the courtyard wall.

We are in this corner village, we have offended some villains so much, we have to guard against them! "

"Okay, don't worry, eat something and rest!" Bichen saw her so distressed.

Tong Xiaowu roughly ate something, then climbed into bed and continued to sleep, this sleep did not get up until dawn the next day.

As soon as she woke up, Bichen prepared bath water for her, "I wanted to call you last night, but I didn't say anything because you were sleeping so soundly."

Tong Xiaowu lowered her head and smelled her body, and it was really unpleasant. After sleeping for such a long time, she felt that she was much more energetic. "Okay, I'm going to take a bath. By the way, when will the bricklayer come?"

"I went to see it yesterday. The wages need two taels of silver, and the blue bricks need five taels of silver."

Bi Chen answered, the wages are not expensive, but the price of the blue bricks is not cheap, presumably it has something to do with the low level of industrial development here, along the way, Tong Xiaowu has never seen a brick factory, nor Know whether it is because of technology or because of living standards.

After Tong Xiaowu took a comfortable bath and had breakfast, she was ready to go up the mountain with a backpack on her back. Bichen saw her with a backpack on her back and chased her out, "My lady, are your feet okay? Don't go up the mountain today, rest at home for a few minutes." God, our family does not lack that little money."

Although the concubine kept saying that she wanted to make a fortune by making stuffing, but Bichen had already done the calculations. One moon cake cost two cents, and the more expensive one was four cents. After subtracting the money earned by other people’s stores, there was only two cents left. Of the two pennies, there is still one penny for flour money, so there is only one penny left, and the cost of materials has to be removed, so there is only half a penny left.

The concubine worked so hard to make the fillings, and she only earned half a penny for one moon cake, and how much she could earn during the August Festival, a thousand moon cakes were only one tael of silver, 1 moon cakes were only ten taels, and one hundred thousand moon cakes , It’s only 100 taels, it’s so hard, it’s better to let the princess rest.
