Farmer's wife: Xianggong, if you are sick

Chapter 22 Negotiations

The old lady Song said with a look of embarrassment: "Although I said that, it is a matter of a day or two for a man to learn art. Your mother can only do some simple work at home, and the main job is to take care of you. Father, it costs money to take medicine, the big guy probably already has an opinion in his heart!"

Knowing that this was just the old lady's rhetoric, Song Yaomei was not annoyed, she just said: "Grandma, how about this, I will give the old house a lot of money every month, so that De Nan can learn acupuncture well. After learning, It also benefits everyone, right?"

The old lady was moved, isn't it just one tael of silver?This boy is only nine years old, even if he goes out to work, he won't be able to get so much money, but she looked at Song Yaomei again, giving him a consistent amount of money this month, wouldn't it be that this idiot is suffering from a stupid disease again?

Song Yaomei knew that the old lady was sizing her up, so she didn't put on a show, she looked natural, knowing that she didn't believe herself, she said: "Grandma, how about this, I will give you a couple of minutes before Denan officially leaves home." Silver, so that Denan can accompany his parents again."

When the old lady heard that the money was about to come into the account, she was happy in her heart, but she still didn't say, "Since Yaomei wants to give the old house a tael of silver, I won't refuse. It's not that the old woman wants to live. On a good day, the lake eats the sea and drinks, but your father is not in good health and needs to spend money to nourish himself."

Although a tael of silver is a bit much, there are many pheasants and rabbits on the Buried Soul Mountain. At worst, she went to hunt some more, or went in to have a look to see if there were any good things inside.If you get something precious, you might be able to exchange it for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver right away.

Now that the terms have been negotiated, Song Yaomei is about to leave, but the old lady is still dissatisfied, "Yaomei, the things you brought back last time are delicious to everyone. I know you are still here." I'm angry with your sister, but I think this thing looks good, if it can be sold to a big restaurant, it should be a good income."

Knowing that the old lady has put on something she earned, Song Yaomei and the others don't want to hide it anymore.Originally, if she didn't ask clearly, she would have fooled it indiscriminately, but it's hard for her to refuse the question so honestly.

However, she didn't intend to make a fortune from this at first, and she felt that it was not worthwhile to travel such a long distance for five cents a catty.Since the old lady can get this income, then she will give it to her. After all, his father's legs are not good, and she doesn't earn enough money, so she still has to rely on her to live.

She thought for a while, and then smiled and replied: "Grandma, since everyone loves to eat it, it's a game anyway, caught in the water. Someday let some uncle go with me, and I'll teach him how to catch it!"

The old lady got the letter of approval and let Song Yaomei go away in a good mood.

Song Yaomei went out the door and saw that the man was waiting for her.

"Why don't you spend more time with your parents in the house?"

"Don't worry, mother, let me come and take a look." The man lowered his head, his tone was light, "Sister, why don't I go, the two silvers are really too high, and I want to steal my sister's food thing."

Song Yaomei patted the man's head, "Silly girl, why don't you cherish such a good opportunity? Don't worry about the money, my sister has her own way."

Seeing that Song Yaomei was so confident, De Nan jumped up like a child, grabbed Song Yaomei's arm and asked, "Sister, is what you said true?"

Song Yaomei patted her hand that was holding her arm, and nodded with a smile.

It was the first time for Song Yaomei to see her sister smiling so happily like a child.I thought to myself, this is what a child should look like. The poor and heavy housework, and the serious patriarchal thought have seriously affected the physical and mental development of the children here.

Song Yaomei thought, no matter what, she must not let Da Ya, Li Dan, and her future children have no childhood, and she must let them live happier than giant pandas.

Song Yaomei came down to the house with the help of the man, and saw her father and the old gentleman chatting happily. They were talking about the boy's childhood, saying that the child was sensible since he was a child. The old man stroked his beard and said Very satisfied.

Song Yaomei cursed in her heart: "Isn't it just another free labor force? See how happy you are."

It's just that there is still a problem now, that is, how to calculate the tuition and living expenses of the old man. Although it is not easy to ask, it is better to put such important matters on the bright side. If you ask for a lot of money, it doesn't matter if you don't learn.Just this character, maybe it has taught the boy's simple and honest temperament, and her father's illness, just ask the master to see it.

As for getting a boy, as long as she is talented and intelligent, she believes there will still be a master who is willing to teach her.She thought about it, in this society, it is better for women to have some skills, so that they are not easy to be bullied.

"Mr.!" Song Yaomei made a bow.

"What's the matter?" The old man stroked his beard and asked.

Song Yaomei straightened her waist and said: "Old man, we had a good conversation just now, but for a while, I forgot to ask the most important thing."

The old man looked suspicious, "What's the matter?"

Song Yaomei went on to say: "The old man is very skilled in medicine. I don't know how this girl will pay for your monthly living expenses, tuition and miscellaneous expenses?"

At this time, the man's heart was about to rise to his throat, and she also looked at her sister with a sad face.

The old man laughed, and stroked his beard again, "So the baby is worried about this!" He paused and said with a smile, "I am so skilled in medicine, why do I still care about your mere apprenticeship fees?"

De Nan laughed, and everyone was relieved again.

Song Yaomei decided to go to the town when the weather was still early. She went late and came back late. She still has a lot of things to do?
At this moment, Father Qin also drove over with an ox cart, and they started on the road.

Because the Li family was also at the entrance of the village, Li Sanlang was waiting at the entrance of the village with a basket on his back, but he didn't want the Li family to wait there with his two little ones.

Song Yaomei got out of the bullock cart slowly, and asked: "Mother, why did you bring the children here?" Because in Song Yaomei's heart, these two children have hardly ever been out of the yard, and they still see them like this some people.

But I saw Li stroking the heads of the two children.The two children came over with a bamboo basket. Curious, Song Yaomei opened the lid and saw that there was a bowl of roasted pork with bamboo shoots inside. Song Yaomei was so moved that she almost cried.

Mrs. Li said: "The two children saw that you didn't eat at home yesterday, so they didn't eat on purpose. They said that their father and mother hadn't eaten yet, and they didn't eat either. They knew that you were going to the town to run errands today. Come here for your lunch."

Song Yaomei's eyes were red, and she touched the cheeks of the two children, "Mother, go to the town to eat delicious food at noon, save these for you and grandma to eat, as long as you stay at home and listen to grandma's words, mother Just be happy."

But the big girl refused to obey, and still passed the food in front of Song Yaomei, "Mother, eat."

Although there were few words, it was not like the child was silent when Song Yaomei first arrived, and she felt happy for a while.
