The wife of time travel

Chapter 16

Six taels of silver, Xu Xiaofu calculated in his mind, then got up and opened the thick curtain to look at the heavy snow outside.Seeing it, Wang said, "Xiaofu, come in quickly, be careful not to freeze in this cold world."

Xu Xiaofu hummed, and then went back to the room, and Xiao Hui, who was shivering from the cold outside, followed into the room.

Xu Xiaofu sat down, and touched Xiao Hui lying beside her feet, Xiao Hui let out a cry.Xu Xiaofu glanced at it, and thought to himself that this bastard is still barking like a wolf...

Hearing Xiao Hui's cry, Xu Qingshan and Father Xu silently glanced at Xiao Hui without saying a word.It was Wang who asked, "Xiaofu, what are you asking about Yinzi?"

Xu Xiaofu turned to look at Mrs. Wang, and asked, "Mother, do you think this year's snow is heavier than previous years? It will not stop for a while, and I don't know what is going to fall, like Tianer It’s also much colder than before.”

"That's true, it's indeed much colder than usual." Wang rubbed her hands, then lowered her head and continued to mend the clothes in her hands.In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the wharf has been shut down, so Wang has a few days to rest.

Xu Xiaofu said: "Mother, let's use all the money at home to buy food and store it. I'm worried that the snow will get bigger and bigger. If... if there is a snowstorm, the price of food will rise scary. It's better to take precautions." Buy some grain first." It's not that Xu Xiaofu is worrying blindly, there was also a snowstorm a few years ago, because all the grain seeds planted in the snowstorm were frozen to death, and the price of grain skyrocketed.That year, the Xu family almost didn't make it through, and they survived only because Father Xu took Xu Qingshan up the mountain to hunt. In that year, Father Xu suffered from severe sequelae, his legs were frostbitten, and his body was still not good. Can't do heavy work.

That year Xu Xiaofu was only seven or eight years old, so he was hungry and scared, and he still remembers this incident vividly.

Sure enough, the Xu family were stunned when they heard it, and after a while, Father Xu said: "Just do as Xiaofu said."

Mrs. Wang also nodded, "Then I'll go buy it when the rice shop opens in two days. Xiaofu is also reasonable. Take precautions before they happen. Even if nothing happens, we can keep the food and eat it slowly."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Mother, when you buy food in a few days, you and the second brother will buy it separately, and buy it in a few days." The coarse grains of six taels of silver are enough for them to eat for half a year.Even if there is a snow disaster, the crops can be replanted after half a year, and it will be considered over.

Wang waved his hand, "Yes, I remember."

After a few days, the rice shop opened, and Wang and Xu Qingshan bought brown rice, cornmeal and rough noodles in two ways, these are the cheapest.

The wind and snow were too heavy, and Mrs. Wang stayed at home for the past few days and did not go to the pier to sell soup.Only Xu Qingshan insisted on working at the wharf, earning tens of pennies a day, and he also used the money he earned to buy food.

Another month passed like this, the wind and snow were still there, and people in the capital were panicked.The weather outside was so cold that people could freeze to death. Even the beggars in the capital city didn't know how many people died of freezing, because the wind and snow were too heavy, and many livestock were also frozen to death.

Xu Xiaofu didn't go back to Xu's house this month, mainly because the wind and snow were too heavy, and she was afraid that it would be unsafe to bring the lotus.

It was almost the beginning of spring, and the snow was still falling intermittently. Most people also guessed that there was going to be a snow disaster, so they began to rush to buy food.The price of food began to rise as soon as the panic buying began, and in less than a few days, the price had risen several times higher than before.

The Zheng family was also very distressed. Mrs. Zheng originally planned to go to the wharf to sell soup to earn some money when the snow stopped, but who knew that the snow had been falling intermittently for almost two months, and there was a snow disaster.Today, I heard that there is a crazy rush to buy food outside, so I mentioned it to Nian when I was having dinner that day, "Second daughter-in-law, I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm today, and it's already the beginning of spring and it's still raining." I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the spring sowing. This year's grain price is definitely not cheap, and our grain tank has bottomed out. Why don't we go buy some grain and store it back, or it will become more expensive after a while Outrageous."

Nian paused and frowned. Nian felt a little uncomfortable. When she married into the Zheng family, the Zheng family had only this dilapidated house. Now the Zheng family eats all of her dowry. It can be said that she raised it. The Zheng family is here.Mrs. Zheng is a mother-in-law, so it's okay for her to raise her family, but it's not her job to raise the eldest brother's family and sister-in-law, that's all, after a few days, she can propose a separation!
Nian still gave Mrs. Zheng a few taels of silver to buy food, but all the food was kept in her room.

Zheng Xiaolian's affairs were also delayed due to the heavy snowfall. The Chen family sent someone to tell her that they were carrying Zheng Xiaolian in after the snow melted.

In the evening, Nian discussed the family division with Zheng Shihua, Zheng Shihua was still hesitant, "Ma'am, brother, they have no source of income, and now there is a snowstorm, if they are separated now, how can they survive, or else, wait wait……"

Nian stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, and said, "Master, when I got married, I should have separated the family. It was you who kept procrastinating, but now I can't procrastinate. Now my menstrual period has been delayed for several days. In the future, I’m afraid I’m pregnant, so I should also think about our child, there will be too many places to spend money in the future, at worst, mother will just live with us, what do you think?”

Zheng Shihua hugged Nian ecstatically when he heard the words, "Madam, are you serious? Are you really pregnant?" If Madam is really pregnant, he will take care of everything according to Madam.

Nian nodded shyly, "There should be no mistakes." Her menstruation has always been accurate, and she may be pregnant.

Zheng Shihua grinned, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Nian's stomach, "Why don't you invite a doctor to come over and check your pulse?"

Nian said: "It's so cold, I'm afraid the doctor won't come to the door. Mr. Mr., are you willing to separate?"

Zheng Shihua smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Okay, I will listen to my wife, and I will go talk to my mother about the division of the family."

"I'll go with you." Nian also got up.

"Ma'am..." Zheng Shihua hesitated suddenly, turned to look at Nian, "If the family is separated now, I'm afraid the elder brother's family will be broken up." He was referring to Zheng Shiwen and Xu Xiaofu.Now that the family is separated, the eldest brother is definitely not willing to keep his sister-in-law and lotus in vain, I'm afraid...

But Nian laughed, "Sister-in-law, go talk to your mother about separating the family. It will be a relief for sister-in-law." These days, Nian has seen that Xu Xiaofu really doesn't want to stay in Zheng's house. If she divides the family like this, maybe it can help her.

Zheng Shihua was still a little puzzled, he didn't understand why it was a relief to his sister-in-law, and he wanted to ask something, Nian had already dragged him out to find Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng is naturally unwilling to separate the family. If the family is separated, her eldest son will not be taken care of. She just looks at Nian's cold face and thinks that she is also relying on Nian's dowry to eat, so she dare not Refused, and finally had to agree.

The next day, Mrs. Zheng brought the whole family together to discuss the separation of the family. Zheng Shiwen was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he shouted: "No, what kind of family will I divide! What will I eat and drink after the separation?" what!"

Nian's face turned pale immediately.

Xu Xiaofu also had a look of astonishment, but he was extremely pleasantly surprised in his heart.I thought how long she and Zheng Shiwen would drag on, but I didn't expect that God would send her the opportunity now.She knew that if she could successfully separate the family this time, plus the reason of the snow disaster, she would definitely be able to leave the Zheng family.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Nian in a hurry, saw that she had a bad face, and hurriedly said to Zheng Shiwen: "Da Lang, your father left early, and now that you and Er Lang have married, I feel relieved, but I always want to Those who split up the family, originally I should live with you, Erlang is filial, insisting that I live with them... I see, let's divide the family today, you know our family, there is only this house. The courtyard belongs to you, and the backyard belongs to Erlang, and I will move to the backyard to live with Erlang in the future..."

Of course Zheng Shiwen didn't want to separate the family, of course he didn't agree, but Mrs. Zheng knew that Nian Shi was pregnant, and she was afraid of offending Nian Shi. After all, she couldn't afford to offend the Nian family. Even if Zheng Shiwen disagreed, Mrs. Zheng would still divide the family. .

Zheng Shiwen knew that the family was divided, and his face was extremely ugly. He looked at the bottomed-out grain tank in the kitchen and said: "It is natural to be fair to divide the family. Why didn't the grain bought a few days ago not be divided?"

Xu Xiaofu looked funny from the side, this Zheng Shiwen is really shameless, she also wants to share the food bought with money from her siblings, how can there be such a big difference between a mother's birth...

Nian smiled, with a cold smile, "Since brother wants to share, let's share."

The few taels of silver did not buy much grain, and it was impossible for the Nian family to divide the grain equally, but only distributed about [-] catties of brown rice to Zheng Shiwen.

In this way, this one is divided.Mrs. Zheng packed up all her belongings that day, and moved to the backyard to live with Nian and the others.

Zheng Xiaolian still lives in the front yard, waiting for the snow to melt and carry her into Chen's house.

Zheng Shiwen didn't know how to be a housekeeper at all, so he handed them all over to the Liu family, but the Liu family is not unusual, what good is there to be a house without a penny!

"Sister, I want to eat stewed cabbage with pork belly tonight..." Liu Shi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said delicately.

When we first separated, we got a few catties of pork belly and a dozen pieces of cabbage and a dozen radishes.

Xu Xiaofu didn't say anything, and started to cook dinner with great interest. Now she is in a good mood, thinking that she might be able to leave Zheng's house in a few days, so she no longer cares about these things.
