Chapter 82
Go into the deep mountains and slow down, walking and strolling.

It was late autumn at this time, and there were all kinds of ripe fruits in the dense forest.

Shutong picks up a lot of familiar fruits, throws them into the space, and saves them to eat slowly later.

After climbing over two mountains in a row, standing on the peak and looking from a distance, I found that the mountains inside are continuous one after another.

I shot a few hares along the way, went down to a stream at the foot of the mountain, stripped and washed them, and sat by the river to roast the hares.

The air in the forest is fresh, and occasionally there are unknown birds singing.

Tear off a piece of roasted rabbit meat and stuff it into his mouth, Shutong lay down on the grass comfortably, what a day like a fairy!

After eating all the hares, it was already sunset, so she turned around and walked back, and caught another wild boar and brought it back.

After walking to the door of the house, he saw Gu Shi standing at the door and looking around.

"Xiaoyue, where did your kid go? It's already dark, why did you come back?"

Shutong smiled, "Grandma, I'll just walk around casually, isn't this back!"

After entering the yard and throwing the prey to the housekeeper Li Han, Gu Shi saw that the black thing under her feet was a wild boar.

Exclaimed: "Xiaoyue! Where did you come from? Could it be that you entered the mountain alone!"

Thinking of what his son said to her in the afternoon, Gu couldn't help nagging again. "Xiaoyue, you are not young anymore, you can't run around all over the mountains and plains every day, the girl should also learn some needlework, so that she can get married in the future!"

Shutong waved his hand impatiently. "Okay, grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

There are two maids in the family, and dinner has been prepared long ago, waiting for her to come back.

After washing his hands, Shutong sat down on the main seat without hesitation, greeted everyone to eat, and picked up chopsticks to eat big pieces.

Gu Shi and Zhao Shouxin had something to worry about, so they were absent-minded about eating.

Zhao Shouxin looked through Shutong's belongings in the afternoon, but he didn't see a dime, nor did he see anything like the house deed or land deed.

Feeling itchy, I wanted to ask a few times, but at least I waited until Shutong was full with wine and food, so I put down my chopsticks.

Zhao Shouxin couldn't help but speak.

"Xiaoyue, I think the things piled up in your storeroom are quite valuable. You can't even eat and wear them as a kid. How about uncle helping you exchange them for money?"

Shutong cast a glance at him and sneered from the bottom of her heart.

"I have a big appetite, and my uncle has also seen it. The food can be eaten quickly, and the remaining fabrics and jewelry will not be damaged. I am not short of money for the time being, so there is no need to change it."

This was just Zhao Shouxin finding an excuse. Hearing this, he asked with a little excitement: "Xiaoyue, tell uncle the truth, how much money do you have?"

Gu Shi felt that his son's question was inappropriate, so he quickly explained for him: "Xiaoyue, your uncle doesn't want to be greedy for your money, he is just afraid that you will be used to being extravagant and you won't be able to save money."

"Now that your parents are gone, you are alone, and the future will be long. You have to plan for the future."

Shutong smiled, "I know grandma is doing it for my own good, don't worry, I will have a good life with money in my hand."

Zhao Shouxin asked itchingly, "Xiaoyue, tell uncle, how much money do you have?"

Shutong tilted his head and pretended to think about it, and said the number casually, "About 300 taels of silver!"

Zhao Shouxin asked after a while: "It's really only 300 taels? Then why would you be so stupid to take out 1000 taels? That's real money!"

In the countryside, thousands of taels of silver bills can’t be used. Early yesterday morning, Li Han and Zhang Dewen went to the town to exchange the silver bills. He followed them all the way. With so much wasted money, Zhao Shouxin wants to pay back the meat now. It hurts!
"That's a lot of money! You're so stupid to give it away, what's the use of keeping 300 taels!" Zhao Shouxin said through gritted teeth.

It is considered a lot for a countryman to work hard all year round to earn ten taels or eight taels.

300 taels of silver is already a huge fortune. Zhao Shouxin's family has land and even opened a small grocery store in the town. Such a family property is not worth 300 taels of silver, and he may not be able to earn it even if he struggles for a lifetime.

If he had known that Shutong had 300 taels in his hand, Zhao Shouxin would have been very happy.

It's a pity that Shutong casually took out a thousand taels of silver at this meeting, which made Zhao Shouxin's appetite bigger. Now that he heard that there was only 300 taels of silver, he was a little dissatisfied.

Shutong waved his hands, with a disapproving expression on his face, "I can still earn money if I lose it. If I have the energy, I will go to the mountains a few more times, hunting and selling will do!"

Thinking of the wild boar in the kitchen, Gu Shi turned pale and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, don't run into the mountains anymore, the wild beasts in the mountains are so fierce! What if you have troubles again!"

Zhao Shouxin pondered in his heart for a while, then sighed: "In the past, you could do whatever you wanted by yourself! Now that my uncle is here, I won't let you suffer like that again. After thinking about it, I still feel that you You should go back with us, although my uncle's family is not very rich, but it will not be short of your stutter."

The 1000 taels of silver note was stared at by members of the Zhang family, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get it back.

Right now, the little girl has been deceived, she has 300 taels in her hand, and the house and land can be sold for a hundred and 80 taels.

These are also money!If you don't make a move, the little girl loosens her hand and throws it out again, that's really a chicken-and-egg hit!

Just like this, Zhao Shouxin still felt that he was at a disadvantage!
Shutong didn't want to get entangled in this topic with them, "Let's talk about these things after my parents' graves are repaired!"

Zhao Shouxin lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and didn't say anything more.

People with money are easy to do things, and the selected auspicious day will arrive in a blink of an eye.

Getting up early, Shutong put on filial piety, and went to Zhang's ancestor's grave under the guidance of Li Han.

At this moment, the sky turned white, and almost everyone in Wangyue Village had arrived. On the hillside, the invited Taoist monks and nuns had already started chanting scriptures and opened a water and land ashram.

Cigarettes were lingering, crowds were crowded, and people from four townships and eight villages also came to watch the fun after hearing about Zhang Xiaoyue's big handiwork.

"Oh, what a ostentation! How much does it cost!" Someone from the crowd sighed.

"I heard that Zhang Shanwa's family died unexpectedly. I didn't expect that the funeral could be done so decently!" Someone smacked their lips.

An insider said: "There is a filial daughter who is willing to pay for it. If you envy her, let your filial sons and grandsons follow her in the future!"

"Ah bah! Who is envious, I am still alive and well now! What will happen after death, I will live a long life!" The man feigned anger.

"Hahaha! What I said is, it's better to live than to die!" The crowd laughed.

"A little girl is so willing to spend money for her parents. This mountain baby really has accumulated great virtues in her previous life."

Of course, after laughing, everyone is still envious!

The ancients regarded death as life!Sometimes what happens after death is more important than survival!
Many families would rather go bankrupt than allow their ancestors to be buried with dignity!
