Chapter 9: Three, Six, Nine, etc
After returning from the mass grave, Li Zhifan did not sleep all night, and he had been staying by his mother's side, he thought a lot of things in his mind, and the white bones everywhere in the mass grave made him recognize the world......
In the early morning of the next day, when Li Nianci woke up, the table was already full of meals, chicken, duck and fish, delicacies from the mountains and seas, these delicious meals had not been tasted for more than ten years for Li Nianci, and his saliva increased subconsciously, and he couldn't help but swallow it.
"Zhifan, did you buy all this? This is too extravagant and wasteful! If this is the case every day, how will we live in the future?"
Li Nianci was worried for a while, her silver hairpin could be used as two taels of silver at most, and it was estimated that she could only buy this table of food, but after eating this meal, how should she settle the three meals a day in the future?
Li Zhifan smiled and said: "Mother, let's just waste such a time, you can eat with confidence! I found a good errand in the blacksmith shop yesterday, I can use my natural skills to break down those broken copper and iron for others, and I can get a salary of one or two silver every month, which is enough to feed our mother!"
Li Nianci knew that her son could use his natural skills to break down the broken copper and iron, but she didn't know how much wealth this skill could create.
In order to reassure his mother, Li Zhifan made up such a lie, otherwise the other party would definitely not let him do such a dangerous thing!
"Son, if you find a good errand, you have to do it well, usually be diligent, tolerate three points in case of trouble, get along with people, do more things, talk less, save more money in the future, and my mother will find you a daughter-in-law!"
Li Nianci smiled with satisfaction, she never thought that her son would be able to make money to support the family so quickly, all this was like a dream!
Li Zhifan smiled and nodded: "My son will follow his mother's teachings, don't worry, I will listen to you!" But you have to listen to me once now, after eating this meal, we will move to the city to live, this broken grass house really can't stay!"
Li Nianci was stunned when he heard this, and asked very incomprehensibly: "Why do you want to move to the city? The city is bustling, and it costs money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, even if you can receive a tael of silver every month in the future, there won't be much left after excluding expenses!"
"But the city is safer than ours, there are fewer scoundrels, living in stone brick houses, and there are many opportunities, maybe one day my son will soar into the sky!" Li Zhifan said with a smile.
Li Nianci nodded: "Yes, my son is destined to be extraordinary, your pupil technique is a unique talent in ten thousand, if you can be favored by any family, the future is also promising!"
"Mother, I won't go to other families, I'll take you back to the Li family, go back to the Li family in a beautiful way, let them splash the street with clear water, the loess cushion road, and welcome each other for a hundred miles!"
Li Zhifan knows his mother's mind very well, as soon as he said this, Li Nianci burst into tears in an instant, and wiped it with her sleeve several times without drying it, because she was so excited, she had been looking forward to this day for many years, and felt that this was basically a hopeless thing in this life, but when her son said this, the flame of hope extinguished in her heart burned again!
"My son knows his mother's mind best! My mother listens to your arrangement! I want to let those people in the Li family see that even if my son's bloodline grade is a little worse, he can still become a hero!"
Li Nianci has never been so passionate as today, she is very confident, she feels that her son will be successful, and she wants to leave her son's name on the Li family's genealogy!
After eating, Li Zhifan helped his mother into the carriage, loaded a few pieces of luggage at home, and then locked the door, handed over the key to the landlord next door, Aunt Wang, and left the village where he had lived for many years and headed towards Jianye City.
Jianye City, the place where Li Nianci's soul haunts her dreams, she has been away for thirteen years, and she has not set foot here in these thirteen years, but her heart does not want to return here all the time.
Jianye City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the inner city is occupied by the four major families, the Li family is one of them, and it is also the strongest one, the outer city is where ordinary people live.
Under normal circumstances, the common people were not allowed to enter the inner city, and the laws of the Chinese Empire were only for ordinary people, and the children of those clans were bound by the clan rules.
People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, naturally there is no fairness at all, the people in the inner city regard the people in the outer city as ants, the people in the outer city regard the people outside the city as mustard, and a person with no family background will always be a lamb to the slaughter.
The carriage stopped in a quiet alley, although it was a little remote, but it was finally a place to stay in the outer city, and the three rooms were enough for Li Zhifan's mother and son to live.
"Mother, this is our home in the future!" Li Zhifan said with a smile.
"This, here, how expensive is this!" Li Nianci was a little overwhelmed in his heart, because these three large courtyards were not cheap! The rent for a month would be at least 100 yuan, right?
Li Zhifan smiled: "Mother, you can rest assured to live here, this is our boss's former yard, so the rent is very cheap, only fifty yuan a month." ”
Li Zhifan did not tell his mother that this was the yard he bought, otherwise it would make the other party even more worried.
"Fifty wen is not low! We still have to save as much as possible in the future. Li Nianci has been diligent and thrifty in these years, and he is reluctant to waste money at all.
"Well, my mother is right, my son should keep it in mind! You should lie down and rest now, only if you take care of your body, can your son make money with peace of mind!" Li Zhifan helped his mother in to rest.
After everything was cleaned up, Li Zhifan counted his remaining money, the expenses of the past two days were too great, and now there were only more than 100 taels of silver left in 50 taels of gold, excluding his mother's future medical expenses, the money that could be used at present did not exceed 50 taels.
So Li Zhifan must plan how to use the money reasonably.
If you continue to decompose those broken copper and iron, you can still get some mixed yuan gold beads, but if you often sell this kind of thing in the future, it will definitely attract the attention of others, so you can't sell mixed yuan gold beads to the outside world for the time being.
Strengthening equipment requires a lot of bloodline power, Li Zhifan's current bloodline power in his body is too little, and it is not enough to strengthen useful equipment at all, and even if he strengthens useful equipment, there is a certain risk in selling it, in the final analysis, his strength is too low to protect his property, and he has concerns about everything!
After thinking about it, Li Zhifan felt that only by making himself stronger was the right way, so he was going to go to the street to buy some cheap exercises to improve the power of the bloodline first, otherwise if he relied on his own little accumulation to improve the power of the bloodline, I am afraid that he would really have to wait until he was old!
