That night, Shumin couldn't wait to soak five catties of soybeans, and the soybeans were soaked before he remembered that there was no mold to press the tofu. She remembered that there was a carpenter surnamed Wang in the village, so she hurried to eat and rushed to Carpenter Wang. Carpenter Wang was happy to take the job after knowing the reason. Although he didn't know what the use of that thing was, especially when he heard Shumin say that the square board had to be carved horizontally and vertically, he became more and more curious.

"What's the use of the tic-tac-toe grid?"

"It's okay to have, but it's okay not to want it if you find it troublesome. "The tofu was not made, and Shumin couldn't explain it clearly, the grid was made as a reference when cutting tofu, and there was no practical use. Shumin thought about it and felt that it didn't matter if he wanted it or not.

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, since it's useful to you, I'll help you make it, and it doesn't take much effort. "Carpenter Wang is still very good at talking.

Shu Min saw that the matter was settled and he didn't stay long, so he went back. On the way, I met Chunsheng who had returned from hunting.

He has helped himself a few times, should he say hello when they meet? Shumin was about to say hello when he found that Chunsheng was already smiling at him. So she smiled too, and said hello.

Thinking that Hui'er was still at home, Shumin always felt very uneasy, and hurriedly hurried to speed up and go home. Chunsheng wanted to say something, but when he saw her leave in a hurry, he sighed, shook his head and went home.

Before he got home, he heard Hui'er's screams and crying, and Shumin rushed into the house and found Hui'er sitting on the bed screaming and crying. Shumin hurriedly hugged her and comforted her softly, and under Shumin's comfort, Hui'er finally slowly quieted down.

This is the second time since Hui'er woke up. The first time was when Shumin was cooking dinner, when she was in the kitchen, she heard Hui'er's screams and rushed into the room, and Hui'er was as uneasy as she is now.

"I'm afraid I'm scared. Shu Min thought: A child was locked up in such a dark and stuffy house all day, slowly suffocating in fright and fear, which is comparable to the No. 72 prison where the Wang puppet government detained ** during the Republic of China. What a ruthless old woman. Shu Min has a lot of resentment towards Zhang Li in his heart.

"I have to hurry up and grab medicine for Hui'er, no matter how expensive the medicine is, I have to catch it for Hui'er. "Hui'er's situation is much stricter than she imagined, and the tofu has not yet been made. Even if the tofu is made, she doesn't know how long it will take when she makes enough money. Now the only thing he can control is one or two pieces of silver, silver locks, and an acre of land from the old Zhang family.

Thinking of an acre of land, Shumin's eyes lit up: I can sell land, I won't farm anyway. However, the sale of land has to wait for the buyer, and one acre of land is worth eight taels at most, and it is still the price of high-quality land. His own acre of land is only Zhongtian, and six taels of silver are up to the sky. Shu Min sighed again when he thought of this: I guess I am the most useless crossing girl.

But talking is better than nothing, Shumin waited for Hui'er to fall asleep again, and hurriedly kicked the title deed and went to Lizheng's house.

Li Zheng is also surnamed Zhang, and he is of the same generation as the old man in the Zhang family. He had just had dinner and was urging his two grandsons to learn calligraphy. I wasn't much surprised to see Shumin come looking for him. He told his eldest son to come over and continue teaching, and he went to the front hall to see Shumin.

Seeing Li Zheng, Shumin made a long story short and said that he wanted to sell the land.

Li was holding the tea bowl and drinking tea at that time, and when he heard Shumin say that he was going to sell the land, he almost sprayed a mouthful of tea. He had only given her the title deed the day before yesterday, and he had to live by selling the land in just one day? Moreover, this land was specially given by his uncle. The land given by the elders is going to be sold in less than two days, this Qin clan really doesn't know what to do!

"What is there to sell land, you don't know that this is what your uncle specially left for you to live the rest of your life. Without land, how will you live as a woman in the future!" Li Zheng was very angry, and his tone was full of the flavor of a lesson.

"I also know that this is my uncle's kindness, but now that Hui'er needs to take medicine, I really have no other way. Shumin also struggled for a long time to make this decision. Now I see that I am teaching myself a lesson, and my heart is full of grievances.

"What's wrong with Hui'er?" it turned out to be for the sake of the child, and it was finally excusable. But Hui'er is the child of the Zhang family, doesn't the Zhang family care if she is sick?

"Dr. Hu said that if you want to be all good, you have to spend a small ten taels of silver. Shumin told the truth about the situation. Including the fact that the Zhang family is short of money now, and there is no silver to give Hui'er medicine. Of course, the actual situation is that the Zhang family is unwilling to pay this money, but how can Shumin say that.

Li Zheng frowned when he heard this, this old man Zhang is living more and more. But after all, it's someone else's family matter, and he can't comment on it, so he just sighs.

"Okay, you mortgage the title deed to me first. For a year, if you can return to the land with the money after one year, the land will still be given to you by your uncle. Li Zheng thought for a moment and said.

"It's for the best. Shumin finally breathed a sigh of relief. In a year's time, she was confident that she would earn money and return to the land.

She handed over the title deed to Li Zheng, who glanced at it and entered the backyard, Shu Min was embarrassed to follow up and waited in front of the hall. After a while, Li Zheng took out seven taels of silver.

"This" is one or two more silver than expected, and Shumin doesn't know whether to take it or not.

"Take it, aren't you in a hurry to use the money. Li Zheng urged: "I have a little heart with your aunt for the extra things." Hui'er is a member of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family can't completely ignore it. ”

There are still a lot of good people, Shumin took the silver at this time, and said with emotion, "Uncle Lizheng, I will definitely repay my kindness in the future." ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

"This kid. Rizheng shook his head and turned back to the backyard.

Shumin walked very fast, and after coming out for a while, would Hui'er wake up again?

The door creaked open, and no cry was heard. "It's okay," Shumin said, patting his chest.

"What's okay?" Chunquan stood at the door of the kitchen, still holding a bowl in his hand, and felt funny when he saw that Shu Minhui was still a thief in his own house.

"Why are you at my house?" Shumin was startled, and saw that it was Chunquan who relieved himself.

"I'll bring me some game. Doesn't she need to make up for it? Chun Quan leaned against the kitchen door, looked at the yellow ridge he had brought over, and winked at Shumin.

"Such a big yellow ridge, you give it all to me?" Shu Min saw that there was a dead yellow ridge in the corner of the yard, weighing more than thirty pounds.

"You'd think I'm here for my niece. Don't be corrupt," Chunquan turned around and entered the kitchen, lifted the lid and began to serve chicken soup.

"Who is your niece? Also, who allowed you to eat my chicken?" Shu Min saw him go to serve the chicken, and hurriedly went over to grab his bowl. He was already tall, and now Shumin only had dry eyes.

"Which eye of yours saw me eating chicken, I gave it to my niece. ”

"Who's your niece! I'm not related to you. ”

"You have nothing to do with me, tomorrow my sister will marry into the Zhang family, she is Hui'er's mother, then I will be Hui'er's uncle. Hui'er isn't my niece yet?!" Chunquan was very proud.

Come on, no wonder he thinks he's weird, it turns out that he came to declare sovereignty for his sister. Shumin said in his heart.

"You also said that it will be pulled tomorrow, but not today, if you are idle, you will come back to recognize relatives after tomorrow!" Shumin shook his back to him

"Take the Yellow Ridge with you, and send it back after tomorrow, so that it is justified!"

Leaving Chunquan alone in the kitchen with black lines. This woman is always speechless.

Of course, Chunquan didn't take Huang Ji away, he still wants to be a man. Put the chicken broth on the stove and say, "I'm not here to raise a bar with you." ”

He touched his waist, took out two small pieces of silver and said, "Doesn't Hui'er need money for medicine, I still have some here." It's not much, but it can be used improvised. He walked up to Shumin and handed over the silver. Seeing that Shumin didn't answer, he said again, "I'm not thinking about being someone's uncle, I have to say that my niece is sick, and I can't ignore it." ”

When he said this, his expression was scornful, and he felt that he was really thick-skinned: just now people also said that Ming'er is the uncle, and today the name is not right.

Shu Min looked at the two silver ingots, and suddenly felt that there were really many good people in this world, Dr. Hu was, Li Zheng, and even Chunquan. In this world, it is lucky that there are people to help, and it is fate that no one helps. I was lucky. His eyes were shining, and his tears began to whirl, and he couldn't stop.

Chunquan saw her staring at the silver, staring at it and shedding tears, a little unclear and a little overwhelmed.

"It's okay, I just got sand in my eyes. Shumin took the silver and said with a smile

"Oh" Chunquan thought to himself: It's strange to believe you. One will cry and laugh for a while, what a strange woman!

"Chunquan?"

"Huh?"

"Thank you so much, or you might as well drink this bowl of chicken soup. Shumin didn't know how to thank him, and now only this bowl of chicken soup could be held at home.

Chunquan is full of black lines, what is this woman thinking in her head?

"No, let's leave it to Hui'er to eat. I went home. Chun said expressionlessly. He turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Really don't want to drink a bowl of chicken soup?" Shumin wondered, how could this person say that he would change his face. Could it be that I said the wrong thing?" "Chunquan, you wait, I really have the heart to invite you to drink this bowl of chicken soup." ”

Spring is all in a hurry, and the pace is faster. This woman, why is it like this every time
