Chapter 22: The Goal Lives
They didn't know that the movement in the east compartment was heard by Zhang Yue'er who was lying on the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info came back in the evening, she felt that they had something in their hearts, she forced her sleepiness, and waited for the eldest sister to leave the room, and then listened carefully to the sound over there.
She thought that they were concerned about her body and discussed the major affairs of the family before they went behind her back, but she didn't expect that the topic of their conversation had always been her. Full of emotion and sourness, his heart filled his heart, and he pressed his hands on his chest that was in pain, and he couldn't suppress his choked sound. At this moment, she just wants to vent!
Although her recuperation and exercise have looked much better these days, she knows in her heart that the foundation of this body is too poor. The solid illness of the body is also very serious, chest tightness and shortness of breath will always appear frequently every few days, and she does not dare to be careless at all. Otherwise, the Xuantian Gong she practiced would not stop.
She doesn't care how long she can live, for her, being able to live a new life is already earned. But not now! From their conversation, she deeply understood that whether it was Yue'er in the past or her now, their well-being seemed to be the family's obsession.
She had never been so scared at this moment, she was afraid that she would die as early as the original owner of this body! I'm afraid that her departure will make them lose themselves again, and even more afraid that the hatred they have tried to let go of will make waves again. She really can't afford the weight of such a life.
However, as the third brother said, she couldn't let them go, and she was reluctant to let them go.
She had to live, and she had to live well. She must make herself well!
In the future, her goal is no longer just to survive better, she first has to work hard to survive, and then take her eldest brother to live a better life, not to extravagant the luxurious life of the past, but to be well-off and safe. She believed she could do it. She hadn't failed in the past, and she wouldn't be now!
By the time the eldest sister climbed into bed lightly, Zhang Yue'er had already calmed down and pretended to fall asleep with her eyes closed.
Since they don't want her to know, they assume they don't know.
In the next few days, the eldest sister accompanied her at home to recuperate, and it was not until today that she was urged to enter the mountain. The eldest brother took the black fungus that had been dried, selected, and packed in the past few days, and also took a lot of wild things that had been piled up in the space from the time of scavenging to Wuli Town early in the morning. She was idle alone, and after practicing the exercises, she took out the black fungus in the space and selected it to pass the time, and when she was tired, she rested and did what she could.
The black fungus that the eldest brother brought to the town is relatively dry, about ten catties, except for those bad and broken ones, and there are many of them for their own food. Because he brought a lot of things, the eldest brother rented an ox cart to the town today.
After dinner last night, the price of the sun-dried black fungus was 380 wen a catty, this thing is not heavy, you can add a dish by soaking it a little, and it is a novel dish. If the eldest brother can do it this time, the family will have an extra income.
It was raining heavily outside in the afternoon, and Zhang Yue'er put the black fungus and mother-in-law in the backyard into the space. She was a little worried about the second brother who went into the mountain, and when she went out in the morning, she remembered that they didn't bring rain gear, and it was easy to catch a cold if they were caught in the rain. She went into the house and added a coat, boiled ginger soup in a small pot and waited for them to drink when they came back, and boiled a large pot of hot water so that they could wash it when they came back.
"Yue'er, big brother is back." The eldest brother's excited voice came from outside, and when he walked out the door and saw that the baskets he put down were empty, he knew that business was good in the town today.
"Big brother, you go into the kitchen to fill a bowl of ginger soup and drink it, I boiled hot water in the cauldron, you go wash it, don't get the cold."
"Yue'er, haven't they come back yet, your second brother?" Zhang Jiahang happily drank the ginger soup and asked.
"No, big brother, you hurry up and take care of your body, the rain outside is cold!"
"It's okay, Yue'er, eldest brother often practices boxing, and his health is good! It is not easy to get sick. I'll go to the house to get rain gear, and I'll have to go to the mountains to pick up your second brother and them. Wash it when you come back! Also, Yue'er, when we come back to do this boiling water, you don't have to do this. ”
"Big brother, I can do these things! I use the space to transfer the water in the cauldron, so it's not difficult to add firewood. Be careful when you enter the mountain, don't go too quickly on the slippery road on the mountain, remember not to stay under the tree, lightning protection. ”
"Okay, you stay at home, I probably know where they'll take shelter from the rain, and I'll be back soon." Zhang Jiahang took two old coats and a few hats and rushed to the mountains in the rain. Since Yue'er knew the measure, he didn't stop it much.
In less than half an hour, the eldest brother and they all came back, although they sent rain gear, but the eldest sister of the two robes used one by herself, and the remaining one was not enough for three people, even the eldest sister was also wet by the rain. After putting down the basket and basket on their bodies, the eldest brother let them go to the kitchen to drink ginger soup, and let them take a bath and change their clothes.
"Yue'er, the third brother drank ginger soup and took a bath, and now it's not cold at all. Big brother said, today's ginger soup and hot water are all boiled by you, Yue'er is really amazing! Then he handed her two fist-sized fruits, "This is a purple fruit picked in the mountains, it is relatively rare, but it tastes very good." I've just washed several, and I'll leave the rest for you. ”
"Third brother, I'll just eat one, I've already eaten walnuts just now." Zhang Yue'er took the purple, black and translucent fruit and took a bite, it was indeed sweet and delicious, the meat was tender and juicy, she liked it very much.
Zhang Jiaze saw her squinting and eating happily, and also smiled and took a big bite. When it rained today, they were very worried about Yue'er who was alone at home in the mountains, and they wanted to rush back in the rain, but the rain was too heavy and never stopped in between. Later, the eldest brother found them in the place where they used to hide from the rain, and told them what Yue'er was doing at home, so they were relieved.
After dinner, Zhang Jiahang put the silver money in the bag on the table, and said with a smile: "I sold the black fungus I brought to the town today according to the previous agreement of 380 Wen a catty to the Piaoxianglou in the town, a total of 2774 Wen, I didn't ask for the mantissa number, I took the copper plate on my body and exchanged it for broken silver, and only took 200 Wen copper plate." Before leaving, the shopkeeper Lin of Piaoxiang Building also asked me to have another black fungus to be sent to him first, and then I would buy it at the market price. This transaction can be done because of Brother Jishan's line, if it weren't for his help, I might have come back empty-handed. ”
Brother Jishan's full name is Zhang Jishan, also known as Zhang Butcher, who lives in Dongzhuang and makes a living by slaughtering. He is 36 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, married to Wang Yufen of Wangjia Village, and has only one 14-year-old son, Zhang Wei. In the early years, the Wang family abandoned her husband and children, and over the years, Brother Jishan has never remarried, and lives alone with his son.
Everyone was overjoyed when they looked at the silver ingots and copper plates on the table, for this was the first time they had been able to sell so much silver in one day. There are still many black fungus in the mountains, as long as they are willing to work, even if they pick less, the harvest will be considerable. If this continues, the debts owed by the family may also be repaid, and they will be able to save enough money to prepare everything for the winter.
"Big brother, I didn't expect the black fungus to really sell for money, and it was still the price we negotiated before. Tomorrow we will go to the mountains to pick. Zhang Jiaze took the silver and bit it hard in his mouth, and he was even happier to confirm that it was true.
Zhang Yueyao saw the living treasure of his third brother, and took off the silver in his hand with a smile. "Alright, Jiaze, don't break your teeth. It was a favor from Brother Jishan to do it this time, so we have to thank him. ”
