Chapter 41: The Savior Comes

When Han's mother's family sent the silver, the silver in Han's hand was more generous, with a total of one hundred and twenty taels. In order to make up for the guilt of implicating his cousin, Li Jimin gave half of the 122 taels to his cousin's family. In fact, this half of the silver was asked for by the Wu family from the mother-in-law Shen.

When you go to the penal colony, you need money to do things, buy clothes, repair houses, etc. Not to mention that her family is old, young, and has a headache and brain fever, which also costs money. Therefore, the silver should be saved.

The bean dregs are not very valuable, Li Yao plans to make sorghum noodles and bean dregs into a noodle nest, so that she will not eat dead noodles.

In the past month or so, she has walked fifty miles a day, and her feet have been trained. It's just that it was very painful to hold on at the beginning, and the pain was indescribable. And every night I have to endure the pain to pick up the blisters under my feet, and I have to endure sleepiness to massage my calves, because it is so sore.

Walking fifty miles a day, the back of the buttocks is like a big scale, and I have to endure hunger, stomach acid, foot pain and leg fatigue. Who can imagine how hard it would be to stick to it like this?! As soon as she stopped, she could have just gone straight to bed and fell asleep without doing anything.

The potential of people is really unlimited, and after getting acquainted, she can slowly persevere.

Now that she looks thinner, she thinks she's probably lost about ten pounds. Although the exile road is very painful, since it has suffered, it is better not to suffer in vain. This has an effect without losing weight. She knows that the initial effects of weight loss are difficult to show. After a certain period of time, the effect is obvious. In short, this process is also a very test of people's will.

Compared with the previous weight of the original body, the effect of this catty is not much in appearance. But for more than a month, relying entirely on willpower to persevere, she felt that she had done a good job. At first, she saved half of the steamed bun for her grandfather to eat, she felt that her act was not very noble, but at least it still had an effect. Although this grandfather is a cheap grandfather, he can't let him get sick.

In fact, no one can afford to be sick on this road, otherwise it will cost money to treat the disease, which is actually worse for her family, who is not optimistic about the future.

Her brother Li Yi now knows who to kiss and who to respect. When it comes to carrying water and firewood on the road, he can help Han do a little.

Because it is difficult to walk, there are fewer broken things in their house on the road. I'm too tired to walk on weekdays, and I can't eat well, where do the ghosts in her family still have the heart to be a moth! Even if it is up, as long as it does not touch her interests, Li Yao is in no mood to worry about others. She has the kung fu to do this, so she might as well save time to sleep.

The ancient times without chili peppers were a little sad, so Li Yao had to soak ginger slices in rice vinegar and eat them. The taste is also spicy, so it's good to eat as a chili pepper.

In short, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is not too hot now, she soaked more and ate more. The family also needs to eat, for the sake of good health.

Vinegar-soaked ginger has the effect of nourishing the stomach, hair growth, and weight loss, so it is best to eat it in the morning. As for why she ate it in the morning, she didn't know. But her grandfather knew more, and the scholar still knew a little bit of medicine, and he had some truth in that.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and man correspond, and one should be more active during the day when yang energy is strong. Eating warm and tonic foods can help the growth of yang energy, which is beneficial to the body. Ginger is included in warm foods. At night, when the yin energy is gradually strong, the yang energy must be converged, and it can no longer be as excited as during the day.

Therefore, it is usually beneficial to eat ginger during the day, especially in the morning, and it is not advisable to eat ginger at night.

Ginger is a hair growth thing, and in her previous life, her mother often soaked some ginger and put it in the refrigerator for her to eat in the morning, so that she could grow a good hair.

In this era, even the steamed buns eaten are dead. At first, Li Yao had been eating rice and cakes since she came here, and she was busy fighting maids at that time, so she was familiar with the situation at home, and she didn't have the heart to improve the steamed buns. Later, when he was exiled, he ate dead noodles and nested heads. The head of the nest was hard to swallow, and it was as hard as a stone, and it almost stuffed her heart to eat......

Not long after they were exiled and escorted out of Beijing, someone from Han's family came.

The Han family is now a down-and-out merchant family, and they can't come up with much money. However, the Han family managed to scrape together enough 100 taels of silver for the Han family.

The hundred taels of silver were raised by the old lady of the Han family, that is, Li Yao's grandmother, who sold the only remaining dowry jewelry. Her old man probably didn't want to see her daughter suffer, so she didn't come at that time, but just let her children and grandchildren come. She also gave her daughter a message, telling her daughter to stay alive no matter how hard she was.

Han refused to ask for the silver again and again, but in the end, he still couldn't refuse. She pulled Li Yao to kneel down at that time, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Old Lady Han, and then wiped her tears and accepted the silver guiltily.

Li Yao's uncle finally said to the Han family: "Eldest sister, you also know that the situation in the family has not been good since the death of your father. Anyway, in the past, the Han family started by selling goods, although it was hard, but they could earn some silver. With all this money at home, I thought it would be not enough, but it would be enough for you to save the day. ”

"Jin'er has no talent in reading, but he has made some friends on weekdays, and he has studied martial arts for a few years. He wanted to follow the dart to run the business, just a few days later, about a month, the dart board he knew at home had a dart to the stone forest. The darts sent to the stone forest are really not good to encounter, I think it is better to take this opportunity to let Jin'er go out and break in. When the time comes, when he returns from the Stone Forest, let him come back with the dart game......"

Li Yao thought that his uncle might not have raised much money, so he had to let his sixteen-year-old son take a half-year-old servant and follow them to take care of him.

I heard that basically no one goes to the stone forest for merchants. Letting his son go to an unfamiliar bitter cold place to run a business, it is obvious that the uncle of the Han family is not optimistic. Han didn't want her nephew to suffer with her, but the two nephews and uncles of the Han family insisted. In the end, Han had no choice but to agree.

Han seemed to want to comfort herself, she babbled to Li Yao: "Your uncle is too honest, your grandfather went early, and I was able to support some portals before. I got married, and then I was exiled to Yazhou, and your aunt didn't make it, and your uncle couldn't do business with his honesty. Life is so difficult, your cousin wants to go out for a wandering, and your uncle won't let him walk around and see it, and your cousin will definitely be unwilling in his heart. And if the Han family's business continues like this, it is estimated that it will continue to fall. ”

The uncle of the Han family gave the silver and left the youngest son to leave, Li Jimin thanked the uncle of the Han family. He probably wanted to say something grateful, but finally opened and closed his mouth for a long time, sighed deeply, and wiped his face with his hand guiltily, saying nothing.
