Mama Wu carried a bamboo basket, don't look at the basket Although it is small, the weight is not light.

She trotted all the way, and when someone asked, she only said that it was something that her son had entrusted to him.

Washing clothes is in a remote corner of the house, and it actually takes some distance to walk all the way there.

Someone once asked why he bothered to take care of someone who couldn't turn over in the future. But Mama Wu really can't let go, Xianghan's age is not much different from her children, people are extremely kind-hearted, children are working outside, the child's father is not in the house all the year round, and there is a headache and brain fever on weekdays, all of which are taken care of by Xianghan tirelessly.

She's just comparing her heart to her heart.

Mama Wu lifted the hem of her clothes and walked through a bamboo forest, taking a shortcut, if she passed through the main entrance, she would have to meet the old immortal steward, not to mention the cold and sarcastic all day long, she might even let her fall when she carried such a basket of things.

The path is not easy to walk, but after a few steps, the embroidered shoes that have been cherished are stained with thin mud, and Mama Wu can't help muttering: "Damn, the old woman has never suffered this loss, and when she sees Xianghan, she will have to let her make a pair of shoes." ”

Passing through the bamboo forest and crossing a small rockery, Mama Wu was out of breath, but as soon as she came, she saw Xianghan's shadow, and hurriedly shouted twice.

Xiang Han raised his head when he heard the sound, and did not get up immediately, but looked at the people around him and did not notice, so he whispered to the person next to him: "I'll go and get down." ”

Most of the people in the laundry room have accepted their fate, and they don't want to cause a big disturbance, the man nodded blankly, and moved his feet in a step, one person occupies the position of the two, from the back, there are many people here, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is no one missing.

"Mama Wu, why are you here again?" Xiang Han said, before walking up, he put down the sleeves that were rolled on his arms, although he said so, his heart was warm.

"You stinky girl, you can't think of it." Mama Wu looked at Xianghan's haggard appearance, as well as the whip marks on her hands that were blocked, thinking that she had suffered again, her nose was sore, and she was so close to not falling.

"Mama, you know what I mean." Xianghan said helplessly.

Of course, Mama Wu knows that now that Xianghan has offended her master, many people in the house look at the jokes, and some black-hearted people are looking for her trouble in order to get another look from the master. Now she is helping Xianghan, and she really stabbed the master to know, and she didn't have good fruit to eat.

"Okay, I'm here to give you a message, the Jin family is here today, and I also know your situation." Mama Wu said, and handed over the basket: "This is also what they brought, you quickly take it back to the room and hide some." ”

"Auntie is here?" Xiang Han was in a hurry, she said: "Why did Mama tell them about me, it was just to add to the troubles." ”

"Why don't you say it, aren't you worried about them in the house if something happens, if something happens to you, don't let them worry about it." Mama Wu glared at the unfortunate Xianghan, and it was inconvenient to stay longer, so she walked back the same way.

Xianghan didn't hold it for a while, didn't dare to shout to attract the attention of others, there must be some food in the basket, she lived in a big shop and couldn't fire at all, it was better to bring these Mama Wu back, Mama Wu was also afraid that she knew her thoughts, and she picked up her clothes and ran fast.

With a chuckle, she carried the basket and headed in the other direction.

She turned a few corners and came to a house with broken bricks, Xianghan stretched out her hand, looked at the door, and shouted, "Big head, are you there?" ”

Immediately, the sound of Suo Suo came from inside the room, and the sound of running footsteps was heard, and the door was opened, and a small head turned out from inside: "Aunt Xianghan." ”

When Xiang Han saw the big head, the exhaustion on his face was gone.

The big head looked like he was about six or seven years old, wearing a suit that didn't fit well, and he was dragging a pair of large men's shoes on his feet.

She walked into the house, closed the door, Xianghan put the basket on the ground, and said, "Didn't my aunt make you a pair of shoes?" Why don't you wear it, doesn't it fit? ”

The big head is young, with a quiet little face, but his joy can be seen in his eyes, he said: "At home, I just wear my father's shoes, and when I go out, I will wear what my aunt made for me." ”

Xiang Han touched his head, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

The big head was a little guy she met the next day after she came to the laundry room, don't look at his young age, but he was very fierce, and he was able to drive away three children older than him with the strength of one person, although he was in pain, but he didn't say a word, as if nothing happened, and left with his hands down.

Although Xianghan paid attention at the time, he didn't step forward, but something happened later, and the two gradually got along.

As a result, she also knew the origin of the big head, the big head was not the slave who sold the deed in the house, but the son of the guard in the house.

was originally entrusted to a friend of his, but how did he know that the big head father had been gone for more than half a month, and there was no news back, the big head and the friend's child had some conflicts, how did the friend actually drive the big head home in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, I have some food at home, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

Xianghan took out an oil bag from the corner of the basket, she opened it carefully, and it was actually a soft mung bean cake inside, handed it over, and said, "Eat it." ”

"Where did Auntie come from?" The big head took it, and he didn't immediately speak, but asked with a serious face.

The person is a big ghost, Xianghan said with a smile: "It was brought by your aunt's aunt." ”

The big head listened, then nodded, and the sweetness of his mouth made him squint.

Xianghan lowered his head and continued to turn over the basket, although the big head family had stored grain, there was nothing else, and the game brought by Aunt Jin was just to replenish the big head.

took out the contents of the basket the same, and Xianghan also felt the sincerity of Aunt Jin.

At this moment, she was a little surprised, picked up the thing wrapped in the handkerchief, and opened it gently, and there were actually two silver hairpins inside. She knows the situation of the Jin family, according to the previous situation, let alone bringing it to her, even their own family can't afford to bring it.

It seems that during this time, not only her, but also the people of the Jin family have undergone a lot of changes......

When the three of Jin Jiang returned home, everyone was confused, and just by their expressions, others knew that this trip was not going well.

As soon as Yongxin came home and saw that his grandfather was not in the house, he turned around and went to the field to look for someone.

After seeing Old Man Jin, he didn't have time to be angry, so he told the cause and effect, as well as his own speculation, and said: "It's all my fault, I actually implicated Aunt Xianghan like this." ”

Old Man Jin was also angry, he didn't expect that the people of the Sun family were so unbearable, and they tried some indiscriminate means. But the people are rich and powerful, and they are not even able to compare with ants in the eyes of these peasant families.

"Let's go back first, and we'll sum it up." Old Man Jin couldn't think of a way for a while, in fact, he first thought of the Bai family, but for such a thing, he went to the Bai family, and they didn't have such a big face.

That night, Mr. Jin discussed with his family for a long time, but there was still no way, so he could only ask Li Da to run all the way first, and then ask about the specific situation.

Every time Xiang Han asked someone to bring oral messages and other things, he asked Mama Wu's children to bring them, and then Mama Wu's children handed them over to Li Da to bring them.

Li Da's daughter-in-law's house is not far from Zhuangzi, where Mama Wu's children work, and Li Da went to his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house last time and walked a few steps to Zhuangzi.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jin Jiang went to Li Da's house with a basket of eggs, Li Da and his family were also enthusiastic people, and immediately agreed to come down, and shirked the eggs sent to the door.

Looking at the two people who left, Jin Jiang could only wait for the news uneasily.

But in a day's time, I felt that a long time had passed, and Jin Yun in the furnace room was also busy.

Holding the sledgehammer in his hand and constantly hammering, Jin Yun decided to fold and forge by hand this time, not using the ability to eliminate the impurities in the pig iron, but forging again and again to repeatedly practice the impurities in the raw iron, and the weapons made in this way are sharper.

Old Man Jin said that the more times you fold and forge again and again, the better the forged weapon.

A folding forging is thousands of hammer drops, and Mr. Jin had explained to her in advance that the first attempt, one to three folding forgings was enough, but after the first hammering, Jin Yun was not sure how many times she would hold on.

Tempered by a thousand years, that's right.

From sunrise to sunset, Jin Yun didn't stop except for the time to eat, and the numbers in her mind increased one by one, and now it has reached five digits, but it is far from the end of the first folding and forging, but as time gradually passes, Jin Yun does not feel a trace of fatigue, and she seems to be more full of strength. I didn't feel bored, but I was looking forward to the final result.

Every time she hammered down, she was accompanied by the excitement in her heart, and she couldn't feel the passage of time, if it wasn't for the food that would knock on the door, Jin Yun couldn't feel that her stomach was hungry.

And when it was sunset, Li Da came back with Yongxin.

The news they brought back was not optimistic, although looking at the faces of the Bai family, Xiang Han's life was definitely not worried, but if he wanted to live a better life in Shi Mansion, I am afraid it would be even more difficult, according to Mama Wu's children, Xiang Han had only been in the laundry room for a long time, and he had already been whipped no less than five times.

That night, the old couple actually moved the idea of redeeming Xianghan again.

Jin Jiang lay on the ground, reached to the wall at the bottom of the bed, and finally got a wooden box out of it, which was very inconspicuous, but it was firmly locked with a large lock.

"Look at how tightly you hide it, you can't be a thief at home." Old man Jin immediately sank his face, his wife's body was a layer of ash with such a move, and he had to come like this every few days, but most of them took a look, and then returned to his place, which was not too troublesome.

Jin Jiang glanced at the old man, and she said viciously: "What thief am I guarding against, I am guarding against your son." ”

Suddenly, Old Man Jin stopped talking, and he couldn't wait to pull Erlang's guy over and scold him severely.

The wooden box was opened, and it was stuffed with silver, ingots, and broken silver, and Jin Jiang couldn't help but say: "This box is almost unfillable, and I still want to change to a larger wooden box in a few days." ”

Old Man Jin held his wife's hand and said, "I'll make one for you tomorrow, and I'll fill it up." ”

"I've been married to the Jin family for decades, and I haven't even filled this small box, and that's thanks to Yun'er." Jin Jiang sneered, and she felt sorry for her little daughter in her heart, and said, "I still want to secretly save some money for her to dowry." ”

In fact, Jin Jiang's Ming and Qing dynasties are very clear, and the family can live so well now, thanks to the youngest daughter.

Although Jin Jiang's heart is biased, it is not very powerful, otherwise he would have hidden the money a long time ago, and he would not care about his sons and grandchildren.

For Jin Yun, Old Man Jin was not worried, he just said: "Yun'er will have a great creation." ”

Jin Jiang shook his head, it was inconvenient to say much, but carefully counted the silver in the wooden box.

Counting carefully, it actually exceeded more than a hundred taels of silver.

Sixty taels for selling a Linglong Pavilion, twenty-five taels for Duguang, and more than ten taels of silver-plated hairpins sold by Jin Qiwu at the dock, plus some bits and pieces, now there are one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver.

That's not counting the addition of a cow and a few piglets to the family, as well as two twins to pay for school.

But this more than 100 taels of silver is a lot of money for the peasant family, but for the Shi family in the town, I am afraid that it can't even compare to a dime.

Old Man Jin didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly, he still wanted to give it a try, as for whether he could succeed, he would know after trying.

At this time, Jin Jiang expressed the uneasiness in her heart, and she said, "Don't tell the sù family first." ”

Old Man Jin disagreed, he said: "Say, you have to say." ”

If you don't say it, but other people in the family know, even if there is no misunderstanding, it will cause misunderstanding, although the old man Jin wants to get Xianghan out, but he will definitely not risk the family being torn apart, and he also believes that the people of the Jin family will not be indifferent, even if they don't understand for a while, they will understand after all.

Jin Jiang sighed heavily, and she said again: "You will go tomorrow, how can you enter the door of the Shi family?" We don't even have a guide, let alone a steward. ”

Old Man Jin thought for a while, and he said, "I'll go to the Shi family first, it's really not good, let's let the people of the Bai family build a bridge." ”

In fact, if you really want to carry the people of the Bai family out at the beginning, maybe you don't have to be so troublesome, but Old Man Jin knows that this debt owed is the most difficult to repay, and then their family has monthly income, although they give up some now, they can always come back in the future.

But human affection is different, a favor may sometimes not be repaid for a lifetime, and it will have to be borne for a lifetime. (To be continued.) )
