Chapter 13: Deliberation
After eating, Zhao He finally couldn't support it and fell asleep, since Wang's injury to now, he has not rested for three whole days, and now he has finally reached the limit of his body. Zhang Qiang settled him down and came to the hall, and found that the three of them were staring at him, and for a moment he was the second monk who was confused.
"Cha, cha?" Looking at his stupid appearance, Aunt Zhang was the first to laugh.
"No, I just have something to tell you, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Aunt Zhang asked Zhang Qiang to sit down, then ran out to look outside, and finally closed the door, then signaled that Ling'er could start. Seeing her like this, the two sisters, who were not nervous, were a little nervous, and Zhang Qiang was even more nervous, thinking that something had happened again.
"Uncle Zhang, don't you wonder where we got the coffin?" Ling'er didn't want to hide it from him, and thought that Aunt Zhang had said it, but only to know that Aunt Zhang didn't say it at all, she was really a lovely person.
"Didn't you say that you borrowed money from India?" Zhang Qiang is not stupid, but real, in fact, most of the people in the village are very simple and down-to-earth. Many people think that they are stupid when they see that they are real, but in fact, they know it in their hearts, but they just don't like to care.
"She is a little baby, who can believe it?" Aunt Zhang was so amused by him, this nerd is really stupid, a ten-year-old, four-year-old baby can borrow money from Yinzi? How much money do people burn? ”
"That's just here?" Zhang Qiang was already nervous, but now he is even more nervous, the noise has changed, this money can't be stolen or robbed, right?
"Uncle Zhang, don't be nervous, this money is our ......" Ling'er said what happened succinctly, and then drank a sip of water and waited for Zhang Qiang to digest it.
After a while, Zhang Qiang slowly closed his wide open mouth, and then swallowed his saliva vigorously before he said in a trembling voice:
"One hundred and fifty taels? Is it really one hundred and fifty taels? Are you saying that all we have here is silver? Seeing Zhang Qiang's excited appearance, Ling'er felt very happy, looked at Min'er and smiled, forgetting her grief for the time being. This smile made the turbidity accumulated in my heart due to a series of changes such as Wang's death and Zhao He's stupidity dissipate a lot at once.
"Well, we can lie to you, there's something else to do." When Aunt Zhang saw his look, she became childlike.
"And? What's the matter? Zhang Qiang looked at the expression on his daughter-in-law's face, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, how many years have he not seen such a vivid expression? Three years? Five years? Or ten years? In order not to have a son, his own mother has suffered a lot, and he knows his mother's embarrassment, but he doesn't know how to help his daughter-in-law. I thought it would be good to divide the family, so I desperately divided the family, but the family was divided, but the old lady hated her daughter-in-law even more. For so many years, she didn't say anything, but he knew that she was bitter in her heart, so why wasn't he bitter.
Aunt Zhang exaggerated their "feat" last night, and seeing that vivid expression, Ling'er realized that Aunt Zhang was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and she had just graduated from college now. And she is the mother of a ten-year-old child, and she is considered too old to raise again? She was really speechless to the extreme, no matter how the times changed, she didn't believe it.
"You... You guys? Is it really you guys? Your courage is also great, my mother, really good, really good. That is, Zhang Qiang's heart is strong enough, and if he changes to others, he will have a heart attack according to this stimulation intensity.
"How bold a man is, how fruitful is the land." Ling'er thought of this sentence in her heart, and couldn't help laughing, and then found that the room was eerily quiet, and it took a while to react, and she said what she thought in her heart, and her face suddenly turned red and she didn't say a word for a long time.
"Forget it, let's get down to business." Aunt Zhang didn't pursue anything, thinking it was nonsense from a child's distraction.
"What's going on?" Zhang Qiang asked. Ling'er thought that Aunt Zhang wanted to go with her again, but Aunt Zhang said something else.
"There's nothing to live in in this old house, so can't you go to the town to buy it? How to fix it at this time, anyway, you can't go generously, if that's the case, you have to turn the sky upside down. Min'er has also been thinking about this question, I thought that everyone would finish talking, and she would say it again, but Aunt Zhang mentioned it first. When Ling'er heard that this was the case, she once again praised Aunt Zhang's character, do you want to be so cute and respectable?
"I have a way to do this, don't rush first, I'm going to talk about another thing." As soon as Ling'er's words fell, the other three stared at her in unison, probably because of her performance in the past two days, the three of them were full of confidence in her, and they automatically ignored that she was only less than four years old. Seeing everyone like this, Ling'er had no choice but to clear the noise and continue:
"Seeing that winter is coming, we have to seize the opportunity to bask more forest frogs now, otherwise we will have to wait for next year." Ling'er felt that this forest frog oil was not a long-term livelihood, it was just an intuition, why she was still a little confused.
"That's easy to do, at this time, Niu Baby, oh, yes, the forest frogs have all gone up the mountain. Go to the river pond in the mountains and fish up piles of them. "He thought it was something, it was too easy.
"I know, but the problem is how to keep people from finding out, this has to be kept secret, or we won't be able to get anything in the end." If the people in the village knew, they would have to grab it, and with her current ability, there was no doubt that she would not get anything.
"Then it can only be at night, but it is too dangerous to go up the mountain at night, and at this time the beasts have also begun to gather winter rations, and if they do, they will be blind." It's really not easy to keep it secret.
"Apart from our village, where else are there forest frogs?" Ling'er suddenly had an idea, but she didn't know if it was feasible or not.
"There are many forest frogs on the east and west mountains here, and I haven't heard of them anywhere else, even on the north mountain." Ling'er was completely deflated when she heard this, if it was a small amount of rectification, it would be fine, but she wanted a large amount of rectification. Because she is afraid of long nights and dreams, who knows what will happen next year, if something happens, she will not regret dying.
"Then let's say that I don't have anything to spend the winter at home, so I use this to survive the winter, and it's more or less meat." Min'er said softly, and when she saw several people staring at her, she couldn't help but feel a little drumming in her heart.
"That's right, sister, you're really at stake. In this way, the people in the village will not be suspicious, and if they find it in the future, they will just say that we found this forest frog oil by accident. Ling'er suddenly ran over and took Min'er's hand and said happily.
"Look at you, like a little monkey." Min'er is glad that she can help, she is too stupid, if it weren't for her sister's cleverness, their family's life would really be impossible.
"Ling'er, you said there was a way to go to the town, is it a matter of first time?" Aunt Zhang is still worried about the life of this family, and this person can't live without eating, drinking, and Lazar.
"I thought so, in the afternoon we all slept and went to get the silver back when it was dark, and by the way we went to the town from Higashiyamane, just in time for the town gate to close. Then let's find an inn to live in, and then rush back tomorrow when it's dark, so that no one knows, that is, Uncle Zhang has to watch my father at home, do you think this will be done? "Ling'er has no way to do this, in fact, it would be best if Zhang Qiang went with them, but it was not a matter for Aunt Zhang to take care of her father at home, so she could only let Aunt Zhang go with her. There is no way to withdraw the silver now, so they can only wait until it gets dark and everyone eats, otherwise they will not be able to show their stuffing when they walk from the west of the village to the east of the village.
"Cheng, that's no problem, I'll go to the second and his uncle tomorrow and ask him and the third uncle to help you catch frogs." Zhang Qiang also felt that this could only be the case, so he arranged to catch frogs.
"It's not for us, it's for us, and when the time comes, we'll be two and a half family." Of course, Ling'er won't eat alone, not to mention that the two of them have such good character.
"That's not good, this is the way you are looking, how can we ask for half of it?" Aunt Zhang immediately objected, she couldn't be such a villain, how could she rob other people's ways.
"Aunt Zhang, let's just catch this year, and we will definitely let people know about it in the future. At that time, no one cares who is looking for the way, rather than cheapening others, it is better to cheapen our own people. Besides, my dad doesn't care about it, the two of us are still young, and the main force of this work is the two of you. We're taking advantage of you if we take half of it, or we won't take half of it. Ling'er pretended to be angry and said, I have never seen such a real person, I must transform it in the future, otherwise I will sell it one day and help the people to make money.
"Just your mother-in-law's mother's, Cheng, listen to Ling'er. I think Ling'er is a person who can make a big deal, and the two of us will listen to you in the future, you don't have to work, just come up with ideas. Zhang Qiang's rough IQ is not low, he has long seen that this Ling'er's brain is not ordinary, or this cow baby is hundreds of years old, at first glance she turned into silver, listen to her right.
"Yes, we all listen to you, you can do it as soon as you say it." Aunt Zhang immediately agreed, convinced of Ling'er for no reason. Ling'er didn't say much when she saw them, she really needed help from such a person, otherwise it would not be easy to get things done.
"Cheng, then let's high-five as an oath, no matter what kind of things we encounter from now on, we will share weal and woe, and we will be in the same boat through thick and thin." As he spoke, he raised his little hands and waited for them to strike.
"We have to work together, and if anyone has two hearts, they will not die well." Zhang Qiang was the first to hit over, and the force almost didn't slap Ling'er's little hand away, which caused Aunt Zhang to be disgusted:
"You are a big and rough man, you don't need to be so determined to show your determination, I can't spare you if you hurt Ling'er." Saying that, he hurriedly checked Ling'er's red little hand, Zhang Qiang reacted, scratched his head embarrassedly, and apologized again and again.
In this way, an offensive and defensive alliance was formed half-seriously and half-jokingly, and none of them thought that this knot would be a lifetime.
