After thinking clearly, Guo Mianmian opened the box without pressure, and when he saw the contents clearly, he suddenly thought that his hands were hot: "Mother, how can there be so much silver?" ”

At the bottom of the box, five silver ingots of the same size were neatly arranged. The five silver ingots are all five taels each, which adds up to a full fifty-twenty-five taels.

What is the view of twenty-five taels? Enough to build a good blue brick house, or to marry a wife and children for the two brothers of Xiaojiang and Xiaoshan in the future.

The Guo family is just an ordinary farmer, not to mention that after buying a cow some time ago, there is really such a large amount of money, which is obviously not obtained from farming.

Looking at the daughter in the shock, Mu's face rarely showed a little complacency, pointed to the silver in the box and said: "These silver are the year you left home, my mother went to the mountains to pick mountain mushrooms, but I was lucky to meet a wild ginseng, but I regretted that the year of the ginseng was too low, and it was only sold for twenty taels of silver." ”

Speaking of this, Mu remembered the reason why he went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

At that time, no matter how unhappy he was to spend his daughter's money, Mu had to bow his head to the difficulties and ask the doctor to treat her husband's injuries. Fortunately, the treatment was immediate, and he was willing to use good medicine, but Guo Laoshi was not disabled, and the pillars of the family finally did not fall.

But whether it is Mu or Guo Laoshi, they filled in the guilt of selling their daughter, and said that they would earn enough money to redeem their daughter one day.

After Guo Laoshi's legs and feet were good, he went out early and returned late every day, and after the work in the field was done, he went to the house of the person with insufficient labor to assist, even if he was tired of back pain and fatigue every day, he did not think of abandoning it.

Mu risked death like the same as the children, so that the children were big and young, and they went back and forth for thirty miles every day, rain or shine, just to be able to explore everything that could be sold on the mountain. Like mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, etc., everything that can be exchanged for money is picked up and taken home, dried into dry goods, and then sold in the town.

The couple couldn't remember how many times they were injured and how many times they shed blood, so they worked hard to save money, and they really saved more than one or two pieces of silver in half a year, which made the couple very pleased, and they worked more and more desperately to save money.

It was at that time that Mu Shi was picking mountain mushrooms after a rain, and he slipped unintentionally, but luckily found a wild ginseng. She carefully dug up the wild ginseng and took it home secretly, and no one reported it except her husband.

Later, the couple quietly entered the town and sold the wild ginseng for twenty taels of silver.

With these twenty taels of silver, the couple can breathe a sigh of relief, they don't have to risk death so much, and their worries, sorrows, and guilt for their daughter are completely unable to ease down, and they still live a hard and poor life.

In addition to raising the four descendants who remained by their side, marrying the two eldest sons, buying a dowry for the younger daughter, and providing education for the younger son, the couple also saved a large amount of money in the end.

Counting the silver that bought cattle some time ago, it is almost forty taels, which is definitely a huge amount of money for the villagers.

Out of touch from looking back, Mu Shi looked at his thoughtful daughter, and deliberately joked: "These silver are for you to redeem yourself, how Cheng thinks that you are a capable person, you got rid of slavery and found home, saving a lot of silver for our family." ”

"That is, my daughter has been her father's intimate little padded jacket since she was a child, how can she make her father and mother spend money wronged?" Guo Mianmian laughed and boasted to herself, but she couldn't be happy in her heart.

Although he didn't know how much his father and mother risked death after all, so that he had the silver in the wooden box, Guo Mianmian knew very well that this process was very difficult.

Holding a box that seems to weigh a thousand pounds, it is not silver inside, it is the heart of the father's fist and daughter! Thinking of the original body of the thin life, Guo Mianmian's chest seemed to be choked by something, and it was very painful.

"You girl, you're really not ashamed!" Guo Mianmian disguised it too well, Mu Shi didn't see her defect, and after scolding with a smile, he cautiously prompted: "Except for your father, you, and another mother, no fourth person knows about this money, and you don't have to mention it to your brothers and sisters-in-law." ”

Guo Mianmian knew her mother's concerns, so she responded: "My daughter knows that she won't tell me about it." ”

Brother and sister-in-law are not stingy people, and she will also use the twenty-five taels of silver in the construction workshop, but it is difficult to protect the brother and sister-in-law that they have covered their father and mother for many years, and it is naturally better to hide this matter than to open the hole.

"Okay, it's not too early, you hurry back to your room and go to bed." Seeing that her daughter was clear, Mu didn't say anything, but urged her to go back and rest quickly.

Guo Mianmian came out with a wooden box and saw his father sitting at the door in a daze. Looking at my father from the side, I saw at first glance the gray hair on the sideburns and the clear wrinkles on the forehead, which was undoubtedly much older than his peers.

Thinking of the reason for this, Guo Mianmian's nose was sour, and when his father noticed the footsteps coming, he forced back fiercely, opened his mouth to say something to his father, but found that he couldn't spit out a word, and under his father's loving gaze, a smile just appeared on his face.

Seeing that his daughter was willing to accept the wooden box, Guo Laoshi looked very happy, and Dunpu's face was full of smiles: "Sanya, it costs a lot of silver to repair the workshop and repair the garden, if these are not enough for you to tell your father, we will find a way together as a family, don't worry in your heart, ah?" ”

"Hmm!" Guo Mianmian nodded heavily, quickly swept past his father's side, and the tears of forbearance fell.

Guo Laoshi only rushed back to the room to rest when his daughter was too sleepy, and he didn't notice the difference, looking at his daughter's back in a hurry to say goodbye, revealing her neat and clear teeth, and her wrinkled face was full of relief.

Back in the room, Guo Mianmian sat motionless at the head of the bed holding the box, and her flying thoughts made her wake up more and more, without a trace of sleepiness.

Since returning to the Guo family with the identity of the original body, she has positioned herself as a filial piety for the original body and repaid the anointing of the original body. It wasn't until she got along for half a year that she had family affection for the Guo family.

Especially in front of the Liu family, her family's protection of her made her clearly understand, and she herself also deeply longed for someone to care about and accompany her in this lonely world.

If she used to treat the Guo family with the mentality of repaying her kindness, then from this moment on, she regarded herself as Guo Mianmian, the daughter of the Guo family.

Filial piety to parents and helping the younger ones is no longer to repay the gratitude.

Rubbing the wooden box, Guo Mianmian believes that there is a ability to communicate with plants, and Lijia Village is located in a warm, dry and cold area, so she has the control to build a complete flower sauce production chain at a very small cost, laying the foundation for the Guo family to prosper.

Here, Guo Mianmian put herself in the position of the daughter of the Guo family, but she didn't know that on this same night, there was a plan coming......

The night is getting deeper, the moon shadow is slanting westward, the shadows of Hengyu on both sides of the street are pulled by the old man, and the cool night breeze is slowly blowing, causing the branches of the old trees at the end of the town to swing around, and the shadows are a little scary.

"Impossible, you have to listen to Lao Tzu in this matter, Lao Tzu said that it is impossible."

In a low old house at the end of the street, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out, so frightened that the languishing old cat on the wall almost fell off the wall, and quickly fled along the edge of the wall with a "meow".

"Brother Qiang, why is this impossible?" Li Guigui resisted the urge to scold his mother, and asked Brother Qiang with a flattering face: "Leader Qiu, who told Assorted Notes, knows that Leader Qiu will definitely not spare the Guo family, and when the time comes, the Guo family will be in trouble, and the little widow with fine skin and tender meat is not what we want to play?" ”

Thinking that Xiao's long-wanted body was pressed under him not long after, Li Guigui's body suddenly became hot, making him clamp his legs clearly.

Just yesterday, Widow Li, who was staring at the Guo family, quietly followed Guo Lin all the way to Benxinzhai, and also knew why the Guo family went into the mountains to pick flowers some time ago.

Holding back her jealousy of the Guo family, Widow Li didn't publicize it, but just came to the town again and again and found Li Guigui to tell her about it.

Li Guigui, like Widow Li, is not a clever person, he thought about it and wanted to report it to the leader of the Assorted Notes of Ben Xinzhai's opponent, but he couldn't make up his mind after a long time, so he ran from the concubine's side to Brother Qiang's house at midnight and reported the matter to Brother Qiang.

I thought that Brother Qiang would approve and help him find a way to get him to talk to Leader Qiu, but Brother Qiang vetoed it without thinking about it.

Looking at Li Guigui, whose expression was flushed and slightly gasping, he didn't know what Li Guigui was thinking, he had been obscene with the little widow he had only seen for a long time, and suddenly had the same reaction as Li Guigui.

Picking up the cold water on the table and pouring it down, when the heat in his bones gradually stopped, Brother Qiang looked at Li Guigui, who refused to stop thinking, and laughed: "What kind of good person do you think the surname Qiu is?" really made him focus on the Guo family, you don't even want to touch the little widow's hand. ”

Li Guigui didn't know it earlier, but when he reflected the benefits of Brother Qiang, he stared at the boss with the same little eyes as Widow Li: "No, no, no......"

The surname Qiu is the mayor's brother-in-law, and he has several shops in his hands, which can be described as rich and powerful. What kind of woman like this can't get her hands on, can she still look down on Kefu's widow?

Brother Qiang glanced at Li Guigui, and his eyes showed a hint of jealousy that could not be concealed: "With the town mayor as the background, the surname Qiu has done a lot of bullying men and women, and a few of the dozen wives and concubines raised in his backyard are hard to rob, not to mention a beautiful widow, it is a white sow, and the surname Qiu may not want to do it for a change of taste." ”

As the head snake in Taoyuan Town, Brother Qiang knows everything about the people who have lived in the town for a long time, and he is even more concerned about the big families such as the mayor's family, the leader of Assorted Notes Qiu, and Benxin Zhai Fang Zhishen, but he is afraid that one day he will steal chickens and dogs and kick these iron plates.

As soon as I heard that the surname Qiu had more than a dozen wives and concubines, and there were no heavy ones for half a month, Li Guigui's admiring eyes were red, and he smacked his lips and said: "I can live to the surname Qiu, this life is worth it, why didn't I have a good birth and have a relative who is the mayor of the town......"

Brother Qiang said disdainfully: "You have no expectations in this life, or accumulate some virtue and wait for the next life." ”
