It's okay not to mention it, as soon as he mentions going to work in the county, the boss Tang Yunfu is a little unhappy.

In the past, he and his second brother went to work in the county seat. You must know that there is a lot of oil and water in the county, and the income of hundreds of wen a day is more than 100 yuan, but you can farm at home, and the grain is used to pay taxes. Occasionally, I will see earthworm frogs in the field, and I can't sell them for much money when I catch them to promote weaving, not to mention the little lady I know who goes back and forth to just a few village girls.

However, when there was a famine two years ago, the third brother Tang Yunji went to serve as a servant, and the fourth brother Tang Yunxiang also eloped with a widow outside the village. Between him and the second eldest Tang Yungui, there must be someone who comes back to accompany Old Man Tang to do farm work.

He used to work as a runner in an inn in the city, and only went home during the New Year's holidays, and his income was not high but stable. In contrast, the second brother carried goods on the head of the ferry horse, and occasionally earned a lot of hard work, but in the first two years, natural disasters continued, and there was not much cargo transportation, and the second brother did not earn as much as him.

But the second daughter-in-law and Tang Zhuangyuan didn't know what means they used, so they found a carpenter job in the county town for the second brother. As soon as this income was compared, he was compared, and he had to obediently come back to farm.

He often misses the days of working in the county town, and he still blames Zhang Qiufen.

Seeing that other people's daughters-in-law are so capable, they can do housework at home, and they can help their husbands outside. When will his daughter-in-law Zhang Qiufen and son Tang Yushun be like Song Ming and Tang Zhuangyuan?

Tang Yunfu said: "If the second brother really becomes a cripple, then farm at home, and I will work for him." Isn't it a carpenter? I can learn too. ”

Tang Yungui saw that his job might be snatched away by his eldest brother, so he immediately became anxious: "Big brother, you even want to rob me as a younger brother for this job?" ”

Tang Yunfu said: "What do you mean by robbing a job? Aren't you having inconvenient legs right now? The farm is over, and winter is about to begin, and the family has to save grain for the winter, but our son has such a big expense, and he was taken ten taels of silver by the fourth girl. Now I'll put it on top for you, and I'll come back when your legs are healed. ”

Tang Yungui said: "Isn't this just trying to rob me of my job? You just want Rou Girl to cure me! ”

Seeing that the two were about to fight.

Song Ming hurriedly grabbed her man, changed the topic, and said, "You don't have to say a word." Dad, mother, big brother, the key to the problem now is not who will work, but how to return to the hospital. Even if Rou Yatou knows medical skills, she can't be more powerful than Dr. Yang, and our family will still rely on Dr. Yang in the future, so we must not offend him easily. Doesn't Dr. Yang love money? Let's make it clear to him that we don't care about the soft girl, and then send some silver, isn't this the end? ”

Old man Tang was very sensitive to the separation of the family, and as soon as she heard the word "no matter", he straightened up and glared at Song Ming: "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?" You're going to make people think we're separated? ”

Mrs. Tang scolded: "The second family, it's easy for you to say a piece of silver, you can tell me how much silver the second room has spent on the family since the autumn?" ”

Song Ming was very angry in her heart, and the money spent on the second room was not spent on her, Tang Zhuangyuan's expenses in the county seat were so big, and Tang Yungui had also spent money in the hospital recently. But after all, this silver is spent on Mrs. Tang's son and grandson, but now she is staring at her and scolding, what is this called?

But she couldn't slap back in front of the whole family, so she could only smile and say, "Dad, mother, don't worry, I didn't mean that." Wouldn't it be a joke to talk about the separation? She looked at Mrs. Tang, who was still angry on the side, and said, "Mother, the soft girl is fourteen years old, although she was divorced last year, but that incident has passed." You can't let Rou Yatou not marry for the rest of her life, right? Now we will go and find her a good husband, and let her marry her. First, we can get her bride price, and second, if she is not from the Tang family, no matter how she makes waves, it has nothing to do with us......"

"Wonderful!" When Mrs. Tang heard the word bride price, her eyes lit up.

After Tang Yourou took away the ten taels of silver from the house, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep well at night, and she couldn't eat well during the day.

But the villagers all knew about it, even the elders of the family knew about it, and they still felt that Old Man Tang handled this matter very well and did not disgrace the family.

If it weren't for the clan elder and Old Man Tang pressing her, saying that she would be scolded by someone poking her back and ruining Tang Zhuangyuan's future future, Mrs. Tang would probably have thrown a few bamboo baskets of hemp into the broken house by now, asking them to work day and night to earn money.

In fact, if you can sell the three of the four rooms, you can make hundreds of silver, but Old Man Tang will not let him sell his daughter, and Mrs. Tang herself is worried that this matter will spread out, and her grandson will become a big official in the future, which will hinder their future.

But if you get married, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Not only that, but you can also clean up the matter of offending Dr. Yang!

Old man Tang coughed lightly and said, "In the future, Tang Zhuangyuan will be the champion, and Yushun is also a smart child, maybe he can also be promoted." If the soft girl wants to get married, she has to find a good family, so that after she gets married, her in-laws will look at us with a dead face. ”

Tang Yunfu supported: "Good idea, I didn't see this girl being so good at making things happen before, hurry up and let her get married." ”

When the eldest girl and the second girl got married, it was a disaster year, but there was no disaster in several remote states, and the bride price was enough. Although it is a good year at this time, if Tang and Rou Neng marry far away and leave here, then there will be no trouble.

What's more, Song Ming knows Mrs. Huang and can benefit from it.

She looked smug and said, "Dad, mother, it's better for my mother to find Huang Pozi at the entrance of the village tomorrow and pick a good family for Rou Yatou." ”

Mrs. Tang clapped her hands and was happy: "Okay, that's it!" ”

……

The sun went down, and Tang Dou'er finally came back from the mountain, still holding a big in her hand.

Uncle Ah Jin is really a good man, he spared no effort to teach him how to make traps, and even gave him one of the prey he caught.

Tang and Rou wanted to roast the big, but they were worried that Tang Dou'er would eat like yesterday, so they washed the and salted them, planning to roast them tomorrow when they came back from the county seat.

Beside her, the young lady turned her flexible little hands, kneading the dough cakes with chicken soup and wild vegetables, and sticking them to the mud stove to dry and scald. Part of it is for the evening to eat, and the other part is to take to the county seat tomorrow.

Tang Douer wanted to help, but the two sisters asked him to rest, so he sat on the side and talked about the traps on the mountain, and recounted the adventure of Uncle Ah Jin when he went hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, and fought with the blind bear for nine deaths.

Finally, the meal began, and the three of them sat around the table and ate.

The young lady and Dou'er chatted, and Tang and Rou responded with each other, calculating the remaining silver in their hands.

This morning's purchase of rice, noodles, salt, maltose, etc., cost a total of more than 500 yuan. This price is still because after the autumn, Li Zheng's family has surplus grain, and it is not easy to see that the three of them are not easy, so they give a cheap price.

In total, he carried home two sacks of millet and three sacks of flour. According to the amount of food that the three of them are instigating now, they can probably eat for a month. But in winter, the weather is cold, prey is difficult to catch, and a large number of wild vegetables will be frozen to death. When the time comes, if you don't eat two meals a day without wild vegetables and game, the consumption of rice and noodles will be greater than now. These bags of grain may not be enough to eat by then.

Of course, if she had finished repairing her house, sold her clothes, and used all the money she had left over to buy food, she would indeed have survived the winter.

But she was unwilling to do so.

That day, when the young lady was picking up chicken feathers and wanted to make blankets, Tang Yourou was still laughing at her for picking up this thing, and it was only now that she realized that the house was really a family with four walls, and everything really had to be recycled.

After the meal, she took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, and went to Tang's house with the medicinal juice.
