Chapter 18 I must go to the county seat tomorrow

Seeing that the expression on Brother Niu's face was becoming more and more unnatural, Tang Yourou realized something and said, "Brother Niu, don't worry, I didn't let you do the day work, we have silver." ”

The plasterer's face changed a little better, and he said, "It is rumored that you got ten taels of silver from your grandmother, but this money is not enough." You helped my brother heal, and I can help you move mud and mend the cracks in the wall, but you have to buy wood yourself. The wood in the village is not good, so you have to go to the town to buy it. You see, the wood is rotten, and the bottom of the house is rotten, and it has to be replaced. He pointed to the horizontal log on the shaft and gestured with disgust.

He was just a plasterer who could build mud houses, but there were special craftsmen to make wooden houses. For example, Donald Er, who pretended to be sick, built a wooden house. The type of work is different, Brother Niu can help her build a house now, and it is indeed too much to ask him to bear the money for buying wood.

Tang Yourou hurriedly asked, "Then how much does it cost to go to the town to buy wood?" ”

Brother Niu looked around at the dilapidated house, stretched out his hand and compared it to three: "Count it as less, thirty taels of silver." ”

Tang and Rou: "............"

It's like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky!

It is said that the economic ability of the ancient times was very weak, and one or two pieces of silver could live well in the countryside? And I obviously heard from the people in the village that ten taels of silver can build a house.

Just to renovate this dilapidated house, it will cost thirty taels of silver?!

She asked, wondering.

Brother Niu explained that ten taels of silver can also build a house.

The walls were tied up with firewood, and the roof was laid with thatch. This kind of delicate thatched house can protect from the wind and rain, but it will not take a few years to reinforce, and the thatched roof must be rebuilt, otherwise it will start to rain lightly in the house, and the whole house can be blown down by a strong wind. During the disaster year, many people sold their sons and daughters, sold their land and their homes, and lived in thatched huts to live on the spot.

When he left, he said that he would come tomorrow to glue the cracks in the wall for them, and would not charge them money, and as for whether to renovate or make a thatched house after that, it would be decided by Tang and Rou later.

Don and Rou's mood hit rock bottom.

They had been stripped of almost no silver by the Tang family before, and they thought that if they took ten taels out of their grandfather's hands, it must be a huge amount of money.

But when she was really in charge, she found out that this money could only allow them to survive, not make them live well.

Could it be that all winter, the three of them can only hide in thatched huts, eat chaff vegetables, and live a minimum quality of life?

No, it can't go on like this!

Tang Yourou squeezed Tang Youniang away from the low table, pounded the medicine frantically with a stone, his eyes were vicious, and he clutched a lot of energy, and said, "Let's make some cakes at night, and eat them tomorrow on the way to the county seat." Go to the village early tomorrow morning to wait for the ox cart, and be sure to go to the county seat! By the way, do you have any money left over after buying millet and flour? ”

"Yes, the young lady will keep it well." Tang Youniang nodded, and took out a few pieces of money from Lizheng's house from the change in the bag.

"Okay, you take it first! You're in charge of what you're going to buy tomorrow! Don and Rou gritted their teeth.

She is responsible for thinking about what she is going to see in the county tomorrow and what kind of livelihood she is looking for!

Finally, the medicinal juice has come to the time for the Tang family to eat. Tang Yourou didn't want to go to Tang's house to be scolded at this time, she would rather move over slowly by the moonlight later.

She took out her hard-earned flour, added some chicken broth, and kneaded the cake.

……

At sunset, the Tang family sat around the table and ate food.

Today, I ate millet paste and vegetable cakes.

The millet paste was cooked by Shen Qiuyue, and the vegetable cake was kneaded by Tang Jing, but she and Xiaojing were not able to serve it.

Last night, Tang and Rou had trouble in the hospital, and in the final analysis, Shen Qiuyue and Xiaojing had to find a doctor to provoke it, so the Tang family felt that Tang Yungui was angered by Doctor Yang was mainly their responsibility.

Mrs. Tang punished them for not being allowed to eat, and also told them to make hemp and not sleep until they finished making it. At this time, the mother and daughter of the third room sat on the edge of the courtyard, using the waist machine to weave hemp.

Tang Yungui, who pretended to be sick, went to the table and discussed with his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law how to go back to the hospital for treatment.

Song Ming has always been very weak at the table, and told her family what happened to her family in the broken house at noon, shrunk her neck, and said: "Rou girl is unwilling to apologize, I'm afraid this silver will not come back." ”

Mrs. Tang scolded: "This stirrger who kills a thousand knives, an annoying disaster star, wherever she goes, when she was born, she should have been strangled to death in swaddling clothes!" ”

Tang Yungui sighed and said, "Doctor Yang obviously lost the bet, why didn't he admit it?" ”

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Qiufen, said worriedly: "I'm worried about the child in my belly. In case I can't give birth, Wen Po has to go to Dr. Yang, and he doesn't want to come to deliver me, what can I do? She started to regurgitate acid again, and vomited nauseously.

The boss Tang Yunfu heard the nausea sound, he couldn't eat nauseously, and counted his daughter-in-law: "Think about it too much, you're so good, why can't you give birth?" The more you think about it, the more you can't give birth, don't just think about it? ”

When Zhang Qiufen heard it, she began to cry.

The family persuaded a little bit, but they all began to worry about the eldest daughter-in-law.

There is such a medical center within a radius of dozens of miles, unless there is a better doctor in the county, but it is also more expensive to see a doctor there.

Now that he has offended Dr. Yang because of Tang and Rou, what can he do if he doesn't treat the Tang family in the future?

Mrs. Tang angrily blamed Old Man Tang and said, "It's all your fault, if you had separated from those three calamity stars at that time, there would be no such thing now!" ”

Old Man Tang got angry when he mentioned this, and blamed: "You just can't split the family!" You say that the three of them are disaster stars, just let them live in a dilapidated house, why do you have to split up? Besides, if you agree to pay for the one tael of silver, why should I give them ten taels of silver? ”

Mrs. Tang snorted and scolded: "The old thing of the loser! Do you know how poor your family is? ”

Old man Tang rarely showed the majesty of the head of the house: "What are you talking about, I am the head of the house, you old shrew, you dare to scold me?!" If you scold me again, I'll divorce you! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Tang and Old Man Tang were arguing, the boss Tang Yunfu said: "Daddy, since the soft girl knows how to heal, wouldn't it be better for her to treat the second brother's legs?" ”

Zhang Qiufen echoed: "Yes, if she really knows medical skills, we don't need to go to the doctor if we have a headache and brain fever in the future." How expensive is that consultation......"

Tang Yungui suddenly became anxious.

His leg was injured in a fall to avoid forced labor, and it was not serious at all, and it had been healed more than half a month ago. But in the medical hall, there is no need to work, and there are medicine boys who will come to massage and press his feet, and this day is too comfortable.

He didn't know what Tang and Rou's medical skills were, but since she could provoke Dr. Yang, maybe she was really powerful, and she could see that he was pretending? Wouldn't that be revealing?

He hurriedly refused: "She has been under our noses since she was a child, how can she be a doctor?" I will go to work in the county town in the future, if my leg is damaged by him like this, how will it be repaired? ”

Song Ming quietly glanced at Tang Yungui. She didn't know that he was pretending to be sick, but after going to the broken house, she quarreled with Tang Yungui, and her man was also in a hurry, so he ran a few steps to catch up with her.

Only then did she realize that he was pretending.

What if Tang Yourou grabbed the handle and kept using this to blackmail him?

Song Ming helped excuse herself and said, "It is said that it is cured, but the legs of the third brother and sister are swollen like nests, where is the cure?" Agui has to go to work in the county seat, what if he becomes a cripple in the future and no one wants him? The Tang family still relies on the silver he earned from the city......"
