Chapter 425: Leaving the Village
Widow Li is recognized as timid in the village, but for the sake of her daughter, she is willing to give up her life. This is the greatness of motherly love.
Li Xiuniang burst into tears. She crawled to Widow Lee's side and hugged her and cried uncontrollably. She regretted it very much, why was she so focused on competing with Gu Ye'er at that time, and she also had the idea of competing with others for Ling Gongzi.
After being driven back to the mountain village, she couldn't do anything except the simple and superficial craftsmanship of purifying medicinal materials that she learned at the Gu family. Even her younger brother can recognize medicine and grow medicine, which is better than her. Gu Ye'er is proficient in the preparation of various medicinal materials, can make medicines, and has a powerful master. Now that she has recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, she has become a girl in the Guogong Mansion, why does she compare with others?
She has been mired in deep self-blame and remorse for months. After only a few good days, she was dazzled, not knowing how high the sky was and how thick it was. How could a person like Ling Gongzi be able to climb it?
Gu Ye'er knows how to heal and has saved Ling Gongzi's life, what does she compare with others? At that time, she was really confused, and in the final analysis, she was jealous of Gu Ye'er. It was this terrible jealousy that drove her to take the wrong step and ruin her future with her own hands.
If she could have recognized herself at the beginning, at this time, like Gu Lier and Li Xiu'er, she was still doing the work of a housekeeper in a pharmaceutical factory, shopping with her sisters when she was a casual worker, buying food, clothes and some gadgets, and saving dozens of taels of silver every year...... Instead of a large debt of silver owed to her by her family, as it is now, she has difficulty in the whole village to be a person!
Now she regrets it, but it's too late!
"Nope! It's all my fault! It's not about my family. Lord Shizi, I have committed a great crime, and I don't ask for forgiveness from you and Miss Ye'er. Please have mercy on my mother and my brother. They don't know anything! Li Xiuniang kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the tears of remorse in her eyes kept flowing.
Chu Muhua frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Since my sister didn't arrest you to see the official at the beginning, she must have missed the friendship at the beginning." This son is not a person who kills them all...... In this way, you leave Qingshan Village, never come back, and don't appear in Yancheng. I don't want my sister's medicine field and medicine factory to be ruined by you one day! ”
"Thank you, thank you!" As long as she doesn't send her daughter to the official, Widow Li is willing to accept it no matter what the conditions. In her opinion, when she entered the prison of the official yamen, she had to peel off the skin. Especially the dignitaries and nobles they offended, let alone want to get out of the prison alive.
The prince was merciful and only drove them out of Qingshan Village. As long as life is still there, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. The worst is to live a poor life together as a family, as before.
The old village chief slowly breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "The prince of the world is the bodhisattva, I have spared your life, why don't you hurry up and thank the prince for not killing!" ”
Counting it up, Li Xiuniang is still close to his family. He couldn't bear to see this niece and granddaughter in prison. Fortunately, the prince did not seriously pursue it. Shizi Ye and Ye'er are worthy of being brother and sister, and they are both kind-hearted.
Li Xiuniang seriously kowtowed to the prince of Zhenguo a few times, got up and retreated with Chu Muhua's wave.
Leaving Qingshan Village, where can she go to a little girl's house? Li Xiuniang's heart was full of confusion. Suddenly, she saw her mother and younger brother packing up the valuable soft and their clothes at home, her eyes widened, and she asked in a lost voice: "Mother, Xiaohai, what are you doing here?" The prince didn't say to let you leave the village......"
Widow Li looked at the courtyard that had just been built not long ago, and reluctantly wiped away her tears. Hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at her daughter lovingly: "Silly child, we are a family!" You are also the meat that fell from my body, how can my mother be willing to let you leave alone? ”
"Sister! My mother is right, the family must be together wherever they go! Li Xiaohai stuffed the packed clothes into his medicine basket. There are also some tools for collecting medicine, everything falls, and they all have to be carried. In the future, I will rely on them to support my mother and sister!
"Mother! Xiaohai! You don't have to do that...... The life of the family is just a little better, and there are still two acres of medicine fields, which are about to be harvested. Our house is a new house that has just been built...... You don't have to throw away all the good days you have for my sake. My daughter has done something wrong, and I can't suffer and be punished with you! ”
Li Xiuniang's eyes were swollen from crying. No amount of tears can make up for the mistakes she has made, nor can she go back to the past......
"Silly girl! My mother knows that your nature is not bad, but it is just a thought that caused such a situation. It's okay, our house and medicine field, I'll go to your uncle and ask, see if anyone in the village is willing to take over, just give a few silver, no matter where we settle down, we have to have some silver in our hands! Just do it, Widow Li put down the softness in her hand and hurried to the old village chief's house.
The prince of Zhenguo and the men and horses he brought had already settled in the house halfway up the mountain of the Gu family, and asked the medicine field steward to take him around the medicine field in the mountains, so that he could help his sister inspect her property. Except for a small half of the medicine fields, which were bought by the villagers, most of them belonged to the Gu family, and they were also tenants to grow medicines for the villagers.
Seeing the medicinal materials that were growing well, and listening to the praise of the medicine field manager for his sister, Chu Muhua sincerely admired this sister who grew up in the mountains, but was smart and capable. Gu's Pharmaceutical, which was founded by her sister, is not only famous in the north, but also in the capital. My sister is only thirteen years old, amazing! It is worthy of the blood of the Chu family!!
Widow Li found the old village chief and explained her intentions. Yaotian, that's a hen that lays golden eggs, others can't buy it if they want to, not to mention that she sold it at the original price, even if it is ten times more, some people are willing to take over.
The old village chief bought it out of his own pocket, and together with the medicinal materials that were about to be harvested in the medicine field, he gave Widow Li a hundred taels of silver.
As for her family's newly built house, Patriarch Gu has many children and grandchildren in his family, and his family is not enough to live in, so he has long wanted to spend money on a new yard. The old village chief asked him to ask Patriarch Gu, but Patriarch Gu didn't say a word and bought it at a price of twenty taels.
Widow Li carried the silver and a pair of children, and quietly left Qingshan Village at dawn the next day.
Later, someone saw them at Widow Li's maiden home, Huangjiazhai on a mountain road dozens of miles away from Qingshan Village. With the help of her mother's brother, Widow Li took her children to settle in Huangjiazhai. Widow Li and her children opened a few acres of wasteland on the mountain, and the grain they grew could barely fill their stomachs. Li Xiaohai often goes up the mountain to pick herbs, and Li Xiuniang picks up the few things she knows how to concoct, so that she can sell more silver taels.
