White flowers, golden!

In the light of firewood...... It seems to be shining.

Yuan Ying trembled and stretched out his hand and picked up a twenty-tael gold ingot.

It's heavy.

It's weighty.

Her whole person seemed to have been drained of all her energy, and as soon as her hand was released, the gold ingot fell to the ground and rolled around.

"Mother, there are a total of two thousand six hundred and twenty taels here."

"So much...... Your dad sent it back? "What the hell did the husband do, how could he get so much silver.

She was worried about her husband, and she also inquired about the soldiers in her village, and most of them revealed in their letters that they had been assigned to the vigil or the fire squad.

But her husband never revealed what team he was in.

She asked the women to write to their sons and husbands, asking them where her Koshiro was and how she was doing.

But in those replies they either said they didn't know, or they were hesitant, saying that it was good, don't worry, but they didn't say where they were.

At that time, my mother-in-law said that her husband only sent back a few copper plates every month, and she thought that her husband had been bullied in the barracks, and that the money might have been honored by others, and life was very difficult.

Can ...... now

Looking at so much gold and silver, she seemed to understand something.

The husband may be assigned to the most dangerous squad, the vanguard or something, and be sent to death before the battle.

But this kind of military pay is higher than that of other soldiers, and the husband suffers all kinds of hardships in order to earn more silver, and he desperately earns silver.

I remember the night he left, he whispered in his ear: "I will let you and the child live a good life, for the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, being a soldier is a bad thing, but for me, maybe it is a good thing, maybe there will be a chance to get ahead." ”

He did make a profit, and in three years, he made so much money.

But the mother-in-law hid it all, and her life with her five children was not better because of the money that her husband had worked so hard to get outside, but was even more embarrassed and poor than when her husband was at home.

"They hid the news of your father's death for the money, right?" Yuan Ying is not stupid, but on weekdays, she doesn't want to think about it, she is afraid to think too much, and those things have come true.

"Yes, part of it was sent back by my father in the past three years, and part of it was the pension that was sent back with the ashes this time, and part of it was ...... It is the income from the sale of their houses and land. ”

"Selling a house? Selling land? ”

"The second aunt and the third aunt have been suspicious these days, I followed them, only to know that they were selling houses and land, and it was because I followed them that I knew that my father was no longer there. I think if I hadn't followed them, they would have left the village in a few days when they were almost packed, and we wouldn't be able to find them. ”

"They ......" Yuan Ying lowered her eyes, was silent for a long time, and said hoarsely: "Big head, let's leave the village too?" ”

The big head looked at the gold and silver on the ground and hesitated: "Mother, I don't object, but ...... Where can we go? ”

Yuan Ying clenched her fists, as if she was struggling, but finally, she still spoke: "Go to the capital and find your grandma." ”

"Grandma?" The big head was surprised.

Isn't his grandmother in the village of Shuishan next door?

The big head didn't like his grandmother, who was an old lady with small feet, more bitter than the old one.

"Your current grandmother is not my mother-in-law, this is in a big family, I probably call her a mother-in-law, and my mother is an aunt. When my father picked up a woman in the mountains and brought it back to the village, my mother was pregnant at the time, and my father was not a good person, he was a scoundrel when he was young, and he spoiled the girl he picked up in the mountains, and locked her in the firewood house as his belongings. ”
