"Really...... Speaking of which, it's all the eldest sister's fault! ”

Ye Qingyu felt quite powerless, and their family didn't want their daughter's son.

Alas, alas!

"Eldest sister, you just said that being a long-term worker is terrible, is it true? My father and eldest brother told me that I could eat enough in the landlord's house, and I still had half a tael of silver in a month's salary, as long as I was obedient and worked. ”

Ye Qingfeng's small brows furrowed, and he said with a tangled expression.

"That's because Daddy doesn't want you to worry and lies to you! They also told me that my eldest brother learned the craft from a carpenter, and if it was good to do long-term work, how could my father and mother lie to me.

Moreover, the half tael of silver per month is also fake, if you can really earn so much, our father will go by himself, how can I let the eldest brother go, because our father is a larger labor force, and staying outside will make more money, do you think this is reasonable? Ye Qingyu said.

"Oh, that's the reason!" Ye Qingfeng nodded violently, and then became anxious, "Eldest sister, what can I do?" Big brother will be fine, right? ”

"Qingfeng, you come with the eldest sister." Ye Qingyu thought about it, pulled him into his room, opened the mahogany box at the head of the bed, found his dowry from it, and said to Ye Qingfeng,

"Let's go to the town to find my father and second uncle, sell the dowry, and redeem your eldest brother."

"Eldest sister, do you really want to sell? But if you sell it, you will get married in the future, but you won't be able to buy such a good wedding dress. Ye Qingfeng said.

"Do you say that your eldest brother is important, or is this dowry important?" Ye Qingyu strained his face, looked at him and said.

"Of course...... Big brother is important! Ye Qingfeng's eyes rolled, with a hint of excitement on his face, "Eldest sister, how much silver can you sell for this dowry?" ”

"The eldest sister can't say well, adding up, there may be ten taels." Ye Qingyu said uncertainly.

"Wow! Ten taels, that's a first-class acre of land! Can you really sell so much?! That...... Shall we go to town now? Ye Qingfeng was excited, but also a little apprehensive, folding his fingers and counting,

"The eldest brother signed a living deed, and the landlord Li gave us one or two halves of silver, and ransomed the eldest brother, don't we still have eight and a half left, these silver, in addition to the money for the lord to catch medicine, are enough for us to eat for more than half a year! Big sister, right? ”

"yes, let's go to town now." Ye Qingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw his happy appearance of seriously settling accounts,

"However, I am too poor to have any strength. You can't go to the town, you go and ask the Zhao family's ox cart to go to the town, let's take a ride. ”

"Sister, I don't have to ask. The Zhao family's ox cart goes to the town at this hour every day, but we don't have the money to ride! Ye Qingfeng spread his hands, his little face full of sorrow.

When people in the village go to the town and take an ox cart, they usually pay a penny per person, and those who have money are willing to pay this fare, and those who are not well-off at home choose to walk to the town on their own for an hour.

But Ye Qingyu is weak, she can't walk for a while, let alone walk for an hour, if she wants to go, she must make an ox cart.

And the car costs ...... It's a sad question.

Ye Qingyu thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he bent down to rummage through the mahogany box, and this time he found a white handkerchief with a red plum embroidered on it.

This handkerchief was given to the original owner by Liu Junsheng three years ago, and it was properly kept by the original owner as a baby, and it was never used once.
