Chapter 82: The Funeral
Slow down in the mountains and walk as you go.
At this time, it is late autumn, and there are all kinds of ripe fruits in the dense forest.
Shutong picked up a lot of the fruits he knew, threw them into the space, and kept them to eat them slowly.
After climbing over two mountains in a row, standing on the peaks and looking into the distance, I found that the mountains inside were one after another.
Along the way, I hunted a few hares, went down to a stream at the foot of the mountain, peeled them clean, and sat down by the river to roast them.
The air in the woods is crisp, and the occasional unknown bird chirps.
Tear off a piece of roasted rabbit meat and stuff it into your mouth, and lie down comfortably on the grass, what a fairy-like day!
A few hares had been eaten, and the sun had set, so she turned around and walked back, and grabbed another boar and brought it back.
When I walked to the door, I saw Gu standing at the door and looking.
"Xiaoyue, where did you run away, it's dark this day, why did you come back?"
Shu Tong smiled, "Grandma, I'll just walk around, isn't this coming back!" ”
After entering the yard and throwing the prey to the housekeeper Li Han, Gu saw that it was a wild boar that was black under her feet.
exclaimed, "Satsuki! Where did it come from? Could it be that you went into the mountains alone! ”
Thinking of what his son said to her in the afternoon, Gu couldn't help but nagging again. "Xiaoyue, you are not young anymore, you can't run around the mountains every day, the girl's family should also learn some needlework, so that you can marry in the future!"
Shu Tong waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat first."
There are two maids at home, and dinner has already been prepared, waiting for her to return.
After washing his hands, Shutong sat down on the main seat, beckoned everyone to eat, and picked up chopsticks to eat.
Gu and Zhao Shou had something to do in their faith, and they were absent-minded about eating.
Zhao Shouxin looked through Shutong's belongings in the afternoon, but he didn't see a dime, nor did he see anything like the house deed.
I was itchy and wanted to ask several times, but I waited until I was full of wine and food, and put down my chopsticks.
Zhao Shouxin couldn't hold back his mouth.
"Xiaoyue, I see that the things piled up in your warehouse are also quite valuable, and your child's family can't eat and wear these, why don't you ask your uncle to help you exchange them for money?"
Shu Tong glanced at him and sneered in his heart.
"I have a lot of food, and my uncle has seen it, and that little bit of food can be eaten quickly, and the rest of the fabric and jewelry will not spoil if it is left away. I'm not short of money for the time being, so there's no need to change it. ”
This is just Zhao Shouxin looking for an excuse, and when he heard this, he asked with a little excitement: "Xiaoyue, you tell your uncle the truth, how much silver do you still have in your hand?" ”
Gu Shi felt that his son's question was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained for him: "Xiaoyue, your uncle is not trying to be greedy for your money, he is just afraid that you will be used to being extravagant and will not be able to save money." ”
"Now that your father and mother are gone, you are alone, and the days will be long in the future. Always plan for the future. ”
Shu Tong smiled, "I know that grandma is for my good, don't worry, I will have a good life in the future with the silver in my hand." ”
Zhao Shouxin asked impatiently, "Xiaoyue, reveal the bottom to your uncle, how much money do you have?" ”
Shu Tong tilted his head and pretended to think about it, and said casually, "About three hundred taels of silver!" ”
Zhao Shouxin was stunned and asked, "Is it really only three hundred taels?" Then how can you be stupid and take out a thousand taels, that's real money! ”
In the countryside, a thousand taels of silver tickets can't be used, early yesterday morning, Li Han and Zhang Dewen went to the town to exchange the silver tickets, he followed all the way, so many white silver, now I want to come to Zhao Shouxin is still painful!
"That's a lot of money! You're so stupid, just give it out, leaving three hundred taels enough for something! Zhao Shouxin gritted his teeth.
Countrymen work hard all year round, and it is too much to earn ten taels or eighteen taels.
Three hundred taels of silver, he is already very rich, Zhao Shouxin has land at home, and he also opened a small grocery store in the town, such a family is not worth three hundred taels, maybe he may not be able to earn it after a lifetime of struggle.
If he had known that Shu Tong had three hundred taels in his hand, Zhao Shouxin would have been happy to blossom a long time ago.
It's a pity that this will Shu Tong casually took out a thousand taels of silver, which made Zhao Shouxin's appetite bigger, and now he heard that there were only three hundred taels of silver, and he was a little dissatisfied.
Shutong waved his hand, with a disapproving face, "You can still earn money when it's gone." I have the strength to run a few more times into the mountains, just hunt and sell! ”
Gu Shi thought of the wild boar in the kitchen, his face turned pale and he hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, don't run to the mountains again, how fierce the beasts in the mountains are!" If you have three longs and two shorts, what can you do? ”
Zhao Shouxin pondered in his heart for a while, and sighed: "In the past, you could do whatever you wanted by yourself!" Now that my uncle is here, I won't let you suffer like that again. After thinking about it, I still think that you should go back with us, although my uncle's family is not rich and rich, there will be no shortage of you to stutter. ”
The 1,000 taels of silver tickets were stared at by the Zhang family, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get them back.
At present, the little girl has been deceived first, she has three hundred taels in her hand, and the house and land can be worth one hundred and eighty taels if she sells it.
That's money, too! If you don't do it again, the little girl will let go of her hand and give it out again, it's really a chicken and egg fight!
Just like this, Zhao Shouxin still feels that he has suffered a loss!
Shu Tong didn't want to entangle this topic with them, "Let's talk about these things when my father's grave is repaired!" ”
Zhao Shouxin lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and didn't say anything more.
There are rich people who are good at doing things, and in a blink of an eye, it is the selected auspicious day of the zodiac.
Shutong got up early and put on a filial piety suit, and under the guidance of Li Han, he went to the ancestral grave of the Zhang family.
At this moment, the sky was pale, and the entire Mochizuki Village had almost arrived, and on the hillside, the invited Taoist monks and nuns had already begun to recite scriptures and open a water and land dojo.
Cigarette smoke, crowded, heard about Zhang Xiaoyue's generosity, people from four towns and eight villages also came to see the excitement one after another, with the passage of time, there are more and more onlookers, and the excitement seems to be catching up with the big gathering.
"Oops, what a show! How much does it cost! Some of the onlookers sighed.
"I heard that Zhang Shanwa's family died unexpectedly, I can't imagine that the future can be done so decently!" Someone smacked their lips.
An insider said: "People have a filial daughter who is willing to pay money, if you are envious, you will also let your filial sons and grandchildren follow in the future!" ”
"Ahh Who is envious, Lao Tzu is still alive and well! What about the scenery after death, Lao Tzu will live a long life! The man feigned anger.
"Hahaha! What is said is that it is better to die than to live! The crowd laughed.
"A girl, she is so willing to spend money on her father and mother, this mountain baby has really accumulated great virtue in her last life."
Of course, after laughing, everyone is still envious!
The ancients regarded death as life! Afterlife is sometimes more important than survival!
Many families would rather go bankrupt than have their ancestors buried with dignity!
