Chapter 818: Stealing Silver
In this county town, the daughter was sold by her mother-in-law for three taels of silver, and they spent 300 yuan to rent a house, and the three of them lived.
With the money, on the first day they lived in the house, they had a sumptuous dinner, bought a pound of meat, three pounds of noodles, and some miscellaneous ingredients, and made a meal of noisy noodles.
This meal was the fullest meal she had ever eaten.
But then, she and her mother-in-law tried to find work, but they couldn't find anything, and the remaining silver was quickly used up, so her mother-in-law wanted to sell her.
The wound on her chin was healed, but it left a scar and no one bought her.
Without money, the family of three was also kicked out, and when the mother-in-law was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, in the end, the mother-in-law sold her son again.
She cried heartbreakingly, scolding her mother-in-law for being ruthless and unjust, but her mother-in-law said that her grandson sold to a good family to have a way to live, and following them was ultimately a dead end.
And the money from the sale of his grandson can also save the two of them.
The son is valuable, and he met a good family again, and sold it to someone to be a small servant, a total of twelve taels of silver, and the human tooth took away four taels of silver, leaving eight taels of silver, and the mother-in-law took it, but she didn't give her any of them.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law understood that she was old, and when she couldn't move, someone had to wait for her by her side.
So, the mother-in-law left her.
However, her mother-in-law only gave her one meal a day, or a bowl of clear porridge with reduced bottoms, where was it enough.
She was so hungry that she had no tricks, so she stole her mother-in-law's silver while her mother-in-law was asleep, and then secretly left the county overnight with the silver in her pocket, and went straight to the direction of the capital.
In the end, she was a well-fed person, and she hadn't gone far before her mother-in-law caught up, and her mother-in-law was full of energy and walked with the wind, but in an hour, she caught up with her.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and after being hungry for a few days, she really had no strength, so she was pressed to the ground and beaten by her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was afraid that she would be injured, so she asked for silver to treat the disease, so she didn't fight to death, but only slapped her a few times, and then snatched the silver back.
After dawn, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not return to the county seat, and came to the capital with trepidation.
The silver was spent halfway through, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the capital all the way to beg.
The capital is indeed a good place, and their families beg along the streets, and sometimes, some people will give them hot steamed buns.
That's a penny.
These people are really willing.
Not only to give food, but also to copper plates, every day their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would ask for dozens of copper plates, oh my God, more than her husband used to earn by working in the city.
It's just that within a few days of the good days, they were bullied by a group of people who were also beggars, who not only snatched their copper plates, but also prevented them from begging.
How can this be done, then they must not starve to death.
In the end, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to join the beggar gang, and the copper plate they begged for and the bosses of the beggar gang were three or seven, the eldest was seven, and they were three.
And today's job is taken by the boss, and the salary is ten taels of silver, and the boss asks them to do it, and if they earn three or seven cents of silver, they can get three taels of silver.
And if this hundred taels of silver is earned by her and her mother-in-law, then she and her mother-in-law will be able to share an extra thirty taels of silver.
Thirty taels of silver, she has never seen so much silver when she is so big, enough for her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to find a remote village, buy a piece of land, build two houses, and buy two acres of land to plant. 2k reading web
