"Mother, don't be like this." Ye Xi hurriedly shook Wang's hand, "It's just that some silkworms have died, and the sky hasn't fallen yet!" It's no wonder that the mother doesn't have to blame herself. ”

Wang's family burst into tears, "It's just that now the family relies on these silkworms to live!" ”

"Is my mother hiding something from me?" Looking at Wang's very sad appearance, Ye Xi felt a little strange in his heart.

The life of the Zhou family looks pretty good, even if they don't have much savings, they won't be too strapped for money.

It's just that the Wang family doesn't look like a fake, could it be that the Zhou family has something to urgently use silver?

Wang sighed, and the whole person was full of sadness.

"Since you are already a member of the family, I will no longer hide it from you. It has not been easy for the family all these years, Jing Qing was fine when he was here, but since he left home, life has become more and more difficult. ”

Listening to Zhou's careful talk, Ye Xi knew that the Zhou family's difficulties were because of Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui has been carrying the root of the disease since he came out of his mother's womb, but there is no cure for this disease so far, and a large number of medicinal materials are needed every year to hang his life.

Originally, Zhou Jingqing was capable, and he also left a lot of savings for his family before he went on the expedition.

But after Zhou Jingqing left, the Zhou family was stolen and lost some silver. In the past two years, Zhou Rui has had to go to school and treat diseases, and the expenses are really not small.

The Wang family had already calculated, and when he sold the cocoons, he could buy medicine for Zhou Rui.

Now that some silkworms have died, the natural harvest is worse.

"Why didn't I know about this all along?" Ye Xi was slightly surprised.

Living in a village, Zhou Rui was sick, but he didn't hear the slightest rumor.

Looking at it on weekdays, Zhou Rui is also very healthy, if you want to say that it is different from ordinary children, it is that the skin is whiter.

But this doesn't make people think too much, Zhou Rui has always been very well-raised, he is very young and literate, and he looks like a rich boy, which is a little different from the children around him.

Wang smiled bitterly, "Everyone knows why they bother about their own affairs." ”

"Mother, don't think about it, I'll figure out a way about the silver." Ye Xi said seriously.

"It's going to be a while, how can you figure out a way?"

"There will be a way, mother, leave it to me! As for the matter of poisonous mulberry leaves, of course, it can't be left like this. My mother brought the dead silkworms and the leftover mulberry leaves and went to the village chief, who would definitely administer justice for us. ”

Poisoning mulberry leaves is not a trivial matter.

It is not easy for anyone to make a little progress, the crops in the fields, the silkworms in the family, this is not to be wasted.

Even if the loss cannot be recovered, it cannot be passed quietly, otherwise it will leave people with the impression of being a good bully.

"Okay, I'll go after dinner."

After the Wang family went out, Ye Xi went out on crutches and thought carefully about how to make money.

Now that she is a member of the Zhou family, she can't always eat and drink in the Zhou family.

What's more, the Wang family is good to her these days, seeing that the Wang family is so uncomfortable, she always has to help share her worries.

She didn't go around the village, but up the hill. The grass and trees in the mountains are green, and along the way, I saw children cutting pigweed in the mountains.

After walking for a while, she felt tired and sat down to rest for a while.

But he was attracted by a small grass at his feet. The whole plant is densely pubescent, and the top is covered with small blue velvet flowers.

She reached out and stroked the little flower, this pearl dew grass was also common in previous lives.

At that time, my grandmother would use it for silkworm raising.
