Chapter 196: A Family of Four
I'm scared to death!
Fortunately, ingots have great strength and quick reactions, otherwise they will suffer a big loss this time. Changming's cold sweat dripped down his forehead. When you're out and about, danger is everywhere.
Changming, who was frightened, pulled the ingots to stay at the old woman's house honestly, waiting for the boat to Licheng.
The ship in Licheng is very luxurious, with two floors of large ships. The lower class costs 500 wen per person, and the upper layer is 2 taels of silver per person.
The two of them are children, and they don't have to pay so much to an adult.
Choose the upper layer for safety. The upper floor is a small single room. There are four beds in the small single room. A bed is half a meter wide and two meters long. Two people only gave money for one bed, so naturally only one bed could be used.
Fortunately, the two of them are not fat, and they can sleep on their sides.
The other three beds are a family, an old lady and a middle-aged couple. The couple had a chubby little child.
The old lady looked charitable and pulled her daughter-in-law to speak.
"This time, when we went back to the countryside, we saw how miserable the old family was. Your anger will also be gone. The people are having a hard time, and we don't have a light on our faces. If you can help the handle, you can help the handle. Be kind. It's not good for you to be unforgiving like this. ”
The lady's face was full of displeasure, but she could not refute her mother-in-law's words. Turn your head to look at your husband and ask him to take a stand.
Mr. was a little soft-minded, and this time he went home and saw that the clansmen were doing a bad job. The last meal did not take the next meal, and it had softened a little, and he looked at his wife's eyes, remembering what the clansmen had done, and said hardly.
"They did it themselves. Mother, you have good intentions, but they are not people who can repay the favor. The world is not full of good people. ”
The old lady glared at her son.
"Back then, people in a village worked hard to make a good point in your studies. Now that you have been admitted to Xiucai and have a good daughter-in-law, people are floating. You can't forget your roots. The clansmen are not the maids and servants of our family, and they are staring at Lang'er all the time.
Lang'er can't be blamed on the clansmen for being lost. It's just that we're not optimistic. I see that this time I will go home, buy some servants and come back, and guard our Yu'er. Don't be angry with the people. ”
Seeing that her husband did not speak, the lady knew that she was suppressed by the old lady's words again, and when she thought of those bad people, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Mother, I won't forget about Lang'er's affairs. The clansmen are worshipping, and the other children are fine, why did something happen to my Lang'er? I didn't make them pay, it's already for the sake of my mother's face. It's impossible for our family to help them. ”
The atmosphere sank for a moment.
The old lady looked at the two children who were on the boat together. Changming and Yuanbao were children because they were children, so people were less vigilant, and the old lady teased the two.
"What about you?"
Changming pinched himself, tears squeezed out, and said pitifully.
"My father is a scholar, and my mother is a peasant girl. My father was admitted to Xiucai, abandoned my mother, and found a young lady from a rich family, and my mother saw that our two brothers and sisters were a burden, so she got married. My brother and sister went to Licheng to find our father. ”
Seeing that Changming opened his mouth and came to a small cabbage field, Yuan Bao held back a smile, and couldn't help it, lowered his head, and shrugged his shoulders.
It looks a little like crying.
The old lady was kind and comforted.
"What a poor child, what is your father's name and where does he live? When you arrive in Licheng, your brothers and sisters are not familiar with each other, we will send your brothers and sisters first. If your father doesn't recognize you, we'll sue the official! ”
