When she got home, she saw that it was still early, and Li Gui had nothing to do, so Xiangling took Li Gui to accompany her to Wangxing Village, she faintly felt that her second aunt Liang Chengguo had not sent soybeans in the past two days, and something had happened to Jiang Erlan's family.

Xiangling took the seller's one hundred taels of silver and the one hundred taels of silver tickets that Chu Xia brought from there, and went straight to Jiang Erlan's house in Wangxing Village.

There were twenty or thirty men standing in the courtyard of Jiang Erlan's house, surrounded Liang Chengguo angrily, arguing about something with red faces.

Seeing Xiangling coming, Liang Chengguo sent these men away and let Xiangling into the house.

Jiang Erlan was lying on the kang, with a towel on her forehead, her lips were chapped, her face was gray and lifeless, as if the plants had been quickly drained of water, and she saw that the oil ran out and the lamp withered.

Xiangling was taken aback, and hurriedly took Jiang Erlan's hand and said, "Second aunt, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Erlan opened her mouth to speak, her voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, and before she could say a word, tears fell down in a torrent, choking and unable to speak.

The girl's eyes next to her also turned red, and she handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, you can persuade the second aunt quickly, I, I ......"

The girl couldn't go on, her voice choked, and her face was worried and guilty.

This should be Liang Chengbang's daughter, sixteen-year-old Liang Pei.

Xiangling said to Liang Chengguo suspiciously: "Second uncle, didn't I promise to accept 10,000 catties of beans?" It's been two days, why haven't you sent it yet? Is it because the villagers don't want to sell? ”

Liang Chengguo shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell, it's that I rush to sell it." I discussed with your second aunt to let the villagers with poor family conditions sell it first, but I didn't expect that this time it would be a hornet's nest, and your second aunt was angry. I thought, if I can't do it, I will draw lots, and whoever is drawn will have a big life. ”

In the face of survival, there is no moral bottom line, it is obvious that Liang Chengguo is kind, but in exchange for everyone's incomprehension, he is full of ugliness, Jiang Erlan is angry and angry, and he fell ill all of a sudden.

Xiangling took out two hundred taels of silver from her arms, put them on the kang, and said to Liang Chengguo: "Second aunt, I brought two hundred taels of silver, and all of them were collected into soybeans." Listen to my advice, don't draw lots to collect soybeans, the contradiction will be greater, it is better to stick to the rain and dew, including your own family, each family will receive the same number of catties, and everyone will have no complaints. ”

As the saying goes, if you don't suffer from a few but suffer from unevenness, everyone will receive the same, and there will be no comparison, and the psychology will be balanced and stable.

Two hundred taels of silver can harvest 25,000 catties of soybeans, which is equivalent to one-quarter of the output of the farmers in Wangxing Village.

Hearing that he could collect an extra hundred taels of silver for soybeans, Jiang Erlan sat up with a "rub", because he got up violently, his head was a little dizzy, and he fell back to the kang, but he still didn't forget to ask Xiangling stupidly: "Can you really collect more than 20,000 catties?" ”

Xiangling nodded firmly and said, "The money has been taken, how can there be a fake?" Moreover, I have sold more than 400 catties of bean paste, just waiting for your soybeans to be cooked! ”

Hearing that there was hope, Jiang Erlan seemed to have a little spirit, was straightened by Liang Pei, and said with a long breath: "Good tofu recipe, if you don't let it be done, you won't let it be done,, it's evil!" ”

The guilt on Liang Pei's face deepened, the initiator of all this was her father Liang Chengbang, and her mother also came simply, and died, leaving Liang Chengguo and Jiang Erlan to clean up the mess.

Although Jiang Erlan scolded Liang Chengbang for not being a human being, she never said that she swept the three sisters out of the house, let alone Zhang Luo sold Liang Pei, which made Liang Pei very moved.

Looking at the second aunt who had been thin for a few days, Liang Pei gritted her teeth, and finally knelt down with a "plop" and cried: "Second aunt, Pei'er is sorry for you......"

Jiang Erlan sighed and said, "It's your father's fault if you want to make a mistake, what does the second aunt blame you for?" ”

Liang Pei turned his head and went back to his room, and soon came back, handed a small purse to Jiang Erlan, and choked up: "Second aunt, this is the private room that my mother usually gives me, I have never been willing to take it out, I am afraid that the second aunt will ...... Pell knows ...... wrong"

Jiang Erlan poured out the purse, and there was a silver ingot of five taels of silver, a large handful of copper plates, and a silver hairpin.

Before Liang Chengbang and his wife died, they were in charge of the power of the Liang family, after Liang Chengbang's death, his daughter-in-law also hanged herself, Liang Chengguo only turned over less than one or two pieces of silver, thinking that most of the family was defeated by the eldest brother, but I didn't expect the niece to hide her heart and eyes, and she never took out the private money, she should be worried that the second uncle and aunt would treat them badly and leave a way back for herself.

Seeing that the family was really struggling, Jiang Erlan did not have bad intentions towards the three orphans, so Liang Pei took it out.

Jiang Erlan sighed, these more than five taels of silver are only enough for the family's daily expenses, compared with the huge amount of soybean money, it is really a drop in the bucket.

The current family situation can't allow Jiang Erlan to have backbone, she honestly accepted the silver money, returned the silver hairpin to Liang Peidao: "This is the dowry that your mother saved for you, so you should leave a memory." As for the money, the second aunt accepted it unceremoniously, and now our family is really difficult......"

Xiangling's arrival may have brought hope to Jiang Erlan, her body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her speech was much brighter.

Xiangling relieved herself and went home first.

.

Things went smoothly, and the next day, Liang Chengguo brought more than 20,000 catties of soybeans and three donkey carts, which took six trips to finish, filling two rooms.

The salt stone and chili peppers from Qiwu Restaurant were also delivered, and this time the chili peppers, according to Xiangling's requirements, were sent with dried red peppers.

Xiangling and Jiang cleaned the bath bucket, soaked more than 200 catties of beans in the bath bucket, and started making moldy beans when they were soaked tomorrow.

There is so much food that it will not be used up for a while, and it is too eye-catching to put it in the house.

Xiangling had already planned to buy things when she went to the city a few days ago, and she also bought a lot of straw mats and wheat husks at that time, and she wanted to store grain on the ground.

The so-called underground warehouse is an ancient grain storage method that Xiangling listened to the boss of the grain depot talk about when she went to work in modern times, which can be stored for many years without insects and harmless.

The basement is similar to the cellar dug before, except that it is much simpler: dig a deep pit down in the high ground of the yard, smash the four walls, then burn the four walls with fire, and then use the mat to sandwich the wheat husk, spread it on the four walls, and then put the grain in the middle, cover it with a straw mat, and spread it with the dry soil that has been burned through.

The underground warehouse naturally forms a vacuum layer, and it is not easy for outsiders to find it on the ground.

The next day, she wrapped the soaked soybeans in flour and waited for seven days to grow moldy hairs, and hurriedly went to Li Shishi and asked him and Liu Xiwang to help dig the warehouse.

Li Shishi did not bring Liu Xiwang, but He Kui and He Fang.

It turned out that Liu Xiwang was sent by her mother and followed Erliangzi into the mountains to hunt.

Li Shishi was afraid that he would dig too slowly alone and delay Xiangling's work, so he found the He father and son, who were good friends with Xiangling's family.

The three of them did a good job, dug the pit in the morning, Xiangling immediately baked the warehouse, and the next day put the dried wheat and most of the soybeans into the warehouse, and there were only four or five hundred catties of beans left in the house.

There were stacks of firewood on the ground warehouse, and Xiangling's grain disappeared magically, and Xiangling asked the Jiang family to declare to the outside world that all the grain produced by his family had been sold.

Although Xiangling is low-key, the second room of the Chu family has become more and more prosperous, which still aroused the envy of the villagers, and said that Xiangling's family is protected by the Baojia Immortal, and the days are getting better and better.

made Chu so angry that he scratched the wall at home.
