Chapter 32: She's Innocent!
Shen Tang's house is almost finished, and the next focus is to harvest the rush grass.
Shen Xingwan's performance on the first day was too weak, so everyone unanimously decided to leave her and Banxia to take care of the eldest girl in the thatched house, and prepare dinner by the way.
After four days of harvesting, the piece of rush grass hidden in the deep mountains had been completely isolated, and Shen Tang went to borrow an ox cart, set off while the sky was slightly bright, and transported it to the largest pharmacy in the town to sell it.
After eating that night, I brought a fire to the house and put it in, the southern climate, this grass house with wind leaking on all sides, is still quite cold at night.
Everyone sat down casually around the brazier, and Shen Tang took out the cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were a few pieces of broken silver and some copper plates.
"This is the money from selling rush grass these days, a total of about eight taels."
Shen Tang took out three taels and gave them to the Zhou family under everyone's hot gaze, "Brother and sister, this is earned by you and Erya." ”
Zhou hurriedly waved his hand, "You found the rush grass, and you sold it, and Erya and I just took a hand to help cut it, how embarrassed to take the money." ”
Zhang took the silver and stuffed it into Zhou's arms, "We have been concubines for so many years, don't talk about this, you are alone with two children, it is the time when you need money." ”
Zhou also knows Zhang's personality, she is not a hypocritical person, she glanced at the still sick and weak girl, and finally accepted the money.
I silently swore in my heart that I would repay the second room when I had the opportunity in the future.
"Ahem, Dad, when are we moving?" Shen Xingwan asked while coughing.
There's nothing here in the thatched hut, so it's okay to deal with it for a few nights. It's a bit unbearable to stay for a long time.
"Did you catch a cold when you slept at night, and why did you start coughing?" Zhang touched her forehead worriedly.
"Move tomorrow!" Shen Tang immediately announced, "It's just that Yu'er is suffering, and I have to go back and forth to school." ”
"I'm fine, I have to get up early every day in the village to hurry, I'm used to it." Shen Yu didn't care.
"Then I'll go to pay the money and write the paperwork early tomorrow morning, you pack up at home, and we'll start moving tomorrow afternoon."
The price Shen Tang has already talked about it, twelve taels of silver a year, the house is in a relatively remote location in the town, but it is better in a quiet environment.
"Is there enough silver?" Shen Xingwan asked.
"Enough, after so many years, your father and mother still have some private money." Zhang's Road.
After all, the Shen family can not only provide for a few scholars, but also for the Dafang family to eat and drink well in the town, and they are definitely not really poor.
The poverty shown is nothing more than a means to manipulate the other houses, or to suck blood.
Of course, the others are not stupid, and each has its own means to save money secretly.
Zhou shook Erya's hand and left the second room. It is absolutely not safe for her to live in such a place as a woman with a child.
And she doesn't care about the people in the Shen family's old mansion.
"Second uncle, can you please help us look at the house in the town, there are no requirements to give our mother and son a place to stay."
Before Zhou's parents died, he was also a person who had seen a little of the world with his father and learned from his mother.
Over the years, in the Shen family, he swallowed his anger for the sake of his two daughters, and almost became a mute and transparent person who could only work, and anyone could step on it.
But she has a plan in her heart, and what her mother left her before she breathed, she didn't tell anyone and kept it firmly hidden, as her last retreat.
Zhang sighed and looked at Zhou's old face, "It's really not good, you guys live with me first." ”
The eldest girl and the second girl grew up under her watch, and she usually screams sweetly and diligently.
Zhou knew Zhang's kindness, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, when my mother died, I left something for me, and I can hold on for a while." ”
Shen Xingwan listened from the sidelines and yawned silently.
The Shen family is really a "talent" from top to bottom, and even the Zhou family, who seems to be the most honest and best bully, has a back hand.
Sure enough, you can't underestimate the IQ of the ancients, and she is innocent from beginning to end.
"That's right, the house I rented is quite big, you can live together."
"Then we also pay the rent, you have already helped our mother and son a lot, we can't keep dragging you down."
Zhou has always been very sober, since they have embarked on this road, no one can help them for a lifetime, they must support themselves.
But the eldest girl is badly injured, and the second girl is still young. This year, she is a woman with two children, and it is the best choice to follow the second room temporarily.
But being a person can't get an inch, and since she can still come up with money, she can't always take advantage of the second room.
Zhou directly gave the three taels of silver just now to Zhang, "If it's not enough, I'll make it up." ”
"That's enough." Shen Tang said, "Three taels of silver for the three of you in two rooms is enough." ”
Early the next morning, Shen Tang took the resting Shen Yu to pay the money and go through the formalities.
Shen Xingwan finished drinking a night's wild vegetable porridge as usual in the morning and began to pack up his things.
Her main clothes were all kinds of exquisite clothes and some fabrics brought back from the Hou Mansion in early summer, autumn and winter.
Originally, she didn't plan to take it with her when she left, but Mrs. Hou sent the big maid next to her to help her pack her luggage, and she couldn't wait to bring all the things in her house.
There is no shortage of these in the dignified Hou Mansion, Shen Xing simply showed interest when he left late, and Mrs. Hou didn't want to think about making things too ugly.
It was still Shen Xingwan who insisted on taking too much and it was difficult to travel on the road, and he couldn't use it when he went back to the countryside, so he finally streamlined it a lot.
Zhang's family almost cleaned up, watching Banxia and Shen Xingwan sorting out their gorgeous clothes, "After living in the town, you can wear it, you don't have to hide it." ”
"These untouched fabrics will also make beautiful clothes for my mother when the time comes." Shen Xingwan said sweetly.
Zhang said with a radiant spirit, "That mother will definitely make good money, so that you have the confidence to wear these clothes." ”
Shen Xing came back late and had been wearing relatively plain clothes for the past few days. It's a pity that it's still very eye-catching, whether it's the old house or the village, some people can't hide their jealousy when they look at her.
Zhang didn't say it, but he kept looking at it.
"Our family is hard-working, and we will get better and better in the town." Zhang's whole body is full of energy, his son and daughter are smart and clever, and they have also gotten rid of bloodsucking, so they will not be bad in life.
Shen Xingwan was a little weak-hearted, she couldn't endure hardship at all, she just wanted to lie down.
In the afternoon, Shen Tang specially rented an ox cart from the village to prepare to move.
Put some soft ones on the ox cart first, and throw away those bottles and cans, there are really not many things for the two families to add up.
Finally, put the eldest girl on the ox cart and put a quilt on her to sit on.
Shen Tang drove the car, and Shen Xiaoguo followed Shen Tang to sit.
The others walked behind the ox cart as they set off towards their new home in the sunset.
Zhou's waist, which had been bent over the Shen family, straightened up all of a sudden, and said without any nostalgia, "I hope I won't come back in the future." ”
