Chapter 65: Selling Ginseng
"After the family property is divided, the next step is to provide for the elderly, and each of your families will give me 50 catties of fine grain, 200 catties of coarse grain, and one tael of silver every year." The lieutenant said solemnly.
"Dad, I can give you food, but the silver ......," the second child said, he already wanted to save money to buy a concubine.
"Why, my father will give you twenty taels of silver, and you are not even willing to give one or two taels of silver pension money." The boss snorted coldly.
The second child rolled his eyes, the boss is really fast in June, but it is too much to give one or two pieces of silver every year, I have really seen stupid, I have never seen such a stupid person.
The village chief handed the written family separation document to the chief, the chief glanced at it, pressed the handprint, and the village chief began to copy, in five copies, four copies of the chief's family, he took one copy, so far, the chief's family has changed from one family to four.
"Brother Village Chief, can you help me ask Uncle Han Lin, can he sell me the homestead in his hometown, I want to build a house over there." The third child hurriedly asked when he saw that the family was divided.
The village chief was happy when he heard this, the land had been taken back by the county government, but if someone bought it, then Uncle Hanlin's family would still be able to get a few dollars of silver.
"The land has been collected by the county government, and the price of his land is expensive, one or two acres of land, a total of one acre and five cents of land, you have to give one or two halves of silver." The village chief said.
"I'll go to the county tomorrow, and trouble the village chief to accompany me once, it's really my father's ......leg," the third child said embarrassedly.
The eldest daughter-in-law was anxious, just now I thought that the third child was because of ten acres of extra land, comforting the two brothers, but I didn't expect him to come really, and said loudly:
"San'er, what are you talking about, how can you move out to live, what can you do if you move out of the small tree, how can I not have a small tree, I am not allowed to move, let alone buy land."
"Mother, I just moved out for the sake of Xiaoshu, and besides, Uncle Hanlin's hometown is not far from here, so you can come over at any time if you want Xiaoshu." The third said.
"Daughter-in-law, San'er is right, let them go, and when Xiaoshu is five years old, send him to the county to study in a private school." The lieutenant said.
"Then, then you have one more room here for your father, and your father and mother want to come and see the little tree." The eldest daughter-in-law understood her man's words and took a step back and said.
The third daughter-in-law nodded happily, although her mother-in-law was a little stronger, she was really good at Xiaoshu, and she could move over to take care of Xiaoshu, so she could rest assured that she would be able to work in the field.
It's good to be able to move out, the eldest daughter-in-law is stupid and poisonous, and the second daughter-in-law is shrewd and capable, living with them, how many hearts and eyes I have is not enough.
In the evening, Xiaoshu took out ginseng from his arms and handed it to his father, the third child didn't care about it at first, but after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but be startled, and controlled his emotions before asking: "Shu'er, where did you come from?" ”
"Dad, mother, it was given to me by Fubao, and today I was bitten by a poisonous insect, and it was Fubao who saved me." Xiaoshu raised his head, looked at his father and mother seriously, and said firmly.
The third daughter-in-law glanced at her man, and the old man Fugui and Xiang were looking for someone in the mountains, they seemed to be very familiar with the mountain road, and they found Fubao and Fugui's sister-in-law directly without thinking about it.
"Shu'er's father, Uncle Hanlin's family is capable, if they didn't lead the way today, I wouldn't have been able to find Xiaoshu at all, I think it would definitely be beneficial to let Xiaoshu play with Fubao more." The third daughter-in-law said.
"Shu'er, why do you always say that Fu Bao saved you, how old is Fu Bao, how can I save you." The third asked.
"Dad, I was bitten by a poisonous insect, Fu Bao's little hand was placed on the place where I was bitten, and this place didn't hurt, and this thing, Fu Bao said it was sold." Xiaoshu said.
The third child frowned, he knew that the ginseng was sure that the blessing treasure was given to Xiao Shu, it is estimated that the little girl didn't know what this was at all, so she gave it casually, as for what Xiao Shu said, it was estimated that it hurt out of the illusion.
"Daughter-in-law, since Xiaoshu said that Fu Bao saved him, and this ginseng was also given to Xiao Shu by Fu Bao, tomorrow you go to the county with me, go to Buzhuang to pull some beautiful cloth, and make two clothes for Fu Bao." The third said.
"Well, there are still more than 20 taels of silver in the family, plus the 20 taels that your father gave today, you can make up enough for 40 taels, it must be enough to build a house, and the rest of the silver will be sent to Xiaoshu to go to a private school." The third daughter-in-law said happily.
"Well, tomorrow when Uncle Han Lin comes, return the ginseng to him, don't look at the ginseng, it is estimated that it can be sold for twenty or thirty taels, Fu Bao is not sensible, we can't take advantage of the danger of others." The third said.
"Now you say that you are taking advantage of people's danger, why didn't you say it when the boss was going to steal other people's bricks and tiles two days ago." The third daughter-in-law glanced at her man and said.
"I was thinking that when Uncle Hanlin's house was built, I would make up for the silver, where did I think that there would be wolves coming down the mountain, fortunately, I bit the skin, and there was not a piece of meat missing." The third child regretted.
"Let you steal things in the middle of the night, the wolves still think it's delicious."
"Probably, the beasts come out at night......"
The husband and wife whispered to each other, telling each other about their plans after separation, Xiaoshu listened to his father and mother, and slowly fell asleep in the sound.
Early the next morning, the third daughter-in-law got up early, today is the first day after the separation, she first cooked breakfast for her family, and baked cakes, ready to take them to the county, and eat two bites when she was hungry.
After making breakfast, the third daughter-in-law thought about it and went to the eldest daughter-in-law to ask for food, the father-in-law not only broke his leg, but also injured his shoulder, and the mother-in-law had to take care of people, so it was estimated that there was no time to cook breakfast.
The eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly took out the food and handed it to the third daughter-in-law, no wonder she likes the little daughter-in-law, people are just sensible, look at the eldest and second daughter-in-law, where would they think of this.
"Mother, today we are going to the county, what do you want to buy, I and Xianggong will help bring it back." The third daughter-in-law asked.
"Yes, you can help me buy some beautiful muslin, and pastries or something, and when they come, I will give a thank you gift." The eldest daughter-in-law took out five taels of silver from the box and said.
"Yes, I also want to buy some pastries and clothes, mother, or you can buy cotton cloth, buy a silver bracelet or a silver hairpin, almost two taels of silver, decent and generous."
"Yes, you can do it, and you made me lunch, your father can't do without people now." The eldest daughter-in-law was happy.
The third child waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning, waiting for the dew to wet his cotton clothes, only to see the black calf of the Xiang family running over quickly, with envy in his eyes, he also had to go up the mountain to find a little bison.
"Uncle Hanlin, I'll give this back to you." The third child ran over and handed the ginseng to Old Man Xiang.
Old Man Xiang looked at the third child in surprise, and had a new view of the third child in his heart.
