Chapter 38 Since then, the two have been cleared
"Elder Shen, hurry up, I don't deserve such a big gift from you." Zhao Hong hurriedly held up Shen Lao's arm and mixed the person up.
"Mrs. Zhao has fulfilled my thoughts for decades, please be sure to instruct the old man on what to do next. Yun Niang has been wandering for decades, and the old man only hopes that she can be reincarnated safely and be reborn into a good family in the next life. ”
"The children and grandchildren in the family who are not angry are all Yun Niang's blood, and the old man can't watch them lose their luck!"
When Shen Lao said this, he burst into tears.
Zhao Hong coughed, and the old gentleman didn't listen to a word of what he said in the Shen family.
"Everything has a step-by-step process, as long as Shen Lao is honest, the old lady must have a good afterlife. But the deceased has passed away, and excessive concern will break the blessings. As for the blessings of the descendants, in addition to Shen Lao, you have to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and they must also get rid of their bad habits and become great good people, so that they can erase the karma of the past. ”
Zhao Hong can only lead people to goodness, and the follow-up things depend on how the Shen family acts, and there will inevitably be retribution for doing too many bad things.
It's not that Zhao Hong believes in the cycle of cause and effect, but that people's fortune is limited, and there will naturally be bad luck after excessive consumption. And the evil things done by the previous generation will also bear the consequences of the next generation, and the so-called repayment of the debt of the father and the son is this truth.
Shen Lao listened very carefully, and seeing his gradually determined expression, Zhao Hong knew that he already had a plan.
As a 'fortune teller', Zhao Hong has said too much, and he lacks the posture of a master.
It rained heavily for another day before it cleared, and the road was muddy, if it weren't for Shen Lao being a big customer, Zhao Hong would really be too lazy to go out, afraid that the old arms and legs would be broken.
Several children of the Zhou family came over every day to help sort out the medicinal materials, and Zhao Hong moved his mouth most of the time, but he had a better understanding of these juniors.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Huo like to cook and have talents, but Zhou Wang, the son of the Zhou family, is the best at female popularity, but Zhou Xing is the most attentive to dealing with medicinal materials and is willing to learn, and Zhou Liu's personality is most similar to Zhou Xinghua, and he doesn't particularly like anything at present, but he can get started with everything.
Before going out, Zhao Hong came out with two pieces of cloth and said to a few people who were picking out medicinal materials: "These two pieces of cloth, you make a new body according to these two boys, and make two bodies for Yi Ning." You should have enough to keep for yourselves a new garment. ”
Although Zhao Hong is not good at needlework, he has the memory of the original owner, and the amount of cloth can still be estimated.
"Auntie doesn't need to do this, just make two sets of clothes, and you can make them in a day or two. There are rags at home, and my aunt doesn't dislike me and my second brother to make you a few more pairs of shoes. Zhou Yang said busily.
"This is the rule of the aunt, if you don't want to do it, then the aunt will go to someone else." Zhao Hong said with a straight face.
Zhou Yang and the second brother glanced at each other, and they both understood that Zhao Hong wanted to help them, otherwise they would find a woman with good needlework in the village to make clothes, and it would be enough to give a few pennies at most for the size of the child.
"Then thank you, auntie." Zhou Yang touched the patch on his shirt that was torn again, and his eyes were red.
"I remember that you have a cart at home, Zhou Huo, you can repair it if you see it, and you have to go into the mountains to pick some big leaves, and then you will go to the stall to test the water." Zhao Hong said to Zhou Huo again.
She is more interested in making money, but the foundation of the family is too thin.
"Then I'll go back and fix it now!" Zhou Huo hurriedly turned around and ran back.
"This monkey." Zhao Hong smiled and nodded at Zhou Huo's back, glanced at a few small ones who were squatting on the ground and practicing big characters with a sand table, and said with a smile: "Don't patronize practicing calligraphy, get up in half an hour to do some work to move your muscles and bones, and teach them a few words by the way." ”
Zhou Wang raised his head suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears, did he also have a chance to read?
Zhao Hong just didn't see Zhou Wang's hot eyes, some things can't be done overnight, she is willing to train these juniors when she has time, and they will be good helpers in the future.
Zhao Hong calmly went to the kitchen to give Shen Lao today's meal, this is the last day, and I don't know if I can collect another sum of silver.
This home is too dilapidated, you have to take advantage of the summer to build two new houses, and the courtyard wall must be reinforced, otherwise you will have to suffer in winter, Zhao Hong doesn't want to keep the silver but can't freeze out of the bed.
On the way to the foot of the mountain, Zhao Hong had already built a rough standard for building a house in his mind, and he just had to go back and ask how much silver taels he needed before making a decision.
"Daddy! Do you have to force me to die? You have already killed my mother, do you still want to kill me for the rest of my life? That widower has killed several daughters-in-law, and if you sell me to him, you won't give me a way to live! ”
"If I don't go, you just kill me, and I won't go! Don't you hurt apricot blossoms? Let her get married, and let her pay for the medicine for her mother-in-law! ”
Before Zhao Hong walked to the thatched house, he saw the Chrysanthemum family pulling and pulling, but Chrysanthemum was punched and kicked but still yelling, not covering up the ugliness of the family at all, and no longer pretending to be cowardly.
"If you don't go, you have to go, what people want is that you have a hard life, and you can live if you can support it!"
"Lao Tzu has raised you for more than ten years, and it is also appropriate to sell you, if you are disobedient, I will break your leg and carry you over!"
Daddy Chrysanthemum put down his cruel words, and he didn't talk about the father-daughter relationship at all.
Zhao Hong squinted at this scene, and in order not to get into trouble, he was ready to take a detour.
In ancient times, it was legal for parents to sell their children, if Chrysanthemum was really a kind and good girl, Zhao Hong would also consider rescuing her, but saving Chrysanthemum must be the end of the farmer and the snake.
"Auntie! You save me, save me! ”
"I made Brother Lin Yuan a concubine, and I gave him all my body, even if I have no name, I am willing to follow him and serve his aunt for him. Please, as long as my aunt saves me, I will use my aunt as a cow and a horse, and I promise that I will not mess up my aunt! ”
Chrysanthemum didn't know where to get the strength, broke free from the younger brothers who grabbed her, and rushed towards Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong frowned, the basket containing 'Fu Shui' almost fell, looked at the chrysanthemum with a blue nose and swollen face, and looked at the chrysanthemum father who was watching from a distance, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Whether you came here intentionally or unintentionally, I advise you to stop calculating. Your family is a nuisance in itself, and whoever gets involved is unlucky. ”
Zhao Hong took out the cuffs, took out a silver ingot from it and stuffed it into the chrysanthemum, and said softly: "I said that I would add makeup to you, and from now on, the two will be clear." With your ability to forbear, you don't have to worry about not being able to live, and those who have hands and feet can be more difficult than when you were a child? ”
The last sentence was reminded by Zhao Hong's kindness as a human being, and it was none of her business whether Chrysanthemum could hear it.
Bypassing the chrysanthemum, Zhao Hong warned in a low voice: "Don't pester me anymore, let them know that I gave you makeup, you won't be able to keep this silver." ”
The chrysanthemum who was about to speak fell to her knees and cried, but Zhao Hong walked to the thatched house without changing her face, turning a deaf ear to the scolding voices behind her.
Entering the small courtyard, seeing Shen Lao sitting on a stool and looking out, the little maid standing on his feet to watch the excitement, Zhao Hong couldn't help laughing: "Shen Lao is interested, can't you see that girl's thoughts, is she trying to meet a good person to rescue?" ”
