Chapter 280: Awakening
After the incident passed, Hanyu took the child back to the village to live for two days, and Jiang Yonglin also followed, and invited the people who came to help that day to have a meal at Li's house. When Hanyu saw Yun Xue, she quietly told Yun Xue that she had hidden the silver.
Yun Xue pursed her lips, and said in her heart, if you hide it again, where else can you hide? You don't have the ability to hide your money in a graveyard. Besides, others have long known that your family has money, and there will always be people who will worry about it in the future.
However, Yun Xue didn't say it explicitly, but just told Hanyu to be careful, "I think you might as well buy some land, so that the family has more property, and you can turn that silver into something that cannot be stolen." Besides, you don't have any cattle at home, so you can just buy one, and then you can farm more quickly. Look at the rest, in short, buy more things to live by, you hold all the money in your hands, you can only invite trouble. ”
Hanyu looked at Yun Xue with sparkling eyes, "Oh, if you don't say it, I really can't think of it." Isn't it? When they buy land, they can't break a piece of it. Yunxue, thank you, you still have a brain. "At this time, people generally hold money in their hands, and few people think about buying some industry or something.
Yun Xue shook her head, in fact, she herself had silver in her hand, and there was nowhere to spend it. She wanted to buy some land, but she couldn't find a suitable one, and the family's silver was kept hidden. "Sister Hanyu, if there is wasteland near your house, you can also buy some. Look at my house, sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans and so on are planted in the wasteland. Although it is a little worse than serious food, it is not easy to lose, and it is mixed with food, which is actually quite useful. ”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with the child's father when I go back. It's almost spring, if you have a suitable one to buy it, clean it up, and you can plant it. In the autumn, how much can be filled, and then people don't eat, so it's good to keep pigs and chickens or something. Hanyu felt that this was indeed a good idea.
It wasn't clear how Hanyu discussed with Jiang Yonglin, but the two stayed at Li's house for two days and went back. Later, I heard from Grandma Li that the two of them bought five acres of good land and more than ten acres of wasteland, and they really listened to Yunxue's words to do it.
After the second day of February, the weather gradually began to warm up, but people often came to beg in the village. Some of these people are really old and look quite pitiful, but there are also some people who are not very old at all, but they seem to have come out to follow them.
In the first few days, Yun Xue saw those who were older and would give them something to eat. But she found that those people came back the next day, and they recognized Yun Xue's house, so they squatted at the door of Han's house and didn't leave. Only then did Yun Xue realize that she had inadvertently caused trouble. Later, Tianfu and others came out and drove these people away.
"Eldest sister, some of them don't have nothing to eat at home, they just do it on purpose. Don't give people anything to eat in the future, these people don't deserve your sympathy now. Tianfu persuaded.
Yun Xue sighed, she always thought that people in this year were very real, and no one would give up their faces, so they had to run out to beg. As a result, there are really people who have refreshed their own concepts. "Hey, I know, I won't." This incident taught her a lesson, that is, she can't sympathize with others at will, and if she doesn't do it well, she will be relied on by others.
"Actually, there aren't many villages near us that really can't eat. Eldest sister, you have to think so, even if everyone's corn was lost last year, but the imperial court is also tax-free, so compared to previous years, it will be worse, but it will not be much. Yunni sat on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes in her hands, and took them stitch by stitch. Although she couldn't bear to see the eldest sister in such a depressed look, there were some things she had to say, because the eldest sister was fascinated by compassion.
"There are very few people who really can't get by, that is, those who have no labor at home, or no land at home, or all of them planted corn last year. This year's food prices are too high, so they will not be able to live. The rest of the people, tightening their belts, can still get past it. Like these people who have come to beg recently, I feel that they are either unable to get by at all, or they are just out to find a bargain. Yun Ni was very ruthless in telling the truth.
"Eldest sister, it's not that you can't see clearly, you just think that we still have food at home, so you can't see others starving. But you also have to think about it, if these people have other ideas, if one day they start to grab food, then what will our family do in the future? It's not that a few of us can solve all of them with a little effort, and if there are too many people, we won't be able to deal with them. Tianfu also said on the side.
They all know that in fact, their eldest sister is a person whose compassion is easily overflowing, otherwise they would not have saved Tianfu and Jinxiu. But the situation is different now, they can no longer let the eldest sister be so sympathetic to others, so sooner or later they will get into trouble. I believe that after the events of the past few days, the eldest sister should be able to understand in her heart.
Yun Xue nodded, "I know, it's that I'm too simple." In the past few years, our family has been able to get to the point where it is today, and it has always been inseparable from the help of others. Uncle Qian, Master, Grandma Zhong, as well as many people in the village and the wooden handles on the mountain, they all helped me a lot. So now that I feel like I'm a little bit capable of helping others, I should lend a hand. Alas, I didn't think it all through enough. ”
"Girl, you should know that the big guy helped you, that's because you didn't have the intention of deceiving people. You are honest and self-reliant, which is why we want to help you. You are different from those people who deliberately come out to beg, they don't want to live a good life, they just want to get something for nothing. Maybe someone will help them the first time, but later, after discovering their true colors, people will not reach out to help again. Dong Lao came in from outside and said with a serious face.
"There is no such thing as good in this world, and it is the same between people. The big guys help you, most of them are looking at your father's face. But you children are serious and willing to work hard, and you know how to be grateful. For those who have helped you, you will remember in your hearts that you will return the favor when you have the opportunity. After getting along for a long time, everyone will only like you more, so intentionally or unintentionally, as long as you have something, others will help. Got it? ”
Dong Lao's words were like an initiation, which made Yun Xue sober up. "Master, I understand."
"It's good to understand, we don't mean that you won't be allowed to help others, but more often than not, we still have to think about it. Now that the world is too chaotic, it's already very good that we can protect ourselves, so it's better to get into less trouble. Dong Lao said very seriously.
After some education from her family, Yun Xue also has a long memory, and when she sees those who come to the door to ask for food, she can harden her heart and ignore it.
The Han family's plan to build a house has spread all over the nearby villages, and the big guys are talking about it behind their backs, when did the Han family live such a good life? You know, building a house is a big deal, and it costs a lot of money. The Han family lived such an inconspicuous life, and suddenly said that they were going to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law for Yun Zhen, which surprised everyone too much.
However, there are others who say something else. They all knew that Yunlin was someone else's child, and everyone saw that situation when Yunlin walked with others. Later, Yunlin always sent people to send things back, and everyone knew about it. So, the big guys all said that it must be Yunlin's father and mother who didn't know how much money was left to the Han family at that time. Think about it and know that if you raise a child for them, where can you not give any benefits and let people take the child away for nothing?
Some people also said, isn't that Shen Gongzi optimistic about Yunxue? I can't figure it out if it's the silver sent by Shen Gongzi. Yun Xue has found such a rich and noble son, where can she be missing her silver flowers?
Anyway, the spring ploughing has not yet begun, and these women are idle, and they have nothing to do for a day. When a few women get together, there is really nothing else to do except talk about some short things in the family.
"Do you see? A few days ago, someone sent two large carts of things to the Han family, and when I looked at it, it seemed that they were all food. How good, the Han family is sure that there is no shortage of food to eat. Look at the little ones in their family, all of them are smart and chubby, and they don't look hungry at all. How much money does this have to be to afford these half-grown children? Alas, people have to die more than people, and compared with the Han family, that's too far behind. A daughter-in-law said.
"Alas, it's hard. You said that at this time, which of our big guys has tightened their belts and can save their lives? The children's hungry eyes were green, and our boy got up hungry in the middle of the night and cried. There's no way, there is only so much food at home, if you don't save a little, where can you deal with the autumn harvest? Looking at the child like that, I feel really uncomfortable. The other daughter-in-law talked about her own children.
Several daughters-in-law were almost at home, and each sighed. "If our family had food, who would be willing to let our children starve?"
"You guys, if you really can't do it, go to Han's house to borrow some food. Yunxue's girl's temperament, although she is a little irritable, but generally if you ask her to borrow something, it is still quite happy. Besides, the other day I watched her serve the food she asked for. She can help those who ask for food, and the neighbors, open their mouths to borrow something, she can't say anything, right? "It was Cui Er's daughter-in-law who spoke.
