The female partner who is about to wear resigns

Chapter 21

When he got home, there was no one else, so Zhang Lin asked Grandpa Zhang in dissatisfaction: "Master, why did you give them half of the money for selling ginseng! That's obviously the ginseng that the third sister dug up."

When other people at the dinner table heard this, they also looked at Grandpa Zhang.

Grandpa Zhang didn't answer directly. Thinking of his granddaughter's performance today, he looked at Zhang Xing: "Xing'er, tell me why I gave them half of the money."

Zhang Xing thought for a while: "I think there are two reasons why grandpa gave half of the money to them: First, after we sold the ginseng, people in the village might think that we got rich, and when the time comes, we will borrow some from this one and some from that other. If we don’t borrow, some people will definitely say that we forget our roots when we are rich. After all, people in the village have helped us before. But if we borrow, no matter how much money we have to borrow every day. Besides, my father’s illness, what will happen? We don’t know how much we spent, but if we give them the feeling that we are rich, they won’t believe us if we really run out of money.”

"Secondly, Brother Xiaosong is a scholar after all, and he might have a big future in the future. Although sister Liu'er was at fault for this incident, they will feel resentful if they don't make it right. Let's stay on the front line and give up some of the money. Let's stand on our feet. , and it seems to be kind and righteous, even if Brother Xiaosong is promising in the future, if he wants to take revenge on us, it will be untenable."

Grandpa Zhang stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this smart granddaughter, "There is another point, that everyone thinks that we are right and stand on our side, but people will sympathize with the weak. It's better, their life is not good, even if it's not our reason, some people will say that we do things absolutely. Moreover, they still call me grandpa. Although the relationship is far away, outsiders don't care about it , will only feel that we are cruel, and even relatives will not be given a way to survive. We still have to live in the village, if people leave such an impression, who will dare to associate with our family in the future?"

The human heart is a complicated thing to torture.

Everyone was thoughtful when they heard Grandpa Zhang's words.

In the afternoon, Grandpa Zhang drove Zhang Lin and Zhang Xing for an hour, and finally reached the county town on both feet. When he was hungry on the road, he ate the cake baked by Zhang’s mother, and when he was thirsty, he drank the water he brought. Zhang Xing complained, If I hadn't experienced the apocalypse myself, I really couldn't stand this pure 11-way transportation.

After we arrived in the county seat, they went straight to Xinglintang, the largest medicine shop, and sold two ginseng plants, because the one in Zhang Xing Space was of particularly good quality and not too old, and sold for a total of 90 taels of silver.

When the owner of the shop said that the two plants totaled 90 taels, Grandpa Zhang and Second Brother Zhang stared round their eyes, opened their mouths, and looked dumbfounded.The real villain inside was roaring crazily.

"Oh my god! 90 taels! This is not a dream! I have never seen so much silver in my life! The ancestral grave is really smoking!"

You know, a peasant family whose family savings have never exceeded 100 copper coins and owed a lot of foreign debts was suddenly slapped on the forehead by 90 taels of silver, and they restrained themselves if they didn't yell directly.

Seeing them like this, Zhang Xing stepped forward and said to the shop owner, "Please give me 8 pieces of 10 taels of silver bills, 8 taels of broken silver, and the remaining 2 taels of copper coins." Their family owed a lot. 2 The foreign debt of two silver coins, these copper coins just went back to pay the debt.

After getting the money, Zhang Xing stuffed the banknotes and scattered silver into the skirt of his clothes, actually putting them into the space.In this way, neither afraid of pickpockets nor lost.The remaining two slings of money were stuffed into the hands of the grandfather and the second elder brother.They hurriedly stuffed them into the secret pockets that Zhang's mother sewed inside the clothes before they left.

Zhang Xing led them to buy some daily necessities in the county seat, picked out a few bolts of cloth according to the colors the family could wear, and cut a few catties of meat. Originally, she wanted lean meat, but grandpa insisted on fat meat , said that fatty meat is delicious, and it can consume some oil.In the end, Zhang Xing bought some needles and threads for the elder sister to make a show, and picked two flowers for her, and went to buy a pack of maltose for the younger brother Zhang.

This bag of candy made Second Brother Zhang feel bad, and he kept saying, "Why spend this money? Isn't this a waste of money? It's okay if I don't eat this..."

Zhang Xing was overwhelmed by his nagging, and directly stuffed one into his mouth.

Well, the world is finally quiet.

When returning home, Grandpa Zhang decided to hire an ox cart, mainly because he had a huge sum of money with him, fearing that something might happen on the road.

Zhang Xing said: If there is a robbery, it is not certain who will be the robber.

Back home, Zhang Xing felt the benefits of Grandpa Zhang hiring a bullock cart.

Because the ox cart was going fast, when they came back, everyone in the village was working in the fields. After about an hour, people from the family came to the door one after another, and they all came to find out how much ginseng they had sold.

Seeing these people, Zhang Xing really felt that grandpa was too smart. If they walked back, they would definitely be blocked by the villagers. At that time, when the villagers saw the pile of things they bought, they would be counted as them. If you take out the 30 taels for selling that ginseng, you will be guessed that it is a bit ambiguous.

Grandpa Zhang took out the two slings of money, and first returned the money to those who had already arrived at home.Then Grandpa Zhang took the money again and paid off the money owed by every family.

Finally, he knocked on Zhang Liu's door.

"Today, the ginseng sold for 30 taels, and this is 15 taels. You keep it, and I'll go back right away." Grandpa Zhang handed Zhang Song a 10 taels of silver bill and 5 taels of broken silver, and turned around. Walk.

"Grandpa, I can't take this money. This matter is Liu'er's fault. You don't need to pay." Zhang Song refused.

"Don't rush to refuse, listen to me. Your parents left early, and I know what's going on at home. Since you call me uncle, I will take care of your brothers and sisters for them. I didn't have the ability before. Now that I can help, how can I just stand aside and watch. I know that you are almost at the end of the day, so if you study hard, you will be promising in the future, and you will be honoring your parents."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Song's eyes turned red, "Grandpa..."

"Okay, I'm leaving, let's go back to eat quickly." After finishing speaking, he sighed and left with his hands behind his back.

"I'll take you."

"It's just a few steps away, what are you sending, go back to eat quickly." Grandpa Zhang waved his hand, signaling him to go back.

Zhang Song held the silver and stood at the door, watching Grandpa Zhang's back disappearing into the darkness bit by bit, feeling sour in his heart.

"Brother, what are you looking at? Don't think he is kind. If they hadn't come to make trouble today, the 30 taels would be ours. Now it's their turn to pretend to be good people here! Also, he said sell If you pay 30 taels, it will be 30 taels? Maybe he didn’t pay much!”

Zhang Song turned his head little by little, looking at his sister who was muttering in surprise, as if he knew his sister for the first time, "When did your mind become so dark and even vicious?"

Zhang Liu looked at his brother in disbelief, "Brother! You say I have a vicious mind? Who am I doing this for? If it wasn't for you to hand over Xiu, why would I want to cheat Zhang Xing's ginseng! If it wasn't because of you studying , how could the family be getting poorer? If the family had no income, how could I find a way to make money!"

Zhang Song stared blankly at his younger sister's lips fluttering up and down, as if someone had hit his head with a stick, he screamed indiscriminately.It turned out that my younger sister, whom I loved since childhood, actually thought so. She felt that her family was getting poorer and poorer because of her study, and it was her study that made her tired.But all he spent on his studies was his mother's dowry, and he spent all the money left by his father and stepmother on his younger sister.Is there any girl in the village who wears new clothes every year and can even wear flowers on her hair?

If the family has no income, then I sell some calligraphy and paintings every year. What is the money I earn from copying books for the bookstore?
And he has insisted on studying hard all these years, mostly because he wants to earn a future for himself and his younger sister, so as to prevent their brothers and sisters from being bullied, so that his younger sister can find a good family in the future.Their grandparents passed away one after another, and there was no elder in the family to take care of them, and the two brothers and sisters were still young. If he couldn't earn a future, what would happen to their brothers and sisters can be imagined.

Look at Erhan at the east end of the village. He also has no relatives at home. At the beginning, the people in the village felt sorry for him and would give him some food and drink. Relying on the pity of others, how can he live for long, and the villagers are not rich. Barely able to eat and wear.If he can't make a way out, he will be like Erhan, wandering around the village all day long, and every time it's time to eat, he just picks up some from one house and another, and no one cares if his clothes are torn or short , What is the purpose of living like that, but living by the face of others.

Zhang Liu saw that his elder brother was pale, he was covering his chest with one hand, and was panting violently. He regretted what he said just now, so he quickly supported his elder brother's arm with both hands, "Brother, what I said just now was because I was out of breath. Yes, I am Only when Zhang Xing and his family got so angry would they say something unscrupulously, I didn't mean it, so don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhang Song withdrew his arm from her little by little, "You are still like this. Whenever you do something wrong, you put the blame on others and never find the reason from yourself. I didn't teach you well, yes My fault." He walked out slowly, and when he reached the door, he stopped again.

Zhang Liu was overjoyed, it was like this before, when he did something wrong, his elder brother never had the heart to scold him.This time I just said something wrong, and my brother will definitely forgive me.

"Also, all I spent on studying these years was the dowry left by my mother, and I didn't touch a cent of the money left by my father and second mother."

Zhang Liu's face turned pale all of a sudden, no matter how angry his brother was before, he never called him his mother.Today...today...what the hell is going on?

Zhang Liu panicked.

Is my brother really disappointed in himself?
But... But I only said a few words wrong, how could there be such serious consequences!
If only Zhang Xing and the others didn't come to ask for ginseng today, there wouldn't be so many things, and I wouldn't make my brother angry.

Yes, it was because of Zhang Xing and the others that his brother felt that he had made him ashamed, so he was so angry.

And they even sent 15 taels of silver to my brother, my brother must have been bought by their little favors!Only then will all the anger be vented on himself!

No, I have to earn money tomorrow, and my brother will forgive me if I have money!

But what can I do?

She wandered around the house nervously, talking to herself for a long time, and finally thought of a way, "I can make some soil explosives, and then use them to go hunting in the mountains! This can be the magic weapon of the traverser, and other traveler predecessors can rely on this If you turn over, you can do it yourself!"

Yes, Zhang Liu was time-traveled, but it was through tires.That's why I know ginseng that ordinary farmers don't know, and I open a restaurant later, save the male partner, meet the prince, and have that wonderful life.
