Jiaojiao sauce Wadasi multi-child multi-blessing system Smecta

Chapter 54: The Rough General Who Protects the Country vs. the Arrogant and Unfaithful Widow 5

Meng Jiao didn't know all this. She just happened to pass by the pheasant nest indicated by the system, kicked two pheasants to death with stones, and took the eggs and put them in the basket. That's all...

She didn't want to go back and eat buns. The two at home were starving like bamboo poles. She wanted to make up for it. Sorry, pheasant sauce~

Yuan Youqian was holding a chicken and looking at the elder sister who was carrying a basket on her back with admiration. He had snatched the chicken, so he couldn't let the elder sister take so much.

My sister has become so powerful, as powerful as the General Zhongwu who fought off the Hu people in the legend!

In the village, Yuan Youcai was leaning on a stick and looking out the gate, his face full of anxiety.

Just now, several women came with their men to ask for an explanation. He was confused when he heard them say that Meng Jiao had injured someone.

He didn't believe this at all. His niece had been a good kid since she was young. She wanted to stay at home and not go out. If she hadn't come to help him pick wild vegetables, cook and take care of the children, she might not have gone out at all.

But as they left, another family came, all saying that Meng Jiao had hurt them. They kept yelling for a long time, but when they saw that Meng Jiao was not at home and they could not produce any evidence, they all left.

After all, Meng Jiao knew her limits when she hit people. Except for the cursing widow Cao, whose mouth was really torn and several teeth were knocked out, the others were just more skillful, and after a while, even the wounds could not be found. They could only come and look for their existence while cursing and then go back.

Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, he hesitated for a while, then locked the gate and planned to go look for the two kids.

When he turned around, Meng Jiao was carrying a large lump on her back, and Yuan Youqian was looking at him in confusion.

"Uncle, where are you going so late?"

Yuan Youcai was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and took his child down from Meng Jiao's arms. How could this child be so ignorant and still ask his sister to hold him?

Putting the basket down at the door, Meng Jiao carried Jiang Yunye back to her own courtyard and placed him on her wooden bed.

Well, this wooden bed is only two meters long, and when a man lies on it, his feet are exposed.

But there was no other way. The house in the next yard had not been cleaned yet, and Meng Jiao was very tired today, so she had no time to clean it for him.

After putting the man down, Meng Jiao went to the next room to explain the situation to Yuan Youcai. Before leaving, she covered him with her original thin blanket and winter clothes.

At the gate of the next door, Yuan Youcai's action of unlocking the door woke up the little kid in his arms. The kid held the dead chicken in his arms tightly and was dazed for a moment. Then he woke up immediately. After seeing the situation clearly, he jumped down to help.

While unlocking the door, he asked his stunned father,

"Where's my sister? Dad, have you seen my cousin?"

The little guy's voice finally woke up Yuan Youcai, who was immersed in the dream that Jiao had just carried a man into the yard as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Youcai slapped his thigh and said "Ouch!" and was about to go to the next room.

Meng Jiao just came out, walked past Yuan Youcai, picked up the full basket on the ground and walked towards the yard.

"Uncle, what are you doing at the door? Come into the yard quickly. I have something to tell you."

"Dad, go in quickly, something important has happened."

Yuan Youcai swallowed his saliva and thought to himself that something was wrong. She was sneaking home to have a man secretly. This kid must have been angry about what others said and gone astray.

Turning back into the yard, Meng Jiao had already brought two large basins from the kitchen and placed them on the table in the yard.

Meng Jiao took out the things in the basket one by one, putting two pheasants in one side and taking out the rat snake and eggs at the bottom.

In the horrified eyes of the big and small, Meng Jiao continued to take out the two silver notes wrapped in change.

It was hard to see clearly outside, so Meng Jiao invited them into the house and lit the oil lamp that she usually didn't want to use.

The big and the small looked at each other, and after a while, Yuan Youqian chose to hold the basin with the chicken and ran into the house first.

Yuan Youcai looked at the snake that was as thick as an adult's arm and cursed the boy for being unfilial.

After hesitating for a long time, he turned his head, tucked the basin under his left arm and followed into the house. If he was not mistaken, the little girl was gesturing with silver bills. He had to go in and see what was going on.

In the room, Meng Jiao finally saw the face value of the banknotes in the light. One was worth 100 taels and the other was worth 50 taels.

In this era, one penny is equivalent to one dollar in modern times, and one tael of broken silver is equivalent to one thousand dollars. This one hundred and fifty taels is enough for a countryman to live a simple life for a family for ten years.

However, Mengjiao didn't care about this little money. She was used to the palace's Manchu and Han banquets, so she couldn't live such a luxurious life. But it was impossible for her to live in coarse linen clothes all the time.

What's more, the original body's wish is to leave the village and let Yuan Youqian and his second uncle live a good life.

In this era, if you want to get away from the countryside, you can either go into business or take the imperial examination. If you are more adventurous, you can go to the front line. However, the Hu people are relatively stable recently, so the path of making achievements may not be feasible for the time being.

Meng Jiao has made up her mind. With the mountain at her back, she will eat the mountain.

When the time comes, send your child to school with money. Whether he passes the exam or not is another matter. At least the child will learn some knowledge and not go astray.

Well, before that, she must change the rustic name given by her second uncle. It sounds like the two of them are like brothers. It should be said that the second uncle is very straightforward in naming.

Seeing the two people follow into the house, Meng Jiao handed a hundred taels of silver to Yuan Youcai.

"Uncle, put it away."

Yuan Youcai took it and looked at it. Wow! One hundred taels!

He had only seen a banknote once in his life, when the old man used it to buy land. But that was only twenty taels, not to mention a hundred taels. This was the first time he had ever seen one.

Although he was reluctant to part with it, Yuan Youcai still handed it back to Meng Jiao.

"Jiaojiao, uncle tells you that although our family is a little poor now, we can't steal from others.

Today, my second uncle went to talk to the village chief and told him to sell the two mu of good farmland in the east to the villagers. He could get more than ten taels of silver at that time.

Anyway, my second uncle can't farm now, so if he sells the land, it will be enough for you two to live on for several years. You mustn't do anything stupid, or you will go to jail."

Meng Jiao laughed out loud. Although she knew he meant well, his serious expression really looked funny.

"Ahem, Uncle, I didn't steal. Am I that kind of person? Besides, who in our village has a hundred taels of silver?"

Yuan Youcai was stunned. Yes,

"Then Jiaojiao, you..."

Meng Jiao was very hungry, so she took out the buns she hadn't used up from the system exchange and handed them to the rich kid who was staring at the chicken in the basin and almost drooling.

"Hey, this, this, Jiaojiao you?"

Meng Jiao stuffed a bun into Yuan Youcai's hand, nodded to him, and said what she had thought of earlier.

After all, she had no intention of hiding anything in the future. She was not someone who would be wronged.

"That's right, Second Uncle. As you can see, I met an old immortal this afternoon. In just one short period of time, I felt like I had gone through many years. When I woke up, I found that I was extremely strong, extremely intelligent, and had good luck. (Is it okay to brag about myself like this...)

Look, I saved a man on the mountain, and these banknotes are the reward from that man for saving me. Uh, I also picked up two chickens when I came down the mountain."

Seeing that Yuan Youcai was still looking at the buns, Meng Jiao continued to add,

"Oh yes, the old immortal also gave me some special abilities, but I can't tell you about this, Uncle. If I tell you, I will lose these abilities, you understand."

Hearing this, Yuan Youcai immediately came back to his senses. People in this era believed in ghosts and gods very much, so he quickly covered his mouth and nodded, indicating that he would not ask, but quietly added,

"Is it harmful to your health?"

Meng Jiao shook her head with relief, took the two chickens to the kitchen to boil water, and left Uncle Yuan to hold the big white buns and digest them by himself.

Yuan Youqian ate his bun in a few bites, and saw his father holding the bun and not eating it.

"What's wrong, Dad? Don't you like meat buns? I can help you."

Yuan Youcai slapped his hand away, not caring whether Jiaojiao had really hit someone during the day, and took a bite of the meat bun.

Brat, he said he was unfilial, huh!

My god, the bun's skin is so soft.

He dared to guarantee that there were no meat buns as delicious as these in any of the surrounding villages, no, even in the county town.
