The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

I lay on the bed, closed my eyes happily, and fell asleep soon.

After Wang Zhuzi came out of Old Lady Wang’s room, he walked to the door of his own room and was about to push it open.

He put his hand on the door panel and then took it back, reached into the cloth wrapped in silver, felt around, took out about two taels of silver and put it in his arms.

Then she happily walked into the room. When Zhao Lishui saw Wang Zhuzi coming back, she moved sideways on the bed, facing Wang Zhuzi.

Wang Zhuzi put the silver in his arms on the bed, and the copper coins and silver made a crisp sound when they collided.

Zhao Lishui, who was used to hearing this sound in the shop, immediately recognized it as the sound made by many copper coins and silver coins colliding with each other.

He sat up and looked at Wang Zhuzi, asking in confusion, "Why did you bring it back? Didn't you count it and bring it over just now?"

Wang Zhuzi had been grinning. When he heard what Zhao Lishui said, he pretended to cough twice and said to Zhao Lishui with a stern face, "Mom doesn't want it. She said that she doesn't need to give us the money for raising pigs anymore. Let us keep it for ourselves."

After saying that, he secretly looked at Zhao Lishui to see if her reaction was the same as his just now. He also thought that Old Lady Wang wanted to separate from him.

After hearing what Wang Zhuzi said, Zhao Lishui asked Wang Zhuzi in disbelief: "Did mother really say that? Why doesn't she want the money we earned?"

Zhao Lishui couldn't understand why Old Lady Wang didn't ask them to put the silver in Zhonggong. Now every household would give the silver to the elderly as long as they hadn't split up.

Filial piety was the most important thing in the Great Xia Dynasty. If there was anyone in the family who disrespected the elders, not only the whole village would poke holes in your spine.

In serious cases, it would violate the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, and descendants might not be able to hold official positions because of unfilial behavior.

If the elderly file a lawsuit, the lightest punishment is tattooing, while in serious cases the victim may have his nose cut off or his feet chopped off.

Therefore, they are accustomed to obeying their elders in everything, because this is how they have been doing it for generations.

What's more, Old Lady Wang was very good to them. Although she liked to scold the two sisters-in-law when they were poor, she had never hit Zhao Lishui and Zhang Xing'er.

They never went hungry, and even when Zhao Lishui gave birth to a girl as her first child, Old Lady Wang did not blame her.

Instead, when people were still making fun of him, he took Wang Zhuzi to the other person's house and cursed them.

After coming back, he comforted Zhao Lishui not to be sad and said that one should not be sad during the confinement period.

He never treated Daya badly in daily life, and even made Wang Chengzi think carefully about her name.

Zhao Lishui still remembers the scene when Wang Chengzi mentioned Daya's name.

Wang Chengzi looked at Daya who was carefully held in Wang Zhuzi's arms, thought for a long time before saying: "Let's call her Ernian. Evening goodbye, fireworks every year; morning and evening, peace every year."

I explained the meaning of this sentence to my family and received affirmation from everyone in the family.

Old Mrs. Wang took Daya, who was just three months old, from Wang Zhuzi's arms. She saw that Zhao Lishui had not received any nutrition during her pregnancy because her family was poor.

As a result, although Daya was full-term when she was born, she looked skinny and skinny. Old Mrs. Wang touched Daya's little face with heartache.

He made a decision in front of the whole family: "Okay, let's call him Ernian, and our eldest daughter will be called Xiao Ernian from now on. From now on, we will be rich and prosperous every year, and we will all be safe every day."

Everyone in the Wang family treated this newborn child with hope and love.

No one dislikes Daya just because she is a girl.

When Daya was two or three years old, although Old Wang didn't say anything, he would bring back some food for Daya every time he went up the mountain or to the town.

Sometimes it was a handful of wild fruits, sometimes it was a snack worth a penny.

Although the things are not valuable, they are full of love and care for Daya.

Zhao Lishui kept it all in mind and was not like some other daughters-in-law who always thought about taking the money for their own family.

Because of Old Lady Wang's fairness and the unity of the Wang family, Zhao Lishui felt that it was a good idea to keep the money with Old Lady Wang.

Anyway, she is not short of money now. Old Lady Wang gives each of the two rooms one or two taels of silver every month.

Nor did they give extra money to Wang Chengzi's family just because Wang Chengzi needed money to go to private school.

Zhao Lishui was thinking about it on the side, and Wang Zhuzi was afraid that Zhao Lishui would also think that Old Lady Wang wanted to separate from them.

He did not keep the secret any longer and said to Zhao Lishui, "Our mother said that we can keep the money from selling the pigs ourselves. Our mother is worried about us."

Zhao Lishui was delighted to hear this. She didn't expect that Old Lady Wang would actually give them the silver and let them keep it for themselves.

You know, for a family that has not divided its property, it is rare to have four or five cents in hand.

I never thought of giving each room one or two taels of silver as pocket money every month like Old Lady Wang did.

Now, all the money for raising pigs in the future was directly given to their eldest wife, allowing them to keep it for themselves.

Zhao Lishui suddenly felt that she must have been very blessed in her previous life to have met such a sensible mother-in-law like Old Lady Wang in this life.

I thought that I must be more filial to Old Lady Wang in the future.

He immediately woke up and took the silver that Wang Zhuzi had placed on the bed.

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, opened the wardrobe and put the silver together with the pocket money that Old Lady Wang had given him.

He held the jar of silver and counted it again, then he blew out the oil lamp happily and lay down to sleep.

The next morning, Wang Zhuzi got up early as usual. The soap factory no longer needed Wang Zhuzi to deliver soap.

Now the merchants themselves came to the village to transport goods, so Wang Zhuzi could be more relaxed and concentrate on raising his pigs.

Today, Wang Zhuzi went to the pig house as usual to shovel out all the pig manure and pile it together.

Xiaomi said that she would keep the pig manure for use and asked Wang Zhuzi not to throw it away.

Wang Zhuzi remembered it clearly and followed Xiaomi's request to not throw away any of the pig manure. In a year, he had piled up several mountains of manure.

Because the smell was a bit strong, Wang Zhuzi also sprinkled a lot of millet on the dung hill and mixed it with rotten leaves and soil dug from the mountain.

After it was done, it was mixed with grass and bean dregs and put into the stone trough.

When the pigs smelled the food, they immediately gathered around and gulped down the pig feed in the stone trough.

Wang Zhuzi looked at the piglets in the pigpen with a smile and said to them, "That's right, just eat as much as you can. Only when you are full can you grow more meat."

He watched the pigs finish eating the food in the stone trough, then poured clean water into the trough before returning to Wang's house.

After breakfast, he took the initiative to ask to send the three brothers Goudan to the private school.

Goudan found Wang Zhuzi's positive attitude somewhat abnormal.

On weekdays, Wang Zhuzi deeply adhered to Old Lady Wang's idea that boys should be raised freely, and as long as they didn't go too far, he would let the three brothers grow up freely.
