Butcher and little girl

Ferocious beasts invaded all the year round, and the Great Wall Guards lost batch after batch. In the second year of Bai Funuan's becoming the Great Wall Guards, he died in a battle of fierce beasts, and his body was tied to the iron chains of the Great Wall. ?, when he was pulled back, his face was completely changed. His bones were burned to ashes and sent back to Leshan County. His father, Bai Lin, was overwhelmed with grief and caused old illnesses, and he has been bedridden ever since.

The saddest thing is Ding Rao, with grief and remorse, she should not have brought Bai Funuan to join the army, otherwise even if she is married at this time, she will be able to take care of her husband and raise children at home with peace of mind, and her life will be stable and prosperous, so that she will not end up in the end But he became a lonely soul on the edge of the Great Wall.

Since then, Ding Rao has become extremely active and brave every time he goes out on a mission, taking the lead. Where the soldiers are in danger, she wants to participate more. Chu Yu's repeated attempts to dissuade him are ineffective, and every time he comes back from a mission, he is full of scars.

During the massive invasion of ferocious beasts five years ago, the situation was very urgent. All the female soldiers were mobilized, and their blue battle uniforms were flying around the city wall. The fierce beast beheaded on the city wall?

One after another sisters died on the Great Wall one after another, and the scene was very tragic.

Chu Yu's leg was caught by the rope and could not avoid the attack of a fierce beast. He was about to be bitten off? Ding Rao risked his life to save his head.

The other party's hot and humid blood sprayed her all over her face, and Ding Rao choked on her mouth? The blood said, "...Ayu, don't be afraid."

Chu Yu brought Ding Rao, who was on his last breath, back to the camp, and after explaining what happened behind him, Ding Rao finally followed Bai Funuan.

Enduring the grief, Chu Yu fought with the guards and fierce beasts to the death. With the joint tenacious resistance of many capable men and strangers, he defeated the leader of the fierce beasts, Taotie, wiped out all the mortal enemies, and finally won the ?victory.

And when the war ended, there were corpses all over the Great Wall. How many heroes and sons and daughters could not return home, which is heartbreaking.

Chu Yu was finally able to go home. When he came back, he got the news that his father had died of a serious illness. The Bai family found his body and did something for him.

The son wanted to support her but her mother would not wait for her. Chu Yu knelt in front of her father's grave, weeping uncontrollably. She had seen too many lives and deaths in these years, which made her lively and passionate temperament begin to sink, and the expression on her face The smiles also gradually decreased. Before I came back, I was almost a walking corpse for a few months, and I lived in a muddle every day.

But life still has to go, and Chu Yu finally settled down to continue living.

She grew up in the White Mansion since she was a child, and she has never farmed. The fields in her hometown are all rented out to others for farming, and she has no special skills. All these years of the army left her with only the strength to fight. The ?

By chance, I met an old butcher. The old butcher took a fancy to her ruthlessness, took her with me, and taught her how to butcher pigs, so she finally got a job to eat.

When she first came back, the Bai family took her there, and Master Bai was still brooding over what happened back then.

Chu Yu originally wanted to refute, but when she thought about what Ding Rao said on her deathbed after Ding Rao sacrificed her life to save her, she felt that she had brought Bai Funuan out to apologize to the whole family of the Bai family. Bai's father is weak and sick, and his younger brother Bai Fuhong is still young. If Chu Yu can go back alive in the future, I hope she can help take care of them.

Even though Chu Yu still had some resentment about helping two friends take the blame back then, all of these seemed so insignificant and not worth mentioning during the days when he was killing the enemy at the border.

And in that war, he was the one who should have died, if not for Ding Rao——

Chu Yu thought of Bai Lin again. This is the person she admired most in the Bai family. Bai Lin saved his father's life. Although he was weak, he was wise and gentle. Fu Nuan and the others studied together, knowing that she liked martial arts, and sent her to learn some boxing skills from a master. Compared with her father, Bai Lin was more like a father.

After Chu Yu came back, he also went to see Bai Lin from time to time. He was sometimes sober, sometimes chaotic, and sometimes he would say something. Partly because of him.

Because of Ding Rao's last words, and Bai Lin's past care, plus the fact that his father's death was also the result of the Bai family's help, Chu Yu kept silent and accepted this unwarranted accusation. Pigs sell meat, and the rest of the time has been helping in the White House.

Now that Bai Linjiu is bedridden and delirious, only the old man Bai, his daughter-in-law Ding, and the young Bai Fuhong are left in the Baifu. The cocoon and silk business has plummeted because no one takes care of it. All these years, the Baifu has been eating? Lao Ben basically has no income. The White House sold the big house two months ago, and now a family of four plus a few servants live in a smaller second-entry house.

In the past, Chu Yu lived in the Bai Mansion for the convenience of helping her. Now the Bai Mansion has sold the house, but there is no room left for her. Chu Yu has to go back to the village to live, but the house at home has been in disrepair for a long time. It collapsed, and they could only live in caves.

The silkworms of the Bai family have always been made by Bai Lin, but Bai Lin’s health has been bad since he was a child. Later, by chance, he saved Chu Yu’s father who fell into the water, and his body also received some damage, sometimes good and sometimes bad of.

Frightened by the news of Bai Funuan's death in battle, he fell into a coma, and the Bai family gradually fell into decline.

Mr. Chu Yu used to get up before dawn to kill pigs when he was at Bai's house, sell meat in the morning, and help Bai's house with some small business in the afternoon, so he was too busy all day long .

The Bai family sold the house, and she needed to travel back and forth between the county town and the village, and after thinking twice, she stopped helping.

Five years after joining the army, I have done enough to help the Bai family in these five years. Now, although Mr. Bai is old, the Ding family is also in the prime of life, and Bai Fuhong has grown up. Fulfilling the last wishes of two friends, can't they support them for the rest of their lives?

Chu Yu hadn't been to the White Mansion in the past two months, but at this moment they actually sent someone to call, and I don't know what it meant.

After arriving at the White Mansion, Chu Yu greeted Mr. Bai as usual. The old man put on the same face as before, facing her with a stinking face, but Ding's face was embarrassing.

"Master, I don't know why you called me here?"

"Can't I call you over if I have nothing to do? Look at you, and you won't be able to take care of you after two months? Here, don't you want to? You can applaud the old man when he dies."

These years? Chu Yu is used to hearing such words from Master Bai. This old man has always attributed Bai Funuan's death to her. Every time he meets and speaks, he always holds a stick between his hands, and he is merciless when he calls people up. .

But now Chu Yu spends a happy life outside, especially when he returns to Furong Village every afternoon, there is a virtuous, capable and understanding little lady and a lively and lovely "daughter" at home. I once felt that my life was complete, but now that I came back to the White Mansion, I just felt that it was very uncomfortable because of the coldness and darkness here, and I felt even more uncomfortable when I heard old master Bai's words.

So there is no good tone?: "Master, there are you and your young lady here in the White House. The young master has grown up and grown up now. I also have my own livelihood to work outside. If there is nothing to do in the future, I won't do it often." coming."

"Bastard, haven't you forgotten how you instigated Ah Nuan to join the army? If it weren't for you, how could she die? If she didn't die, her father wouldn't be sick because of sadness, don't you think? You are so ungrateful now Want to kick our Baifu away." After hearing her words, Master Bai was so angry that he hit his chest.

Chu Yu, who has been reciting the blame for so many years, is too lazy to recite it at this time, staring at Master Bai with his back straight, with chills in his eyes.

She raised her head and said word by word: "There is no personal relationship between me and Ah Nuan. I didn't instigate her to join the army back then. Who is it? It must have been so many years? You saw them stay? I also know about the relics that came here, but why are they still tied? I, you and Mrs. Nuan only agreed to help take care of the relatives at home, but these years? I have done my best.”

Seeing that Chu Yu was angry, Mrs. Ding hurriedly spoke out to comfort him: "Ayu, that's not what Dad meant. He just said something because he was too sad. You are a good boy, and now the White House is not as good as one day? Ah Hong goes to school and spends a lot of money, and the family has no income, so I have to rely on you to continue to help me in the future."

In the past few years, except for the five years when he joined the army abroad, Chu Yu spent almost all of his time with people from the White Mansion. How could he not know what kind of people they are? Master Bai has a big temper? No one is allowed to refute him. Back then, the Bai family was able to start from scratch mainly relying on his son Bai Lin, but he always took credit for it and thought it was his own credit. Now that the Bai family has fallen, he still doesn't know how to behave with his tail between his legs.

And Mrs. Ding, as the head of the house, enjoys blessings as soon as she gets married, until something happens to Bai Lin and she loses her support, so she can only hope that her son will study hard, and when he is nominated on the gold list, she can follow her. Continue to be a rich wife.

But now that his son is not yet mature, there are only two small shops left in the cocoons and silks at home. The business is very bleak, and sometimes they can’t even make back their money. Fortunately, these years? Chu Yu has helped a lot, and even some households and other It all depends on her?

Now that Chu Yu has only been gone for two months, Ding realized that this family is really too difficult to support.

Of course Chu Yu knew what the two of them were thinking. First? Before? Because of Bai Funuan? Ding Rao? It is almost time to get out of the quagmire, and not to the point where it is now.

Thinking back to the time when the Bai family sold the big house and bought a new small house, without leaving a room for her, Master Bai even said, "Your butcher shop is not too far away, the butcher shop Isn’t there a small room at the back, you can live in that small room, and come to the house in the afternoon? Just help.”

At that time, the whole person was disheartened, but now the Bai family is acting like this, which is really funny.

"My father has been following my master for many years. I have not explained the matter between Ah Nuan and Sister Rao, so he left in shame, and finally died a good death. Speaking of this matter, my father does not owe the White House What, but at that time, the master put pressure on his father, and there must have been some intimidation."

At that time, Master Bai was talking to Father Chu, and Chu Yu could hear his harsh words.

Later, it was because Ding Rao saved his life that he came back to be a cow and a horse. Thinking about the past five years, he was worthy of the two friends who sacrificed their lives for Da Zhou.

It's just that Master Bai can't see her dedication and is still thinking about making progress. This makes Chu Yu, who has always valued love and righteousness, unable to swallow his anger any longer.

"What happened to your father was because of his guilty conscience. If you hadn't done such a thing, why would he continue to stay in the Bai family because he has no face? It's your fault that he left in the final analysis." Master Bai's body is still strong, Drinking this sentence is full of air?

"What's wrong with me, I never incited anyone to join the army with me, and I never had an affair with any man or woman surnamed Bai, but in the past five years, I have been busy with the Bai family. The old man didn't notice it, but it really chills my heart." Chu Yu sneered, and the old man Bai was as stubborn as ever.

"Besides, joining the army is the duty of every citizen of Da? Zhou, and every son and daughter of Da? A piece of land and? Every citizen, but never thought about it? Mr. Bai is ashamed to be a soldier. Isn’t this trampling? The soul of every soldier? If it is heard by the border guards, I don’t know how it will feel? , Ah Nuanquan, I know, I feel ashamed to have such a family."

It is impossible not to be disappointed or angry? Not to be agitated. Chu Yu couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the comrades who died because of the war on the edge of the Great Wall in those five years.

Master Bai saw Chu Yu's excited expression and fierce eyes, as if he was a Rakshasa from hell. Forgive him for living for so many years? He couldn't help feeling a little scared. This Chu Yu, on his hands? But a person who has been stained with blood, immediately Shut up? Keep your mouth shut.

"Do you really think that I will be afraid of you, that you can put the matter of Ah Nuan on my head? Let me tell you, no one can force me to do things that I, Chu Yu, don't want to do. Don't talk about the relationship between me and Ah Nuan. There is nothing, even if there is, what can you do to me."

Chu Yu was glad that his family didn't tell them about Ding Rao's rescue, otherwise the two would not know how to make progress.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ding hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Ayu, dad doesn't mean that. The last two shops in the White Mansion have also lost money recently. There's no way to do it anymore. I'm going to go. I talked with you yesterday and just changed hands. I got it." The money is not enough after the payment for goods and labor, and this is why I am so anxious, that's why I am so angry."

"I don't have enough money. I can't help it. Since two months ago, I have nothing to do with the White House. Next time, if Master Bai loses his temper? Remember? Don't attack me again." After speaking, he turned around and said to go.

Master Bai was heartbroken when he saw it, and he immediately winked at Ding Shi, who quickly stood up and grabbed her sleeve.

Chu Yu looked at it with some astonishment? Ding said: "Young Madam, what do you mean?"

"Ayu, I can't help it. Now that the White House is poor and white, I can only rely on Ah Hong in the future, but Ah Hong won't be able to pass the exam for a while, and I can't count on him for the time being. My husband can't move now. Moonlight It’s five taels of silver for the medicine. There are only me and my father-in-law left in the family. I don’t know how to make a living. Right now, I owe you the payment for goods, and Ah Hong’s repair fee, and the cost of studying. Everything is short of money, and my father-in-law and I couldn't figure out what to do for a while."

Mrs. Ding changed her image of Mrs. Fu from the past, with tears in her eyes, pleading with her.

After hearing her finish, Chu Yu looked up at Master Bai, who looked aside with a cold and arrogant expression.

Asking for help is still the same attitude!

Chu Yu suddenly felt "disappointed", and didn't want to stay for a moment.

Ding hurriedly called out "Father—"

Only then did Master Bai turn his face around, and said with some reluctance: "My old man is nothing. Anyway, he is about to enter the earth. I just pity my son who is lying on the hospital bed. Back then? He was good or bad. I also saved your father, otherwise you would think how he was so weak, he choked in the water and hurt his heart and lungs when saving your father, and my good grandson, even the only eldest sister is gone, if Ah Nuan Under the spring? If you know, you will die with peace."

Speaking of Bai Lin, Chu Yu was still moved.

But listening to the Weng's daughter-in-law singing together, and mentioning Bai Fuhong from time to time, Chu Yu couldn't help frowning.

Ever since experiencing the Mu family's mess, Chu Yu has a very bad impression of this kind of scholar who only wants to get ahead through the imperial examination.

It is good for young people who are talented and hardworking to study, and the imperial court also needs such talents. What kind of imperial examinations do you take? Why not go home and plant the land under your parents’ knees? It’s better to be filial.

The impression of Bai Fuhong also became worse.

"Then how do you need my help?" Chu Yu finally stopped and asked. There is also the righteousness of the Bai family to collect his father's body. All of this cannot be repaid endlessly like this.

"Ayu, haven't you been back for a long time? Haven't you saved some money in these years? I believe you have saved some money, at least two or three hundred taels. Otherwise, first? Lend it to the White House to pay for the goods. When you look back, Ah Hong will be the first I'll return it to you when I can make money later." Seeing that her tone softened, Ding hurriedly said.

In fact, besides the matter of money, she has another matter. I don’t know when her precious son fell in love with her. This woman who kills pigs? How could someone like Chu Yu be the daughter-in-law of the Bai family? Chu Yu is already 26 years old this year, and Bai Fuhong is eight out of ten this year.

And Chu Yu is not only a butcher, but also a white body, not only does not help Fu Hong, but also is so rebellious, if he enters the door? He will not obey discipline.

The headache was that her son turned down several marriages because of her. She was [-] years old now and she was still alone.

So after changing the house two months ago, Weng and his daughter-in-law deliberately didn't reserve a room for Chu Yu, so that she would no longer have the opportunity to live in the house? This also cut off the possibility between the two of them.

But the helpless thing is that Bai Fuhong is an infatuated, it must be Chu Yu, and the two discussed it. Otherwise, let Chu Yu come in first to be a junior, and then meet a right family and then marry in as a regular wife.

Although Chu Yu is full of evil spirits, doing this dishonorable business, but according to their observations, being a butcher can still earn some money, at least three or forty taels of silver a year. Even if they don't go to school, relying on Chu Yu, the whole family can survive, and Fuhong can continue to study with peace of mind.

But right now, with Chu Yu's vicious look, how could Ding dare to ask her to come in as a concubine, so he had to talk about the money first, and then figure out a solution later.

When Chu Yu heard Ding's request, his complexion darkened. It really was a lack of support. The big mansion that was sold two months ago had three to five hundred silver in it. Now it was in front of her. ?Crying for being poor, and thinking about the little money in the pocket of a poor pig-killer.

Thinking that he had tried his best to help in the past five years, but ended up in such an end, Chu Yu's eyes darkened. The Bai family and Mu Dingxiang's natal family were actually the same people.

She snorted coldly: "In these years? He has indeed earned a lot of money. In addition to the subsidy given by the court when he came back, there are two or three hundred."

Speaking of this, Chu Yu paused for a moment: "But in these years? Apart from subsidizing your big family, plus? Ji'antang, there is not much left."

Ji'an Hall was established by the imperial court. Some homeless children were sent here. Many children are descendants of soldiers who died in those years. In other places, the small Ji'an Church does not get much money every month.

Chu Yu had fought side by side with their father and brother, and he felt pity for these children even more. In addition, he was homeless and had no job, so he fed the whole family without hunger, and almost all the money he earned was invested in Ji'an Hall.

So at this time Madam Bai asked, she directly spread out the receipt of Ji'antang for the two of them to see.

When Master Bai saw so much money being donated to Ji'an Hall by Chu Yu, the anger that had been suppressed suddenly surged up, and he fainted in an instant.

----

Chu Yu didn't know how to get home, the horse was carrying it? She crossed the river, and Mu Dingxiang happened to be hurrying in the field? Transplanting some seedlings, saw her sitting on the horse? She looked lost and hurried all the way. Come over and ask: "Chu Yu, what's the matter with you."

Chu Yu lowered his head and looked at the upturned little girl's face, which was full of worry. Her depressed mood improved a little.

She got off the horse, patted her on the shoulder lightly and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that when the money I saved over the years was withdrawn from the bank, I accidentally ran into robbers and all the money was taken away." gone."

When Mu Dingxiang heard this, she immediately became nervous: "Then are you alright?"

After finishing speaking, he touched her hand, and followed her? Turned her body around to see if she was injured somewhere.

Chu Yu looked at her nervously, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help being pulled, and she smiled a little: "I'm good at it? It's just money? I didn't notice that I was taken away."

Chu Yu has been a soldier, and he is very skilled. Can he get it from Chu Yu? The one who takes the silver must be a more powerful person. Mu Dingxiang hurriedly said: "If you lose the silver, you can lose it. If you make more money, it's fine. .”

"Then do you know how much money was shunted?" Chu Yu carefully observed her expression.

"How much?" Mu Dingxiang's heart skipped a beat. At that time, she asked to come over and give the Mu family 20 taels. Could it be more than these 20 taels?

"80 taels." Chu Yu tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

Mu Dingxiang couldn't believe her ears immediately, she stared wide-eyed and looked at Chu Yu: "Am I deaf?"

"You heard me right, that's how it happened." Chu Yu also had a painful face.

The White Mansion said it was a loan, and they also found someone to guarantee and wrote the IOU, but Chu Yu didn't know when the money would be repaid.

If Bai Fuhong can be the best in high school, it should not be difficult to get the money back.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo". If there is no report, maybe a little bit can be recovered.”

"I found it, Fenghua said that I can't get it back for a while."

Looking at Chu Yu's frustrated face, Mu Dingxiang felt that she was so pitiful for the first time, took her hand and said, "Chu Yu, don't worry, I will take care of you. A little bit, but it can last for a while, and when the grain harvest in the autumn is over, we will not be short of food by then."

Listen, Chu Yu? It's impossible for the little girl not to be moved by what she said. She thought that the little girl would at most comfort her? She said that she would work hard in the future? Killing pigs to earn money back, she didn't expect? She actually He also said that he wanted to support himself, and gave her all the two taels of silver that he had saved for five or six years. You must know that when the two taels of silver were dug away by Mu Zhou, he cried? Still crying all the time.

In this way, the unhappiness with the Bai family also disappeared? Without a trace.

I can make more money when I run out of money. Now I have such a little girl by my side, who is worth more than the 80 taels. She pulled Mu Dingxiang's hand and said, "From then on, I will rely on you to support me."

After Mu Dingxiang "married" to Chu Yu, she had been relying on this person to take care of her. Seeing her downcast appearance, she couldn't help feeling distressed. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of you."

After finishing speaking, I was still a little uneasy. I didn't know if I could really take care of Chu Yu, but when I thought about it, in previous years, I was in the Mu family, relying on the five or six acres of land to support the members of the Mu family. He can still give Mu Kongqing the rest of the food for silver, and Chu Yu still has ten acres of land here, so he has confidence.

What's more, in the past? In this family, she was a little worried that Chu Yu would despise her because she was useless and made less money, but now that Chu Yu can attach herself, it means that they will always be together, and she will also Don't worry about being alone in the future.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that the future is full of hope.

But he still said cautiously: "There is no problem raising you, but you have to eat big like before? Big fish? I'm afraid I can't do it with meat. Can you bear it?"

Chu Yu was still immersed in the touch of being raised by a little girl. Looking at it now? She looked anxious and couldn't help laughing: "Although the money is gone, in the future, this family will not only be your work To earn money, I still have to continue to butcher pigs, won’t I live? It’s very difficult.”

After hearing this, Mu Dingxiang felt that the burden on her shoulders was a little lighter. Now that the economic strength of the two is not much different, she suddenly found the value of being in this family, and felt that she was no longer just hiding The poor little girl who was under her care behind Chuyu suddenly felt more confident, and her face became brighter. She said happily, "Then let's work hard for this family together?"

Chu Yu smiled, touched her head and said, "Okay—"

Before I finished speaking, I felt that the bottom of my trousers was being torn. Zhu Er, who was not up to my knees, jumped out of nowhere, and looked up at her small face. The two of them were not convinced. They said: "There is still bamboo Son, Zhuer also wants to work hard for this family?"

Chu Yu instantly felt that her heart was being brushed by waves of warm current throughout the afternoon? Zhu'er pinched her little face and said: "Well, Zhu'er is also a part of this family, so I have to contribute? Mother will rely on Zhu'er to support her in the future."

Zhu'er was recognized, her family status was promoted, her little chin lifted her nostrils to the sky, and she looked amazing.

Just fell down for a moment but held his nose and jumped towards Mu Dingxiang: "Mother stinky——"

Only then did Chu Yu think about getting up in the morning and coming back from slaughtering a pig, smelling bloody and full of evil spirits, no wonder Zhi Ling despises her so much.

"Okay, okay, mother is wrong, mother is going to take a bath now"

In the evening, after the two of them washed up, Mu Dingxiang bent down and took out a jar from under the bed, took out two big pennies from it and put it on the table, saying, "Chu Yu, this is the money I saved, and the daily expenses at home are all It's up to you, let me give you the money."

Chu Yu laughed. The little girl was as wary of the Mu family as thieves. She valued these two pieces of money more than her life, but now she put them on the table so generously for her to use.

She stood up and walked to the edge of the stone bed?, pawed at the stone wall of the cave, and then took out a large handful of copper plates from today's clothes and poured them onto the table with a clatter.

"I have a little here too, let's see how much it adds up."

Mu Dingxiang started to count the money on the table with the tung oil lamp, and soon finished counting.

"A total of 12 taels, 720 wen?"

Seeing that the movement of her hand was so fast, Chu Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned: "How can you count? It's so fast, will it be missed?"

"No leakage," Mu Dingxiang glanced at her confidently. "I take out the two taels of silver in this jar every day and count them. After a long time, I can roughly know how many copper coins I have in my hand."

"It turned out to be a little money fan," Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Do you have the money? You will take care of our family from now on."

When Mu Dingxiang heard it, it was worth it. She thought that she would be able to talk to her with two taels of silver, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. No matter how Chu Yu was robbed, she still had ten The two silvers are still much more than her own? Much more, Mu Dingxiang is still a little unconfident if she is asked to take care of the silver housekeeper.

"Let you hold it? You just hold it? Well, hold your hand tighter and give it to me? It may be spent in a few days, and you won't even have the capital to buy a pig by then." Chu Yu looked at her? The face is serious and authentic.

Was Mu Lixiang seen by her? A little embarrassed, she swallowed her saliva and said, "Really bring it to me?"

"Of course it is true, but you have to give me two and a half taels of silver, because tomorrow when I go to butcher a pig, I have to pay the farmer first. A pig is about a little more than two taels. I went to see it yesterday. That pig is a little more than [-] catties, two to two is about the same, take a little more just in case."

Mu Lixiang put the money on a string, put the twelve taels into the jar, and said, "I'll take care of it. First, save the twelve taels. These are the two taels and then the seven hundred wen. I'll give you the remaining two taels." Ten essays? Leave it to me for temporary use.”

Chu Yu smiled, and counted another two hundred Wen? He came out and said to her, "Twenty Wen? What's the use of these? If you want to buy something sometimes and I'm not at home, you have to go? Where can I find money? go."

Mu Dingxiang thought about it? The twelve taels in the jar were beaten to death and could not be moved, but he had no place to spend the money, but Chu Yu still pushed the money over, even Zhu'er said: "Mother, take it quickly." Get up and go back and buy something fun for Zhu'er."

She was blushing now? She put away the 220 Wen? money and put it in a small purse.

Thinking about the fact that Mu Mu had been rummaging through boxes and boxes in the cave before, she suddenly felt that it was not safe to put this big money pot anywhere.

Chu Yu pointed at Zhu'er and said, "You know this cave the most, quickly find a good place for your mother to bury money."

Zhu'er got an order, and pulled the clove's sleeves to let her carry the jar to the back of the wooden cabinet. There was a hidden hole there, just enough to put it in, and there were squirrels growing on the side. The thin vines cover it, and it is impossible to find the position without carefully pulling it.

"Mother, I'll let the little vine help keep the money pot in check."

Mu Dingxiang reached out and touched its head and said, "Mmm, mother is relieved to hand over the money pot to Zhu'er? Very much."

Chu Yu pointed at her and said, "You may have to change this money pot to a bigger one soon, or it won't hold enough."

Mu Dingxiang stared in surprise, looked at her, and said, "Can you get back your 80 taels?"

Chu Yu tapped lightly? She said on the head: "Think? What? The money was stolen by the bandits, where can I find it? Come back. I mean, I will kill pigs in the future, and there will be at least three pigs every day." One hundred to five hundred cash, your jar is so small, it will be full in a few days."

Hearing Yu Yu's words, Mu Dingxiang's eyes lit up: "Chu Yu, you are so good, you can earn more than 300 Wen? a day."

You must know that her father, an old man, is outside helping others to carry goods, and it only costs thirty yuan a day.

Being looked at by the little girl with admiration, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Ahem, it's okay, all the money you earn is hard money, and it cost a lot to live in the county, so Didn’t save much? How much, the last point has been robbed, so you have to keep an eye on it for me in the future.”

Mu Dingxiang nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it. Will we be able to build a big house by the end of that year?"

Chu Yu didn't expect it? Thinking that she would actually mention the house, she was a little uneasy and said: "I have been sleeping with me in the cave for more than a month, and I have wronged you."

There may be nine taels a month, and there may be other expenses, but no matter what, it can always be built before the end of the year."

After doing the calculations like this, the two immediately felt that the future was full of hope, and they were very excited for a while.

Except for the few years when Chu Yu was stationed on the Great Wall, most of the rest of the time was spent at Bai's house. In addition, he was alone, and he never met anyone who met his eyes. He didn't even think about the future.
