The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 127

"Brother-in-law! Don't listen to that old man's nonsense. Back then, when the war was in turmoil, people couldn't live well. It's not that he didn't want to raise the stone. He didn't want to raise the stone because he thought it was troublesome! He saved the stone from the beginning to the end. Only my father!" Han Facai was worried that Shen Ling would divide his family's credit, so he accepted Han Jiuye's affection, and hurriedly said, he didn't know that Shen Ling had already seen that Han Jiuye didn't care about Han Shi. Enyi doesn't intend to show affection either.

Shen Ling ignored him, Han Facai didn't dare to say any more, and followed Shen Ling back home.Shen Gouzi had already prepared the joss stick paper money for worship, and when he saw Shen Ling coming back, he took a step back with a smile.

"Thank you." Shen Ling nodded. Han Shi was sitting at the table folding paper money, and raised his head and smiled when he heard the sound.

"Han Shi, I just went to see Master Han Jiu, do you know him?" Shen Ling sat down and asked casually.

"I know! He is my ninth grandfather, a very senior man, but I haven't talked to him much." Han Shi said seriously.

"Oh." Shen Ling nodded, did not mention him again, and said instead: "Let's go to the grave!"

"Okay!" Han Shi nodded, with some joy on his face.

Shen Zhuang, when Shen San learned that Shen Ling had returned home, he persuaded Shen's father and Shen's mother to visit together. What is the reason for us to go to see him as parents?"

Shen San persuaded in a good-tempered manner: "Second brother has always been aloof, mother, you just need to be more generous. Besides, it's not that second brother didn't come! It's just that we didn't meet each other. Didn't he come to add makeup to my sister?"

Shen's mother was still angry and sat still, while Shen's father raised his head, looked at his daughter standing aside, and said, "You said your second brother gave you ten taels of silver, but you only gave ten taels? "

Shen Mei subconsciously put her chest on her chest when she heard the words, lowered her head, and wanted to hide the rope around her neck better, she said in a soft voice: "No more, the second brother only gave me ten taels of silver." The second brother reminded her, If you want to keep the jade pendant, you have to hide it from your husband, and you can't let people know that the jade pendant is valuable. It's just a fake plaything bought by a trap on the street.

Although Shen Mei was young, she was not loved very much since she was a child, but she was also very precocious, knowing that she had to hide it from her parents, and did not dare to tell her family that she had a jade pendant.

Shen San smiled and said: "This is also the second elder brother's wish, it is actually comparable to the younger sister's dowry."

Shen Mei lowered her head slightly, her face blushed slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

Father Shen sighed, "I don't think so, but I'm afraid of what he thinks, San Er, didn't you say last time that the second child met a lot of rich men and made a fortune, why did you only give your sister ten dollars?" Two taels of silver? It’s like sending a beggar, we also gave him ten taels of silver before, I’m afraid that if he wants to pay back the money, he’ll end up with us.”

"Father thinks too much. Since ancient times, the grace of childbearing is greater than the sky. How can he repay it if he wants to? Even if he wants to repay it, even if the children give their lives back to their parents, it is not enough to repay." Shen San laughed.

When Father Shen heard this, he immediately became more confident, "You are right. After all, he is my son. There is no reason why he dares to have sex with me. I am his biological father. If that is the case, you have to test Juren, and you have to test Jinshi, I don’t think any amount of silver is enough, so I have to ask him to pay some, after all, it’s your second brother, if you pass the exam, his family will also be rich.”

Shen San didn't speak, just lowered his head and smiled, the more Shen's father thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, he pulled Shen's mother beside him, and said, "Let's go and have a look together."

When Shen's mother heard about Shen's father's plan, she also thought about taking more money. After all, the family is now saving money for San'er's exam, and it would be good to have more, so she moved and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Since we all thought of the girl's makeup, why didn't I think about San'er's exam, and I didn't know how to send it together. The family is so short of money now!"

Shen San didn't speak, and went out with Shen's father and Shen's mother. Shen's father thought that Shen Mei had also brought some make-up, so he should come to the door to thank him and contact her, so he took her with him. Only Shen's family was left at home. Yes, and a young Shen Shiro.

For the past two days, Zhao Shuitao seemed to be in a state of obscurity, thinking about Shen Ling's words every day. The family obviously still has hundreds of taels of silver, but the parents-in-law always talk about the lack of money at home. Who is this talking about? !

Shen Er split up the family, Shen Mei got married, and who really divided the family property, all of them were just more than ten taels of silver, which was not worth the money of Shen San's trip. Three ones!

The more Zhao Shuitao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she was, and she wiped away her tears. She still has a few children who will go to school and take the exam to become their own children. Could it be that there will only be more than ten taels of silver to spend in the future?Seeing Shen's father and Shen's mother leaving, Shen Da immediately sat comfortably on the main seat, stretched his waist, and picked up the tea bowl leisurely.

"You just know how to eat!" Zhao Shuitao raised his hand and twisted Shen Da's shoulder, grinning hoarsely from the pain.

Shen Da hurriedly put down the tea bowl, "What's the matter?"

"Did you forget what I told you last night?!"

"Oh! I said what do you think! Just listen to the second child, he can put you in the ditch!" Shen Da said dissatisfied: "Everything is fake. When the third child passes the exam, no money will be given to you!" For money, you are the wife of the official family, and you still care about this? All the youngsters in our family are young masters and young ladies."

"Young lady! I can't even go to school now! The more I think about it, the more I feel wrong. I told you that before, I saw my mother-in-law counting money, and there are hundreds of taels of silver at home. Why? The mother-in-law is talking about the lack of money at home every day, because she is afraid that we will think that we still have a family, and we will ask for money in the future! Also, look at you, and look at Shen Er, there is a little one under you, Shen Si You and Shen Er have never even touched a book, and our son has only learned a few words from his third uncle, and has never entered a private school. What about my young master! Is there any young master who can’t read or write? It’s almost the same as being a human being today, isn’t our life like a servant’s life!”

Shen Da also sat up, scratching his head irritably, "I also want my child to go to school, so it's fine for me and Shen Er. I was already grown up when my family was rich, and I went to school late. The second child is because he is too stupid. Na, that kid, he was like a piece of wood when he was a child, how can he be as clever as he is now, the third child is really good at it! The fourth child is too skinny to learn at all, but the fourth child has also been in a private school anyway, but our family of……"

"That's right! My parents-in-law's heart is gone. The one born to her is my own, so the grandson doesn't have to hurt, right? I don't think the eldest son and grandson are as good as Shen San's in the eyes of the parents-in-law." finger."

Shen Da couldn't refute this, and he could clearly feel it. If his mother devoted [-]% of her love to Shen San, then the remaining [-]% was on her youngest son, Shen Si. As for his father, he also It is clear that whoever can make him look good and give him a better life, he will value whoever, it doesn't have to be Shen San. Divided, if Shen Er hadn't made a fortune in the past, he would never have cared about these things.

"Then what do you think we should do? Force our parents to let our children go to private schools?"

"It's not in a hurry to go to school, the children are still young!" Zhao Shuitao waved her hand, she was like a mirror in her heart, her children were not much more honest than Shen Si, and they were all like monkeys, they were really stuffed into the school It may not be possible to learn any tricks, it's better to wait until she grows up and stabilize her temper before going to school, and it will save the trouble of being young, which makes her feel distressed.

Zhao Shuitao leaned over and said in a low voice, "Tell me, isn't the brand Han Shi saw very valuable?"

Shen Da stared at Zhao Shuitao, "You want to steal something! You want to be divorced, right? That's money from the family!"

"Is the brand silver? You can't go out and find the clan elders, but you can't say that I took a brand that I don't know where it came from, and treat it as me stealing money! That's not a waste of money! Besides, I'm still doing it for you father and son!"

"That brand...that brand must be something very important, you don't even think about it, the second brother-in-law touched it at the beginning, and he was beaten so hard, he lay on the bed for several days and couldn't get up, he almost died , You really dare to take it! Besides, it doesn’t have to be something valuable, if it is valuable, if it is found out, you will still steal the money! I will not be able to protect you at that time.”

"What's wrong with me taking a brand from my house? How do I know that brand is valuable? I'm just a country woman. How can I know such expensive things? How can I say that I stole money! I have to know it!" Zhao Shuitaocha stooped.

Shen Da was blocked for a while, but still panicked.Zhao Shuitao was already crying, "I can't live this day, if it wasn't for you father and son, I would be like this! I have been married to the Shen family for so many years, my parents-in-law don't work, my sister-in-law is young, and I do all the housework, big and small. Come and do it! I will take care of such a big family by myself! Now my son can't even afford to go to school, and he doesn't even have any money, so I'm dead..."

"Don't cry, it's not shameful for people to hear you!" Shen Da tugged.

"Go and get it!" Zhao Shuitao stood up with her hands on her hips, with tears on her face, but she already had a fierce expression on her face, "I was almost framed by you. Son, it’s nothing to get a sign, is it? Can you still be divorced from the house?! Go and get it!”

"You must take it!" Shen Da said tangled, in fact, his heart was a little shaken, his parents didn't love him, and they treated his child as nothing. If Shen Sanwan really passed the exam in the future, his parents would definitely follow him. Go to enjoy the blessings, and a scholar who has just passed the Jinshi exam can't support such a big family like them. He might score a family, and Shen San's character is very much like his father, very cold, he can be rich, but how much? It's really not necessarily true, besides, if Shen San fails the exam, the whole family will not even have a livelihood...

He is almost [-] years old, he has no wealth at all, and he is in a panic. The brand is usually hidden in the box, and he rarely takes it out. Only when Han Shi fell out did they know that there was such a time. Even if they took it, it wouldn't affect Shen San's exam. They secretly took the money and sold it, and they could hide it as a family property. Parents wouldn't find out so quickly if they didn't often look through the box. Even if they found out, they insisted on their own If you don't take it, you can only treat it as a thief in the house, and that is something you can't help.

"Go get it! To put it bluntly, if Shen San fails the exam, we won't starve to death." Zhao Shuitao wiped away tears.

Shen Da also felt the same way. If they took it, it wouldn't affect Shen San's exam, and they could save some wealth. If they didn't take it, it wouldn't affect Shen San's exam. They didn't panic at all, "Success! I'll get it!" Shen Da bit grit your teeth.

Zhao Shuitao showed joy, and said: "We'll sell it quickly after we take it, don't keep it at home and be found out, and don't keep the money after you take it, um... Where do you think we hide the money? After all, in case It was discovered, and the parents-in-law turned over the house..."

Shen Da recalled the time when he ransacked the house to check the money of the private house a few years ago, a trace of disgust rose in his heart, he frowned, and said: "If you sell the money, you can't stay at home, um, otherwise, I'll go directly to buy the land, no way! You have to go through Lizheng to buy land. When the time comes, your parents will know. Then go to the town to buy a house. Anyway, I am the eldest son. No matter how poor the family’s land is, I still have my big head. If there is no shortage of land, just buy a house. "With a house and a land, even if Shen San really failed the exam, he would have confidence in his heart.

Zhao Shuitao nodded, "Yes, you can go!"

Shen Da stood up and went out of the yard to look around. Shen Sizao went out with a few children and went crazy. He couldn't stay at all. They were the only couple left at home. It was a good opportunity for Shen Da to join Shen's father and Shen's mother. Zhao Shuitao also followed, looked around, thought for a while and said, "I remember my second brother-in-law said that he fell off the cabinet box, let's be on the top of the cabinet!"

Hearing this, Shen Da immediately stepped on the bed to search on the top of the cabinet, and saw a few old baskets and some sundries, Shen Da stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hands to rummage on the top of the cabinet, and after a while, he dug out a wooden box from under the sundries. box, pulled it hard, and pulled out the copper lock inlaid on the wooden box. When I opened it, I saw a black token. I couldn't tell what it was made of, but it looked like a good thing, with warm tentacles. It was cold, like cold iron, with words engraved on it, but he didn't read the book, so he didn't recognize it.

"Have you got it?" Zhao Shuitao said excitedly.

"En." Shen Da handed the sign to Zhao Shuitao, straightened the brass lock himself, inserted it back in its original position, and patted it vigorously, trying to restore it to its original state. It was dusty for a while, but it was just a brass nail. It was pulled out and plugged back in, it must have been loose, but Shen Da stuffed the box back under the sundries, Zhao Shuitao had already taken the initiative to dust off the bed, so as not to get dust on the bed and be discovered by her parents-in-law.

But looking at the dust on the top of the cabinet, I know that my parents-in-law rarely check the wooden box, so they have enough time to deal with this brand. Zhao Shuitao suppressed her joy, thinking of selling the brand quickly, and then exchanged the money , Buy a big house for big money, and buy a small house for small money. In short, take up a land first, even if you don’t live in it, you can sell it for money in the future, and you won’t lose money.In this dynasty, the transfer of the house needs to be recorded in the yamen, and the title deed is kept by oneself, but the title deed can be replaced if it is lost. They immediately destroyed the title deed after buying a house. Good idea.
