Chapter 6: Twelve Taels of Silver Are Not Much

Lian Fangzhou looked at Aunt Zhang gratefully and thanked him politely, and then said to Mrs Qiao: "Auntie, you have nothing to do here, please come back! Oh, and thank Auntie for being a witness, thank you very much!"

Mr. Qiao was angry and hated in his heart, and could not wait to rush up to take the silver note out of Lian Fangzhou's arms, but seeing the situation, he knew that he would not be able to get any benefits, so he snorted angrily, and left a sentence, "You can do it yourself!" Leng walked away with a face.

Aunt Zhang also got up and sighed softly: "This marriage has also retired, what are your plans in the future?"

Lian Fangzhou smiled lightly, looked at Aunt Zhang and said calmly: "Aunt Zhang, you said before that no matter what, we will have a good time! I will definitely take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, and one day we will have a good life! "

Aunt Zhang nodded with relief and smiled, "It seems that you really figured it out! That's good, that's right! Don't take your aunt's words to heart, you are a good girl, and there will definitely be one in the future. It's a good family! I'll go back first, if you need help with anything, don't be polite, just go to our house and tell me, you know?"

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang! I'm afraid there will be more places to trouble you in the future!" Lian Fangzhou said honestly.

"Neighbors, don't be troublesome if you say so! I'm relieved if you say that!" Aunt Zhang gave a hearty smile and left.

Watching Aunt Zhang leave, Lian Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Lian Ze, "This matter is finally resolved! Come on, let's go back—you, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Suddenly, Lian Ze was staring at him, and Lian Fangzhou was a little puzzled for a while.

"No, no!" Lian Ze said hurriedly, saying no, his expression was not like this at all.

Lian Fangzhou sighed lightly: "We are a family, you can say anything if you have anything! What do you have to hide from your sister?" In fact, if he didn't say it, she could probably guess what he wanted to say.

Lian Ze seemed to think what she said was reasonable, so he looked at her and said, "I just think my sister has become, become—"

"It's different from before?" Lian Fangzhou helped him finish.

Lian Ze nodded.

Lian Fangzhou was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Aze, there is a saying that the present is not what it used to be, and it is about us! Now it is different from before! We are all orphans with no father or mother, and my sister can see it through, unless we Become stronger and more powerful, otherwise everyone will come to bully us, and make up a lot of gossip and jokes if you don’t step on your feet! There are too few good people like Aunt Zhang! Even if my sister goes out to be a shrew, We will never let anyone bully us again! Do you understand?"

"I'm sorry, sister!" Lian Ze felt extremely guilty and moved by what she said.

Lian Fangzhou made persistent efforts and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, we are our own family, we are not allowed to say this! From now on, we have to live a good life, so that our parents will rest in peace in the spirit of heaven, you know?"

"Yeah!" Lian Ze was sincerely convinced, extremely ashamed! What the hell are you thinking about?

"Sister, I will definitely work hard in the future so that our family can live a good life!" Lian Ze vowed.

"Okay, my sister believes in you!" Lian Fangzhou smiled slightly, he has this heart and fighting spirit, that's good.

At noon, the four siblings ate some sweet potatoes casually. In the afternoon, Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze continued to work in the vegetable garden.

In the morning, the chili soil has been loosened and fertilized, and some other fields have been dug up, and there is still a little left, which needs to be sorted out.

As soon as the two entered the vegetable garden, they saw a group of fist-sized chicks scattered in the garden looking for food.

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help frowning. Fortunately, the seeds had not been sown yet. If the seeds were sown, sprouted and sprout, it would be completely ruined!

"It's the chicken from the aunt's house." Lian Ze said with a frown, a bit annoyed on his face.

Lian Fangzhou swept his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, the fence feet in our vegetable garden are not dense enough and not strong enough. In a few days, we will go up the mountain to get some bamboo branches and come back to do it! Don't worry about it for now, there is nothing to grow horizontally or vertically."

Lian Ze nodded: "If we fix the fence and let these chickens come in, it must be the aunt who deliberately opened the door and let them in, so let's just ask the door! Didn't my sister say that we will sow in the next two days? Bring Qing’er and Che’er up the mountain to pick up branches tomorrow?”

At this time, Lian Fangzhou had a new idea in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "There is no rush to sow, you can wait."

Lian Ze was startled, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing that it was almost the same, Lian Fangzhou went home first.

Although the head of the house is full of people, it still needs to be properly sorted out. This morning, it was only roughly cleaned up.

Lian Fangqing and Lian Che were watching the house at home and didn't go out to play. When they saw their sister came back to clean up, they also followed behind her like a tail to help.

Lian Fangzhou was both moved and heartbroken. He couldn't bear to touch their kindness, so he let them laugh. Occasionally ask them to help carry something, the little brothers and sisters agreed loudly, and they were very happy.

After cleaning up, Lian Fangzhou boiled another pot of boiling water, and while sitting in front of the stove watching the fire, he silently calculated how to use the ten taels of silver.

The roof and windows must be patched up, otherwise what should I do in winter when it gets windy and rainy? The family is not rich enough to have someone sick.

There are also winter clothes and quilts for winter, and you have to buy some more. The reason is the same - you can't get sick!

If there is any left, it is how to maximize the purchase of enough food to fill the stomach - almost forgot!

Have to ask about the seeds.

Last night, I asked Lian Fangqing a lot of questions, and I probably understood the situation at home.

I don't know how much the rice seeds needed for the three acres of paddy fields will cost, and I have some farm tools that I have at hand, and I want to buy some chicken and duck seedlings...

Lian Fangzhou sighed softly, the ten taels of silver looked like a lot, but it didn't seem like it was a lot!

I knew she was going to be twenty-two. However, I don't know if people will give it or not! Alas, I still think about this now, what's the use!

She couldn't help laughing at herself.

When preparing to cook dinner, Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but feel even worse, looking at the rice that was about to bottom out in the rice jar and the meager four pockets of rice stacked in the corner of the attic.

With such a small amount of food, even if they eat sweet potato porridge, the family of four may not be able to eat for the New Year, let alone harvest new food next autumn.

Lian Fangzhou sneered slightly.

After dinner, Lian Fangzhou explained that Lian Ze boiled water to bathe his younger siblings, and planned to go to Aunt Zhang's house by himself.

Although the head of the family is poor, it must be clean and tidy. She doesn't allow them to smell like a cat-like stench.

Anyway, water doesn’t need money, and firewood doesn’t need money, right?

As soon as Lian Fangqing heard that she was going out, she jumped up and grabbed her hand, arguing that she wanted to go with her.

Lian Fangzhou thought that it would be good for these people to be brave, so he nodded and agreed, holding Lian Fangqing's hand with a smile.

The door was opened to them by a young woman in a red-brown checkered tan with a flat bun.

Lian Fangzhou's mind was short-circuited for a moment, and he was still thinking about how to say hello. Lian Fangqing had already smiled and shouted tenderly: "Sister Zhao!"

Lian Fangzhou then understood: This is Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law! So he hurriedly called out with a smile, "Sister-in-law Zhao!"

Zhao shi looked at Lian Fangqing and said "hey" with a smile, and reached out and touched her head, but she was polite and distant from Lian Fangzhou, nodded reservedly, and smiled a little stuck on her skin: " Is Fangzhou here to find us, Juan?"

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but murmur a little in his heart, wondering if he had offended Zhao at some point. But this is not the time to think about this, she smiled politely: "No, I'm here to find Aunt Zhang, I don't know if Aunt Zhang is here—"

"Is it Fangzhou? Come in!" Aunt Zhang had already smiled and waved when she heard the words outside.

Lian Fangqing let go of her sister's hand and asked Aunt Zhang to run towards Aunt Zhang with a smile. Aunt Zhang agreed with a smile and pulled her.

Even Fangzhou hurriedly agreed to walk over, and she heard Zhao's muttering behind her, "I don't know what I'm asking for again... I'm sorry to trouble people all day..."
