Chapter 397: Want to Run? Boomerang Hits the Song Family Sister-in-law
Who would refuse a poor child's request?
Wei Chi said: "Don't worry, we won't say anything, just focus on your studies."
Gao Shuying crossed her arms and wondered secretly, was it wrong for her to hide this from Jianer?
But Song Ruier's recognition of her own grandparents seemed to be a family matter, and she couldn't interfere.
This was also the first time she knew about Song Ruier's existence, but she couldn't see anything wrong with him.
It's just a child's wish, so just let him do it and don't cause trouble for others.
After comforting Song Ruier, the Chu family started again.
Song Ruier not only had an extra hundred taels of silver notes on him, but at his feet there were also dry food cakes, jerky, and other things prepared by the Qiao family, as well as steaming meat buns.
He sat by the roadside, eating meat buns in big mouthfuls, feeling his stomach being filled little by little, and felt proud and satisfied.
There was not much money left from the money given by the Song family after paying for tuition and accommodation. He didn't want to go back to the Song family, so he had to eat all three meals in the town. He had to live frugally and could only eat coarse flour buns or drink a bowl of porridge for every meal.
Now that he has this money, he can eat better. Only when he is healthy can he have the energy to study and his future will be more promising.
As for whether to go to the county town to study, Song Ruier thought about it.
The county town is certainly better, but he is a weak child and would find it difficult to cope if he encountered any danger on the way.
He didn't trust the Song family. If he brought someone to accompany his child to study, they would definitely try to take advantage of him and cause more trouble if they knew he had so much money.
Then change to the best school in town. With his talent, as long as he can get into the top few, he will be one of the few who can pass.
Having made up her mind, Song Ruier went to get her tuition and accommodation fees refunded.
As he walked, he thought that since the Chu family knew of his existence, they would definitely not sit idly by and watch him go. Today was a good start. At least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing and could just focus on his studies.
Song Ruier sneered. Once he passed the exam, he would quickly surpass Qiao Jianer and put the Qiao family under his feet.
After the Chu family left, the Qiao family's life returned to normal.
These days, in order to accompany the Chu family, the Qiao family would rather do less business. Everyone gathered together to talk and laugh, and they were very happy.
After a few days, we found that the firewood was burned out and the horse grass was eaten up, so we quickly took action.
Qiao Jianer secretly went to the warehouse to replenish stocks, and then managed the space well.
Crops in the first and second level basic spaces were harvested on a large scale, earning a large amount of gold coins.
She bought seeds for the high-level species space and cleared hundreds of acres of land for planting. This way, she didn't have to spend extra gold coins, and the harvest of high-level species could earn her several times more gold coins, which was very cost-effective.
She had eaten those high-level fruits in the world she came from, so she didn't think they were anything special. She was mainly trying to unlock the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission and the Sky-piercing Mirror.
Of course, they have to be sold for money, but high-quality fruits are precious, and some are subject to transportation and preservation time limits, which is not very convenient in this era. If you want to sell them in big cities, the provincial capital is a good choice.
Products like nuts and herbs can be sold nationwide.
The cold air continued to loosen, the icicles hanging on the mountains were melting, and the thin layer of ice on the river surface melted at some point and began to flow happily.
A little green sprout timidly emerged from under the dry grass on the edge of the field and in the mountains, and small leaf buds formed on the leafless branches.
The villagers' clothes were thinner.
Along with the beginning of spring came the news that a victory had been won in the north and that more than twenty nomadic alliance tribes had completely withdrawn from the northern border.
The two sides signed a twenty-year armistice agreement. As the aggressor and defeated party, the nomadic alliance tribe paid compensation to the Daze Kingdom. In addition to hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, they also had to pay a large amount of fodder as tribute every year. The Middle-earth horse ranches were mainly in the Ziyun Plain. The Ziyun area was rich in water and grass, but even with a large number of horses raised, the supply was still insufficient.
The people stretched their necks and waited, and finally a great victory was achieved. When they realized that they no longer had to collect grain and silver, they ran around to tell each other and cheered. Some families even bought firecrackers to celebrate.
Since the war started, everyone has been worried and can't sleep well every night, fearing that they will suffer a major defeat and have to continue to use their blood and sweat to maintain the huge military expenditure next year.
It's really impossible to live like that.
On the day the news came, the villagers of Datian Village stopped what they were doing, gathered at the village entrance and the dam square, and talked excitedly.
"Our Great Ze State is truly formidable. Even if those small nations with few people unite to attack us, they still won't be able to shake us."
"That's right. Although heavy taxes were imposed, this major unrest was resolved in just a few months. It can be considered that the future troubles have been eliminated and the matter is over. We can now focus on farming in peace."
"The cold winter has passed, and the rice in our greenhouses is completely unaffected. The ears of rice are fuller than in previous years. If we wait until we harvest and plant another season, I'm afraid our granaries will be full this year."
"We've finally gotten through the hard times. It wasn't easy."
Compared to everyone else's relaxed and hopeful expressions, the Song family members looked gloomy.
Because they had a grudge against the Qiao family and didn't quite believe that the greenhouse would really work, they did not buy a greenhouse to grow crops.
Greenhouses are useful, but if the war gets intense and the stalemate lasts too long, and grain has to be requisitioned, wouldn’t the crops be planted in vain?
After weighing the pros and cons, they decided it would be best not to plant anything.
Now every household has ears of grain, and the temperature is getting warmer. A good harvest is inevitable. After the harvest, we will plant another season and the whole village will have full granaries.
Only the Song family drank porridge.
Most of the family's money was confiscated, and the remaining money was used to pay for Song Ruier's studies in the town, but it could only last less than three years.
The granary was empty with only two cents left to make ends meet. The silver in hand was being consumed rapidly, and the days were becoming more and more depressed.
Old Mrs. Song regretted it deeply.
If I had known this earlier, I would have bought the plastic greenhouse and grown an extra crop to sell. This would not only fill the granary but also increase my surplus money. After all, the Song family has a lot of land.
It is too late to plant now. Other families have already had a good harvest, and I am afraid that the crops in my field have not yet formed.
"It's all the Qiao family's fault. If they hadn't been picking on us, we wouldn't have to buy the plastic greenhouse. We could have just gotten it from them," said Feng.
Chen felt that her life was miserable and couldn't help wiping away her tears.
A year ago, the Song family was among the richest in the village.
But now——
The family fell into poverty and two of its pillars died.
Seeing Chen crying, Shen's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
All families are good, except the Song family. I was really blind to marry into such a family.
Both of them began to back out. They were only in their thirties, still young and had a chance.
Old Lady Song sneered, "When there are difficulties, we have to overcome them together. This is what family means. If anyone dares to have other thoughts, I will never give her a divorce letter and will kick her out of the house to fend for herself."
The two daughters-in-law were shocked. They didn't expect that the aggressiveness they had inflicted on Qiao Yunni would backfire on them.
