One day she called Wang Benyi, and together they took out a pottery pot from the mound. Then she poured out everything in the pottery pot. Except for three or four corners of broken silver, the rest were all small and large copper plates.

The old woman saved two copper coins one by one. The total amount was about six or seven taels of silver. With so many copper coins, it can be seen that the old woman had started planning a long time ago.

Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.

The old woman said: "Benyi, this money was saved by my grandma through our frugality in the past few years. Now I think you are getting older and it's time to get a wife. Our family background is not good, but fortunately you are honest and responsible.

And he looks decent. With this little money, you can buy some betrothal gifts and try to find a way to marry a wife. From now on, you can rely on your ability and the couple will work hard together, and you won’t have to worry about living a difficult life."

Wang Benyi felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face and agreed wholeheartedly.

The old woman smiled and said: "Li Xiaohua, the third girl from Li Erniu's family in our village, is pretty good. The Li family has three or four acres of land and only one son. I heard that the two sisters who were married earlier were each given eight taels of silver as dowry.

Pigs, two quilts, and half an acre of land. The Li family is considered wealthy in our village. Our family is not in good condition and cannot afford much betrothal gifts. Not to mention their dowry money, we only have two pigs and half an acre of land.

An acre of land is pretty good. From now on, if you work and farm, Xiaohua will raise pigs and take care of the kids."

The old woman seemed to feel very happy just imagining that scene.

Just thinking about Xiao Hua's appearance, I feel a little confused: "Xiao Hua is strong and fertile, but her face is not very good-looking, with small eyes and spots on her face."

Then I looked at Wang Benyi's appearance. His grandson had fair skin and a Zhou Zheng appearance. The two of them did not seem to match each other in appearance.

Thinking like this, the old woman felt boring again and lost her smile.

Wang Benyi doesn't like to talk very much, and sometimes he doesn't even say a word all day long, but he knows it very well.

These days, he also felt that his grandma's health was getting worse day by day, and she was getting thinner and thinner. She would sometimes cough in the middle of the night. Although the old woman often covered her mouth and tried not to make a sound, she also often refrained from coughing in front of him.

But Wang Benyi is a martial arts practitioner, so these things cannot escape his ears.

He had advised Mrs. Wang to use the money to see a doctor first. He was not in a hurry to get a wife and could earn money slowly in the future.

But Mrs. Wang refused to do it. She knew in her heart that all the money would be wasted. She had not long to live, so it was better to keep the money for Wang Benyi to find a wife.

He secretly cried, and also thought about doing something else, instead of just working at Mihang to fight rice bags, and earning too little money. He wanted to earn more, but once he had any ideas, the old woman would notice it.

Then persuade him.

He also deeply remembered the moment when Wang Xi was beheaded.

Until a few days ago, Mrs. Wang fainted while working, and Wang Benyi sent the old woman to the hospital.

The doctor said: I don’t have long to live, and I am already in my twilight years. I have an old illness, and it has never been treated. Now I am just counting the days.

Wang Benyi begged the doctor to save his grandmother, who was his only relative.

He smashed the pottery pot in front of the doctor, then knelt in front of the scattered copper plates and begged the doctor to save his grandmother.

Seeing his filial piety, the doctor said that he could keep the ginseng for a while, but it might not last long.

After Wang Ben heard that it could be guaranteed, no matter how long it took, he thought it would work, so he kowtowed and begged the doctor to sell him ginseng.

The doctor looked at the copper coins on the ground. Although there were a lot of copper coins, they were really not much. If you want to buy ginseng, these coins are simply not enough.

A ten-year-old ginseng is sold for twenty taels. The older the ginseng is, the better the effect will be, but the more expensive it will be.

Where can ordinary people afford ginseng?

When Wang Ben saw that the money was not enough, he kept kowtowing and begging.

Finally, the doctor found a ginseng that was more than ten years old and said, "Well, I see your filial piety. This ginseng is more than ten years old and was originally very useful. However, due to poor storage, some of the roots were eaten by insects.

But it doesn’t affect eating, if you don’t mind.”

Before the doctor finished speaking, Wang Benyi quickly thanked him.

Then the doctor cut the ginseng into slices and soaked two slices for Mrs. Wang to take. He asked Wang Benyi to take her back to rest, and told him to brew two slices in the morning and evening. He also told her not to throw away the soaked ginseng slices, and wait.

After the patient wakes up, let the patient chew it and eat it. Don't waste it.

Looking at the two people walking away with Mrs. Wang on their backs, the doctor shook his head and sighed. The ginseng eaten by wealthy people was decades old and was basically lost after soaking.

Only for poor people, he advised not to waste even the ginseng pieces. Then he squatted on the ground and picked up the broken silver and copper plates one by one.

The ginseng slices worked as expected. Mrs. Wang woke up the next day. Wang Ben quickly brought ginseng water to Mrs. Wang to drink. He also gave the soaked ginseng slices to Mrs. Wang and told her to chew them.

After she had recovered, Mrs. Wang asked what she had just eaten. She felt that her body felt a little better after eating it and was not as shaky as the previous two days.

Wang Benyi refused to say anything and only talked about the medicine collected in the mountains.

Mrs. Wang felt that her health was much better. While she was still alive, she wanted to urge Wang Benyi to implement the marriage as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wang asked Wang Ben to dig out the pots, but Wang Benyi refused. Only then did Mrs. Wang get suspicious and dig out the pots, but there were still pots nowhere to be found.

Mrs. Wang burst into tears and sat on the ground, muttering: "Let me die. I am an old-fashioned person, so I will lose my virtue by using this money."

Seeing Mrs. Wang crying so sadly, Wang Benyi knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang without saying anything.

Mrs. Wang cried all afternoon, and Wang Benyi knelt all afternoon. There was really nothing she could do, it had become a fact, and she was only worried about how he would marry a wife.

Seeing that there were still two ginseng slices left, Wang Benyi was in trouble again. There would never be another clay pot to buy ginseng, and there would never be another worm-eaten ginseng to sell.

That night, after finishing the last two slices of ginseng, Wang Benyi ran out while it was still dark and didn't come back until very late.

The next day, Wang Benyi left two bowls of rice and said to Mrs. Wang: "Grandma, ginseng is too expensive and we can't afford it. I'll dig it in the mountains. You wait until I come back."

This was the most common sentence that Wang Benyi said to Mrs. Wang, and it was also the last sentence.

Then Mrs. Wang lived by eating porridge at home. After a few days, Wang Ben came back without seeing her. Mrs. Wang waited anxiously until Li Xiaohua came to tell Mrs. Wang about the notices and portraits posted by the government.

After hearing this, Jiang Wei comforted Mrs. Wang and said, "Okay, I understand. I will send someone to search for places where ginseng grows. They will definitely find him. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang finally smiled, and then she knelt down to thank Jiang Er.
