"Mom, it's my fault that my sons didn't give up to my mother." Lin Dahu said guiltily.
"It's none of your business. It's because Mom was impatient before and didn't train you well. Instead, she focused her energy on outsiders. This time after being hurt by Ye Yaozu and the others, Mom finally figured it out. It's better to rely on yourself than relying on others."
Ye Chuqiu said: "Of course, my mother will also train you well in the future. She will teach you to read and calligraphy, teach you to practice martial arts, and send four tigers and five phoenixes to the school so that all of you can make a difference."
"mother."
Several children looked at Ye Chuqiu together, and they were all very moved.
"Okay, this time I have told you all the things that are deep in my heart. I will not say these words in the future. Let us work together to live a good life."
Ye Chuqiu reached out to them.
Lin Dahu looked at Ye Chuqiu's outstretched hand and was stunned for a moment before he put his hand on it. Then several children put their hands on it. Ye Chuqiu also put his left hand on it, and held them tightly for a long time before letting go.
.
"Mom, my son has one more thing to ask."
Seeing that Ye Chuqiu was in a good mood today, Lin Dahu said something else.
"What's the matter?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Mom, you spent a lot on this journey, where did our money come from?" Lin Dahu asked cautiously.
"Well, didn't I tell you before? Mom sold the ancestral treasure." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Mom, please don't mislead us. You don't have any ancestral treasures. Even if grandpa and the others have treasures, they won't pass them on to you."
Lin Dahu added: "As for our old Lin family, we don't have any treasures. Grandpa and grandma are fair people. If there are treasures, they will definitely be distributed to the second uncle and the third uncle when the family was divided."
After listening to Lin Dahu's words, Ye Chuqiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant. He was reminding himself that he had always said that he got the money by selling his ancestral treasures, but this statement might make his second wife,
The third family mistakenly believed that the treasure was passed down from the old Lin family, which caused discord.
"Hey, Mom, let me tell you the truth. The treasure that Mom sold was given to me by the Jianghu man that Mom saved before. Originally, he said that if we meet again one day, he would go to him with this treasure and he could satisfy Mom's request.
, but my mother was forced to have no choice this time, so she pawned the treasure.
"Mom, what kind of treasure is it?" Sihu asked again.
"Shh." Ye Chuqiu put her finger to her mouth, looked around, motioning for them to get closer to her, and then whispered: "You guys, we are in the lobby of the inn, not at home, how can you do this?
Is it so loud? If people hear it, isn’t it troublesome?”
"Yes." Lin Dahu responded, looking to the left and right, and just in time Shopkeeper Tian came in from the backyard, holding a pot of hot tea in his hand, and said with an enthusiastic smile: "Add some hot tea to the guests."
Seeing that everyone looked at him with rather unkind eyes, he bravely gave them more tea and quickly went down again.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Tian, do you know that Skinny Monkey?" Ye Chuqiu stopped Shopkeeper Tian.
"I know you." Shopkeeper Tian nodded repeatedly.
"He brought us here before and promised to pay him for tea, but in the end we didn't bother to pay him. Since you know him, can you tell me how much we should pay him for tea?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Hey, there's no need to give it. Shouhou brought the guests to my little inn, which itself attracted business for us. How can we let the guests pay this money? The inn has already paid for his hard work.
"Shopkeeper Tian said quickly.
"So, thank you very much."
Ye Chuqiu nodded to him, then turned to look at Lin Dahu and the others, "It's a rare visit to the city. We know you guys definitely want to go out for a walk. Mom will take you out for a walk today."
"Sister-in-law, we plan to go out and sell the horse." Lin Qingyun said after discussing with the two brothers Lin Qingshi.
"Okay." Ye Chuqiu nodded, "Then let's split up and meet at the inn in the evening."
"Mom, should we also sell two horses?" Lin Dahu suggested: "We are country people after all. Owning so many horses is too eye-catching."
"Okay, then sell three and keep two." Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and nodded.
Two horses, one for riding and one for pulling the cart, so that you don’t have to be so tired when traveling in the future.
After discussing it, Lin Dahu and the others went to the manager Tian and asked about the location of the livestock market, and they all went to sell the horses together.
Together, the three of them sold five horses at once, so the price was greatly suppressed by the horse dealer. Such a good horse only sold for twenty taels.
For Ye Chuqiu, it was naturally not worth it, but Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi's families were very satisfied. Twenty taels of silver was a huge sum of money for them.
The two of them farmed in the countryside and lived frugally. After ten years of hard work, they might not be able to save twenty taels of silver, but now they got it all at once. This made them so happy that their hands were shaking with excitement.
.
Ye Chuqiu didn't react at all. She still had more than a hundred taels of silver in her hand. This amount of money was nothing to her. She would find a pawn shop later and sell a glass bead, and she could get it without even asking.
Ten taels of silver.
"Sister-in-law, thanks to your care along the way, these five taels of silver are given to you by my brother as a filial piety. Don't think it's too little." Lin Qingyun immediately took out the five taels of silver and gave it to Ye Chuqiu. He said it was filial piety, but in fact it was Ye Chuqiu's.
Give them money for food, drinks and chews on the road in early autumn.
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Take it as you should. Ye Chuqiu helped them a lot along the way, and they also gave them food, drinks, and food. She didn't feel bad at all accepting the money.
"Sister-in-law, this is my little brother's share."
Lin Qingshi also handed over five taels of silver, and Ye Chuqiu accepted it. Then she asked Zhao Hehua for the money that Chai Chunfang had deposited with her, and handed it to Lin Qingshi, "This is the money that Chunfang deposited with me. You guys
Take it back."
"Sister-in-law, you keep this money." Chai Chunfang said quickly.
"Take it." Ye Chuqiu forced the money into her hand and said to the others: "Let's all separate here and go shopping wherever you want. Just meet at the inn in the evening."
"OK."
Everyone responded and dispersed.
After they all left, Ye Chuqiu looked at her children and smiled. Then she walked to the horse shop and exchanged some broken silver and copper plates. She handed one of the broken pieces of silver to Lin Dahu and said, "Take it."
Go, take your mother-in-law and buy whatever you want."
Then he looked at a few little guys and gave them ten cents each, "Take it, I'll give you some pocket money."
"Thank you, mother."
The children were very happy and bowed to Ye Chuqiu together.
"Mom, why are you so generous?" Sihu couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, I used to save money to study for Ye Yaozu, but now that they are gone, of course my mother will focus on you." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile.
"That's great, mother, you are so good to us, we will be good to you when you get older," Sihu said.
"You mean, if I don't treat you well, won't you ignore me when I get old?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
Lin Sihu's eyes widened and he didn't know how to answer. Lin Dahu on the side helped him and said: "What did mother say? She gave birth to us, even if she beat and scolded us, it was for our own good. We will remember mother's kindness all our lives."
, I will also support my mother for the rest of my life."
"Haha, I don't believe what you say. When my mother gets old in the future, you might just carry her to the mountains and throw her away."
Ye Chuqiu said with a smile. Without waiting for their reply, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You can all go shopping on the street. Dahu, Erhu, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, you know?"
"Mom, aren't you coming with us?" Lin Dahu frowned.
"I won't go with you because I find you annoying." Ye Chuqiu looked disgusted.
"Mom, just come with us. Without you, it would be boring for us to even go out on the street." The caring Sihu hugged Ye Chuqiu's arm, and Wufeng silently hugged her other side.
Seeing how well-behaved they were, Ye Chuqiu thought that she just wanted to know the current prices today and had no intention of doing anything extraordinary, so she followed them to the street.
