A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 156 One trick to solve
After delivering all the things to the old lady, Wen Meijiu went to a more remote place and drove the two carriages hidden in the space back home.
While it was still light, she and her mother put the things they would need on the road in the back of a car and tied them up.
Although the old lady said that she would give Dad a carriage to use, Wen Meijiu still didn't want Dad to suffer that.
The old lady was in a good mood and said this just to make them feel better. As time goes by, it is not certain how she will treat Dad.
Wen Meijiu never dared to put his family's happiness in the hands of others.
After finishing all this, Wen Meijiu and Mother went to bed early so that they could travel more quickly tomorrow. However, Mother stared at the two carriages in a daze.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mother held her chin with both hands, squatted at the door, looked in the direction of the carriage and murmured:
"It would be nice if mother could drive a carriage, too."
There were two carriages. Mother was afraid that Wen Meijiu would not be able to get back by herself tomorrow. Although she drove the two carriages back by herself, it looked really hard to see her looking back and forth.
Wen Meijiu understood his mother's thoughts. She was worried because she was afraid that he would have to work hard.
"Don't worry, mother. If it really doesn't work, just ask the uncles from the village chief's family for help.
It's just a matter of driving the carriage, they won't refuse."
Wen Meijiu gave the village chief a carriage with some wine, which is a huge favor no matter where it is, let alone during a time of famine. The village chief is also a grateful person and would not refuse this favor.
“It’s good to chase them away, but Mom still feels a little uneasy.
The sons of the village chief have all started their own families and careers. It would be unreasonable to ask them to come and help drive the cart without letting their wives and children get on.
We have two carriages in our house. When others get on, we have to squeeze into your father's carriage.
By this calculation, it is not much different from giving someone a carriage as a gift, except that we can put some of our things on it.
But those things are always needed when eating, sleeping on the road, and it is not convenient to always get them.
Alas, this is inconvenient no matter how you think about it."
Mother was sighing again.
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. So what do you think we should do?"
My mother is not usually such a petty person. Even if she encounters such things, she always endures it and lets it go. What happened today?
When Wen Meijiu said this, the mother raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Wen Meijiu, then glanced into the east room and whispered:
"Good wine! The village chief said we should set out at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow, but Prince Wang said it was 11:00 a.m."
Wen Meijiu finally understood what his mother was worried about. No wonder she looked so uneasy.
No matter what his family thinks of Prince Wang, Wen Meijiu is determined to get rid of him.
"Mom, there's nothing we can do about it.
Young Master Wang agreed with us yesterday, but the village chief only decided to leave at 1:00 a.m. today. This was due to the situation, not that we didn't want to take them with us.
You also heard how dangerous the situation outside is today.
People are dying, so we don't want to think too much about it. Let's wait until we get to Donghai County and slowly inquire about their news. Anyway, he said that they are going to Donghai County too."
As Wen Meijiu was talking, he turned towards the direction of the carriage. When people lie, they always feel a little guilty.
"But if we take them with us, they have more people and can help us drive the carriage, right?"
The mother looked at her daughter and turned around to give her a slap on the back, thinking that Wen Meijiu was unhappy about this. So, she began to carefully explain to Wen Meijiu her real intention of wanting to go on the road with Prince Wang.
In fact, this was not what mother really thought. Dad had already told mother privately why he had to agree to travel with Master Wang. The main reason was that he was afraid that what Wen Meijiu had done in the past would be reported by someone, and it would be safer to follow Master Wang.
When Dad told Mom these things, he also specifically told her not to tell Wen Meijiu about his thoughts, so as to avoid any psychological burden on her.
Wen Meijiu held her forehead with her hand, not understanding why her mother suddenly asked about Young Master Wang. She turned around slowly. She had already made up her mind.
"Mom, you only see that they have a lot of people, but you don't know how much they eat. We can't even afford to feed them!"
Mother thought back to when Master Wang brought his men to eat. Except for Master Wang and Zhi Zheng who ate relatively little, the others did have big appetites.
"That prince is so rich, and they also have carriages, so they should have brought enough food, right?"
Mother was thinking about it in her mind, not knowing whether what she said was right or not.
"Mom, a young man like him has no sense of crisis at all, and everything is just for food and clothes.
If you ask him whether he has stored any food, it would be a waste of time. It would be better to ask the person in charge of the kitchen.
He is rich and thinks he can buy food everywhere, but in fact money is not omnipotent.
They won't care about the little money for food at all, and they won't store food in advance for the journey. I can guarantee it with my life because I have been in his house.
Even if we take a step back and say that Prince Wang sends one of his men to drive our carriage in the wilderness where there are no restaurants or the like, and if someone comes with money to buy our grain, should we sell it or not?
If you don't sell it, his men are still driving the car for us.
Let's sell it. The food we have is barely enough for our family of five to get to Donghai County. If we add all those people, our food is definitely not enough.
Besides, they are helping us drive the carriage. People like you and dad who are soft-hearted and kind-hearted will definitely not ask them for money for food.
It's okay for one person to eat for free, but if a group of people eat so much, how long can we feed them?
Well, this situation is considered good.
If my grandma and aunt knew that such a good job fell into someone else's hands, they would definitely scold you and my dad. When we flee from famine, there will be so many people watching us, it will be so embarrassing for our family.
Mother, I think we should just forget about this matter. I don’t want to get into such bad luck.”
He shook his hand with regret and fear, and went into the house with a trembling body after drinking the warm wine.
The mother squatted on the steps outside in a daze for a long time, and what her daughter said seemed to make some sense.
The old lady and Ren Meiluo are both masters of changing their faces, and no one can guarantee whether this will really happen.
"Okay, let's leave it to fate tomorrow!"
Mother muttered something softly, stood up regretfully, supported her knees, went into the east room to sleep, and hesitated whether to tell father about tomorrow's events.
Mother's words reminded Wen Meijiu. In order to prevent Dad from waking up too early the next morning and thinking about Master Wang again, Wen Meijiu gave Dad a bowl of warm water in advance and asked him to drink it.
After drinking the warm water, Dad fell into a deep sleep and no matter how Mom called him, he couldn't wake up.
She reached out to check and found that he was still breathing. The mother thought that her husband was just too sleepy, so she let him have a good sleep and they could talk about this matter tomorrow morning.
