After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

Fang Cuihua woke up in a sweat at the sound of roosters crowing. The familiar snoring was still in her ears. She reached out and pinched her thigh. The severe pain made her realize that she was awake.

He reached out and picked up a coat from the bedside and put it on, then tiptoed out of the room, still holding the fire starter and oil lamp from the kang cabinet in his hands.

There was not a breath of wind in the yard. Fang Cuihua lit a fire stick, lit the oil lamp and walked towards the room where the children were sleeping.

She gently pushed the door open. The creaking sound did not disturb the child's sleep. Fang Cuihua walked to Guangdan anxiously and gently touched his little head with trembling hands.

She gently placed her fingers on Guangdan's nose and felt the warm and moist breath. She heaved a sigh of relief and tears gradually flowed from her eyes.

Fearing that she might disturb the child, Fang Cuihua confirmed again and again that Guangdan was just asleep before leaving the room.

After returning to the yard, I blew out the oil lamp and sat quietly on the small stool in the yard, looking up at the night sky without blinking. The big rooster in the backyard was crowing happily. The only sounds in the village were the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs. It was not quiet at all.

She couldn't calm down at all, the dream was too real, the child's face was pale from being soaked, and the touch was cold. She could only feel at ease if she went to see Guangdan.

The next morning, everyone noticed Fang Cuihua had two dark circles under her eyes. Fortunately, Fang Cuihua had already recovered from the dream by then.

But early in the morning, all the children, big and small, in the room were scolded by Fang Cuihua by holding their ears.

You are not allowed to play in the water or take a bath in the river. Anyway, you are not allowed to go to the river!!!

This made the kids, who were still dazed early in the morning, even more confused. What happened?

Because they don’t know how to play by the river!

Ever since a child fell into the river and drowned in the village one summer a few years ago, the adults in the village no longer allow children to go to the river to play in the water, and bathing in the river is even more impossible.

Only Guangdan was slightly thoughtful, because if he remembered correctly, the original owner drowned in the river when he was in his teens. Maybe his mother had dreamed about something.

But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only honestly raise his little paws and swear that he would never go to the river to play in the water.

Even Gouwei's job of catching fish by the river was forcibly stopped by Fang Cuihua, which made Gouwei very upset. Otherwise, it would have been great to bring back some fish every now and then as a snack.

About five days later, in the morning, Uncle Fang came to the Lin family with a somewhat unfamiliar middle-aged man.

This time, Uncle Fang was dressed more neatly than before. The middle-aged man next to him looked younger than Uncle Fang and seemed to have a good family life. His skin was not as sallow as the others, but still very dark.

Before Guangdan had time to observe carefully, his grandfather ordered him to go to the field to call his parents and uncle back home.

When he came back, grandpa had already started chatting with the two of them in the main room, and grandma was carrying some hot sugar water into the main room.

"Grandma, let me do it, let me do it!" Guangdan carefully took the tray from his grandma's hand. On it were two large bowls of steaming sugar water.

The old lady was a bit stingy and was reluctant to use honey, but now she is willing to use sugar water to entertain guests, which is a great improvement. If she had hands, I would give her a thumbs up.

After Lin Daniu and his wife, and Lin Xiaoniu came back, the real conversation began.

"This is my cousin. Cuihua knows him. I thought that since we are going to do it, we should do it seriously. Chui Zi has been working as a escort in the county town since he was young. He just came back last year. He is also very familiar with the way to the provincial capital." Uncle Fang said directly.

"Oh, Brother Hammer is back now. I thought you were still escorting people!" Fang Cuihua widened her eyes in surprise.

Although escorting is risky, it is very profitable. There are several men in Fangjia Village who are doing this. In the early years, my eldest brother was also eager to try it at home, but because he was the only son in the family, his father nipped him in the bud.

When the nephews grew up, the eldest sister-in-law did not let them go because she was worried about the risks of escorting. Now seeing this cousin, Fang Cuihua thinks that he is an excellent candidate.

He is familiar with the roads and knows more about the city than his own family. Well, he may have money and may even be able to sneak behind the escort caravan.

"I heard from your eldest brother that you were preparing to collect the goods and sell them in the provincial capital. I thought I had nothing to do at home, so I talked to your eldest brother to see what you had to say." Fang Chuizi said with a smile, his eyes observing the people in the room calmly.

"What we're thinking is that my uncle and my son will go to collect mountain products and materials. The cost will be divided equally between the two families, and the money earned will also be divided equally. But we haven't discussed the specific amount of capital yet." Grandpa Lin said with a wrinkled smile on his old face.

"Well, I've heard about this too, but to be honest, if the capital is not much, you can't make much, so I thought of adding some money into it, and then I and my eldest brother will split it privately. The capital will still be half for each of you two families." Fang Chuizi said with a smile.

What he didn't say was that if your family pays less than ours, you can't say anything to me.

"Okay, how about fifty taels of silver per family as the capital?" Grandpa Lin asked calmly with his eyes narrowed.

These words were directly dropped into the main room, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Even Lin Daniu scratched his ears uncertainly.

"father?"

"Okay, with this capital, we can get some good stuff, and then we can go to the capital city to find rich families and sell it for a good price." Uncle Fang patted his thigh and said excitedly.

Lin Daniu still looked around in disbelief. This is one hundred taels!!! One hundred taels!!!

It’s not ten taels nor twenty taels!!!

Guangdan stood silently by, feeling a little curious about Uncle Hammer. He turned to look at his own uncle. He knew his uncle well and thought he was very reliable. If there was something wrong with Uncle Hammer, his own uncle would definitely not bring him here.

I just gave up thinking this and didn't ask any more questions out of my curiosity.

After all, Uncle Hammer has said that the capital is still half between the Lin family and Uncle Fang. As for how Uncle Hammer and his own uncle divide it privately, that is their own problem.

Besides, this Uncle Hammer can not only provide money, but also provide a lot of help along the way.

"On our side, my eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Niu, Guangdan, and the fourth child from my eldest brother's family will go together. It just so happens that I have a little calf at home. What do you say?

Grandpa Lin ignored his boss and went straight to the next topic.

"There are only me, Hammer, and my second son here. Hammer's family has a mule, and we use the mule to pull the cart." Uncle Fang laughed after he said this.
