I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

In the room.

Mrs. Lin, Ji Xiaobei, Xiaoju, Xiaohua, Fu Jichang, Heita and Aqi each held a coarse porcelain bowl and ate their food.

The jelly is refreshing and smooth, sour and sweet

The braised pork is slippery and greasy, and your mouth is full of oil

Pork belly stewed with dried eggplant, the aroma is so delicious that you can't take your tongue out

……

It’s just that the pancakes made by Mrs. Lin are a bit mediocre!

Not ordinary hard!

Ji Xiaobei picked up a piece of cake and knocked it against the edge of the water jar. Bang, bang, bang, the paste on it was knocked off.

I soaked it in the eggplant and meat dish. After taking a few bites, my cheeks felt sore and painful. It was really difficult to bite.

Aqi broke one of his baby teeth...

He grinned and laughed, "Auntie Lin's cakes are really good. I have had these teeth for years and they never fall out..."

Aunt Lin felt a little better when she saw the sensible Aqi.

"The bandits came and frightened me. I can't cook properly. I didn't make cakes like this before..."

Mrs. Lin grumbled with dissatisfaction.

She was indeed frightened, but it wasn't enough to affect her ability to make cakes.

However, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Look at them soaking the pancakes in jelly and eggplant soup...

Mrs. Lin didn't care about it. If it was cooked like this, everyone would eat so much. If it was made more delicious, it would be amazing!

The people outside the house couldn't bear it any longer.

Old Mrs. Ji tiptoed over and knocked on the door.

"Big brother's wife, have you prepared the meal? It's so hot and I'm so hungry!"

Mrs. Lin hid the leftover food for Shitou.

Ji Xiaobei opened the door with a bang.

"Just leave when you're done!"

"Ah, what did you say?" Old Mrs. Ji was so angry that her eyeballs were about to burst out.

The room was filled with a strong aroma of meat, and when I looked into the pot, there was only water used to wash the pot.

Old Mrs. Ji almost fainted.

Just as he was about to point at Mrs. Lin's nose and curse her, Ji Xiaobei stood in front of Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at her granddaughter who was growing stronger and stronger, and she felt timid and took a few steps back.

"You are going too far. We worked hard to repair the wall for you, and you are living in the house with delicious food and drinks. Why is our life so miserable?"

Old Mrs. Ji was about to cry.

The two daughters-in-law outside were already crying with anger.

It smells so good!

So hungry!

They ate it all, there's nothing left!

At this time, Tieqiu ran in with sweat on his face.

"Xiaobei, Sister Xiaobei, my father and his family are back, and they want you to go. They are at the ancestral hall..."

Before he could finish his words, he pulled Xiaohua and ran out.

"Hey! I just ate, don't run so fast!" Xiaohua covered her stomach.

"Run, I haven't eaten yet. After the money is divided, my grandma will make me some white pancakes..."

The two children went to the ancestral hall.

The return of the tree roots is equivalent to the return of the silver.

Oh my god, it’s time to share the money!

Old Mrs. Ji didn't have time to argue with Ji Xiaobei, and the whole family went towards the ancestral hall.

More than a hundred people surrounded the door of the ancestral hall, making it impossible to get in or out.

Seeing Ji Xiaobei coming, he took the initiative to make way for him.

Ji Li was sitting in the main hall of the ancestral hall.

My grandfather always carried a cane and looked at people outside with a kind look.

Stones, tree roots and Song Laohei were guarding the door like guards.

Only when he saw Ji Xiaobei coming in did he open the door.

"Bei is here and the money is back!" Ji Li was holding a heavy cloth bag, afraid that it would fly away.

Ji Xiaobei sat down.

Ji Lizheng began to divide the money.

Teacher Haixia held the pen and paper upright and took notes.

One person enters each house, collects money, counts the money, and goes to the Strait to place fingerprints.

Some were so excited that men and women came in supporting each other and almost kowtowed to Ji Xiaobei.

Each family received 7 taels of silver, which was a huge fortune for the people of Jijiawan.

In a year with good weather and good harvests, a well-off family could save at most one or two taels of silver a year.

After a while, all the money was distributed.

Shugen received three taels of silver on behalf of Ji Lizheng.

The headman's wife walked very fast with 12 taels of silver in her arms.

Tieqiu and Tiedan followed him home and slammed the gate shut. Shugen's wife even bolted the door.

"Dad hasn't come back yet? Why are you locking the door?"

Shugen was unhappy with his daughter-in-law for inserting the door.

The wife of the village head glared at her son and said, "Someone stole the silver, but no one stole your father!"

Tree Root: ...Mom is right!

He propped the door up with a wooden stake.

The headman's wife asked her daughter-in-law to take her two grandsons to bed to prevent the little bastards from peeking where the money was hidden.

A quarter of an hour later, Shugen's wife coaxed her hungry son to sleep.

Mother-in-law hasn't found where to hide the silver yet.

Finally, the tree root made the decision and hid in the kang hole where my father slept.

Ji Xiaobei was the last one to receive the money.

Mrs. Lin didn't dare to take it for fear of losing it, so Ji Xiaobei could only smile bitterly and walk home with the bag of money.

"Oh! How can you be like this? Put it on your waist!"

Mrs. Lin looked around vigilantly and warned in a low voice.

"Sister, the head of the village is looking for you!" Shitou ran out and shouted.

Ji Xiaobei had no choice but to go back. She stuffed the money into Mrs. Lin's arms and ran away.

Mrs. Lin is too timid. She doesn't even dare to take more than ten taels of silver. If she has more money in the future, she will be scared to death!

Mrs. Lin put the money on her chest and ran home.

Xiaoju couldn't catch up even after chasing from behind.

Ji Xiaobei returned to the ancestral hall. It turned out to be the remaining 21 taels of silver. Ji Lizheng didn't know where he had put it. His family already had more than ten taels of silver. With the addition of these twenty taels, his ancestral temple was too small and he was afraid that it could not hold them all!

Let Ji Xiaobei make the decision.

Ji Xiaobei agreed to keep it for them.

Ji Dashengzi and Ji Lizheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Until dark, there was not a single person on the village streets.

The people in Jijiawan are either counting money at home or thinking about how to hide the money.

Ah Qi deposited his two taels of silver with Mrs. Lin.

After the money was distributed, the village became quiet for a while.

Those who had no food went to buy food.

Some people also bought meat, and for several days in a row, Jijia Bay was filled with the aroma.

The children were strolling on the street with their full stomachs.

Ji Decai's hair gradually grew out and he gradually got rid of the title of bald donkey.

Ma Debiao's burnt head began to grow hair, and Xiaocai was alive and kicking.

It seems that everything is back to normal.

People went from being frightened to being pleasantly surprised; some people couldn't handle it and fell ill.

Ji Lizheng has been having a fever for several days.

Mrs. Lin was also feeling sick and looked low in spirits.

When he had nothing to do, he would hang around the cellar in the backyard where the money and grain were stored.

Xiaohua got up this morning and didn't go out to play. She felt a little hot, so Mrs. Lin wiped her body and let her go back to sleep.

That morning, Shugen came to borrow the donkey cart and said that his father had a high fever and had talked in his sleep all night.

Ji Xiaobei looked at Aqi who was bending down to make fire.

"Please, can you please invite your grandmother to our village? Several people in our village have fallen ill at once. My grandfather has not been in good health for a long time and has been lying on the kang for several days."

Ji Xiaobei asked.

Shugen drove the donkey cart and took Aqi to pick up his grandmother.

I heard from Aqi that his grandmother was a barefoot doctor, but for some reason, she rarely treated patients.

He also said that this was except for treating Ji Dongjia.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and praised Aqi for his ability to speak.

If people in Jijiawan have a headache or a fever, they just bear it. If they can't bear it anymore, they go to the town to get some medicine.

If nothing works, just stay at home and leave it to fate.

It would be a good thing if we could invite the beggar's grandmother to come.
