After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Xu Linzhi was a little distressed. The snow in her dream was indeed very heavy. Not to mention the poor people outside the city, even in the capital city, which seemed to be full of rich people, many houses were collapsed by the heavy snow.

The screams and cries of those people frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

"But we only have this much money at home..."

Xu Qinghe took out the stack of banknotes from his arms and began to look through them carefully one by one.

"If we had known this earlier, we would have asked the Guan family to buy us a smaller yard and give us more banknotes..."

Xu Linzhi's mother muttered something at the side, and was glared at by Xu Qingrong.

"How dare you say that? Those jewelry you bought during the day are nice, but they are too expensive. Can you eat or drink all of them?"

Xu Qinghe counted the silver bills one by one, then took out a heavy purse, opened it, and counted the large and small silver coins inside.

"…thirty-five…thirty-six…thirty-seven…"

"We only have 37 taels of silver here, plus the 750 taels of silver notes just now, we still have 787 taels in total. We can't spend all of it. We have to keep some for emergencies. What if someone gets a headache or a fever? What if we don't have any silver in our hands?"

Xu Linzhi's mother was scolded by her husband. She muttered something but didn't dare to really argue with the man. She reached out to adjust the hairpin on her head, feeling inevitably proud.

What happened to the jewelry she bought?

This is the capital city, not the poor Xujia Village where even the poorest people live. Even the old lady with almost no teeth here has several pieces of jewelry on her body.

Others can buy it, why can't she?

She didn’t have any ideas before when she was in Xujia Village, but now that she has entered this prosperous capital city, she thinks she has seen a lot.

We are no longer living in the poor and remote place of Xujia Village, so naturally we have to buy some good things for ourselves.

But at this moment, her husband and children were planning how to buy food, and no one cared about her thoughts at all.

"Okay, okay, just keep the 100 taels of silver notes and these small changes. After all, we need money for food and drink every day. The rest of the silver notes will be exchanged for food and charcoal tomorrow..."

After several people discussed for a while, Xu Qingrong waved his hand and made the decision with the courage to be the master of his own house.

"Then...then...we agreed to buy a few maids to serve us..."

Although Xu Linzhi's mother was afraid of her man, she became reluctant when she thought that if she didn't buy a maid, she would have to do all the chores at home herself.

Everyone else was thinking about how to exchange for more food. When they heard that she now had to worry about buying a maid to serve her, they looked at her in disbelief.

"Mother, when we make a lot of money from selling grain, we will immediately buy you dozens of maids and servants to serve you..."

After all, she is her own mother who loves her, so Xu Linzhi wanted to persuade her mother a few words to prevent her mother from making her father angry again. If she was scolded again, no one would know who to help.

"My daughter is the one who knows how to feel sorry for me."

Mother Xu Linzhi regretted the moment she said that. Now, seeing the man and sons staring at her, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then I will listen to you, but you will have to help me with the housework these days..."

She grabbed Xu Linzhi's wrist, her eyes full of eager anticipation.

Xu Linzhi felt blocked in her heart. Even though she was unwilling, it was not easy for her to say it out loud at this time. She had no choice but to nod and agree.

It seems that her mother was right. Buying a few maids to serve the family is the most urgent thing they need to do now.

If the sisters-in-law were still here, it would be great. There would be no need for a little girl like her to do these trivial household chores. Just like before in Xujia Village, there would be someone to help take care of everything at home. Unfortunately...

Thinking of her sister-in-law, Xu Linzhi's face turned pale and she didn't dare to think about those things at all.

Xu Qingrong has always been too lazy to care too much about household matters. He doesn't care who does the laundry and cooking, as long as it's never his turn.

"Dad, do we need to tell those people in the north of the city?"

The eldest son of the Xu family hesitated for a long time, but finally asked what was on his mind.

When the others heard him ask this question, they all looked at Xu Qingrong, waiting for him, the head of the family, to make a decision.

"Zhi'er, what do you think?"

Xu Qingrong hesitated for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he set his sights on his most beloved little daughter.

Yuxiu, who was hiding outside the window, heard them mention someone from the north of the city and immediately thought of the other people in Xujia Village.

You have to know that in such a huge capital city, you can't just live anywhere you want.

As the saying goes, the east is rich and the west is noble, the north is poor and the south is humble. This is roughly how the people are distributed in the capital today.

I have been to Yuxiu in the north of the city mentioned by the Xu family several times. There is a large shantytown there, which is what everyone often calls the slum.

If the people of Xujia Village were really brought to the capital, it would be normal for them to be settled in the slums.

"We all come from the same village, so we should inform them of this news."

Xu Linzhi naturally didn't want to tell this kind of thing to everyone, but she didn't want to say it out loud either. She frowned and thought for a long time before finally thinking of the most crucial point.

"They were able to settle down smoothly in the capital because our family risked their reputation to ask the eldest son of the Guan family for help. Now they can't even get a penny. Even if we tell them this news, they..."

Xu Linzhi's face was somewhat gloomy, and she lowered her head, looking somewhat reluctant. However, Yuxiu's gaze had always been on her face through the gap in the window. At this time, she could clearly see that she curled the corners of her mouth, and seemed to be gloating.

Yes, those people have become extremely poor, so how can they afford to store food?

It would be good enough if I could find some work to do before the heavy snow came and earn some money to buy rice.

Everyone in the room had the same idea, so they stopped talking about this matter and started discussing how to buy food tomorrow.

Because Yuxiu wanted to know the details about the heavy snow, she did not leave. She stood outside the window and listened for a long time. Finally, she understood why the Xu family could live here.

It turned out that Xu Linzhi had received a tip in advance that day, so she brought the Xu family to rescue the nobleman she wanted to hook up with. That man claimed to be the eldest son of the Guan family.
