Chapter 164: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 4
At this time, Qin Sanlang, who was waiting outside the city, saw his uncle driving out in an ox cart, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He pointed at the ox cart excitedly and asked in disbelief, "Uncle, did you buy this?" It would cost more than ten taels of silver. Where did my uncle get the money?
Lin Qing waved at him: "Hurry up and get in the car, let's go back and talk about it."
He originally wanted to buy two ox carts, but unfortunately, the cattle and horse market had already ended at this time, and he only had this one, so Liu Langzhong, the second manager, took him to the gambling house and bought one at the internal price. They were all mortgaged by prodigal sons, so they were better than those sold outside and the price was more affordable.
Qin Sanlang climbed onto the ox cart with two large baskets on it with a confused look on his face.
Lin Qing was driving the cart in front, his heart full of hope for the future. Even if Doctor Liu regretted not giving the remaining nine thousand taels, the five hundred taels would be enough for their family to live a wealthy life for many years.
I just don't quite understand why his second sister asked him to buy two ox carts? Generally speaking, if a farmer like them has money, shouldn't they buy some land to plant?
......
When they drove the ox cart into Dashibeishi Village, it was still dark outside. It was not the busy farming season, and many villagers who had finished their meals early were gathered in the village to chat.
Today's topic is the Qin Lin family's four children who were kicked out of the home.
An old lady who was weaving a basket sighed, "The Qin family is really cruel. They are not like other families in the village who can't afford the 10 taels of silver for exemption from conscription. Why can't they be willing to give it to a living person?"
The others in the village who were conscripted were either elderly men or those whose families could not afford to eat, or those single households who had no money and could not even afford to marry a wife. Any family that had some means would not let their strong sons go and die.
"Heh~" an aunt sneered: "If you ask me, Qin Lao Er deserves it. My husband felt sorry for him and said he could lend him 10 taels of silver and let him pay it back slowly, but what did he say?"
Others were also curious: "What did you say?"
The aunt curled her lips in disdain: "Qin Laoer said that his parents did it for his own good, and they didn't want him to stay at home as a farmer for the rest of his life. Now is the right time for him to go out and make achievements, and also to earn a royal title for his mother."
Everyone was speechless. They knew that Qin Lao Er was a simple-minded person, but they didn't expect him to be so simple-minded.
Those who came to recruit soldiers hinted to the village chief that the higher-ups had no shortage of men to fight, they just had no money and wanted to get some silver. Those who didn't want to hand it over would be cannon fodder once they went to the battlefield. Unless you had some kind of gifted talent, it would be impossible for you to come back alive.
Look, in less than a month, all those people who were dragged to the battlefield were gone.
An old lady sighed: "It's hard for Qin Laoer's wife and children. I don't know if Qin Lin can survive this."
"Today I saw her brother from her mother's side carrying a doctor to her house, but it seemed that he came out after a short while. I don't know what's going on with him now."
"I think it's pretty bad. I heard that her other brothers and sisters from her mother's family are all doing well, but they are having a harder time than the other, and no one is willing to help them.
This time, the youngest Lin was exempted from military service. I guess he spent all his savings over the years, so how could he have any money left to buy medicine for his second sister? "
"Before, Qin Lin asked me to help her little brother find a wife. The boy is 18 this year, his parents are gone, and none of his other brothers and sisters are willing to help arrange it. It has been delayed until now."
"Alas~ If Qin Lin can't make it, the four children will have to follow their uncle back to Lin Village. It will be even more difficult for the youngest Lin to find a wife in the future."
This is more terrifying than being a stepmother.
As they were talking, someone suddenly shouted, "Hey~ Is that Lin Laoyao and Qin Sanlang? Why are they driving a bullock cart back?"
Several men who were bragging and chatting outside immediately surrounded them and said, "It's really you two. Where did you borrow this ox cart from?"
Qin Sanlang raised his head high, with a little pride on his face, and said, "My uncle bought it. It's only 2 years old and still very strong."
In ancient times, cattle around 2-4 years old generally had the highest price. If a family bought a cattle of this age group, they would be envied for a long time.
An old man walked up and touched the cow's nose, looked at its teeth, and then nodded enviously:
"What a good cow. The cows that rich families feed are like this. They feed them fresh grass and concentrated feed that they mix themselves, so they look different. You can't buy this outside."
When this old man was young, he worked as a cattle and horse raiser for a wealthy family in the city. When he said this, all the other villagers believed it.
All the envious and jealous eyes were directed at Lin Qing: "How did you make the money? How could you afford to buy such a good cow? The price is not low, right?"
There was also a guy with naughty hands who was about to overturn the basket on the cart. Qin Sanlang tried to stop him and was almost pushed off the cart.
Lin Qing was furious. He quickly pulled out a bow and arrow from his back, and at the same time pulled out an arrow and put it on the string. He pointed it at everyone and said, "That's how I earned money. Do you want to try it? If you dare to touch my nephew again, don't worry about the blindness of the weapon in my hand."
The men then remembered that the boy was a hunter and could carry weapons with him. All these prey had seen blood. Even if he killed someone and ran away to the mountains, there would be no place to catch him. Who would dare to provoke him easily?
Seeing that everyone gave way obediently, Lin Qing said no more. He just drove towards the dilapidated thatched house at the end of the village with a grim face.
I had wanted to go and watch the fun, but now I didn't dare to act rashly. I could only stretch my neck and look in that direction from a distance.
They didn't have to wait too long, just an incense stick's time, and Lin Qing came out holding Qin Lin, who was wrapped in a brand new quilt, and carefully placed her on the ox cart.
Qin Sanlang was holding the youngest Balang, and Si Niang was holding Wulang, and the children all looked so happy that they were grinning from ear to ear.
The two adults and four children ignored the strange looks from the villagers and happily drove the ox cart away from Beishi Village.
The villagers were still in a daze until the oxcart disappeared completely. A boy was the first to react: "I saw Qin Sanlang eating candy, and Si Niang had a red snack in her hand."
His father slapped him on the back of his head and said, "Am I blind? Are you the only one watching me?"
Others began to discuss, "So what big thing did Lin Laoyao get this time? It's a bullock cart and candy."
A young wife who knew what was good said, "That new quilt that Qin Lin was wearing, I saw it on the cloth pile last time, the asking price was 5 taels of silver, this guy is really willing to spend."
Several women looked at each other tacitly. It seemed that the matchmaking could be started. Nowadays, not only were there many boys who couldn't find wives, but many families were also worried that their daughters would grow up but couldn't find a good family.
In the end, many parents could only hurriedly find an older one to exchange for some food.
