Chapter 173: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 13

An old man reached out and touched the cow's head with shining eyes: "This cow is good, who did you borrow it from, young boy?"

Before Lin Qing could reply, little Tiedan stretched out his neck and shouted loudly: "Uncle Qing bought the ox cart himself." He looked so proud, as if the ox cart belonged to his family.

Boom! The crowd was in an uproar. A few days ago, this guy was borrowing money from them so that he could give that stupid Qin Laoer money to exempt him from military service. How come he has enough money to buy a bullock cart today?

Lin Qing also took out the excuse he had prepared long ago: "Yesterday when I went hunting in the mountains, I found a ginseng and sold it to Doctor Liu in the city. I was very lucky and got more than 200 taels of silver in one go."

"How much? More than 200 taels?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the number. Two taels of silver were enough for a family to live a good life for a year. More than 200 taels, wow, that's 100 years!

The aunts and grandmas in the crowd who had girls of marriageable age suddenly looked at him with warm eyes.

In the past, this guy was an old man with no one to help him. He was also a hunter. After I married him, I couldn't even farm the land.

Hunting is a dangerous job, and the harvest is not that good. Although Lin Qing's character, appearance, and physique are all impeccable, no one wants to marry a girl to him and suffer.

It’s different now. We have two hundred taels of silver. Why should we still farm?

Wouldn't it be better to have a simple family? A girl can be the head of the family after she gets married, and with the money in her hands, her descendants will be guaranteed.

Some impatient people asked immediately: "Qing boy, have you brought your sister and children home?" Are you going to keep them at home or something?

"Yes, I just smelled a delicious scent. I wonder what kind of food Qin Lin is preparing in the house." She must have gotten a lot of good stuff.

Lin Qing listened to the villagers' chattering without showing any impatience. In this Linjia Village, was there any family's food that he had not eaten?

Even if the family seemed stingy and mean on weekdays, when they saw that he was hungry, they would take some food from their own children's mouths and give it to him to fill his stomach.

Although the people in Linjia Village have all kinds of little thoughts, they are just petty because they are used to being poor. None of them has a bad heart.

Otherwise, they would not have raised themselves up just because of a school donated by their deceased grandfather.

He put on a miserable expression and told the whole story of how his second sister was kicked out by the Lin family and almost died:

"My uncles, aunts, and wives all know that my mother had a difficult birth. If it weren't for my second sister who was only 10 years old at the time, I would have been eaten by that family until there was nothing left but bones.

A few days before my sister was married to Qin Lao Er, she was beaten so badly in order to get me away from that den of wolves that her knees were almost broken from kneeling.

The expression on his face became more determined: "I understand what you mean, but even if I, Lin Qing, don't marry and live alone in this life, I will never abandon my sister and the children. Besides,"

He reached out and hugged Qing Sanlang, who had been keeping his head down, and it was unknown what he was thinking: "Nephews are like my own children. When I get old, I still have them to rely on!"

Qin Sanlang almost cried. He didn't expect that his uncle was ready to not get married for their mother. With red eyes, he raised his right hand and swore:

"If I, Qin Sanlang, am not filial to my uncle in the future, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

People in ancient times attached great importance to oaths. When everyone saw that he had sworn an oath, they believed it a little more.

The old village chief came over and patted Lin Qing on the shoulder: "Qing boy, you did the right thing. Your second sister and the children only have you as their only relative now. It is only right that you take better care of them, that is,"

He looked down at the brand new ox cart again, and advised earnestly: "My boy, the world is in chaos now, you should hold on to your money and store more food. Besides, your family has no land, so why did you buy an ox? Is it just for the occasional trip to the city?"

They were not far from the city and could arrive in an hour, but there was really no need to waste the silver.

Of course Lin Qing understood this logic, but the ginseng originally belonged to his second sister, and with the money he earned, he could buy whatever he wanted, of course, although he didn't know what the purpose of doing so was.

He hasn't even mentioned that his family has an ox cart, otherwise the villagers would definitely call him a prodigal.

When the uncle and nephew finally got rid of the enthusiastic villagers and returned to their home, as soon as they entered the yard, they smelled the almost lingering aroma of egg pancakes.

Si Niang and her three little kids couldn't wait to climb onto the ox cart and lift the basket.

Qin Sanlang took out a large oil-paper bag with great interest: "Guess what's in it?"

Several children came over to sniff it, then shook their heads with drooling: "I can't guess."

The most common foods they have eaten since they were young are sweet potatoes and taro. They seldom eat whole-grain cakes, let alone big meat buns. They have only seen people eating them from afar.

When Qin Sanlang opened the oil paper package and saw the plump white bun inside, the three little guys recognized it immediately: "Wow, it's a big meat bun."

Qin Sanlang thought that his younger brothers and sisters would rush to grab the big meat buns when they saw them, but after waiting for a long time, the children did not take the next step.

He was a little puzzled: "Why don't you eat the meat buns?"

Si Niang touched her bulging belly in distress and sighed, "I just ate a lot of egg pancakes. I really don't have room for other food. I'll save the meat buns for dinner."

It was the first time for her to feel what it was like to be full.

Wulang and Balang had the same reaction. If their mother hadn't pressed their stomachs a few times just now, they would have thought they were going to die from overeating!

Qin Sanlang was speechless. How much did you eat? I was worried that you were hungry at home, so I didn't want to eat. But these conscienceless people said that their stomachs almost burst just now?

Lin Qing also went to find her second sister and reported everything she had bought today.

At the same time, I also asked the question in my heart: "Sister, our family has no land, so buying a cow is actually useless."

Lin Sheng tapped the table with his index finger and said slowly, "Because I plan to take you away from here. If the carriage wasn't too conspicuous, I wouldn't want an ox cart either."
