Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl
Chapter 191 Studying is so expensive
Because Wang Shiyu had never been served by anyone before, the little girl beside her now was assigned to serve her after the two got married. The girl, named Xiaotao, was not very old, only fifteen years old this year. She looked very lively and sensible. Naturally, she didn't know the specific situation of Wang Shiyu's menstrual period, so she didn't discover the things that Wang Shiyu wanted to hide. The main reason was that she had just arrived, and there were many things that she had to discover by herself.
One day, when both of them were in the study, one was embroidering and the other was handling business matters, there was a knock on the study door.
A middle-aged man in a gray robe came in. Wang Shiyu didn't even raise her head and continued to busy herself with her own things. She promised to make a cloak for Yu Xiuming, so she was struggling with the needle and thread. The man in gray just looked at Wang Shiyu quietly, who was busy with his own things, and then told her the reason for her visit.
"Master, didn't you always ask us to keep an eye on those people from the Wang family in Luojia Village? Just last night, someone suddenly appeared in Luojia Village and brutally killed Zhang Xiuli and her two daughters, and then committed suicide on the spot. Our people did not come forward to stop him, and that person committed suicide too quickly, so there was no time to stop him. Their purpose seemed to be to kill Zhang Xiuli and her two daughters."
After hearing this, Wang Shiyu stopped embroidering and stopped sewing. Instead, she was thinking about what this person said and the meaning behind it. Why would someone directly hurt Zhang Xiuli and her daughter? Besides, what kind of trouble could these three women cause?
At the same time, the gray-clothed man paused, looked back again, and the head of the family's wife, who did not move, continued to speak the rest of the information.
"Moreover, the Wang family found the current address of the lady's family on the body of the killer who committed suicide. Wang Yixian seems to have determined that it was the lady's mother who sent people to kill Zhang Xiuli and her two daughters. She is now packing her bags and wants to come to Jizhou City to seek revenge.
We traced the assassin's route and found that he came from Jinling City.
At the same time... a message came from somewhere saying that the madam's mother had a lot of money, and that the money was in the mezzanine of the cabinet in the house..."
After the gray-clothed man finished speaking, he immediately left the study. At this time, Yu Xiuming stood up and came to Wang Shiyu's side, holding Wang Shiyu's shoulders. He didn't know whether Mo Ruru had money, but the story was quite true, especially the death of Zhang Xiuli and her daughter, which seemed not simple.
"It's okay. If you're worried about mother, we might as well bring her here to live for a while. The security here is tight. A mere Wang Yixian can't come in and cause trouble. As for the rumor that mother is rich, it's probably just a rumor."
Looking at Yu Xiuming beside her, who was looking at her worriedly, Wang Shiyu twitched the corners of her mouth, but finally did not laugh and shook her head.
"I'm afraid this matter is coming directly at us. Even if we hide, how long can we hide?
This person actually has my home address, and he must also know my current address. No matter how well I hide my mother, the person behind this will definitely not give up. So even if he comes here and doesn't find us, that person will give him a new address and let him come to our house.
Besides, it is better to open up than to block. I want to see what the person behind this is trying to do. My mother's money is indeed kept in the interlayer of the cabinet. It has never been moved in these years. Not many people know about it."
Wang Shiyu has now given up the idea of hiding any further. At the same time, both of them have some guesses about this person.
The only people who got out of Jinling City, besides Zhou Qingyun, were the Regent and his wife. The Regent and his wife only wanted to kill all the people in the Wang family. It was impossible for them to kill only Zhang Xiuli and then transfer the hatred to them. After all, for the Regent, it was better to let a useless child die so as not to embarrass him.
So the person who could do this was Zhou Qingyun, who has been very busy recently. I don't know how he found the time to plot against Wang Shiyu. He even gave Wang Yixin direct instructions. It was so disgusting. If the emperor's children were not all good-for-nothings, Wang Shiyu would have thought of replacing him.
In fact, Zhou Qingyun had almost forgotten about Wang Shiyu's matter. After all, he was too busy recently. However, the monthly report made him suddenly remember that there was something about Wang Shiyu.
Zhou Qingyun knew that Wang Shiyu and Yu Xiuming were married, and he was in a bad mood because the Wang family was in trouble. However, he was still curious about what the old man had not finished saying, so he sent someone to Zhang Xiuli to deal with it, and at the same time left the address of Wang Shiyu's mother to Wang Yixian.
In fact, at this time, Wang Yixian had no interest in his wife's life or death. Instead, he knew that Mo Ruru and the others were living a very comfortable life and could also earn money to support their family, so he wanted to come here. They were so tired during this period of time that they had lost their original arrogance.
The brothers Wang Yixian and Wang Yizhuo simply did not want to continue living such a hard life. After they returned to Luojia Village, they had no land, so they had to do heavy work. They even had to carry heavy bags every day and were exhausted.
That's how it is. They can't earn much money a day, and they have to support Wang Shiyi to study. This leads to not only a tight budget, but they can't even afford to eat more meat. Moreover, after knowing that Mo Ruru and the others might be living very well, they decided to find this woman. If possible, it would be great if Wang Shiyi could be handed over to Mo Ruru to raise.
Just when the Wang brothers had set out to this side, Wang Shiyu and Yu Xiuming went straight down the mountain and returned home. They told Mo Ruru about the Wang brothers, and also told them that someone had killed Zhang Xiuli and wanted to directly frame the three of them, mother and daughter. So Mo Ruru was very indifferent about the Wang brothers coming. If they wanted to come, they could come. She couldn't control them anyway. Besides, she was still very poor, and that little money was not enough for little Ruirui to go to school.
Ever since her daughter got married and left home, she began to control the family's financial power, and she knew that the daily expenses were not small.
Even the simple necessities of life are not small expenses. If she were to rely on herself alone to earn money, she would not be able to support the family.
It was difficult for her to pay the three or two taels of salary that Aunt Niu gave her every month, not to mention the money needed for little Ruirui's studies. Books were a small amount of money, and the most important thing was writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
Wang Shiyu has never neglected little Ruirui's studies and calligraphy over the years, so the pens, ink, paper and inkstone she uses are the best in Jizhou City. She spends around a hundred taels of silver every time, and never less. Even if there are any new books, Wang Shiyu will buy them directly. Even if she can't use them now, little Ruirui can read them when he grows up.
Even Mr. Liu was sometimes too lazy to go to the bookstore and would just come to the Mo family to find out what new books the bookstore had published, because the books on the bookshelf in Xiao Ruirui's room were all replaced by Wang Shiyu every month.
Since the beginning of this month, Xiao Ruirui was running out of rice paper, so she went directly to the shop where Wang Shiyu usually bought her pens, ink, paper and inkstone. After asking around, she found out that the three thousand taels of silver notes left by Wang Shiyu could only allow Xiao Ruirui to study seriously for two years. So how much money did he spend over the years?
Even when she was paying, she felt her heart trembling. It was really too expensive. How could this thing be so expensive? Just one piece of paper cost five taels of silver. Ruirui used at least ten pieces a month. The ink was all top-quality rosin ink, and one piece cost thirty taels, not to mention the pens, which were all top-quality wolf-hair pens. She went to the shop once and spent more than one hundred taels. She was completely overwhelmed.
