Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Wang Shiyu was not a child who had just arrived here. She understood how expensive medicine was at that time. A single dose of those bitter medicinal soups would cost several taels of silver.

But her mother's condition was not suitable for pregnancy, especially after the long journey. She did not get a full rest after arriving in Qiongdao and just went to work. It was really a blessing for her mother to be pregnant with this child. Now looking at her mother's attitude, she will definitely keep the child. I can only prescribe some tonic to nourish her mother.

Mo Ru Ru touched Wang Shiyu's hair with a smile, her eyes showing some sadness and some relief. She felt that her love for this daughter was not in vain.

"Okay, mother knows. Mother will buy some tonics. When the time comes, just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to protect the pregnancy and nourish the body. You don't need to buy too much. Mother is pregnant now, so she can't take too much. Your grandfather gave us 100 taels of silver to live for a year. This amount of money is not enough to live in Jizhou City, so we should save some things. We still have to save a little."

Looking at his own one hundred taels of silver, and then looking at the one hundred and fifty taels of silver that the old man gave to Zhou Qingyun for private tutoring, the difference is obvious at a glance; there is really no comparison.

He even gave Zhou Qingyun another 100 taels of silver in private so that he could buy some better pens, ink, paper and inkstone. How could the old man not know the expenses in Jizhou City?

They were worried that Zhou Qingyun would be treated harshly, and also worried that they would run out of money and have to eat coarse food, so they let Zhou Qingyun keep the money for herself, and when she was hungry, she could go out and have a good meal, and she wouldn't need to worry about the mother and daughter.

Although Zhou Qingyun felt a little strange, he agreed to his grandfather's request. However, he turned around and gave the one hundred taels of silver to Wang Shiyu and asked her to keep it. After all, he had already decided not to go out unless necessary.

Zhou Qingyun was not an ungrateful person. He naturally knew that the old man seemed to have some purpose towards him, otherwise he would not be so nice to him.

But it is really wrong to treat his pregnant daughter-in-law and granddaughter like this. He has no way to go out now, and giving the money to Wang Shiyu is the best option. It can even indirectly please Mo Ru Ru and her daughter. You know, he has not spent this time in vain. He knows that although Wang Shiyu is not very old, she is very calculating and has even thought about the consequences of his exposure.

So his one hundred taels of silver was considered a surrender, since he couldn't spend it anyway.

After watching the mother and daughter leave, Zhou Qingyun took a wooden basin to the well and started to fetch water, intending to wipe the dust in the house. No one had lived here for some time, and he would not be able to rest if he didn't clean up.

Wang Shiyu remembered that she still had some money in her hand. After all, this was Zhou Qingyun's first step towards being honest with her.

"Mom, Grandpa gave Zhou Qingyun 100 taels of silver privately. When he left just now, Zhou Qingyun gave me the money directly. I plan to keep 50 taels to buy him pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and the rest of the money will be enough to buy some food to improve our lives. Don't treat yourself badly. Even if the money is not enough, your daughter will find a way. We living people will not be suffocated to death by the world."

Wang Shiyu inadvertently looked up and saw the sadness in Mo Ruru's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she closed her eyes in silence. Then she opened her eyes and continued to talk with a smile on her face, and she also sold Zhou Qingyun out.

Mo Ru Ru chuckled. It was good for her daughter to have some money. If something happened to her and she couldn't go home in time, or if something happened, the two children wouldn't starve at home. Xiao Yu was a good child who had a plan in mind and would arrange the lives of the two of them.

"That's good. Let's go buy sauces and salt first, and then go buy cloth and cotton. I heard from the people here that the winter here is not cold, but the wind is biting. In winter, we need to buy some coal and firewood to burn at home, otherwise the house will be too cold to bear. It's different here from the north. There are no pankangs here, so we can only rely on firewood for heating. They also said that the cold wave here will be particularly severe, so we must stock up enough firewood."

Mo Ru Ru was thinking about her future life, so she slowly talked to Wang Shiyu on the way. She never wanted to hide her future plans from her daughter. No matter what her child became, she was still her daughter, and she would not abandon the child inexplicably like the old man did.

She saw Wang Shiyu's expression when she looked up just now, and she guessed that the emotions in her eyes were also seen by the child. She also understood what Wang Shiyu was thinking just now. This is a smart child. No matter what happened, she is still her daughter based on the affection she has given to escorting her and her husband all the way.
