A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

Chapter 29 Is there something wrong with my third brother?

"Really?"

The smile on Wang's face deepened!

It would be good to sell it for silver! In her opinion, ginseng should be worth some money. Even if she bought so many things, there would still be a few dozen taels left, right?

Before she got married, a young daughter-in-law in a family in their village suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth. They were told that she had to use ginseng to keep her alive. The family was wealthy, so they generously bought a few slices of ginseng for the daughter-in-law who was giving birth.

I heard that just those few pieces of ginseng cost several taels of silver!

Tian Xiaoman was also very happy, "Mom, of course it's real, it's realer than real gold!"

Hearing the little girl's joking words, Wang slapped her lightly on the back.

"You kid, now you know how to tease your mother! Hurry up, there is already some water on the table in the main room for you, you two can sit down and have a drink and take a rest."

The father and daughter were very obedient. They sat in the main room and each drank a bowl of cold boiled water.

After drinking a bowl of water, Tian Xiaoman felt relaxed all over.

She did not go back to the house to rest, but sat in a chair in the main room with a smile on her face, watching her mother fiddling with the things she had bought, exclaiming one after another.

"Hey! You bought these cottons?"

"Oh, you bought fine cotton cloth? What a waste of money! Just buy coarse cloth!"

"Hey! Why did you buy so much lard? And so much salt? Is this pastry from the one on Suzaku Street? It smells so good!"

Wang did not forget to take out a piece of mung bean cake and stuff it into the little girl's mouth.

"Come on, Lao Si, have a bite. Since you've already bought some cakes, why didn't you and your father fill your stomachs on the way?"

Even after everything was packed up by Wang, she was still very excited!

When she came out again, she was already exhausted and out of breath.

"Hey, how come you two bought so many things at once? What a waste of money! We can buy more coarse salt when we run out of it at home. And what about the big bones? We might as well buy some fat meat with that money and stew it in a big pot."

Tian Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although she had been here for a short time, she also discovered that the villagers in Tianjia Village liked to eat fatty meat. As for lean meat, everyone disliked it because it was difficult to chew when cooking. And people didn't eat those big bones much, always thinking that there was not much oil in them, so it was better to buy some meat.

"Mom, big bones are nutritious. They are delicious when boiled into soup, whether you use the soup to make porridge or add some cabbage. Drinking more is good for your health!"

Wang was helpless. "Yes, yes, yes. Whatever our fourth son said makes sense. Let's listen to my little girl. We'll use this big bone to make soup tonight. It just so happens that there are some small cabbage seeds that we sowed earlier in the vegetable garden behind us. Now we can pick them and eat them. Putting them in the bone soup can also satisfy our cravings."

Seeing Wang drink a bowl of water and sit down, Tian Danian took out the remaining silver from his pocket.

"Wife, this is the silver ingot from selling ginseng. I give it to you for safekeeping."

Wang's face lit up with joy, "How much?"

Tian Danian: "There are still more than twenty taels of silver left! Silver——"

"More than twenty taels?"

Tian Danian was confused. He hadn't even finished speaking yet. Wasn't his wife too impatient?

"That ginseng sold for so much silver? After buying so many things, there are still more than twenty taels left!"

Wang was so happy that her hands holding the silver became a little unsteady.

This is more than twenty taels of silver. Even if their family does not eat or drink, it would take them eight or ten years to save up this much money.

Wang picked up a ten-liang silver ingot, brought it to her mouth and bit it hard.

It was not until two shallow teeth marks were left on the silver ingot that Wang believed that all this was true.

"Dad, this is the first time I've seen such a big silver ingot in my life! It's real! A real silver ingot!"

Tian Xiaoman held his forehead and said, "Oh my god, I don't know how many people have handled that silver ingot, and how could you have the heart to take it!"

However, my mother is happy and can understand it.

In fact, Tian Xiaoman was also happy in his heart. If he were still the original Tian Xiaoman, he would probably go up and take a bite.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaoman smiled even more mysteriously, "Mom, this is just the beginning--"

Hmm? Wang looked at her man in confusion.

Tian Danian laughed and took out two hundred-liang silver notes from his arms and put them directly on the table in the main room.

With a "pop" sound, Wang's ears went numb.

"Dad, what is this?"

Wang picked up the banknote and opened it. She saw a lot of words written on the two pieces of paper and a red stamp at the end.

Wang was illiterate and couldn't understand what was written on it.

"Wife, this is a banknote I got from selling ginseng."

"What? Silver bills?"

Wang raised her voice in disbelief and asked Tian Danian for confirmation.

Tian Danian smiled and looked at his wife lovingly, then nodded heavily.

"Yes, it's a silver note, one hundred taels each, two notes worth two hundred taels in total."

Wang's hands were shaking and she held the banknotes tightly in her hand.

"The child's father..." Wang was a little excited, and her words trembled a little, "You mean to say that these two silver notes of one hundred taels are all ours?"

Tian Danian nodded, "Yes, it's all ours. The ginseng was sold for a total of 230 taels. My daughter and I bought some things, and the rest of the money is here. It's all ours."

Tian Danian thought his wife would jump for joy, but Wang's demeanor suddenly changed. The smile that was about to reach her ears immediately turned into a whimper, and she actually started crying with excitement.

Tian Xiaoman: Uh, mom, are you giving us a real-life version of crying tears of joy?

"Dad, I never thought that our family could have so much money—"

Wang turned to Tian Xiaoman and said, "Old Four, you are a great contributor to our family. Not only will I make bone soup for you tonight, I will also make braised pork for you using the pork belly you bought."

Seeing his daughter-in-law so excited, Tian Danian stood up and walked over, helping to whisper to her along her back, telling her not to get excited and that her health was more important.

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open and Tian Mutou came in.

"Dad, little sister, you're back!"

Wang, who was very emotional just now, looked at her husband. Both of them frowned at the same time, and they had a bad premonition at the same time.

Sure enough, Tian Mutou saw the silver on the table in the main hall at a glance, and his eyes immediately lit up!

"Dad, that ginseng sold for so much silver!"

Then, Tian Mutou came trotting over, picked up a silver ingot, and took a bite!

Tian Xiaoman: This movement, this speed, this expression, it seems familiar!

Tian Mutou was not satisfied after biting one silver ingot, so he picked up another one and bit it without any disgust.

Then, he sat down at the table and began to count the scattered copper coins on the table.

this--

It was the first time that Tian Xiaoman saw Tian Mutou like this. Tian Mutou looked excited, "One cent, two cents, three cents, four cents——"

Is this counted?

Tian Xiaoman looked at his parents, and was a little confused when he saw their helpless and speechless expressions.

"Dad, mother——"

Wang had no choice but to hide the two banknotes without her youngest son noticing.

"Your third brother is good in every way, but he has some minor flaws—"

Tian Xiaoman was puzzled, "My third brother is sick? What's wrong with him?"

Tian Danian patted his little girl on the back and pointed at his son who was already enjoying counting the silver coins. "You figure it out yourself."

Ok?

Tian Xiaoman was even more confused, but when she saw her third brother counting the hundreds of copper coins for the umpteenth time, she understood what her father meant.

It seems that my third brother is indeed ill, and it is not a minor one.
