Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!
Chapter 5: The Explosive Mother-in-Law
The two men approached the main house and wanted to knock on the door.
Suddenly a young lady came out to use the restroom and saw two figures and screamed, "Ghost!!!!"
Everyone in the house was awakened. Lu Ce quickly tore off his clothes and covered the faces of the two men tightly when the candlelight in the house was lit.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Qiu cried to the alert crowd, "Uncle and aunt, I'm really sorry to bother you. Our hometown has encountered a disaster, and our child has a fever. Now we can't go to the city, so we can only seek your help. But don't worry, we are not thieves. Look, I have silver. Please give us some medicine to treat the child's fever, okay?"
She cried so hard that tears came out.
A mother who is afraid of losing her child.
Lu Ce lowered his head, looking depressed and sad.
The old man in the family didn't think Jiang Qiu was a bad person when he looked at him. It was mainly because of the silver, which was very beautiful.
Thinking that his eldest grandson had a fever recently and had similar medicinal materials, and that his children needed money for schooling, and that they were able to break in and were willing to give money, it was obvious that they were not vicious people. He discussed it with his son and decided to seek wealth and honor through risk.
"We have herbs for fever, but nothing else."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the child can live, both my husband and I can die." Jiang Qiu wiped away her tears.
Lu Ce nodded in agreement.
The old woman couldn't bear to hear this, and she didn't want to take advantage of them, so she asked, "Shall I prepare some dry food for you?"
"Thank you, you are such a kind person." Jiang Qiu bowed repeatedly, and finally said embarrassedly: "Could you please boil some herbs for us, and give us some cloth to pack our dry food?"
Seeing that the girl was about to suffer an unexpected disaster at such a young age, the old woman agreed.
Jiang Qiu also obediently handed over the silver.
It’s exactly five taels, a small silver ingot!
Meat hurts.
When they returned to where everyone was sleeping, they saw Qian waiting for them with her eyes drooping. Seeing them come back, her heart, which had been hanging high in her heart, finally settled down. "Ace, Qiu Niang, I'm glad you're all right."
Lu Ce: "It's easy to be discovered if you cry now."
The tears that were hanging in Qian's eyes were taken back. "Okay, I will cry secretly tomorrow. Have you found Yao'er's medicine?"
"Found it. I'll take the child over to drink."
The smell of Chinese medicine is too strong, and Lu Ce was afraid that others would smell it and cause unnecessary trouble.
"Okay." Qian gave the child to them.
The two went to feed the child medicine. Lu Ce had researched medicine and knew that this medicine had no harmful effects. As for whether the child could get better, it depended on Lu Xiaoyao's fate.
The child is very well behaved and doesn't cry or make a fuss.
Maybe his health was too poor, he didn't even react to the bitter medicine. Jiang Qiu frowned: "The child is short of food."
"Ah."
Lu Ce didn’t think too much about it before.
He didn't want to care about anything during his exile. When he heard that his father and brother were dead, he wanted to go with them.
He also could not accept that he, who was once high and mighty, was demoted to a commoner and could only settle in Qiongzhou in the future.
In the past half month, he has spoken no more than ten sentences.
Jiang Qiu kept talking today, which made him talk a lot more and not as numb as before.
Now that his father and brother are gone, as a man, he has to take on the responsibility of supporting his family.
After pouring the medicine into the child's mouth, Jiang Qiu packed the dry food and gold and silver on the child and carried him away.
She had just counted them, and there were five bars of gold in total.
Excluding the silver just given to the farmers, there is still seventy taels of silver.
It is equivalent to fifty taels of gold and seventy taels of silver. With this money, everyone can live a good life in the future.
Jiang Qiu didn't have the mentality of thinking she was great just because she was a time traveler. She studied gastronomy and only knew how to cook. She didn't know how to farm. Moreover, in ancient times, unless you had great martial arts skills, it was impossible to survive alone. So when she first traveled through time, she decided to stay with the Lu family for a while before making any other decisions.
"Is it heavy?" Lu Ce asked her.
It is indeed possible to put the gold, silver and food on Yaoer. According to the standard of sixteen taels per catty, the gold and silver would weigh eight or nine catties. Add on Yaoer's five catties, and it would weigh more than twenty catties to carry her.
"For the money, I can!"
Jiang Qiu had a fearless expression.
"Tell me if it's too heavy."
"I know."
Jiang Qiu knew that she was vulgar, but the money was too much and she felt safe only when she had money.
The three returned to their original positions and took a nap.
When it was daybreak, the officials called everyone to get white porridge. There were only a few grains of rice in a bowl of porridge, and it was the worst kind of brown rice. It was basically hanging on to everyone's lives with water.
But everyone still lined up to get porridge.
Qian looked at Yao'er who hadn't woken up yet, and was worried: "Is Yao'er okay?"
"It's okay!" Jiang Qiu said.
"Really?" Qian felt that Qiu Niang had become much stronger since she woke up.
"Yes." Jiang Qiu said firmly.
"That's great." Qian smiled for the first time in more than ten days. "Qiuniang, how did you know?"
"Observe the celestial phenomena." Jiang Qiu talked nonsense seriously.
Qian's smile gradually disappeared.
Dai Hongmei's laughter could be heard from behind: "God will definitely not take this child away. Whose child is so lucky? On the first day of his birth, his parents and grandfather died, and the entire family was implicated. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I think, even if God falls, he will live well."
Qian was so angry that her eyes turned red and she was wavering in her heart. Is Yao'er really her nemesis?
The first day he was born was a time when his family experienced tremendous changes.
As a materialist, Jiang Qiu rolled his eyes at Dai Hongmei and said, "How funny! When you encounter problems, you either blame them on the children, women, or people you can bully. You never investigate the reasons. Don't you know why your family was confiscated?"
"We are not as clear as you direct descendants. As a side branch, we usually get to enjoy the benefits from you, but in the end we have to suffer and be at the forefront. If your family had not chosen the wrong side, we would not have ended up in such a situation. You are even a general, but I think you are just a reckless and arbitrary warrior!" Dai Hongmei roared, with veins bulging on her forehead.
She hasn't taken a bath for half a month.
The whole person is like a savage.
All this is thanks to the direct lineage!!
Just as Jiang Qiu was about to speak, the weak Qian burst out: "The General's Mansion was built by my husband who was deeply involved in the battlefield many times. When he returned home, he even said that if he encountered a disaster, you would suffer with him. But you still resolutely came!"
"You have enjoyed wealth and glory for the past twenty years. Now that you are in exile, you still have a lot of money on you. You haven't lost much weight. When you go to Qiongzhou, according to your money, you can live better than ordinary people."
"At best, you can just go back to your old life. How have we ever owed you anything?"
"My husband was abused when he was young, and when he grew up, he was sent into exile by you. From a nobody to a great general, he risked his life for the people time and time again, and recaptured dozens of cities. In the last battle, he would rather die than surrender, and never humiliated the men of Daqi. He is a hero and the patron saint of the people."
"You have no right to talk about him!"
