Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

After that, Xiuwen and Xiaobao went back to their normal school schedule. I hired two more people to clean all the rotten sweet potatoes, chop them up and grind them into powder, and dry them in the sun. When I want to make vermicelli in the future, I can take them out and make them anytime.

The good sweet potatoes were stored in the room, so they wouldn't rot in a short time, and they could be dealt with slowly later. But this would make the house look a bit narrower. I took out the wallet and looked at it, and there wasn't much left in it.

Housing is a problem, and Xiuwen and his family also need to solve the problem of schooling. If Xiuwen is sent to the capital to study, it will cost a lot of money. Will Xiaobao go or not? Think about it, there are still many things to do!

Thinking of the piece of Gastrodia elata in the field, I hired a cart, went back to the village and hired Xiu'er and a few others to dig the Gastrodia elata as usual.

Tell Xiu'er that they can't dig this up and it's not a sweet potato. If it gets ruined, there will be a big loss.

Xiuer, seeing how cautious I was, asked me what this was for. I told them that this was a medicinal herb that could be sold for silver.

I didn't intend to hide it from them, and sooner or later, they would know about such things. If they want to plant it, they can plant it.

Xiuer asked me cautiously, "Dalang's wife, can you sell us some seeds? We also want to follow your lead."

Me: "That's fine, but the seeds are quite expensive, 500 coins per pound, and they're not easy to grow, so you should think carefully. I don't have many seeds, so you can try if you want to grow them."

In the village, when the other women heard that the seeds were expensive and difficult to grow, they hesitated and did not mention buying seeds again. Only Xiu'er gritted her teeth and said she would buy two kilograms to try.

At noon, the clan leader called Xiuer and insisted on taking me to have lunch. I couldn't resist, so I followed them. When I came back, I found that there were fewer Gastrodia elatas in the field that I had dug.

Who was it that didn't pay attention when inviting us to dinner and ran away here to pick the ready-made food?

Several people were very angry. Granny Wang's daughter-in-law thought for a moment and said, "Daughter-in-law Dalang, when we went back to have lunch just now, we saw your grandmother coming here. Did she take the Gastrodia elata away when we weren't paying attention? Of course, I'm not sure, so don't think I'm trying to sow discord."

Me: "No sister-in-law, you can tell me, I am already very happy, can we go and have a look now? Then we will know."

I left a few people in the Gastrodia elata field and continued to work. I asked Wang Po Po's wife and Xiu'er to follow me back to the village to see if it was her. I didn't want to provoke others, but I couldn't stand others bothering me all the time!

After working so hard for so long, it was time to harvest, but others reached out to pick their own fruits. I was a little angry and came to Old Man Xiao's house.

The door was closed, and it wouldn't budge when I pushed it. I knocked on the door, and I heard Mrs. Hu's voice from inside the yard: "Who is it?"

Xiu'er responded: "Open the door, it's me, I have something to ask you."

When Mrs. Hu opened the gate and saw that it was me, she wanted to close it again. I pushed the door open and looked into the yard. I didn't see any Gastrodia elata, but there was fresh soil on the ground.

Mrs. Hu liked to hide things at the back of the house. I followed her old habit and turned a corner and took a look at the back. There was a pile of Gastrodia elata at the back of the house.

Xiu'er came over and saw: "Okay, you actually pushed the Gastrodia elata we dug, how could you do that?"

Mrs. Hu: "What did you dig? This is my home. It's mine."

Xiu'er: "We are all from the same village. When did you plant this? How come we didn't know? We just dug up so much less. If it wasn't you who took it, who took it? I only saw you passing by."

Mrs. Hu: "I went there, so what? It's not my Dalang's. So what if I took it? It's also my son's."

I was furious: "Your son's family, don't you know that we are no longer related? When you left, you kicked us out without giving me anything. Now it's your son's family."

Mrs. Hu: "Even if the relationship is severed, you are still a member of the Xiao family. What's wrong with me taking a little?" After saying that, she fell on the horse and couldn't get up.

"Hu, have you guys made enough noise? If not, please go to the government office and make some noise. I'll punish you with dozens of strokes first so you'll learn your lesson. The voice of the head of the village came from behind at this time."

Cough, cough, cough, cough. The sound of old man Xiao coughing came from the room: "Li Zheng, you are here. Come in and sit for a while."

Village head: "Okay, you guys come with us, it's getting more and more outrageous."

Granny Wang's daughter-in-law came over from behind and helped me pack up the Gastrodia elata with Xiu'er and carried it to the front yard.

When Xiu'er and I were arguing with Mrs. Hu, he secretly ran to call the head of the village over. That's why the head of the village came so quickly.

After not seeing each other for a while, old man Xiao must be sick, his eyes were drooping. He asked us to sit down and said weakly: "Daughter-in-law of Dalang, your mother-in-law went to plant something today. Was it her fault? I'm sick, Xiaolang is not feeling well, and your mother-in-law had no choice but to take your things. Can you help us? Don't bother with your mother-in-law. Broken bones are connected by tendons. After all, you are still a member of the Xiao family. Dabao is studying, and it will not be good for his reputation if he makes a fuss."

The old ones are still the best. They are trying to blackmail me morally from a high position. They also pretend to be thinking about us.

People always sympathize with the weak. When the village head and Xiu'er heard this, their eyes softened. The village head turned to me and said, "Da Lang's wife, look, why don't you just forget it!"

I can pretend to be weak, I pinched my thigh with my hand. Tears immediately came out: "Uncle Lizheng, Uncle Xiao, you also know how difficult it is for me, a woman, to raise two children. Dabao and Xiaobao at home rely on this to survive. Do you have the heart to force me to death? We are already separated, how can I have a mother-in-law! You want your land so much, you can grow crops on your own, why do you want to steal mine?"

Old Man Xiao's expression became even gloomier: "We don't have any seeds, do we? If we did, we would definitely win."

Xiu'e came over and said, "Dalang's wife, Dabao and the others still have to take the imperial examinations, so don't make things awkward. It will give you a bad reputation."

Me: "Oh, so you want seeds. If you want seeds, you can buy them from the villagers. I didn't say I won't sell them to you."

Old Man Xiao: "Wife Dalang, isn't this because the family is short of money?"

"It's not easy for us either. But if you really can't take it out, I can give you some on credit and you can give me back when you grow it. But it's only this time. If you take my things without my consent next time, I'll see you at the government office."

The head of the village said, "Okay, of course. I'll give you some seeds. Today, Mrs. Hu will bring these back to Dalang's wife. You have money. Some things can't be overdone, so as not to regret it in the future."

If you just want some seeds, I'm not saying I can't refuse. I just hope...!

Xiu'er and I walked out of the courtyard with Tianma on our backs. I looked back at the wing room on the left and saw Xiaolang glaring at me fiercely. When I looked at him more carefully, he had already lowered his head.

My heart skipped a beat. I have to be more careful next time.
