Chapter 227 Accept this family
If their house suddenly becomes better, it will definitely attract other people's attention, rather than looking for other places that are not familiar at all.
It would be better to follow Liu Caixia. After all, after this conversation, the old lady knows people.
"Old lady, you trust me so much!"
When the old lady heard Liu Caixia say this, she knew that this matter would most likely be successful.
"Madam, I am fifty-eight this year. I have long passed the age of knowing my fate and will soon enter my sixties. I can't say that I am good at judging people, but I rarely make mistakes. As for the concubine my eldest son married, I could tell at first sight that she was not a good person. I am not a mean person. At that time, our family was well off, so as long as she didn't do anything naughty, I didn't care too much.
What a pity, I really regret it now. Sometimes I tend to be soft-hearted when I get older. If I were a few years younger, I would never let her in.
Oh, we've gone too far. Why are we going back to the past? Madam, my vision is not wrong. My life will be good with you. As long as I can watch Yao'er and Wan'er get married in peace, I will be satisfied. "
"Hahahaha... Old lady, your good days are still ahead of you."
Liu Caixia really thought that this old lady was a wonderful person. The people she bought were also good, but they were not as insightful as this old lady. Helping them now would not be a loss in the future.
Li Yao looked at his grandmother and Liu Caixia, and could feel that they were really laughing, so he laughed too. As he was laughing, his stomach growled, and he covered his stomach in embarrassment, took a bowl next to the fire, poured a glass of water from a pottery jar, and gulped it down.
Liu Caixia took out a cake from her bag and handed it to the old lady: "Auntie, you guys eat first, then pack up and follow us. We'll go to the city to pawn your bracelet first, and then go get medicine. I have other things to do in the afternoon. Don't waste your time."
The old lady divided the pancake into three portions, gave the smaller one to the little girl, the larger one to Li Yao, and ate the medium-sized piece herself.
"Grandma, you eat the big one. I don't eat much." Li Yao wanted to exchange a piece of cake with his grandma.
"Eat quickly, you are the man of our family, and grandma and sister will depend on you in the future."
"Wan'er, eat quickly."
"Hmm..." Li Wan'er took a bite of the pancake. The pancake that Liu Caixia gave her was added with chopped green onions and pork. It was not so dry and had a hint of oily aroma when eaten.
"Grandma, the pancakes are delicious."
Li Yao also took a bite of the pancake. Although he had eaten much more delicious food than this since he was a child, his food had been getting worse and worse in the past six months. He had even forgotten what it tasted like the last time he had eaten something this delicious.
The three of them ate the biscuits in small bites. Although they had experienced hardships, they still kept the habits engraved in their bones. Even in such a hungry situation, they still kept some rules.
After eating, the old lady said, "Yao'er, just pack up and we'll leave. If you don't want some things, just leave them here for those in need."
"Grandma, I understand."
The old lady also packed a small bag and took one last look at the straw hut where she had lived for more than two months. She sighed deeply and said, "Madam, let's go."
"Let's go!"
Liu Caixia led her people to leave the shantytown. When they left, people from two straw huts not far away poked their heads out to see what was happening outside. Envy could be seen in their eyes, envy that someone was taking them away from here.
Liu Caixia first brought people to the city. She was not in a hurry to eat or buy things, but went to the pawnshop first. When she arrived at the door of the pawnshop, she said, "Old lady, are you sure you want to pawn this bracelet? I can lend you some money first."
"Madam, please help me to take care of it. I was stubborn before and made the children suffer so much. If something happens to the children, what's the point of keeping the bracelet?
I have made up my mind, so I ask you to help me die. I believe Yaoer will have his own heirlooms in the future, and I will also prepare a dowry for Waner. "
"Okay, then you wait for me outside. Yao'er, come in with me."
Although Li Yao was wearing tattered clothes, no one could see that he was just a child. The old lady was afraid that the people in the pawnshop might think something when she went in, and it would be bad to lower the price.
Finally, after some bargaining by Liu Caixia, the bracelet was pawned for forty-eight taels.
The market has not been very good in the past two years, with natural disasters occurring one after another. Now everyone is in the stage of recovery, and the prices of items such as jewelry, which are usually considered luxury goods, are naturally not that high.
After that, Liu Caixia bought a set of second-hand cotton coats and trousers for the family at the pawnshop, and chose clothes that looked relatively clean and tidy. What they were wearing was too thin, and it was conceivable that their family must have sold their cotton coats before.
First buy them a second-hand suit, then buy some cloth when you go out, and then make a new suit for each of them. After all, you should save as much as you can, as this money is all the old lady's property.
Li Yao changed directly into the cotton-padded jacket he had bought. His previous cotton-padded jacket was already extremely tattered, with patches all over it. The threads used for sewing were not all the same color, not to mention the color of the patches. No one knew where the fabric was picked up from.
When Li Yao changed into his cotton-padded clothes, Liu Caixia said, "I'll go call your grandmother and sister in, and use the cover of the pawnshop to change them all."
The three of them changed into second-hand cotton-padded clothes and trousers and walked out of the pawnshop. They could feel their bodies straightened up a lot.
"Madam, thank you so much. You haven't eaten yet, I think. I'll treat you to something."
Liu Caixia did not refuse, as she had been thinking of taking them out for lunch.
We found a food restaurant that was not of a normal standard but was not a roadside stall. We ordered fried rice and a few dishes, and sat down to wait for the food to be served.
The old lady said: "Madam, what do you want Yaoer to do for you? If possible, I still want him to read more books. The teachers who taught him before said that he is very knowledgeable and is a good seedling. If he can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, it will definitely be a greater help to you, Madam."
Liu Caixia nodded. As expected of an old lady, her speech was so logical. She wanted her grandson to go to school, but she didn't want Liu Caixia to be unhappy.
"There will be no problem with his education. All our children will go to school. He is very smart. If he is not doing manual labor, he will be responsible for gathering information for us. Besides, our family will also do business in the future. I wanted to hire him before because I wanted to invest in him for the long term, not to ask him to work for me right now. Don't worry, I will definitely not let him do anything that is harmful to others."
Liu Caixia had originally planned to find some younger children, either by buying or investing. They were not young anymore, and they always had to make plans for their children, especially since she only had one daughter.
"Madam, don't worry. Our Yao'er is not the kind of ungrateful person. If he has a promising future, he will never forget your kindness. If he does something treacherous and ungrateful like that, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
"Grandma, don't worry. When Madam said she was going to take us away, I swore silently in my heart that I would definitely repay Madam in the future."
"You have to remember this, kid."
