Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 11: Announcement of funeral arrangements
Wake up Xiao Qiu Sheng, make him go to the toilet to relieve himself and wash his hands, bring a toilet to his brother, and force him to solve his personal problems in the room.
After opening the window for some fresh air, Song Jinxiu pretended to go out for a walk, then returned with some steamed buns and vegetable pancakes from her space. The four siblings began to eat dinner.
Looking at the buns in his hand and then at the vegetable pancake, Song Chunsheng frowned.
My little sister still doesn't know how to live. Although these buns and vegetable cakes are delicious, they are expensive, aren't they?
This bun has meat filling and costs three cents each.
Three coins could buy three white flour buns, six steamed buns made with wild vegetables and mixed grains, and half a pound of sorghum rice.
"Let's buy some sorghum rice tomorrow and cook some porridge for ourselves."
Half a pound is enough for them to have a full meal for a day.
This time it was Song Jinxiu's turn to frown.
Sorghum rice porridge is okay to drink occasionally, but who can stand drinking it every day?
No matter how long she simmered it, her throat would still be hoarse. After drinking a large bowl, she would feel full at the time, but would soon be hungry again. She used to wake up in the middle of the night almost every time because of hunger.
Song Jinxiu said, "Brother, we don't need this bite of food now. If you want your leg to heal quickly, you need to nourish it. We need to eat better."
"Xiu'er, I know you have some money now, but fifty taels may seem like a lot, but it's not enough to spend. Besides, I want to discuss something with you."
Fifty taels?
Song Jinxiu blinked, it seemed that her brother had also misunderstood.
She glanced at her sister again.
One said five hundred wen, the other said fifty taels. There is a big difference in their understanding!
Thinking of Brother Fuquan, I wonder what that kid would think?
Song Jinxiu looked at her palm.
Could it be five taels?
Don’t say it, Song Jinxiu really told the truth.
Song Jinxiu couldn't think of how to explain why she had exchanged her silver bowl, silver spoon, and silver chopsticks for a crystal ball. She also couldn't explain why she had used the crystal ball as a pawn for five hundred taels.
Or one lie after another?
The treasure given by the immortal can be used to deceive Goat Beard or an ignorant little girl without any intention. But if I tell my brother about it, I don’t know if he will believe it?
If he didn't believe her and asked her about the whole thing, how many lies would she have to tell to make up for it?
Before Song Jinxiu could figure out how to explain, she heard Song Chunsheng say, "Originally, that was your own private money and should have been kept for your dowry. If my legs were good, I would definitely not want it, really.
But now...
I want to discuss with you, can you use the money to buy two acres of land first?"
Song Jinxiu was stared at by her brother's long-awaited eyes and nodded.
She must buy land, she also wants to buy a big manor!
Seeing his sister nod without hesitation, Song Chunsheng smiled with relief.
He continued, "After you buy the land, keep ten taels for your dowry and five taels for my younger sister. Save the rest, and perhaps you can find me a wife."
Song Jinxiu opened her mouth in surprise.
Song Chunsheng said with some shame: "Saya, Jinxiu, you are the eldest sister, so I have to let you suffer the loss."
Song Jinxiu was a little confused.
Young man, are you thinking a little too far ahead?
How old are you and you're already thinking about him getting married and having children?
Song Chunsheng continued to ramble: "You are the eldest sister, you must learn to be frugal and manage the household. You are all still young, so even if you have money, you must hide it and not let others know, understand?
You did a great job before. That bowl sat there for so long without anyone noticing it. Very good. Do the same next time and keep the silver safe.
Two acres of land is enough to feed you if you work hard and eat frugally.
If you don’t understand something, just ask Aunt Cuihua. Although Aunt Cuihua is a bit talkative, she is also very kind-hearted.
If someone bullies you, just shout loudly and go find the village head. The village head is a good man.
Don’t bother others all the time. If you do it too often, they will get annoyed…”
Song Chunsheng kept chattering, saying whatever came to his mind.
The more Song Jinxiu listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
What does this mean, brother?
Leave a last word?
"Brother, isn't this something you should be in charge of? With you here, we have nothing to fear."
Song Chunsheng smiled bitterly. "I don't know if my leg can be healed. I think it's better not to amputate it. Twenty taels is too much. If it can't be cured, then the money will be wasted, right?"
Besides, my body and hair are inherited from my parents. I also want to have a complete body.
Hey, don't worry. If, I mean if, if anything happens to me, San Ya, our family will have to rely on you. No matter what, you have to raise Wu Ya and my younger brother to adulthood."
It turned out to be a last will and testament.
Song Jinxiu held her forehead with her hand.
"Brother, isn't it just one leg? If we can save him, we can stand up on two legs. If we can't save him, we can live on one leg.
Twenty taels is nothing. As long as my brother can get better, we are willing to spend it.
As for our bodies and hair, they are given by our parents, so there is nothing we can do about it, right? As long as we are alive, that is the best way to repay our mothers.
Don’t be sad, brother. What’s wrong with losing a leg?
Isn’t there a one-armed hero who travels the world with ease? If that doesn’t work, we can also be one-legged heroes and start a new life in a wheelchair.”
Song Chunsheng: ...
What kind of sister is this? Can she comfort people?
Isn't it just a leg?
That's a leg, not a toe. How easy it is to say that. What's wrong with missing a leg? Why is she talking like she's drinking cold water?
And what about the one-armed hero, the one-legged hero, what a mess!
But he could also see that his elder sister was a carefree person.
Look at my younger sister and younger brother’s still red and swollen eyes.
Forget it, being generous has its advantages. When I really pass away, my elder sister won't just cry like these two younger ones.
But imagine if I died, and my sister still said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? It's just a life, right? I'm dead, I'm dead."
Well, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Song Chunsheng simply kept silent and focused on eating the buns.
Seeing that her brother was silent, Song Jinxiu felt it was necessary to let him know that their family was indeed not short of money. Don't just think about it all day long and die for twenty taels.
Song Jinxiu leaned close to her brother's ear and whispered, "Well, brother, actually, I not only pawned the silver bowl, but also something else. I didn't pawn it for fifty taels, but five hundred taels."
Song Jinxiu stretched out another hand and shook it.
"Burp, burp," Song Chunsheng choked after swallowing a bun.
Yes, they are really siblings. They stretch their necks and stare when they hiccup.
Song Jinxiu quickly brought him a bowl of water.
Song Jinfang covered her mouth and laughed.
It turns out that my brother can also be scared.
Xiao Qiu Sheng didn't understand what was going on. Seeing his second sister covering her mouth, he covered his mouth too.
Song Chunsheng drank two sips of water and finally recovered.
He stopped eating the buns, grabbed his sister's hand, and asked repeatedly:
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you? What on earth did you pawn that's worth so much money?
"Don't lie to me, okay? Those people in the pawnshop are all very cunning. If they knew they were cheated, we couldn't afford to offend them."
"Oh, brother, am I the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter?"
Song Jinxiu slapped her brother's hand away. The child's hand was so strong that it hurt her.
"I exchanged it for that pearl ginseng. That ginseng was very old and saved the family's life. They gave me a silver bowl and a crystal ball. I didn't expect the crystal ball to be so valuable."
"So, brother, don't overthink it. Even if you only have one leg left, our family can still support you.
Besides, maybe the swelling in your leg will go down tomorrow, so you can re-set the bone. In a few days, you'll be able to stand up again.
Stop being such a sentimental woman."
