I went to the safe and looked through it. I found three cards and several bundles of banknotes. Even if there were millions of dollars in the cards, they were useless here.

I have a few platinum chains, but unfortunately they are not made of silver. I don’t know if I can exchange them for money.

Suddenly, Song Jinxiu remembered that she had several sets of silver tableware.

She hurried into the kitchen and opened the cupboard. Sure enough, the three sets of silver cutlery were still in their packaging boxes.

Silver bowls, silver spoons, and silver chopsticks. The silver bowls have beautiful patterns. You should be able to exchange them for some money at a pawnshop or a silver shop. If that doesn't work, you can just mince them and use them as silver.

As for how to explain it?

I won't explain it if I can't explain it clearly. I can't be so cautious and risk my brother's life, right?

Song Chunsheng watched his sister close the door, thinking that she was crying in the room because she was sad and angry.

"San Ya, no, Jin Xiu, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. Come out soon. You still need to clean up the yard. Can I not do any work today?"

His sister didn't say anything. Song Chunsheng sat on the ground against the wall, bent over and covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he is actually still a child. He is actually using strength to disguise his helplessness.

He really wanted to cry.

But he was the eldest brother, and he had finally taken his sisters away from that home. They still had to survive, so he couldn't cry.

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and smiled at his younger brother who was looking at him nervously.

"Qiusheng, don't cry. Brother, take a break. Can you tell your elder sister to open the door?"

Qiu Sheng pursed his lips, clutched his clothes tightly in his hands, and sobbed.

Song Jinxiu walked out of the room and looked at her brother's eyes which were obviously crying. She couldn't say a word of blame.

She sighed and stuffed the unpacked silver bowl, silver spoon and silver chopsticks into her brother's hands.

"Brother, how much can this be sold for?"

Song Chunsheng was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost dropped the bowl.

"You, you, where did this come from?"

"I dug up a ginseng in the mountains last year and exchanged it with someone." Song Jinxiu lied very smoothly.

"Ah? How come I didn't know that?" Song Chunsheng was skeptical.

"I hid it secretly. Otherwise, with grandma's behavior, how could we keep it?"

That’s true. Song Chunsheng couldn’t help but look at his sister with admiration.

My sister was smart and knew to hide the private money early on, but I was stupid and didn't realize that my father was unreliable until my mother was divorced.

Song Chunsheng looked at the thing in his hand and became more and more shocked.

This thing is so beautiful, it must be worth a lot of money. How big a ginseng did my sister dig?

Just then, the village head's loud voice rang out at the door.

"Chun Sheng, Chun Sheng?"

Song Chunsheng quickly stuffed the silver bowl, silver spoon and silver chopsticks to his sister and said, "Put them away quickly."

This bowl is too eye-catching. I can't let anyone see it.

Song Jinxiu also hurriedly took it and wrapped the thing in her lapel.

"Chunsheng, is your leg injury serious? Wuya is crying like a tearful person. Let me take a look, let me take a look."

The village chief strode into the yard, followed by a group of villagers.

I just met Wu Ya in the village. The child was in a panic and went from house to house asking if anyone had a cart to borrow.

When he stopped her and asked her, the child burst into tears and gasped for breath. After a long time, she said that she borrowed the car to take care of her brother's legs.

It was he who decided to separate Chunsheng and the other children from the Song family. If they were doing well, it would prove that he was doing the right thing. If anything happened, wouldn't Song Shitou, that woman, be gossiping about him for the rest of his life?

So the village head hurried over to see what was going on.

"Grandpa Lizheng,"

Song Chunsheng greeted him while moving his legs helplessly.

When the head of the village saw Song Chunsheng's legs, he shuddered in his heart.

I'm afraid this child's leg is in trouble.

"It looks like a broken bone, doesn't it? Chunsheng, what did you do yesterday? Could it be that your father kicked you and broke it?"

Wasn’t it dad who kicked it?

At that time, he was fighting with all his might, just trying to save his sister. When his father kicked him, he actually didn't feel any pain.

Later, the village head decided to break up their relationship. He was so nervous that he ignored the pain in his legs.

It wasn't just his legs that hurt, his whole body was in pain, to the point of being numb.

In fact, even now, my legs feel numb and there is a dull pain, but it is not unbearable.

He didn't know that this was what made the situation even more serious.

"Ah, what happened to his leg? Sanzhu is so cruel. How can he kill a child?"

"If he wasn't cruel, could these children break off relations with him?"

"That's right. How can a person abandon his parents unless he is forced into a desperate situation?"

"It's pitiful! Chunsheng used to be such a good kid. He never stopped talking when he met people, and he always smiled when he spoke. He was such a lovable child, and now look at how he's been tortured."

"Hey! If you ask me, if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. When Chunsheng's biological mother was still alive, Sanzhu never beat the child like this."

The villagers were talking about it in a flurry.

Some are sympathetic, while others are there simply to watch the fun.

The village head frowned and looked at it for a long time, even pressing his leg with his hand. He shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid the doctor in town can't help. You have to go to the county for your leg. Wu Ya, go again and ask your brother Fuquan to bring the ox cart over."

Hearing what the head of the village said, Song Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to the county town by ox cart is much faster than pulling a cart.

Soon, Song Fu came over in an ox cart, knowing that they were taking Chunsheng to see a doctor for his leg. A straw mat was even laid on the cart.

Everyone worked together to lift Chunsheng into the car.

Song Jinxiu glanced at her sister and younger brother.

My sister is fine, my brother...

The child's eyes were full of fear.

The two children were at home, but the yard was still desolate and there were scorpions and poisonous insects in the house. She was really worried.

Forget it, the ox cart can accommodate everyone anyway, so let’s go together.

The headman fumbled in his sleeve and pulled out a few ounces of silver.

"Chunsheng, take this money. It may not be enough, but take care of your legs first. As for the rest, Grandpa will find a way."

Song Chunsheng tearfully declined, "Grandpa Lizheng, I know you're kind to us, but I don't want this silver. I have ten copper coins."

He wanted to say that he had silver. Aren't silver bowls, silver spoons, and silver chopsticks all money? But he couldn't say that. In the end, he said that he had ten copper coins.

"Silly Chunsheng, what can you do with ten copper coins, kid?"

The village head grandfather was so upset by the ten copper coins that he stuffed the silver into his arms. Then he waved his hand and told his grandson to drive away quickly.

If he doesn't leave now, he will cry.

"Ah, ah, poor child."

The village head didn't cry, but the woman behind him who saw all this couldn't help crying.

Ten copper coins is all the belongings of these children, right?

"Damn Sanzhu, he's not worthy of being a father after beating his son like this."

"Well, maybe Sanzhu was just too angry and didn't know how to control his strength."

The person who spoke was Song Shulin, Song Dashi's nephew and Song Sanzhu's cousin.

Their family went to the market yesterday. When they returned home, they were shocked to hear that Chunsheng and his siblings had severed ties with the family and moved away.

I originally wanted to go to my uncle's house to ask what was going on. There is a broken-off relative in this family, so it would be shameful for their family, right?

But as soon as I arrived at my uncle's house, I heard my aunt's loud and angry voice cursing inside.

They scolded Chunsheng as an ungrateful person who could never be tamed, scolded Sanya as an unwanted jinx, and scolded Sanzhu, asking why he didn't beat that disgraceful thing to death.

It seems that he was very angry because he didn't sell San Ya and lost the income. He was cursing whoever he caught in the yard.
