The wife of two taels of silver

The water in the water tank was almost empty again. Zhang Ben dragged his crippled leg to the well and drew water.

Lin Haitang was in the study, looking through the open window.

Zhang Ben's left leg was completely powerless, and he could only walk by dragging it with his right leg. He could only stand, and there was no apparent problem.

Zhang Ben pulled up the water and walked out carrying it, taking each step very slowly so that he could walk steadily and prevent the water from spilling.

It takes Zhang Ben a lot of time to fill a tank of water.

Lin Haitang invited a doctor to see Zhang Ben. The doctor said that it was very good that he had recovered to this extent, and there was nothing else he could do.

The elixir in the space can cure it, but Lin Haitang doesn’t know how to use it, otherwise there is no way to explain it.

Lin Haitang could only secretly add two buckets of spiritual spring water to the water tank. After drinking the spiritual spring water for a long time, Zhang Ben's legs gradually got better.

Lin Haitang is copying the ninetieth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions.

Xiannong Bookstore acted quickly and began to print out the manuscripts of the first thirty-three chapters in large quantities. Leveraging Liu Shuyun's influence, they distributed them throughout the Kang Dynasty.

No one could resist Dream of the Red Chamber, and it became an instant hit.

The book craze also boosted the development of other industries, and the opera based on "Dream of the Red Chamber" was also very popular.

Of course, Lin Haitang also made a lot of money.

Just for the share of the profits, Lin Haitang received 30,000 taels. Opera troupes from all over the country would also give Lin Haitang 20% ​​of the share as long as they performed "Dream of Red Mansions".

Lin Haitang made money effortlessly just by lying at home.

When she received her first share, Lin Haitang knelt in front of the book Dream of the Red Chamber for an hour in her space to express her gratitude.

The book Dream of the Red Chamber has been placed by Lin Haitang in the highest place in the wooden house.

Even Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun bought a copy of Dream of the Red Chamber when they went to the city to do some shopping, and asked Lin Haitang to read it to them. They were so fascinated by it that they had to skip meals to listen to the whole story.

Lin Haitang looked up at the sky in silence and could only read it to them.

Today marks a month since Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun came to the house. Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan are also on vacation, so Lin Haitang plans to give them a surprise.

"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law," Lin Haitang called.

Zhao Xiangjun was sewing clothes for Gu Zhilan and came out with needle and thread: "What's wrong, Madam?"

Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun insisted on calling Lin Haitang Madam and the two children "Young Master" and "Young Miss". Lin Haitang tried to correct them many times, but it was no use. She had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.

"Today there's a play at Guanhe Tower, 'Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden,'" Lin Haitang said, supporting her waist. "It's just as well that Momo and Lanlan don't have to go to private school, so I'll go watch it with you."

"Really?" Zhao Xiangjun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Lin Haitang laughed: "Sister-in-law, why would I lie to you?"

"Zhang Ben!" Zhao Xiangjun turned around and shouted, "Young Master, Young Miss, we're going into town to watch a play."

Zhang Ben had just poured the last bucket of water into the water tank when he asked curiously, "Madam, what kind of show are you going to see?"

"Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden." Lin Haitang said calmly, observing Zhang Ben's expression.

"Madam, I'm going to rent a bullock cart!" Zhang Ben put down the bucket and ran out.

Lin Haitang was both amused and confused.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan also wanted to change into new clothes. Gu Zhilan asked Lin Haitang, "Mom, can I eat some osmanthus cake?"

"Mom, I want to buy a nine-ring chain." Gu Mo said afterwards.

Lin Haitang nodded: "Okay, I'll buy them all."

Looking at the whining Xiaobai, Lin Haitang comforted it and said, "Xiaobai, you can't go. If you go, we won't be able to enter the theater."

Xiaobai is really too big.

"When you come back, mommy will bring you a big bone." Xiaobai licked Lin Haitang's palm softly.

The family got on the ox cart and started walking.

I still have to buy a house in the county town, Lin Haitang thought.

But she really didn't want to give up the vegetable garden at home.

Farming is something that is ingrained in the genes of the Chinese people. They cannot bear to see any piece of land left idle. They either plant vegetables or flowers, but it cannot be left idle.

There is a large open space behind the Gu family. The original mother-in-law took good care of it when she was alive, but the original person did not know how to take care of it, so it has always been empty. After Lin Haitang came through, she was heartbroken when she saw it, and planted vegetables on all the land.

It was also because of these dishes that Lin Haitang was reluctant to move to the county town.

Lin Haitang did everything herself, from sowing and watering to sprouting. The crops were almost ready to eat when Zhang Ben and his wife arrived.

I have eaten a lot this month, so I plan to live in Xiancheng for convenience.

Apart from anything else, if you live in the city, you don’t have to hide anything. Just buy a carriage and it will be convenient for you to travel.

Lin Haitang booked a seat on the second floor, which was an excellent spot for watching movies.

The seats were really packed, and there were quite a few people standing as well, it was packed.

Granny Liu on the stage made everyone laugh, and then people started talking about Dream of the Red Chamber.

"The author of Red Mansions is truly a genius."

"Yeah, I don't know who wrote it, but it's so well written."

"Some say it's an old man with white hair."

"Some say he's a fallen nobleman."

"Some say it was written by a prostitute."

……

No need to ask, even if we knew who wrote it, you can't see it, Lin Haitang thought.

When the performance went well, everyone applauded, and Gu Mo's hands turned red from clapping.

Hua'an County, underground gambling house.

"Big! Big!"

"Small!"

"big!"

"Small! Small! Small!"

Lin Jiafu's neck veins popped out as he roared, "Big, big!"

When it opened, it was small.

Lin Jiafu lost everything again.

Lin Jiafu cursed loudly and tried to leave, but was stopped by a man who was a head shorter than him: "Jiafu, why are you leaving? Play one more round. Maybe you can make it all back in the next round."

"What are you talking about? I'm out of money! Get out of here!" Lin Jiafu raised his hand.

"Then go away, I'll play another round." The man let him go, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and pressed it on the side with the word "big" written on it.

Lin Jiafu stopped and asked, "Where did you get so much money? Didn't you say you were out of money a few days ago?"

The man chuckled and said, "Hey, this is all earned by me, brother."

Lin Jiafu pulled him aside and asked stealthily, "Brother, how do you make money? Take care of your younger brother."

The man leaned close to Lin Jiafu's ear and whispered a few words.

There is a place that collects pretty girls. Those with good looks can be sold for fifty taels!

Lin Jiafu saw Gu Zhilan getting off the ox cart.
