The wife of two taels of silver

In order to finish copying the book quickly, Lin Haitang sat in the study whenever she had time.

Every time Zhang Ben saw it, he would sigh in his heart: Madam really misses Captain Gu.

If Lin Haitang could hear his inner thoughts, she would definitely be puzzled.

At the dinner table, Gu Zhilan was still sighing: "Mom, the play you took us to see that day was so good!"

Lin Haitang really didn't expect the two children to like it so much, "You like it so much? Mom will take you there later."

It's been several days, and I'm still thinking about it.

"Okay!" Not only Gu Zhilan, but even Gu Mo's eyes lit up.

Zhang Ben and Zhao Xiangjun were also very happy: "That would be great."

Seeing how much these people enjoyed it, Lin Haitang said, "As long as there's another opera troupe performing, I'll take you there."

It seems that we can no longer delay settling down in the county town.

As usual, there were two buckets of ice next to the dining table, and there was also an ice bucket in the corner of the room. Thinking back to when Zhang Ben and his wife saw it for the first time, their eyes almost popped out.

Later, Lin Haitang taught them the process of making ice, and they were even more surprised and amazed at the woman's intelligence.

The saltpeter at home was almost used up, and Lin Haitang planned to ask Zhang Ben to hire someone to go to the mountain and pull down another cart of it.

With Zhang Ben's legs and feet, he could do it, but it would take some effort and would tire his legs, which was really unnecessary.

Lin Haitang had moved all the saltpeter from the mountain piece by piece into the space, and then poured it out when she got home, which took a lot of effort on her part.

"Brother Zhang, go find two people and go to the mountain to get some bad stones in a few days." Lin Haitang said.

The local people call saltpeter "bad stone".

Zhang Ben put down his bowl and asked, "Who are you looking for? I can do it myself for that kind of money."

Lin Haitang joked, "Don't, Brother Zhang. If you get tired, my sister-in-law will definitely feel bad. It won't cost much to find someone to do it. Just find someone to do it."

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at Zhang Ben and said, "Who feels sorry for him? I don't feel sorry for him."

Lin Haitang suddenly announced an important news at the dinner table: "I'm thinking of going to Hua'an County to look at houses today. Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, who of you will go with me?"

Gu Zhilan opened her eyes wide and asked, "Mom, why do we have to go look at houses?"

"Because mom wants to buy a house in the county town, we will live there in the future, okay, Lanlan?" Lin Haitang pinched Gu Zhilan's increasingly round face.

"Good!" Gu Zhilan clapped her little palms happily.

Gu Mo, on the other hand, asked worriedly, "But mother, my sister and I still have to go to school."

Lin Haitang said cheerfully, "It's okay! Mother will find a better private school for you in the county town, and let a more knowledgeable teacher teach you."

Zhang Ben sighed, "Captain Gu will definitely be very happy to see how lovely the young master and young lady are."

But forget it, Lin Haitang complained in his heart.

The last time I went home, I saw my two children but they didn’t seem to like them very much.

"Uncle Zhang! You haven't finished telling us what you told us last time!" Gu Mo looked at Zhang Ben with shining eyes.

From time to time, Zhang Ben would tell the two children about Gu An, about him on the battlefield, his bravery, his talent, and his reputation.

Whenever they heard this, Lin Haitang would secretly roll her eyes, but the two children became more and more excited and proud the more they listened.

"Okay, uncle will tell you!" Zhang Ben began to recall.

"Back then, Captain Gu's horse was surrounded by the enemy. Captain Gu remained calm, spear in hand, and fought his way out..."

Looking at these three men, one was speaking excitedly and the other two were listening excitedly, and they completely forgot what Lin Haitang had just said.

Lin Haitang was quite speechless. She turned to Zhao Xiangjun and said, "Sister-in-law, how about you come with me to the county town?"

Zhao Xiangjun nodded and said, "I think so too. With Old Zhang's legs and feet, taking him with him wouldn't be a burden."

Lin Haitang said, "Okay, let's go there later and ask Brother Zhang to rent an ox cart for us."

After dinner, Zhang Ben was asked to find an oxcart. Zhang Ben said, "Madam, I'd better go with you. You are still pregnant. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid Xiangjun won't be able to come with you."

"Don't be afraid. There can't be any accidents. Besides, I'm only seven months pregnant. It's no big deal. Don't worry." Lin Haitang said.

When I fell off the horse, the child didn't fall. Looking at a house shouldn't cause such a strong impact.

Knowing that he couldn't persuade Lin Haitang, Zhang Ben said nothing more and went to find the ox cart.

At worst, his wife is with him, what can go wrong?

I just went to the county town a few days ago, and everything was fine there, wasn't it?

Xiaobai came back after sending the children to school, and when he saw Lin Haitang, he started whining and calling out.

"Hmm... Hmm..."

Lin Haitang held Xiaobai's big head and said, "Xiaobai, Mommy has to go out for a while. You and uncle stay at home and take care of the house."

When Xiaobai heard this, he wagged his tail even more happily. He licked Lin Haitang's face, hummed in a low voice, and rubbed his head against Lin Haitang's neck.

"Ah ...

Lin Haitang patted Xiaobai on the head and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? You want to go too?"

"Ow!"

You didn’t take me with you last time!

Zhao Xiangjun watched Xiaobai die and smiled beside her: "Madam, just take it with you. Xiaobai can still protect you."

"Ow! Ow!"

Xiaobai nodded in response.

Its head was fine, but it shocked Lin Haitang and Zhao Xiangjun. They looked at each other with their mouths wide open.

Lin Haitang exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow! Our Xiaobai can even nod his head! How amazing!"

Zhao Xiangjun also touched Xiaobai's fur and said, "Oh, this dog is really rare."

The more Zhao Xiangjun looked at Xiaobai, the more she felt something was wrong. She had never asked, but today she finally had the chance. She asked, "Madam, Xiaobai doesn't look like a dog to me."

Lin Haitang smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, what do you think our Xiaobai looks like?"

"It looks like a wolf to me!" Zhao Xiangjun said seriously, adding, "Zhang Ben thinks it looks like a wolf, too."

"Sister-in-law, you have a very accurate vision. Our Xiaobai is the wolf." Lin Haitang grabbed Xiaobai's wolf mouth, with pride in her eyes and eyebrows.

"Ah! It really is a wolf!" Zhao Xiangjun felt that she liked Xiaobai even more. She grabbed his paw and was very happy: "Good wolf! Good wolf!"

Now, you don’t have to worry about thieves breaking into your house. I will bite anyone who comes.

A few days ago, a family in the village was robbed!

In the morning, Lin Haitang said to Zhang Ben on the oxcart, "Brother Zhang, if we don't come back, you have to pick up Momo and Lanlan when they get out of school."

Zhang Ben waved at them: "Don't worry!"

The driver waved his whip and the ox cart started off shakily.

The back mountain of Shanganhe Village.

Lin Jiafu and Ma Kuizi were hiding behind the private school.

Ma Kuizi is the man who is richer than the Ailin family in the casino.

Lin Jiafu was a little anxious and whispered, "Brother Kui, can't we find someone else? There are still many young girls in the village. These three people are followed to and from school by a big dog. We can't do it."

They have been squatting for several days and haven't found any opportunity.

The dog was so big that it was taller than a person when it stood up. It could bite them both to death with one bite.

Ma Kuizi was also anxious and spat, "No, the other goods in your village are not as good as these three! They sell for more money!"

Lin Jiafu really had no money left. After meeting Gu Zhilan, he had some evil thoughts. The next day, he pulled Ma Kuizi over to let him take a look.

Originally, Lin Jiafu only wanted to capture Gu Zhilan, but when Ma Kuizi saw it, he said to capture all three.

"Why did you catch that boy? He is not a girl." Lin Jiafu reminded Ma Kuizi with a puzzled look on his face.

Ma Kuizi looked at me with a look of "You don't understand this, do you?" and said, "Some rich people just like to play with good-looking little boys like this."

"And there's the older girl. Although she's not as good as the younger one, she can still be sold for a good price." Ma Kuizi was referring to Lin Qiaoxia's daughter, Li.

I really didn't expect that after squatting for several days, I didn't have the chance to get close to these three children.

Ma Kuizi was also anxious to see the money, but he couldn't bear to part with the three good fruits, so he said, "Wait a little longer."

People like Ma Kuizi privately call these beautiful children "Guo'er".

When they arrived at the county town, Lin Haitang got off the ox cart, holding her belly.

This road is really difficult to travel on, the ox cart is too shaking.

Lin Haitang decided to buy a carriage and go back. She had already figured it out. She didn't care what the villagers said, as long as she felt comfortable. If anyone dared to say that in front of her, she would tear their mouth apart.

Go find Fang Ya first, and then let Fang Ya take you to see the house.

"Young lady, how big a house do you plan to buy?" Fang Ya asked Lin Haitang while holding a bunch of keys.

Lin Haitang said directly: "I don't have much money, I just need a courtyard with two entrances, which is enough for me to live in."

Fang Ya grinned and said, "Okay, I have a nice yard. I'll take you to see it."

"It's a little far. Is your stomach okay?" Fang Ya turned his head and looked at Lin Haitang's stomach.

Lin Haitang waved his hand and said casually, "It's okay. Just lead the way. I'm in good health."

Zhao Xiangjun supported Lin Haitang and said, "Madam, if you feel tired, just lean on me. If you can't, let's go rent a carriage."

"Ow!"

Xiaobai hurriedly rubbed Lin Haitang's leg.

Lin Haitang smiled and said, "Did you say I'm tired and I can sit on you?"

"Ow!"

"No," Lin Haitang touched Xiaobai's head, "It's a good time to take a walk. I haven't walked much today."

Xiaobai rubbed Lin Haitang's leg again with a whimper.

In fact, on the way here, Zhao Xiangjun asked Lin Haitang worriedly: "Madam, it cost a lot of money to buy a house. Even if it's just a small courtyard, it will cost several hundred taels."

Lin Haitang laughed heartily, leaned against Zhao Xiangjun, and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have enough money to buy a house."

In fact, it didn’t take long, only a quarter of an hour, to reach the destination.

Fang Ya said, "This courtyard was bought in a hurry because my family members are going to Beijing. The living furniture is all good and all available at a very reasonable price."

Lin Haitang followed Fang Ya in to take a look. It was indeed nice. It was neither too far nor too close to the county center, and it was convenient for everything. The road in front of the door was wide, and there was a small pond inside. The flowers and plants in the house were also very well maintained. It was obvious that the original owner was a person who loved life.

Lin Haitang was satisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it. She asked, "How much is this house?"

Fang Ya said, "Not much, not much, five hundred taels."

Lin Haitang nodded and said, "Are there any other second courtyards? Let me take a look."

Today, Lin Haitang and Zhao Xiangjun looked at four or five houses in total, and their feet were a little tired.

Lin Haitang likes the first set the most.

"Okay, let's stop here today. I'll come back the day after tomorrow." Lin Haitang Fang Ya said.

You can't decide on a house right away, there might be a better one later.

Afterwards, Lin Haitang went to buy a carriage: "Sister-in-law, let's buy a carriage to go back. Riding an ox cart is too tiring."

The carriage was easy to buy. Lin Haitang looked at several, picked a good horse, and paid for it directly.

They only bought a carriage but no driver. Lin Haitang knew how to drive it, but Zhao Xiangjun refused to agree.

"Madam, no, you're seven months pregnant, how can you drive a carriage?" Zhao Xiangjun said earnestly, "This is no joke!"

"I absolutely disagree!" Zhao Xiangjun issued an ultimatum.

Lin Haitang raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, sister-in-law, let's hire a driver."

In this way, the two of them got on the carriage and returned home.

Zhao Xiangjun looked around curiously in the carriage and said, "Oh, this is the first time I've ever ridden in a carriage in my life."

Lin Haitang said: "Sister-in-law, we will do it every day from now on. If you are happy, you can sleep in the carriage at night."

"That's great!" Zhao Xiangjun was very happy, but then her face turned bitter as she said, "Everything is good in my life except that I don't have a child."

In ancient times, everyone wanted a child, and only when they had a child would they feel complete.

Speaking of this, Lin Haitang remembered that when Zhang Ben and his wife came, they did not bring a child with them. She had never thought about this before, and did not think it was strange that two people came out without a child.

Lin Haitang asked: "Sister-in-law, have you seen a doctor?"

Infertility is either a problem with the man or the woman, or both of them.

Zhao Xiangjun said with pain in her eyes, "I've already seen it. It's my fault."

Lin Haitang nodded and asked again: "Is there no possibility of cure?"

Zhao Xiangjun shook her head: "I've seen many doctors, but they all said there's no cure. I've even tried many folk remedies."

She is much better now and can even say that when she was crazy before, she even drank water boiled from a wasp nest.

But no matter how much medicine he took, whether it was a prescription from a doctor or a folk remedy passed down from generation to generation, none of it worked.

Zhao Xiangjun is already thirty-three years old and has never had a child.

"Luckily, Zhang Ben is a good man," Zhao Xiangjun sighed again, "My mother-in-law has repeatedly asked him to divorce me, but he refused."

At this point, Zhao Xiangjun's eyes welled up with tears. She said, "There's nothing to say to me, so wherever he goes, I'll follow him."

So when Zhang Ben retired from the battlefield and returned home, he said he wanted to be a servant for others and become a slave. Zhao Xiangjun followed him without saying a word.

Lin Haitang didn't say anything else to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Having a child depends on fate. Maybe it wasn't meant to be before. You just need to feed her well now, and maybe the child will come."

Lin Haitang herself really doesn't want to have children, but she knows that there are many women who want to be mothers in this life but don't have the chance.

Lin Haitang planned to wait until her child was born, and then let Zhao Xiangjun take a pill without knowing it. It was 100% certain that as long as she and Zhang Ben continued to have sex, she would get pregnant soon.

Her elixir can cure all kinds of diseases and even bring people back to life.

However, they didn't know that on their way back, Gu Mo, Gu Zhilan and Li Yatou had an accident.
