Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted
Chapter 29 This Good Father, Whoever Wants to Recognize Him Can Do It 5
After a hearty meal, Lu Yi stood up and stretched out a little, then began to sort out the things left by the original owner's parents. The original owner had several sets of clothes, all made of fine linen, which were soft to the touch and much more expensive than the coarse cloth worn by everyone in the village.
Lu Yi found about two taels of silver in the small box.
The original owner's parents had hired a famous doctor for medical treatment and medicine, which was not cheap. The funeral also cost a lot of money. Now this is the only cash left in the family.
Lu Yi put the two taels of silver into the space, as she was worried about keeping it somewhere else in the house.
It’s not that he was specifically on guard against Fang Youtian, but just for his own peace of mind.
The original owner never told Fang Youtian about the family's savings situation. He only found out about it when his parents told him about it privately before they died.
Lu Yi felt that it would be safest to keep valuables such as money in the space, as no one would be able to find them.
After sorting out the items at home, Lu Yi planned to go to the town to do some shopping tomorrow. Before it got dark, he went to the foot of the mountain, picked up some firewood, and tied it up to take back.
The ten-year-old boy had limited strength. Lu Yidong picked up a few pieces of firewood here and there, and chopped down two dead trees with a knife. He barely put them into two bundles and brought them back to the kitchen, placing them neatly in the corner.
After all this activity, Lu Yi was really exhausted. He simply washed up and went to sleep.
The next day, he saw a donkey cart parked at the entrance of the village. After asking the price, Lu Yi took out two cents from his pocket without hesitation and handed it to the driver. He then took the prepared bamboo basket and sat down in the innermost empty seat on the cart.
This donkey cart travels from the village to the town. It sets off when it is full of people and returns at the same time.
There is a fixed route every day and the fee is charged per person.
Not many people are willing to spend money to ride a donkey cart. The ladies sitting next to Lu Yi are all carrying large items to the town to sell for money. It is impossible for one person to carry so many things to the town in time to sell them, so they are willing to spend money to ride a donkey cart.
Like Lu Yuanshan, he was reluctant to spend the money, and he always walked to the town under the hot sun.
But this time, considering that there was a new child in the family, he put ten cents in his pocket, which was rare for him, and wanted to take Fang Youtian to the town to buy some candied haws to sweeten his mouth, and then take him to his eldest brother's house to finalize the adoption.
That’s right, after listening to Fang Youtian’s talk about the deep relationship between him and his elder brother last night, Lu Yuanshan’s confidence was restored.
It would be best if the adoption could be finalized, otherwise he would have Fang Youtian as a hot potato in his hands that he couldn't get rid of, and that would affect his reputation!
"Yiwazi, you should go to town too. Come on, Youtian, go ask your elder brother to invite you to ride in the donkey cart."
When Lu Yuanshan saw Lu Yi sitting on the donkey cart, he pushed Fang Youtian. As long as he said a few nice words to coax Lu Yi, whom he hadn't seen all night, Fang Youtian would have the money to ride the donkey cart!
Fang Youtian moved his feet reluctantly. He had changed his clothes, which Lu Yuanshan had asked for this morning when he went to the home of the widow he often helped.
The clothes were free of charge, but when Lu Yuanshan saw the widow's youngest son crying for meat, he couldn't bear to give him a few cents.
It's like buying it with money.
Lu Yuanshan now has only three cents left in his pocket, which is enough to buy a candied haws, but there is no way he can take a donkey cart.
Lu Yuanshan was originally worried, what should he do?
He was an adult and usually didn't ride a donkey cart. He walked to the town. It was indeed not as comfortable as riding in a car, but he got used to it after walking for a while.
With Fang Youtian here, the child definitely can't walk such a long distance. If he carries the child, it's not impossible, but it will be a little tiring.
But the journey would take at least an hour, and he was afraid that the child would get too hot when the sun came out.
Fang Youtian tugged at his clothes. He had never worn such tattered clothes before. The material was as worn as hemp rope and not comfortable at all!
He didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yi, he was still angry with Lu Yi!
But when he thought about the bland meal he had at Lu Yuanshan's house last night, Fang Youtian couldn't get used to it at all. He still had to find a way to get his elder brother to take him back.
Fang Youtian stepped forward with grievance and shouted at Lu Yi, "Brother, take me to town to buy some delicious food. I want to eat candied haws and meat buns!"
From the first word he said, Lu Yi quickly turned his face away, pretending he saw and heard nothing.
I still want to eat meat buns. I think you look like a meat bun.
The lady sitting next to him smiled and said, "Oh, such a cute baby, asking for candied haws and meat buns. Yuanshan, did you find gold?"
"No, I can't pick up any gold. This is the child of Yiwazi's family. The clan leader wants me to be their father, so I took this little one with me in advance to cultivate our relationship."
Lu Yi interrupted, "Uncle Yuanshan, please don't talk nonsense. This kid has nothing to do with me right now. Please teach him a lesson and don't try to make connections with rich people just because you see one."
"Yiwazi, even if Youtian isn't your biological brother, you've raised him for so many days after all. As the eldest brother, it's only natural for you to pay a few coins and ask him to ride in the donkey cart. Isn't that normal, Auntie?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know. For us farmers in the countryside, every penny we earn comes from our mouths. Yuanshan, you should be kind to your children and don't give all your money away."
The people in the car burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Lu Yuanshan was being closely watched by those families in the village who could not afford to eat, as if they were holding a meal ticket.
Especially that widow Jin, I don’t know how much she asked for from Lu Yuanshan!
The old lady looked Fang Youtian up and down, examining him from head to toe.
It was all over the news last night that Lu Yuanshan took a baby away from Lu Yi's house to raise.
He is still a white and chubby boy!
He is so poor that he can only make ends meet, yet he still thinks about raising other people's children. This is really...
Lu Yuanshan is good-looking, has all the necessary limbs, and is strong, but with his personality, he is definitely not someone she can marry. She has to go back and have a good talk with her daughter.
The donkey cart was full of people. The donkey shifted back and forth a few times, shouting and snorting, eager to set off.
Lu Yi refused to pay, and Lu Yuanshan had no choice. The money for buying candied haws could not be spent, otherwise what was the point of going to the town, just to look at the air.
Lu Yuanshan could only hold Fang Youtian's hand and walk to the town.
Lu Yi found a comfortable place to rest his head, and his head bounced up and down against the side as the donkey cart swayed, not caring at all about the resentful look Fang Youtian gave him.
It’s true, this was my first time riding a donkey cart, and it felt pretty good, especially when I saw Lu Yuanshan and Fang Youtian working hard on the back of the cart, while I was resting comfortably on the donkey cart. The sense of happiness was really contrasted.
