An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 126 The whole family goes to the city
The decision to stay in Yiyang City for one day was not only to exchange the pass documents with the government, but also because everyone had to buy some things, especially food.
The day after they left the forest, that is, yesterday and the day before yesterday, the officials had basically eaten up all the food they had, and they were only given one steamed bun a day.
After entering the post station on the outskirts of Yiyang City, Scarface came over and informed them that they would not be given black-faced steamed buns tonight and asked each family to solve the problem on their own.
The prisoners now groaned even more, especially the twenty or so prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment. All of them walked a lot and had big appetites, so their bellies were already sticking to their backs.
Jing Yongcheng sighed and arranged, "Zhuang, look at how much food we have left. Give it all to Heizi's mother. At least let them have some porridge."
Since the family needed to increase supplies and buy some things, the old lady touched the silver bills in her arms, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea, wanting to make life better for her family.
"We've been through a lot lately. Ning'er, go and see if you can negotiate with Master Liu and ask them to allow us to enter Yiyang City and find a small inn to stay for one night.
Anyway, let's wash our hair and bodies. My mother's hair has been itchy these past few days. If your wife hadn't combed it every day, I'm afraid she would have lice."
The old lady couldn't help but make this request because she thought that the stack of silver notes her granddaughter gave her for warming herself was completely useless.
The old lady had a clear idea: they couldn't just let the four men into the city; it would also be good for them to go and feast their eyes. Although they came from a wealthy family in the capital, few of the family, young and old, had ever been out of the capital, so since they were here, they could consider it an outing.
The road ahead is long and although it is a bit difficult, as long as conditions permit, there is no need for the family to live a miserable life.
It wasn't that she couldn't bear the hardship, but since she still had so much money, why didn't she let her children and grandchildren live a better life? What was the point of making everyone live like beggars for nothing? Money could be earned again, but family could not be lost.
Even if you can't dress up so nicely, you should at least enjoy the day after walking for such a long time. At least everyone can have a good meal, take a shower and have a good sleep, so that you have the energy and physical strength to deal with the next step.
Jing Chunxi agreed wholeheartedly: "Grandma is so awesome!" If conditions allowed, she would even want to lift her feet.
"Okay!"
"We can go into the city now!" Shiro's big mouth was immediately covered by his mother's big hand. The other children who wanted to cheer also stopped immediately. Only little Tuanzi was dancing with confusion. She knew something good was going to happen by looking at everyone's expressions.
It is definitely not okay to shout and yell before the official has agreed. It will have a bad impact if the hungry prisoners hear it.
"My son will be there soon."
After hearing this, Jing Changning saw that his father had no objection and immediately went to find someone.
The post station in Yiyang City was much better than the small one in the forest, but once inside, you were still assigned to large bunk beds. At least you could assign beds to people per person, rather than just cramming them into a few beds. If you were willing to spend a little more, you could opt for a smaller bunk bed. There were also single, double, and quad rooms available.
But no matter what, the conditions of the government-run post stations were not a bit worse than those of the big restaurants run by merchants in the city.
Changning saw clearly the glint in the eyes of the female relatives when they heard the old lady's arrangements, and Si's eyes were exactly the same.
He was grateful but also heartbroken for his wife's unwavering commitment to him and her willingness to endure the hardships. His wife had her period, but she didn't even have water to wash herself with. She endured it for five or six days. He imagined the other women in his family would have experienced the same thing. It must have been uncomfortable and prone to illness.
The official post station is five or six miles away from Yiyang City. Although it is no longer located in the wilderness, it is still outside Yiyang City. The surrounding area is also very deserted, and you have to go into the city to buy small items.
If you can arrange to stay in a big restaurant in the city, the bright lights and nightlife of Yiyang City will be right before your eyes. You can take a bath to refresh yourself, and then go out for a walk and feel good even if you don't buy anything.
Yin was still a little worried, and Aunt Feng also expressed their concerns: "If we live in the city, I'm afraid we won't have time to make dry food."
It was impossible for them to use the kitchen in a big restaurant, and it was even more impossible for them to build a stove and make a fire to cook.
Jing Chunxi's smile was so wide that her teeth were visible. She wholeheartedly supported moving to the city. Anything that could be solved with money was no problem for her. In her previous life, she had lived in the manor for five years, but apart from the manor and a nearby village, she had hardly ever been anywhere else. At the age of thirteen, she was taken back to the marquis' mansion and imprisoned, barely leaving the house. She never got to experience the beautiful scenery outside until she was hanged in that old pervert's house.
"Second aunt, auntie, don't worry. I heard that Yiyang City is very prosperous, only slightly inferior to the capital. What is there out there? You can buy it with silver, and it won't cost much more."
"That's right. We should spend some money to save some energy so that we can walk the rest of the way. We finally get a day to rest, but if we rush to make pancakes and steamed buns, we will be exhausted to death."
Zhuang was now incredibly wealthy. She patted her banknotes, signaling her confidence. They'd only spent a few dozen taels of silver in just two small towns, a sum beyond her expectations. They'd cooked two large pots of food every day, and no one had gone hungry. How could she not have known how durable rice and flour were, having never been in the kitchen before? Perhaps the original purchasing woman had ripped them off.
When I first left the capital, I was worried about not having enough food and clothing and money to spend during my exile. Why do I feel worried now that I won’t be able to spend the money?
Those guys no longer bother her every day complaining that her monthly salary is not enough like before, and specifically try to steal the little money she has.
Even if Third Uncle went to deal with Master Liu and the others, he would not ask her, the mistress in charge of the household, for a single penny. Even if Silang wanted to spend some money, he would go to please their Third Uncle and his mother-in-law, and it had nothing to do with her.
Thinking about the many things she would have to buy tomorrow, Zhuang felt that she had a sense of being the mistress of the house, as if she had regained her sense of presence.
As expected, with silver in hand, even evil spirits have to give way.
Jing Changning dragged Dalang over with her, and soon Dalang happily ran back, saying, "Grandma, it's done."
Although he felt bad for Uncle San, he handed Master Liu a purse and gave Scarface some small change. But after listening to Master Liu's fake scolding and a few rules, he finally nodded and let him go.
The old lady asked Zhuang to secretly tell the young wives in other rooms about the news, so that they would not be thought to be hiding any good things from them, and also to ask them if they needed any help.
