Chapter 119： Food is more expensive than money!

Chapter 119 Food is more expensive than money!

Second Aunt Wu and Second Aunt Sun lived well and were a little reluctant to move out, but when they saw the money, they were immediately happy.

They can't live in the mountains forever. After they go out in the spring, they have no house or land, and they have to use money everywhere. Making a fortune at this time can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Soon, the smallest cave was poured out.

The servant woman may have some martial arts skills, and she climbed up with the beautiful woman on her back a few times. However, Mr. Wen wasted a lot of effort, and was even laughed at by Divine Doctor Zhang.

When Li Laoer came home, he gave the money to his mother.

Mrs. Li asked Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru to go over and help, and share some of the excess buckets, pots, pans, and other supplies at home.

In fact, at times like this, silver is really of little use, but food is the most valuable thing.

Because in the deep mountains and old forests, there is such a war and cold winter, food can survive, but money may not be able to buy food.

Old Mrs. Li was willing to help Mr. Wen and the other four because of Dr. Zhang's reputation and because her family had the confidence.

With their precious granddaughter by their side, their family is not afraid of running out of food.

Soon, before they could finish cleaning up, good news came to grandma’s ears, giving the old lady another great reason.

“Grandma, my eldest brother is studying, and I’m looking for my husband.”

It took Mrs. Li a long time to realize what was happening, and her eyes immediately lit up.

“Oh, grandma’s lucky girl, why are you so smart! Haha, why didn’t grandma think of that?”

Jiayin hugged her grandma’s neck and giggled, “Grandma, take me there.”

I have to say that Jiaxi and Jiaan have been trapped in the cave these past few days. The biggest pleasure is teaching their sister to speak, and the results are still very good.

Jiayin can’t speak long sentences yet, but her pronunciation is much clearer.

Mrs. Li thought about it for a while but refused, "No, wait two more days. There are patients over there. Be careful, I'll get you involved too. Grandma won't go either, so you can do needlework at home with her."

The good news faded away immediately. She didn’t want to do needlework, she wanted to watch the fun!

She was lying on the bed and rolling around in boredom, wishing she could eat a few more bites of feet.

Tao Hongying couldn't bear to see her daughter like this, so she said, "Mom, I'll carry Fu Niu there on my back. I won't stay too long and will be back soon."

Zhao Yuru also said, "Yes, mother, Fu Niu is so sensible on weekdays. It's rare that she wants to go have fun, so let us take her with her."

“Okay, go ahead, go ahead.” Old Mrs. Li waved her hands in confusion, “I usually say that I spoil Fu Niu, but in fact, none of you can run away. When she grows up and becomes unruly and willful, it will be your fault.”

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru both laughed and quickly wrapped Fu Niu in a quilt and tied her back with a bamboo basket.

Jiayin kissed them each and smiled happily.

For a while, Tao Hongying carried Fu Niu on her back, and Zhao Yuru carried a large wicker basket. They took a bunch of them in a mess and went down to their cave.

The cave given to Mr. Wen and the others can accommodate at most seven or eight people, so the place is very small.

At this moment, there are four Mr. Wen, plus Doctor Zhang and the village chief, and the place is already very crowded.

Tao Hongying shouted and asked the people above to get the basket down, and then they climbed up the vine ladder.

The third Aunt Wu and the Second Aunt Sun took away all the bedding and supplies, leaving only the hay for making the bed, which was about a foot thick, which was enough.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru got busy when they saw the beautiful woman sitting sickly on the cave wall.

Laying linoleum, spreading quilts, setting up pots and lighting fires, boiling water to make porridge, all busy.

Jiayin, on the other hand, lay on her mother's back, blinking her big eyes, and kept looking at Mr. Wen and the four of them.

Especially Mr. Wen, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

Although it is said that knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart, there is also a saying that appearance comes from the heart.

Mr. Wen has a dignified appearance, and his eyes are very upright. He looks like the most orthodox scholar, noble and dignified. It would be no problem for a person like this to be Jiaren's husband for a few months.

Everyone didn’t know that a little girl who had just turned one year old could think so much, they just thought she was curious.

Soon, the beautiful woman was helped to lie down on the soft bed, and there were even a few hot pebbles placed under the quilt.

The servant girl was extremely happy, and her somewhat rigid expression also showed gratitude.

Mr. Wen found out and thanked Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru.

Tao Hongying was cheerful and spoke directly.

"Sir, there is no need to be like this. Divine Doctor Zhang was entrusted to our family by a noble person. If you are familiar with Divine Doctor Zhang, you are also a guest of our family. What's more, our second brother also took the money back. My mother asked us to take good care of you. Unfortunately, I have been running away all the way. I don’t have any good things at home. I hope your husband won’t take offense if I’m negligent.”

"No, no!" Mr. Wen glanced at the beautiful woman and saw that the purple color on her face had faded, and the maid was wiping her hands and face with a hot cloth.

On the stove at the entrance of the cave, rice porridge was simmering in a small iron pot. Dried vegetables and minced meat seemed to be added to it. It was bubbling and bubbling. The aroma made him want to swallow his saliva.

It all seemed like a dream. One moment I was going to freeze to death in the mountains and forests, but in the blink of an eye I had food, drink and shelter.

When the meat porridge was ready, Tao Hongying cut three more salted eggs. Mr. Wen and four other people, including Doctor Zhang and the village chief, all shared a bowl of meat porridge.

The village chief blushed a little, but as he got older and his mouth became more greedy, he didn't want to refuse the meat porridge in his hand.

As for Divine Doctor Zhang, he is already drinking Xili snoring faster than anyone else...

Xu Xu really suffered a big mistake in the woods. Even the beautiful woman insisted on drinking a bowl of porridge and eating salted egg yolk.

After the meal, Doctor Zhang took the prepared medicinal materials, and Zhao Yuru helped cook them.

The doctor Zhang began to chase people away, "Okay, let's go, let them watch the medicine and drink it, and they will be fine after a good sleep."

Tao Hongying thought for a while, carefully took out a pear from the basket she brought, and handed it to Mr. Wen.

"This is what my family picked from the forest. There is not much. Sir, I keep it so that the noble man can remove the bitter taste after taking the medicine."

Mr. Wen didn't expect that she would be so thoughtful. His mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. He only bowed deeply.

Tao Hongying hurriedly hid aside, and then pulled Zhao Yuru down to the entrance of the cave.

Jiayin lay on my mother’s back, smiling and waving to Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen was stunned, quickly put the pears aside, and waved his hand...

Jiayin couldn’t stop giggling, and the more she thought about it, the more satisfied she became. Unfortunately, the treacherous Bei Feng found an opportunity and choked her with a cough.

Tao Hongying was frightened and ran back to her cave. She was relieved when she saw that her daughter drank hot water and found nothing unusual.

Mrs. Li was anxious and asked her daughter-in-law, "How about Mr. Wen? Does he look good?"

Tao Hongying said, "Mom, Mr. Wen is such a good person. He is very polite to us and doesn't look down on us. He also thanks us when we make the bed, and he also bows to us when we make porridge, and politely makes us uncomfortable."

“Yes, mother.” Zhao Yuru also moved a small stool and sat next to the stove, whispering.

“Mr. Wen is not the kind of scholar who has his eyes set high above his head. I see that he and the sick lady are not like a family, and they must avoid suspicion in everything they do. But he also hates the lady, which seems really strange.”

“As long as Mr. Wen is good, we don’t care about the rest. That’s their business. After we get the money, we’ll take more care of him and help him more. If the villagers ask, don’t say too much.”

Mrs. Li told her daughter-in-law, smiling and thinking about when to mention to Mr. Wen about teaching Jiaren how to read.

They talked so lively that Jiaren sat beside them and practiced calligraphy without stopping.

Since my grandson works so hard, the family will naturally try their best to help.

At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Oh, Mr. Liu is back, the Fourth Brother is back!"
