"That's right, the meat doesn't smell good at all." Mrs. Gao was also enjoying her meal enthusiastically: "Hurry up and eat, don't let Ersheng and the others see that we cooked meat."

A little girl ran in and saw Mrs. Gao and Tian Gouwa eating together on a plate of meat. She couldn't help but cry out, "Grandmother, you and Eldest Uncle are actually stealing meat from the kitchen."

The one who spoke was a little girl, she looked like she was 6 or 7 years old, it was Ersheng's sister.

"Erya, what are you crying for? Come here, don't cry, don't cry, I'll give you some meat to eat." Mrs. Gao did not panic when she saw that it was Erya, her own granddaughter.

"No, I'm going to tell my brother and mother." Erya ran.

"Ai, ai, damn brat, come back here." Mrs. Gao wanted to catch up to him, but seeing that Goudan was stuffing meat into his mouth, she was afraid that he would eat it all, so she gave up.

"Mom, hurry up. Ersheng and the others should be back soon."

"I'm back! Can it be that I can't even eat meat?" Mrs. Gao suddenly became unyielding.

In the end, she was still able to make decisions in this family.

The family was her son's, so why couldn't she make the decision?

Tian YouFa carried the straw and fed the cow back home.

"Xiaomeng, why did you buy meat again?" Seeing Xiaomeng in the kitchen, simmering down on the bone from yesterday, Tian Youzi sighed.

"Dad, this bone is cheap, I saw it today so I bought more." She had bought it from Su Yuzhe's house on the way back to Tian Village. The bones that she had bought by herself were truly worth a lot.

Twenty cents for a pile.

"Whatever, just like it. In the future, we'll buy more bones." It wasn't that his heart ached, it was just that he felt that his bones were unnourished.

"Dad, that doctor is still not here today. I don't know when he'll be back. My mom has been drinking medicine for an entire day, do you feel any better?"

"She seemed to have sensed something when I spoke to her. I think your mother should be able to wake up by now." When Tian YouFa fed Mrs. Liu medicine at noon, he did indeed see her eyelashes move a few times.

However, he didn't know how much longer he would have to wake up.

"Should I let mother eat some snake gall?" Tian Xiaomeng asked.

Tian Youfeng pondered for a moment before shaking his head, "Let's wait for another two days."

Tian Xiaomeng said nothing more. The father and daughter duo busied themselves in the kitchen.

What Tian Xiaomeng was thinking about was how to buy a carriage with her silver taels, and how to do so without being surprised by anyone else. She was afraid that she would have to travel to the county for a long time, and it was not a long term plan if she didn't have a carriage or an ox-cart at home.

"Dad, do you know how much money it would take to buy an ox-cart?" Tian Xiaomeng decided to scout first.

"I can buy a calf for two taels of silver. I'll be able to stay at home for a few months, and then I'll be able to work in the fields." This was the most common practice for everyone. Buying an adult cow was not worth it, not to mention, it was hard to tame.

"Like a horse."

"Horses are more expensive, horses are worth about 4 taels of silver, mature horses are worth about 5 or 6 taels of silver, but very few people buy horses in the village, so it's hard to raise them, not to mention in the fields." This was true. The cattle were easy to feed. He could put them in the mountains or in the fields and come back after he had eaten his fill.

The horses were different, they were more charming. Other than running along the road, they could not be farmed. No one had the money to raise a horse.

Tian Xiaomeng nodded her head. The peasants' words were always truthful. Everything prioritized their work in the fields.

"Dad, today I heard from the pharmacist that he was collecting some herbs. I thought about going up the mountain tomorrow to gather some herbs to take to the pharmacist. If I were to exchange them for silver, it would be good for my family."

The original owner died while he was picking herbs.

The original owner usually worked hard in the fields, so he would often help Tian to send some herbs.

Now that Tian Youfeng couldn't go out to see him, he had no choice but to buy the medicinal herbs for the pharmacy.

"Alright, I'll go with you." Tian Fa thought for a while and said.

Tian Xiaomeng nodded. Tian You's wounds had almost healed. Other than not being able to do gravity work, it was still possible to climb a mountain.

Before the dinner was ready, a howling sound could be heard.

Tian Youfeng stood up with a pale face.

Tian Xiaomeng frowned. "It seems to be from Elder Brother Ersheng's family."

"Xiaomeng, I'll go take a look." As Tian Chanzi listened to the commotion, he guessed that Ersheng's granny had caused quite a commotion.

"Dad, it's best if you don't go. It's most likely because of that piece of meat." It must have been Ersheng who said his grandmother shouldn't have taken the piece of meat their family sent over, and Lili took advantage of it.

"Hai." "Xiaomeng, Ersheng has helped our family a lot. You have to thank him in the future." In those few days when something happened to their family, if it wasn't for Ersheng running back and forth between the Tian Village and the county, Xiaomeng's injuries wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

"Father, I know."

The noise from Ersheng's side of the house grew quieter and quieter until there was no sound. A moment later, they heard a knock at the front door, and Tian Youquan went to open it, only to see Tian Ersheng standing in the doorway.

"Uncle Fa." Tian Ersheng shouted.

"Ersheng, come in."

"Is Xiaomeng asleep?" A look of unease flashed across Ersheng's face.

"No, come in and take a seat." Tian Youfeng invited Ersheng into the house.

"Elder Brother Ersheng, have you eaten? We still have some rice at home, let's have some here." Lili asked when Ersheng came in.

Tian Ersheng stood there with an embarrassed look and moved his lips, "Uncle Fa, Xiaomeng, my milk is too small for her, don't share the same experience with her. Also, we are neighbors and villagers, so we don't think too much of each other. My milk is my milk, and I am me."

He asked where the meat came from, and after a long time of mumbling, he said it was Tian Xiaomeng who used their cart and ate a piece of the meat they gave her.

"Elder Brother Ersheng, I know that when I need to use it in the future, I will not hesitate to ask. We all know that an old man like you would give me a headache sometimes." Elder Brother Ersheng, I know that when I need to use it in the future, I will not hesitate to ask. Tian Xiaomeng joked for a while.

Hearing this, Tian Ersheng heaved a sigh of relief. Remembering what Xiaomeng's grandmother had done, it was indeed more excessive than that.

"This old man's actions are really frustrating."

"That's right." Tian Xiaomeng smiled.

"Sure, you guys can just use the car to talk to me directly. Don't worry about them." Tian Ersheng scratched his head. One or two people who were so lazy at home had caused so many problems.

"Alright, I know, I won't be polite. Speaking of which, I still need to go to the county the day after tomorrow. I might need to make a trip back then." Xiaomeng said.

"Xiaomeng, you're going to the county the day after tomorrow …" Tian You was stunned. Didn't he just come back from the county? Why did he go again?

"Alright, you can use the ox-cart as much as you want." Tian Ersheng was relieved that Xiaomeng didn't take it to heart. He returned to his room after exchanging a few words of greeting.

"Xiaomeng, do I still have to go to the county the day after tomorrow?" Tian Youzi asked.

"Dad, I'll go to the pharmacy today to ask for the price. Tomorrow, I'll go up the mountain to gather some herbs to send to the pharmacy the day after tomorrow to exchange for some silver, so it'll be good for the family."

"Alright, then Father will be with you tomorrow." Tian YouFa nodded his head. As a teacher, he was extremely clear about the medicinal herbs.
