"Elder, quickly go and change your clothes, lest you get sick." Xiaomeng supported Grandma Chen in.
"Hai." The old man's body was no longer the same as it used to be. In the past, picking a bucket full of water wasn't a problem, but now it was different. It was even difficult to get a bucket of water.
After that, it was really a question of how he was going to live his life.
As she thought about it, her grandmother became depressed. She had no one to rely on, so there was nothing to worry about in this world. It would be better to just die in a river.
"Elder, it's fine. Just slow down a little and pick as many as you can. If it really doesn't work, then let me help you." Seeing the grandma's eyes were wet, Tian Xiaomeng thought of something sad and couldn't help but to comfort her.
"Xiaomeng, good children, how can I trouble you with everything?" Xiaomeng's parents were still alive. If she ordered too much, her own grandparents would definitely not let her go. Besides, Xiaomeng was going to get married.
"Elder, my father saved the lives of the young masters from a large family yesterday, and that large family gave us many silver coins as rewards. Father and I thought about surrounding the yard at the back and raising more chickens and ducks, but I am just a girl and I don't know how to take care of them. My father's intention is to ask you to help me take care of them, so I'll give you five hundred gold coins per month." Five hundred gold coins was already a lot for the village, so she didn't dare to give too much. If she gave too much money, then her pair of carefree father's milk would definitely come to create trouble.
"Xiaomeng, if you want me to raise chickens, return the money to me." Grandma Chen looked at Xiaomeng in disbelief. She couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
"Yep, it's fine if you raise some raw chicken eggs or sell them." Tian Xiaomeng definitely couldn't tell others about her plan.
"Of course I'm willing. I come and go alone, and I don't have much use for you guys to pay me wages. Just mind my wife's food." Grandma Chen smiled.
Tian Xiaomeng thought for a moment. "That's fine too. In addition, I'll give you two hundred gold coins. It's feasible for you."
"You, child, can, can. However, the most important thing in raising a chicken and ducking house is a duck house. If you raise more, then you have to hire someone to build it."
"Yes, that's what we were thinking too, grandma. Don't cook tonight, come and eat at my place. It's not convenient for your legs right now either."
"This isn't good." It's not even started yet.
"It's fine, let's go. There are some things that I want to hear from you as well."
As for the ducks, Tian Xiaomeng had temporarily given up on that idea. Raising the ducks was more suitable for being by the water. It was obvious that the current environment did not meet the requirements.
Someone had been asked to build a large chicken coop.
"Xiaomeng, your family is preparing to raise chickens." Ersheng's mother looked at the huge backyard of Xiaomeng's house and asked.
"Yes, my father said that I can't help treat other people anymore. I have to make a living."
"That's true. Chickens are pretty good, but chickens eat a lot of food. I'm afraid it's not easy to raise." In the countryside, every household took a spoonful of grain. When they didn't have rice to boil in, they would have grain to feed the chickens.
Xiaomeng's family was too naive.
"It's fine, I'll take a look." Tian Xiaomeng pouted.
How should she put it? A matter like a career, before you get any results, is fair and reasonable. As for whether it works or not, she doesn't know.
Ersheng's mother didn't say anything else.
After all, this was someone else's problem. If he talked too much about it, he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy.
"Xiaomeng, your family also bought an ox-cart. It feels so grand looking at it." Ersheng's mother turned around and saw Xiaomeng's oxcart.
"Yes, my aunt. Yesterday, my father saved the life of a young master from a large family, who gave him a lot of money." Yes, my aunt, yesterday, he saved the life of a large family, who gave him a lot of money.
"It's good, it's good." Ersheng's mother praised him a little and then said that Tian You had some medical skills, so how could he live his life like them?
However, after half a day, people from Tian Village knew that Tian Xiaomeng's family had bought an ox-cart, and that the ox-cart was even better than those from wealthy families.
The moment the news came out.
There were people who were jealous, jealous, and disdainful.
"Old man, did you hear? He said someone bought an oxcart and it was yesterday that he treated a large family. That family gave him a lot of money as a reward." Mrs. Lee's eyes rolled around as she thought of something.
"Come, let's go take a look. Coincidentally, didn't you say that you want to go to the county tomorrow to pull some clothes? You don't need to take the ox-cart from other families. Let's go take our son's ox-cart." When Tian Zongmin heard this, he felt that it was a good thing.
Their son's oxcart was the same as theirs. If they wanted it, they could use it.
"That's right. Come, let's go take a look." Mrs. Lee beamed with joy. That was right.
The old couple walked over and saw that their son's house was surrounded by a large courtyard. Furthermore, a chicken house was built inside the courtyard. They were wondering what they were going to do when they saw Grandma Chen sweeping the house with a broom.
She didn't go straight into Xiaomeng's house and instead went around to the backyard.
Tian Zongmin went to the side to admire Xiaomeng's new oxcart.
A few of the village's uncles surrounded the ox-cart. Their eyes were all filled with envy. This ox-cart was cheap and expensive at the same time. Not everyone could afford to buy it.
"Uncle Zongmin, this ox-cart is quite impressive. I heard that there was someone who helped treat the patient and gave him money to buy it for Xiaomeng. This ox-cart costs five taels of silver." An uncle of the same race as Tian Youquan said from the side.
"If it was five taels of silver this time, it must have been a lot of rewards. Uncle Zongmin, do you know how much it was?" That was what everyone was concerned about.
He also prepared to raise chickens and also bought an ox-cart. How much silver would be needed to proceed?
However, in their eyes, it would be better to leave such a large sum of money at home than to play around with it. If the chickens were not easy to raise, then it would just be wasting money.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here to buy some to honor my wife and myself. Xiaomeng is just a little girl, what does she want an oxcart for? Don't tell me that a girl like her would be able to show her face outside for three to two days?" Tian Zongmin didn't look too good. Why did Tian Tian send Xiaomeng a cart to buy, but not the two of them?
Xiaomeng was his daughter and he was still his father.
This prodigal son.
He really didn't look like him at all.
She's just a girl, no matter how much you love her now, she's going to get married in the future.
"Uncle Zongmin, why did I hear you say that this ox-cart was for Xiaomeng?"
"Listening to his nonsense, why does Xiaomeng need an oxcart at such a young age? This is for us old couple. Go away, go away, go away! I want to drive the oxcart around the village." Tian Zongmin had already attributed the oxcart to him. As for Tian Youfeng and Tian Xiaomeng, they all stood aside.
