Chapter 9 Jade pendant as money
The best pork is only two cents a pound of silver, and a fat chicken is only four cents a pound of silver. How can such medicines be only one or two taels?
Seeing him surprised, the primary apprentice couldn't help but say contemptuously: "This is not just medicine money. I don't need money to give your son a stamina?"
"This is too expensive. How much can I buy one or two ounces..." Ding Duofu was still immersed in shock and muttered.
The merchants were afraid that they would not earn much money all year round. Ye Kui knew it. When he saw Ding Duofu and his wife found that Xiaojiu was injured, they immediately took them to medical treatment. They were definitely not bad, so he thought about staying in the Ding family for a while. She took off a jade pendant hanging around her neck and stuffed it into Ding Duofu's hand, saying, "Uncle Ding, brother's medicine cannot cost your money."
Ding Duofu looked at the jade pendant in front of him and was stunned: "Such expensive thing, put it away quickly. How can uncle want your things?"
Ye Kui didn't say anything, but just stuffed the jade pendant into his palm, turned his head and ran away.
This jade pendant is of great value, and the red rope connected in series is already white. It should have been worn by the original owner since he was a child, and perhaps an extremely important thing. But for Ye Kui, this jade pendant has no other use except valuable, so it would be better to give Ding Duofu. He took their money and stayed at the Ding family in the future.
After a stick of incense, they left the clinic and prepared to go home.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Mei saw her sister-in-law Xu standing at the kitchen door with her hands: "Oh, sister-in-law, you've been ordering this before you come back. Our family almost couldn't have lunch today."
Mei then remembered that it was indeed her turn to cook today, but it was Xu's turn to cook one day, and she didn't feel like this and that day. In the end, this work was still on her? Now that she would come back a little later, Xu dared to slap her, and she really didn't take her sister-in-law seriously.
She replied expressionlessly: "Jinhua, you said last time that you were not well-off when you borrowed fifty dollars from me, didn't forget it? My family has three more people, and there is no money left. When are you going to pay it back?"
Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly for a while: "Sister-in-law, can I still rely on your money? I'm going to send Chunhai to school recently, so I can't turn around at once."
"Well, just be sure of it." Mei put on the wife's wife's fortune and brought her three children into the house.
The Ding family is in Taohua Village. Because her mother-in-law Ding He prefers the younger ones, Ding Duofu's family lives in a house that is worse than the second and third ones. There are many children in the family, so the land is crowded. She took Ye Kui to the house of her two daughters Chunlan and Chunxi, and then led Xiaojiu to the house of her Dalang Chunjiang. Then, they all became three people and became more crowded.
After urged several children to have a good rest first, she turned around and sighed heavily.
After returning to the house with Ding Duofu, she asked, "How can you collect the child's jade pendant!"
Ding Duofu couldn't help but feel aggrieved when he heard this, "She forced herself over, and the people in the clinic were waiting to check the cash again. Isn't that a solution?"
Mei poured water for herself, and frowned tightly: "Xiaonan said that their parents were dead and had no relatives... Let's rescue the person, what should we do now? Could it be that what Zhenzhao said to send the person away? It's cold outside, and I can't bear it." As she said that, Mei's eyes turned red. Her mother left early, she was raised by her widower father, and she had already suffered enough of her mother's pain. Now she saw those children, she was naturally soft-hearted.
"The situation has been good in recent years, and it is enough to keep three more mouths. Why not just leave someone behind. Ding Duofu sighed and thought that he had collected someone else's jade pendant, so he suggested.
Mei nodded and agreed: "It's up to you."
However, the Ding family has not yet separated and everyone is eating in the same pot. Naturally, this matter is not the final say between the couple. The Ding family has a bad temper and a cunning sister-in-law. The most important thing about this is to ask Lao Ding.
He was kind-hearted. After hearing what Mei and the others said, he sighed a few times and agreed: "The boss discovered these three children, which means that they are destined to be with our family. If you stay, you will only spend a few pairs of chopsticks. Let's stay."
Ding He was so angry that she was furious that she was a lame man when she was born. She had never had a good face to Mei and was not good to her grandson. Now she wanted her to raise three kids who didn't know where to hit her. Of course, she didn't agree. It was not until Old Ding got angry that she agreed cursed.
While a few people were discussing, it started to rain in the sky again.
Ye Kui, who was curled up in the quilt in the room, was carefully raising something into her arms - a half-old book.
Fortunately, after being captured by Lao Hei and others, they did not search their bodies, otherwise they would have been gone. She had seen Xiao Yunniang spread out this book to write things when she was in a normal state, which should be something like diary. If she wanted to understand this world, starting with Xiao Yunniang's diary should be the fastest way, and she has always been resentful of what Xiao Yunniang said at the time of her death.
She turned her back to Mei's eldest daughter Chunlan, and she carefully turned it over-
The third day of April in the sixth year of Xicheng.
Akui is one year old, and it has been more than three months since we left Fengcheng. Morning sickness is getting worse and worse, and I am beginning to be afraid of whether the rushing journey hurts the child in my belly.
More and more uneasy.
...
Xiao Yunniang was indeed not an ancient person. Although the words on paper were written in a brush, they were simplified Chinese.
Ye Kui closed the book, stuffed it back into her arms, and closed her eyes and thought.
Where is the place where Xiao Yunniang, the Ye family and Xiao Yunniang, the man who wrote down the notes in Fengcheng? She had been in this world for a short time and didn’t know where Fengcheng was. With her and Ye Shu, she might not be able to reach it. Moreover, Xiao Yunniang took her young daughter away because her husband married a common wife. The situation was so bad, so she and Ye Shu were probably going back.
