Chapter 16 Father Shen’s Trust
Shen Dongsu handed her ten taels of silver. Just as Jiang was about to take it, he heard Father Shen say:
"Let Dong Su take it. You can take it and leave it at home. The second wife may come and steal it anytime.
The house needs to be repaired, but I'm still taking medicine, and I've also purchased supplies for the winter. Putting the money on Dong Su makes it easier for her to go into town to buy things. "
Now Ms. Jiang was really surprised. Why did her husband trust his daughter so much after he woke up? This is completely letting Dongsu take charge!
He couldn't help but murmured: "She is still a child, how can we give her so much money?"
Father Shen looked at Shen Dongsu kindly and said softly: "My Dongsu is no longer an ordinary child."
Hearing these words, Shen Dongsu's heart beat wildly for some unknown reason, and her eyes dodged towards Father Shen.
What's the meaning? Could it be that the attentive Father Shen discovered something? Did you realize that this body has had its core changed?
Unexpectedly, his next sentence was: "My father is seriously ill, and Lin Zhong sold himself into slavery. Feng is so heartless.
Dong Su, the eldest sister, also had to grow up and take on important responsibilities.
Haodongsu, I have wronged you recently. "
Shen Dongsu smiled awkwardly, so that was what he meant!
Zhu Zhu said softly: "In the past, Dong Su had his father and elder brother to protect him in everything, so naturally he didn't have to worry about anything.
The family suddenly encountered such a difficulty, and Dong Su had the reputation of being a evil spirit on his head, so he had a taste of human kindness.
In the past, I overheard Master's lectures and said that if you don't break it, you won't establish it. Now Dong Su understands the meaning of this sentence.
Don't worry, father, Dong Su will not be wronged.
From now on, Dong Su will honor you well and take on the important responsibility of taking care of the family. "
Mrs. Jiang stood there blankly, feeling the warmth and coldness of human kindness. Does this mean that she is a heartless mother? But I really had no choice at the time!
She couldn't help but shed tears again, but she had always been tough in front of Shen Dongsu, and even now she refused to say a soft word, only said firmly:
"Your eloquence has even improved. You speak in a refined manner. Before, you couldn't even make a sound with a stick."
Father Shen chuckled and said: "That's good, that's good!
Don't worry, you two, even though I have a broken leg, my hands are intact and I can still do carpentry work.
This is a divided family. As long as our family stays united, we will definitely be able to live a good life.
Dong Su, that man surnamed Feng is not a good man, and he is hooking up with Dongyue, so it would be better to break off the engagement.
When your brother returns home, we will ask the matchmaker in the town to arrange a marriage for you. "
"There's no rush, Dong Su wants to stay with his father for a few more years."
There was a harmonious atmosphere in the room, and Shen Dongsu felt the chill on his shoulders getting a little warmer, thinking to himself, is this what you want?
But the coolness didn't disappear completely. It was also a reminder that she still couldn't rest in peace until the person who killed her was found.
The next day, Shen Dongsu was awakened by the sound of livestock. The little black dog barked and rattled the kitchen door, and the big white goose quacked like a rooster in a crowing competition.
Jiang was very happy to hear these sounds, got up in a hurry and went to take care of the animals. When she saw the hen laid two eggs, she was even more happy.
I no longer complained about the disadvantages of family separation, but kept talking about the benefits.
If they were still in the old house, these two eggs would have either been saved and sold, or they would have gone into the stomachs of the second uncle and Qingniu. Even if Father Shen was injured, he would not be able to eat them.
Jiang held the hot eggs, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to boil them and eat them. Father Shen would have one, Zhong Yang would have one, and Shen Dongsu would of course not have a share.
Shen Dongsu didn't want to have breakfast at home. It was just a pot of bean curd porridge with some vegetable leaves and salt paste. She really couldn't eat it.
So early in the morning, I carried a bamboo basket and went to the town to go shopping, accompanied by Jia and Ba.
Zhong Yang originally came to come, but he was worried that the three of them had left, and the second room would come to cause trouble, and there was no one to report the news, so he didn't follow.
Shen Dongsu took note of his younger brother's sensibleness and promised to bring him a gift when he returned home.
The little black dog followed her to the embankment, but she drove her back.
Fortunately, the original owner had the way into the town in her memory, otherwise Jia Shiba would have thought she was a stupid girl.
The first thing you do when entering a town is to find a school.
Jia Shiba was very surprised: "You said you brought a gift to Zhongyang, but did you mean to send him to school?"
“Of course, no matter how poor you are, you can’t afford education, and no matter how miserable you are, you can’t afford to suffer for your children!
Zhongyang is already ten years old. It will be too late if he doesn't go to school. "
Jia Shiba thought of Zhong Yang's excited expression before leaving and smiled:
"He thought the gift you brought him was a roasted chicken leg."
"I'll take the chicken legs with me too, and I'll go to school too."
Jia Shiba glanced at her approvingly, this little girl was quite knowledgeable.
Although he still doesn't understand what his job tasks mean.
"Keep an eye on her and bring her back to Ling Mansion in seven days." This was the task given by Jia Si.
With such a little village girl, are you afraid that she will run away? What are you staring at?
The town is too small, with only one 100-meter-long main street and two narrow alleys. The only items sold are some daily necessities such as food, clothing, and accessories.
I bought two pancakes and took one for breakfast with Jia Shiba. By the way, I asked the boss about the school.
I went to the blacksmith shop and bought a kitchen knife, which was the most urgently needed thing in the Shen family's kitchen.
The price of a kitchen knife turned out to be as high as thirty cents. Shen Dongsu used his talent for bargaining, and even Jia Shiba wanted to cover his face and express that he didn't know the person, but he only managed to cut down to twenty-eight cents.
Painfully, I paid the price, wrapped the kitchen knife and put it at the bottom of the basket, and then went to buy clothing materials. There was not even a clothing store in the town, so I just bought the materials and made them myself.
Aside from Jiang's other abilities, he is still very good at cutting clothes. Shen Dong always picked hard-wearing coarse cotton and bought two pieces for each person, including Jia Shiba's share.
Jia Shiba was a little touched and felt like he was being treated as a family member, so he took the bamboo basket and carried it on his back.
There is no need to buy cotton. Many families in the village have leftovers. Just exchange them for food, which is more cost-effective than buying them at the market.
Buy some bowls and chopsticks, it doesn’t look good to eat in batches all the time.
The most important thing is to buy medicinal materials. This is a big shop, and it is also the only shop in the town where you can spend five taels of silver.
Father Shen's medicine and aunt's eye drops cost a total of twenty-two or eight yuan. There was no way to bargain. The only big drugstore in the town was coaxed by Xiao Erniu. Fortunately, the medicine was not bad.
If she didn't buy it here, she would have to go to Dr. Li's small workshop. She didn't want to deal with Dr. Li for the time being.
Shen Dongsu weighed the two taels of silver he found three times before putting it into his pocket.
After feeling pain for a long time, looking at Jia Shiba, he suddenly thought of a way to save money on medicine, which was to go to Lingfu Pharmacy next time.
When buying food, Father Shen wanted to take supplements. He couldn't eat too much bean sprouts and brown rice, so he bought ten kilograms of polished rice and noodles specially for him.
I bought them all and filled the bamboo baskets to the brim. Finally, he bought a gourd chicken as a gift for Zhongyang.
The only school in town is in the Yaowang Temple in the town. In front of the temple, where Yaowang is enshrined, there is an old Taoist priest who cleans, sells incense and candles, and cooks big pots of rice.
There is a spacious main house with three rooms at the back and three wing rooms with a long corridor. There is an old well in one corner of the yard and two persimmon trees planted in the other corner. This is the only school in the town.
The wing room is where the old Taoist priest lives, as well as a utility room and kitchen. One of the main rooms is where the master lives and serves as an office. The other two rooms have been opened up to become a large classroom.
The smell of incense and candles from the front went straight to the back. The old Taoist priest also raised a few chickens, and chicken droppings were everywhere in the courtyard.
The mountain village primary schools of later generations were better than this!
When Shen Dongsu entered this school, he was a little hesitant, otherwise it would be good to let Zhong Yang learn blacksmithing and making kitchen knives.
