The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

After dinner, Yang Mo, Yuan Mo and Grandpa continued to study the carriage in the yard.

Zhou Yue and Qian went back to their room and whispered to each other.

Qingmo took Chunniang to check the accounts.

When Qian and Zhou Yue were talking about the crucial point, they heard Qing Mo calling for his mother repeatedly.

Everyone was so scared that they ran to the house where Zhou Yue and the others lived, thinking that something had happened to Qingmo or Chunniang.

Qing Mo was seen holding a piece of paper, not caring about the ink splashing, standing on the ground shouting and laughing happily, without wearing shoes.

Ugh, this crazy girl.

The driver was too embarrassed to go into the house. Old Man Ning couldn't walk and couldn't go in. Yuan Mo was about to carry his grandfather on his back when Yang Mo came out.

Only then did I realize that it was Qing Mo who had figured out the account.

Since there were outsiders around, Yang Mo smiled and winked at his elder brother and grandfather, but didn't say anything specific.

It seems that I made money this time.

The driver tactfully went to touch his own stubborn donkey, as if he didn't notice the family's joy.

It is common sense not to show off your wealth.

After a while, seeing that Mr. Ning had almost finished studying the donkey cart, the driver said goodbye.

He walked out of the Ning family's gate, looked back, and a trace of resentment that was barely noticeable appeared on his face.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions, got on the donkey cart, waved the whip, and drove away.

The driver left and Yuan Mo quickly closed the door.

Yuan Mo carried his grandfather into the east wing. Qing Mo had calmed down and was sharing with Zhou Yue.

Hearing his grandfather enter the house, Qing Mo hurriedly took the paper and followed Zhou Yue into the east wing.

Zhou Yue smiled and said, "Dad, Qing Mo has made a lot of progress. He made money from selling fish this time."

“Yes, Grandpa, I made money, I can pay the fine myself.

Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about the money for leg treatment anymore.

Grandpa, I will make money now."

Qing Mo actually choked up as he spoke the last part.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Qingmo is strong-willed. Although she likes to cry, she seldom cries in front of others.

In this world, she is under tremendous pressure.

Being a woman has a hard life to begin with. If she is unmarried at an older age and has to work as a businessman, it will be even harder for her to get married.

Although she was determined not to marry in this life, she was always a little uneasy in her heart.

I was afraid of the gossips of the villagers, I was afraid that my family would dislike me after a long time, I was afraid of being a burden to my family, I was afraid...

Now that she can earn money, she won't be so afraid anymore. At worst, she can start her own business and support herself.

In the future, I can adopt a child under my name to silence the gossips and live a peaceful life.

Old Man Ning broke the silence: "Okay, stop crying. You are such a grown-up now.

Doing business as a businessman is not something you can do just by crying.

Choose your own path, walk it yourself, and don't regret it later.

We will always support you.”

These few words may seem simple and plain, but they actually give Qing Mo great support and encouragement.

Qing Mo burst into laughter and said, "Grandpa, guess how much we earned today?"

Old Man Ning rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and tell me, don't make fun of me."

Old man Ning has become much more playful since his leg got better.

"Today I made a total of 807 coins."

Uh, I thought I made a lot of money.

But it's not a lot.

Everyone was very happy. By this calculation, going to the market six times a month would mean nearly four strings of cash, and nearly sixty strings of cash a year.

The family's annual fixed expenses were Qing Mo's fine of five taels of silver for not getting married, Xuan Mo's twenty taels of silver for maintenance, and about three taels of silver for food, clothing and other expenses for the whole family.

Now we have to add in the cost of Old Man Ning's medicine. He needs to buy a chicken every day. A big rooster costs about three hundred coins, which means nine strings of coins per month, and a year's cost is... uh, it shouldn't take more than a year to treat.

Even if the treatment lasts for half a year, it would cost about fifty strings of cash.

At present, it seems far from enough.

But there is no need to worry. First, the family has some savings because of the reward given to Zhou Yue by the government.

The second is Qingmo’s business, which has just begun and will get better and better in the future.

Everyone was very happy and decided to stew the chicken in the evening.

Only the leg bones of the big rooster were used. A few were eaten at the beginning, but later Qian stopped allowing people to eat them every day and just hung them in the kitchen to make cured chicken.

I bought five big roosters at the market today. The chicks at home have just grown to half a pound in weight, so they will probably be useful until next year.

However, they have fish offal to eat every day, so they should grow quickly.

After dinner, Qing Mo and Chun Niang went to settle the accounts, while Yang Mo and Yuan Mo dealt with the wood.

Because they had to make wheelchairs and donkey carts recently, every time they went to work on the dry land, they would chop some wood and bring it back along the way.

Just accumulate it slowly and you don’t have to go to the mountains to cut wood.

Yuan Mo hadn't been to the fields for several days. That morning, he got up early and went to the fields alone to check.

When he came back, he met the village chief, who said that the teacher from the county school asked Xuan Mo to go for an interview at the end of the month.

When he came back, he met Xuan Mo who was about to go out to school, so he told him.

Xuan Mo didn't show much joy, he just said "oh" and left.

Hasn't he always been looking forward to going to the county school and passing the imperial examination like his father? Why does he seem unhappy after hearing the good news this time?

Yuan Mo was curious and thought about asking him when he came back in the evening.

Then he took Dao Ge and Jun Mo, who came to send Xuan Mo off, back home.

The next day, Doctor Yang came. He first took Old Man Ning's pulse and touched his injured leg.

After washing his hands, he said he felt much better.

Then he saw a chair placed under Old Man Ning's kang.

"What is this?" he asked curiously.

"Oh, this is a wheelchair made by my granddaughter and I."

"Wheelchair? What is that?"

"Yes, it is the kind of car that Zhuge Liang and Sun Bin rode in.

It was my daughter-in-law who suggested it. She said she wanted a wheelchair.

We are thinking about trying to make it so that I can go out more conveniently. "

"Oh, she has a lot of wonderful ideas. I wonder which book she read this time.

Uh, why is the wheel so big?

"It's so that the person sitting on the wheel can push the car to move, so the wheel has to be higher, like this, and it can be turned by hand."

Old man Ning gestured with his hands at his sides.

"Oh? It's not uncommon to see people with poor legs and feet riding in cars. They have wheels and can be pushed by someone else, but this is the first time I've seen a car that pushes itself."

"Yes, she mentioned this idea, and I also think it is interesting. If people with bad legs can push the wheels forward by themselves, then they don't need someone to serve them specially, and they will have a lot more freedom, which is very convenient.

By then, not only me, but other people with leg disabilities will be able to ride in such a car and go out for a walk whenever they want.

Even if they can go out and do some work that doesn't require their legs, I don't know how many people will have a livelihood and more chances to survive.

So my granddaughter and I thought about making it.

When my legs get better in the future, I can give them to others and get a thank you.”

"Tsk tsk, old man, it's more than just gratitude, it's like I'm your second parent.

If you make it, please let me see it.

If it works well, I will ask my other patients to order it from you.

Maybe it’s a business.”
