Chapter 27: Scare Zhang Cuilan
After Gu Qingqing undressed, there were seven large silver ingots inside.
"This..." Wen Wuyan looked at the things inside, then looked at Gu Qingqing, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Qingqing quickly explained, "I didn't mean to hide this from you. The day before yesterday, when I went up the mountain with Dahua, I accidentally dug up a ginseng. Firstly, I wasn't sure whether it was real at the time, and secondly, I was still living in the old house at that time, so it was inconvenient to tell you. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but then I thought about it and was afraid that I might have identified the wrong herb and made everyone happy in vain, so I went to the medicine store under the pretext of going to town to buy something. After the medicine shopkeeper looked at it, he said it was ginseng, and then gave me eighty taels."
"Because I need to buy a lot of things, I asked the shopkeeper to give me one tael of silver out of the ten taels. Now, there are only seventy taels of silver left, a little over a hundred coins."
"You actually know ginseng? How did you dig it?"
Gu Qingqing then told the whole story of how she caught the rabbit and found the ginseng.
Wen Wuyan looked at Gu Qingqing's smug expression and couldn't help but praise her, "You are amazing. Not only can you treat my leg injury, but you can also recognize medicinal herbs. I am not as good as you in this aspect. If ginseng was in front of me, I would definitely not recognize it. Can you teach me when you have the chance in the future so that I won't miss it?"
After thinking about it, Gu Qingqing nodded happily, "Okay, I'll teach you when your leg is healed. But there's something I think we need to discuss."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Now that we have money in our hands, should we build a house here to spend the winter? Or buy some land? Or live directly in town?"
Gu Qingqing had just arrived and she didn’t know much about this dynasty, so she needed to hear Wen Wuyan’s opinion.
But from what I learned from books before, it seems that it was more popular in ancient times to buy land and become a local landlord. Having land meant that you could sow seeds and harvest in autumn. Grain was a hard commodity, just like a house in the previous life.
If they live in town, they can also buy a similar yard. She is looking for an opportunity to do something. She believes that with her ability, it will not be difficult to support her family.
We are taking the commercial route.
As for building a house in the village, she wanted to build a house with blue bricks and large tiles, like the villa in her previous life.
Now she has a piece of land at the foot of the mountain, which can satisfy her dream. Of course, if it is the kind of house she wants, her pitiful money will not be enough to waste.
Wen Wuyan didn't rush to speak, but asked her, "Do you have any ideas?"
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Qingqing said, "Why don't we go to town? On the one hand, we can save money on building a house, and on the other hand, we can do something to make a living in town and it should be possible to fill our stomachs."
Wen Wuyan looked at Gu Qingqing for a long time and said, "Qingqing, I don't know much."
Gu Qingqing saw his embarrassment and waved her hand as if it was no big deal. "It's okay. When your leg is healed, just follow my instructions and do the work. But you can also tell me what you think."
Wen Wuyan cleared his throat and said, "If it were me, I would first build three adobe houses, which would cost about ten taels of silver, and use the rest of the money to buy land. All our harvests come from the fields, and only when we have food growing from the land can we feel at ease."
"Huh? Why is it an adobe house? Not a blue brick house?"
"We just built a house and bought land after the separation, which may easily cause gossip in the village. Although we can explain the source of the money, if mother hears some gossip and comes to make trouble, it will be bad for us. If we don't go to the town, we can build an adobe house to live in first, and then we can build a blue brick house after a year. The original adobe house can be used to store things."
"Buying land and not returning it through the village chief? Won't everyone know what they should know by then?"
"We don't have to buy land from our village. We can buy it through the land agent in town, so we don't have to worry about people with ulterior motives causing trouble. Don't you think so?" Wen Wuyan asked.
Gu Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "What you said does make sense. But since we have separated, why do we have to make ourselves feel aggrieved? If they dare to cause trouble and you can't do anything, then let me do it. It's just a quarrel, and it seems that no one can't do it. If you ask me, I'd better go to the town. After all, there are more people in the town and it's lively."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But can you wait? Wait until my leg is healed. If I run into that thug again, I can't just watch you and your daughter get bullied."
"Hey, there's no rush. Just wait until your leg is healed. Otherwise, who can I count on to work for me? Oh, by the way, although we'll go to town after you get better, we still have to live here for a while. Can you find someone to build a shed over the stove? Otherwise, if it rains in the future, we won't even have a hot meal to eat."
"Well, I'm here for this."
After Gu Qingqing had finished telling everything, she wrapped the silver in old clothes and stuffed it under the bed where Wen Wuyan slept in front of him.
This time, it was Wen Wuyan who was a little surprised. "Just, just leave it like this?"
Gu Qingqing patted the dust on her hands, which might or might not exist, and said, "What else? Look, there's only one room. Where do you want me to hide the silver?"
Wen Wuyan choked, then smiled helplessly.
Gu Qingqing immediately drove them all out of the cabin. Halfway through milking Sanhua, she was suddenly stunned.
She lowered her head to look at the bowl, then at her breasts, "Gu Qingqing, why are you being so pretentious? Since you have accepted their family, why do you still care about breastfeeding? Just because you have never been in a relationship before, can't Sanhua drink her mother's breast milk with her own mouth? Should she be implicated by her own psychological discomfort?"
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Qingqing put down the bowl, picked up Sanhua from the crib, and began to feed her.
Wen Wuyan later noticed that her eyes were red, so he leaned forward and asked, "But what happened?"
Gu Qingqing smiled at him and let Sanhua take the blame. "I was feeding Sanhua just now and Sanhua bit me!"
......
That evening, it was Zhang Cuilan who came again. Seeing Gu Qingqing and the others refining lard, she hurried over to help, "Oh, I came by chance. My family was busy on the day you moved, so I couldn't help you much. I'm best at making lard. Come on, Dahua, go to the side, I'll light the fire for your mother."
Zhang Cuilan smelled the fragrance from a distance and was sure that someone was boiling lard, so she hurried over.
Dahua refused to give in and said, "No need, auntie. Mom said I make the best fire. Right? Mom!"
"Well, Dahua is the best at everything. I don't need your help here, just take the things and go back. I only have this little work here, so how can I disturb you to do it? If you do it, Shen Qian will have to give you some greasy residue! My family doesn't have any extra food." Gu Qingqing first praised Dahua and then squeezed Zhang Cuilan.
Gu Qingqing had no intention of letting Zhang Cuilan get involved. Not to mention whether she could help or not, if she took the opportunity to eat some oil residue, she thought it would be better to throw it to Dahei.
Dahei is the puppy she just bought.
Dahua had no intention of moving at all. When her mother said that, she guarded the stove even more closely.
Zhang Cuilan smelled the aroma of lard and began to drool. After Gu Qingqing told her about her secret, she tried to defend herself, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I can only do you a favor and get a little bit of meat from you."
Gu Qingqing smiled at her, and then said to Erhua beside her, "Erhua, go and give your aunt the milk that your mother just squeezed, so that she can go back earlier to feed Xibao."
"Erhua, don't be in a hurry. I came out early today and I'm in no hurry to go back. The stove here is small. Come, let me help you get the basin with oil residue. Nothing can happen to it, otherwise it will be wasted." Zhang Cuilan said as she tried to reach the frying basin next to the stove.
Erhua ignored her and turned to get the bowl of milk.
Gu Qingqing had been watching Zhang Cuilan's movements. Seeing her stretching her hand towards the bowl of oil residue, Gu Qingqing acted quickly. She grabbed Zhang Cuilan's left wrist with her right hand and pulled her hand into the oil pan with force.
But he was shouting, "Sister-in-law, stop it, the oil pan is hot, your hand will be fried off."
"Ahhhhh, let go, let go! Ahhh!" When Zhang Cuilan came to her senses, she saw that her palm was only a palm's distance away from the boiling oil in the pot. She even felt that her hand had already fallen into the oil pan and felt a needle-like pain.
Zhang Cuilan struggled hard to pull herself back.
Seeing that she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled, Gu Qingqing snorted coldly and then let go.
Zhang Cuilan was caught off guard and fell to the ground, saying, "Ouch, it hurts so much."
After his eyes fell on Wen Wuyan, he cursed, "Old Third, are you blind? Can't you see that the woman in your room is going crazy?"
