Chapter 129: Comparison Brings Happiness

    

eir eyes.The village head immediately replied, "Right, I had forgotten about that. Our families don't have much grain to begin with. Thanks to your family's help along the way, everyone managed to mak..."Uncle Village Head, you distribute it. We'll listen."

"Yes, there's no problem with food supply. We all agree on that." 。The villagers spoke up one after another, urging the village head, their eyes burning with fervor, as if they wanted to melt the silver. 。The village head counted, there were a total of forty-eight and nine silver ingots in the platform, each weighing five ounces. 。Then he said, "It's still Lao Si and Liu the Head of Escort, plus Qiao's wife and Zhang the doctor..." As soon as he started talking, Mrs. Cui spoke up, "Village Chief, we already received our share of grain just now, so there's no need for silver..." 。Everyone, please take your share. There's no need to calculate Sister Joan's portion. 。"

Qiong's wife also nodded, “I just went in to give the medicine, I didn’t do much." 。"

Zhang Shini also waved his hand, "Yes, I don't want silver either, just food will do. " 。I just made one bottle of medicine, no one went to get it, so what silver are we splitting 。Li Lao Si looked at his mother, seeing her nod, then turned to Liu's wife, who also quickly nodded. 。The two parties reached an agreement, and Li Lao Si said, "Village Chief Uncle, divide the silver equally. As long as those who went to suppress the bandits this time, one by one put in effort and took risks." 。There are also a few brothers who stayed home. They deserve some consideration, after all, they didn't go with us to protect the family. 。" Several people said this, especially Li Lao Si even considered the young and strong who didn't go, which made everyone grateful and happy. They felt embarrassed to take advantage! "Village Chief Uncle, we just went back and forth on foot, thirty or so bandits, we only killed four or five, the rest depended on Fourth Brother and Liu Da Biao head, they deserve more silver 。" Yeah, we were so scared back then, we gathered together and hacked to death a few of them. If it weren't for Fourth Brother and Liu the Head鏢師, as well as Jia Yi and Liu Yang, I'm afraid we would have lost several lives. 。" Those who stayed at home also said, “We didn't go out, so how can we get a share of the silver We can’t take it.” 。"

Wu San Shu even waved his hand, “Everyone went to save our child, I shouldn’t just let them go without thanking them, how can we split the silver I don’t want any!”

The village head and Zhao Shu were overjoyed. The villagers were so united and sensible." 。Seeing the two sides pushing back and forth, the village head said: 。I've decided to split the silver evenly. There were twenty-one of us who went to fight bandits, so that comes to two pieces of silver each. There are still a few pieces left over, and enough to give everyone who stayed home one piece as well. 。"That's how it shall be done!" He began to hand out the silver, and in the end, everyone held a heavy pouch of coins, beaming with delight. 。Even the qiong-sao (a young maid) lifted the corner of her mouth, giving the silver hairpin to Cui's madam. 。Of course, there was also the bag of ransom. The women rushed forward and took back their own contributions just as they had put them in. 。The village head called out to Tao Hongying, "Hongying, you've been taking care of Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen, look through this pile of things and see what's needed at the small cave, pick those out first." 。

As for the rest, you women just keep an eye on things.

"Okay, old man, you guys rest. The rest of us will take care of it." 。Tao Hongying quickly gathered all the women from each household. She first chose a kettle and tea set, a set of pots and pans, a jar of vegetable oil, and some salt, etc. They also took two sets of bedding. 。All the women smiled and watched her choose, then quickly divided up the rest among themselves when she was finished. 。The village head bellowed to the crowd, "All of you go back and rest. Keep a few youngsters at home too, don't waste their silver. Stay up all night and keep watch tonight." 。Let the fourth one and their friends have a good sleep, tomorrow we'll study this thoroughly again. We'll take turns keeping watch from now on. 。" Okay, village head. " 。Everyone responded with a loud roar, hurriedly carrying their own food and belongings back up the mountain cave. 。The Li family's harvest this time was truly bountiful. They earned twenty taels of silver, not to mention nearly four bags of grain. One bag of millet was contributed by everyone, and one bag of sorghum rice was an extra reward won by the fourth son and Jia Yi through their hard work. 。The remaining bag of sorghum noodles and half a bag of glutinous rice were the staple food for more than ten people in the family. The last half bag of fine noodles was to supplement everyone's diet with something good. 。After all, every household's little ones have been following Jia Yin to eat their meals. Those eggs that the Li family "picked up," they haven't missed out on eating them, and they haven't missed any of the congee or white rice porridge. 。Li Laotai was overjoyed, put all the silver and copper coins back, then kissed her granddaughter's cheek. 。"Funiu, did you see that People should be kind-hearted. Good people will always be rewarded, right" Jia Yin hugged her grandmother and kissed her cheek, acting cute and saying, "Grandma, eat jiaojiao!"These past few days, every meal has been sorghum rice porridge mixed with dried vegetables, so thin that you could see through it. Jia Yin's little tummy was shrunken. 。To be honest, Old Man brought food back this time. If he had come back empty-handed, she would have become a monster just to figure something out. 。The old woman was happy, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Let your mother have some wonton soup tonight, and when your third brother comes back tomorrow, we'll eat dumplings." 。" Before the good news arrived, Jiaan and Jixiang, who were listening attentively with their ears pricked up, were already overjoyed. Jiaan shouted excitedly, "Dumplings! Dumplings!" Li Laotai quickly raised her smoking pipe and tapped Jiaan on the head, saying, "What are you shouting about Your father is sleeping!" Jiaan and Jixiang immediately shrank their necks and swiftly climbed down the mountain cave to show off to their other friends.。Every household received their share of food, and they all had a festive spirit. 。Hearing that the Li family was going to make dumplings tomorrow, everyone decided to get up. 。Don't worry about the quantity, just wrap a few to make the children happy. 。In the small cave, Mrs. Cui took the blood letter written by the women of the Guo family and sighed softly. 。"My acquaintance with Madam Guo dates back to our time at the girls' school. After we both got married, we gradually drifted apart and haven't kept in touch." 。"I don't want to, but even now, hearing the news of her death here still feels so cruel..."

Qiong’s sister-in-law quickly urged, "Madam, the Guo family buried everyone properly and left markers. It will be easier to find their remains later" 。We only need to deliver the token to the Guo family, and you will have fulfilled our friendship from our school days. 。" That's right.

It's just... ah, the world is so difficult these days, fortune and misfortune are truly unpredictable. " 。I thought I was already in a terrible situation, but now that I'm here, alive and with a stable life, it turns out things could be worse. 。"I don't want the Guo family to be even more pitiful. It's really..."

Mr. Wen on the side also agreed, "We were also lucky. Otherwise, we might have frozen to death in the mountains."

However, this blood book cannot be given to the Guo family. Just as the villagers say, we must also keep secret about what happened to Mrs. Guo and others. 。But human hearts are unpredictable, so this blood book is best kept as a precaution. 。“ After the sun came out on the second day, a bonfire was lit in the mountain stream again. The village head and Zhao Shu and several others gathered all the able-bodied men and women from the village to discuss important matters. ” 。This time, we lost Goureng. We suffered a huge loss. We must remember this lesson and not think that everything is fine just because it's snowing heavily. 。I'm not saying if there are other bandits in this forest, but I'm saying that after spring, we still have to trek through the mountains. If we stay lazy like this, we'll become useless. Then, we might not even be able to climb a mountain. 。The village head, holding a pipe in his hand and pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, spoke solemnly. 。ad, and told his nephews all about it.This includes the struggles between various aristocratic families in Xin and Shidu, as well as Jia Yin's motives for actively entering the palace.Jia Yi and sever...
