Chapter 79 Body Search

Erlang lowered his head and did not look at Sun's face, which had become a little haggard due to worry, dissatisfaction, exposure to wind and sun, and getting up early and staying late:

"I asked people in the village that Zhou Yunniang had already let go of the news in the village - she couldn't leave her young children with her elderly mother-in-law, so she couldn't remarry.

The best she can do is recruit a son-in-law who comes to her. If she doesn't have that intention, stop harassing her as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame her for being merciless and beating him out with a big broom."

Sun was even more puzzled:

"In this case, you still say you want to marry her? Are you not posing a problem for her?"

Erlang smiled and said nothing, his lowered eyes covering the waves in his eyes.

Sun suddenly thought of a thought and couldn't help but become more surprised:

"Erlang! Don't scare me!

Mom is getting older now and can’t bear it anymore!

We are going home soon. If you are grateful to her for taking good care of you these days, it will be okay for your mother to leave her some more money.

You must never say anything about marrying her again!"

Erlang nodded slightly and did not say anything else, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Sun asked Taohua to pack her things, and asked Sanlang to look at Erlang. He got up to find Granny Qu and Zhou Yunniang to settle the rent. The moment she turned around and left, Erlang raised his head and looked at Sun's back. , said in a low voice:

"Of course I want to marry her."

However, the volume of these words was very low.

If Xia Daohua didn't have particularly sharp ears, she might have ignored it.

She glanced at Erlang, who also glanced at Xia Daohua with a smile: "Daohua, come here."

Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Erlang rarely asked him to do anything, he basically asked Sanlang to do his bidding.

She raised her eyes and saw Taohua packing her luggage. Sanlang ran to the door to eavesdrop on Mrs. Sun and Granny Qu.

Could it be that Erlang didn't want to expose Sanlang?

She suppressed her doubts and approached Erlang: "Brother Erlang, do you want to go to the latrine?"

Erlang chuckled: "Of course not."

Immediately afterwards, Erlang lowered his voice very low again:

"No, this is for you. Don't refuse, it will be bad if they see it."

Xia Daohua took it and found a purse that was heavy and a little heavy on her hand. The embroidery was very beautiful, and she was sure that this purse had nothing to do with her.

Erlang said with a smile:

"Good girl, put it away quickly and don't let anyone snatch it away. If you like to read it, just take your time when you get home."

Xia Daohua smiled: "Okay."

The purse that was originally held with the palm facing up suddenly disappeared as soon as the little hand turned over.

Xia Erlang's eyes widened in surprise, while Xia Daohua tilted her head and smiled playfully.

Mrs. Sun had been cruel for a long time, but in the end she was not willing to give Zhou Yunniang another one tael of silver. She only settled the rent for these days and gave an additional two hundred copper coins.

Just this was enough to make her facial expression distort in pain.

When Erlang left, Zhou Yunniang didn't come out. She stayed in the kitchen busy with something unknown.

Granny Qu came out with her eight-year-old granddaughter and stood at the gate of the courtyard to see her off.

Erlang was lying on the cart pulled by the old mule, with three layers of thick mattresses spread under him, and a large and thick quilt covering him.

In fact, he was wearing a new quilted spring shirt made for him by Zhou Yunniang.

The fabric is new, soft and comfortable, and the size fits well.

Ordinarily, in the current weather, wearing this kind of clothes, as long as he covers it with the wool felt that Xia Daohua gave him, it will be enough to protect him from moisture and cold.

But since Mrs. Sun was making arrangements like this, Xia Erlang just let her go.

The luggage and other things were placed in the car. Sun, Taohua, Sanlang, and Daohua were all walking on the ground following the footsteps of the mule. When they got tired from walking, several people could take turns to go to the car to rest.

Erlang's injury has only stabilized, and he is not recovering well, so Sun doesn't dare to walk too fast.

It took a short walk of four days when we came here, but it took us a full six and a half days of walking back.

After sending Erlang home, he went to the carriage and horse shop in the town and returned the mules and cart. Mrs. Sun was absolutely exhausted.

Although this carriage was rented from Granny Qu and his friends from a nearby town, the two carriage shops belonged to the same company.

Mrs. Sun found the carriage and horse shop, exchanged the deposit slip for the deposit, and after settling the rental fees for the mules and carts, she had less than two taels of silver left on hand.

Ms. Sun has been racking her brains to save money these days and has been living a tight life. Unfortunately, even though she tried every means to save money from herself and her children, the money also flowed out like running water.

, no matter how much I search, I can’t keep it!

When she thought about having to face Xia Yougui's nose that was no longer a nose and a face that was no longer his face after she returned, she felt as if her heart was heavy, as if a big, heavy stone was pressing down on her.

Mrs. Sun sighed secretly, if she brought such a small amount of money home, she would definitely have to eat Xia Yougui's meal.

Calculating the inside and outside, the loss is too great!

It would be better to just give Erlang the one tael of silver as commission money!

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou had promised to pay the second house ten taels of silver in front of everyone. She had to think carefully about how to repay the old lady.

Oh, the old lady is so amazing!

If it weren't for the spy Xia Daohua, she wouldn't be able to repay the debt however she wants.

Now, Mrs. Sun couldn't help but grit her teeth with hatred - not only did she have to carefully arrange a proper place for every penny, but she couldn't tell Xia Daohua, it was too different...

Why is it so difficult to cleverly get some money out of an old lady's hand?

Full of complaints, Mrs. Sun returned home in disgrace.

Erlang has been placed on the kang in the second room.

Xia Yougui came out immediately and personally touched Erlang's body from head to toe.

Xia Daohua froze on the spot in shock.

She didn't miss the disgust on Xia Erlang's face, nor the greed on Xia Yougui's face.

She seemed to understand why Erlang hurriedly handed over the purse embroidered by Zhou Yunniang to her for safekeeping before returning.

Xia Yougui took out a small bag from Erlang's body. It was sewn with some old cotton cloth that had suffered a lot. Judging from the rough stitching, Xia Erlang should have sewn it himself.

There were about ten copper coins in the small bag.

Xia Yougui cursed and walked away with the small bag.

He turned a blind eye to the grievance, disgust, and anger on Xia Erlang's face, and had no interest in paying any attention to his niece Xia Daohua, who stood aside and watched the whole process stupidly.

Xia Daohua glanced at Xia Erlang sympathetically, but found that the expression on his face had disappeared. Now he was calm, and even calm, there was a hint of joy.

Xia Daohua didn't know what to say, but perhaps Brother Erlang didn't need her sympathy.

From the moment he handed the purse to himself, or even earlier, he had already thought about what to do next, right?'

"Daohua", Xia Erlang suddenly said with a smile: "Your sister Taohua told me something."
