Sun Tongpuan waved to several people, "Before Mrs. Li left, she said that some of you want to adopt a child. Have you considered it? How many people have this idea? I will go back to Beijing to find someone to help you find out."

Alian took a step forward and saluted Sun Tongpan and said, "Sir, if possible, I would also like to adopt a child. It doesn't necessarily have to be a boy, a girl will do as well."

Sun Tongpan glanced at the young women and felt uncomfortable in his heart. At a young age, his parents should have taken good care of each other and found a good family to marry him, but at a young age, he was married to those The beasts ruined it.

Sun Tongpan looked at the three girls with pity, "Sister-in-law, do those children have the same thoughts as you?"

Alian looked at the three of them and said to them: "Liu Ye, what do you think? What do the other sisters think?"

Liu Ye and the other three walked out and said shyly: "We also want to adopt a child and don't want to find anyone else."

Alian looked at the six women standing behind, "Xiangxiu, what do you think? Have you made up your mind?"

Xiangxiu and the women looked hesitant, "We want to go back to find our brothers and nephews to adopt."

Sanqiao sneered in a low voice, "If you adopt the brother's family, don't end up losing your place to stay."

The other women nodded again and again, "It's okay if the brothers are not married, but most of them are unreliable after they are married, let alone the nephews."

Sun Tongpan looked at the women who were talking in low voices and said to Xiangxiu and the others: "You can find your brother's family to adopt. Have the others thought about it?"

Sanqiao and the other women responded loudly: "We have decided to adopt one outside."

Sun Tongpuan nodded and said: "Okay, there are a total of twenty-one people who are willing to adopt outside. When I get back, I will ask the officer to go to the orphanage and widow's home to help you keep an eye on it. Sister-in-law, you will be in charge of the village from now on. If you have anything, you can come to Jingzhao Yamen to see me. .”

"Thank you, sir." Alian led the women in saluting.

Sun Tongpan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to thank me. Live a good life in the future. I will report the vacant fields in the village when I go back and find good people to buy them, so that you will not be bullied."

If a kind person buys it, no one can be better than Mrs. Li! Her family was also born in a farmer's family, so wouldn't it be better to buy it from her?

After Alian thought about it, she stepped forward and said, "Sir, the peasant woman has a request, please help me."

Sun Tongpan nodded and said, "You say it."

After A-Lian saluted, she said: "The common woman wants to ask Mrs. Li first after you return to Beijing. The common woman thinks it would be best for her to buy the vacant fields in our village."

It's really good to have Mrs. Li buy it. Their family is also good at farming. Sun Tongpuan nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely ask Mrs. Li first when I get back. If she doesn't want to buy it, I will find someone else."

Alian thanked me happily: "Excuse me, sir."

"Well, I have to go back to Beijing too," Sun Tongpan thought and told Alian, "You are all women, be careful to keep a close eye on the door, and don't live in the thatched hut."

At this time, the scribe came to report: "Sir, the ceremony is ready."

"Okay, have Dr. Xu and Dr. Chen packed up?" Sun Tongpan asked.

The scribe bowed and said, "The two imperial doctors are preparing the medicine and they say it will be ready soon."

Dr. Xu came out of the room and waved to Alian. When they arrived at the door of the room, he pointed to the medicine bag in the basket and said to Alian: "You are literate. Give those medicines to everyone. Remember to drink them on time." Medicine, I’ll come back and show you the medicine in half a month.”

Doctor Chen also told several people, "Hongmei and Cherry's legs must be nursed for a longer time, and medicines should be applied on time. I will come back in half a month."

The women bowed gratefully to the two imperial doctors, "Yes, we have written it down. We have troubled you for so long."

Doctor Xu and Doctor Chen looked at these miserable women and nodded, "Remember to drink medicine and be careful about the door."

"Yes, don't worry we will be careful." Alian nodded in agreement.

Everyone reluctantly sent them to the gate of Zhuangzi. Everyone waved goodbye and stood there watching Sun Tongpan and their carriage gradually go away.

Alian turned to her sisters and said, "Go back! The fields are still busy!"

Xiangxiu glanced at Alian and said, "Sister-in-law Lian, I want to go back and see my parents."

Alian frowned and said, "Xiangxiu, you should wait until the house is built before going back to talk to your parents and brothers about adoption, isn't it good?"

Yang Liu stared at her, "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, your parents were not good to you before. You still have to build a house with your little money. Now you are busy visiting them. I think you don't want to build a house."

Xiangxiu rolled her eyes at Yang Liu, "How do you know I don't want to? No one else can take the money away from my pocket."

Alian looked at Xiangxiu and said, "Let's not talk about your parents. Your sisters-in-law are not good people."

"I, I," Xiangxiu hesitated for a while when she saw the other sisters looking at her, "I just want to go back and see my parents. Don't you miss your parents?"

After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads. Alian looked at them and said, "I don't think so. Why don't you think about it? My parents and three brothers were very good to me when I was a girl. So what? Things in our village have already happened." It has spread throughout Kyoto, and I don’t believe they didn’t hear the news. Forget it, I am no longer the A-Lian I used to be, so let’s not go out and look at people’s eyes!”

Xiangxiu and several other women asked, "What if they don't know about us?"

Alian looked at the few people and said calmly: "You can go back if you want, but there is one thing. There are all widows in our village now. Don't bring your natal brothers into the village."

Xiangxiu looked at Alian dissatisfied, "Why should we listen to you?"

Yang Liu walked up to her and yelled loudly and angrily: "Why do you think so? Mr. Sun will hand over our village to A-Lian's care."

Alian looked at the few people and said sincerely: "We are sisters who are in trouble together. Listen to me, wait until you are busy these days and build the house before you go back and adopt the child. Money attracts people's attention, and I will not harm you." The door."

Xiangxiu muttered in a low voice, "We didn't say you were going to harm us, we just wanted to go back and see our parents and buy something to honor them."

Alian understood that she had money in her pocket and wanted to go back to show off, but it seemed that the money was still to blame.

"I've already said it. If you want to go, just go. Remember not to bring your brothers from your mother's side to the village." Alian turned around and looked at the other women. "Sisters, any of you can go back if you want, as long as you don't bring anyone in." The village is not worried about anything else but that the food and money in our hands will make people jealous."

"Yes! In the past, we were so busy that we couldn't save much food or money. Now, all the Yamen has left for us is rice. We have also set up a female household. We have no more labor and have been exempted from taxes for three years. It's hard to guarantee that others won't be jealous. ." Yang Liu looked at everyone, "But what did you pay for these things? If possible, I would rather eat bran-thick vegetables as before."
