Chapter 32: I'll Raise My Family

Xiangling didn't know that her act of picking soap horns had caused the girls to follow suit, so when she got home, she boiled the soap in a pot and boiled the soap liquid, soaked it in warm water, and carefully rubbed the satin clothes.

There are still a few pieces of bamboo pieces left in the courtyard wall, and a temporary hanger was made by hand, and the clothes were fished out and draped on the hanger to dry in the shade naturally, and at night, the clothes were dry, and Xiangling filled the bamboo tube with hot water, and rolled in the wrinkled place, and the clothes were immediately smoothed out a lot.

Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "It turns out that there are so many things to do to wash silk!" Those who have money don't bother either! ”

Xiangling said with a smile: "Mother, how can a rich person do his own laundry, and even the soldiers who have a lot of money don't wash their own clothes?" ”

Jiang nodded thoughtfully.

Chu Xia went to the river to carry water and didn't come back, Xiangling sighed and said to Jiang: "Mother, tomorrow Zhou Langzhong will come to the door and give my brother a second look at his legs, my brother is likely to have broken bones and not connected them well, and if he can't do it, he will break it and reconnect ......."

"Huh? Interrupted and reconnected, how much does it hurt?! Jiang sat paralyzed on the kang and felt that the sky was about to fall.

Xiangling hugged Jiang and said, "Mother, I have to pick it up again if it hurts, I don't want my brother to be lame for the rest of his life." ”

Jiang wiped away his tears, straightened his waist firmly, and said, "Pick it up, you have to take it, my mother can make money now." ”

In Jiang's view, it is a big deal to earn more than a dozen dollars every time you wash your clothes.

......

Early the next morning, Xiangling folded the clothes and sent them to He's place, and He Kui sent them to Liuhe Village together.

When he got home, Zhou Langzhong had already arrived, but Chu Xia tied himself to the house, saying that he would not let Zhou Langzhong enter the house to look at his legs.

A few members of the family rubbed their hands together in a hurry outside the house.

Xiangling said to the Jiang family with a dark face: "Mother, you go and find Uncle Changlin!" ”

The Jiang clan hurried to find Ge Changlin.

When Ge Changlin arrived, Xiangling shouted to Chu Xia in the house: "Brother, open the door quickly!" If you can cure your leg, you can't cure it, are you a fool or am I a fool!? ”

Chu Xia nested in the corner of the house, choked up: "Zhou Langzhong told me, I can't get off the kang for more than three months after the leg is reconnected, who will do the work in our family?" The money for treating the leg alone costs three taels of silver, and you have to use good medicine and delicious tonic, will our family drink the northwest wind in the future? Even if I don't cure my leg, I can't die!! ”

Xiangling couldn't persuade her, so she was so angry that she lifted the broken firewood knife and slashed at the crack of the door, slashing six or seven times in a row.

The door was cut open, Xiangling had a gloomy face, pointed at Chu Xia, and said to Ge Changlin: "Hold him down for me!" ”

Ge Changlin was tall and strong, and he could fit one and a half Chu Xia, and quickly restrained Chu Xia.

Xiangling said to Chu Xia with a calm face: "Your leg, you can be cured, and if you don't treat, you can be cured!" Can a living person suffocate urine? Isn't it just a matter of carrying water and chopping wood to earn money? I got it! Later, I will support my family!! ”

Chu Xia's tears flowed down, and he struggled: "Xiangling, I'm my brother, I'm the pillar of our family, I can't ......"

Xiangling said in high spirits: "In the future, the pillar of our family is me, you, honestly cure your legs!" ”

Chu Xia saw that he couldn't twist Xiangling, and pleaded with Ge Changlin, who was pressing him: "Uncle Changlin, I can't get off the kang after I treat my legs, I, I'll go to the thatched house first, right?" ”

Ge Changlin wanted to let go of Chu Xia, but Xiangling held down his arm and snorted coldly at Chu Xia: "From now on, you don't want to get out of this house, eat, drink, and sleep all in the house!" ”

Only then did Ge Changlin understand that Chu Xia didn't want to go to the thatched house, but wanted to urinate.

The man also lost his temper and scolded Chu Xia: "Xiangling is right, you must cure this leg!" I promise you, as long as I have a stutter, I can't starve you mothers! ”

"......" Why did this sound so awkward, Xiangling glanced at the Jiang family and found that Jiang's face was also a little red.

Afraid that Chu Xia would not be honest, Ge Changlin simply came with a bear hug from behind, firmly locked Chu Xia, and said to Zhou Langzhong: "Come on, do it!" ”

Zhou Langzhong only reflected from the horror for a long time, feeling that he was not here to treat the disease, but to kill people and sell goods.

Zhou Langzhong said to the Jiang family: "You lead the children out, although you can chew some hemp grass, but the broken leg still hurts..... You three mothers should not look at it......"

Xiangling let Chu Xia chew and swallow the hemp grass, rolled the towel into a roll, stuffed it in Chu Xia's mouth and said, "Brother, everything has me, don't worry." ”

The three mothers went out and stood silently in the courtyard, and soon there was a burst of screams in the house that were as depressed as possible, but still very heavy, and the three mothers outside the house were red at the same time.

Xiao Xianglian choked up and said, "Sister, big brother must be in pain, right?" ”

Xiangling stroked her sister's little head and comforted: "Although it hurts a lot today, my eldest brother's leg won't be lame in the future." ”

After an hour, Zhou Langzhong left the house with a sweaty face, handed a large package of medicine to Jiang and said: "This is a medicine taken within five days, two pairs a day; Every two days, I come to change the external medicine. Don't forget that you can't go down to the kang, you have to stew more bones and broth to drink, and when you have enough money, buy some ginseng and stew it in the broth. ”

The Jiang family gave Zhou Langzhong three taels of silver, and Zhou Langzhong asked what he wanted to say, but after all, he took it and left the Chu family.

Removing the cure, the Jiang family only had seven or eight hundred copper coins left in his hand, and there was not much flour and salt left at home, so these money could only be exchanged for fifty catties of noodles and half a catty of salt.

Ge Changlin scratched his head and said abruptly: "Sister-in-law, you know that I have loose hands and I haven't saved any money, and there are less than three hundred big money left in the family, all of which will be given to ......."

Jiang shook his head and said: "Changlin, don't help the poor, you have to live by yourself, you have your heart, don't mention borrowing money in the future......"

Ge Changlin was speechless, so he could only secretly decide to hunt more in the future, make up for Chu Xia's food, and let his legs get better soon.

Ge Changlin pushed the door and was about to go out, but He broke in with a cloth bag on his back, and said to Jiang with an angry face: "Da Lanzi, did you wash a satin dress yesterday?" ”

Jiang Shi chuckled in his heart, thinking that something had happened, and asked tremblingly: "Chunmei, yes, I washed it, what's wrong?" ”

He stomped his feet angrily and said, "I knew that it was the little slut surnamed Shi who made it bad!" ”

"Do you want to kill me in a hurry? What's going on? Say it! Jiang was so anxious that his eyes were red.

He knew that he was frightened by the Jiang family, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's Shi Shi, who is in charge of subcontracting, is Shi Chunhua, the niece of my aunt and mother-in-law, she mistakenly divided the noble clothes she was responsible for washing into a set of yours, thinking that they were washed badly, but I didn't expect them to be washed very well, and my uncle was quite satisfied." ”

Jiang took a long breath, laundry is the only income now, if there is another problem, it will really be worse.

He snorted angrily: "Shi Chunhua has already apologized, but Hua'er and her father both think that Shi Chunhua did it on purpose, she is not satisfied with her uncle's father-in-law dividing the laundry work between you and me, and wants to find an opportunity for us to make mistakes and snatch back the work in our hands." ”

Jiang's face was sad, she just wanted to make money honestly, how could she have experienced the twists and turns in this, and her head was too big to hear.

He comforted Chu and said, "Don't worry, with my uncle and father-in-law there, she won't be able to make much waves." ”

He handed the newly picked baggage to Jiang and said, "This time, I saw it, it was all the coarse cloth clothes of the soldiers, the same old ones, and I will send them over tomorrow morning." ”
