Seeing Mrs. Qiu holding the bowl and about to leave, Lu Shengge raised his head and called out again: "Mother."

"What's up?"

Mrs. Qiu turned around in a hurry, "Does your heart hurt again?"

"no."

Lu Sheige took out the two hundred taels of silver from the pillow and pushed it to Qiu, "Dad gave this to me. Mom, please keep it."

Seeing the familiar package in Lu He's singer, Qiu's face changed color. She glanced outside the door in panic, then hurriedly stepped forward and knocked down the curtain.

The room suddenly became much darker, but the light from the roof and walls still made this small shack not look dark.

"This money... this money is for you to take medicine..."

Mrs. Qiu held down the small parcel wrapped with silver and stuffed it under Lu Sheige's pillow in a panic, "Silly boy, you can't show this silver to others."

With so much money, it would be terrible if it fell into the eyes of others.

She doesn't think that the people here in Ye Pier are all bad people, but she can't be prepared for bad people's hearts. If she falls into the eyes of others, she can't guarantee whether their people's hearts will become bad.

This is not two taels of silver, but a full two hundred taels.

She had not slept well for several nights while holding it in her hands.

Lu Quan dug a hole in the ground and buried it, and she had to step on it every day, fearing that someone would see something wrong.

"mother."

Lu Sheige didn't have the strength to argue with Mr. Qiu, so he could only press the rough palm of the woman in front of him with one hand, "It's not appropriate to put so much money on a child."

"So inappropriate? This is your money. If you're afraid of losing it, I'll go back and exchange it for you with a banknote."

The more he talked about it, the more Qiu thought it was appropriate, "Yes, change it to a banknote. Mom will ask your father to make a bracelet for you, and then the banknote will be stuffed into the bracelet."

When Mrs. Qiu was in her natal family, her family was pretty well off.

Even the Lu family originally had dozens of acres of land, but unfortunately everything was lost due to a flood.

Their fields and houses were submerged under the water of Honghu Lake, and it was difficult for them to see the light of day again.

"I'm still young, so it's better for my mother to keep this money."

Lu Sheige is indeed young, but in Qiu's eyes, she is not the little girl in the family.

If Xiaoqing, Xiaoli and the others had these two hundred taels of silver in their hands, she would really not be able to sleep day and night.

But Xiang Ge is different, she is the child of Master Lu.

The Lu family is not said to be built up of mountains of gold and silver, but the Lu family is a large family in Dongyang County, and most of the fertile farmland in Dongyang County belongs to the Lu family.

Two hundred taels of silver is indeed unthinkable in the eyes of poor people like them, but in the eyes of the Lu family, it probably means nothing.

"But……"

Before Mrs. Qiu could refuse, Lu Sheige continued: "Mom, you see this shack is leaking from all directions, and uncles and aunts come in and out every day. It's not appropriate to leave this money here with me."

Everyone in the dock knew that the Lu family's son, who was raised by the Qiu family, was seriously ill and was sent back.

They didn't know whether Qiu's family was good or not, but if they sent a seriously ill child back and ran away without even stopping, they must have a guilty conscience.

It was just pitiful for Lu Quan. He sent his good child to his in-laws' family, but he returned a sick child who almost died.

Even though the fishermen in Ye Pier are all poor, they have been in the same boat through thick and thin over the years, and they are no different from brothers.

When the children of the Lu family come back, they, the uncles and aunts, always come to see them. Even if the family is poor, it is still okay to bring two wild duck eggs or a handful of stick noodles.

After delivering something, always come in and take a look at the child.

The Lu family shack has not been empty in the past few days. People come and go, and it is more lively than the dock at the gate.

Qiu also hesitated after hearing what Lu Xiangge said.

If this money is really given to Xiaosi, she is still a child, and maybe she will be exposed.

Even if she could exchange the banknote, Ms. Qiu still felt uneasy.

Now, rebels from all over the country have risen up one after another, and no one knows whether the court can remain stable.

If...if the dynasty had changed, would the banknotes we exchanged be still useful?

Otherwise, should she put it away?

At worst, let Xiaoqing and her father dig another hole and bury it in the ground.

Seeing Mrs. Qiu's hesitation, Lu Sheige couldn't help but push the package containing the money to Mrs. Qiu: "Mom, I told dad about this, and dad agreed."

When Qiu heard that Lu Quan had agreed, she felt depressed.

"Then, will you keep that mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Qiu thought for a moment, then took out a silver coin from the package and handed it to Lu Sheige, "Do you want to keep a silver coin with you?"

Lu Sheige hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No, mother, if I need money, I'll ask mother to get it."

It's not that she doesn't want to have some money in her hands, so that she can do whatever she wants when the time comes.

But Lu Sheige also thought that he had a dark eye on this world and didn't understand anything, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Even if you want to make money, you can't try your luck with the money. If it falls into the eyes of a caring person, your life may not be safe. It's better to accumulate it slowly from little to more.

"That's okay too."

After hearing that Lu Quan also agreed to keep it for her, Mrs. Qiu felt slightly relieved.

Before Mrs. Qiu could collect the money, Lu Xiaoli's voice came from outside the shack: "Mother, mother..."

"Coming, coming, call the soul!"

Ms. Qiu hurriedly stuffed the package under Lu Sheige's quilt, straightened the quilt carefully, then took a deep breath, licked the strands of hair at her temples, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Did you sell your fish?"

"It's sold, not a single one is left." Lu Xiaoli's voice was full of joy, "Mom, I sold it for an extra penny. Can you share this penny with me?"

"What a beautiful thought."

Mrs. Qiu mercilessly grabbed Lu Xiaoli's purse and said, "You can share the copper coins with me. From now on, you will earn your own money to support yourself. Don't expect me to feed you and clothe you."

"Mom... I just asked, but I didn't really say I wanted it."

Lu Xiaoli was afraid that his mother would continue to nag, so he hurriedly called out to Lu Xiaoyu, who was accompanying Lu Xiaowu in the cabin, "Xiaoyu, I saw a big piece of ammonium grass on the river beach, do you want to eat it?"

Soon, Lu Xiaoyu's footsteps sounded on the board of the boat, and the two ladies, regardless of whether Qiu was happy or not, went hand in hand to find ammonium grass.

Listening to the conversation between Qiu and Lu Xiaoyu outside, Lu Sheige touched the silver coin that Qiu had stuffed under the quilt with his leg and smiled silently.

She didn’t know why, but even though they had only been together for a few days, she knew she liked this family very much.

Maybe it's because their whole family can give her a feeling of being at home!

When the two girls were gone, Ms. Qiu entered the shack while complaining. She also wanted to hide the money Xiaosi gave her while the three girls were not at home!

After taking the hot silver, Mrs. Qiu thought about it and finally took the shovel and dug a hole in the shack just like Lu Quan had done when he hid the silver. He divided the two hundred taels of silver into two.

One hundred taels were put into a jar and buried in the ground.

The other one hundred taels were wrapped in leather and sent to the ship, where they found a place to hide.

When Mrs. Qiu turned around and asked Lu Quan why she agreed to let her keep the money for her child, Lu Quan thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember when she had agreed.
