Chapter 22 Save a Life

"Mother, mother, father and brother are back." The five children standing on the hillside in front of Ling's house shouted loudly and danced.

"You're back, where are you?" Yang patted the dust on his body.

"Where is it?" Wuwa pointed to the path outside the door.

So Yang picked up the five babies and walked out of the door.

"Mom, we're back." Ling Yun, who was on the path, saw his mother standing at the door waiting with her five children in her arms, and shouted loudly.

Yang pursed her lips and smiled, but when she saw Ling Daren carrying a large bag of things, her jaw dropped.

When they approached, he couldn't wait to step forward and said, "Dad, it's not a holiday today, why did you buy so many things?"

"Let's go home. We'll tell you more when we get home." Ling Daren pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to be mysterious.

Ling Dashan and others had been waiting for them at home for a long time. After everything was placed on the ground, Ling Dashan slowly spoke: "Da Ren, how are the sales of this stroller today?"

Seeing Ling Daren coming back this time carrying a big bag and a small bag, I thought he would gain a lot.

So as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked what was most popular with the whole family. Except for Ling Yun, everyone held their breath and looked at Ling Daren expectantly.

Ling Daren calmed down and slowly told the story of selling the stroller today.

As time went by, Ling Daren's voice became more and more excited, and everyone became more and more nervous.

When there were five cars left, he told his family that he cleverly raised the price from one tael to two taels per car, and Yang screamed in surprise.

Looking at Yang's adoring expression, Ling Daren always paused at critical moments, not knowing whether it was intentional or not.

Kuo was bragging shamelessly and was startled, causing Yang to scream repeatedly, and everyone present was frightened.

When he heard that the last car was going to be sold for five taels of silver, Yang's breath obviously quickened, his heart tightened, and he clenched his fingers tightly.

"Okay, okay, Daren did a very good job this time." After hearing the whole story, Ling Dashan said three good words in a row and praised Ling Daren without hesitation, saying that he could finally stand alone.

Obviously Ling Daren was a bit embarrassed when faced with Ling Dashan's praise, even though Ling Daren was thick-skinned.

"Dad, thanks to Shiro's help today, otherwise the child might not be able to sell for such a high price." Although Ling Daren boasted shockingly, he was worried that Ling Yun would tell the truth, so he began to

Don’t forget to bring Ling Yun with you.

Ling Yun heard him say panic, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed.

"Okay, it's all your credit, big credit." Ling Dashan affirmed their gains today.

"Dad, apart from the money for shopping today, the rest of the money is here. Look." He took out the wrapped silver from his chest and placed it on the table.

Everyone had doubts about what Ling Daren said just now, but now that they saw the white money on the table, all their doubts disappeared.

Everyone's eyes widened with joy, staring straight at the white silver, fearing that the silver would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Ling Dashan shivered as he counted. Fearing that he might make a mistake, he counted again three times before waving his hand.

"Well, after excluding Daren's 1 tael and 700 coins for shopping today, there are still 24 taels left in total." As soon as Ling Dashan announced the total amount of money, everyone couldn't help but marvel.

"Da Ren, tomorrow you will return the five taels of silver to the eldest brother of the Yang family." Ling Dashan gave five taels of silver to Ling Daren.

"Okay." Ling Daren nodded in agreement.

"Now our family also has savings, so I plan to use ten taels of silver to help Shiro continue his education."

"Not only because Shiro is a boy, but also because without this money, we wouldn't be able to think of this way to make money. Therefore, Shiro is the number one contributor to this family, and these ten taels of silver for studying must be given."

"Secondly, all the money that Shiro was due to get sick must be repaid. Only the money from his in-laws has not been repaid. This time it should be repaid anyway." Ling Dashan said to Yang.

"The remaining nine taels of silver will be saved for emergencies." Over a cup of tea, grandpa allocated the use of the silver.

"Dad, we can have extra food today. My son bought some new flavors today." He said and took out the contents of the bag one by one.

Meat buns, sesame seed cakes, and two roast chickens put a lot of things on the table.

Ling Dashan watched them swallowing saliva greedily, "Eat, why are you standing there?"

With Ling Dashan's permission, everyone started to move, each holding a meat bun in his mouth and holding a sesame seed cake in his hand.

"Brother, brother, you eat too." Wu Wa grabbed a meat bun in his hand, took a bite, and started eating slowly, while not forgetting to let Ling Yun eat half of the meat bun.

"Brother is not hungry, sister will eat." Ling Yun pushed the meat bun in front of her, and the latter started to eat it.

Seeing everyone eating the meat buns, he, who was originally depressed, now had a satisfied smile on his face, and his mood became happy.

Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. Seeing his family members happy makes him feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe this is happiness!

They were satisfied just by eating meat buns. The scene in front of them strengthened Ling Yun's determination to make money.

After eating meat buns and sesame seed cakes to fill my stomach, it was soon dinner time.

For dinner, there were three kilograms of pork, duck, and roast chicken they brought back, as well as vegetables from home, a total of six dishes.

They have never seen so many dishes on their table except during New Years and holidays, so the whole meal was very enjoyable and full of laughter.

Because of the hot weather, everything must be eaten on the same day, otherwise it will be spoiled the next morning.

So much so that tonight, everyone in their family had bulging stomachs. They had never been so full as they were at this moment.

After dinner, Ling Yun told Ling Daren about the reservation for twenty cars. Unexpectedly, when the latter heard this, he immediately became very motivated and started to move around, refusing to listen to any advice.



On the other side, the old man who had received seven taels of silver shocked his son when he arrived home carrying many things.

"Dad, why did you bring so many things with you when you went to the county?"

"Son, my father really met a distinguished person when he went to the county today. Now my daughter-in-law's illness is finally cured."

"Dad, what do you say?" Upon hearing that his wife was more helpful than you, the man's breathing quickened and he asked anxiously.

The old man's name is Wang Chang and he is from Pubei Village, Lingshan County.

He has a son named Wang Zhong who is only 20 years old. He got married the year before last and gave birth to a son last year who is now one and a half years old.

They were originally a happy and beautiful family, but who knew that after the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, she became ill and was bedridden all year round. She has not improved to this day.

His daughter-in-law's illness worsened the situation for his family. Not only did they lose one manpower, but they also had to assign someone to take care of her and the children. As a result, the family could barely make ends meet despite their hard work.

He went to the street today wanting to buy medicine, but he saw a car that could accommodate babies on the street.

I was thinking that if I buy a car for my grandson to sit in, and keep him by his side when the farm is busy, there will be one more person to work.

Hence the scene just now.

"Today I saw a car specifically for babies on the street. I was thinking of buying one. This would make it easier to take care of the child. I could keep the child close to me during busy farming days and have one more person working."

"Is there such a car?" Wang Zhong was very confused.

"Yes, I don't know who the genius is. What he came up with is really amazing."

"Then dad, why didn't you buy one? It would make it easier for us to take care of the little tree."

"You don't know, that little car actually costs 2 taels of silver."

"Ah? Why is it so expensive?" Wang Zhong was obviously shocked by the price of the car.

"Where did I, your father, have to work hard with that young kid to get him to sell it to us for 800 copper coins? Although it is a bit expensive, this money can be spent by one more person to work."

value."

"But who would have thought that as soon as the little brother took the copper coins and before the car was delivered to us, he was interrupted by a man in luxurious clothes. The price was five taels of silver a car and he wanted two cars."

"If that little brother was jealous of money and sold him the car, then we wouldn't be able to buy it. But who knew that the kid was kind-hearted and looked at our poverty, so he refused to sell our car to others."

Wang Zhong was obviously nervous when he heard the man's appearance and offered him five taels of silver. Then he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard he didn't buy.

"The man didn't buy a car, so he had to buy one. He turned around and was about to leave, but the little brother stopped him and said he only had one car, but if he wanted to buy another one, he could buy it from us."

"Then the man opened his mouth to buy from us, and he gave us five taels of silver. Your father and I had seen this battle before, and he was so trembling that he didn't dare to say a word. Who knew that the man added another two taels? When I heard this, I immediately

agreed."

As the old man continued talking, his mouth was already dry, so he drank a bowl of water in one gulp.

"Seven taels of silver, you good man. Look, I bought all the medicine that my daughter-in-law needed. I spent a whole 3 taels of silver. I will let her take it today. I will find a doctor tomorrow. I must take her."

Take a good look."

"Hey, I listen to you."

"Son, you must repay your kindness in the future. He is a great benefactor to our family."

"Dad, my son listens to you and will definitely repay that benefactor in the future." His father's words impressed him so much that he followed Ling Yun in the future to repay today's kindness.

Speaking of what happened to Wang Chang's family, Ling Yun didn't know.

At that time, he just felt that he made enough money that day, and seeing the old man's kindness, he sold it at a low price.

I never thought that what I did not only saved a person, but also saved a family.



At night, when Ling Yun and the others had fallen asleep, Ling Daren looked at Yang lovingly.

"What are you going to do if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Be careful of waking up the children with such a big thing." Yang rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly.

"Madam, what do you think my husband brought you today?" Ling Daren took out a hairpin from his sleeve and carefully inserted it into Yang's head.

Yang's smile was as bright as a flower, she pursed her lips and pretended to be angry, "Why did you spend so much money on this useless thing?"

"How can the things you carry with you be considered useless?"

The two of them chatted for a while, and soon fell into discussing the true meaning of life, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.
