"Really?" Shen Bingning opened her eyes wide, "Is this such a good thing? You can have a house to live in even if you don't have money?"
"Yes," the old woman smiled, "our village is a little poorer, but the people are very nice, so you can feel free to stay here."
Shen Bingning kept nodding, "Live, of course I have to live." It happened that she really didn't have much money, so the old woman called her granddaughter-in-law, who was also a young woman in her twenties. She was very polite.
The old woman said a few words, then she nodded and took Shen Bingning to the house of the moved family.
The house is old, not big, and the door is broken. However, it looks pretty good inside. There is a bed, a table, and all the pots and pans in the kitchen. She is very satisfied with this house.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Lin," she kept saying thank you. This gift is indispensable. The village chief's family name is Lin, and the daughter-in-law of the village chief's grandson is older than her, so it is best to call her Mrs. Lin.
"It's okay, it's just an empty house. You don't need to be so outgoing. It's not easy for everyone to be away from home," Mrs. Lin said politely.
Shen Bingning put down her baggage, took out her money bag, and took out a bunch of copper coins.
"Sister-in-law Lin, can you do me a favor?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded, "Just tell me, as long as I can help, I will help you."
Shen Bingning put two strings of copper coins in her hand, "Sister-in-law Lin, I'm from a foreign country. I don't know anything or anyone here. Could you please help me buy some quilts or something like that?"
"Okay, okay," Mrs. Lin patted her chest as soon as she heard this and assured, "We are going to the town in a while, so I can help you bring some with you. But, these copper coins..." She lowered her head and looked at
Holding a bunch of copper coins in his hand,
"Isn't it enough?" Shen Bingning picked at her baggage again, wanting to take out some more.
"No, no," Mrs. Lin shook her head quickly, "That's enough, there's more."
That's good. Shen Bingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have much left now, so there were still a lot of things she hadn't bought. By the way, she thought about it and gave it to her with the remaining money in the bag.
Mrs. Lin said, "Sister-in-law Lin, help me buy some more needles and threads. I have this much. If there is still some left, buy some food for the child. Otherwise, I will be really embarrassed."
Mrs. Lin felt embarrassed after saying this, so she took the money and returned home, saying that she must deliver what she wanted before night.
Shen Bingning then looked at her new home. The yard was large and she could grow some vegetables and so on. Although the house was old, it could be sheltered from wind and rain without any problem. The furniture inside could be used.
However, because no one has lived there for a long time, there is a layer of soil on the simple furniture.
Okay, let’s start cleaning. She rolled up her sleeves and ran to the well in the yard. She looked down and saw a small bucket inside. Although she had never seen this before, it was often seen on TV.
, it shouldn’t be difficult. She lifted the bucket up, threw it down hard, and started to twist the rope. This was really a laborious job. When the bucket came up, there was exactly half a bucket of water in it, and the water was very clean.
It was so clear that she couldn't help but take a few sips from the bucket.
It was so sweet. She wiped the water from her mouth. She bent her eyes and looked at the sun above her head and the blue sky and white clouds that could be seen everywhere. She took a long breath of the extraordinarily clean air and felt the same.
very nice.
Okay, she started to get busy. She picked up the wooden basin, went into the house, and started cleaning.
At this time, a carriage was running hurriedly. Inside Beiyao's palace, the guard at the door blocked the carriage that was about to come in. The man in the well-dressed carriage took out a token from his arms and shook it.
Upon seeing it, the waiting guards hurriedly joined hands with extremely respectful expressions, and the gate of the palace was opened. The carriage ran in with almost no obstruction, and ran towards the deep palace at an extremely fast speed.
