On the one hand, it was his teacher's kindness, and on the other hand, his mother was forcing him to die. Lu Yujin really didn't know what to choose. But if he was asked to marry Tang Wanwan, he didn't hesitate at all. If he married Tang Wanwan, he would bring her with him.
He left with her. But it was hard for him to marry the county head who he had never met before, who was said to be frail and sickly, and who looked like a man without salt.
Tang Wanwan tiptoed open the door and slipped into her room. Tixi's mother didn't notice her, but a sudden voice scared her to death. "It's so late, where have you been?"
"Hey, mother, you are scaring me to death." Fortunately, Tang Wanwan had slept for a while and had recovered some strength, otherwise she would have fainted from fright on the spot.
"Mom, what are you doing? You don't light a lamp and don't make a sound. Do you want to scare your daughter to death?" Tang Wanwan patted her chest and lit the lamp with a fire stick.
I saw Mrs. Chen sitting on Tang Wanwan's bed fully clothed. It seemed that she had been waiting for her in her room.
"You've been out for so long. What have you been doing? Have you forgotten what your mother said?"
"Mom, Grandpa Tan passed away. I went to visit brother and sister Tan Ling and Tan Song, and I have bought their carpentry shop. From now on, we will have our own store to do business."
"Don't interrupt. Let me ask you, where have you been? Did you kill someone or set a fire? Why are you covered in the smell of blood?"
"Ah, is there one?" Tang Wanwan raised her arms and deliberately pretended to sniff hard with her nose, and then said with a smile: "Mom, your nose is really good, you can smell this too. It's Tang Ruyi who is today
She accidentally fell and injured her leg, so I happened to pass by and helped her."
"Is that all? Then why so late?"
"Mom, what's wrong with you today? I really have to do business. If you don't believe me, you can ask the village chief."
"I met the village chief's wife earlier, and she said you had left long ago."
"Mom, what are you doing? Your daughter, I won't do anything illegal, and I won't hide anything from you, but you can't hide anything from me.
"Mom!" Tang Wanwan came over and took Madam Chen's arm, resting her head on her shoulder, showing the posture of a little daughter. Madam Chen held her daughter's hand, her hand was very cold, thinking about this
It was late, and my daughter was still tired from running around outside, so she suddenly felt a lot softer.
She couldn't help but sigh and said: "Mom, I know you are working hard, but you also have to consider your own health. So, does the Tan family need help? Those two siblings are very pitiful."
"Mom, don't worry, I have arrangements. Mr. Tan will have his funeral in three days, and I will go and see him off at that time. You just need to do whatever you normally do."
Mrs. Chen nodded, and finally stopped asking questions. Instead, she stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't ask. But when I saw your brother these past two days, I seemed to be in a bad mood again.
As if you have something on your mind, if you really have a way to cure your brother's leg, act quickly and don't let his happiness be in vain."
"Well, mother, I know, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing that her mother was finally gone, Tang Wanwan patted her little heart, which she had been worried about for a long time. It didn't matter that Mrs. Chen was gone. As soon as Tang Wanwan's spirit relaxed, she suddenly became depressed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she felt
He fell asleep immediately.
Tang Wanwan slept particularly soundly that night, and she also had a dream, but the groom in the dream was not Lu Yujin. After Tang Wanwan got up, she thought about it, but thought the dream was too ridiculous, so she didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ruyue really did it. She cut down a hundred moso bamboos overnight and transported the bamboos back by waterway.
Tang Wanwan was very satisfied after seeing it and told her that after passing the test, she could teach her the art of salt smelting.
After hearing this, Tang Ruyue burst into tears of joy and quickly knelt down to Tang Wanwan, saying that she sincerely wanted to be her apprentice and would ask her to teach her more in the future.
"There's no need to be like this, Xiaoyue. I can only help you so much. From now on, you have to walk your own path."
After Tang Wanwan helped Tang Ruyue up, they went to the prison to meet the Wangs and his wife. The couple had only been imprisoned for a few days. Both of them had lost a lot of weight and were haggard. They were obviously worried and worried a lot.
.
"Xiaoyue, Awan!"
Mrs. Wang looked at Tang Wanwan, and then at her daughter's expression, and she understood everything immediately. She kowtowed and begged her to help them and Tang Ruyue.
"Ah Wan, my uncle and aunt were blind and bullied your family in the past. I am here to apologize to you. As long as you help our family tide over the difficulties this time, we will definitely repay you in the future."
Uncle Tang Jianyong also begged: "Ah Wan, uncle, please save us for your father's sake. If the matter at the salt factory cannot be resolved this time, Patriarch Tang will definitely vent his anger on our family."
, then in addition to losing all our money, we will also be imprisoned. Ah Wan, uncle, please."
After saying that, both husband and wife knelt down in front of Tang Wanwan.
"Uncle, uncle and aunt, please get up. Since I'm here today, I'm not going to stand by and watch. This matter at the salt factory is not only related to your family, but also to our entire Tangjia Village, and even to the entire
nation."
"In addition, I want to tell you that I want to help Xiaoyue up. Let's work together and stop targeting each other. Of course, if I need your help in the future, I hope you can help me too, so as not to add insult to injury."
"That's natural." Wang replied.
"I want you to swear an oath to God here. If you break your oath, you will die a good death. God will not allow it."
Mrs. Wang and her husband looked at each other, raised their hands at the same time, and made today's vows to the sky.
"I hope you can keep in mind what you said today. No matter whether you are poor or rich in the future, don't forget the vow you made today. Xiaoyue and I will restore the salt workshop and ask the clan leader to let you go."
After Tang Wanwan left, Mrs. Wang still felt like she was in a dream, so she asked Tang Jianyong to pinch herself. "Ms., I'm not dreaming, right? Just now that girl said she would help us and Xiaoyue regardless of past grudges, right?
"
"Yes, it seems that we wrongly blamed Ah Wan before. She is really a good child who does great things."
...
Then Tang Ruyue and Tang Wanwan went to see the clan leader. Tang Ruyue said that she had figured out a way to repair the salt workshop, but she needed Tang Wanwan's help.
The Tang clan leader suddenly looked at Tang Wanwan with some doubts. Tang Ruyue seemed to lack confidence. Tang Wanwan said that she was helping Tang Ruyue and asked the clan leader to prepare things for them as required.
The most important tools this time are an iron pot, filter gauze, a large amount of charcoal, and a salt drying table. The process is much simpler than the last time, but the salt production speed is obviously much faster than last time, and the salt that comes out is thicker.
