Mr. Feng only thought Tang Wanwan was joking. After all, even if a little girl could make money, how much could she earn? He gave money to Tang Wanwan and her daughter purely out of sympathy. They were the mainstay of the family.
Now, the children are still young, and there is also a medicine jar at home. It is so difficult to live such a life with only one woman supporting me. I thought that giving them a pension of thirty taels of silver would help them.
Their lives were better, but they didn't expect that their lives were so difficult. It was said that it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, so he could only do what he could within his capabilities.
He immediately smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, just use it slowly." Feng Zhixian was also giving face to the little girl Tang Wanwan. He hadn't seen her for more than a year, and he didn't expect Tang Wanwan's changes.
Much bigger.
Before leaving, she didn't expect that Gu Yunzhi would leave something behind. After he left, Mrs. Chen found something on the window sill. She quickly picked it up and looked at it. When she saw it, she was frightened to death.
He shouted: "Ah Wan, this is incredible, that young master actually left behind a fine jade pendant."
Mrs. Chen saw him raise his hand and brush it in front of the window sill. After she left, she looked over and saw something more on the windowsill.
"What can we do?" This jade pendant looks like a good thing at first glance. It has warm tentacles and is of excellent quality. It is not something that ordinary people can pick up.
"How could he leave something behind? Mom, you must have read it wrong." Tang Wanwan was a little surprised. This man left something for her without saying a word. Could it be that he also felt sorry for her and sympathized with her?
He also said before that he was trying his best to seduce him, so what does it mean to leave him here again?
We don't dare to have anything to do with him. If we take his things, we won't be blamed to death in the future.
Tang Wanwan thought for a while and immediately said to Mrs. Chen: "Mom, go and return it to him quickly. We can't afford such an expensive gift for no reason."
Mrs. Chen felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she asked: "Ah Wan, do you recognize this young master? What is his name? I don't know what his identity is, and he is so generous."
Feng Zhixian gave them five or six taels of silver, and Gu Yun took action, at least dozens of taels! How did Tang Wanwan know his name? He didn't tell them. He said, "I don't know either. He should
He must be Uncle Feng’s friend.”
"Okay, I'll return it to you right away. Then you can stay at home and don't run around." Madam Chen warned her daughter.
After Tang Wanwan heard this, she immediately smiled, pointed at her swollen leg and said, "Mom, go hurry up. My legs are like this, and I can't walk even if I want to."
After Mrs. Chen left, Tang Xiaoyi, who had been silent, moved the stool under her butt towards Tang Wanwan, and said with a smile: "Sister, could it be that this young master has fallen in love with eldest sister?
When you came to our house once, someone gave you such a valuable thing, could it be a greeting gift?"
Tang Wanwan was immediately angry and funny. She reached out and hit her brother hard on the head and said, "Little devil, where did you hear this nonsense? I'm not familiar with him. Who knows what's going on in his head?"
.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoyi jumped up, pointed at Tang Wanwan, and said with a smile: "Oh, eldest sister is shy. I have heard people say that gentlemen are so kind to fair ladies, and our eldest sister is the most beautiful in our village.
Maybe that young man has taken a liking to you."
At this time, Tang Wanwan stopped quarreling with her brother, but said in a slightly serious tone: "Do you know what it means to run away from a lady, and a gentleman is so jealous? That's not about us. We are not qualified, so what are you waiting for?
When your stomach is full, you have good clothes to wear, and you have a good house to live in, you will have time to think about those romantic things."
"I don't understand. Doesn't it mean that gentlemen will like beautiful girls and want to pursue them?"
"Want to know the answer?" Tang Wanwan looked at her brother.
"Yeah!" Tang Xiaoyi nodded vigorously.
"Then go ahead and memorize both the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic, and then I'll tell you."
Now Tang Xiaoyi felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She knew something was wrong and she had to study. She immediately picked up the bamboo basket and prepared to sneak out. "Sister, it seems that we have no firewood at home. I'll go pick some up and bring them back."
"There are three piles of firewood inside and outside the house at home."
"Then I'll go cut some grass and come back."
"There is no food at home, how can it be difficult for you to cut it back and eat it yourself?" Now Tang Xiaoyi was forced to do nothing by Tang Wanwan. She immediately surrendered and compromised. "Sister, can I memorize the Three-Character Sutra first? I haven't learned all the words yet.
.”
"Then starting from tomorrow, you can memorize it with me in the morning. If you don't recognize it, I'll teach you. That's okay."
Tang Xiaoyi had no choice but to compromise in the end.
But soon he became happy again, because his sister assigned him a task, which was not to study, but to find wood. She asked him to find all the wood he could find at home. Then he put it all in front of Tang Wanwan
Come.
After working for a long time, I found more than a dozen pieces of wood, large and small.
After all, Tang Xiaoyi was not very strong, so he couldn't handle any big pieces of wood. All he found were half-sized ones. It happened that Tang Wanwan was helping her brother Tang Wei make a wheelchair, so he didn't need big pieces of wood.
He picked out a few pieces of wood and said they would be put to use. Tomorrow they would transport all these pieces of wood by car to the carpenter for processing and shaping.
After the wood was initially polished and cut into sections, Tang Wanwan then cut it according to the length she needed. Finally, she began to make a wheelchair.
It is estimated that it will take a few days. Many tools are not available, and she will have to make a few new ones.
Fortunately, I had the money supported by Magistrate Feng. It was more than enough to use one tael of silver to make a few tools that Tang Wanwan could use for woodworking.
"Xiaoyi, help your sister to go to the blacksmith shop to make a few more of these for me. There is sample paper here, just ask the master to make it according to this. And if someone asks you who made it, just say that you made it for someone else.
Yes, don’t say it’s me who knows?”
"Hey, sister, don't worry while I'm working on something. Can I go outside and play for a while?"
"The things are done, you can play for a while."
"Okay." In fact, Tang Xiaoyi said that he was going out to play. He was going to go out to find out information. He wanted to know how Feng Zhixian and their case was going. If the progress goes quickly, Xiaorou can come back early.
"Ah Wan, they move very fast. I couldn't even catch up with them even if I chased them hard."
"They have a carriage. Forget it, let's keep this thing for now and give it to him next time when we have a chance."
"Then you have to put it away. This thing looks quite valuable."
"Yes." Tang Wanwan put the jade pendant on her body herself. Even the door of the house was not strong, let alone storing important items. It was left at home just for others.
The mother and daughter talked for a while. Mrs. Chen talked about so many things at home, and suddenly remembered what Gu Xinyu said.
She hurriedly said: "Ah Wan, look at my mind, I was so busy that I forgot an important thing."
Seeing that her mother's expression was different and she looked very excited, she immediately asked: "Mom, what's important?"
