Cheng Xue understands the child's thoughts, but she does not agree with selling the land.
Old farmers are based on the land. The land can make money, but these dead things cannot make money. Also, being a scholar, farmer, industry and commerce is not just talk.
"Good boy, Mom understands what you mean, but compared with things, land is still more important."
"But over there in the clan..."
"Don't worry in the clan, my mother will never let them come to our house to ask for things." Cheng Xue solemnly promised.
Seeing her mother's persistence, Da Ya finally returned the things.
"Then let Tiedan go to town with my mother. I don't trust my mother alone. Take the money that your third uncle gave you just now, so that a poor family can become rich."
"Okay, wait until mom comes back and buy you some delicious tonic. You've all lost weight."
After Mr. Yu fell ill, Daya took her younger brother and younger sister to the fields to collect firewood every day. She was busy for days, and her face, which was not very fleshy, became even thinner.
Since you call them "mother", you have to bear the responsibilities that should be shouldered and cannot shirk them.
Touching the elegant texture of the jade pendant, I thought about it and put it back into the box. It was not that I was reluctant to pawn it, but mainly because I was afraid of getting into trouble during the pawn process. Although Liang Yan was in the new dynasty, many rules still remained.
Men are respected, the clan leader is in charge, and whatever grade is used...
After loading the things, the two women left the house side by side. The moment the door closed, the man with closed eyes on the kang finally opened his eyes. In fact, he had woken up long ago, and he had been pretending to be asleep out of caution and observing secretly.
His original wife didn’t have any medical skills, so I thought the female doctor had traveled through time like him. After all, he was protecting her at that time, and he was already here, so she had no reason not to come...
……
Wanghe Village is only two miles away from Shushan Town, but Cheng Xue walked and walked for a full hour before entering the city.
I found a decent pawn shop nearby, put the things on the counter, and was soon invited to the small room on the east side by the clerk. The room was not big, with a table and two chairs. Chao Feng sat aside, and on the table were the things she wanted to pawn.
Stuff.
"I wonder where this little lady thing comes from? How can I figure it out?"
"Damn it." Cheng Xue said as she sat down at the table. "The little woman has brought this thing with her since she was a child. Now that the family cannot survive, she can only live with it."
Upon hearing this, Chao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly.
"How about fifty taels? To be honest, the bracelet and necklace are not heavy, but the good thing is that the carvings are exquisite. If I am not wrong, the young lady must have been from a wealthy family."
Cheng Xue waved her hands when she heard this and took advantage of the situation:
"My husband also said 'once', so I don't mind mentioning it. If it weren't for hard times, I wouldn't be able to take it seriously. Please give me a real price, and we will come and visit you often in the future. Don't worry, I won't let your husband's work go in vain."
They are all smart people and they keep their words to the point.
I wanted to pretend to be weak and gain sympathy, but I have no use now.
Chao Feng thought for a moment and made the "seven" gesture.
"The price is incredible, no matter how much it is, I can't make the decision. I'm here to do the work. From now on, I'll give you the most fair price when you pawn things, how about that?"
"Okay." Cheng Xue accepted it as soon as she was satisfied.
The price difference between fifty and seventy is enough to cost a farm family ten years. She also made a profit by spending a few taels of silver to give him a kickback.
Chao Feng went out to collect the pawn tickets. This was the first time Cheng Xue saw this thing. The date of the pawn and the transaction amount were clearly written on it. All she had to do was sign, fingerprint, and count the money.
Chao Feng thoughtfully asked the clerk to exchange three taels of silver for her copper plates, as well as ten taels of broken silver. Cheng Xue also kept true to her word, taking out five taels while the clerk was away, and quickly stuffed it into him.
Obviously, Chaofeng didn't expect her to be so generous. In shock, he personally sent the mother and son out of the door, then lowered his voice and said:
"Little lady, there is a war in the south, and we will have to recruit soldiers soon. If you have men of suitable age in your family, you need to make plans as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you sir."
In ancient times, information was limited. If she hadn't generously given money, no one would have told her. The conscription has nothing to do with the Li family at the moment. Li Hui is a child, and Tiedan is only six years old, but it will matter when Tiedan and Sidan grow up. Liang Yan's soldiers are different from modern soldiers, and their treatment and status are even more different.
She has no ability to change this strange world, but she has a way to protect her children. Since Li Hui cannot endure the hardships of life, he must endure the hardships of studying. Become a scholar once and for all, otherwise taxes, taxes, corvee, etc. can kill people in minutes. She didn't believe that she would be sick during the exam, so she would wait until she recovered well before worrying about that kid.
Reconciliation is impossible, and escape is even less realistic. Liangyan's control over the people is no worse than in modern times. There must be a road leading out of the county or government. Without a road leading, they are refugees. Refugees must either join the army or work as coolies, and life is worse than death.<

I found Deji Hall according to my memory. This is the best medicine hall in Shushan Town, and the medical skills of the doctors there are also top-notch.
Wooden plaques are hung on both sides of the door: I only hope that people in the world will be free from disease, and I will not be afraid of the dust on the shelves.
Think of the stickers on the windows of modern pharmacies. On the eighth membership day every month, you get double points, ten eggs for free when you spend 58 yuan or more on medicines, and 20% off on medical equipment...
Pattern, pattern!
Tiedan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly grabbed her sleeve and whispered:
"Mom, I'll take the medicine no matter how expensive it is later. If I don't have enough money, I'll go home and sell the land. I can't stand it anymore."
He was really scared. Ever since he could remember, his mother had always been very lively. Even though she had difficulty giving birth to four eggs, she was not as weak as she was on the way here today.
They say that a son’s leather jacket is a good thing but not useful. But her leather jacket is good, wind-resistant and warm.
"Don't worry, Mom won't lose to me anymore, she's rich!"
After finishing her words, she didn't forget to pat her waist, which contained more than four kilograms of silver. Liang Yan's clothes were loose, and the original owner was very thin, so it was impossible to tell.
She has made up her mind and will take the medicine no matter how expensive it is. Since she doesn’t know how to return to modern times, she will live a modern life here. The longer she lives, the better.
The result of the doctor's pulse diagnosis was as she expected: Qi and blood were depleted, yin was deficient and the body was cold, requiring strong medicine to regulate her condition.
"Young lady, please allow me to remind you once again that your prescription requires a lot of expensive medicine, at least one tael of silver for one prescription. Although you can remove some of it in the future, it will take at least two months to get rid of the root."
"Grandpa, please prescribe it. No matter how expensive it is, my mother will eat it." Tiedan answered first before Cheng Xue could say anything.
The doctor ignored the child and just stared at Cheng Xue without blinking. Don't blame him for hesitating, the clothes of mother and son were too ordinary, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to afford such an expensive prescription.
Cheng Xue saw his worry and pretended to be helpless:
"I have four children to raise, and the youngest is no more than six months old. I really can't afford to die. Sir, please be considerate and help me if appropriate."
"Okay." The doctor nodded and lowered his head to write.
Cheng Xue looked at the powerful words. She knew many medicinal materials, and they all prescribed the right medicines.
After the prescription was written, the doctor blew it and said:
"Take seven sets of medicine, once in the morning and once in the evening. Check your pulse after seven days, and I will make another decision as appropriate. Wean the baby when you get back. You should also pay attention to yourself. Don't be tired, don't be angry, and don't worry."
"Yes, thank you sir."
Cheng Xue thanked him and got up to go to the counter to grab medicine...
