Chapter 207 The way out for the children(2/3)
Brother Wei was silent for a long time.
Finally, he raised his head: "I don't know if I'm the exception, but I still want to give it a try. I'm not as good as my elder brother in business, and I'm not as good as Brother Cheng'er in Wuwen. Even in terms of reaction speed and accuracy, I'm far inferior to Sister Chen and Sister Xiao. However, I also want to make a name for myself and become famous in history. I don't want to be left behind by them. But I can't do other ways, so I can only go to the stupid way of joining the army."
"Dad, mom." He whispered, and he slowly raised his head, his eyes full of determination, "I know this is a difficult road, but I am willing to give it a try. I would like to ask you two elders to fulfill it!"
After saying that, he respectfully bowed to Zhang Yuanli and his wife.
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanli nodded immediately.
"Husband!"
Ning was shocked again when he heard this. "How can you..."
"This old child is so passionate. You'd better let him do whatever he wants, otherwise he has some way to let us agree. Since that's the case, why should we stop him?" Zhang Yuanli smiled at her.
"Besides, wealth and honor are in danger. Since Brother Wei is willing to take this risk, he is actually looking for another way out for our Zhang family, which is also a good thing. We are just doing business, although we are rich, we are still looked down upon. But our son does not have the ability to take the exam and become an official in the court. So after all, there is only one way."
"What's more, he didn't go there alone. Wasn't he with the little prince and the others? With the little prince here, he will definitely take care of Brother Wei a little. You can rest assured."
How could she feel at ease with this? She never thought that she would go to the place where the swordless place of the border would one day be!
Ning was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Sister-in-law, don't you persuade them?"
"What's there to persuade? Brother Wei has been with us for so long, and it's enough to protect himself on the battlefield. If he goes to the border like this, he still can't achieve success, then he won't have to appear in front of me again." Gu Caining said indifferently.
Ning was stunned, and a light of hope suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, you mean..."
"I didn't say anything. In my life, I can only be responsible for my own life. Since Brother Wei chose this path, it is his own wish. I am willing to respect him, and I hope he can respect his own choices in the end."
"I can do it!" Brother Wei nodded quickly, "I have thought about this matter carefully. I really want to go. Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely make a contribution, and then let you be a wife of the imperial decree!"
When Ning heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She turned her back. "Since you have already thought about it, I have nothing to say. If you want to go, go, I won't stop you."
"Thank you, my parents!" Brother Wei was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Zhang Yuanli and Ning again.
Then he thanked Gu Caining and his wife without mentioning it.
Several people agreed on the matter, so they took Brother Wei to the front hall.
At this time, Gan Shirui and Lin Ping had already changed their clothes and came over. Seeing Gao Feng and the others' formation, the two boys were stunned.
Whether Lin Ping or Gan Shirui, these two people had seen Gao Feng's cold faces. So now when they saw Gao Feng coming over with a serious face, they were all so scared that their shoulders trembled and subconsciously took a step back.
When Gao Feng came to them, he said coldly: "I wonder if the young prince and the second young master Lin went to the border for training this time. Can you bring your nephew with you?"
ah?
Gan Shirui and Lin Ping thought he was here to find trouble! Unexpectedly, he was here to recommend someone to them?
And Zhang Wei, they have also dealt with this person. He is good at close attack, and his skills are ruthless and powerful, so he is very suitable for fighting on the battlefield.
Think about it again, it is not bad to have a fellow villager around you when you arrive in a remote border. Moreover, Brother Wei has a good character, and they get along very well with him.
Thinking of this, they nodded. "Welcome is so great! But we are leaving today. If Zhang Wei wants to follow us, he will probably have to leave today!"
"I'll go with you today." Brother Wei nodded without hesitation.
So, after everyone had a simple meal, Brother Wei packed up a bag and followed Gan Shirui and Lin Ping, leaving without even much time for Yiyi to bid farewell.
After Brother Wei left, Ning finally couldn't help but fall into Zhang Yuanli's arms and cried fiercely.
Zhang Yuanli's eyes were also slightly red, but he insisted on holding it back, patiently persuaded Ning, and then took her back to the county town.
There was one more person at home, and it seemed like it was much empty again.
Fortunately, this newborn brother Wan was so naughty. He was even more troublesome than his two sisters when they were young. Even if Gu Caining didn't breastfeed himself, he was still troublesome.
In a flash, time passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the full moon banquet in my brother.
As the snake courtyard and snake circles woke up from hibernation, the matter of taking snake venom began again.
Although Gu Caining had given birth to a child, Chen Yatou Xiao Yatou was already addicted to cleaning her fangs. In addition, Brother Wei was gone, and they lacked companions, so they needed to find things to save their excess energy. Gu Caining simply gave this matter to them, and she began to formulate the next development plan for her daughters.
On this day, Baohetang Security Hall and several nearby clinics came to collect snake venom. Chen Yatou and his sister went there happily.
When they came back after finishing their work, the two sisters held hands and came to Gu Caining.
"Mom, I heard from Uncle Li that the last time my younger brother was in full moon, the Wu family and the Liu family who came to our house for wedding banquets were beaten! And until now, no one was found to hit people!"
Gu Caining raised his eyebrows. "Is their son very bad?"
"No!" The two daughters shook their heads.
Gao Feng happened to come in from outside. When he heard his daughter mentioning the surnames, he blurted out: "Those are the families who took the initiative to say that they wanted to get in-laws with our family."
Well……
Gu Caining twitched the corner of his mouth. "In other words, was it intentional?"
"Don't worry! My daughter is still so young, they are just eyeing them. They should really fight! Now someone teaches them a lesson for me, and I can't ask for it!" Gao Feng gritted his teeth and growled.
Gu Caining was speechless at him.
"Forget it, it's not our business anyway. Let's just pretend that we haven't heard of anything. Their son was attacked by someone, but he has not found the culprit until now. This means that their skills are limited and they are not worthy of our daughter. These families can ignore it." She said softly.
"That's right!" Her words barely agreed with his wishes, and Gao Feng immediately nodded.
However, at the beginning, these families really didn't associate the matter with Gao Feng's family. Later, the snake meat business in Zuixianlou also began, and more and more people came to Shuangliu Village. Naturally, many families mentioned the marriage with Gao Feng or unintentionally.
There are even people who don’t even let their son, who is just a few months old!
Of course Gao Feng refused them all.
However, regardless of whether he refused or not, those families who mentioned the marriage to him would always be beaten up for various reasons afterwards.
而且,只是提出和晨丫头晓丫头结亲的人家儿子被揍.提出和晚哥儿结亲的人家安然无恙.
Once or twice, everyone didn't think much about it. But after more times, everyone also found out the smell - someone deliberately didn't want the two sisters Chen Yatou to be decided first!
But they searched privately for a long time, but they didn't find who the person behind the back was. This puts a layer of fear on everyone's hearts-
That is definitely a powerful person! And he is hidden in the dark and has not been discovered until now!
If they can't fight this person, they won't fight. As for Gao Feng's two daughters, since someone who is more powerful than their own, they naturally gave up this thought well.
So slowly, fewer families came to talk to Gao Feng about marriage, and by the end of the year, there was even less one!
Faced with this fact, Gao Feng was simply angry and powerless.
"He'd better not let me know who he is! He dares to ruin my daughter's reputation like this. When I find out, I'll see if I don't hang him up and beat him!" He gritted his teeth and growled.
"Isn't this good? No one covets your baby daughter, you can rest assured in the future." Gu Caining said coldly.
"What a fart! Don't worry, fart! Has no one coveted Chen girl? They have clearly been targeted by others, and they have been branded now! Until now, we don't know who is branded on them!" Gao Feng became more and more angry as he spoke.
He has said this countless times.
After more times, Gu Caining also became accustomed to it. She said calmly: "No matter who he is? Anyway, their actions now save us a lot of trouble. As for the future... then wait for him to appear by himself. He has already put in so much effort, I don't believe he will not stand up then. At that time, if you want to beat someone, you will beat him. But now, I think this is in a good state, so we should not dig out the person first."
"That's all right? I'm not that stupid either!" Gao Feng nodded immediately, a hint of pride appeared on his face.
Gu Caining saw it, and she turned her head helplessly and sighed.
The topic was not over yet. Brother Wan, who was still sleeping just now, woke up. The little guy immediately turned over and lay on the bed, started to use his hands and feet, and got up everywhere like a flexible little turtle.
As he grows bigger day by day, this little guy's energy is getting stronger day by day. Now, this ten-month-old child is simply a skinny monkey. From morning to night, he has never stopped at other times except to sleep and eat!
It is conceivable that when he will leave, he will probably have to mess with more people.
Gu Caining sighed more than once. "I regret giving birth to him."
"I regret it too. It's better for my daughter." Gao Feng echoed countless times.
However, Chen Yatou Xiaoya likes this little brother very much. Every day after school, they have to come to play with their younger brother for a while and then do their homework. Cheng Ge'er also showed endless interest in this little cousin. Now that Brother Wan can't speak, he is already reciting poems to him seriously!
It’s also a blessing that these brothers and sisters are helping him consume energy, otherwise Gu Caining would feel that she would be tortured by this overly active son.
Now, seeing that her son started having fun everywhere again, she quickly called her wet nurse to come and take care of him.
It just so happened that someone from the village came to the house, and the person came was one of the four families who started raising snakes with them last year.
"Brother Feng, this is the money my family owes you. There are two in total, a total of twelve taels of silver and three cents. Now the money is here, you can just do it." Wang Wu brought it over with a heavy cloth bag in his hands.
Most of the money for the countryside is not the silver ingots of whole ingots, but small silver ingots the size of small soybeans and mung beans, and copper coins strung together. Therefore, more than twelve taels of silver are indeed a very heavy bag.
Gao Feng took the cloth bag over and asked someone to count the copper coins. He took out a small pole to weigh the weight of the silver turf. Then he converted the number of copper coins, and finally he nodded: "It's indeed this number."
Gu Caining took out the loan note from Wang Wu's family and handed it to him. "From now, our two families will clear them."
"Yes, I have paid off all the foreign debts I owe!" Wang Wu nodded with a smile, "From next year, all the money earned from raising snakes will be my family's net profit! By the way, I have paid back your family's money, but I have actually still some surplus on hand, enough for our family to have a prosperous year!"
Indeed, last year they first went back from Gao Feng's house to credit snake eggs. But it was said that it was credit, but the hatching work was still carried out at Gao Feng's house, but these families had to send people to take care of them. Gao Feng arranged for people to teach them clearly about the operations and precautions of hatching snake eggs.
When the snake hatched, they took the snake home together with the snake box to raise. The feed for feeding the snake was also sold to them at a cost price. While raising small things such as frogs and earthworms, they were busy with work in the fields. It was really hard for a year.
Losing the cost of these high Feng Feng helped them first, they didn't have to pay for it themselves, so everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
To be continued...
