Chapter 237: The Smell of Powder

Twenty taels of silver are in the Shen family, which is a lot of money, enough for the family to eat and drink for several years.

Although Su Miaomiao was very moved by the twenty taels of silver, she cherished the life of the family even more.

This matter involves a lot. Just relying on a sesame official in the government, he definitely does not have the ability to get so many iron pieces.

In Su Miaomiao's opinion, this is not a reward, but a temptation to lure the person who sent the letter. If you go out to collect the money, you will be really unlucky.

Su's father also knew about this, so he saw the notice in the village and said it at home.

Now the family is not the time when food is tight before, so the twenty taels of silver are not too precious.

I have never known who was delivering the letter, and there are also many discussions in the village. People are looking at the notice every day, hoping that the person can be himself.

The temptation of twenty taels is not small, but no one dares to do anything about taking rewards.

"Who is the one who informed this? The twenty taels of silver are quite a lot, why not take it?" Aunt Yang and several women were standing under the tree at this moment, discussing who was sending the letter.

"Hey, this notice is posted. People go to see it every day, but no one goes to receive the reward silver. If I weren't timid, I would just go and take it away. There are money on all over the place, so I can't get it with the silver."

"I'll wait a little longer. When no one really takes it, I'll go and get it." The person who spoke was an old bachelor in the village. The poor family went to the field to dig wild vegetables almost every day. When he had nothing to eat, he was even hungry and stopped eating.

After taking twenty taels of silver, I can eat enough food for several years.

Liang Sheng was lying on the bed, and heard the conversation between Liang and Liu at home, and asked, "You said no one has taken the reward for that silver yet?"

"Yes, I don't know who told the prefect's house. Now that the official has been locked up, he probably has no chance to come out. This private casting of weapons is a serious crime. I heard that it is still colluding with the more powerful, so I will definitely die."

Liang told Liang Sheng all he heard, as if he had passed the time.

Speaking of the silver rewards, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "If I were that man, I would go to collect the silver rewards early, which would be twenty taels of silver."

With that twenty taels of silver, she didn't have to eat cabbage here every day, as she was about to vomit after eating it.

In the past, I could still eat melon seeds to pass the time, but now only the water in the well can drink it, and there is not even a little tooth-salting thing.

I originally thought that she could live a good life with Liang Sheng, so she came here, otherwise, it would be better to stay at the deceased's house for the time being.

Although Liang Sheng's injuries were much healed, he was reluctant to go out to meet others.

On the day when he was beaten and carried home, many people in the village saw it, and were afraid that he would laugh at him in his heart, so he refused to go out.

Thinking of this, he thought of Su Miaomiao, the "culprit".

Although the Su family farmed and hunted, twenty taels of silver were not a small amount. In the future, they would have to be paid for Su Jinghe's study, so there was a lot of money to spend."

"If it were Su Miaomiao, they would take the money no matter how much they wanted. I am afraid that it is not her."

And the reward was still received within a month.

Although the change person did not show up on the surface, the bachelor who had spoken out before began to keep carrying the good furniture into the house.

Even the home has been slightly renovated.

When the people who lived next to his house saw it, they thought of the rewards and were sure that the person who took the rewards was this bachelor.

"I didn't expect what you said was true, and I really went to get the reward."

"What are you trying to get a reward? I picked up this money." The bachelor looked at his neighbors vigilantly, afraid that others would pay attention to him.

Su Miaomiao heard that someone had already taken the reward from the village, but he did not show any expression.

The Su family went to work in the fields as usual.

Chatting in the fields also turns into envying bachelors.

Su Miaomiaoguang had been doing work for a short time and had heard no less than ten people, saying that he envied the bachelor who had received the reward, because he had received twenty taels of silver for nothing.

"If I had known it, I could get the money for nothing, and I would go too. Then the money would be mine, I regret it!"

When Su Miaomiao heard this, she just laughed softly.

There are only twenty taels of silver on the left, but are these twenty taels of silver really so good?

But the life of a bachelor is getting better and better, the more jealous people in the village are, and they hate the bachelor more.

The winter comes silently, and gradually it is snowing.

There was snow falling in the sky, and every household stayed in their doors, and they just felt that it was too cold this day.

However, the Su family is very warm, and there is still some time to enjoy the snow.

Su Miaomiao set up a charcoal fire at home early, and spent this winter warm enough.

The whole family gathered together and simply roasted the fish they caught with charcoal. It tasted fragrant and warm, and could also watch the snow scene.

When it was just eating it smelled good, there was a knock on the door outside, accompanied by the second uncle of the Qiao family.

He shouted outside, his voice anxiously, "Su Feng, something happened in the village. The village chief told us to go all out, if you have something to ask."

Su Feng opened the door, looked at Uncle Qiao's anxious look and asked, "Does the whole family go, or?"

Uncle Qiao Er smelled the fragrance in the room and couldn't help but take a sip of the fragrance, saying, "Just go there a few men in your family, Jinghe will go there together."

Su Feng didn't know what happened, but after Uncle Qiao said that, he greeted the two of them.

"Jinghe, Huaizhi, you two will go to the village chief with me."

Xie Huaizhi stood up and followed Su Jing and the other two behind Su Feng.

Su Miaomiao didn't know what was wrong. Zhang hugged Su Zisheng and looked at the backs of the people who left worriedly, and said worriedly: "Nothing will happen, right?"

"Mom, don't worry, what's wrong? It's okay." Su Miaomiao comforted her mother, and wondered what would happen and why the man at home had to come over.

After her father came back, she couldn't wait to ask: "Dad, what's wrong? Why did the village chief insist on you going?"

Su Feng frowned and looked serious, and instructed: "Jinghe, lock the door."

After locking the door, Su Fengcai said with a serious expression: "Old man Yang, who had mistook the reward a few days ago, was found dead at home."

"About...how long has it been?" Su Miaomiao asked.

Su Miaomiao had some speculations in her mind.

While grilling the rabbit meat in his hand, Xie Huaizhi said without any grudges: "It is said that it has been at least seven or eight days. The body smells smelly. Although it is as cold as today, it has been a long time since the smell is still strong. It was only smelled by his neighbor this morning and entered his home and found that the person was dead."
