"Brother, sister-in-law, this piggy bank contains the personal money I have saved over the past few years. My parents give me red envelopes during the holidays," Dazhi said softly.

"I took a look before and found that there was about a thousand pence, plus four taels of silver."

"It adds up to five taels of silver. Take this money back. There are so many people in our family. Even if we do nothing, we can provide enough food, clothing and food for the whole family for a year."

Hearing Da Zhi's words, Da Qiu quickly put down the egg cake in his hand and came over.

He picked up the piggy bank that Dazhi had brought over, weighed it in his hand a few times, and shook it a few times. When he heard the sound coming from inside, Daqiu suddenly became excited.

"You really have so much money, Shui Lian. With this money, our life will be easier, hehe..."

Da Qiu excitedly told Zhang Shuilian in front of Da Zhi.

Zhang Shuilian wanted to slap Da Qiu, but she couldn't do that in front of Da Zhi.

Zhang Shuilian snatched the piggy bank and put it back, then said to Dazhi: "Brother-in-law, this is the personal money you have saved so hard over the past few years. No matter how hard life is for this money, we cannot ask for your money."

"Keep your money for yourself. You can study in the future, get a wife, etc. There are plenty of places to spend money!"

Dazhi shook his head: "My studies and getting married will naturally be taken care of by my parents. My mother won't let me worry about it at all."

He pushed the piggy bank back in front of the big ball: "Brother, you can take it. Although it's not much, it's a drop in the bucket and it's my idea."

After saying this, Dazhi turned around and left the room.

Daqiu chased him to the door of the house and called out to Dazhi, but Dazhi walked away without looking back.

When Da Qiu returned to the house, he found that his daughter-in-law Zhang Shuilian had poured all the money in the piggy bank on the table and counted it one penny at a time...

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing? You were the one who said you didn't want it before. Now you are the one counting the money until your mouth is twisted. Do we want this money or not?" Da Qiu was very puzzled.

ask.

Zhang Shuilian stroked the money in front of her and couldn't move her eyes away, but in the end she stuffed it all into the piggy bank.

"Da Qiu, let's stay here for one day and then go back to our hometown tomorrow." Zhang Shuilian said.

"Give this piggy bank back to your brother Dazhi!" she said.

"What? Give it back? Did I hear you right? You have been counting this money for a long time and you still don't want it in the end?" Daqiu asked, confused.

Zhang Shuilian rolled her eyes at the big ball and said: "Who said I don't want it anymore? If you have money, you don't want a bastard!"

"Then why are you?" Big Ball asked again.

Zhang Shuilian said: "I want it, of course I want it, but what I want is not the five taels of silver in this piggy bank."

"The family of the great general who protects the country is so rich. The general's wife is also such a powerful female shopkeeper and has opened so many restaurants."

"Isn't it better to just pluck out a hair than to get five taels of silver?"

"What can you do with five taels of silver? A year's worth of rice and four seasons of clothing are gone. What happens after that?"

"Is it possible that we came here again to ask for three melons and two dates to exchange for some rice? You are really worthless!" Zhang Shuilian said.

The next day, Yang Ruoqing was still planning to cook some different dishes to entertain Da Qiu and his wife, but she didn't expect that Da Qiu and his wife would come over to say goodbye to her.

"Why are you leaving so soon? You brothers finally reunited, why don't you stay a few more days?" Yang Ruoqing asked sincerely.

Dazhi was also surprised by the temporary decision of Daqiu and the others, because when they talked together yesterday, they said they wanted to stay here for a few more days.

"Brother, sister-in-law, how many more days can you stay here?" Dazhi also asked to stay.

Da Qiu said: "Auntie, brother Dazhi, thank you very much for your stay and hospitality."

"We came over and saw Dazhi. When we saw that he was doing so well, we were relieved. When we went back and told my mother, she was also relieved."

"There are a lot of things going on at home. My mother and her younger brothers and sisters are running the breakfast shop. It takes more than two months for us to go back and forth. If we don't go back, we won't be able to worry about our family."

After hearing Da Qiu's words, Yang Ruoqing couldn't force her to stay.

"Come here again when you have free time. If possible, remember to bring your mother with you next time. We old sisters haven't seen each other again for seven years since we met at the mouth of the river." Yang Ruoqing continued enthusiastically.

Daqiu and Zhang Shuilian nodded together: "Thank you for the hospitality, auntie. We will tell my mother when we get back. I will bring my mother here next time when I am free."

Even though they only stayed in a hurry for a day and then left, Yang Ruoqing still prepared a lot of things for them to take with them before leaving.

Rice grain, wheat flour, rapeseed oil, some dry goods from the mountains and medicinal materials that are always available at home.

If you have a headache, a fever, etc., those medicines are necessary every day.

In addition, Yang Ruoqing put another ten taels of silver with Zuo Junmo and asked him to hand it over to Daqiu and his wife when they were sent to the ferry at Hekou Village.

Although ten taels of silver is not a huge amount of money, if Daqiu and the others take it back, they can buy a lot of things.

After sending Daqiu and his wife away, Yang Ruoqing finished cleaning up the housework and thought that Baobao Luo would go to school by herself today.

Originally, I thought Daqiu and his wife would stay for a few more days, so Dazhi did not go to school during the day, so Yang Ruoqing came to Dazhi's room and planned to talk to him for a while.

"Zhi'er, can I come in?" Yang Ruoqing asked standing at the door.

Dazhi quickly ran over and opened the door, "Mom, I'm not sleeping and I'm not reading. Mom, please come in."

After Yang Ruoqing entered the room, she immediately saw a fat pig's piggy bank placed in the middle of the table.

She specially asked someone to burn this fat pig's piggy bank in the porcelain capital. At that time, a total of three piggy banks were burned, one for each of Chen'er, Dazhi, and Baobao.

"What are you doing?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Dazhi said: "I didn't do anything, I was just thinking, since my eldest brother and sister-in-law said that life in my hometown is so tight, why don't they want the money in the piggy bank if I give them?"

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the piggy bank and then at Dazhi: "I, Zhi'er, have become sensible and know how to help my brothers and sister-in-law. I am such a sensible child. Mom is happy for you."

"But don't worry too much, Zhi'er. I left ten taels of silver with your uncle Junmo and asked him to pass it on to your brother and sister-in-law."

"Although ten taels of silver can't buy a shop, at least it can help the family make money."

"When they come again in the future, we will try to find ways to see if there is anything else we can do to help them."

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Dazhi remembered the bags of rice and grain supplies that were loaded onto the carriage when he sent his brother and sister-in-law away.

Dazhi stood up and came to Yang Ruoqing, raised his hand to brush his robe, and knelt down to Yang Ruoqing.
