Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2156 The money, I pay (three more)
"Let me say a few words." Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but speak out.

Everyone's eyes fell on her, Yang Ruoqing said: "This matter, if you want me to talk about it, it's just two points, you all stop talking nonsense."

"First, drunkard sister-in-law, you come to make a decision. We will burn the body of the drunkard brother here, burn it into ashes, and then transport it back to his hometown in Yangzhou."

"Secondly, the Yangzhou fellows who came here together, don't say things like you don't have a deep friendship with drunkards, the water is rising, and the fishing season hasn't passed yet."

"Isn't it just a word for money?"

"When the drunkard's wife burns the drunkard into ashes, the drunkard's wife will pay for the delivery fee, and you will send the drunkard's body and the children back to Yangzhou together!" Yang Ruoqing said.

As soon as her words came out, the drunkard's daughter-in-law was stunned, and the fishermen fell silent.

One by one's eyes are rolling around, obviously, they are all thinking about their own little calculations.

The drunkard's daughter-in-law hurriedly raised her head, "Burn it? Is this...will it be?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "What can we do if we don't burn it? It's been ten days and there is no ice to freeze it, so it will stink halfway. How about a boatload of rotten water?"

The drunkard's daughter-in-law fell silent, and said, "But, I don't have that much money..."

Yang Ruoqing said, "I'll pay the money."

The alcoholic daughter-in-law raised her head again, and looked at Yang Ruoqing gratefully.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the fishermen, "It's your duty to escort their mother and son back to their hometown in Yangzhou, otherwise, the waters will rise next spring, and you will not be allowed to fish in this area."

"Secondly, I will make up double the money you lost from work. You will safely escort their mother and son back to Yangzhou. I will reward you when next spring comes. You should think about it now and give me an answer."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fishermen exchanged glances again, and then, they all rushed to nod.

"No problem no problem!"

"Wrap it on us!"

"Yes, yes, we are all Yangzhou fellows, and we should help each other!"

"..."

……

The drunkard's affairs were settled like this.

They also persuaded the drunkard's daughter-in-law, helped her overcome her inner defenses, and got her to agree to burn the drunkard's body.

I found an old man in the village who knew a little bit about the hour, and pinched the hour, and set it up in the middle of the night, on the edge of the river beach, and set up a firewood shop to burn the drunkard's body.

The drunkard's daughter-in-law was dressed in white, kneeling in the night wind and crying tremblingly.

Yang Ruoqing was holding Dazhi, Lizheng's daughter-in-law was holding the youngest one, and the other four children were also dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, kneeling behind the drunkard's wife.

Among the children, the oldest was only ten years old, and they didn't know what happened.

All I know is that the adults are all talking about the same thing, which is that my father died.

Death, they don't understand this concept.

Vaguely, I only know that the tall man who always liked to chase and beat them with a stick, yelled at them, and refused to give them anything to eat.

Now lying there can't move, and, in the future, he can't stand up again.

In the young and intimidated hearts of these children, they all felt a burst of relief and relief for no reason.

Even the five-year-old kid was curious about the white clothes he was wearing.

With such a big body, this one is the most neatly dressed and looks the best.

He knelt there and looked around, until a woman behind him patted his head lightly and whispered to him to kneel down and stop looking around, then he had no choice but to be more honest.

The hunting firewood was very powerful, and it burned for a while, completely burning the drunkard.

The drunkard's daughter-in-law was already tired from crying. Under the arrangement of everyone, she took the jar prepared in advance and went forward to gather the ashes of the drunkard into the jar bit by bit.

Then cover it, and paste a yellow charm given by the fortune teller who pinpointed the hour on it.

Wrap the outside with a piece of black cloth, tie it tightly, and put your hands in front of you.

"It's almost dawn, you all go back to rest. You have been helping me day and night for the past two days, staying with me, contributing money and effort, it is really hard work."

When passing by Yang Ruoqing, the drunkard daughter-in-law stopped and said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Over there, Li Zheng walked over and said to the alcoholic wife: "I will leave for Yangzhou before the sun rises tomorrow, you should go back to the boat and get ready to disembark."

The drunkard daughter-in-law nodded, looked at Yang Ruoqing again, and stopped talking.

Then, carrying the ashes of the alcoholic, she walked to the black boat over there.

Several children also followed, and Yang Ruoqing and Li Zheng's wife also handed their ambitions and the youngest child to the fishermen's wives who were with the drunkard's wife.

Back at Lizheng's house, Yang Ruoqing sat on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

In my heart, there was an indescribable feeling of emptiness.

Li Zheng's wife came over and handed Yang Ruoqing a bowl of water.

"I don't dare to drink tea for you, I'm afraid you won't fall asleep, so drink some hot water and sleep for a while." Li Zheng's wife said.

Yang Ruoqing took the water and warmed her hands, "I can't sleep, I don't feel sleepy at all."

Lizheng's daughter-in-law said: "Is it true that Dazhi has left, and your heart is empty?"

Yang Ruoqing was startled, and looked up at the woman in front of her.

The woman smiled slightly, sat down next to her, and said: "I can also guess some of what you are thinking in your heart. After two days and two nights, seeing you take care of Dazhi like this, I know that you care about Dazhi so much. The child is regarded as his own son."

Yang Ruoqing didn't refute, she lowered her head and took a sip of her saliva, it was true.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law continued: "If you really don't want to leave your ambition, go talk to the drunkard's wife."

"This time, you paid a lot of money to protect their mother and son back to Yangzhou."

"If you open your mouth and want to keep the general, the drunkard wife will not refuse."

"The children will suffer if they follow her. If they follow you, life will be different. She can figure it out herself." The alcoholic wife said.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "I won't say such things."

"I won't make such a request. It's forcing others and separating the flesh and blood. It's not good." She said.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law said: "But, you are like this, you are the one who is sad."

Yang Ruoqing said: "To be honest, Da Zhi Niang has already told me this. She said that she wants Da Zhi to recognize me as a godmother and let Da Zhi come with me."

Lizheng's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up, and she said, "She said it herself, why shouldn't you?"

"If you agree, you won't be so sad, what do you think?" She asked again.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "It's still what I said earlier, I don't want, I don't want their mother and child to be separated."

"Child, it is always best for his growth to follow his own mother. It is difficult for others to replace this emotion."
