Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2911 Allocate coolies (four more)
"I inquired with my acquaintances in the yamen. Originally, it was possible to pay a sum of money to redeem it, but Lizheng from the village had to go over as a guarantee."

"However, he made a fuss in the prison and even got into a fight with a jailer, and the situation became very serious."

"Now he can only be released on bail unless he pays 100 taels of silver. Otherwise, he can only be held in prison for a period of time and released after the sentence expires."

After Yang Ruoqing came back, she talked to Xiaoqin's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"You want 100 taels of silver?" Xiaoqin asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, picked up the tea beside her and took a sip, "100 taels, not less than a penny, and my father has to go over and sign and pledge as a guarantor."

Xiaoqin's face turned pale, and she looked at the old woman beside her, "Mother, even if our family sells everything, we still can't make up the 100 taels."

"Even if the relatives are selling everything, I'm afraid they won't be able to get it all together. The Chinese New Year will be over a month away. Look at this..."

Granny Xiaoqin's face was tangled and flustered.

The old woman murmured: "Even if we can borrow 100 taels of silver, we can't afford to pay it back!"

The old woman looked at the two granddaughters beside her again. The two children had innocent faces, and each of them was eating a piece of sugar cake with great relish.

It's cold and it's New Year's Eve, so don't let your children suffer!

"I can't help but let him stay in prison now." The old woman gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Xiaoqin lowered her head, put her arms around the two children, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

I hope that it is best for him to sit and wear out the prison in prison, and never let him out.

The old woman opened her mouth in a trembling voice again: "Girl Qing, thank you for helping us go to the county seat to find out about this, Ma'am, I want to ask you one more thing..."

"Ma'am, tell me, but if I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Yang Ruoqing said.

The old woman said: "It's freezing cold, and it's probably too cold in the prison. I'm worried that he'll freeze to death in there, and it won't be all right if something goes wrong."

"Could you trouble me to bring some clothes in for me?" she asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll run for you again tomorrow."

The old woman digged around for a while before she took out three Wen coins, "I still have more than a dozen eggs at home, I'll pack them up when I get back, and you can take them to the jail tomorrow, too."

"Give it to the jailer who guards. The farmers don't have any good things, so I just ask them to take care of my man..."

Yang Ruoqing nodded again.

The next day, Yang Ruoqing went to the county restaurant to settle the bill and indeed went to the county government. When she came back, she brought back a piece of news for Xiaoqin's mother-in-law.

"The people in the yamen said that all these prisoners will be sent to work in a quarry over there. If they behave well, they can be released early."

"It can be as long as a year, and as little as three months." She said.

Hearing this, there was a faint light in the old woman's eyes.

"I hope he suffers from this loss, can perform well in the quarry, and strive to go home and reunite as soon as possible!" she said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Xiaoqin was thinking in her heart, at least three months, um, when he comes back, it will be the beginning of spring next year.

As long as it can be clean for a period of time, it is enough, the big deal is to think about it later.

The old woman went back wiping her tears. Over here, Yang Ruoqing gave the 20 eggs to Xiaoqin: "I didn't give these eggs to the jailer, you give them to the children."

Xiaoqin nodded, took the basket, and couldn't help asking Yang Ruoqing: "Do you have to work in the quarry for at least three months?"

Yang Ruoqing said, "Yes."

Xiaoqin asked again: "What kind of place is the quarry? What are they doing?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Do you know how the stones on this construction site came from? They were picked from the mountains."

"Why do bricklayers and carpenters pay less than masons? It's because masons are the most tiring and the hardest. They have to go up the mountain to quarry stones and polish them, so they earn the highest wages."

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Xiaoqin understood.

Quarrying is hard work, and my father-in-law was assigned to do coolies.

"My father-in-law has never experienced any hardship in his life. If going back to being a coolie can make him completely awaken, then he will really be Amitabha." Xiaoqin said.

Yang Ruoqing twitched the corners of her mouth.

Even if his own son was struck to death by lightning, his sense of responsibility could not be awakened, but just a few months of hard work could make him wake up?
She couldn't believe it.

It's like watching variety shows in the previous life, and one show left people speechless.

Let the little emperors in the city exchange their lifestyles with the children in impoverished mountainous areas for a period of one week.

The little city emperors who have been pampered for more than ten years, when they come to the countryside, suddenly become sensible just because they see the new father in the countryside running a few miles to buy meat for him, and the mother in the countryside mending his clothes and so on.Got it?

Then when you return to the city, you will be able to understand the good intentions of your parents?
From then on, the rebellious little emperor can immediately transform into a good boy with 24 filial piety?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Yang Ruoqing does not believe it anyway.

Because this person's character and behavior habits are not formed overnight, it is a deep-rooted thing.

It takes time to change, a long, long time.

Like Wangfu, there is almost no cure.

"Whether your father-in-law can change or not, at least for the next three months, you can sleep peacefully." Yang Ruoqing said to Xiaoqin.

Xiaoqin nodded, "Then I'll go clean it up now, and I'll move it back today."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Okay, I'll help you, and I'll take the three of you home later."

The matter of Wangfu has come to an end for the time being, and Xiaoqin can finally come to the construction site to cook happily every day.

And the villagers, after discussing about Wangfu for several days, also diverted their attention.

Because it is the twelfth lunar month, every household is going to start preparing for the New Year.

Busy years, busy years, every year the twelfth lunar month comes like this.

Yang Ruoqing has taken care of the restaurant and other business, and then, she just stays at home and prepares for the New Year.

The Sun family moved into a new house on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. For the past two days, Luo Fengtang has been busy helping the Sun family move.

The date is set on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but most of the furniture in the family has been moved to the new house before.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, another ceremony will be held to represent the official occupancy.

Yang Ruoqing was busy preparing presents. Granny's house moved into a new house, and she was going to prepare a housewarming gift.

For the housewarming ceremony, Yang Ruoqing discussed with Luo Fengtang and drew up a list:
Two pots of green pine potted plants are placed in the yard, and the middle hall in the main room.

A complete set of blue and white porcelain tea sets,

A pair of murals in Dajie's study and a pair of the Four Treasures of the Study.

In addition, of course, there is the gift money for the finale.
