Chapter 40
Mrs. Wang came back soon, with a brand new pannier on her back, which was full of goods.

There is rice, salt and oil, and a small ceramic stove, which is convenient for cooking.

Mrs. Wang put down these things, took out five pairs of hemp shoes from the back basket, and waved them triumphantly in front of Xu Yue's three brothers and sisters.

"It's shoes!" Xu Yue exclaimed in surprise.

The three brothers and sisters looked down at their feet together, the bark shoes were already rotten.

Wang felt distressed but couldn't help feeling funny, and urged: "Go and wash your feet."

"Uh-huh!"

The three brothers and sisters hurriedly took off the rotten bark on their feet, ran to the well to fetch water to wash their feet, and happily put on new shoes.

Hearing this happy movement, Tong opened the door and looked towards the well. Seeing the three brothers and sister Xu Yue happily wearing new shoes, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just turning around, I saw my aunt and Xiao Lang barefoot, looking at the three Xu family brothers and sisters enviously, with a smile on their faces, a slight frown, and a helpless sigh in their hearts.

She doesn't have Wang's skills, she just hopes that the leopard in the hands of the child's father and the eldest brother of the Xu family will be sold smoothly, and some money will be given to the child's father to bring back, so that she can also make a pair of new shoes for the children. .

"This is your home."

When Mrs. Tong was still feeling guilty for not being able to buy shoes for her child, Mrs. Wang took out the remaining half of the silk, cut it in half and handed it to her on the spot.

Tong Shi turned around in surprise, Wang Shi had already stuffed the cut silk into her arms, smiled slightly, turned around and led the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family back to their room.

"Aniang." The Wang family aunt looked at her mother eagerly, hoping that her mother would accept the cloth so that she and her younger brother could have new shoes to wear.

The dazed Tong Shi finally came back to his senses, with tears of emotion shining in his eyes, he bent down and bowed to the next door, and said softly: "Thank you."

I don't know if the people in the next room heard it, but after a while, the soft voice of the girl from the Xu family came from the next door,

"Auntie, Xiaolang, let your aunt come over for dinner!"

The siblings of the Wang family laughed immediately, and they pulled A Niang excitedly to go to the next door.

Tong shook her head helplessly, pulled her hands away from the siblings, first hid the cloth in her arms, then locked the door, and then walked towards the next door with one hand.

The young man of the Wang family was still unsteady, and before he entered the door, he gave a "plop" to the mother and son of the Xu family in the house, making everyone laugh.

The two mothers took their children and had a full meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

In the evening, Xu Da and Wang Dayou, who had been away for a whole day, came back together.

Wang Dayou carried three empty poles on his shoulders, and Xu Dayou carried a rectangular wooden box on his back, with carvings and patterns on it and varnish on it. Although it was not brand new, the texture was not that of a box that ordinary people would use.

When Wang looked at it, she almost had a clue in her heart, and motioned for the two of them to enter the room first.

The house was not soundproof, so Tong couldn't bear it and asked her husband in a low voice, "How is it? How much did you sell for?"

Wang Dayou mysteriously stretched out five fingers, Tong Shi exclaimed in disbelief, "Five thousand dollars?"

Wang Dayou hurriedly asked her to keep her voice down, but looking at the smiling face, Tong's words were almost the same.

The rich make money really well.Xu Yue exclaimed in her heart, but at the same time couldn't help but look forward to it.

The wooden box brought by General Xu was brought up in front of everyone, and the drawer on the box was pulled open, and the contents of the box were taken out.

Six bolts of silk and a bag full of five baht coins were placed on the table and jingled.

Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Xu Dashi sat down calmly, and said in a leisurely manner:

"The nobleman in the village came from Chang'an, and the people from Kyoto are generous. They wanted the whole leopard, and they also took away the bird feathers and weasel, saying that it was for the nobleman who came from Chang'an. Make feather crowns and pens."

"The steward gave me six bolts of silk and another five hundred dollars. Seeing that we had nothing to store the cloth in, he also gave me an old box."

"Here!" Xu Da patted the small cloth box in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "This is the wooden box, made of good wood, with oilcloth inside, and waterproof."

Xu Da, who had carried all kinds of backpacks before, especially liked this wooden box, it was sent to his heart, and it was not in vain that he gave that handful of bird feathers as a gift to the steward.

Of course, there is no need to tell everyone about such small details. The cloth and money I got back this time totaled [-] yuan. According to the current prices in Daqing, it is enough to buy a room.

With this money, the family can finally end their life of living and sleeping in the open.

It's a pity that part of the money has to be distributed to the Wang family.

Xu Da's heart is bleeding!

But Wang's hinting eyes had already swept over, and looking at the expectant faces of Wang Dayou and his wife, Xu Da endured the pain and chose two pieces of cloth and stuffed them into Wang Dayou's arms.

The remaining four pieces of cloth plus five hundred dollars were quickly put into the wooden box, and the lid was closed, and there was nothing left!

Wang Day was startled, then pleased, and then showed a look of embarrassment.

Xu Daxin thought, don't you think it's too little?
When he was about to settle the account with Wang Dayou in a serious manner, Wang Dayou suddenly stood up, bowed to the husband and wife, and bowed deeply.

Xu Da and Wang hurriedly got up to avoid the big gift, and hurried to help Wang Dayou.

"Wang Dayou, what are you doing? Get up!" Xu Da was speechless, helpless, and a little guilty.

After all, he just wanted to find someone to settle the score.

No, just as Wang Dayou pulled it up, Tong's side pulled the two children to kneel down again.

Wang looked at it, good guy, is this family genetically weak, or why would they just kneel?
"What are you doing again? Get up for me!"

Mrs. Wang pulled Tong's mother and son up, she was very strong, and Tong's mother and son were picked up like chicken cubs by her.

Tong was so shocked that she choked back the words of gratitude that came to her mouth, and after a long while, she said in a daze:
"That half horse is enough this morning, how can I return so much of this?"

Listening to his wife's words, Wang Dayou asked in surprise, "Is there still half a horse?"

"It's just one zhang." Mrs. Wang rushed to answer, interrupting Mrs. Tong's explanation.

Wang Dayou breathed a sigh of relief, but he still pushed back the piece of cloth in front of him.

He has self-knowledge, most of the prey are shot by Wang Shi and Xu Da, and he is just helping them behind, even holding a piece of cloth makes him feel guilty.

It's just that he was not the only one in the family, and he couldn't do it as an ordinary person to return the two bolts of cloth.

Xu Yue and her sister silently watched the adults come and go to persuade and decline, and looked at each other, and they both saw the fear of social interaction in each other's eyes.

In the end, the adults who rejected each other calmed down the refund storm by saying that your family will help me with the work and my family will pay you.
