C3

Qin Fu Gen walked out of the house slowly after a while, and chased after Qin Sanniu to the entrance of the courtyard. He stared at Qin Sanniu's back for a while, and thought about what Widow Song had just said.

"Sanniang is not young anymore. Marrying someone is a matter of just one or two years. She looks after you very well right now, but what about after she marries?" Look at the village head's daughter, how many of them are thinking about their own father? If I don't plunder something from you, it would be good to subsidize my family! Furthermore, how much money do you have to subsidize the dowry for her marriage? " "Even the Si Family in the city would have to recruit a group of girls every month. Although she looks like a little girl on the surface, she's actually just looking for a wife, so the money she gets would be a little more. With the looks and looks of the three girls, ten silver would be much easier."

Ten taels of silver. Qin Fugen lowered his head and gestured with his two hands. Ten taels of silver was enough for him to eat and drink for a year.

Qin Fu Gen's thoughts could not help but loosen up. He changed his clothes, combed his hair, and stood at the entrance of the village to wait for the oxcart. He spent two coins to go to the city and ask Si Family about his whereabouts.

On the other side, Qin Sanniu gave all of her eggs to Aunt Li, and counted them carefully in front of her before she smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I'll have to trouble you again."

Isn't this just a convenient matter, "Aunt Li waved his hand and took out thirty bronze coins from his bag, then stuffed it into Qin Sanniu's hands without saying anything further." This is the money for selling eggs, keep it well yourself, don't let your father see it. "

"Thank you, Aunt Li," Qin Sanniu took out the money pouch on his clothes and carefully counted the copper coins before putting them in.

She had been collecting eggs for a few years already, and other than spending a bit of it in the middle, she had gotten the Aunt Li to help her change a thousand copper coins into a tael of silver last month.

She did some embroidery work every month and had at least 200 copper coins. This money was enough to buy and sell rice and noodles for the father and daughter pair. Qin Zifu refused to do the work on the land. He gave the land to someone else to grow. He could get two stones of grain a year, but other than that, there was no other income.

Before Qin Sanniu's mother passed away, the mother and daughter pair had to work embroidery together. The family's livelihood was still barely sustainable, but now they couldn't even eat a single meal.

The Aunt Li had helped the mother and daughter before Qin Sanniu died, and now thhehe saw Qin Sanniu as pitiful, he felt that Qin Fu was really hateful. However, she didn't have much he could do, other than helping Qin Sanniu exchange some silver, she could only give people some of the leftover meat dishes from last night as she came over to do embroidery.

Qin Sanniu stayed at Aunt Li's house for the majority of the day, and only when the sun had set did she return home to prepare dinner. She had eaten a bowl of porridge and half an egg in the morning. If not for the fact that she had eaten a little at Aunt Li's house, Qin Sanniu would definitely have been hungry. She was now 14 years old, and could not wait to eat a little. However, she was born into a poor family, and even if she woke up in the middle of the night, she would only be able to drink two gulps of cold water before tightening her belt and living.

This kind of life would definitely come to an end one day. Qin Sanniu had her own plans and considerations in his heart. She had already saved one tael of silver. This was a good start. In a year or so, she would be married. No matter who she married to, as long as she put her heart into living and left a way out for herself, she wouldn't be like her mother, who would be so stupid as to work half her life for a man without any benefits.

No one was completely reliable, except himself.
