Chapter 4939: The wish of the best mother-in-law 39
The wife of the Ushio family replied in a letter, saying that the stepmother of the Taoer family wanted to sell the two children for six taels of silver. After all, the boys were worth more.
The wife of the Ushio family negotiated the price for a long time. When it came to five taels, the price was not expensive.
If there are two children of this age in the hands of a nanny shop in the city, they will look more evenly matched, at least 1 tael each, but in the village, there are basically 1 tael for girls and 5 taels for boys.
Yuan Wense took out his small treasury and asked Tao'er to withdraw five taels of silver. He also took out a bunch of large coins, one hundred cents per bunch, to give to the Ushio family's daughter-in-law as a reward.
In less than half an hour, the two children arrived at Yu's house carrying small bundles.
Both children were thin and small, with alert eyes. Even when they saw Tao'er, they showed no signs of relaxing. Tao'er almost shed tears when she looked at them.
"This is the eldest lady of our family. It is the eldest lady who saved you. You have to thank her. If it weren't for her, you would have been separated by your stepmother and you don't know where to sell it."
The boy's stubborn eyes did not ease at all because Yuan Wense was their new master, but after hearing Tao'er's words, he still lowered his head.
The little girl is ignorant, naive, and obedient.
In the end, the three people kowtowed to Yuan Wense, and Tao'er said many loyal words.
But Yuan Wense didn't take this to heart. Just listen to this kind of words. Some people will really abide by it. Some people see greater benefits, so how can they remember the oath at this time?
In the memory of the original owner, the girl named Pearl who served her when she was a child got married, and later worked for the original supervisor at Zhuangzi. She had a pretty good character.
Tao'er had only served her for two years, and the relationship between master and servant was not very deep. She did not take Tao'er away after she got married. Tao'er stayed in the Yu Mansion and had no idea about her future marriage or anything.
As people move forward in life, most of the people who have been with them in childhood, adolescence, and youth will be discarded along the way and never hear from each other forever. In modern society, the speed of information transmission is fast, and you can still know it by chance. You say she, she, she.
, married a businessman and gave birth to a son.
In ancient times, it was common for sisters not to see each other for twenty or thirty years after their marriage, even if they were married far apart.
The original text said, "Taoer, take the two children and wash them well and shave their hair. Second sister-in-law, go to the front yard to get some coarse cloth and make two sets of clean clothes for the two children."
The daughter-in-law of the Ushio family said: "This child can just take some old clothes and change them. New cloth is used everywhere, even when sleeping at night. Where can this child sleep?"
The original text said: "Let him sleep in the front yard, and let Oxtail say hello to my father."
"yes."
Taoer happily led her siblings away.
Tao'er looks ordinary, but she does things cleanly, is very capable, and has a sense of responsibility. She dares to take risks for her younger siblings, so she is considered a useful person.
At night, Tao'er and her younger sister Duo'er lived with Yuan Wense. Yuan Wense asked them to live in the side room instead of sleeping on their own feet. Tao'er struggled a bit, but later she obeyed.
Yuan Wense closed the door, took out the bottle with the ring in it, and poured out the water inside.
There was no trace of blood on the handkerchief or in the water. Apparently, the faint trace of blood seeped slowly into the ring. The ring that could suck blood must be the gold finger.
