"Hey, people die for money and birds die for food. That couple used to be lazy people in the village. If they had any money, they would spend it buying wine and meat and stuffing it into the hole under their noses." The man said.

"I was just thinking, looking at the two of them holding back their joy but not daring to show it when they left tonight, the general's wife must have given them an eye-opening silver reward," he added.

The woman said: "That's for sure. This wave can catch Xu Dakui and relieve the general's wife of her bad breath. Da Wang and his wife deserve the greatest credit."

"And when Xu Dakui fell into the manure pit before, no one dared to step forward, including us."

"As soon as the general's wife said a word, the two of them rushed forward to fish for people in the cesspit. They rolled up their sleeves and directly inserted their arms into the cesspit. To be honest, they were the only ones with this money.

You have the ability to make money," she said.

The man nodded and sighed: "That big Wang, before this happened, he was brothers with Xu Dakui. The two of them often went to the county town together to drink wine and visit prostitutes."

"For the sake of money, I sold this good brother who wanted to be my boss all at once. He is really a fair-weather friend!" he said.

"Hmph!" The woman snorted disdainfully and said, "Those people are the least loyal and will fall out of favor faster than anything else. You are not allowed to associate with them, and you must not be fooled by them!"

The man said: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. I'm just wondering now, how much silver reward did Da Wang and his wife get? How do they plan to spend it next?"

The woman sneered, "I'm not saying that they, as a couple, can share adversity but not wealth."

"Just watch, I'm just going to put it here. The more money they get, the easier it will be for them to do something wrong!"

…

"Ah sneeze!"

Dawang's wife suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Who the hell is scolding me?" She raised her hand to wipe her nose and said to herself.

Next to her, her man, Da Wang, was eating a plate of salt and pepper peanuts in his hand, making a crunching sound.

"I'm not scolding you, I'm just jealous of you." Da Wang said with a smile.

Dawang's wife was startled for a moment, then understood.

"That's right, we got such a large sum of money tonight. From now on, we can eat whatever we want and buy whatever we want. Who wouldn't envy us?" she said proudly.

"Hey, daddy, can the money in this banknote really be cashed? It's such a thin piece of paper, like a leaf. I'm worried that it will break if my fingers are just a little heavier.

!" She said with excitement.

"Oh my dear, you must be more careful. We will depend on this banknote for the rest of our lives!"

Da Wang rushed over and carefully took the banknote from the woman's hand.

"Sixty taels of silver. Our family of seven eats, drinks, and eats together all year round, so we have to spend a full five taels of silver." Da Wang calculated.

"With these sixty taels of silver, we can sit on our hands for twelve years! After twelve years, our two sons will grow up and marry wives, and our daughter will also get married. My parents will probably have passed away long ago.

Then we can rely on our son and wife to support us in old age, and we won’t have to endure hardships in this life!”

The more Da Wang talked, the more excited he became, and his saliva was flying and his eyebrows were dancing.

Da Wang's wife also got excited after hearing this, and her eyes brightened up.

"Are we just thinking about sitting in vain for the past twelve years? Don't we want to use this money to make money again? Who would have too much money?" said the woman.

Da Wang's eyes flashed, "It makes sense. When the time comes, I will use it as a loan shark, and the interest will be compounded, and the money will make money. Haha, don't say that we have been sitting on nothing for twelve years, and we will be able to enjoy the rest of our lives."

On the same night, in Xujia Village, except for Xu Dakui's family, almost every other family was very happy.

Because they went to receive the reward according to their heads, now they also received two hundred and four hundred coins.

Some people’s children were also included, and they received a total of 500 coins!

With these few hundred pennies in my hand, I feel confident for the start of spring, and I don’t have to go hungry during this lean year.

The most important thing is that the money is easy to come by. They stopped in the backyard of Xu Dakui's house, chased and intercepted them, and then got the reward. This general and his wife are really generous!

But at Xu Dakui's house at the entrance of the village, the joyful atmosphere lingering over the whole village did not drift into Xu Dakui's house at all.

On the contrary, the crying in the room had barely stopped before.

In Xu Cailing's room, the lights were on. Xu Cailing was lying on the bed with her eyebrows closed and her face pale and weak.

Mrs. Lu was sitting by the bed, holding an empty bowl filled with medicine in her hand, her head buried in tears.

There was a brazier in front of the bed. Xu Dakui was wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the edge of the brazier to warm himself up, his teeth clicking together and making a "clucking" sound.

"Old, what's wrong with me this year? Why am I so unlucky? I'm freezing to death, I almost died..." Xu Dakui babbled, trembling.

Lu glanced at Xu Dakui and said, "No one will feel sorry for you if you freeze to death. Who told you to run to the latrine?"

Xu Dakui said: "There are so many people here who rush to arrest me..."

Lu said: "Stop talking, you will be upset after hearing this. You will be covered in feces and your mouth will be full of feces!"

"You are a man after all, so this little bit of suffering is nothing, but Xiaoling, the poor girl, has to suffer the same consequences!"

"Yang Ruoqing stepped on her so hard that she broke our Xiaoling's bones."

"The doctor came here earlier and applied medicinal wine and inserted silver needles and other things. Our daughter has thin arms and legs. She has never suffered such a thing since she was born!"

"It's one thing to endure hardship. I just hope that this foot will not become the root cause of disease in the future. If such a beautiful girl has a lame leg, it will be bad. It will be difficult to find her husband's family!"

Hearing what Lu said, Xu Dakui also looked depressed.

"I'll just say that that dead girl Xiaohua is a loser, a god of plague, and a broom star just like her mother," Xu Dakui said,

"I said at the beginning that I don't recognize her, but you had to let me go and recognize her father and daughter. Are you okay now? I missed eating meat and drinking soup, but we were all hit with knives. This is so unlucky!"

Xu Dakui said bitterly, attributing all these bad experiences to Xiao Hua, gnashing his teeth, and the muscles on his face were twitching!

Mrs. Lu was also so angry that her chest heaved up and down: "It's not a good thing. That little bitch Xiaohua doesn't regard you as his biological father at all. Anyone who cares about family ties at all wouldn't do such a cruel thing!"

Xu Dakui said: "Then what can we do? Who allowed that damn girl to meet such a noble man as the General Protector of the Country? What can we, ordinary people, do?"
