Chapter 3404 Extra Zhou Yin 20

The grain bought by the county magistrate lasted for a while, and the relief grain provided by the court was finally transported to Luojiang County.

In addition to providing food relief, the imperial court also allocated wheat seeds.

All the villagers in Qili Village went to collect it and began to revive themselves. They cut off the grains of rice that had failed to harvest and then began to prepare for planting winter wheat.

Zhou Jin took the opportunity to go to the county seat to inquire about the caravan, but heard that the caravan no longer passed through Luojiang County after selling all its goods.

After the New Year, he finally asked someone to inquire about the situation of the caravan in Mianzhou, but he heard that their trade route had a new manager. Now the manager was no longer the same one.

I heard that the former chief steward was fined and sent to the northwest trade route for selling the buyer's goods without permission.

It was two years later when Zhou Jin finally scraped together the money and sent someone to contact the big manager.

I heard that Zhou Yin went on a long trip for the first time. At that time, he was very hungry and his body was empty. So he fell seriously ill on the way and was left in Shangzhou by the caravan. Now he has no idea where he is going, and he doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead...

When Zhou Jin heard this reply, he squatted on the ground and said nothing for a long time. Finally, it was almost dark before he had to get up and leave.

Instead of staying in a hotel, he went out of the city overnight, stayed one night in the Chenghuang Temple outside the city, and hurried back to the village the next day.

Walking back to Qili Village from Mianzhou City, Zhou Jin took Zhou Dalang for two days and two nights. As soon as he returned to Qili Village, he fell head over heels when he saw the door of his house.

When she woke up, Qian was sitting by the bed crying softly.

Zhou Jin lay on the bed silently, and after a while he stood up and said: "Don't cry, save more money in the past few years, and when you have enough money for travel, let Dalang and Erlang go to Shangzhou to look for it."

Qian silently wiped away her tears and nodded.

From that day on, Zhou Jin, who had only worked hard for two years, developed another stingy problem.

People who used to spend it without blinking an eye as long as they had money are now so desperate that they have to bargain back and forth even if they buy vegetables for five cents. Even if they can't lower the price, they still have to try to barter.

He immediately became one of the most unpopular people in the Grand Bazaar.

Zhou Jin and Qian have been saving money, but for people in the countryside, the only way to make money is through farming, with two harvests a year. It seems that they have two big incomes.

But the costs are even higher.

There are many children in Lao Zhou's family, and there are a few young ones waiting for food, so only one, two, three or four sons can help, and the others are just a hindrance.

Especially the newly born Liu Liu. His birth made the old Zhou family even worse.

Qian's health deteriorated after giving birth to him. He collapsed within half a year and had to be raised at home.

She didn't believe in evil, and wanted to try hard, but every time her body became more dilapidated. The old doctor who came to see her said directly to her: "You were exhausted in the early years, and you were so hungry in the past few years."

Coupled with excessive childbirth and fatigue, this body is already riddled with holes."

He said: "If you take good care of yourself, you may be able to live for a few more years. If you still try to be brave, your family will send you away in half a year at most."

Zhou Jin didn't expect it to be so serious. He was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "We will raise him!"

Ms. Qian: "What else are you raising? It's already like this. Living is not only a drag on you, but I also suffer."

"Don't you want to meet Xiao Yin?" Zhou Jin said: "The family has saved a lot of money. After this year's harvest is completed, I will ask Erlang to follow the caravan to Shangzhou to find someone."

Qian was a little hesitant in her heart. She wanted to see Zhou Yin again, but she was also afraid that she would be a burden to her family if she lived.

"That's it," Zhou Jin said, "There are also the fifth and sixth children. They are still young and need you to carry them. The fourth child can only go to the ground."

The dark, skinny little Zhou Lang raised his smile when he heard this, and grinned at his mother.

He was still young and had no idea what his parents were talking about. Anyway, when his father mentioned him, he didn't reach out to beat him, so he just laughed.

Zhou Jin comforted Qian and coaxed her to take the medicine. When the autumn harvest was over, he personally sent Erlang away, not to Mianzhou City, but to Luojiang County.

Zhou Erlang went to Luojiang County to do carpentry. This was a job that Zhou Jin had managed to find for him. "Don't rush home after you're done. Help the old master with some work there. If you have a stutter, don't take it."

People’s money…”

Zhou Yilang: "Dad, is it really okay for us to lie to mother like this?"

"Then what should I do? You have almost spent the money on medical treatment, and you still plan to go to Shangzhou for begging?" Zhou Jin said: "I have asked the passing caravan to go to Shangzhou to inquire about the news. I should receive the news by the twelfth lunar month of next year at the latest.

Well, anyway, you should be more honest these days."

Zhou Zuorang muttered: "Aren't I afraid that you will be cheated? That's not much money left at home."

"You won't be deceived. I've already inquired about it. The caravan is from Mianzhou and comes back every year to celebrate the New Year."

But the caravan still couldn't bring back any news about Zhou Yin. It was said that they had not found him. Shangzhou was so big and Zhou Jin didn't have an exact address. He only knew his name and place of origin. They really had nowhere to look.

Zhou Jin returned to Luojiang County in disappointment, and took Erlang home, who had been working as a carpenter for almost two months, and told Qian, "I didn't find it. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and Erlang came back with the caravan. Let's save money first.

Let’s go and find out more in two years.”

This time Qian was unusually silent and did not respond.

Zhou Jin didn't say anything more, but asked his three daughters-in-law to keep an eye on Qian, fearing that something would happen to her.

They didn't know that Zhou Yin had just gotten married to Xia Xin at this time, and they were just getting married.

They originally planned to return to Mianzhou after the Chinese New Year, but they were delayed due to family matters, so Zhou Yin could only put aside the matter and manage the property under the Xia family's name first.

In addition to the yard where he currently lives, Xia Yan also has a shop, which is rented to others, and two pieces of land, both in Hongtian Village.

Because Zhou Yin was a bride-in-law, the family had strong opinions on the ownership of these two pieces of land. However, Xia Yan was strong and the most promising person in the Xia family, so everyone did not talk about it for the time being.

Zhou Yin seemed to know their thoughts and had been working hard to make money. Finally, he bought another piece of land outside Hongtian Village, and it was not small...

Buying a property is a very important matter for a family no matter when. Through this matter, Zhou Yin showed the Xia family in Hongtian Village that he was not someone to be bullied and that he had the ability to make the Xia family live a better life.

People in the world always respect and fear capable people, so Zhou Yin slowly gained a foothold, and Xia Yan was still there.

Therefore, some elders in the clan still dislike Zhou Yin very much, and even do not agree with him, but they dare not disown him.

However, they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, because after Zhou Yin and Xia Xin got married, there was no news for two years.

Xia Xin's mother was also very anxious and couldn't help but find many folk remedies. However, Zhou Yin did not allow Xia Xin to take them. He just took her to the medical clinic to find a famous old doctor. Finally, she ran back and told Xia Xin's mother, "The doctor said it was my ex."

My body has been starved to death over the past few years, and now I am weak, so I need to wait two years before having another child."

Mother Xia glanced at her daughter, who had her head lowered and her eyes were weak and red. What else didn't she understand?
