Chapter 425: Leaving the Village
Widow Li was known to be timid in the village, but she was willing to risk her life for her daughter. This is the greatness of a mother's love.
Li Xiuniang burst into tears. She crawled to Widow Li's side, holding her and crying uncontrollably. She regretted so much, why did she focus on competing with Gu Ye'er at that time, and she also thought of competing with others for Young Master Ling.
After being driven back to the mountain village, she couldn't do anything except the simple technique of purifying medicinal materials that she learned at the Gu family. Even her younger brother can recognize and grow medicine, which is better than her. People, Gu Ye'er is proficient in the processing of various medicinal materials, can make medicine, and has a great master. Now that she has recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestry, she has become a girl in the government's government. Why should she compare herself to others?
She has fallen into deep self-blame and remorse for months. After only a few good days, she was fascinated, not knowing how high and thick the sky was. How could she be able to climb on someone like Young Master Ling?
Gu Ye'er knew medical skills and saved Young Master Ling's life, what does she compare to others? At that time, she was really fascinated, and in the final analysis, she was jealous of Gu Ye'er. It was this terrible jealousy that drove her to take a wrong step and ruined her own future.
If she had been able to recognize herself, she would still be like Gu Lier and Li Xiuer, working as a steward in a pharmaceutical factory. When she was a part-time worker, she would go shopping with her sisters, buy food, clothes and some small children. The thing, saves dozens of taels of silver every year... not like now, the family owes her a huge debt of silver, and she can't look up in the whole village!
Now she regrets it, but it's too late!
"No! It's all my fault! It has nothing to do with my family. Lord Shizi, I have committed a heinous crime, and I don't ask for forgiveness from you and Miss Ye'er. Please be merciful and spare my mother and my brother. They do nothing. I know!" Li Xiuniang kowtowed like pounding garlic, tears of remorse in her eyes.
Chu Muhua frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Since my sister didn't arrest you in the first place, it must be because of Gu Nian's friendship at the beginning. This prince is not someone who will kill them all... Well, you leave Qingshan Village and never come back. Don't show up in Yancheng. I don't want my sister's medicine field and pharmaceutical factory to be destroyed by your hands one day!"
"Many thanks to the eldest son, many thanks to the eldest son!" As long as she doesn't send her daughter to office, Widow Li is willing to accept no matter what the conditions are. In her opinion, to enter the prison of the official yamen, you have to peel off the skin. Especially the dignitaries they offended, let alone get out of the cell alive.
Lord Shizi was merciful and only drove them out of Qingshan Village. As long as life is still there, there is nothing that can't be overcome. The worst is just as before, the family lived a poor life together.
The old village chief slowly sighed in relief and praised: "The heart of Shizi, a bodhisattva, saved your life, so don't hurry up and thank Shizi for not killing him!"
After all, Li Xiuniang is still close to his family. He couldn't bear to watch this grandniece go to jail either. Fortunately, Grandpa Shizi didn't take it seriously. Shi Ziye and Ye Er are worthy of being brothers and sisters, and they are both kind-hearted.
Li Xiuniang earnestly kowtowed to Prince Zhenguo Prince a few times, then got up and retreated under Chu Muhua's wave.
After leaving Qingshan Village, where can she go as a little girl? Li Xiuniang was full of confusion. Suddenly, she saw her mother and brother, who were packing the valuables and their clothes at home. She opened her eyes wide and asked in a voiceless voice, "Mother, Xiaohai, what are you doing? The Shizi didn't tell you to leave the village... "
Widow Li looked at the yard that had just been built, and reluctantly wiped away her tears. Hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at her daughter lovingly: "Silly boy, we are a family! You are also the flesh that fell from my body, how could mother be willing to let you leave alone?"
"Sister! Mother is right, the family must be together no matter where they go!" Li Xiaohai put the packed clothes into his medicine basket. There are also some medicine-collecting tools. If everything falls, they have to be brought. In the future, I will rely on them to support my mother and sister!
"Mother! Xiaohai! You don't have to do this... The life at home is just a little better, and the two acres of medicinal fields are about to be harvested. Our house is a new house just built... You don't have to do it for me, Throw away all the good days you have. If your daughter has done something wrong, you can't be involved in suffering and punishing you together!"
Li Xiuniang's eyes were swollen from crying. No amount of tears can make up for the mistakes she made, nor can she go back to the past...
"Silly girl! Mother knows that your nature is not bad, but it's just a single thought that caused such a situation. It's okay, our house and medicine field, I'll go to your uncle and ask to see if anyone in the village is willing to take over. Just give me some silver, no matter where we settle down, we have to have some money in hand!" As she said, Widow Li put down the softness in her hand and hurried to the old village chief's house.
Prince Zhen Guogong and the people he brought have already settled in the house on the mountainside of Gu's family, and they asked the steward of the medicine field to take him around the medicine field in the mountain, and they were supposed to help his sister inspect her property. Except for a small part of the medicine fields, which were bought by the villagers, most of them belonged to the family, and all of them were rented to grow medicines for the villagers.
Seeing the well-grown medicinal materials and listening to the compliments from the steward of the medicine field to his sister, Chu Muhua sincerely admired this smart and capable sister who grew up in the mountains. Gu's Pharmacy, founded by the younger sister, is not only famous in the north, but also in the capital. My sister is only thirteen years old, amazing! It is indeed the blood of the Chu family! !
Widow Li found the old village chief and explained her purpose. Yaotian, that's a hen that lays golden eggs. No one else can buy it if they want to buy it. Not to mention she sells it at the original price, even if it is ten times more, some people are willing to take over.
The old village chief bought it out of his own pocket, and gave Widow Li one hundred taels of silver along with the medicinal materials that were about to be harvested in the medicine field.
As for the newly built house in her family, Patriarch Gu has many children and grandchildren, and the family is not enough to live in, so he has long wanted to spend money on a new yard. The old village chief asked Patriarch Gu to ask, but Patriarch Gu bought it for twenty taels without saying a word.
Widow Li carried silver and a pair of children, and left Qingshan Village quietly at dawn the next day.
Later, someone saw Widow Li's family in Huangjia Village, a few dozen miles away from Qingshan Village. With the help of her parents' brothers, Widow Li settled down in Huangjiazhai with her children. Widow Li took her children to open a few acres of wasteland on the mountain, and the food they planted could barely fill her stomach. Li Xiaohai often went up the mountain to collect herbs, and Li Xiuniang picked up the ones she knew and cooked them, so that she could sell more silver taels.
