The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 158 Beggar's Earthquake Room

“That’s a quilt!”

"The quilt is torn and smelly. To be honest, I'd hate to use it as a wall."

Zhou rolled her eyes at Su He. She was really too rich to give up her body. "

"Uncle, let's go to the city to find some water first. We can buy it with silver. Let's drink some ginger and brown sugar water to warm ourselves up. Also, if there is a chance, buy some hot water bottles. The little radishes at home are weak and I'm afraid they can't handle it. And here's the recipe. Let's get some herbs according to it."

Su He looks like a wealthy man. If he offers some money in exchange for a chance to save his life, even a fool would know what to choose.

"Uncle, don't touch your money. Use mine first so that you can settle accounts later. Come back when you have spent all the money."

Su He took out 200 taels of silver, and Wang Fugui looked at his niece speechlessly.

"If there's still time, you can sell some of your jewelry."

Su He took the opportunity to give silver to secretly remind Wang Fugui.

"Okay, I got it. Binzi, Liangzi, Jingui, and Lusheng, come with me to buy some water. Let's drive a carriage and buy some medicinal herbs as well."

Wang Bin and Wang Liang stood up quickly. Wang Jingui also stood up obediently following his elder brother's instructions. Lu Sheng pointed at himself in surprise and said, "My dear relative, I don't need to go."

Before Wang Fugui could say anything, Lu Wenniang looked at Lu's father sharply and started to criticize him.

"Why don't you use it? Are you not going to eat or drink water? Are you still thinking of living off your brother? My brother is so young and he has to go to the city to buy food. What's the point of you being his father?"

It turned out that Lu's father was called Lu Sheng. Su He watched Wen Niang hand the small stone to Wang Sheng, then he stood up and went towards Lu's father.

"If you don't get up, you don't have to follow us in the future. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. We will go our separate ways from now on. Mother, divorce him, and from now on you can bring your brother with me. I'll let my brother go buy some water later."

As Wen Niang said this, she took out Mr. Lu's luggage, threw it in front of him and told him to get out.

Mother Lu wiped her tears and looked up at Su He to ask for the divorce papers.

"Hehua, do you still have the divorce documents? If not, can you help write two copies? I'll pay for it."

"I didn't say I wouldn't go. What are you doing? My dear, my legs are numb. Hehe, okay, let's go."

Father Lu jumped up and dragged Wang Fugui towards the city.

Wen Niang snorted coldly and watched her father walk away before going back to hug her son.

Wang Sheng quietly gave Wen Niang a thumbs up. This family still depends on Wen Niang to support it.

Juhua's parents were restless, and Juhua's father also wanted to buy some water, but he really wasn't feeling well and had no strength after walking for so long.

"Chrysanthemum, you can take your parents to sew quilts later. For those with holes, find some scraps of cloth to piece them together. The rest of us also have to hurry and build the house."

Juhua's parents were very happy when they heard this. It didn't take much effort to sew a quilt and they could do it while sitting. It was already daybreak and there was no need to light a kerosene lamp.

"Okay, leave this to us, Lotus, don't worry."

Juhua happily took her sister Xinghua to get the torn quilt, and her two younger brothers also jumped up and down to help.

"Grandpa, we still have four carts at home. This one is easy to dismantle. The bottom of the carriage is empty, so we can wrap the quilt on the cart to block the wind. Then we can make the roof with oilcloth, which will make it lighter. In case of an earthquake, it won't hurt if the roof hits us."

"We should build at least two. The cooking shed should be separated from the sleeping shed. This way it will be safer. We are afraid that if an earthquake comes, sparks will fly everywhere and hit us, and we will be finished."

Su He gestured with her hands in front of her grandfather and told him her ideas. If there was anything unreasonable, her grandfather would give her opinions on the spot. Her uncles and several others were also listening. They had done carpentry work before, so they could give some opinions.

Ten minutes later, everyone started working.

Some were dismantling the cart, some were sewing quilts, and several little kids were covering themselves with quilts to keep warm in the carriage.

"Aunt, I still have three water bags here. Let me make some ginger and brown sugar water for everyone to drive away the cold."

Su He pretended to take it out of the carriage, but it was actually in the space.

"Hasn't the ginger been eaten yet?"

"I bought it later and forgot to tell you."

Zhou took the ginger and nodded, then asked Yanzhi to help start the fire. Jin also came to help.

The water from the three water bags filled half of the pot. Wang Zhi took Lu Yuan and Lu Qiao to find some dry grass and increased the fire to boil water.

Zhou was cutting ginger there. Because of the lack of water, she didn't wash the ginger and put it into the pot right after cutting it. Fortunately, the ginger was relatively clean and there was no mud. This was also what Su He took out from the space.

After 20 minutes, the smell of ginger had spread far away, and the villagers in the distance were looking at it enviously, because they would not have any share this time.

"Wood, you guys come and get it yourselves."

Su He first served two bowls to grandma and grandpa, "Grandpa, you drink first, I'll go get two more bowls."

"Lotus, don't worry about us. We'll go get some more later. Your grandma and I only need one, and there's still one bowl for your grandpa and grandma to drink together."

The four old men were not idle either. They were watching Wang Quangui and others building the house, and no one could persuade them to get into the carriage to avoid the snow.

A few idiots carefully brought a bowl of hot ginger and brown sugar water into the carriage and drank it slowly.

Chen Wen also imitated Mu and carefully carried the bowl into the carriage.

Tietou went up first, then brought everyone's bowls up and placed them on the stools, and then pulled everyone up one by one. Miaomiao and Tiantian went up first, then Chen Wen, and finally Mu Tou.

In another carriage, Wen Niang and Xiao Shitou were also inside. Since Xiao Shitou could not walk yet and was still very young, Wen Niang could only stay in the carriage to take care of the baby.

Half of the water in the pot was gone in an instant. Su He took out a water bag and added water into it. When asked, he said he had stored some water.

Wait until the water boils, then add some ginger and brown sugar. Su He stirs gently with a spoon, and the brown sugar dissolves quickly.

"Aunt Chrysanthemum, it's ready. You guys come and have some too."

Su He sat by the side and drank a bowl of soup herself. After that she finally felt a little warmer.

Zhou drank directly from the bowl that Su He had used. Juhua also took two bowls and the family members took turns drinking.

Su He served a bowl to Liu Bai. This man was busy all the time and Liu Niang didn't care about him. Su He looked at him and felt sorry for him.

"Let's drink first and then have a drink."

Liu Bai drank it all in one gulp. Perhaps it was because Su He added too much ginger, Liu Bai started coughing violently after drinking it.

Su He suddenly felt that his good intentions had led to a bad outcome, and he took the bowl and left in embarrassment.

By the time everyone had finished drinking, there was still a whole pot of ginger water in the pot.

Su He went to call Dali and Goudan. They were originally tenants hired by Su He. Now Su He gave priority to taking care of these two families. Su He asked the two families to take half of the earthenware jar back each.

"I have some ginger here, Dali, please help me take it to the three village heads' homes."

Su He took out three prepared packets of ginger and handed them to Dali, as well as two small packets.

"This belongs to both of your families. I'm giving it to you. We're building a house now. You can find some people to build one with you. The snow is getting heavier. It will be hard to endure without a roof at night."

Dali and the other man took the ginger and thanked Su He gratefully.

"Hehua, are you still going to Yunhe? Our family wants to follow you, is that ok?"

Dali had thought about it a long time ago. His family got along very well with Su He. Su He was a generous host who cared about the people around him. When they arrived in Yunhe, if they failed to make a name for themselves, continuing to be Su He's tenants would be a way out.

Su He was a little surprised. She couldn't decide when to set off.

"Okay, we'll ask you when we leave. If you still want to come with us, then come along."

Su He also had a good impression of Dali's family, so it would be nice to have someone to accompany her.

Goudan came with his younger brother Jidan. He became anxious when he heard this because they had not yet considered this issue.

I have to go back quickly to ask grandpa and then find Sister Hehua to decide.

Several people hurriedly thanked Su He and left.
