Xuan Zhenmian picked up the rice covered with millet husk, removed the millet husk, and lowered his voice: âIf you want to buy it, I donât want money.â
Baitang smiled and said: âHave you heard a word? If you give it for free, you wonât be cherished.â
Xuan Zhenmian coughed slightly: âThat⦠I want money.â
Immediately said again: âI have strength, we two are together, I will not let you go hungry.â
Marry Han, marry Han, dress and eat. Girls are in such a chaotic, many people are poor, marrying is to live a better life in the future. Men are born with great strength and are very good laborers.
Baitang snorted softly, and said rather arrogantly: âI wonât choose a man who only keeps me from being hungry.â
Xuan Zhenmian readily accepted: âYes, people have pursuits. I wonât let you starve or freeze you. Everything at home is up to you. I will still work hard to buy beautiful clothes and jewelry. Here you go, dress you up beautifully.â
Will she feel frivolous?
Baitang shook his head: âNo, all the money except food and drink is used to buy guns and ammunition. Ansheng wonât have it for a few years, or even two years.â
Xuan Zhenmian nodded immediately: âOkay.â
After the fire was lit, Baitang cleaned up the broken rice with him: âHow old is this year? Iâm twenty-five.â
Xuan Zhenmian: âTwenty-three, not much difference. Tang, I see you, you used to live in the countryside, right?â
Baitang didnât deny it: âItâs from the countryside, farmers, with their backs to the loess and their faces facing the sky, digging mud and rushing to the sky every day. Before being forced to come to Haiqing to survive, there were eight members of my family. The youngest brother went on the way. My mother came here. After coming here, the water and soil are not acclimatized, and the illness comes like a mountain, so I also went.â
Xuan Zhenmian said distressedly: âThere are eight people, Tang, you are the elder sister again, you are the most miserable and tiring one among the six children.â
âI used to live in the countryside too. At that time, my family lived a good life and didnât suffer much. At that time, I saw a child as big as me carrying a big basket of millet on his back.â
âAt that time, I knew that there was no way for the children of poor families to take charge of the family early. The mouths in the family were still waiting for food. How could they be allowed to play. Especially the eldest, who had to take care of the younger siblings. â
Xuan Zhenmian took a look at Bai Shanxi who was sitting, and lowered his voice a bit: âTang, your father probably doesnât do housework. I went to see how much rice is in the jar, and he didnât even look at it.â You have to cook, your two younger brothers are injured and you donât say anything, your sister is not in a good mood right now, so donât say anything, your father didnât even say to help, I just saw that your injuries are still not healed!â
âTang, in the past, your mother and you should be doing your housework. It seems that your sister has never done much work at home. Itâs all because of years of hard work. You and your sister are obviously not much different in age. It looks much older than her.â
Xuan Zhenmian has always been more careful, so he can live alone in the ups and downs until now.
Baitang nodded: âAll right, unfortunately, there is no reward.â
Xuan Zhenmian hurriedly said: âWhat reward do I want! Tang, I heard that those nobles usually eat birdâs nest and drink milk for maintenance. I will find a way to get you some too.â
Baitang shook his head: âThereâs no need, itâs not worth spending money on this.â
Xuan Zhenmian: âThe flower is on youâ¦â
Baitang: âZui Mian, go out and have a look. There are muddle-headed and numb people everywhere, and oppression can be seen everywhere.â
