While it was still dark in the morning and no one was around, Xia Qianqian carried a shovel to the yard, dug a hole next to the doghouse, and dug out a hundred taels of silver.
This is a whole silver ingot of fifty taels, and there are two ingots in total.
This was the money the Han family paid as compensation after the meatballs were poisoned.
Because she was poor, she loved money like her life, but she buried the hundred taels of silver in the yard as soon as she got it.
Now, she stared at the one hundred taels of silver that had just been unearthed and was freezing in her hands, struggling unwillingly: Should she use it? Or not
The result of the struggle was that she remembered Gu Changsheng's partiality.
Xia Qianqian stamped her feet angrily: "How dare a servant cause such a big fuss? He was clearly ordered by his master."
As for whether it was Han Yuqing or Han Tangping, she couldn't be sure.
"Qianqian, what are you doing?"
Qin's voice suddenly sounded.
Xia Qianqian hurriedly hid the silver in her pocket and turned back to say, "It's okay. I want to dig a hole in the yard and plant a tree."
"Why plant trees in the middle of winter?" Qin's eyes fell on her pocket.
The two silver ingots were bulging.
Qin smiled knowingly, walked over and asked in a low voice: "Did Master Gu give it to you?"
"No." Xia Qianqian had no choice but to take out the silver and explain the whole story.
Qin, who had recovered her memory, knew the ways of the wealthy and powerful too well, and said bluntly: "Han Yuqing is an unmarried lady, even if she wanted to harm you, she wouldn't dare to do it. Han Yibin has an official position, but he wouldn't dare to do it either. It must have been his father who did it."
"Han Tangping is really unworthy of being a teacher!" Xia Qianqian was angry, but also started to worry.
Han Tangping's action was to regard her as a thorn in his side. After this incident, Gu Changsheng also broke off the verbal marriage with the Han family. Now he hated her even more.
There is only one formal government-run school in the county today. How will Xia Yu go there to study in the future
"Since it's compensation, just spend it!" Qin smiled and touched Xia Qianqian's head, her mind clear as a mirror.
How could a small roadside stall selling fried meatballs be worth one hundred taels? Gu Changsheng must have negotiated to get such a large amount of compensation.
Gu Changsheng is really a good boy, it's a pity that his daughter Qianqian is not smart enough.
Qianqian is already over thirteen, why hasn't she had her period yet? Is it because of malnutrition? Or poor health
Qin's expression became serious. She took Xia Qianqian's hand and asked, "Qianqian, do you know about sunflower water?"
"Ah? I know, it's my period!"
"Huh?" Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What did menstruation have to do with menstruation? It was all her fault for not telling her daughter about these private matters.
Xia Qianqian realized that she was speaking too modernly, so she changed her words and said, "It's menstruation, which happens once a month. When a girl has her period, it means she's grown up and has fertility."
"Yes." Qin nodded, "But how do you know?"
"I..." Xia Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "I heard it from Widow Wang."
Qin: “…”
It was her fault that she let someone else teach her daughter about this kind of thing.
She held Xia Qianqian's hand and said, "Qianqian, if you have any questions in the future, come to me and I can answer them for you."
"Okay!" Xia Qianqian smiled and looked down at her small chest.
Although it is a little bigger than when I first came here, it is still too small and does not match my age.
Qin saw her confusion and whispered in her ear, "This is hereditary. Mom also started to grow fast after she was fourteen."
"Oh, then I won't worry about it." Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Height and figure are indeed closely related to genetics.
However, it cannot be considered as malnutrition.
For your own future, go down and buy a few pounds of meat so you can have a prosperous New Year!
