《Apocalypse in Ancient Life》Chapter 50
Advertisement
Liu Meihua and Wang Afu quarrels are often seen in the village, but this is the first time the two couples fight.
The next day, Aunt Liu, who lived next door to Wang's house, saw that the husband and wife both went out with blue noses and swollen faces. She couldn't help but admire that Liu Meihua is really powerful. There are not many women in the village who dare to do something to her husband... Let's
go to the next village . The living king Ah Fu, who was picking green stones, finally agreed. There was no other way. This Liu Meihua was too troublesome.
Although Wang Afu didn't like Liu Meihua as much as he did before he got married, he never thought about leaving the person.
His family had no money to marry a wife. If Liu Meihua was divorced, it would not be easy for him to marry another wife, not to mention there was a son at home.
Which couple didn't quarrel, and everyone still made do with it for a lifetime, but Wang Afu couldn't help but think, what would have happened if the person he married was Mo Xiaobao?
In addition to Wang Afu going to the next village to pick stones, there are also several men in this village who are also going. These are relatively poor in the village, and they all point to the work of picking stones to earn more money. Going to pick one of the stones.
Brother Lin really didn't want Xue Tieshi to go. The work was too dangerous, but there was no way. If Xue Tieshi didn't go to work to earn money, the food at home would not be enough.
In the entire Xue family, Xue Tieshi is an adult male. In addition to raising an old lady, there is also an unmarried younger sister and a two-year-old son. The pressure of life is not too big.
But Xue Tieshi's mother and sister are both arrogant and arrogant masters, and they want to marry a rich man in the town. In the past two days, Aunt Xue has also found someone to bind her daughter's feet.
This Aunt Xue not only spent a lot of money on her daughter's foot binding, but also had to take care of Xue Hua'er who couldn't walk on the ground, which meant that only Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er could work at home.
Moreover, there is a two-year-old baby in the family who must be taken by one person. In this way, Xue Tieshi is the only one who can really work...
There are no cargo ships at the dock in the past two days, and no money can be earned, so Now that the family is a little free, Xue Tieshi, the stone picker in the village next door, has to do it!
Mo Xiaobao has the best relationship with Lin Ge'er. When he heard that Xue Tieshi was going to pick stones, he was very worried for Lin Ge'er.
"Lin Ge'er, it's too dangerous to pick stones. You should not let your boss go. It's better to go hunting in the back mountain than to pick stones..."

Lin Ge'er sighed, "I know Bao, too. But Tie Shi's mother just wrapped Hua'er's feet and spent a lot of money, and there are no cargo ships coming from the town's wharf recently, so it's not good for the child's father to pick stones..."
"..."
Mo Xiaobao thought It is really difficult to think about the situation of Lin Ge'er's family. Now Aunt Xue can't work. Xue Hua'er from his family has always been a master of enjoyment
. Tie Shi had an emergency, wouldn't Brother Lin take his son to be a widow?
Seeing that Brother Lin was worried, Mo Xiaobao didn't feel good in his heart. He was also a person who couldn't hide things. When he went to bed at night, he told Pei Shaorong everything about it.
In fact, Pei Shaorong had heard about the Xue family's affairs before, because the recent trip to Xinghua Town to pick stones became very lively, and everyone could hear the discussion as soon as they went out.
This work of digging stones is like digging a coal mine. It is tiring and dangerous. For the money, it is a good salary for the villagers of Linjiang Village.
This salary is guaranteed at 30 cents a day, and it is calculated separately for each stone dug. This is a very good salary at least fifty or sixty cents a day.
However, no matter how good the treatment is, it can't withstand the danger. Every year there are dead people who go to dig rocks. Therefore, ordinary people will not go there unless they are too poor. After all, the money is good, and life is more important!
"...Brother Pei, if there is an emergency in the Xue family, what will Lin Geer do, and the little Jizu is only two years old..."
Mo Xiaobao lay on Pei Shaorong, his eyes blinking and begging Help, he has the best relationship with Brother Lin in the village. Since childhood, when one of them had something to do, the other tried his best to help, just like when he ran away from marriage.
How could Pei Shaorong not understand Mo Xiaobao's thoughts, he pointed at his face maliciously, his intention to beg for a kiss was self-evident, "Actually, it's not impossible..." The
time they spent together was not short, look Mo Xiaobao understood Pei Shaorong's actions in seconds, and said in his heart Pei Big Brother's old and serious words, but still obediently leaned in and kissed, "What can I do, Pei Big Brother, tell me quickly!"
After getting the kiss, Pei Shao Rong Cai said, "A Bao, go to Brother Lin tomorrow and ask his husband to help our family farm the land. Our family doesn't lack the 30 cents of wages..."
"But... I'm not busy now, let's invite Brother Lin. Wouldn't it be strange if the husband came to help and gave thirty wenhui wages a day?"
Of course Mo Xiaobao knew that his family was not short of children, but didn't he say that he should not show the rich and pretend to be poor?

The family has a lot of land of 10 acres, but after the planting is over, there are some trivial daily care left. His family has just bought the farm and repaired the house. At this time, if he invites a person who pays 30 yuan a day to come back to work, he will definitely be punished. Doubtful...
"I've already thought about this. After I invite Xue Tieshi, I'll plant the fields with him, and you and Brother Lin will go to Xinghua Town to sell food..."
"Sell food?" Xiaobao's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, I didn't let you work in the fields together before. Who said I was a stingy man behind my back?"
When he thought that the person who had hired him before was not allowed to work in the field, the little guy was unhappy for several days, and Pei Shaorong complained that he was stingy, which made him laugh.
"Picking stones is a labor-intensive job, and it consumes a lot of energy. They will definitely be hungry after eating the food they bring. You and Brother Lin will set up a stall on the way to pick stones in Xinghua Town every afternoon, and sell some Eat and drink to pass the time, live without getting tired and earn money, it's much easier than going down with your husband and me..."
"Also, if you always go down with me and get tired, who will give me a lot of weight? Boy? What do you think of this idea?" It's
fine to let A Bao go out, no matter how good A Bao farms, but he is a little brother in the end, and his body is actually no better than a man's, and doing heavy work for a long time is very harmful.
This kind of problem can't be seen now, and it will be miserable when you get older in the future. This is also the reason why the little brother in the village can't give birth to a child and die early, not because he is tired from working hard for a long time!
Hearing Pei Shaorong's words, Mo Xiaobao was stunned, "Brother Pei, you, do you really let me and Brother Lin go out?
" , go with Lin Geer yourself now, people will gossip...
"Of course, no, let's call Aunt Qin, there is a big aunt here, you and Lin Ge'er are both safer, and then finish the stall every afternoon. , I'll pick you up again..." The
more Pei Shaorong thought about it, the more he felt that he was paying attention. Let A Bao go out, so as to prevent this little guy from doing nothing at home all day long, and the heavy work of going to the ground also has Xue Tieshi's good way to help , definitely cost-effective work!
"How is it? Are you saying I'm stingy? Well?" Pei Shaorong leaned over to the dazed Mo Xiaobao and kissed him on the face.
Since Pei Shaorong doesn't mind his husband going out and showing his face, Mo Xiaobao doesn't have any grudges in his heart. Anyway, Big Brother Pei is not allowed to work in the field by himself now, and it's boring to stay at home.
It's good to have something to do now. If he can help Brother Lin and make money, Mo Xiaobao is very excited when he thinks about it.
Riding on Pei Shaorong and hugging the man's neck, Mo Xiaobao started to act coquettishly, "Brother Pei, I will never say you are stingy again, really! You are my man, I will listen to everything you say, Follow all the instructions and guidelines of the husband!"
Mo Xiaobao, who has kept up with the times, has already used the things taught by Pei Shaorong...
"Well, in order to compensate for my wounded heart, we won't sleep until dawn tonight!
" How can you refuse to give in? Pei Shaorong rolled over and pressed down with a smirk, lowered his head and kissed Mo Xiaobao's lips, tasting his delicious food.
Mo Xiaobao smiled sweetly, wrapped his legs around Pei Shaorong's waist, responded enthusiastically, and his voice made Pei Shaorong even more difficult to self-confidence, he thought that he was planted on this person in his life...
The day after the decision, Mo Xiaobao went to Lin Geer to tell the story, and also called Aunt Qin. With Aunt Qin, an older aunt, he and Lin Geer were two young brothers. It would be much less troublesome to show up.
Lin Ge'er didn't want Xue Tieshi to pick stones at first, so he agreed happily. Maybe Xue Tieshi didn't make as much money as he did to help Pei's farm, but it was safe.
Moreover, he and Mo Xiaobao go out to sell food, and he can subsidize a little bit. It should be about the same as the money earned by mining stones, and even safer!
Not to mention Aunt Qin, because Liu invited a large group of beggars to make trouble at Qin Musheng's wedding before, but it hurt her heart and her money. Such a good opportunity to make money must not be missed.
After Aunt Qin thought and researched for many times, she felt that as long as it was the decision of the Pei family, then in all likelihood, it would not be a loss. Brother Pei is a smart person!
Since the three families had no objection, the matter of selling snacks was quickly acted, and the last few decided to sell steamed buns, cold skins and hot pot skewers.
Steamed bread is Aunt Qin's specialty, Liangpi is Lin Ge'er's specialty, and this hot pot skewer is naturally the signature of Pei's family.
The steamed buns are very hungry, the cold skin is appetizing, and the gluttony is gluttonous. These three things are simple and not complicated to do. Two little brothers and one big aunt are not tired, and the workers who do the stone-picking work at the price can also bear the price. No need to worry about A Bao in the future. I was idle thinking about it.

On his quest to survive, he follows a mysterious wizard, and becomes embroiled in a revolution he knows little of. He cultivates magic, learns to fight with a blade, and meets worthy companions.

Can he use magic, blade and wit to fight them off? Or will he be the one to fall instead? Follow Vreil on his adventures. Witness the dawn of an era. 🧙🧙🧙 This is a story I'd written a few years back, and I figured it's a waste to just let it sit around. Most of it is already written, but I'm going through the chapters and editing the shit out of them. This story is NOT a Lit-RPG, so no blue screens or anything of the sort. It is just fast-paced fiction with slight cultivation elements. Updates are bi-daily (so every 2 days), and chapters are 1500-3000 words. As always, feedback is more than welcome. Why are you still reading the synopsis? You have already decided. Go ahead, give this story a shot. It's worth it.

Which apparently means becoming the employee of an item shop. (What's that? You want to know what cheat powers I've been given? Well, how about an inexhaustible source of mana substitute? ...Holy crap, I have an inexhaustible source of mana substitute.)
