Chapter 261 People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense

"Yes, yes...Master, you are right." Yao felt a little more at ease.

Indeed, this is what Dafang should enjoy. Dafang lives in the city, unlike in the countryside, where he can just stutter wherever he wants.

How much money does it cost to live in the city?

Dalang needs money to attend school, so the registration fee for Master’s school should not be less, right?

And Dalang and his classmates went out to enjoy flowers, go on an outing, etc. How could they not go out with twenty taels of silver?

Also, Da Ya is about to reach the age of talking to others. Although there are many people coming to propose marriage, none of them are to her liking.

The matchmakers don't dare to tell Da Ya to a real wealthy family. Why? Isn't it because they dislike Da Ya's small dowry?

They don't dare to marry into a family that is too high-profile. There is no corresponding dowry to show off their marriage. How can they become the head of their husband's family?

Since you can't be a family, what's the point of being the irritated daughter-in-law and being looked down upon by others?

These all require money.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

Without money, all the Bodhisattvas in the temple will collapse, let alone the people.

The old Xu family in the countryside did not understand them and had not provided them with money for many years. At most, they came back every year to get some food to eat.

Regarding this, Mrs. Xu Zhang still has an opinion. How is this the attitude towards the eldest grandson of the eldest son?

Fortunately, Xu Darong is still a glorious scholar of the old Xu family.

I have been looking forward to making some money somewhere, but now, I suddenly have a windfall of more than three hundred taels of silver on hand. To be honest, I feel a little panicked.

She and Xu Darong had never earned so much money in their entire lives together, and the couple were both approaching their forties.

That's why she acted a little guilty in front of Xu Jiaojiao.

After Xu Darong's enlightenment, Yao finally let go of his knot.

She felt that being kept at home by Mrs. Xu Zhang was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, how could she have gotten such a good opportunity and take possession of these good things.

However, the vicious oaths she had sworn were still fresh in her mind, and she was a little scared.

She said she would give her one hundred and thirty taels. Xu Darong was even darker than her, so she gave her eighty taels.

I hid more than two hundred taels and got it.

When something happened to the fourth child, he didn't even bother to take it out. Once he got the letter, he ran to this old house in the country, saying that he was looking for Xu Youde to discuss reporting the letter, but actually he still needed money...

The men in her family are really a little darker.

However, if she can have sex with such a man and live a good life, she is willing to do so.

No matter what kind of conscience it is.

She also has a son who wants to get married and a daughter who wants to get married, but she has no money, how can she do it?

Mrs. Yao figured it out, the guilt on her face disappeared, and she showed off her eldest sister-in-law's style.

After helping Xu Darong pack his things for going out tomorrow, he went out to work in high spirits.

***

The mother and daughter came to Liaojia Village.

Liao Honghai happened to be there, and the Liao family was also packing up farm tools, polishing sickles, plows and rakes, etc., in preparation for the autumn harvest.

The Liao family didn't have much land before. The whole family and the children of the whole family depended on Liao Honghai's business of picking goods. Later, Liao Honghai got old and couldn't carry goods anymore. He couldn't walk long distances, so he rested.

At home, I used my savings over the years to buy several acres of thin farmland.

It was okay to support a family, but Liao Honghai's daughter-in-law was in poor health and had to take medicine all year round, so her days were always stretched.

Fortunately, Liao Qing knew how to hunt, and he could catch some valuable things from time to time to supplement his family's income.

Especially this year, Liao Qing killed a tiger and earned dozens of taels of silver at once. Liao Honghai immediately used it to buy three acres of good land.

Now, the Liao family has five or six acres of land.

During this year's autumn harvest season, everyone in the Liao family is gearing up to harvest more food. Life will definitely be much better in the coming year.

Therefore, the autumn harvest has become what the Liao family is most looking forward to and what they value most.

Today, Liao Honghai asked Liao Qing to stay at home to help polish and pack farm tools. These are manual jobs. If you go to the town to find a blacksmith to sharpen a sickle, it will cost several cents. Today, the family has a lot of strong labor force.

Why spend this wasted money?

Anyway, Liao Qing might not get anything when he goes into the mountains every day. Hunting depends on luck, and now is the lean season. Many people are short of food and clothing, and their eyes are fixed on the mountains. When there are more people, the prey

Naturally, there are less. No matter how powerful Liao Qing is, he often misses when there is no prey to hunt.

So, it is better to buy land. As long as God is not in a bad mood and there is a harvest of grain every year, people will not starve to death.

While the father and son were polishing farm tools, they suddenly heard someone's voice coming from the front yard.

"Hey, what gust of wind blew Aunt Xu to our house? Aunt Xu, I heard that your scholar son came home today, and he is planning to help with the autumn harvest. I am really envious that the scholar son can read to me again.

The family has a good reputation and can still do farm work..."

Liao Honghai raised his head and looked around.

Liao Qing's ears also twitched, but without any indication, he continued to sharpen the sickle on a large bluestone, making a loud sound.

After talking politely in the front yard for a while, Mrs. Xu Zhang was heard asking, "Is Salesman Liao at home? I want to ask Salesman Liao about something..."

"Here, the father and son are busy packing up farm tools. They plan to go to the fields tomorrow and take the millet back home. It is almost mature. It is not a problem to leave it in the ground for a long time. I am afraid that God will not be kind. If

If it starts raining, it will be over. We look forward to these few days all year round."

"That's right, our family is also preparing for the autumn harvest. There are a lot of things to do!"

"No, your family is a big family, with dozens of acres of fields. It will take many days to harvest. Our family only has a few acres, and we can finish it in a day or two. We can't compare to you..."

"Hey! What kind of big family are we? We just have a large family and a lot of unsatisfactory children and grandchildren. The harvest in the fields every year is just enough to feed the family. Let's not talk about this. Where is the salesman Liao? Can he get it?

Let’s go over and talk!”

"Okay, come with me in the backyard. Why don't you ask him about anything? He's a country guy, rough and tough. Is there anything else you can ask me about?"

The two of them walked into the backyard while talking.

Liao Honghai had already heard the conversation between the two, put down what he was doing, and stepped forward to greet them.

"Aunt Xu, hey, the charming girl is here too!"

Mrs. Xu Zhang smiled hurriedly and said, "Brother Liao is here, I'm disturbing you from your work, please don't be in the way..."
