Chapter 64
In total, I received two taels of silver and eight hundred Wen from Xu Jiaojiao.
The third room has Xu Laosi with 600 Wen, Luo Shi with 400 Wen, San Lang with 400 Wen, Wu Lang Xiao and Liu Lang Xiao, totaling 400 Wen.
In total, I received one tael of silver and eight hundred Wen from Xu Jiaojiao.
Then everyone received a piece of cloth and took it back to make their own clothes.
Sewing clothes is a job that women should be able to do. If they really can't, they should hire someone to do it.
When Mrs. Xu Zhang was young, she was versatile and could do everything. Now that she is old and her eyesight is not working well, it is basically done by her daughter-in-law.
The whole family rejoices.
Xu Jiaojiao distributed nearly ten taels of silver in this way.
She received ten taels of silver for repairing the house, and allocated a small amount of ten taels of silver to her family members. She kept ten taels of silver in her hand, which she would use for brewing wine later. With the remaining sixty taels of silver, she planned to stop moving and use it to buy land.
After allocating wages, the celebration banquet was almost coming to an end, and there wasn't much food on the table.
Xu Jiaojiao talked about making wine again, "I won't make loquat paste this year. I will wait until the new fruits come out tomorrow. I will continue to harvest the fruits at the end of this year. I want to try making loquat wine, but making wine is not
It only takes a day or two, and it will take more than half a year to be sealed before you can drink it. I bought all the wine jars in the cellar today, and there will be a batch coming one after another. I may need your help when the wine is brewed..."
You don’t necessarily need help. There aren’t many fruits. If there are more fruits to harvest later, you will need it.
But judging from the current amount of fruit, there is no need for it.
In addition, the work of brewing wine is not urgent and can be completed by one person slowly.
Xu Laosi didn't wait for her to finish, and said hurriedly, "Sister, just ask me! Your fourth brother, I will be free at any time."
The younger ones also said in unison, "Auntie, we are all here to help you!"
There was unprecedented harmony in Lao Xu's family, and everyone was laughing happily.
Only Luo Shi whispered, "After the wine is brewed and the money is sold, do you still get the wages?"
Everyone was too shocked to speak.
Mrs. Xu Zhang cursed loudly, "You're a slut, you're a rag, you're jealous, you still want to stretch your hands longer? People are so incompetent that snakes swallow elephants! I fed her in the first year of junior high school, and she was still thinking about it when she was fifteen,
You are still not satisfied after giving you so much wages, and you are still looking forward to sharing the money after making wine! Who gave you such a big face? Can you be thick-skinned and say things that are not embarrassing? "
Luo Shi's poke was like poking a hornet's nest, and he was scolded so much that his ears drooped.
He quickly raised his arms and gave himself a few slaps, which were loud and clear.
While slapping him, he said, "Mom, if it doesn't exist, it won't exist. I just asked casually. I was wrong. I slapped my own mouth! I slapped my mouth!!"
Xu Laosi also scolded her and turned to Mrs. Xu Zhang with a smile.
"Mom, don't be angry. This bitch is rude. I will teach her a lesson later. Today is my sister's celebration party, so we don't want to be angry. This bitch has such a bad character and knows no bounds. Don't let it go.
Take it to heart. Sister, don’t take it to heart. Let’s not talk about brewing. Even if the brewing is finished, no matter how much money is sold, it will still be your dowry. We have no contribution.
I won’t even ask you for money.”
With these words, Mrs. Xu Zhang became a little less angry.
But when he saw Luo Shi, he was still angry, so he kicked Luo Shi off the table and refused to let her eat.
Luo Shi ate quickly, but she was actually almost full. She was afraid that Mr. Xu would punch her with four kicks. As soon as Mr. Xu Zhang told her to get out, she immediately went back to the house.
Without Luo Shi, no one dared to mention money and started eating honestly.
There is wine to drink, meat to eat, and money to take. In such magical days, everyone is happy.
Mrs. Xu Zhang sounded the alarm and said, "The money you sister earned this time, I repeat, is your sister's own dowry. You sister is broad-minded and took out so much at once to use it to repair the cellar.
I repaired the house and paid you all such a large sum of money. You all should know how to be grateful. The money you girls earned was not unfair to the public. I don’t want you to be short-changed in the several taels of silver you paid per room.
If you are successful, we will all be treated equally. You all save for yourselves. The children are getting older day by day. The days of spending money will be behind you. I will record all the money for you. You don’t have to come to the public school for everything in the future.
Pay, do you hear me?"
Xu Laosi quickly agreed.
Xu Laoer is also called.
Mrs. Xu Zhang specially named Xu Laoer, "Second brother, this time the money in your second room is two taels of silver and eight hundred wen. How about I help you keep it safe first? Erlang is already fourteen years old. In two years
, when he proposes to marry us, we can give Erlang a little more, and he will be able to marry a wife back home, do you like it?"
Xu Laoer was about to agree when suddenly he was kicked under the table.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yuanshi's anxious expression.
This kick was given by Yuanshi!
Xu Laoer fell silent. Anyway, he was always silent most of the time.
It also means that people can't find anything.
Mrs. Xu Zhang stared and waited for Xu Laoer for a long time, but she didn't see him speaking. He was blushing and silent.
"Second brother, please give me a word."
Following Xu Zhang's questioning, Xu Laoer was kicked again under the table.
This time it was even more urgent.
Xu Laoer was in a dilemma, and finally gritted his teeth.
He chirped, "Mom, didn't you say you don't need us to hand it over to the father-in-law? Don't let mom worry about it."
Mrs. Xu Zhang glared at him with hatred, and then glared at Mrs. Yuan. At this time, Mrs. Yuan lowered her head, looking at her nose and nose, as if she did not receive Xu Zhang's resentful gaze.
Xu Laosi was afraid that Mrs. Xu Zhang would also take care of it for him, so he said to smooth things over for Xu Laoer, "Mom, forget it, I don't have to worry about second brother's affairs for him anymore. Second brother has a good idea."
When Xu Youde saw Xu Laoer's flushed face, he also coughed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. The loquat ointment thing is over for now. Let me talk about repairing the house. Since you girls are willing to provide the money, we should start repairing the house sooner rather than later. Let's start repairing the house tomorrow.
Our house has not been repaired for several years. The straw on the roof has fallen off and turned to dust. It should have been repaired long ago. Because money is tight and we don’t have enough money, we have put it aside until now. It rains in the summer, but it still leaks like this in the winter.
Rain makes life difficult..."
After the meal was finished, Xu Youde began to talk about repairing the house, which was the job of the man in charge.
It has nothing to do with women and children. The women began to put away the bowls and clear the long dining table.
No one wants Xu Jiaojiao's help. Xu Jiaojiao is now the great hero of the Xu family. Without Xu Jiaojiao, a person with two bedrooms and four bedrooms would not be able to save even one tael of silver after several years of saving.
Chapter completed!
