Faced with such a family, how can we separate?

Jiang Huijia calculated silently in her heart

The old Song family had thirteen people, both big and small, but when it comes to property, they only had a small house and 50 acres of land.

Fifty acres of land seem to be quite a lot, but if you carefully calculate the current production capacity of the fields, these fifty acres are nothing. Qingfeng Mountain is located in Jiangzuo and belongs to Huguang. The local capital is Baoqing Prefecture. There are many hills, mountains, rivers, and ponds here. Most of the farmers plant paddy fields. The best paddy fields can be planted for two seasons. The yield of rice per mu in spring is more than 100, and the yield of rice per mu in autumn is about 300 kilograms.

This is not the era when hybrid rice was found in later generations. In a year, one acre of land harvested in two seasons, and it would be good to have 500 kilograms. After deducting tax payments, in the end, the harvest was more than 300 kilograms.

The fifty acres of land in the old Song family are not all high-quality land. Even if they are calculated based on the fact that one acre of land can earn 300 kilograms of grain per year, the annual income of these fifty acres of land is only 15,000 kilograms.

An adult needs to eat a pound of grain a day, and because men eat more and women and children eat less, the average discount is calculated based on one pound of grain per person per day. After rounding up the thirteen people in the Song family, the annual amount of grain consumed is about 4,700 pounds to 5,000 pounds. The current price of grain may fluctuate, but it is roughly one tael of silver and two stones of rice, which is exactly the same.

One stone of rice is about 125 kilograms of rice. In other words, 10,000 kilograms of rice can be reduced to 80 kilograms. Eighty and then divided by two is equal to forty. In other words, after the old Song family spends a year, they can get forty taels of silver without spending any money on their meals.

But in fact, is it possible that the old Song family will spend no money except for eating?

Of course it is impossible. Not to mention the expenses for daily wear, just like Song Wulang goes to school and he will have to pay ten taels of silver for a year!

In addition to shoveling, we also have to prepare festival gifts for the school teacher all year round, which is also a expense. After removing these, Song Wulang did not need to spend money on ink, paper and inkstones? How much does food and accommodation cost? There are many places that cost money. Jiang Huijia did not have enough understanding of the old Song family and could not count it for a while.

She secretly estimated that the money spent on Song Wulang alone may not be enough for the old Song family in one year!

Providing a scholar was definitely a difficult task for peasant families in ancient times to tighten their belts. It is no wonder that Song Sanlang wanted to take the exam but lacked travel expenses and had to go up the mountain to hunt to raise money.

Jiang Huijia also heard that when Song Sanlang was a child, he was all the ones who worked as an embroidery work for money when he was studying in his childhood.

The origin of this Cui family's wife is quite not simple. According to Jiang's mother, Cui family was originally a maid released by a wealthy family. Because she had committed a crime in the master's family, she was then accomplicated to the countryside village and finally married Song Baishan. Cui family knew the writing and was well-educated, especially her first-hand embroidery skills, which were very good. It was precisely because of this that she was able to provide Song Yi's expenses for reading with embroidery alone.

It is precisely because Cui had such ability that she was unable to get pregnant back then, and Old Mrs. Song just used her brain to marry another wife to Song Baishan, but never had the idea of ​​asking Song Baishan to divorce her.

Unfortunately, Cui's body collapsed early. She worked hard to provide Song Yi with great difficulty, but she couldn't stand it at such a time. She left her life, not only did she not be able to enjoy Song Yi's blessing, but after her death, Song Yi also suffered many disasters, and she became a useless person, who really let her down for many years of hard work.

In the mother and son, it can only be said that although they have done everything they have, they have no choice but to be destined to be destiny.

After all, it's still the cause of poverty.

Jiang Huijia thought to herself that in this filial piety is greater than that, in ancient times, parents should pay attention to their parents' disparity. If they want to separate themselves from Song Yi from the old Song family, they still have to start from money.

It must be clearly understood that although Jiang Huijia married into the Song family with a generous dowry, if she wanted to treat Song Yi's leg disease, her so-called generous dowry would be all-in-one, and it would be just a drop in the bucket!

She wanted Yu to know that in this regard, Yu could not only take advantage of her dowry, but even as long as Song Yi stayed in the Song family for one day, his body would be like a bottomless pit, constantly squeezing the Song family's already tight assets.

A rural family with fifty acres of land should have lived a rich peasant life, but the Song family not only had to support a scholar Song Wulang, but also had to take care of a patient like Song Yi who was like a bottomless pit. It would be strange if he could live a wealthy life.

Jiang Huijia was determined in her heart: "You must take the initiative to split up the family!"

All these things are just Jiang Huijia's thoughts. Seeing Yu's eyebrows coldly at Zhang, she suddenly turned her gaze and sneered at Jiang Huijia: "And you, you only took a hundred dollars in a box of silver, and it seemed like we should be grateful to you. The injury of the whole son was caused by you, and you only took a hundred dollars. Your heart was so dark that you could see holes!"
