"What fifty taels?"
Mr.
Mu's eyes were wider than a bell.
He looked at his son in shock, and for a while he still hadn't recovered from the number Mu Dade said.
Mu Dade had known that Mr.
Mu's reaction would be like this, but in fact, he deliberately said that the amount was missing.
On this trip, if I really go to the teacher to ask some test questions related to Qiu Wei, I will have to prepare at least one hundred and eighty taels.
"If dad thinks that our old Mu family can't afford the money, his son won't go to this teacher.
Anyway, it won't be a big problem.
He can win the exam with his own strength."
Mu Dade pretended to be sensible, but in his heart he had already known Mr.
Mu's temper.
Mr.
Mu will not let go of such a good opportunity.
He has been a fool all his life.
He finally spent money to give away a scholar's son.
How can he let it go?
At that time, everyone in the ten miles and eight villages did not envy him for having a good son who was awarded the title of scholar in one go.
It was only later that he failed the examination, and the old Mu family became a joke in the eyes of others.
But even so, his son was the first scholar in Ergui Village.
This time he was going to send his son out to shut up those who looked down on the old Mu family.
"Dear Virtue, don't say anything.
Let these rich men come up with a solution."
But where did the old man come from?
The total savings of the family do not exceed ten taels.
Fifteen acres of paddy fields and six acres of dry land.
On the surface, it seems that the old Mu family has a lot of fields and can also make some money.
But half of those fields have poor soil.
The rice harvested from those barren fields every season is less than 200 kilograms per acre.
A little less, a harvest of one hundred pounds per acre.
And one hundred kilograms of rice can produce at most sixty to seventy kilograms of rice.
Although rice in the town sells for seven or eight cents per catty, farmers like them could sell it for five cents per catty, which would make them laugh till dawn.
Therefore, the actual amount of money that comes into one's hands is actually not much.
Add in manpower, material resources, top dressing, taxes, etc., and if they are deducted one by one, an acre of land may not only make no money, but also lose money.
However, the land of Old Mu's family can be regarded as Mr.
Mu's skill.
When the war first started, many people in the village were afraid that the war would reach Ergui Village, so they hurriedly sold their land.
Mr.
Mu relied on his courage at that time to buy these people's land at a low price, and then he had the confidence to send Mu Dade to study.
"Old man, what are you thinking about?
How can our family have so much money?
Why don't we go back and think of ways to collect some for the great virtue."
Mrs.
Mu deliberately raised her voice in order to get her daughters-in-law present to go to their parents' house to get money.
"Mom is right.

Dad, you don't have to be brave.
Our brothers know our family's background.
Why don't we listen to everyone's opinions."
Mu Danian echoed Mrs.
Mu.
He and Mrs.
Mu had completely different ideas.
He remembered that his eldest brother was planning to marry the daughters of the second, third and fourth wives.
From what I heard, he should have a lot of money.
His eldest brother only has fifty taels here, and there will be more for him to get a wife.
"Well, while everyone is here, let's talk about how to collect the money."
Mr.
Mu glanced at the people in the room.
From the eldest brother to the fifth child, only the third child's family was not there.
The third child had followed the two girls back.
Only then did Mr.
Mu realize that someone from the old Mu family was absent.
Mr.
Mu sighed and asked Mu Dazhong directly.
"Second brother, what good ideas do you have?"
"Dad, I don't have any good ideas.
It's not like you don't know that our family's money and money are all kept by my mother.
Any money will be taken away."
Mu Dazhong looked aggrieved.
Of course, when he said this, he was actually talking about Mrs.
Mu taking away their family's only half a tael of silver.
"The fourth child" "without" "Lao Wu" Mr.
Mu focused his attention on Mu Danian.
"What can I do?
It's better to listen to the opinions of our eldest brother and sister-in-law.
My eldest brother is a scholar, and my sister-in-law has a scholar in her family.
It's the best time to ask them."
Mu Danian put the question to his eldest brother again.
At this point, Mu Dade and Jin exchanged glances, and then Jin said.
"Mom and Dad, I have a way to raise the tuition for the great virtue."
"What can you do?
Tell me quickly."
Mrs.
Mu's eyes suddenly glowed green.
If she could solve her son's problem, any solution would be worth it.
"Daughter-in-law, I don't dare to say this, for fear that you will scold me."
Jin was talking to herself, and before Mrs.
Mu could respond, she continued.
"We have so many girls in our family, we can actually marry one.
First, we can use her bride price to pay for Dade's tuition.

When Dade reaches high school, our eldest family will provide for her and provide her with good food and drinks." ” Jin's words naturally caused the big one to be picked out.
But the only one left who had a daughter and was shrewd was Mu Dazhong, who just slapped his thigh and said.
"Our young girl acts like a wild girl.
I'm afraid she will cause trouble if she gets married.
If she ruins the reputation of our old Mu family, she will be punished by God."
"Then girl Qingqing is excluded."
Mr.
Mu knew Mu Qingqing's temperament, so he waved his hand and gave Mu Qingqing a pass.
Mrs.
Lin was admiring her man from the sidelines.
His man's brain was so easy to use.
As soon as the eldest brother mentioned marriage, he was rejected by his man.
She is not stupid.
It is clear that Jin wants to sell her daughter in another house to raise money for her husband's tuition, so the idiots in the third and fourth houses don't realize it.
Wang from the fourth room also wanted to refuse, but Mrs.
Mu's frightening eyes made her huddle in the corner again.
"Then there are only Shuangshuang, the third-bedroom girl, and Xiaxia, the fourth-bedroom girl.
Xiaxia is one year younger than Shuangshuang.
According to me, she is married to Shuangshuang."
Mrs.
Mu took matters into her own hands and pointed out the way for everyone.
It happened that no one in the third room was there, so no one really refuted.
"Since no one in the family refutes, it's decided.
I'm going to marry that stinky girl.
I'll go to the village tomorrow to find matchmaker Zhang and ask her to go to a nearby village to arrange a marriage.
I guess the bride price will be ten taels, no problem."
Mrs.
Mu knew the secrets of this.
She also married the first few daughters-in-law step by step.
"But ten taels is not enough."
I don't know who said this, which made the old Mu family, who had already had hope, become as if they were wilted and lifeless.
"I heard that the conditions of the third prince in the village are good.
My younger brother works as a housekeeper for a big family in the town, and my younger sister has her own cloth shop.
If they get married, their future life may be better than if a great man becomes an official
.
"
Jin told several people in the old Mu family according to what she had discussed with her man before.
"The wife of Wang San, the eldest son, is the lame and blind Wang San in the village, who has not even married a wife at the age of fifty":
