Standing at the gate of Qinghui Courtyard, Mama Wan stopped, squinted a few times at Mama Wu, who looked stunned, and ordered to call a few more strong mothers-in-law to come over.
Mama Wu looked stunned, as if she hadn't heard Mama Wan's instructions, Mama Wan didn't wait for Mama Wu's why, so she had to take the initiative to explain: "The father and son of the Gu family are extremely poor, this person is extremely poor, he can do anything, we have to be guarded, call a few more people to come with us, when the time comes, if something happens, there are these strong people, they can also control them." ” "Is that it" Mama Wu is the person who has been the chief steward of this mansion for many years, and quickly came back to her senses, looked down at the box in her arms, and carefully held the box tightly in her arms, it is best for a few more people to follow, this small box can have 100,000 silver Soon five or six mothers-in-law who looked really strong and powerful came, three in front and three in the back, and Mama Wan and Mama Wu walked in the middle and went to the front yard.
"Take advantage of this little time, just right, there is something to explain to Mama Wu."
After walking a few steps, Mama Wan opened her mouth with a displeased look.
"Our aunt and grandmother got married, except for the shop Zhuangzi, they all brought a total of 400,000 taels of dowry, 100,000 taels of clothes, materials, jewelry, furniture, and 300,000 taels of silver.
Mama Wu listened in a daze, not knowing why Mama Wan suddenly said this.
"Let's not talk about the 100,000 taels in kind, people like us can't afford to lose their face by selling clothes and jewelry.
What can be used is the 300,000 taels of silver in the box. ” Mama Wan pulled out the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth.
"To be honest, the 300,000 taels of silver have emptied the Li family's silver treasury.
The Li family is a little rich, but the people who do business, when the money is not enough, the shop has to run water, and the goods have to be advanced, if there are no such things, they want to open a few new shops, how much silver is not enough, besides, my wife is not Deng Tong, can mint money by herself, how much silver is 300,000 taels, it is the wife who cleaned the Li family's silver treasury to make up. ” Mama Wu looked at Mama Wan in disbelief, what does this mean by this, and she is reluctant to take out this silver, and she is reluctant to tell her, and if she wants to say it, she has to tell her uncle "Why do you have to marry 300,000 taels of silver This is because, our wife and our aunt have carefully calculated, in this house, there are several major events now, the first one, the dowry of the eldest lady and the second lady, that is the sister of the aunt's in-laws, the Jiang family has these two girls, and they have to marry out decently, and the grandmother has seen a lot, you say, this decent, a person does not have a seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, how to be decent."
Mama Wu's heart beat violently when she heard this, and she suddenly felt that the box in her arms was like charcoal, and her hands were extremely hot.
"The second thing is that these subordinates in our house, this one is much clearer than me, you see."
Mama Wan pointed to the mother-in-law in front of and behind her, "Almost all of them are old, either old or sick, these are all waiting by the side of the uncle and Mrs. for most of their lives, we can't let the family have no place according to the rules of our Li family, like Mama, after a few years, I will sue the old, either a Zhuangzi, 200 acres of good paddy fields, or we will be lively and prosperous in the capital, and pick with Mama, so that Mama can have a pension to rely on, and the rest of the people, no matter what, a person can't lose 50 acres of land, no matter how little, there is no way to support the elderly, no, Fortunately, there are few people in our house, and this one, there is 50,000 or 60,000 silver, which is enough. ” Mama Wu's heart was warm and her feet were soft, and the six rough mothers-in-law before and after listened to it, her eyes were on fire, and her breathing was rough, so she calculated it according to the least, and one person also had fifty acres of land and fifty acres of good paddy fields Oh, my God "Alas" Mama Wan sighed irritably, "The remaining less than 100,000 taels, this house has to be repaired, and a few decent clothes and jewelry have to be bought for the big guys.
In this way, until the end of the year, there is not much silver left, but it is enough.
At the end of the year, the income in the shop and the Zhuangzi was collected, and there was no major event, and the days were smooth, who knows" Mama Wan's words came to an abrupt end, and it was not far from the front hall.
Jiang Huanzhang sat upright, but his eyes kept staring in the direction of the inner courtyard, until he saw Mama Wu who was carefully holding the box, and Mama Wan who came in side by side with her, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Li family is not as good as the Gu family, his eyelids are shallow and ignorant, in case there is an awkward situation at this time, the Gu family's father and son will quarrel again, although he is not afraid of any officials, but it will damage the reputation of the Gu family, and he has to scruple one or two.
"Back to the uncle, the former uncle instructed to exchange the cash for silver tickets, which were just issued from the old Fulong today, and the tickets were redeemed when they saw them, and they were all one thousand taels."
Mama Wan bent her knees and prayed.
"Well, give it to them."
Jiang Huanzhang waved his hand, and his disgusted gaze swept from the box to the Gu family's father and son, all of which were annoying things Master Gu's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and the Gu family was still annoyed that he wanted less, and his face was not good.
"It's better to make it clear in person, it's best to hand it over again, there will be disputes in the future, and the uncle will say it" Mama Wan motioned to Mama Wu, Mama Wu opened the box, but smashed the box heavily in front of Jiang Huanzhang.
She wanted him to see that this was 100,000 taels of silver, this was their pension money, their coffin money Master Gu rushed over, and Uncle Gu couldn't be annoyed, although he sat far away, he was not much slower than his father, and pounced together.
Four red and swollen goldfish soaked in wine stared at the ink-scented, brand-new silver ticket in the box.
Mama Wan took out the silver ticket from the box, stared at it with the four eyes, and slowly clicked it, spread it out one by one, ten harvested into a stack, spread ten more, and then ten stacked, counted out, exactly ten stacks.
"Master Gu, Uncle Gu, I saw clearly that they were all one thousand taels and one piece, a total of one hundred, and the tickets were redeemed.
Or, Master Gu will order it again," Mama Wu asked, pointing to ten stacks of silver tickets.
"No, you don't need to see it clearly" Master Gu pounced on a vicious tiger, and he stepped forward to grab the silver ticket, but was pulled back by Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu is young in the end, his movements are neat, he pushed his father to a stumbling one, his hands were dazzling, he stuffed the silver ticket back into the box, snapped the box shut, hugged the box tightly in his arms, turned his head to look at Jiang Huanzhang, who was angry by this scene and was shaking his hands, and said with a smile: "My cousin made the Li family's ownerless fortune, and now it is like this, whether it's good, it's good, from now on, let's kiss each other, tonight" Uncle Gu dragged out his voice with an ambiguous expression, "Cousin, just be happy with this silver, brother, I'll use it first, and when I run out of money, I'll look for my cousin again." ”:
