Chapter 175 Follow-up
"What twenty taels? Is it a gift money for my brother? It's a lot, who is so generous, Dad? ”
Sun Caiwei stroked the new clothes on her body with her hand and leaned over to talk to Sun Qi.
"Dad, you have so much money, give me an extra two taels this month!" She only has one tael of silver a month to make pocket money, many things can only be bought by others, and even new clothes can only be added two sets per quarter, and the little sisters who are close to her have laughed at themselves many times.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Sun Wang saw that Sun Qi's face was wrong, and asked cautiously.
"It's not Ah Chen's stinky boy! He didn't know how to cherish his face, but this time he came to drink the wedding wine, and he only took twenty taels of silver! As soon as he talked about this, Sun Qi was full of anger. He won't remember that some time ago, when he went to his second brother Sun Zhou to eat happy noodles, their whole family went out and gave him five taels of silver as a gift.
"So picky?" Sun Wang's obviously didn't expect Sun Chen to be so 'stingy', all she remembered was the shop and gold jewelry that Sun Chen gave to the little milk baby when he was eating happy noodles.
"Humph! said that Sun Chen didn't think we were a family at all, so you had to ask my brother to invite him again and again! Sun Caiwei pouted, "Poor ghosts like them can't be generous at any time!" ”
From childhood to adulthood, her impression of her second uncle's family was that of poor ghosts and dirty ghosts. Every time she goes back to her hometown, she tries to stay away from them. If it weren't for the fact that her mother said that the work in the field was expected to be done by their family, she wouldn't even bother to shout from the second uncle.
"I'm really!" Sun Qi was so angry that he slapped the table with his hand, because he used too much force, and his palms were hot, but even so, he couldn't let the anger in his heart drop, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, when he went back to set up the wine, he must find the second brother and talk about it well.
……
Sun Chencai didn't care what they thought. In his opinion, giving twenty taels of silver was already worthy of them. Even if you have more money, it hurts to give them a little bit of yourself. I still want to be treated like my brother, hmph, I can only dream.
He quickly forgot about it and went to stay in the county town of Yulan.
He was pure, but his cheap father suffered from it. was nagged by Sun Qi and said that Sun Chen didn't have a little human touch, and he was also supported to do a lot of work. The wedding banquet that Sun You held in Linjia Village was almost all organized by him.
Not only that, but he gritted his teeth and increased the gift money he prepared from twenty taels to fifty taels, and almost all the money his family had saved in the past few years was taken out by him.
But what Sun Chen gave his son Sun Xiao, he didn't use at all. Because he knew that if he couldn't even keep these things for his son, not only would he be sorry for Sun Xiao, but his eldest son Sun Chen would definitely not forgive himself anymore.
Although Sun Qi got a lot of benefits, it was still much worse than his expectations, and he didn't really smile during his son's entire happy event.
Not only him, Sun You's life seems to be even more tragic than his old man.
Other people's cave room spent candle night, the groom was proud of the spring breeze, galloping horses, and his cave room spent candle night, but was almost thrown out of the room.
He was helped into the room half-drunk and half-awake, and what awaited him was not the tenderness of the bride's gentleness, but more than thirty of them, and there were as many 'house rules' as many as five on paper alone.
It doesn't matter if he finishes reading it in a humble tone, he has to recite it after signing his name, but how can he remember it when he is drunk?
If he hadn't sworn to the sky, saying that he would definitely recite it the next day, and he would have brought foot-washing water to Miss Liu's family, he wouldn't even be able to catch a hot quilt.
The next morning, he was supposed to give his parents tea to the new daughter-in-law, but the subordinates of Liu's Mansion were stunned and took themselves to Master Liu, calling their father and mother, and even he was so dull that he knew that he was going to make it public and had already directly joined the Liu family.
If he hadn't been afraid of the third uncle who went to Xiyang County, he felt that he would have changed his surname to Liu directly.
But even so, his father Sun Qi still wanted to have a long face in front of the old and young masters in Linjia Village, and he had to go back to entertain him. Sun You asked for mercy and promised again before Liu Caiyun agreed.
The father and mother want to put the score of the in-laws here, but the daughter-in-law can't figure it out by herself, and the father-in-law is still picking and choosing from himself all day long, Sun You is caught in the middle, sighing all day long.
……
Although Sun Chen has never agreed to Wan Jianzhong's solicitation, his relationship with him has been very good in the past two years. Every year, Sun Chen will help Wanyou Commercial Bank design several new glove styles, and his third uncle Li Hansen's carpentry work, he will also quietly mention a sentence or two.
Sun Chen's land is getting more and more, and the more rouge gouache is produced. Even if he had opened the Pujia Pavilion all over Zhuo County, he couldn't consume them all.
With the help of Wanyou Commercial Bank and Liu Mingxuan's channels, he gradually sold his goods all over the country, and he no longer worried that he would not be able to sell his goods.
There are also those spices brought by Qin Zifeng, after two years of development, they have gradually formed a scale, and as a high-end seasoning, they are sold very well in the entire Apocalypse Dynasty.
But he also gradually had troubles, not that the land was not enough, but that he had too much land in the past few years.
He has calculated that the total amount of land he currently owns has exceeded 1,000 acres.
Sun Chen's fields are all in Youlan County, and if spices and flowers are grown, food can no longer be grown. When the land he owned was small, the impact was not great, but now almost one percent of the land in the entire Youlan County is in his hands, and this trouble is a bit big. Because not only did he grow it himself, but the surrounding farmers he led also switched to cash crops. Unless the rulers of the dynasty specifically agree to the territory, the amount of imperial grain that a place needs to pay each year is determined by its overall cultivated area, and they will not allow you to pay less because you have planted some cash crops and increased the income of some peasant households. Moreover, whether or not the imperial grain collection can be successfully completed is also directly related to the political achievements of the local parents and officials.
Liu Mingxuan's county grandfather's father, Qin Yunzhao, even warned Sun Chen that if he continued to hoard land in Youlan County, he would only grow food crops, and he would not be allowed to lead local farmers to plant spices or flowers.
This is really wrong. Sun Chen thinks that he is not yet capable of leading the people to make a fortune, but next to his land, there will always be one or two people who are particularly discerning and see the business opportunities in it.
Whose land is in charge, he can't stop others from planting, right?
