Chapter 16 I want to find my mother-in-law for the girls
Because the wild boar had to be slaughtered earlier, the rice that the Xue family was originally going to cook could only be temporarily shelved and replaced with hot water to kill the pig.
Xue Langjing had no experience in killing pigs before, and the old man Xue didn't have it, so Father Xue went to invite experienced hunters in the village to come over and help.
After killing the pig, most of the people in the village came to cut the meat, as little as half a catty, as much as four or five catties, five or six catties, eight cents a catty, in exchange for more than 1,400 cents, there were dozens of catties of meat left, as well as some pig bones and sewage, plate oil or something, so that everyone in the Xue family was full, including Xue Linjing, although Xue's milky nose was not a nose and eyes were not eyes, and they shouted that they were distressed.
After dinner, Xue Langjing originally wanted to continue exercising, but when she turned her head and thought about it, she had already exercised in the morning when she got up early, and ran in the mountains all day long.
Well, Xi Wucheng is valuable, and the price of learning literature is higher, that's all.
Besides, there are so many good things that I haven't seen, and this is also a big plan to make money.
After the excitement of the first two days, this heart also sank again, and I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I had to develop steadily in everything, so I still read a book first.
So what's the good look, someone rubbed their hands excitedly.
Of course, it's related to eating!
Then, she took a book on food and looked at it, after all, people take food as their heaven, especially a poor person like her, who cares most about eating.
In other words, she is quite happy to see the varieties she knows and sees in the book, such as bud valley red beans, apples and strawberries.
Well, this is the power of knowledge, everything around us can be recorded on paper, they can be preserved, and even passed on to others.
But like apples and strawberries, she has only seen them, but has not tasted them, who made them so expensive, she can't afford them.
For the next night, Xue Langjing watched the introduction and description of various fruits with relish, especially the detailed explanations of various valuable fruits, and then compared it to the giant book to see a more detailed introduction.
The days after that were the same as before, without many ups and downs, the only difference for Xue Langjing was that since she had the new bow, her daily harvest was much better than before.
And for the Xue family, there is naturally a big trouble with the marriage of the two doors that cannot be withdrawn, after all, it is twenty taels of silver, plus two more mouths.
In addition, although the family is no longer as rich and surplus as in the past, it is missing a large and unpaid expense that has been going on for a long time, and not only that, but it also has an income almost every day, completely eliminating the state of making ends meet.
The living standards of the Xue family have also been greatly improved, the meat at home has almost never been broken, and Xue Langjing can bring back a lot of herbs they don't know every time, all of which are of various kinds.
Xue Langjing would teach them what kind of herbs to be dressed and how to dry them, telling them that many of them were good things, and if they were ready, they could sell them for a lot of money in the pharmacy.
As soon as they heard that these herbs were worth a lot of money, for Grandma Xue, who had no other income, they naturally waited more carefully, and strictly followed what she said.
However, Grandma Xue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are generally responsible for supervision, and it is the Xue family sisters who have to do it.
As for why she knew how to identify these herbs, and where she got this bow, which was worth a lot of money at first glance, Xue Langjing half-truthfully told them that she had encountered a corpse on the way back, and she buried him, took a bow from him, and a book with many herbs, judging from it.
In terms of money, as long as it is a hunting day, Xue Langjing pays a hundred yuan to the family every day, and as for the occasional neighbor who comes over to buy a wild thing at home or something, they also collect this silver, and Xue Langjing will not ask about this money.
Seeing that the family's economic situation is getting better day by day, except for the two bad family affairs left by their grandson, there is nothing else for them to worry about, so they care about the granddaughters' family affairs.
Of course, they are only concerned about the granddaughters' family affairs, not about themselves.
The nine granddaughters of the Xue family, the eldest is twenty-three, and the youngest is more than sixteen, all of them have reached the age when they should get married, and the oldest ones in their early twenties are about to be left as old girls.
Although these granddaughters of their family can't get much dowry in exchange for yellow and thin skin, but one can have a few taels of silver, how can these eight girls have dozens of taels of silver dowry money, plus when the two families retire, they can get back twenty taels of silver, which is enough to give Xiaoba a good son-in-law.
By the way, Xue Yuhai and his wife did not choose to recruit in the end, but married off several daughters, and they planned to inherit one of Xue Langjing's children in the future.
The reason is naturally that the children born to recruit are also of other families' species anyway, and they are not rare, and their big house is now unable to support their own house, and they don't all have to rely on the second room.
Even if it is a big deal, this money is afraid that it is also out of the second room, how much money can be paid for them, rather than recruiting a bad goods to enter the door, it is better not to.
And if you have to support your family in the future, can a son-in-law of this quality be able to support her own family?
So it's better to pass on a little eight's child in the future, although the one was passed to them, but this child is all Xiaoba's own, and Hachi won't treat them too badly.
With such a calculation, everyone in the Xue family put the granddaughters' family affairs on the agenda, and the eight girls found a good mother-in-law for them to marry early, but the son-in-law who recruited them was not in a hurry, and they looked for it slowly, and they were not afraid that they would not find a good son-in-law when they were rich.
Mrs. Xue is even more eager to marry a few girls as soon as possible, this meal of meat is eaten, but it hurts her, even if she is staring, one person can't eat much, but that's eight mouths, one person and two mouthfuls of meat, that adds up to a lot.
The neighbors in the village, now everyone knows that her Xue family has a lot of meat and prey, and occasionally if she wants to eat meat and is afraid of going to the town, she will come to their house to buy some, and the price is cheaper than the town for a penny or two, so people often come to buy it.
This is eaten by the girls and the girls have lost a piece of meat money, and they have eaten so much money, what is the difference between this and digging her heart and liver and digging her meat, it is only right to send them away early to marry.
Hey, just these girls, all of them are yellow and thin, how much does it take in the village, it's not easy to find a better in-law, and I don't know how much dowry I can get back, and it's called a loss.
Although raising girls can reduce some taxes, her Xue family only has two acres of thin land, and no matter how much they are reduced, they can't reduce it!
