"Yes, Aunt Tang, we don't have the good luck of you, we have such a capable granddaughter."

"Well, yes, don't we women all come here like this?"

。。。

Just when they felt sorry for themselves and lamented the suffering of women's lives, Tang had something to say again, "This is not right, my aunt will ask you, how much does our family pay you all?" ”

Although they didn't know why she asked this, they still answered truthfully, "Fifteen Wen a day." ”

"Okay, fifteen cents a day, do you know how much money you can get a year?"

"This, this, this time is too long, we only know four hundred and fifty wen per month, how much a year, let us calculate..."

When she asked, the women all broke their fingers and counted them.

Seeing everyone so clumsily snapping their fingers to calculate, Tang covered his mouth and smiled, "Look at your calculations, let Aunt Tang do the calculations for you." ”

Then she calculated it herself, "Three hundred and sixty days in a year, fifteen wen a day, ten three hundred and sixty... A total of 5,400 wen, that is, five taels and 400 wen. ”

"Wow, we can earn so much money in a year!"

"Really? We didn't know we could make so much money. ”

Some people also looked at Tang with envy, "Aunt Tang, you are so powerful, you can be counted out so quickly." ”

"Aunt Tang really deserves to be a scholar, this arithmetic is really powerful."

For their compliments, Tang is quite complacent, but we have to be low-key, low-key.

"Where, where, what a reader, I just know the words for more than a year."

After a period of complacency, Tang started to 'get down to business' again.

"Do you know how much food you can buy for 5,400 yuan a year? 2,700 catties of fine grain, and how much grain can men plant in one acre of land? ”

A woman replied, "Now this harvest would be two hundred pounds in an acre of medium-sized fields." ”

As for the high-class fields, they basically don't have cherry blossoms at home

"By the way, two hundred catties per acre, this also has to remove taxes, you calculate, how many acres of land are needed to grow 2,700 catties of grain, how can you also need sixteen acres of medium land.

That is to say, if you work for one year, you will plant sixteen acres of land for your family.

Aunt asks you again, can a man in your family plant sixteen acres of land?

Isn't it true that every man can plant sixteen acres, and even if they can, you can have so many fields in your family for the men to plant?

Also, this labor pays a lot and eats a lot, and a laborer has to eat two catties of grain a day.

At least four acres of the harvest are eaten in a year, and in addition to what they eat, the rest is to contribute to the family.

As for you, our family has two meals in the morning and evening, and you only need to eat one meal at home, and the food you bring back is enough to make up for the lunch meal at home.

You have 16 acres a year, and even if the men all come down, it will only be a few acres.

And you have to do all kinds of housework when you go home, and the men are harder in the fields, and they are uncles when they go home. ”

After her calculations, the women realized that they had contributed so much to the family, and that they were now supporting the family, not the men in the family.

Before they could digest the shock brought to them by each other's words, they listened to Tang again, "So, you are more useful than any man in the family, why can't you eat this best thing?"

Regardless of whether you can eat or not, let yourself eat and drink well.

At least those poor diseases are gone in the big guys, this body is good, we can be free from disasters and diseases, live longer, and live the most nourishing life, right?

What do we women hope for most in our lives? It's not that you want to live a life in peace, so as long as you serve yourself well, the hope of this life will come true! ”

Aunt Tang's is also very reasonable, and everyone is very moved by her heart.

"Auntie, you do have a reason, but this person will be old after all, don't you have to rely on your sons when you are old, let's not serve our sons now, how can we call our sons to support us when we are old?"

"Yes, yes, we'll be old."

This is easier for the Tang family to solve, "It's not simple, why do we older people want to hold the silver in our hands, instead of giving it to our sons early?"

Isn't it just that I'm afraid of giving them too early, and if something happens in the future, I'll be alone and no one will take care of me.

Then do this, you guys, after you get these hundreds of clerks every month, you can have more in your hands. When you get old in the future, you have a lot of money in your hands, and you are afraid that your sons will not be filial?

As long as they dare not be filial, they don't want any of this silver, and the matter of providing for the elderly will be solved. ”

"yes, too."

Tang's words also made the women feel reasonable.

"Besides, it is your son who is filial to you and provides for your old age. I can bring you a pot of later, and the person who serves you to eat and drink Lazar is a daughter-in-law or a son? ”

"Of course this is a daughter-in-law, how can a son be a big man who can do this job."

"So, in fact, when you are old, you don't rely on your daughter-in-law to serve. It is a matter of righteousness for the daughter-in-law to serve our mother-in-law, so we will be better to the daughter-in-law, and they will be more willing to serve you in the future.

You have silver in your hands, and your conscience is unreliable, but this silver is absolutely reliable, and you are really not afraid that your descendants will not be filial.

With the money, the food in the hands of the sons is not irreplaceable, and the people who can take care of you in the future will also be well encompassed, and I am really not afraid that life will be difficult when I am old. ”

"But, but we are all a big family, a family, no matter who earns the money and goes back, it is all at home, and it has to be used to support the family.

How can we be so selfish as a woman, if everyone holds the money in their own hands, where will the sons and grandchildren marry and have children, or those miscellaneous expenses?

The family is not rich in the first place, so do we still hide the silver as private money, so that the whole family can live a hard life? ”

Hearing them here, Tang became excited again, and she had a lot to say about this matter.

"Do you know why we can live in this new house, and the old man can only live in the old house? And why is it that all the land we bought is in the hands of the old man, and we don't have a single acre? And does he have so much money to marry a wife? ”

"We don't know, aunt, give it to us."

"At the beginning, the dead old man planned to take our big mansion for himself, and he wanted to drive us all out and let him occupy the two mansions for himself.

Fortunately, when this new house was built, our granddaughter was smart and put the house in her own name, so that the county master had to judge it to us.

As for the field, although it was bought with the money given by our granddaughter, because it was in the name of the old man, it was obviously our own money, but we couldn't get a single acre.

If all your money becomes a public prize, if a similar situation happens in the future, will it be your share? The white in the public is the one who is in charge of your house.

Just like when this old man wanted to take away a dozen taels of silver from our father-in-law, this is the silver of his Xue family, and the county master sentenced us to return it to him, because he is the master of the house, and none of us can compare to him.

But it just so happened that this silver was in our hands, and we insisted that there was no silver in Gongzhong, and he had no evidence, so he couldn't take a cent.

And the guys we bought for the team members and put them in the old house, because in his house, we have no evidence to prove that they are ours, so in the end we can only spend money to buy them back from him.

One can imagine how important it is to keep this silver in your own hands.

Why can't we put the money we earn in our own hands?

Besides, holding the money in your hand does not mean that you will not take a cent from home in the future.

In the future, if your children and grandchildren want to get married, or if your family needs money for something else, if there is a shortage in the public, it will not be too late for you to take it.

And if you really get to the public middle school, it's up to you. Even if the silver in the public is put in your hand, it does not belong to you, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the silver.

I think that at the beginning, we were able to insist that there was no silver in the public because we all stood aside, and the old man was alone, he had no evidence, and no one had any evidence.

As long as it becomes a public middle school, if something happens in the future, you can't get it back if you want to, everyone else is standing aside, and you have no place to pay attention to it..."

Almost every sentence of Tang's sentence hit the hearts of the women, and the shock caused to them was not good.

It also made them reflect on the money, the food, the attitude towards the men in the family, and the attitude of their sons and daughters-in-law.
