Chapter 172: Gossip
And that's not all, there's also a potion of enlightenment!
One person is two hundred taels of silver, and they all owe Zheng Linchu a lot of debt, and it is not good for her to continue to take credit from others, so she has to prepare another four hundred taels of silver here.
Then the gap widened to nine hundred and fifty taels.
During this period, I received a team member from a neighboring county, and I couldn't say that I would have to invest a lot of money in the future.
In this way, she estimated that it would take at least another month to buy the equipment she wanted.
What a resentment!
In fact, in addition to hunting, there is still an income recently.
That's the fruit grove.
Speaking of which, it has been nearly three months since her orchard was first planted seedlings, and some of the ones with short growth periods can be picked.
It's just that this harvest can't get her silver for the time being, but she has to pay off the Zheng family's debts first.
So she doesn't want to get any income from the fruit forest in the short term, but has to have a monthly expense.
But now that everything that should be built has been built, there shouldn't be any more moths, so that she can be a good money boy again, right?
At least it won't cost too much in the short term, and she can finally save money to buy equipment with peace of mind.
This evening, at the dinner table.
Generally, dinner time is the time when everyone in the Xue family has a homely time.
Who will let it be the only time to get the whole family together.
And the main force of this family routine is the Tang family.
In the past, she always liked to talk about Zhang's family, Li Jia's short, occasionally talked about how miserable the dead old man on the other side was, and scolded him by the way to relieve herself.
No, we're talking about it again today.
It's just that this time the conversation is unusual, and I don't know where she learned about such detailed gossip.
It is said that the old man Xue took away twenty taels of silver from them, but within a few days, there were only ten taels left.
If it is an ordinary family, there are ten taels of silver in the family, and there are nine acres of land, including seven acres of medium land, which is far enough to feed two people.
But this old man Xue can't do it.
Who made him get used to a good life, except for fine grains such as fine white flour and rice, he basically can't eat other coarse grains every day.
Even the meat is the same, and there is no shortage of meat to eat almost every day.
For two people, the daily food has not cost 20 yuan.
Of course, most of them were eaten by Old Man Xue, and the little daughter-in-law was reluctant.
If you eat like this every day, this expenditure is huge, how can you get six or seven hundred yuan a month, but now five or six months have passed, and it has cost nearly five taels of silver just to eat.
Let him eat like this, his family has to eat poor, the budget-conscious little daughter-in-law was helpless, so she wanted to remind him to save some flowers, but in exchange for beating and scolding, it was naturally impossible to listen to her in the end.
After a few times, she didn't dare to mention it again.
In order to have more income for the family.
The little daughter-in-law asked for three acres of land that he had originally rented to other families to plant and planted it herself.
In this way, the harvest of this field will naturally be its own.
It's not that she doesn't want to plant more, it's that three acres of land is already her limit.
And this old man, I don't know how many years I haven't farmed, and where I will plant now.
And even if he can plant, once this person is lazy, it is impossible for him to farm, especially at this age, so he will naturally not help.
So she was the only one who could do it.
If this is the case, it will be fine, and the harvest of nine acres of land will be enough for them to eat.
But this old man's heart is still big.
He still wants to hug the big fat boy.
After the little daughter-in-law entered the door, he stared at her stomach every day, thinking about holding his son as soon as possible to give them the Xue family heirloon.
As a result, months passed, and there was not a single fart.
I didn't expect a young girl to be so useless!
Old man Xue is so angry, he beats and scolds this little daughter-in-law at every turn.
But even that didn't help.
Her stomach just doesn't fight, so what should she do?
Can he return it?
This stomach is useless, and I still want to hold my son, so I have to prescribe medicine and take medicine.
Therefore, the little daughter-in-law pours so many medicines every day, doesn't it cost money?
If this continues, the family's money will become less and less.
In order to be able to stay, this old man Xue seemed to grit his teeth and fight, he didn't eat this meat or anything in the future, and replaced the fine grain with coarse grain.
But his determination is great, but whether he can hold it is a problem.
No, after only two days of eating, he can't hold on.
blames that group of unscrupulous descendants for harming him like this, so that he can't eat coarse tea and light rice.
The old man can only throw the pot to others.
You can complain and complain.
I can't save food, but I can't save my son.
The son is the root of his old Xue family, even if he borrows money, this medicine can't be broken.
So what to do? There's only a little bit of silver left on him.
Thinking about it, it seems that he can only sell land, and other than that, he has no other income.
An acre of medium land can only be sold for five taels of silver, which is obviously not enough, and the consumption of the medicine is greater than the food.
Therefore, Old Man Xue gritted his teeth and sold two acres of medium land.
Talking about this, Tang is angry in his heart.
This is the land they bought with their frugality, and it was so ruined by the dead old man.
Naturally, he scolded him fiercely before continuing to talk about gossip.
Let's talk about the old man.
Did you ask him if he ever thought that it was not the little daughter-in-law's problem, but his own reason?
That's impossible, he gave birth to two sons, how can there be a problem, it means that he was born a son's life, the problem is, of course, the hen that doesn't lay eggs, it is she who has overcome her son's luck.
After such a toss by Old Man Xue, this little daughter-in-law has now become a medicine jar.
The later it is, the more fierce this medicinal use becomes, and the silver will naturally be spent more.
Add to that the old man went around asking for medical advice.
Now, it is said that the twenty taels of silver that he had taken away in his hand have long been used up, and there are only a few taels of silver left in exchange for selling the field.
It's really like a lot of money.
and let Tang scold him for being a loser.
But when it came to the miserable experience of this old man, Tang was happy in his heart and felt that he deserved it.
Also, a bad old man in his sixties and seventies is still delusional about giving birth to cubs, it's just, what's the matter?
Bite off more than one can chew!
At first glance, it is a little girl who can't do it and relies on others, which is really shameless.
The more Tang talks about this, the happier he becomes.
Just gossip about it like an interesting thing.
However, everyone present felt that they were juniors, although they were separated, they couldn't change the fact that they were their elders.
But this does not include Xue Langjing.
She didn't have this elder in her heart for a long time, she always remembered the money she had been stolen from her, and the unwarranted scolding of Old Man Xue to her in the past, the most important thing was the twenty boards.
What kind of blood and family affection has long been broken up by these 20 boards, and now there are only grudges left.
Although she doesn't like to gossip very much, she still responds twice when her grandmother talks about the rise.
In this regard, as her father and the son of the person in the center of this gossip, Xue Yuhe naturally couldn't just look at his daughter and say bad things about her grandfather.
I had to cough and cough several times, signaling that her stubble was not good to pick up.
But Xue Langjing didn't see it, she only ate her own, and she should have a few words with her grandmother from time to time, so she couldn't be too happy.
After all, the money and the land were all taken from herself, and of course she didn't want this person to have a good time with her money.
