Two days later, in the evening, Ma returned to Ye's house happily, and as soon as he walked into the house, he said to his husband and son on the kang: "That's done!" ”

Ye Zhengde's eyes immediately lit up: "What about the silver?" Got it? ”

Ye Wenhao next to him also looked at his mother with anticipation.

Ma smiled excitedly, walked to the side of the kang, and took out a bag of broken silver from his cuffs: "Originally, the little grandson lady still wanted to wait for the girl to marry before giving it, let me make sense, the silver is here!" ”

Ye Zhengde showed a trace of excitement on his face, reached out and took the money bag, and fell on the kang with a "bang".

After a few breaths, he frowned: "Why is there less than three taels?" ”

"Ahem, that's the silver money that Da Lang studied after that, and the rest of the silver is enough for you!" Ma Shi coughed and said, she can't work hard, she can't get anything, right?

Except for the two taels of silver left for her son to study, she wants to keep the remaining one or two on her body, and most of her private money was searched by the Zhao family, so how can she leave some money on her body?

Ye Zhengde retorted: "How can you get three taels of silver to go to the school? Two taels of silver is enough, so bring the remaining one or two! ”

"I'm going to catch the exam, it's a serious matter, as long as I win the show this time, our family's good days are still ahead!"

"It's going to take you a few months, if something happens to our family, how can I do it if I don't leave some money around?" Ma said confidently.

Hmph, she earned all this money, what's wrong with her keeping some for herself?

"...... you" Ye Zhengde pointed at his wife and was speechless angrily, and when he saw his son looking at him, he barely endured his anger.

"What an ignorant woman!" He cursed, took the silver and went out angrily.

At night, in the main house.

Zhao put down the bowl, suddenly remembered something, and stared at Ma Shi at the table with small eyes: "You have been running out diligently these days, have you done it?" ”

Don't think she's a fool, if her eldest son hadn't told her about it, she wouldn't have agreed so happily, she has been thinking about it for the past few days.

Ma's eating action stopped, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's done." ”

"Where is the silver that the little Sun clan promised to give?" When he said this, Zhao's eyes were firmly fixed on her.

Ma Shi was disheartened by this look, hesitated, and replied, "In ..... At the husband's place. ”

In the next moment, I saw Zhao's small eyes glaring at the eldest son: "Okay, wow, if I don't ask today, are you going to hide this silver from me and hide this silver?" Where's the money, why don't you bring it out to me!" ”

Ye Zhengde stood up from the stool when he heard this, and said with a righteous face: "How can this be, mother, even if you don't ask about this, I plan to tell you." ”

As he spoke, he walked around the table and walked to the middle of the room: "It's just my mother, the four taels of silver I gave before are really not enough for me to catch the exam!" ”

"Da Lang Niang finally got these six taels of silver, why don't you let me use it as a test to catch the exam?"

As soon as Zhao heard this, he was reluctant, and opened his mouth to scold: "Let your shit go!" That's six taels of silver! You don't look at what life is happening at home, it's tight! ”

"Besides, in the past, it was enough for you to take the exam for seven or eight taels of silver, why did you use so much? Don't give me nonsense, give me the money! ”

Ye Zhengde has always been the most faceable person in the family, but at this time, when Zhao said this, his face was very unpleasant, and he didn't want to take out the silver.

Ye Zhengli, who was at the table, saw this scene and suddenly said loudly: "Big brother, don't you want to pay for money?" Yes, this money was obtained by the sister-in-law. “

"But in the past, how much money did the family spend for you? Do your own math, how many times have you rushed to take the exam? ”

"The fourth child also said before, this person rushes to take the exam once, and the cost is only four or five taels, why did you come here, but it costs ten taels of silver to count?"

"Don't be frugal at home, but you take this money and eat big fish and meat outside, tsk, if that's the case, aren't you always thinking about going to the exam?"

"What kind of exam is this, this is obviously a blessing? Others rush to take the exam, and everyone comes back to lose a lot of weight, how do I remember that every time my eldest brother goes to catch the exam and comes back, this person has to gain several laps? ”

"Hey, in this way, big brother, you won't really take the money saved by the family's frugality and go out to spend it indiscriminately, right?"

Ye Zhengde became anxious when he heard this, turned his head and scolded him: "Third brother, what are you talking about?" ”

"What am I studying so hard for? Isn't it to make life better at home? How can you frame me for no reason? ”

Zhao listened to the words of the third son, and then looked at the look on the eldest son's face, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and carefully recalled the situation every time the eldest son came back before.

Originally, I wanted to leave a few more taels of silver for my son, but I immediately stopped.

scolded him with a stiff face: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take out the silver for me!" ”

As she spoke, she got up from her stool and walked briskly towards her son.

"Oh, mother, what are you doing, I'll give, can't I give it?"

Ye Zhengde dodged his mother's big hand, and reluctantly took out a money bag from his cuffs, and before he could feel sorry for his silver, he was snatched away by Zhao's split!

Ye Zhengli saw this scene, and there was a hint of happiness in his eyes, they are all mother's sons, why should you take advantage of them?

Zhao Shi checked the silver, and after making sure that the number was correct, he reached out and wanted to stuff it into the cuffs.

Ye Fang, who was next to him, saw this scene, coughed twice, and spoke: "Ahem, four taels of silver is indeed a little less, as the saying goes, the poor are rich." ”

"The boss goes to Fucheng for a scientific expedition, in case something happens, it's better to have more silver on his body, wife, you can get him another four taels of silver!"

Zhao wanted to refute, but when he saw the eldest son's face, he didn't have to be ruthless, hesitated, and took out three taels of silver from the money bag.

"Just give three taels, a lot! That's the number in the past! ”

..........

At night, in the big house, Ye Zhengde walked around the house angrily, and kept muttering: "Mother, how can she be like this? What is seven taels of silver enough for? ”

"Getting together with friends, solving each other's doubts, buying books, and asking people for experience, what kind of thing doesn't need money? Ten taels of silver is already very tight, let alone seven taels? ”

Ma Shi next to him was silent, for fear that he would ask him for the silver tael.

But seeing that Ye Zhengde didn't know what he thought, he suddenly sat on the kang and whispered to her: "I recently heard that the head of the Yu family in Lingquan Village seems to be fascinated by that one like the Qian family. “

"Now I'm constantly buying people at home, you go and inquire to see how much money they can come up with, if they have this silver, I will definitely be sure to get nine out of ten in this scientific expedition!"

Ma Shi heard this, hesitated for a few breaths before returning: "But the age of the girls in the family doesn't seem to be appropriate?" ”

"Hey, you don't understand, for those people, the younger the child, the better the price, I think the flowers of the third brother's family are quite suitable......"
