However, Daddy's decision is also a good start, at least he will no longer be foolish and casually let the people in the big house continue to oppress.

Xi Feng's eyes rolled, and he said, "Ah Niang, is there still the income from the paddy field last year, can you give me thirty taels of silver?" ”

"What do you want so much silver for?" Ruan Shi was shocked, "There is still some silver, but you also have to keep it for backup, your eldest brother is not in good health, the one hundred taels of silver cannot be moved, and the rest is only thirty taels of silver, which is used by the family for a year." ”

This year, only three months later, there were thirty taels of silver left...... The income of the paddy field has to be harvested in the winter of the second half of the year, how can this little bit of silver be enough for most of the year?

Xi Feng remembered the set of red gold jewelry that A-Niang bought for her...... Suddenly I had a headache.

There are not many red gold jewelry, there are only two pieces in total, a gold hairpin, a gold bracelet, heavy, it cost sixty taels of silver, no wonder...... The year had just begun, and more than half of the money had been spent.

When Xi Tongfang heard this, he was immediately a little anxious, "Thirty taels, there is still more than half a year, how can it be enough?" ”

Ruan Shi sighed, "It's not enough, why not enough, don't you have a number in your heart, master, you don't want to close the shop, that's okay, in the future, the income collected in the grange, you don't want to use it to supplement the shop." ”

This time, Ruan's heart was determined and he no longer subsidized the two shops.

In fact, the coffin shop and the incense and candle shop are both old shops, and the shopkeeper Sun also has some ways to do business, and the business of the two shops is good, and they can earn more than three hundred taels of silver every year, but the two aunts and grandmothers of the Dafang and Xi families have to take away the goods of three or four hundred taels of silver from the two shops every year, and the little silver they earn is not enough to subsidize them, and they have to paste hundreds of taels of silver upside down.

The business in the coffin shop used to make more money a year, but now it ...... Every year, a hundred taels of silver should be poured into it.

The three adult people in the forest village surrounded the sandalwood and nanmu to hug a tree were cut and sold by the people of the big house, there is no big sandalwood and nanmu to make coffin wood, the shop can only sell a kind of fir coffin, the fir coffin is the coffin used by the general small door and small households, the coffins used by the rich are sandalwood or nanmu, a sandalwood is done, can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, in addition to the wages and material money, a sandalwood coffin can earn two or three hundred taels of silver.

And a thicker cedar coffin is only sold for forty or fifty taels of silver, in addition to the wages and material money, you can also earn a dozen taels of silver, and the sandalwood coffin is not comparable at all.

The coffin shop has no sandalwood coffin and Nanmu coffin to support the façade, and the business has faded a lot, and the silver earned has not been as good as before, but just like that, there are still people who go to the shop to take advantage.

Last year, the old An people of the aunt's grandmother's house died, and the aunt and grandmother sent someone to take away a thick cedar coffin for nothing, and some things used in the funeral, a total of more than 60 taels of silver.

The year before last, my aunt and grandmother passed away with a pair of in-laws, and more than 100 taels of silver were posted upside down in the shop......

In short, the two shops don't make money, but they just make money, and they don't have the high value of the things taken by the big house and the two aunts, so they lose money.

Shopkeeper Sun has reacted to Xi Tongfang many times, but Xi Tongfang said that they are all brothers and sisters in the family, and they don't have to quarrel for some money, and he also persuaded Shopkeeper Sun to turn a blind eye, making Shopkeeper Sun angry, and almost throwing his hands off.
