Chapter 175: Debt

"Well, I've saved a dozen taels of silver there, and it's time to pay back some of it."

Grandma Ye nodded, took out the box for storing money from the inside, opened it and placed it on the table, there were a few pieces of silver in it, some small silver coins, and the others were copper coins.

"Some of this money is earned by Qingyu and the eldest and second family's hard work of making cloth toys, most of it is made by Qingyu from the herbs he picked, and of course, there are also the wages earned by the mountains and rivers......"

"Mother, how much have my eldest brother and I earned, these days, it adds up to half a tael of silver." Ye Dahe interrupted her words and waved his hand and said, "It's not worth saying." ”

"That's not worth it, you two are not lazy, and you earn money with your strength seriously." Ye Wu glared at her husband and didn't like to listen to him.

"Yes." Ye Qin also agreed, "You are also very hard, but it is difficult to do and you make little money, so I don't blame you." ”

Ye Dahe didn't think of a word to himself, and annoyed his daughter-in-law.

However, he knew that many of his daughter-in-law's annoyances were because he cared about him, which made him grin and hurriedly say that he had said the wrong thing.

"Alright, stop making trouble." Ye Liu glanced at them with a smile, counted the money in the money box, and said, "There are a total of fifteen taels, six coins and fifty wen." ”

"That's so many!" Ye Qinshi rubbed his hands happily, "I paid back twelve taels last time, and if I pay these back, then there will be ...... Qingyu, do the math, how much more? ”

Ye Qin's family was a little happy that he couldn't settle the account.

"We owe a total of fifty taels and four dollars, and if we repay another fifteen taels and twelve taels this time, plus the twelve taels that have already been repaid, then there will be a debt of twenty-three taels left." Before Ye Qingyu could speak, Grandpa Ye touched his beard and said with a smile.

"Grandpa is right!" Ye Qingyu said with a smile.

"Twenty-three taels more! I used to say that it would be paid off in half a year, but now, I think it will be completely paid off in two months. Ye Qin said happily.

Everyone else also smiled and nodded, this news was so exciting, it was like the mountain that had been pressing on their bodies had been moved by more than half, making them feel much more relaxed physically and mentally.

"Dad, mother, my eldest brother's ten taels of silver will not be repaid first, not counting the remaining debts, let's just pay off the thirteen taels owed to others.

As I said before, the ten taels of silver they borrowed from me and Dahe a few years ago were not repaid, so they offset it. ”

Ye Wu said at this time.

"I know what you're talking about." Grandpa Ye said, "If you haven't paid it back, when the autumn harvest is over, you go back to your parents' house and discuss it with your eldest brother."

He disagreed, we still have to pay back the money, don't have a stiff relationship with your mother's family, in the past three years, your mother's family has also helped us a lot and given us a lot of food. ”

Ye Wu responded movingly, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

It is said that the daughter who marries out spills the water, she doesn't miss her mother's family, it's just that this mother's family doesn't treat her as well as her mother-in-law's family, and her heart naturally favors her mother-in-law's family.

What's more, the ten taels of silver were originally owed to her by the eldest brother before, and she didn't pay it back.

"Grandma, how much money do we owe to our uncle in the same village? Will these be enough to pay off? Ye Qingyu asked again.

"That's enough, there's one or two more." Ye Liu nodded, and knew why his granddaughter asked so, so he said,

"Dashan, Dahe, you will go to your uncles' houses for a while, return the money, and then ask them to come tomorrow to help build a house for Qingshu Qingfeng."
