Chapter 23: To each his own way
What can you do with twenty taels of silver?
According to the price level of the Canglan Empire, polished rice is twenty wen a catty, a hundred yuan is hanging, and a thousand yuan is a thread.
That is, 100 Wen is a hanging money, and 1,000 Wen is consistent money.
The value of the money is equivalent to one tael of silver, and twenty taels of silver can buy a thousand catties of polished rice, which is enough for a family to eat for a whole year.
It's just a ton of polishing rice, which is a treatment that only rich and noble families have, and farmers also have soybeans, millet, and millet to eat together, so these twenty taels of silver are enough for Lin Xiaohe's family to have no worries about food and clothing within a year.
Lin Xiaohe believes that if she is given a year, she will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to this family.
Lin Xiaohe got the silver, and the matter was settled.
Village Chief Liu looked at Lin Xiaohe with great emotion, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
"The girl is a good boy, Dahu, you are convinced. If possible, leave the girl at home. ”
This proposal made Lin Dahu's heart moved.
Lin Dahu understood the words of the village chief, he has no son now, if he can find a husband for Lin Xiaohe and is willing to join their family, then his house will not be cut off from the incense.
At that time, the entry and succession were very grand and serious things, and once a son-in-law was recruited, then he had to change his surname to the girl's surname and be a member of the girl's family.
A child like an adoptive enjoys the same treatment as his own son.
The small courtyard finally quieted down, and Lin Xiaohe felt extremely tired.
Now that he let go of his thoughts, the whole person fell straight up, which frightened Lin Dahu.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaohe just fell asleep, and there was no big problem.
Mrs. Lin returned to the mansion and felt uneasy. Liu Yufeng was jealous that Lin Xiaohe got twenty taels of silver.
"Mother, why did you give the money to that cheap girl? Twenty taels of silver! How many chickens can you buy! ”
In fact, at this time, if Liu Yufeng was smarter, he would not have come to Mrs. Lin.
Hearing Liu Yufeng say this, Mrs. Lin jumped violently.
"Eat, eat, eat, why don't you eat you little prodigal. What does the old lady want you for? Twenty taels of silver, that's cutting the old lady's meat, but can you not give it? In the final analysis, it was you, a little prodigal hoof, who provoked it, if it weren't for your greedy rammer talking nonsense, would the old lady be able to give up this large sum of silver? ”
The more Mrs. Lin talked, the more angry she became, now that she had come to her senses, if it weren't for Liu Yufeng accusing Lin Xiaohe, how could things have developed like this?
Now it's okay, the eldest son has cut off the relationship with herself, and she has put in twenty taels of silver, and now she can't wait to eat Liu Yufeng.
"Mother, what you said is as if I gave away twenty taels of silver. Besides, I didn't lie, don't you think that cheap girl did something unseemly? You also beat people, now why do you blame me. ”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she jumped up and kicked Liu Yufeng's stomach.
Liu Yufeng sighed and sat on the ground, and Mrs. Lin bullied herself and punched Liu Yufeng for a while.
In the second room of the Lin family, the second aunt Li Jinfeng sat in the hall, restless.
Lin Ping'er and Lin Huan'er were very happy.
"Mother, what are you so worried about? Uncle is divided, which is a good thing for us.
Uncle is now a waste of legs, and he can't do anything, it's just a burden.
My third brother is destined to be an official, is it possible that you are really ready to bring this big family with you? Then my third brother is so tired.
How good it is now, the uncle left our Lao Lin family directly. ”
Lin Huan'er said: "That's it, mother, my sister is right." The uncle's family fell into this field, and it is inseparable from Lin Xiaohe.
You see, how old she is, she has done such a shameless thing, if she follows us in the future, maybe something will go wrong.
The third brother is a face-saving person, if he has this kind of sister, how will he get it in the future? ”
Li Jinfeng knew in his heart that things were not like this, and sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaohe is not this kind of person." ”
Lin Ping'er pursed her lips: "Mother, you are too good at heart, look at everyone is a good person." I don't think the third aunt is lying about this.
Although the third aunt is greedy, small-minded, and loves to lie, this matter is clearly not good for her. Listen, I'm being beaten by my right now. If she didn't see it, why did she wronged Lin Xiaohe? ”
When Li Jinfeng heard this, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious in her heart, she still knew Liu Yufeng, a typical unprofitable can't afford to be early, this time it really makes people can't see through why she did it.
"But didn't Xiaohe say it, she went into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and your uncle's family was not easy."
Lin Huan'er walked up to Li Jinfeng and pressed her on the chair: "Oh mother, that stinky girl always goes up the mountain on weekdays, when did she pass so early?" But the third aunt also bumped into it? I see, it's not that simple.
It's not easy for the uncle's family, but isn't it easy for our family? You see, my sister and I have been wearing this dress for two years, and there is no new one.
Mother, Humu's day is coming, my sister and I want to go to the town to see Dad, or you can go with you. ”
Li Jinfeng glanced at his second daughter deeply, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Although she sympathizes with Dafang, she is only sympathetic.
But her daughter is her own after all, she knows that her two daughters don't deal with Lin Xiaohe, and she looks down on their uncle, so she doesn't have much to say.
The thoughts of the two daughters, how can she, a mother, not know?
It's not fake to go to the town, it's not fake to see your father, they mentioned the rest of the day, the main purpose is to get some students through the hall.
Li Jinfeng is not very opposed, and those who can play with Lin Tang must not have a bad character.
As a mother, how can anyone not want her daughter to marry a good family.
It's just that Lin Xiaohe's matter reminded her that when she was a girl, she heard a lot of stories, those who read books are the most deceiving, in case her daughter does something shameless outside, how can it be good?
It's just that she can only keep this worry in her heart.
"Mother won't go, my cousin will be taken care of by your father, and I can rest assured. Go back and bring something to your father and cousin, and tell Tang'er to study hard. ”
Lin Xiaohe's second uncle Lin Daniu found a job as a kitchen helper in a restaurant in the town, and he can earn ten yuan a day, and three hundred yuan a month, but more than half of this money has to be handed over to Mrs. Lin.
Lin Tang's eating and drinking expenses are basically the money earned by Lin Daniu's part-time job, even if Lin Daniu pays less money, Mrs. Lin also turns a blind eye, after all, nothing is as important as the eldest grandson's studies. And every time Lin Tang came back, Mrs. Lin always secretly gave him money, which was too biased.
