Chapter 40: Keeping a Family 2
"One, to bury those who died in vain at the bottom of the lake, it should not cost much silver here, but it will also cost about two taels of silver, after all, it can't be too shabby to buy sacrifices;
Second, our dilapidated house should be demolished and rebuilt, and you also know that when it rains, which room in the house does not leak? The initial cost of building a house in our family does not need to be built too well all at once, and a rough house is estimated to cost ten taels of silver;
Three, it's time for my dad to do a small business, and he has been relying on the harvest in the field to eat, and our family can't get rich. Here I give ten taels of silver to my father's cost of doing business, and no matter how much it is, it will not work.
Fourth, the younger brother is just old enough to go to school this year, and it is just in the autumn to send him to study. Leng Junhua once said in front of me that the cost of going to the school is one tael of silver for two months, so it also needs five taels of silver a year.
In addition, two sets of good clothes are placed for the family, and if the broken and mended clothes are allowed to go out, they will be laughed at. It's estimated that it will cost three taels of silver!
After that, so there is not much left for the family, only ten taels at the bottom, but these ten taels of silver, five taels are for our family to prepare for emergencies, and the other five taels are for the younger brother to study. Once Qianxu studies, he must not give up halfway, if the younger brother can be admitted to the children's examination, the school is free of tuition. In the future, I will also take the test of showing talents, lifting people, exploring flowers, ranking eyes, and champions! ”
Su Qianying's words made Su Wenqing and Su Mushi shocked on the spot.
They never thought that the idea of the second daughter would be so mature!
It can even be said that they are not as long-term as she thinks.
The eldest sister Su Qianni sat there stunned, she has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, but she is far from being as long-term as the second sister thinks.
The current forty taels of this windfall have indeed changed the fate of their family.
In Xishui Township, if you don't go anywhere, or even just solve the idea of food and clothing, then these forty taels are enough for Su Wenqing and Su Mushi to live this life plainly.
Because, the expenses of ordinary people for a whole year are only three taels of silver.
Twenty copper coins can buy a foot of coarse cloth, and you can buy a few feet of back, which is equivalent to a string of money, and you can buy a whole set of cloth for clothes.
Su Wenqing looked at Su Qianying with relief, "You have grown up." Okay, just do what you say. ”
"Qianying, since you think so thoroughly, then my mother asks you, my mother still has five taels of silver in her hand, what should I do?"
Su Mushi asked the second daughter with a gentle smile, at this moment, she and her husband actually regarded their nine-year-old daughter as the backbone of the family and asked her opinion.
Su Qianying was stunned for a moment, "Mother, if you don't have any good ideas to make money, why don't you store it in the silver village?" ”
"That's right!"
Su Mushi suddenly realized!
She had forgotten about the existence of the silver village.
However, it's no wonder that she can't think of it for a while, the point is that their family has been poor for seven years, and in these seven years, they often can't eat too much at a meal, and there is little silver and less food, which is not enough, how can there be money to save in the silver village?
If you want to blame it, you have been poor for too long, and you have forgotten all the things that were once in Longzhou City.
Su Wenqing smiled bitterly and said on the side: "There is no silver village in Jiuyang Town. ”
