Chapter 60: The Heavy Silver
Liu Wan saw that Wu Hui was sad and took care of her as a pregnant woman, so she was easily emotional, and patiently explained.
Wu Hui sounded as if this was the reason, sobbing and choking, still a little angry.
Wang Xiao was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered good words to appease her.
Seeing that the young couple was quite speculative, Liu Wan was quite comforted.
She is not the kind of perverted mother-in-law, she will make a fuss when she sees the young couple being good.
Liu Wan heard that some mothers-in-law will be jealous when they see that their sons and daughters-in-law have a good relationship, and they will make all kinds of demons when they feel uncomfortable, and all kinds of obstacles will be set up for the relationship between young couples.
When Liu Wan heard about such a thing, she looked down on that kind of mother-in-law, your son was raised by you, yes, when your son is older, her feelings will naturally be handed over to another strange woman, and her mother-in-law immediately regards her daughter-in-law as an enemy, becoming an obstacle to the relationship between young couples, and even a killer, such a mother-in-law is simply psychopathic.
Human psychology is really delicate, if you can't position yourself well and choose the right time to "wean", it will cause an embarrassing situation of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law "grabbing people".
Liu Wancai doesn't want to be such a mother-in-law.
"Xiaohui, don't worry, we sold the recipe this time, and we also earned 20 taels of silver! Nor do we suffer. ”
Liu Wan wanted to give Wu Hui a reassurance.
The mood of the pregnant woman should not be too low, Liu Wan wanted to make Wu Hui happy.
"What? Sold for 20 taels of silver? So valuable? ”
When Wu Hui heard this, she was really shocked, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, let Xiao'er show it to you."
Liu Wan grinned and handed the brass key of the cabinet to Wang Xiao and motioned for him to go to her house to get the silver.
Although Wang Xiao handled the money in the family, it was all in Liu Wan's hands in the end.
Wang Xiao obediently went, took the silver out of Liu Wan's locked cabinet, and showed it to Wu Hui.
Twenty taels of silver, and ten taels of silver for one ingot, two ingots in all.
Don't talk about Wu Hui, none of the babies in the family have ever seen a silver ingot of ten taels, everyone gathered around and happily touched the silver.
Wang Li also put it in his mouth exaggeratedly, took a hard bite, and then said excitedly:
"It's not hard, it's soft."
"What is hard is not silver."
Wang Jingyi is very experienced, in fact, he also listened to the chat of the friends in the village.
But he should be the first person in the village to hold ten taels of silver in his own hands.
Although Liu Wan had saved more than a dozen taels of silver before, they were all broken silver, far less shocking than the silver of ten taels and one ingots.
It was also the first time for Wu Hui to hold such a heavy ingot of silver in her hand, which was heavy and weighty.
"Mother, is this true?"
Wu Hui still looked incredulous.
"Of course it's true! If the shopkeeper gives me fake silver, he won't have to do business.
You do your job well, and I will pay you every month from now on. ”
"What is a salary?"
Wang Jing couldn't help asking.
"It's the wages you get for your labor!"
Liu Wan realized that she was using a modern word.
But strangely, the children did not show anything unusual.
Liu Wan once again realized how important it was to have a strong mother's family, and it was estimated that the children would automatically think that her new term was brought out by a strong mother's family.
Fortunately, there were no flaws.
"Mother, you don't have to pay your salary, these money are all public money."
But Wang Xiao reacted immediately.
"Naturally, a part of the money in the public school should be kept for unified scheduling, I have considered it, you can rest assured.
Our house is so dilapidated and ventilated on all sides, I plan to build a new house when I have saved enough money. ”
Liu Wan would be better able to build a four-entry courtyard, she likes a wide courtyard, the children live together, and then there is an independent living space, usually no one bothers anyone, there is something to do A bowl of soup is not cold distance can be reached.
But Liu Wan didn't know that according to the rules of this dynasty, there were also regulations on building houses.
History books say: Feudal society, whether it is food or clothing, has a firm hierarchical restriction. There is also a hierarchy of the size of the houses.
The mansions of officials at all levels and wealthy merchants and gentry are large-style, and they are characterized by the use of glazed tiles, and the dougong color is decorated with strict regulations;
The houses of ordinary people are small, and the color of the housing specifications can only be black, white and gray.
I wonder if there are these stinky rules here?
Liu Wan knew from her memory that this was the Yuan Dynasty, a dynasty that had never been recorded in history, so she had no way of knowing the rules and taboos.
Although she lived in this era, the countryside was visibly poor, everyone ate three meals a day, and it was difficult to fill her stomach, so how could she have time to think about anything else.
As far as the houses are concerned, the village is full of single-family adobe houses, and there is no money to violate the "ban" at all.
But it doesn't matter, if there is a violation system for building a house with more than three entrances, she will build a house with two entrances, which can develop horizontally and ensure the number of rooms, which is still the same as the effect she wants to achieve.
"Mother, how much does it cost to build a new house?"
Wu Hui's heart tightened.
"Don't worry, no matter how much money it is, you should be able to plan it by this time next year."
Liu Wan's tone of voice was very resolute and full of confidence.
Wu Hui didn't believe it in her heart, she made 20 taels of silver at once today, which was the only way to cut off her future wealth.
She was very conflicted, her family finally had a savings of 20 taels of silver, but what about her future livelihood?
The bean paste can't be sold, although the chicken feet are delicious, but she is not particularly optimistic, there are problems with the raw materials, and there are also problems with the appearance of the chicken feet.
At home, everyone saw with their own eyes how Liu Wan handled these chicken feet, of course, they were safe to eat.
But if you sell it, I'm afraid that some people will dislike it, after all, the chicken feet are the part that is stepped on the ground.
Wu Hui can't say this now, the business hasn't opened yet, so she says something unpleasant, which is a bit unlucky.
She also hopes that Liu Wan's chicken feet can be sold.
The family chatted and didn't say anything serious, and quickly brought the topic over.
Liu Wan slapped her thigh at this time, suddenly remembered an important thing, and said:
"Oh, by the way, Xiao'er, what about the clothes we bought today? Where to put it?
I've bought a set of clothes for each of you, and you guys can try it. ”
Everyone's attention was attracted by Liu Wan's basket of chicken feet, so the clothes in another bamboo basket were ignored by everyone.
"Mother, it's in your room." Wang Xiao said, "I'll go and get it." ”
Wu Hui didn't expect her mother-in-law to buy new clothes, this is too hateful, why do you just make a little money and buy casually?
"Mother, how much did it cost to buy clothes?"
Wu Hui couldn't help but ask.
"Three taels of silver." Liu Wan didn't feel distressed on her face.
"So expensive?" Wu Hui's hands tightly clutched the corners of his clothes.
Wang Xiao took out the clothes at this time and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone has a new set of clothes for themselves.
Everyone thinks it's expensive, but who doesn't like to wear new clothes?
