Chapter 379 Bargaining
Gu Yunjiao said in a deep voice: "In the end, there are still grandparents here, I think she still lives in her mother's house." โ
Seeing that the two aunts were about to open their mouths to object, she said quickly: "Of course, my living expenses will be paid by me." โ
The two aunts quickly turned into thoughtful looks.
Gu Yunjiao then asked, "Uncle, now that there are more than 20 acres of land in this family, you can earn a lot of silver a year, right?" โ
The uncle hurriedly shook his head, "Where, after paying the taxes of the government, and then removing the family's chewing wraps, you can leave three or four taels of silver a year at most." โ
Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Then I give five taels of silver a year as her living expenses, what does my uncle think?" โ
She learned a truth from Zhao Lizheng last time, don't show your bottom line too early, otherwise it will only make people gain an inch.
Uncle's eyes lit up, five taels of silver is not less, even if you eat one pound of meat a day, it is enough to eat for more than a year.
He was just about to agree, but the eldest aunt coughed lightly, and the uncle was silent.
The eldest aunt glanced at the satin clothes on Li's body, and said unhurriedly: "Yunjiao, you don't know, this year's harvest in the field is not good, this family is very difficult, five taels of silver, I am afraid it is more difficult to feed one person." โ
The second aunt answered, "Besides, your mother doesn't know how to do things." โ
"The kitchen burned down last time, and it took two taels of silver to ask someone to repair it, so who knows what will happen in the future?"
Gu Yunjiao nodded, and said sincerely: "It's because I didn't think it through, those two aunts think that how much silver is appropriate for living expenses a year?" โ
The second aunt was quick-mouthed, "Then why don't you get ten taels of silver!" โ
The eldest aunt glared at the second aunt, "How can ten taels of silver be enough?" If you don't say anything, you have to - twenty taels? โ
Speaking of this number, the eldest aunt trembled in her heart, would this be too much.
It stands to reason that the Li family spends about two taels a year on food.
But thinking about the satin clothes on Li's body, and thinking about the gold bracelet on Gu Yunjiao's wrist, the eldest aunt felt that she didn't say much at all.
Gu Yunjiao lowered her eyes, this aunt was too ruthless, and she touched her bottom line at once.
An embarrassed look appeared on her face, "Auntie, it's not that I can't take out twenty taels of silver, it's just that, no matter what, she can't eat twenty taels of silver a year." โ
The eldest aunt hurriedly said: "Hey, Yunjiao, look at your mother, the satin clothes she is wearing, this food must not be bad, the chicken, duck and fish meat are so expensive." โ
"That's not a lot."
Gu Yunjiao was silent for a while, until the hearts of the two aunts were raised, and then she nodded slowly.
"Then it's twenty taels, but what she makes clothes for the seasons is also included."
The two aunts are simply ecstatic at the moment, twenty taels a year, and the family can divide ten taels.
Ten taels!
This is not a small amount of money, and as long as the Li family is here, they can get this money every year.
The two aunts became enthusiastic, and the eldest aunt said, "Yunjiao, you haven't eaten yet, why don't I go and make you a bowl of egg noodles?" โ
Gu Yunjiao shook her head, "I've already eaten it." โ
"However, I have to remind my uncle and aunt, you should pay attention, I am worried about ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
The second aunt hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your mother is here to keep her well-fed and well-dressed, we won't let her do her work, and we won't let her go out and run around." โ
Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Then I'll rest assured." โ
