Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 41

25 taels, three taels are 75 taels, counting the cabbage and eggs in the field, and finally the tall man got rich and gave him a tael of silver. Before leaving, he asked them to give him something good Keep it, he will come to collect food in the future.

After watching the convoy go away, Jin Meiyu asked her friends to share the money.

Before distributing the money, Jin Meiyu explained her thoughts to them in detail.

"Don't think that 25 taels is a loss. This money is our hard-earned money. People must be content. 25 taels is definitely not a low price. Moreover, selling them directly can save us a lot Trouble, such as the trouble of transporting and finding a buyer, also reduces the risk of accidents for us. In the end, it is also the most important point. If we really want to sell the fish, we must alarm the adults in the village. At that time, we will definitely not be able to allocate so much money.”

After hearing this, the children who were still tempted by money calmed down one by one.

Indeed, as children and juniors, they are indeed not entitled to so much money!
This is an era of filial piety, seniority, and clan. The children live a hard life, but they have been instilled with such concepts since they were young. That is why Jin Meiyu can speak so well among this group of children.

Seeing that no one objected, Jin Meiyu began to distribute the money.

She didn't give them the money directly, but told them about her plan.

"I don't plan to distribute the money to you directly. I will take part of it and entrust someone to buy ready-made cotton and grain. If you have any needs, you can also tell me. As long as you confirm that there is a real need, I will take the money." from."

In this regard, these children still have no objection.

After all, this model is very common in every family. The head of the family decides to manage the money and rations, and the rest of the family just need to obey and work.

Of course, there is one more thing to say, and that is.

"I will hand over five taels of silver to the clan, and tell the outside world that it is the money we earned from selling fish. This will also explain why we have money to buy clothes for you."

Five taels of silver.

The children who heard it couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

Five taels of silver, in their village, excluding the Jin family, all the deposits of all the families can't make up five taels!

Seeing the pained faces of the children, Jin Meiyu explained.

"We earned 75 taels. We should give [-] taels to the clan. Don't feel distressed. We can earn it back in the future."

"Really? Can we still have a chance to make money in the future?"

Jin Meiyu nodded, and began to look ahead with the children.

"You see, you are still young, but you will definitely grow up in the future. When you grow up, do you want to live? But you have no place to live in every field, how do you live? So, we have to work harder , try to earn more money, and then buy fields and houses.”

The eyes of the children were reddened by what Jin Meiyu said, but they nodded fiercely.

Yes, they have to work very hard to make money, and then buy fields and houses!
Therefore, their eyes on Jin Meiyu became more determined.

After confirming, Jin Meiyu did not delay, she first found Jin Mangu.

Jin Mangu went to Lijia Village to deliver eggs, and when he came back, he was dragged by Jin Meiyu and muttered for a while. Jin Mangu was almost stunned the whole time, and when Jin Meiyu finished speaking, Jin Mangu squatted with his head in his arms down.

"Mangu, did you hear what I said?"

"Um……"

"Then what are you squatting down for?"

Jin Mangu wiped his face, stood up slowly, and then asked his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure you want to support them? There are eight of them. Building a house and buying fields for them is not a small amount of money. 75 taels of silver may not be enough."

"Why am I raising them? They can support themselves. The money is not mine, but ours. Isn't it normal to spend it on them?"

"Sister-in-law, that's 75 taels."

"Yes, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. We can't covet other people's things."

Jin Mangu was almost speechless by Jin Meiyu's words, and he took a while to speak.

"Sister-in-law, who did you learn this routine from?"

Who did you learn from?Of course it is a learning system.

Of course, she couldn't say such things directly, she could only change the subject.

"Mangu, are you going or not? If you don't, I'll go find someone else!"

"Sister-in-law, who do you want to see?"

"The elder sister's husband's house who is looking for my sister-in-law is the one who repaired the chicken coop for us, Zhuzi's house. I think their adults are still very good. It should be okay to ask them to bring me something back."

Saying that, Jin Meiyu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jin Mangu.

"Wait, wait, my little aunt, don't say anything about this! Good aunt, I know aunt, I'm sure I'll take care of this matter for you, just take care of it."

"No problem?"

"No problem."

Jin Meiyu was satisfied, and then gave him two silver ingots.

"This is ten taels of silver, more refunds and less compensation. The fabric of the clothes does not need to be too good, but it must be strong. The cotton must be new and not heavy. The most important thing is rations. Don't care about the taste, but it must be the kind that can fill you up." For belly, it’s better to buy more at a cheaper price. There’s also ginger and white sugar, Dr. Li said that the rainy season is coming, so we should prepare more for this.”

Jin Mangu nodded and nodded again, and he agreed to everything Jin Meiyu said.

After finishing speaking, Jin Mangu left without Jin Meiyu, and Jin Meiyu didn't intend to go with him.

Jin Meiyu went to find Dr. Li again, and specially asked him for some medicinal powder that can repel mosquitoes.

The price of this medicine powder is not cheap, but Dr. Li assured that the effect is excellent, so Jin Meiyu hesitated to pay him five taels of silver.

Doctor Li was surprised when he got the money.

"Your father is really willing to give up on you."

Jin Meiyu didn't explain, and was about to leave with the medicine bag, but was reminded again by Dr. Li.

"Girl, the rainy season is coming, what do you do with so many chickens in your house? If you can't afford it and want to sell it, remember to tell me."

Jin Meiyu was also dumbfounded.

That's right, if it keeps raining outside, the chickens will definitely not be able to go outside for food, so does she have to prepare some food for the chickens?

After thanking Dr. Li, Jin Meiyu hurried to find Jin Mangu, wanting her to get some chicken food for her, but when she ran back to Zhaojia Village, Jin Mangu had already returned home Yes, the silver and demand have been sent out.

Oops, how can this be done.

Jin Mangu comforts Jin Meiyu.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic, if there is really nothing to eat, we can still kill chickens to eat."

Jin Meiyu glared at Jin Mangu, Jin Mangu shrank his neck, turned around and said.

"Actually, sister-in-law, don't worry. Most of these chickens are wild. They must have experienced the rainy season. Isn't this growing well?"

Even though he said so, Jin Meiyu was still worried, so she went to the chicken pen to take a look.

It was not night yet, and all the chickens in the family ran out, even the seven chickens that were originally penned away disappeared, and the chicken pens were cleaned up very clean.

Jin Mangu followed Jin Meiyu and turned to the back, looked left and right, and couldn't help but praise.

"This must have been the pillar. Look, how clean it is."

Jin Meiyu didn't see Zhuzi today, she thought Zhuzi didn't come to see her today, but she didn't expect to come, but she missed it.

"When did the pillar come? Why didn't I know?"

"He came a little late today, I saw him when I came back to get eggs."

"Then did you stuff him with eggs?"

Jin Mangu blinked his big eyes with an innocent expression.

Well, needless to say, Jin Meiyu already knew about it.

She went back to her room, stuffed the remaining silver taels into her big wooden box, and handed the medicine package to Jin Mangu.

"You divide this packet of medicinal powder into small portions and pack them up. I'll go out for a while."

"Sister, are you going there?"

"Go to the village chief's house first."

After speaking, I remembered that I had stuffed all the silver taels into the wooden box, so I went back and took out five taels.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to go out, I'll call back the meat and oil."

"No, I'll just go by myself, and they have something to do."

"What's the matter, why don't I go with you, sister-in-law, and it's the same for the medicine package when you come back."

"No, you divide the medicine pack, and after you divide it, you have to send it to the children in the ancestral hall."

With that said, Jin Meiyu trotted out the door.

Jin Mangu didn't hesitate, threw the medicine bag on the table, and went after Jin Meiyu by himself.

"Sister-in-law, wait, I will go with you!"

"Oh, I told you to distribute the medicine packs at home."

"It's okay, sister, it's the same when you come back. I'm sure I won't delay your business."

In the end, Jin Meiyu let Jin Mangu follow.

Jin Meiyu did go to the village head's house first. The village head was sitting in the yard smoking dry tobacco. The long pipe and pot looked like a steelyard, and the pipe was hung below without even shaking.

While the village chief was enjoying the tranquility, Jin Meiyu rushed in with Jin Mangu.

"Old village chief, I have something to do!"

The village head exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and had some opinions on Jin Meiyu's title.

"Girl, don't be like your father, you have to call me the village chief's grandfather."

Jin Meiyu didn't buy it.

"Daddy told me that you, the village chief, belong to my generation. I will call you the old village chief."

The village chief knocked on his cigarette pipe dissatisfied, and his tone was not kind.

"What your father said is wrong, I am a generation older than your father!"

"But you married my mother's niece."

This niece is considered far away, how far away is it, so far away that the village and her surname are separated.

Although this niece is a little younger, she is not young. She is the village head's original spouse and is the same age as the village head.

Speaking of his wife, although the village head was still dissatisfied with Jin Meiyu's title, he didn't say anything else.

"Okay, okay, tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Jin Meiyu didn't talk nonsense with the village chief, she directly took out the silver ingot from her arms and showed it to the village chief

"Village chief, I'm here to send money to the clan."

After seeing the silver ingot, the village chief stopped smoking and stopped showing off, his squinted eyes widened.
