Chapter 22
"Five taels!" She lowered her head and hurriedly replied, "Brother made a big deal and got a reward from the boss. He said he would give ten taels, but he gave five taels instead. Mother also lost her temper."

"I'll answer you. Can you let me go now?" Su Hexiang was frightened to death by all kinds of ghost stories made up in her mind.She wanted to move her steps, but she found she couldn't.She believed more and more that Su Yunman was possessed by a demon and cast a spell on her.

"Sister-in-law," Su Yunman smiled inwardly.Seeing that her face turned pale with fright, she signaled Su Yunxue not to press her arm. "Sister-in-law, if you can let grandma only ask for five taels of silver from my family, my father will give you one tael."

"Really?" Su Hexiang stood up excitedly.Then she calmed down again and said, "Where did your father get the silver? Don't lie."

Su Yunxue grabbed Su Hexiang who was about to leave, and explained: "Sister, you know, my father has to borrow money at ten taels or five taels. If we give ten taels to grandma, you won't get a penny... ..."

Su Hexiang knew what Su Yunxue meant.It doesn't cost much to build a new house for the third brother.The rest is not her turn, except how much the sweet-talking third brother can coax away.

"In fact, this is also filial piety to grandma," Su Yunman said. "My father can't get ten taels of silver. Grandma will be angry. Sister-in-law, grandma loves you the most. If you can persuade grandma to only ask for five taels, even if we sell everything, we can give you one tael."

"Does your father mean that?" Su Hexiang didn't believe that the second brother would leave such an important matter to these two girls.

Dad was afraid that he would be seen by the villagers when he came.When he spoke in front of grandma, he involved sister-in-law. "Su Yunman's explanation is somewhat reasonable. "We didn't get the money to buy candy, it was given to us by dad." "

"Humph", Su Hexiang stretched out her hand again, "Take out the money that the second brother gave you."

Su Yunxue was stunned, and Yun Man blinked at her: "My aunt is right. Sister, please give me all the five cents my father gave me!"

Su Yunxue vaguely agreed, and slowly took out the money one by one.Su Hexiang thought she was unwilling.In fact, she was afraid of accidentally taking too much.

The four copper coins finally arrived in Su Hexiang's hands.She didn't have a wallet with her, so she had to open the handkerchief wrapped in candy, carefully separated the four coins and Douer candy with the handkerchief, put them back in her arms, walked around the two little girls happily, and left.

Su Yunxue was taken aback, and wanted to hug her, but was stopped by Su Yunman.She turned angrily and asked, "Why did you let her go? She hasn't said if she can help!"

Su Yunman was not in a hurry.She explained slowly: "You think Aunt He Xiang would not even give up a penny of candy. She went back with four pennies. Doesn't she have to think about a tael of silver every day? That's a thousand copper coins."

Su Yunxue also felt that this was the case, but she still felt sorry for the five cents, and murmured that her sister was a prodigal.

Su Genliang and Xu Xiumei in Haiming Island obviously didn't know, the sisters ran to fool Su Hexiang.Su Genliang didn't borrow any money all morning.People living in Haiming Island must not be rich, and no one can help them.

"Gousheng said." Su Genliang obviously didn't sleep well all night. "His eyes were bloodshot." Another shop said he wanted sturgeon.The price is higher than what he said yesterday.This time, I will give two taels of silver first, and then reward the fish when the fishing season is caught. "

Xu Xiumei knew that these two taels were just to catch up with the fishing season for "life money", but she didn't understand how the sturgeon suddenly became popular.
