Chapter 60

"You got the money too! Why don't you hurry up?!" Du Yongxing's eyes widened.

Du Xuan was not annoyed when she heard the words, but just weighed the coarse cloth bag in her hand again, "Don't you think that as long as you speak loudly, the money will become heavier, uncle?"

She weighed it with her hand, and the coarse cloth bag contained at most 15 taels, and she hadn't even opened it to see if it was all silver, maybe there were copper coins in it to make up the number?
Liu's mind was active, and she immediately said to Du Yongfu, "Go to the village chief's house and borrow the justice scale."

Because every household has to pay taxes and grains every year, the village chief will weigh and measure them, and wait for people from the county to come and take them away.

Therefore, although many farmers in Zhao'an Village also have scales, so that they can go to the town to sell some of the things they grow and raise, but the steelyard at the village head's house can be called the fair scale of their Zhao'an Village.

Du Yongxing originally had a ferocious expression as if he was about to eat people, but suddenly he was a little discouraged, showing a feeling of being stern and stern.

Du Yongfu knew that his daughter-in-law had always had ideas, so when he heard this, he was ready to go.

Du Xuan also poured out the contents of the bag with a smile. As expected, apart from a few pieces of silver, there were also some bits and pieces of copper plates.

Things like copper plates are worthless. According to the current ratio of the banks and banks in the county, hundreds of copper plates are worth one or two taels of silver.

There are hundreds of copper plates, which is extremely heavy!
If it is said that Du Yongxing does not have enough silver taels, it would be fine if he used the usual copper plate to top it up.

But just such a few fragments of copper plates, packed in a coarse cloth bag with the broken silver, this is obviously an idea from the beginning to make up for the money.

From the beginning, I planned to use some copper coins to top up the number. Anyway, throwing such a bag over is quite heavy.

Du Yongxing reckoned that Du Xuan could feel more at ease after she got the heavy purse, at least she wouldn't count it in front of her.

Because in Du Yongxing's impression, this niece is weak and easy to bully. Recently, she has suddenly become so difficult to deal with. It is probably because she has been oppressed too hard these years and has been forced to do so.

Du Yongxing figured that as long as she went out of Du's house and found that the amount in the money bag was wrong, he would not admit it.

Who knew, Du Xuan really opened the money bag and counted it face to face.

"It's hard for uncle to use copper coins to top up." Du Xuan looked up at Du Yongxing with a half-smile, "I thought you were planning to use pebbles to fool me."

Du Yongxing's face was black and red, and he probably felt a little shameless.

In particular, with regard to these incidents in his family these days, the movement is so loud that the whole Zhao'an village is very clear.

Everyone is a peasant family, working at sunrise and resting every day, so there is no entertainment, so going to the east and the west becomes a living adjustment.

How many people are curious about these things that are going on in Du's house, and everyone can't wait to move their benches to Du's house to watch the fun.

But it's inappropriate, isn't it?
But even if you don't move the bench to watch the excitement, there are still plenty of gossips outside listening to what's going on inside.

For example... Mrs. Zhou, the wife of the village chief.

It was probably because she hadn't been angry for so many years, so after being angry with Yang last time, she remembered her hatred, which made Du Da's family hate her.

Du and everyone have been making a fuss recently, and Mrs. Zhou is not to mention how happy she is.

Even her perception of Du Xuan has improved a lot.

So she just listened outside with her ears open.

This is simply more exciting than the operas sung by those troupes in the city!Mrs. Zhou regretted that she didn't bring some melon seeds over to knock them over.

Especially when I heard Du Xuan's mocking smile, 'I thought you were going to use pebbles to fool me'.

Zhou couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Even if you know that your family has been treated as a joke, but everyone is a neighbor who doesn't look up and looks down, so save some face.

Eavesdropping is eavesdropping, what's the matter with snickering? !

Du Yongxing had nowhere to vent his resentment at first, so he growled immediately, "Why are you laughing? Are you kidding me?"

The Zhou family was addicted to watching the excitement, so he knocked on the door of Du's house.

In the farmyard, there is not much distance between the gate of the yard and the entrance of the main house, they are very close.Therefore, Zhou's voice outside the courtyard gate could be heard clearly by them at the gate of the main room.

"Xuanniang, I'll go back and get you a fair scale!"

Of course Du Xuan recognized Zhou's voice with one ear.

He said that Xue Liangjun's mother was not of this temperament in the past, but she was angry with Yang last time, as if some switch had been turned on.

Du Yongxing couldn't hold back his face, and hastily took out a few taels of silver.
Du Xuan weighed it, and combined it with the broken silver in the previous purse, it was considered to be 15 taels.

"My dowry is the twelve taels left by Qi Yan's relatives before they left. When you sold my mother, the cripple was a skilled carpenter even though his legs were not good."

"The cripple has saved a little money over the years. If he wants to ask for a wife, he is afraid of being rejected. When he is looking for a matchmaker, he is quite willing. He gave the matchmaker five taels of silver, and then went to the town to cut a few catties of pork and bought dozens of them. an egg, two bolts of cloth, and a jar of sugar."

"The matchmaker took two taels of silver, and you took three taels, but you took all those things. At that time, my mother felt sorry for me. When I married, there was no dowry, not even a new dress. I thought to leave these things to you, you can treat me better."

"But I haven't seen any of these things, even if the three taels of silver are combined here. Here I weigh it and it's only 15 taels. Uncle, what's the matter? My father gets two taels of money for the division of the family." ? My father’s life is worth two taels?”

Du Yongxing snorted coldly, "Would you like it? Anyway, there is only this little money in the family now. If you want to share it, the third child will also share it. How can there be so much money to share?"

Du Xuan was really too lazy to keep arguing with everyone.

Originally, he would gossip like this, just to vent his anger. To put it bluntly, it was purely to embarrass everyone Du.

Do you really want to rely on everyone's money to get rich?She really didn't think about it.

What she has done these days is enough to cause trouble for everyone Du.

She felt that it was almost done, and it was time to go back to their respective homes and live their own lives.

"All right, I'm too lazy to hang out with you anymore." Du Xuan turned to look at Liu Shi and Du Yongfu.

"Auntie, you have to be careful later, don't be deceived, Aunt Zhou has gone back to get the fair scale, remember to use it." Du Xuan said to Liu Shi with a smile.

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Miss Xuan, don't worry."

Du Yongxing knew that she was trying to get angry on purpose, so he immediately said coldly, "Aren't you going to get out?"

Du Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go now."

She cheerfully said to Liu Shi and Du Yongfu, "Auntie, Uncle, I can't get my father's share, so I will leave it to you. Be careful. Only those left by Qi Yan's relatives have 20 Two."

After speaking, Du Xuan happily pulled Qi Yan's sleeve and left from everyone.

 Take the children out to ride the rocking car first, and they can't sleep because of the noise.Will come back and continue to update
