Farmer’s Blessed Girl

As soon as Feng mentioned that she could exchange silk and satin for tea, she brought the four bolts of silk and satin from her room over after dinner.

She asked Zhou Zhoulang, "Does the money earned from the tea in exchange for silk and satin belong to the public or to us?"

Zhou Zhoulang looked at his parents.

Qian Shi said: "Let Ertou keep the account. According to the old practice, 30% of the catties of tea leaves will be returned to the public, and the rest will be your own."

As soon as Feng Shi became happy, she urged her son, "Second head, remember quickly."

Zhou Liwei took a pen and wrote down the colors of the silk and silk that his mother brought, and then wrote his name on the front.

Feng took a look. Although she didn't know many characters, she still remembered Sanya's name. She pointed to a line and asked, "Why did you remember it separately?"

Zhou Liwei said: "Isn't this the third sister's satin? The second sister and I chose it for the third sister."

Feng Shi: "...we are a family, how can we remember them separately, and forget them all under your father's name."

Zhou Liwei said: "Write it down, and change the fee paper."

Old Zhou Tou, who didn't care about their disputes, immediately said: "Change what, since it's already written down, let's do it."

When Feng Shi heard this, he dared not speak immediately.

The other rooms immediately brought silks and satins to write down, and even the big girl brought her two bolts of colorful silks.

Among all the cloths, these two of hers were the most valuable.

Zhou Liwei knew it was a tribute, so he asked her in a low voice, "Sister, are you really changing it?"

Xiaoqian also advised her, "Let's keep it as a dowry."

The big girl shook her head, "This silk is so beautiful. I will work in the store in the future, and I don't know how to wear it. It's better to exchange tea leaves for money, and the money will be real."

Old Zhou Tou praised: "That's right. In this world, apart from food, only money is the most real thing. When you go to Guan's house, you have to tell my uncle that. It's best that you keep his money so that he doesn't have money to spend." You don’t know how to control sales, anyway, you are in charge of his food and clothing, and you should be in charge of money.”

Little Qian: ...

She handed the colored silk to the second head to remember, pulled the eldest girl out, and told her quietly: "Don't listen to your grandfather, you just married and don't know your uncle well, so you can't suddenly mention money. "

She said: "Your family is not divided, and your grandfather is still the head of the family. Your in-laws probably don't have much spare money. Anyway, you all belong to the family for food and clothing. You just need to take care of your own little family. The only thing is, your dowry You have to hold it yourself, and you have to know how much money you have.”

Man Bao sat on a small stool beside her and listened to her sister-in-law teaching her how to get along with her in-laws in a low voice. As soon as Xiao Qian lowered her head, she saw Man Bao holding her face and looking at her seriously. It’s not too late, it’s time to learn these too.

Just drag her over to listen together.

"Remember, your private money can only be used on your young couple. For example, uncle buys books, pens, ink and paper. You can give some, but if your parents-in-law have other uses, you can't give it."

Xiaoqian said in a low voice: "If their family asks you for money for other uses, you come back and tell me, let us talk to them here, don't refuse yourself, you understand?"

Da Ya didn't expect to be married, but she has so much knowledge just by spending money, she couldn't help feeling anxious for a moment, "Mother, didn't you say that the Guan family is similar to ours, and they are also very harmonious, why..."

Xiaoqian nodded her forehead, but there were so many people in the yard at the moment, she couldn't go into details about some things, so she could only say: "Mother will go to your house to look for you later, Man Bao, you go too, sister-in-law I have something to teach you."

"Auntie, I have memorized all the tricks, do you think there is no problem?"

Xiaoqian squeezed in and had a look, the silks and satins that Manbao gave them were all in different colors, so it was easy to record and they would never be confused.

Afterwards, the cloth was exchanged for tea leaves, and there must be differences among them, but whoever exchanged the cloth for how many catties of tea and the quality of tea, just write it down later, and then transport it to the capital for sale, and then remove the cost of their journey That's the profit.

Even Mrs. Qian brought out the silk from her house to write it down. Obviously, they didn't want to use this cloth to make clothes.

Looking at it, Man Bao always felt that something was wrong. She brought the cloth back from the capital all the way to make clothes for them. How did it all turn into money in the end?

Perhaps knowing her depression, Mrs. Qian touched her head with her hand and said with a smile, "We can't wear silk clothes yet, and they are too easy to scratch when we go to the ground. Cotton and linen are not bad."

Man Bao scratched his head and asked, "Then I will give you cotton cloth in the future?"

Old Zhou Tou immediately said: "No, we will buy the cotton cloth ourselves, you should give us silk and satin."

Man Bao: ...

Seeing that everyone had written it down, Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, everyone pack up and go to rest. The Guan family should come to give the betrothal gifts tomorrow, and the family will start preparing ingredients."

Only then did the old Zhou remember, "By the way, where is our new cow? Boss, you should be more vigilant at night, and don't let the bulls in the cowshed fight with it. It still has a calf in its belly."

Zhou Dalang agrees.

As soon as everyone dispersed, Little Qian pulled Man Bao and Da Ya back to have a private conversation, and San Ya was also dragged by her mother to talk, and Er Tou didn't escape, and was also dragged into the house.

Man Bao estimated that the second sister-in-law would have to ask the second wife for private money to collect, but the second sister-in-law might not be able to ask anything.

Xiaoqian closed the door, because Manbao was still young, she only let her listen in, but pulled the eldest girl to raise her face, "Mother told you, when you go to Guan's house, you have to work hard and work hard, so that your mother-in-law can like you, you know ?"

Big Ya nodded, this is what Little Qian often said.

"But you can't work blindly. You can't take care of things that you shouldn't take care of. At home, you just clean up the yard, help in the kitchen and so on. When you go to the field, you can do whatever your in-laws ask you to do. It's not your job." Don't stretch out your hands indiscriminately, you know?"

Da Ya continued to nod.

Seeing that she was obedient, Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, and began to speak more deeply, "The family has accompanied you with a shop, and the Guan family bought you a small house in the county town for the couple. He still has a younger brother, a cousin, and it is too difficult to close the house with a bowl of water, so you have to know that this house belongs to your husband and wife, not your husband and wife."

Da Ya seems to understand, "It is for us to live, but it is still in the public?"

Little Qian nodded, "That's right."

"You also know the income of the shop. Even if you remove the 30% for the public, the remaining 70% is still a lot for our mother and two. The money is all earned by you, so you have to collect it yourself, but you If you work in the shop, you can't take care of the people in Dali Village and the work in the fields, so you have to find supplements from other places, such as buying paper, books, pens and ink for Guan Yong."

see you tomorrow
