"How many?!"

"Five hundred and thirty taels!"

Mother Wen unconsciously raised her voice. After reacting, she immediately covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Is it really five hundred and thirty taels?"

Father Wen chuckled and took out the five banknotes and heavy silver in his wallet: "Look."

"When I went to sell medicine, I happened to meet someone other than a senior official buying medicine at the drug store. They insisted on buying some century-old ginseng to replenish the body. The drug store didn't have it, but I did. I didn't expect that the biggest ginseng was a hundred years old."

"In the past few years, that family only bought two hundred and fifty taels. I sold this one for a full three hundred taels. Plus the others were sold separately, and I got another two hundred and thirty taels in total."

"Those rich people are the rarest of these things. Drug stores are also short of ginseng, so I don't have to worry about selling it. If I can find it again in the future, I will definitely raise the price!"

Father Wen said nonchalantly, feeling happy and proud.

If he knew what Gao Yuanwai's budget for century-old ginseng was, he would probably cry on the spot.

"How can I dig up so many ginseng for you?" Mother Wen smiled and rolled her eyes at him. She happily took her purse and went back to the house. She hid it in several places in a row and felt it was unreliable.

After I finally found a hidden place, I started to worry about this and that again, and I would go back to my room from time to time to see if I had lost anything.

Seeing Wen's mother picking vegetables outside but still looking into the back room from time to time, Wen Shao couldn't help but feel a little funny.

I hope they can stay happy after knowing the price of ginseng in the future.

However, Wen Shao didn't expect them not to be cheated. After all, he was just an honest farmer. If he was that smart, he wouldn't have been trained by the Wen family for so many years. It's not easy for him to come forward to sell now. This result is already very good.

More than five hundred taels is enough to change this poor family.

They are really developed now and no longer have to live the hard life they had before.

They are getting better and better, but things are going crazy over there in the old house.

The absence of four people in the family is by no means as simple as the loss of four pairs of chopsticks. They ate less and worked more at home. After they left, all the work at home was put on hold.

It’s still the slack time for farming, and it will be spring next year, so I don’t know what will happen.

The work at home cannot be done without someone, but the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. The family worked hard for a long time before they finally continued to live in an orderly manner, but what they were thinking in their hearts was unknown.

After a few days, Fubao's female teacher finally invited him, but she couldn't calm down day by day and didn't know if it would be useful.

Grandpa Wen couldn't help but get worried. The ladies he saw on the street that day were not like this. If Fubao was like this, could he really become a queen in the future?

After Fubao went to school, Wen Shao also took advantage of the opportunity to put forward his own ideas.

"Are you going to school?"

Wen Shao corrected: "There is also a sister, but the school is all for men. It will be inconvenient for my sister to go there. Why not just hire a female teacher like Fubao."

Wen Daya was stunned for a moment: "Can I?"

Father Wen and Mother Wen looked at each other and stopped what they were doing.

Their thinking has long been ingrained. Even if they have extra money in their hands now, they only want to save it so that they will not go hungry even if the harvest in the fields is not good. How can they think of changing it?

Wen's mother hesitated, but the more Wen's father thought about it, the more feasible it became.

It is said that everything is inferior but education is good. Now that they have money, why not fight for a future for their children. Even if they can only take the exam to be a child in their whole life, it is better than working in the field all day long.

Father Wen quickly took Mother Wen to discuss the matter.

"Master, are you serious? Have you decided?"

"It's a great honor to have a scholar in your family!" Father Wen said excitedly.

"But... what if you can't learn? Shao'er is twelve years old now, and it's too late for enlightenment. Da Ya is a girl, so there is no need to study. Isn't this a waste of money?" Mother Wen was a little worried.

Father Wen said cheerfully: "It's not too late, it's not too late. Wasn't it delayed in the past few years? There are many people in their thirties and forties who are still taking the Tongsheng test. It's too late for enlightenment now, and it will be even later for enlightenment in the future."

It sounds like this is indeed the case. Mother Wen nodded: "What about Da Ya?"

"That girl Fu Bao can hire a female gentleman, why can't we Da Ya? How much harm has Da Ya suffered from Fu Bao? Doesn't she deserve the same treatment as her?"

It's not that Wen's father has a high level of ideological consciousness, it's just that he now has money and the conditions to give his two children better conditions. Why not? Are they really allowed to inherit the two acres of land at home?

Although he also felt that it was useless for women to study, because of his experience of being ignored by his parents when he was a child, he tried his best to give equal treatment to his children, whether they were boys or girls.

In this way, the matter of Wen Shao and Wen Daya's studies was settled, and Wen's father and Wen's mother's original plan to live a low-key life was shattered.

The Wen family is so tight that they can barely find a female teacher for Fu Bao. The family is stretched thin.

Wen Laoer immediately took out the money for his two children to study. Where did he get the money?

Especially the Wen family, they can't help but wonder how much private money he has hidden before!

No, Wen Lao Er is also a member of the Wen family, and his money is the Wen family's money. If Fubao hires a female gentleman, he must contribute.

Father Wen and Mother Wen are not that stupid. Seeing that life is getting better, they naturally don't want to be sucked by them anymore.

It's true that a family helps each other, but it doesn't matter what life they lived before. The family has been divided, and everyone is just a relative. Fu Bao was not born by them, so why should they pay?

No matter how much trouble the two old men made, the couple insisted on giving them only the filial piety food they had agreed upon.

As for more, don’t even think about it.

"You must have hidden the money secretly. The money you earned before we separated belongs to the middle-aged man! No, you must hand over the money today." Grandma Wen shouted.

Father Wen smiled sarcastically: "Mom, do you think I can still hide my private money at home? Do I dare?"

When I was a child, I went shopping once. The younger brother smelled the aroma of meat buns and clamored to eat them. His parents bought them for both the older brother and younger brother, but they said to him lightly: "Don't eat them. It's a waste of money."

But he is also greedy and wants to eat.

But his parents didn't buy it for him, so he didn't dare to make a fuss, so he could only sneak to the dock to move things for others when he had time. The boss saw that he was pitiful and gave him a few coins away.

He was so happy at the time that he finally bought a meat bun with a copper plate. He still remembered the taste of the bun, which was the most delicious thing he had eaten in more than ten years.

After he returned, his younger brother smelled the residual smell on his body and immediately told his parents. When questioned by his parents, he couldn't help but tell the truth.

The result was a good beating.

"You learned to hide your private property at a young age, right? Let me tell you, you were born to me, and every penny you earn should be given to me!" Mother Wen said as she beat him, and finally plundered the last bit of money from him. Two copper plates.
