Sign in and get rich in farming

The jewelry and a large number of miscellaneous items that Yu Sanlang brought back were all rewards, or gifts, given to Yu Sanlang by the nobleman he followed, the current county magistrate Tan Bailu.

Yu Sanlang did not mention the specific details, or Yu Hongdou may have missed it, but judging from the conversation between Yu Sanlang and Old Man Yu, it should be related to Dongshan. Yu Hongdou guessed that it is very likely that her father really found the clue that the heroine gave to the hero, and thus won the appreciation of the nobleman.

Yu Hongdou glanced at Yu Silang who was sitting next to the old man. She didn't rush to get out of the way when she was caught by the other party. Instead, she smiled sweetly and apologized to the original author with a bit of embarrassment in her heart: "I'm sorry, she really didn't mean to ruin the plot. Anyway, the hero and heroine still have many opportunities and tribulations, so this time shouldn't be a big deal."

Yu Silang will take up his new post tomorrow, and at this moment he should still be only a ninth-rank official.

Yu Hongdou remembered that he seemed to be a captain of some kind, but she was not sure what his specific position was.

In romance dramas, the starting point is not important. The male protagonist, who comes from a grassroots background, always boasts about his achievements and gets promoted. By the end of the story, he has become a general.

At this moment, except for Yu Song who was working outside, and Liu who was sent back to her mother's home, all the members of the Yu family gathered together. One was because Yu Sanlang had brought back many gifts, and the other was there to see Yu Silang off. The old man decided to announce something at the dinner table.

"These were brought back by Sanlang and Silang. They said they were gifts from Grandpa. Every family has some. Your mother has divided them up. She will take them back to the house later."

Old Man Yu pointed at the things on the kang, looked around, and saw that the eldest son and his wife had wild looks in their eyes, the second son and his wife had happy expressions, the third son and his wife were very obedient and showed no emotion, and the fourth son looked helpless. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"We had decided before that we would split up the family when the fourth son got married, but it will take some time for the fourth son to get married. The second son's son, Li Zi, might want to marry before his fourth uncle, so the house won't be big enough for us to live in. I thought we should just split up the family now, and then ask the village to allocate a residential plot for you. You can move out after the house is built."

The old man was originally unwilling in his heart. He was alone and in the first half of his life he only felt a sense of home from the old shopkeeper. So after getting married and having children, he craves a noisy atmosphere more and more. Even though he had already agreed with the village chief before, he wanted to postpone it. But now it is different.

"I am alone. Although your mother has her own family, it is redundant. So our Yu family has been able to get to where it is today mostly because of your mother and I who have worked hard bit by bit. Our family now has only this yard, 18 acres of land and half a mountain. Mother, how much savings do we have?" The old man sighed when he said this, turned around and passed the words to his wife.

"Two hundred and fifty taels of silver in cash, and twenty-five strings of change." Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Li, glanced at her husband, and at her sons and their wives, and she paid special attention to her fourth son.

"I will live in the house with your mother. We will keep fifty taels of silver. The remaining two hundred taels of silver will be divided into four parts. The four of you will share one part equally. The remaining twenty-five taels of silver will be kept for the fourth son to marry. In the future, you can present gifts to us during festivals if you want. If you don't want to, it's okay. In the future, when we are old and sick and don't have enough money, you will have to share it equally."

"There are eighteen acres of land in the family. We will keep three acres, and the remaining fifteen acres and half a mountain are just right for the four of you to divide. If you want the mountain, the land will be less, and if you want the land, don't take the mountain." The old man was not afraid that his son would not have enough money. Most families in the village might not be able to scrape together a few taels of silver. In addition, he had turned a blind eye over the years, and each family had saved up some household items.

"Dad, I'm not at home often, so I'll leave my share of the land to you to manage. The profit from it can be considered my filial piety and a token of my gratitude for your trouble!" Yu Silang felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help feeling guilty because he caused the family to split up as soon as he came back.

"Dad, I will need to travel back and forth between the city and the village in the future, so I'll just take the three acres of land and half of the mountain." Yu Sanlang also stated that he would definitely not stay in the village in the future, but he still had to take what he deserved.

"Okay, do the eldest and second oldest have any objections?" Although Grandpa Yu was asking, his tone had actually decided. If the property was divided this way, both the eldest and second oldest would not lose out, after all, the children of both families had grown up.

Boss Yu secretly glanced at his father, shook off the hand that was pinching him from behind, and nodded to his father: "Dad, I have no objection."

Since Boss Yu said so, Second Boss Yu had no objection at all.

Because they were still eating and living at home before moving out, the food, chickens, ducks and other things were not divided for the time being. Each branch of the Yu family took the silver and the gifts brought by Yu Sanlang and returned to their own rooms with different expressions of joy or indignation.

Yu Silang didn't leave. He looked outside the door, turned around and closed the door, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to his parents.

"Dad, Mom, my third brother and I have done a great job this time. We caught a few notorious bandits. This is a reward from the county. My third brother said that the division of the family was caused by his family. He hurt you and Mom's feelings. He felt very guilty and asked me to take out half of the silver and leave it to you two. I just hope that you two can have enough money and feel confident."

"I've been away from home for many years and haven't been able to fulfill my filial duties. I'm sorry to have made my parents worry. The other half of the silver will be my gift to you on your birthdays over the years. I hope you will accept it." When Yu Silang heard his third brother say that the money was for his parents, he felt both admiration and guilt. In fact, he had always felt that his third brother's family was going a little too far.

Old Man Yu didn't say anything for a long time, and the old lady's tears fell. She had raised four sons and married them to wives. It was like she was spending all her time on them. Now that her sons had grown up, it was time for them to take care of their own families. The two of them were useless. It would be good if they died peacefully in the future. If they were really ill for a few years, no one knew what would happen to them in the end.

"Okay, old lady, why are you crying? We will accept our sons' filial piety. Even if they can't take care of us in the future, we have the money and can buy a few people to serve us." Old Man Yu comforted his wife and took the banknote and looked at it. His hands trembled.

It was actually five hundred taels, more than the money the old couple had earned in their entire lives. Old Man Yu thought, no wonder Sanlang said that he had enough money and was confident, money is the courage of a hero, and what he said just now was just to bluff his wife, but with these five hundred taels, it is reality.

Li was startled when she saw the old man shiver, and she looked over. The old lady, who didn't know many words but knew money, also shivered.

It is said that money is a moving thing, but when this banknote came to them, the sadness of the old couple's separation, the grief of their children's estrangement, and the anxiety about the future were all gone in an instant.

Yu Hongdou didn't know that her father had given out more than 1 taels of silver at once. She was secretly thinking in her heart whether she should spend a little more to get 2 taels of Zhang San's private money, or to search for the stolen goods of the gambler Lai Mazi...
