The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

Zhou Shuren sat up and watched Bamboo Orchid in the room. He pulled out the adobe from the corner of the kang and took out a cloth bag, and then took out a bag from the adobe on the wall. There are also on the ground and on the beams. , The whole house can't be seen, there are pits everywhere, and there are not many holes in the mouse hole to hide money.

After Zhulan searched all over, she was panting and gasping for breath. Her body was really weak. No wonder she stopped working in the beginning of the year. After a while, her back was soaking wet, and her legs were suddenly soft. , I sat on the kang for a while before I relaxed.

Zhou Shuren's tone was worried. He remembered that his wife's body was really bad, "Is it alright."

Zhulan waved her hand, "It's alright, there's still a clay pot in this room. I can't come out. It's full of copper coins. I counted a bunch of them, and there were five taels. Everything else was pulled out."

While talking, he got on the kang with his slippers. Looking at the pile of cloth bags, he regained his strength.

Zhou Shuren's gaze was also above, "These are all?"

"Well, these are all cash in the family. There was chaos at the end of the dynasty, and chaos at the beginning of the establishment. The owner of this body may not look like he has no great wisdom, but he is very cautious. There are no banknotes at home. They are all cash and money."

Zhou Shuren thought that he was not smart, he just dug a hole in one room, and then he was stunned when he caught on to the point, "What do you mean, the money in this family is enough money?"

Yo, my family really has a lot of money. As far as I can remember, there are no one tael, five taels, or ten taels of small-denominated banknotes. The minimum amount is fifty taels, which are all large.

In Yuan Shi's memory, when the dynasty was established, he took out a sum of money to build a house and purchased land. The family had 20 acres of small land, 10 acres of paddy fields, and 10 acres of dry fields.

At the beginning of the later dynasty, the tax was exempted for three years, and life was a little better, but there were many children in the family, and the cost of studying was high. In addition to marrying a daughter-in-law, I thought in my mind that the weather has been good for the past few years. A dozen or two are good.

But now, listening to Zhulan's meaning, and looking at these cloth bags and money boxes, I have to think of the original mother, how capable!

Anyway, I don't think the original daughter-in-law has this ability.

Zhulan counted the cloth bags, there were eight in total, first opened the money box, and poured out all the contents of the money box, "Here is the land deed for twenty acres of land, the house deed, fifteen taels of silver and fifteen taels of copper. One thousand three hundred and five, I still have more than one or two silver coins left, and that's all I have in the money box."

Zhou Shuren nodded, the money in the money box was similar to the original owner's estimate, and looked at the cloth bag, "What about these?"

Zhulan put the money box back and began to unpack the cloth bag. The cloth bags are all three colors, and there are traces of being bitten. This is to attract mice, but she is not afraid of biting, but she is also reluctant. I've never seen a mouse, she wouldn't touch it if it wasn't for the money to support her.

The bamboo orchid was dismantled, and the two of them could see clearly. There were 10 taels of silver in each of the gray cloth bags. There were three gray cloth bags in total, which was thirty taels. There were two red cloth bags, each of which was blinded. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren's eyes, oh hey, gold, no one buys more than a dozen gold ingots to put together in modern times. There are five taels of gold in each bag, which is 10 taels of gold.

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver were converted into one hundred taels of silver.

Zhulan knew that she was stable. These were the five largest cloth bags, and they had to be made of adobe. The remaining three were small. Two were taken from the beams of the house, and the other was on the ground. made out.

Zhou Shuren looked at the remaining three cloth bags with anticipation. Zhu Lan opened them one by one. One cloth bag contained two pairs of silver bracelets, a few pairs of silver earrings, and a few silver hairpins. In the other cloth bag was a pair of gold bracelets. The dragon and phoenix bracelet, two rings, a few small gold earrings, and a jade pendant in the last bag, the jade pendant is the best mutton fat jade.
