However, my father made this decision and it was also a good start. At least he would not be foolish and would just keep bullying the people in the big room.

Xi Feng's eyes rolled and said, "My grandma, is there any income from Shuishi last year? Can you give me thirty taels of silver?"

"What do you want so much silver?" Ruan was shocked. "There are some silvers left, but you have to keep them for later use. Your elder brother is in poor health. That hundred taels of silver cannot be moved. The remaining one is only thirty taels of silver, which is for the family to chew for a year."

This year, only three months later, there are only thirty taels of silver left... The income from paddy fields still needs to be collected in the second half of the year. How can this little silver be enough for more than half a year?

Xi Feng remembered the red gold jewelry that Ah Niang bought for her... She suddenly had a headache.

There are not many red gold jewelry, there are only two pieces in total, a golden hairpin and a gold bracelet, which is heavy. It costs sixty taels of silver. It is no wonder... It has cost more than half of the silver at the beginning of this year.

When Xi Tongfang heard this, he was a little anxious, "Thirty taels, there are still more than half a year, how can it be enough?"

Ruan sighed, "It's not enough, why not enough? Don't you know what you think? Master, you don't want to close the shop. OK, in the future, don't you think you can use the income collected from the farm to supplement the shop."

This time, the Ruan family was determined to no longer subsidize the two shops.

In fact, the coffin shop and incense shop are both old shops, and shopkeeper Sun has some tricks in doing business. Both shops are good business and can earn more than 300 taels of silver every year. However, the two aunts of Dafang and Xi family have to take away three or four hundred taels of silver every year. The amount of money they earn is not enough to subsidize them, and they have to pay dozens of taels of silver.

The business in the coffin shop used to make more money in a year, but now... I also have to pay hundreds of taels of silver in it every year.

Three adults in the forest village gathered around and hugged each other and were cut and sold by the people in the big house. Without large sandalwood and nanmu as coffin wood, the shop could only sell a type of fir coffin. The fir coffin is a coffin used by ordinary small families. The coffins used by rich people are all sandalwood or nanmu. A bit of sandalwood can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. Apart from the wages and material money, a bit of sandalwood can earn two or three hundred taels of silver.

A thicker fir coffin can only be sold for forty or fifty taels of silver. If you spend the wages and materials, you can only earn more than ten taels of silver. Compared with sandalwood coffins, you can't compare with it.

The coffin shop lost the sandalwood coffin and nanmu coffin to support the store, and the money earned was much less, and the business in the coffin shop suddenly became much worse. But in this way, some people went to the shop to take advantage of it.

Last year, Lao Anren from my aunt's house died. My aunt sent someone to take away a thick-wood cedar and some things for funerals. There were more than 60 taels of silver not given in total.

Two years ago, my aunt and her parents-in-law passed away, and they paid more than 100 taels of silver in the shop...

In short, the two shops did not make money, but they only made money. They did not have the value of the big house and the two aunts, so they would lose money.
