Chapter 258 This little sister-in-law can earn too much
Mrs. Xu Zhang sighed, the whole family was working together to bully her old daughter, who had such a good temper.
If it weren't for Xu Laosi's safety, no one who wanted to take money from her old daughter would be allowed to do so.
She would risk her life to keep money safe for her generous old daughter.
But, the fourth child...
Damn it, you evildoer Xu Laosi!
Just thinking about it makes my heart hurt.
"Jiaojiao sells loquat wine cheaply, one tael for ten jins, which is more than 700 jins in total. It cost more than 70 taels in total. There is also one tael and a half taels that Jiaojiao often gets from the Huichun Hall.
The total is ninety taels..."
Ninety taels!!
Everyone's jaw dropped in astonishment.
Their old daughter, an old girl, a country girl, can make money like this!
Especially Mrs. Yao, she didn't know what it was like. This sister-in-law was so good at making money. This was because the loquat wine was sold so cheaply. If she told her son, she could sell it for ten pounds and fifty taels of silver.
It’s more than three hundred taels!
Not only could he make wine and sell it, but he would go to Huichun Hall every now and then to get acupuncture and other things, just like playing, and he had earned twenty taels of silver in these few months.
It is not easy for them to earn money in the county town. She works in other workshops in the county town, or cooks meals for the young masters and ladies of the host family, and she earns less than one tael of silver a month.
This sister-in-law earns so much...
She is also generous. As soon as Xu Youde opens his mouth, she borrows...
Those valuable goods are goods, not cash. Now they are borrowing real money, which is different.
If it were her, she would never be able to do it. She couldn't make money easily, and she couldn't borrow a hundred taels of silver just by asking...
Xu Darong looked calm on the surface, but actually he was filled with surprise and excitement in his heart.
Xu Youde said excitedly, "Okay, that's a lot worse. Old lady, I'll take a look at the seafood and other supplements in that box and sell them. If we scrape them together, maybe we can have them all. Jiaojiao, okay
My daughter, you are truly the lucky star of our family!!"
Mrs. Xu Zhang was extremely dissatisfied.
Is Xu Youde praising Xu Jiaojiao because he has something to do? I haven't seen him praise him usually?
Also, luckily she didn't tell Xu Youde about the gold bracelet Xu Jiaojiao gave her. She still locked the gold bracelet under the box and no one saw it. Otherwise, Xu Youde would probably let her go first.
She pawned the gold bracelet!
"Our family is very charming, are you blind? Only now can you see it? You Xu Youde has given birth to so many sons, which one is of no use at all? He either wants to pick on you at home every day, or he causes trouble outside, waiting for you to wipe him out.
Ass, cleaning up the mess is not as good as our Jiaojiao's fingers."
Xu Youde felt guilty because he didn't reply even when he was scolded.
As long as Mrs. Xu Zhang comes out with money, the scolding will be worth it.
Xu Youde smoked the cigarette bag and said, "Yes, old lady, I was blind before. Now let's not talk about it. Business is more important."
Mrs. Xu Zhang calmed down a bit.
Xu Youde continued, "It's not easy for Da Rong to go to Bingyang City alone. The second brother should have gone there as well. We are outsiders. There are many people and strength, but the second brother is not in good health and can't travel far.
Let's do this, let Erlang follow. Erlang is also fifteen years old. He is tall and strong, and he is barely half an adult. Boss, you are a scholar. If you have any hard work on the road, you can let Erlang help you..."
Xu Laoer hurriedly expressed his position, "Okay, fine, listen to dad, let Erlang go and rescue the fourth brother on my behalf. I have done my best."
If he hadn't been so weak, he would have definitely gone.
Xu Darong said, "Father, second brother, the fourth brother must know your thoughts. It's just that Erlang has never traveled far and is young, so I don't need him to go with him. I can just take Dalang there. Dalang is 17 years old."
He is a few years older than Erlang, so just let Dalang go."
Xu Laoer immediately objected, "That's not possible. If Da Lang goes, Da Lang will go, and Er Lang will go too. How can he not do his part in his fourth uncle's affairs? I can't afford the money, and I don't have the manpower.
We must do our best. Erlang is younger, but not shorter than Dalang. He has a lot of strength and is used to doing menial and dirty work, so let him do it."
With such persistence, Xu Darong said nothing.
Just when I thought everything had been discussed, at the end of the day, Mrs. Xu Zhang suddenly said, "Let's see, the fourth child's evil is my mother's fault. I will go and bring him back in person. I will go with the boss and the others. Old man, you just stay."
During the autumn harvest at home, I went to beg for mercy from the government officials. We were poor and poor, so I asked them to take less money. Anyway, I didn’t want to lose face, so I knelt down in front of them and begged them. They
If you want more, just force my old lady to death, and I won’t even take my life, so I’ll risk my life..."
Xu Darong and Yao looked at each other.
His eyes were full of surprise and surprise.
Xu Darong said quickly, "Mom, Bingyang City is too far away, and you are old and have never been far away. The bumpy journey is quite uncomfortable. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on, so you should wait for the news at home. I will definitely send you
Fourth brother brings it back."
Xu Jiaojiao noticed the details of how Xu Darong and Yao were looking at each other. Xu Zhang was going to follow them. What were they looking at?
Especially Yao, there is always a feeling of guilt hidden in his eyes.
What are they guilty of?
Did they make too much money from selling those boxes?
Xu Zhang ignored the objection and said in a cold voice, "No, I won't be in the way. Jiaojiao will come with me. With Jiaojiao here, my health will be fine. I am an old man. I died on the road for the sake of my fourth child."
It was also his fault, I asked him not to dare to do anything heartless in the future."
Xu Jiaojiao immediately responded and said smoothly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I've never been to Bingyang City, so I'll go out with my elder brother to gain some experience."
Mother and daughter have a rare understanding of each other.
The mother and daughter sang together, surprising everyone.
Xu Darong looked at Xu Youde helplessly, "Dad, please advise Mom, the journey is too far, the temperature in Bingyang City is low, and it is covered with ice and snow all year round. It is very common for wild dogs and cats to freeze to death, and even people freeze to death."
Not a few, dad..."
Xu Youde pondered for a moment and said, "Old lady, you are not going. If you are worried about the boss going alone, then let Jiaojiao go with him. I see that Jiaojiao is able to do what we do, so it is a good idea to go on a long trip with his elder brother.
It's not impossible. The two of them, brother and sister, also have someone to keep them company along the way, to take care of them..."
Xu Zhang finally gave Xu Youde some face and stopped insisting.
Xu Darong still has some hard feelings here.
"Dad, Mom, it's not that I don't want my little girl to go with me, it's just that my little girl comes from a girl's family and is still an unmarried little girl. It's not good for her to show her face outside. She's afraid of people gossiping. The girl's family's reputation is very important.
