Chapter 2546 How can she take the Golden Peanut as her own?
Jin Sanniang hesitated a little.
She could see that the relationship between the eldest daughter and the second daughter was not very good before. After today, it seemed to be even worse, and they were even a bit tit-for-tat.
She definitely didn't want to give the golden peanuts that Erya brought out to Daya. What's more, Daya also asked for four golden peanuts, which was eighty taels of silver.
But Da Ya is right. She is now attracted by Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi's family is rich. If she doesn't have a dowry, even if she gets married, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family.
Erya put the two golden peanuts that her mother had given her back into her mother's hands: "These are my golden peanuts. I took them out to buy food for my mother to survive the famine years, not for anyone's dowry."
.
Moreover, this year there has been a severe drought, and someone must be selling their land to survive the famine. Let’s use these golden peanuts to buy more than ten acres of land, so we won’t have to worry about running out of food in the future.”
Jin Sanniang's eyes also brightened: Eighteen golden peanuts, exchanging one for silver to buy food, would be enough for them to survive the famine years. The remaining seventeen golden peanuts were worth three hundred and forty taels of silver.
If you come to buy land, if you can buy thirty-four acres of high-quality land in normal times.
But this year is a year of severe drought. Eight taels of silver or even less can buy one acre of land, which can buy 40 acres of top-quality farmland.
"Okay, this year is an opportunity to buy a field. Let's buy the field. When the time comes when we really need a dowry, my mother will use the field as a dowry for you."
Da Ya was anxious. Qi Shaodong was from the town, so she didn't want fields for dowry. Moreover, Master Qi just wanted to take her as his concubine, so naturally he would have the money in his own hands.
"Mom, this is not good. If we buy land during a famine year, people will say that we are taking advantage of others. It is better to keep some gold with us."
Just as Erya was about to refute, Jin Sanniang spoke up: "This is not about taking advantage of others' danger, but about different prices in different years. When there is a major disaster every year, those who have land sell their fields, and those who don't have land sell their children. If we don't buy, others will.
It still has to be sold, and maybe someone from outside will get it cheaper. When others are selling their fields to buy grain to save their lives, if you buy someone else’s fields, you might be able to save someone else’s life.
As long as we pay a slightly higher price than the people who come from outside to buy the land, they will be very grateful. Besides, no one in our family can farm yet. Even if we buy the land, we still have to let the original owner farm it, so we will only charge some rent.
.In this way, we don’t have to make other people’s lives difficult just because we bought their land.”
Da Ya saw that her mother was confident and saw her mother put away all the golden peanuts. She was very anxious. How could she take the golden peanuts as her own?
The jade pendant has been taken away by Gu Dongxing. She must get this golden peanut no matter what.
She suddenly thought of something: "Erya, didn't you say that when you went to Gu's house, Uncle Gu gave you a gift, Aunt Gu and Grandma Gu gave you the golden peanuts, and what about Grandpa Gu, he also gave you a gift, right?
?”
Erya said that deliberately to pave the way for bringing out good things in the future, instead of giving them as a dowry for Daya now.
She looked at Jin Sanniang: "Mom, do you also think I should take out the gift Grandpa Gu gave me?"
"No need." Jin Sanniang said hurriedly: "That's your thing. You have already given me so many golden peanuts, worth three hundred and sixty taels of silver, to my mother. Keep your other things well."
