Chapter 48 Returning Home
Of the 80 wen of one tael of silver, 5 qian and 40 wen had to be handed over to Fang, and the rest was divided equally between Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao.
Tao Tao didn't bother to be polite with her brother and happily accepted it, saying, "Seventh Brother, I'll keep it for you. Don't forget to ask me when you need it!"
Several people laughed.
Shao Taotao curled her lips and said, "We have such a big harvest today, Dad will definitely ask Second Uncle and Third Uncle to send it to them! Alas."
Uncle Shao is easy to talk to about other things, but he is stubborn when it comes to the idea that "eldest brother is like a father". After so many years, the people in the first house have become numb as they are powerless to resist.
The reason why the rule that half of the money earned by each person in the first house is personal property and only the other half needs to be handed over to the public is also established by Fang, in order to keep some money.
As a father, Uncle Shao naturally would not treat his children as inferiors. As a mother, Fang was considerate of her children, and he did not object to this approach.
Shao's second uncle and third uncle did gossip, saying things like "spoiling the children and grandchildren", "it's easy to learn bad things when you have money in your hands", "why do this when you haven't divided the family", etc., but Fang was firm in her attitude and the matter was left unresolved.
They had already become numb, but now that Qiao Xuan had arrived, she had defeated the second and third rooms, which inevitably aroused the thoughts of Shao Xiaoqi, Shao Taotao and others.
In fact, Qiao Xuan's arrival was just an opportunity. The second and third rooms were always so excessive. Over time, the resentment accumulated had become deep and would explode sooner or later.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "That's easy. We can just not take out everything and let them see it. How would they know how much we have gained?"
Shao Taotao couldn't help but said, "Fifth sister-in-law, you don't know that Second Aunt and Third Aunt will rummage through our things."
Qiao Xuan's eyes were slightly cold: "Then don't let them turn over. This kind of bad habit can't be tolerated!"
Shao Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Fifth sister-in-law is right!"
So, out of thirteen pheasants and six hares, only two pheasants and one hare were said to have been hunted.
When I got home, I immediately hid the others.
If there is any problem in the village, how can it be hidden from others?
Everyone knew that Shao Xiaoqi often liked to go into the mountains to get some wild game. Niu and Ma had always tasted the sweetness, and they would subconsciously inquire about Shao Xiaoqi's daily whereabouts.
As long as Shao Xiaoqi goes into the mountains, they will definitely come over for a visit when he comes back.
Today is certainly no exception.
Of course they had to have a share of two pheasants and a hare.
"Xiao Qi has made a good harvest today!"
"Hey, this pheasant is quite fat! This hare is not bad either!"
Qiao Xuan curled her lips. If she were to say, she would not give these greedy guys a single penny. Unfortunately, the eldest wife of the Shao family could not do such a thing.
Always take your time in everything.
Qiao Xuan grabbed the fatter pheasant and said with a smile, "Xiao Qi has worked hard today, so we will keep this pheasant for dinner. We also have a pheasant and a rabbit. Second and third aunts can share them."
A smile flashed across Shao Yunduan's eyes. His wife was so mean and mean.
The one who did the hard work was Shao Xiaoqi, and he felt justified in keeping a fat pheasant for himself.
After all, the bigger and meatier rabbits have been given up, right?
Niu and Ma were stunned, and then reached out to catch the rabbit at the same time.
"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing? I got it first!"
