Just look at that expression, it hurts!
Liu Shulin stared at him with a serious expression and said, "Mom is thinking about you. You run out every day, but you don't make any money and come back with injuries. What's the point?"
"As for your current performance, I admit that it is much better than before, but that doesn't mean you can make money!"
"Sixty-six taels, that's just the betrothal gift! Besides the betrothal gift, there are other expenses! All these expenses, added together, must be at least seventy taels, right?"
"After all this time, how much have you earned?"
"Nine taels?"
"That's still sixty-one taels short!"
"As for how I earned these nine taels, you should have an idea in your mind!"
"Luck is not always easy to find!"
"You can see it now. I got lucky twice, but what happened after that? Where did all the luck go? It's gone, right? So, relying on luck is unreliable!"
"I'll give you the remaining sixty or so taels to earn. I'm afraid it will take you several years to earn them!"
"Do you think this money is really that easy to earn?"
"Do you know how many years it would take the average person to earn that amount?"
"Most people in the village only earn two or three taels of silver after a year of hard work. Hunters like Zou Guandong should earn more, but because he doesn't own land, he has to pay more taxes. So, after deducting various expenses, there's not much left at the end of the year."
"At this rate, it would take the average person more than twenty years to earn sixty or seventy taels!"
"I suppose you're luckier than most people, so even if you shorten it by half, it'll still take ten years!"
“Even if we shorten it by half, it will still take five years!”
"Well, even if you can earn this much in five years, do you think Yuan Xiao'e can wait that long?"
"Can I?"
Faced with his mother's soul-searching, Cai Junze remained silent.
He has been looking for construction jobs outside recently and has contacted many relevant personnel. After asking, he learned that the wages for most construction jobs are very low and you won’t earn much money after working for a year - of course, this is for him.
After all, less than twenty taels of silver a year is considered too little for him!
He wanted to make money quickly, so he had to make at least twenty taels a year, right?
In this way, it would only take two or three years to earn enough money to marry Yuan Xiao'e!
Of course, the shorter this time is, the better!
As a result, after looking for so many fortifications, none of them could meet his needs!
Oh, yes, yes...
The problem is, even if there are some, he doesn’t dare to answer them!
For example, someone saw him looking for a job and knew he needed money, so they found him and asked him to do something that violated the law and might even result in death. The reward was indeed very high, but would he dare to accept it?
"Mom, is it because you saw that I might not be able to earn this money, and even if I did, it would take a lot of time, Xiao E wouldn't be able to wait, and our marriage would ultimately be difficult to succeed, that you agreed to this plan?"
There was a hint of questioning in Cai Junze's words.
