The Cheng family's conditions are considered good in Xinghua Village.
The family had fifty acres of land, forty of which they rented out to others for farming, and Cheng Shun and his wife tended ten acres themselves.
Gu Xuelan worked at Jinxiu Zhuang and earned five taels of silver a month.
Even though it's only five taels, it's enough to cover the annual expenses of many large families.
The Cheng family has a lot of expenses. They have two children who are studying, and there are Cheng Wen and Cheng Yue at home, two people who eat a lot but do nothing.
Especially studying, which costs a lot, and Cheng Jinyan is a good student. The teachers in the school said that he has a good chance of passing the examination and becoming a scholar in the second half of this year, so she still has some money saved for Cheng Jinyan's studies.
Cheng Wu only earned two taels of silver a month while working in the yamen, which was enough for himself and his children, and he didn't save much money.
After hearing this, Cheng Yue roughly understood the Cheng family's financial situation. At this point, there was no need for her sister-in-law to lie to her. Besides, her sister-in-law was not that kind of person.
"Okay, sister-in-law, go write the settlement agreement and write an IOU."
Cheng Yue nodded.
"IOU?"
Gu Xuelan was stunned.
"Yes. Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have a way to make him agree to accept our IOU. Let's write it for a year!"
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said.
This was also the conclusion she simply drew from Gu Xuelan and Cheng Wu's monthly wages and the prices of rice, meat and vegetables in Pang Ya's mind.
She is confident that she can earn that much money in a year.
This family is not a bad person. She took advantage of their daughter's body, so she should pay something for it.
As for family affection, she doesn't have that strong of it at the moment.
A year is also the time she gives herself.
She will stay in the Cheng family for a year. If the people in the Cheng family are nice and can be treated as family, she will naturally treat them all as family.
If she felt uncomfortable anywhere, she would not feel guilty about leaving the Cheng family.
"Ayue, this won't work! How can it be possible in a year? We might be able to raise five hundred taels of silver by selling our belongings, but these are all accumulated by our ancestors for generations, and it took so much time."
Gu Xuelan said.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Let's do this!"
Cheng Yue said.
"No, I need to discuss this with Dad. How can I possibly pay back five hundred taels in a year?"
Gu Xuelan said firmly.
“Mmmmm…”
At this time, Feng Dongjia on the bed woke up and made a grunting sound.
Cheng Yue didn't argue with Gu Xuelan anymore. She stepped forward and said, "I told you to speak, but you're not allowed to shout for help. Otherwise, I'll really smash your eggs!"
When threatening a man, don't say "I will kill you" or something like that. Some may be scared, while others may simply think you don't dare to do it.
But speaking of broken eggs!
After seeing what happened just now when Gu Xuelan poked him with the feather duster, Feng Dongjia naturally believed that these two women could really do what they said.
Feng Dongjia nodded frantically.
Cheng Yue took the smelly socks out of his mouth and endured the nausea without throwing it away.
"vomit……"
Even Feng Dongjia himself couldn't stand the smell.
"Come……"
He dry heaved and was about to raise his voice to shout, but Cheng Yue was quicker than him and stuffed the stinky socks back in his mouth.
By the way, I punched him hard.
She hit him in the lower abdomen, and Feng Dongjia almost fainted again.
"It seems you're really dishonest! Humph, you don't want to force me to show off my skills, do you?"
Cheng Yue said as she pulled Feng Dongjia's hand.
