"I have a suggestion. Let's each get 1,266 taels, and the rest can be distributed to those who have helped us these days. How about that?"
Cheng Yue said.
"Why is it one thousand two hundred and sixty-six taels? Wouldn't it be better to have a round number?"
Ji Minghao asked doubtfully.
"Are you stupid? You've been here for so long, and you still don't know the rules here? There are twelve months in a year, and one thousand and two represents these twelve months. What about sixty-six? What does it represent? Sixty-six good luck! What Sister Yue meant! She must be saying that she hopes everything goes smoothly for us in the next year and twelve months! Right, Sister Yue, am I right?"
Cheng Minhong explained to Ji Minghao with disgust, then turned to Cheng Yue for confirmation.
"Minhong, you're so smart! I've been here for so long and I didn't know this either!"
Xue Hanyu said in surprise.
"Sister Hanyu, you are stupid! But you are still better than Mr. Ji."
Cheng Minhong said without hesitation.
Xue Hanyu stuck out his tongue.
Well, it’s better for me not to say anything when this little girl and Minghao are arguing with each other, so as not to get hurt accidentally.
Originally, Cheng Minyu, who was older, wanted to pull his younger sister aside and ask her to speak less rudely, because the general was his son after all.
As a result, all kinds of quarrels between her younger sister and Mr. Ji San emerged in her mind, so she gave up the idea.
"Yeah, that's what Minhong said. Okay, let's divide the money. First, of course, it has to be given to our smartest, cutest, and hardworking Minhong!"
Cheng Yue counted out 1,200 taels of silver notes, and took out ingots of 50 taels and 10 taels each, as well as six strings of copper coins.
She specially asked someone to take a boat to the money house in the provincial capital to exchange these silver notes and gold ingots. She went there yesterday morning and got a big box of copper coins!
"And then there's Ji San'er, who is also handsome and hardworking!"
Cheng Yue counted the same number and gave it to Ji Minghao.
Ji Minghao took it, and the moment he held the silver in his hand, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.
He was the grandson of a marquis and the youngest son of a general. His family's education had never required him to make money. He really regarded money as dirt.
However, the silver he just got gave him a different feeling. This was not dirt, but, what was this?
Ji Minghao couldn't explain it, but he just felt that this money was a very meaningful sum of money to him.
Xue Hanyu, who received the same education, is different from Ji Minghao.
Xue Hanyu had recently understood the importance of money and experienced the joy of making money.
She put her money away.
Xue Hanyu divided it into three parts, giving them to Jin Yan, Jin Xing and Ming Zhu respectively. These three people also made great efforts.
"Okay, we have 467 taels left now. Minyu, you've been busy for seven days, so I'll give you 70 taels! You two little ones, 10 taels each. We still have 377 taels left. I'll give 50 taels to He Gui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, 50 taels to Li Tiezhu and his son, and 100 taels to my parents. The rest will be distributed to those who have contributed, okay?"
Cheng Yue said again.
"Sister Yue, Sister Yue, and my dad is here too! He's been following me for several days."
When Cheng Minhong heard that everyone had a share, she quickly got one for her father as well.
"Oh! That's right, I forgot about uncle. How about this, let's give uncle fifty taels too?"
Cheng Yue said with a smile.
Her uncle wouldn't care about the fifty taels, but he would definitely take it since his daughter had fought for it for him.
