"If you pay it in one lump sum, it would be 220 taels a year, saving a month's rent! If we buy a shop directly, it would be around 800 to 1,000 taels."
Cheng Yue said again.
"You still want to buy a shop?"
Cheng Shun was surprised.
He never knew his daughter had such big ambitions!
You have to know that before their family opened a food stall, they could earn about thirty taels of silver a year from the rent from their land, not including the family's expenses.
Therefore, he thought that twenty taels a month was a lot of rent, and he never expected that their food stall could now earn fifteen taels a day.
"If I had that much money, of course I'd want to buy it! But it's not realistic right now, so I'll have to rent it first. When I make enough money, I'll buy a shop, some land, and a house. Then, you, Mom and Dad, won't have to work in the fields anymore, and you can just stay home and enjoy your retirement."
Cheng Yue said naturally.
Cheng Shun is fifty years old, and Jiang will be fifty in a year.
This age is not considered retirement in modern times, but in ancient times it was really considered old. If the children and grandchildren were capable, they would have retired to support their elderly.
Since Cheng Yue became Fatty, she naturally regarded the two elders as her own parents.
At the beginning, she didn't fit into the role so quickly, but after almost a month of getting along, she had completely regarded herself as the daughter of the Cheng family. Everything she thought and did was what she felt a daughter should do.
Since she has no parents, she should follow her son. If her parents want her to take care of them in their old age, she would be willing to do so.
Of course, the premise is that their relationship has always been so harmonious.
Cheng Shun was stunned when he heard Cheng Yue's matter-of-fact words.
Soon, tears welled up in his eyes. He tried hard to hold them back and said, "Let's talk about this at the end of next month. Fatty, wait for me tomorrow morning. I'll go out with you. Everyone go to bed!"
Cheng Shun spoke to end the family meeting. No one had any objections. Even if there were, they did not dare to raise them due to the authority of the head of the family.
Cheng Yue didn't know what his father meant. After washing up, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to figure it out. Finally, he stopped thinking and went to sleep.
…
The next morning, Cheng Yue woke up before dawn.
When she stood up and put on her clothes, she found that her waist seemed to have become thinner and her clothes were a little big.
Hey, that's a good thing!
I have been very busy recently. My schedule is packed every day. I follow the plan step by step and don’t pay attention to how much weight I have lost.
Cheng Yue went out happily, completely forgetting what Cheng Shun said last night, asking her to wait for him.
As a result, I remembered this matter when I saw Cheng Shun standing with his hands behind his back under a big tree next to me when I walked out the door.
"father!"
Cheng Yue ran over.
"Let's go, oh, run or walk?"
Cheng Shun took a step forward with his hands behind his back, then stopped and asked.
"Dad, let's jog. I can jog now. I can handle it."
Cheng Yue said happily.
Two days ago, she was able to jog continuously on the village field paths.
"Um."
Cheng Shun nodded.
The father and daughter started running together.
For someone like Cheng Shun who is used to doing farm work, even though he is fifty years old, jogging is no problem at all.
After running for a while, Cheng Shun stopped on a small path next to a large field.
Cheng Yue almost couldn't brake.
