Chapter 44: How long will it take them to save these four taels of silver?

When I returned to Yu's house, Yu Sanbao had not come back yet.

Bai Xiaofeng, who had just returned from her mother's home for three days, came back with Liu and Gui.

Bai Xiaofeng's brother from her mother's family, Bai Chengdong, borrowed a donkey cart from the same village and drove them back.

When Mrs. Wei invited him to stay for dinner, he smiled cheerfully: "Auntie, no, I have to hurry home to fix the fence. Next time, next time I will bring my husband with me!"

Mrs. Wei really liked such a straightforward young man, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Bai Xiaofeng brought back a lot of things from her mother's house, and she placed them on the table with a smile: "This is the pickled bacon my mother made. She told me that if we cut a little each time, we can eat it for a long time. This is a pair of velvet flowers made by my brother's wife for our Xingxing after she heard that we have a little girl. Pinning them on this little bun will definitely look pretty. And these, these dried fruits were picked and dried by my mother's nephews. They are also good as snacks..."

After hearing this, Su Rouer felt that everything Bai Xiaofeng placed on the table was like a slap in her face.

She always brought back big and small bags when she went back from her husband's home to her parents' home, but she never brought anything back to her husband's home when she came back from her parents' home!

In the past, Su Rouer didn't think much of it. She just proudly thought that she was from the county town and married into this village, and it was natural for her husband's family to praise her parents' family.

But ever since she brought Ju Ge'er back to her parents' home in a bad mood, even if she gave him enough money, she was still often treated strangely by her sister-in-law at her parents' home, and even her son was often bullied by her nephew from her parents' home?

Su Rouer then slowly realized that something was wrong.

Especially the disappearance of Ju Ge'er a few days ago and her parents' indifference also broke her heart.

After she married into the Yu family, she still considered herself a member of the Su family and was always sympathetic to her parents' family. But what about her parents' family?

Her parents just treat her as a married woman, like water spilled out!

Just think of her as a daughter-in-law of the Yu family, and no longer a daughter of the Su family!

Su Rouer looked at the table filled with things that her second sister-in-law brought back from her parents' home, and realized this matter again.

Her parents' family never thought about saving face for her in her husband's family!

Su Rouer stood there feeling sad, while the others were talking excitedly.

Especially when Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng heard Mrs. Wei proudly say that the herbs picked by Xingxing were sold for four taels of silver, their eyes widened!

Four taels of silver!

Li Chunhua and Bai Xiaofeng both took a breath of cool air.

Bai Xiaofeng has good craftsmanship. She can take some free time to do needlework on weekdays. She can make one piece in three to five days and sell one piece for more than ten coins.

In a month, if I use my spare time to make seven or eight pieces at most, I can't even earn 200 coins!

Not to mention that Li Chunhua's needlework is not as good as Bai Xiaofeng's!

How long will it take them to save these four ounces of silver? !

The two were so jealous that they didn't know what to say!

"This... Now that these herbs are so valuable, why don't we ask the brothers at home to go into the mountains to look for herbs?"

Li Chunhua was very jealous and made a suggestion to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei glanced at her and said, "Do you really think these herbs that can be sold for money are everywhere? We are the lucky ones! ... Today, I met the wife of Lao Zhou from the east end of the village selling herbs. She was carrying a basket covered with cloth. It was so precious that you could tell it was not easy to get them. But in the end, she could only sell them for 40 or 50 coins!"

Li Chunhua was amazed when she heard this.

Bai Xiaofeng was able to speak. She smiled and said, "No matter what, Xingxing is lucky, which means our Yu family is lucky. I just happened to bring back some bacon. How about my sister-in-law make some bacon stewed rice tonight?"

Li Chunhua responded.

Mrs. Wei looked at the food on the table and said with emotion, "My mother-in-law is really too polite."

Bai Xiaofeng said to Wei Pozi with a smile on her face: "Mom, you gave me the fifty coins, and I bought a lot of things to take back. My mother was stunned! She originally insisted that I bring those things back, and I said that they were also a token of my mother-in-law's kindness, so my mother was willing to accept them. As a result, when I left, she insisted that I bring more things back to our family. Look, I packed a lot of things here and there! Thanks to Chengdong for borrowing a donkey cart to send us back, otherwise, it would be really hard to carry them!"

Bai Xiaofeng changed the subject and said with a smile: "I have to thank my mother for letting me go back to my parents' home and make a name for myself!"

Who would feel uncomfortable after hearing this?

Mrs. Wei couldn't stop smiling.

Li Chunhua showed some envy in her eyes. She had to learn the speaking technique from her second brother's wife!

On the other hand, Su Rouer felt more and more ashamed the more she listened, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Her family... never thought of giving her a face in her husband's family!

At night, everyone had a meal of stewed bacon with rice and felt energetic.

Old Man Yu discussed with Mrs. Wei that they had almost finished the work in the fields in the past few days. A wealthy family about ten miles west of their home wanted to build a villa there. They were currently recruiting workers, providing food but not accommodation, and would pay twenty cents a day!

He plans to take his four sons there tomorrow to try it out.

Mrs. Wei was also moved after hearing this.

The Yu family is large and prosperous. Although Old Man Yu is a little old, he is still strong and can do some work. In total, the Yu family has five adult working people.

This adds up to a hundred coins a day!

"Grandma, I want to go too." The eldest boy Huai was also eager to try.

Li Chunhua also said, "Yes, mother, although Huai'er is young, he is stronger than his father, so let him go."

Mrs. Wei frowned, "Brother Huai is only thirteen this year, not even fourteen, still a child... Besides, we can't be the only ones left at home. If Brother Huai is at home, he can help if there's anything."

That's true.

That's settled.

Mother Wei said to Li Chunhua, "…The second eldest's family is back today. Tomorrow it will be their turn to start cooking, so you should take Huai and Bai back to their grandparents' home first."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wei took out the cloth bag and counted out fifty coins.

Li Chunhua thought that she had to learn from her second brother and sister-in-law and speak more nicely, so she declined, "...Mother, why don't we just forget about the money..."

Mrs. Wei chuckled and glanced at Li Chunhua: "Then I can put it away?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wei was really going to withdraw her hand, Li Chunhua panicked and laughed dryly, "Mother..."

Mrs. Wei couldn't help laughing, and pushed the copper plate in front of Li Chunhua, snorting and laughing: "Okay, stop with those nonsense!"

Li Chunhua took the money and replied with a smile: "Oh, Mom, I got it!"

Everyone laughed.

Su Rouer sat aside and watched, feeling a little envious.

Yu Sanbao suddenly gave her a look, indicating that she should go out and talk.
