The Chi family had no idea that the Qi family village had already reached a conclusion.
The next morning, while Chi Qiao was washing up in the bathroom, she saw Chi Yu get up to use the toilet and said:
"Little Fish, how much silver do you have left? Give me some."
I was thinking of resolving your matter today, and then having your older brother and the others take some food back with them.
Since we know there will be so many disasters coming, we should stock up on more food and warm clothing.
"By the way, take another look at the things in this house. Is there anything that's not too outrageous, but still worth some money, and we could pawn it?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu knew he needed to start preparing as soon as possible.
So after flushing the toilet and washing her hands, she pulled Chi Qiao, who had just washed her face, directly to the pile of things in the wasteland.
"Sis, everything is here. I haven't sorted it yet. Just find the stuff in my room."
Since she couldn't organize things with her mind, when she tidied up, she would pile up everything in one room in one place.
Right now, all her belongings are piled up in the middle of her room.
She continued speaking while rummaging through her things:
"The Qi family used to be dirt poor, and Shen would try to get money from me every month."
Even if she has money, it's all from the last year or two.
First, it was money Old Qi earned from odd jobs; second, it was money he pocketed from the household allowance I gave him each month.
Then there's the small change she makes from her embroidery work.
Unfortunately, she wasn't very diligent; earning a hundred or two hundred coins a month was considered quite good.
In addition, ever since Qi Mingyu passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, his family has maintained the airs of a family of farmers and scholars, and they are unwilling to raise even chickens and ducks, let alone pigs.
Therefore, the Qi family's income is really limited!
Not to mention others, even Qi Mingyu himself, ever since the original owner married him, has been unwilling to even copy books to earn some money!
It would be strange if people like that could live well after a divorce!
Chi Qiao is faster at finding things than Chi Yu.
Before long, they found the wooden box containing the dowry money from the pond.
When they opened it and saw the remaining silver inside, they were dumbfounded.
"Little fish, is this all there is left?"
When Chi Yu peeked out, he saw that there were only eleven ingots of silver left in the wooden box, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, that's right, these are all that's left."
Chi Qiao, who was originally in a hurry to leave, is no longer in a hurry.
She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe her words: "No! Back then, your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother each gave you ten taels of silver."
Besides that, everyone in the village helped you with your makeup.
Oh right, we also have to add the pocket money and New Year's money that everyone gave you from childhood to adulthood.
You saved all of these yourself.
Adding it all up, it should be at least thirty-five taels, if not forty.
You got married last January, and it's only the end of August this year, so it's been less than two years.
During this period, all the meat your family ate was delivered by everyone.
During holidays and festivals, when your sisters-in-law come over, they'll usually slip you a hundred or so coins.
Now you're telling me that's all that's left?
You know, I haven't seen you get any new clothes made, or any new jewelry."
The fish-headed man, exasperated, quickly tried to defend himself:
"Sister, I know you need the money urgently, but you need to be reasonable."
I didn't spend this money.
According to memory, the money was mainly used by the original owner for her scumbag husband, Qi Mingyu.
The Qi family was poor, and Qi Mingyu was a scholar, even a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations). He couldn't possibly wear those faded clothes forever.
Before the original owner married into the Qi family, these were all matters within the Qi family itself.
But now that the original owner of this body has married into the family, these things are something the original owner, as the daughter-in-law, must prepare.
Chi Qiao was just too angry to think straight, that's why she got so worked up with her sister.
