Chapter 158 Lack of Money



If she really believed Damao's words and prepared 60 taels a year, then she might as well not have this brain anymore.

Damao agreed after receiving the letter, but he didn't reply until today.

Girls who can choose not to sign the contract are usually rich or noble, and these expenses are not worth mentioning to them.

First of all, the accommodation. These girls either rent a yard outside or live in a single yard in the embroidery workshop, which costs 10 taels of silver a month.

Another option is to live in a four-person room with apprentices who have signed contracts, paying one tael of silver per month.

The food doesn't cost money, but the reputation is not very good. Those who have money can either order food at the restaurant or let the maid cook for them in the courtyard.

These are not the most expensive things.

All non-contracted apprentices who advance to the intermediate embroidery class have to prepare their own silk threads and thick cloth, which can range from a few taels to more than ten taels...

Different worlds, same gap.

"well……"

Song Yuehua put down the letter, walked out of the house, looked at the big and small treasures playing outside, and sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Tian asked, "Miss, is there anything bothering you?"

"Aunt Tian, ​​why is it so hard to make money?" Song Yuehua said helplessly.

Tian smiled and said, "If the girl doesn't know how to make money, then there will be no one in our village who can make money."

Song Yuehua smiled bitterly and said nothing.

The cotton and corn will be harvested in a month or so, and the pigs in the pigsty will soon be slaughtered. After deducting expenses, the remaining money should be enough for Xiaoyu to spend at Qingyun Embroidery Workshop for a year.

It’s not easy to save more money.

Qingyun Embroidery Workshop, as long as Xiaoyu can get in, she will still send her there.

We can think of other ways to deal with the money issue.

In order to relieve her anxiety, Song Yuehua took a bow and arrow and walked around the outskirts of Mount Bugui early the next morning.

In the whole morning, I picked a basket of wild vegetables and caught a big fat rabbit.

If you want to get the big stuff, you have to go deep.

That night, Ji Ming came to the door.

"Several children were abducted in the villages near the county town. They might be the same group as before." Ji Ming announced big news as soon as he opened his mouth.

Song Yuehua was a little surprised. "Haven't you been in Dongshan? Where did you get this news?"

Ji Ming chuckled and said, "Cats have their own way, dogs have their own way, and I have my own way."

Song Yuehua was too lazy to ask about his source of information and asked, "If it is the same group we encountered before, do you think they will retaliate?"

"Yes!" Ji Ming said without hesitation.

Song Yuehua took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and made up her mind.

"In this kind of situation, it's best to strike first. Do you have any good ideas?" Song Yuehua asked.

Ji Ming said, "I have a way to find their lair, and then we can kill them all. We can split the reward equally, how about that?"

Prize money?

Song Yuehua suddenly became excited, her eyes sparkling, "What prize money? Tell me in detail."

Ji Ming, "..."

When Ji Ming and others were still beggars, they were sometimes lucky enough to find the hiding places of kidnappers and exchange some gossip for a little money.

"This time is different. I want to do something big," Ji Ming said. "If we can catch the kidnapper, the government will give us a reward. We will then send the kidnapped child home. If the child's family is well-off, they will also give us a large reward."

Song Yuehua thought, although it is impossible to estimate the price by weight like hunting, it is at least better than nothing.

And regardless of whether there is reward or not, these evils must be eliminated in order to avoid harm to oneself.

Song Yuehua still had some doubts, "You already know this news, how could the village head not know it?"

Ji Ming smiled and said nothing.

"You are going to the county town now, and you have to perform in front of the county magistrate. Aren't you worried?" Song Yuehua was talking about the incident when Ji Ming stole the house before.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ming laughed after hearing this and said, "You think too much of those people. Not to mention that so much time has passed, even if they catch me, they have no evidence. They only rely on Xu Lao Er's one-sided statement. What can they do to me?"

"Tell me about your plan." Song Yuehua said.

Ji Ming came over and whispered, "First, let's identify the hideout..."

"Wait a minute," Song Yuehua interrupted, "Who are you?"

"You don't think that I can find the kidnappers' hideout by myself, do you?" Ji Ming asked back.

It is true that cats have their own way and dogs have their own way.

Ji Ming continued, "It would be best to catch them all this time. Every kidnapper we catch means a reward..."
