The news of the death of the second daughter-in-law of the Li family spread in the village for a few days, but was gradually forgotten.
As for how the 5 taels of silver were finally divided, Song Yuehua didn't care. It was worth it if it could make the Li family quarrel for a while.
In the evening, Song Yuehua counted her savings and found that she still had 486 taels.
When they were about to settle the accounts, the lamp oil started to burn. Xiaoyu was picking up the lamp oil while telling Xiaoyu about the interesting things that happened in Class D.
Xiaoyu was embroidering flowers. Occasionally she looked up and said a few words to Xiaoyu with a smile on her face.
Although Dabao is very strong, he is always made to cry by Xiaobao. He wants to provoke her, but is a little scared and can only roll around on the side.
Bai Shu was sitting opposite the oil lamp writing, while Liu Xue was sitting beside him watching, and occasionally chatting with Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu.
The lights are dim, the voices are soft, and the scent of ink lingers.
Song Yuehua squeezed the pen tightly and lowered her head to look at the account book in her hand.
Starting from next month, not only will we have to pay the monthly wages to the teachers in the school, but we will also have to pay the wages to the clan members.
The salary of the clan members will be settled at the end of this month. 600 will be deducted and 600 will be paid out. The normal payment will be made in May.
Master Duan and Master Yi started calculating their monthly wages from March, which was 4 taels of silver per month.
Madam Xia will not be paid until October, 400 wen a month.
In the future, they would settle accounts and pay wages every month. Song Yuehua looked up and asked Liu Xue, "Go back to school, and come back to be my accountant."
Liu Xue jumped up and quickly refused, "I'm not good at studying. I can only write my own name and Xiaoshu's name now. You can find someone else."
Song Yuehua snorted and said, "Who else can I find? Xiaoyu goes to school during the day and learns embroidery at night. Xiaoyu has to attend classes and give lectures. It's good enough that Bai Shu and Lan Yu can study well. Who else can I find besides you?"
"I can't do that," Liu Xue retorted, "I have to work, practice archery, and learn how to raise pigs. You can't use me as eight people!"
Well, that seems to be the case.
Xiaoyu said, "Sister Song, how about I help you!"
The students in Class D are the most difficult to manage. Song Yuehua would never be so cruel. "You have enough to worry about in school. If I ask you to do this, it would be called exploitation."
Before Xiaoyu could speak, Song Yuehua had anticipated it and immediately said, "Just do your own thing. I'll take care of this. You don't have to worry about it."
I'd better do it myself and make an account book when the time comes, Song Yuehua thought.
The next day, Zhou Dafu arranged for the parents to go up the mountain to turn the land, and he remembered clearly which piece of land belonged to whom.
Song Yuehua encountered a situation here.
These days, Master Ma has not been to the county town. It was only when Song Yuehua went to inquire about the situation that Master Ma whispered.
"The county has been sealed off. The people above didn't say clearly, and the people below speculated that it had something to do with the young general. The city is now in chaos. Fortunately, you reminded me. Otherwise, if I encounter any problems, who can I turn to for justice?"
Song Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "It's better to go out less recently. The county is under lockdown, and the countryside is not safe either."
"Girl, do you know something?" Master Ma asked, unable to resist his curiosity.
"Grandpa Ma, please don't ask me anymore. I'm just guessing. We are from the same village. How could I know something that you don't know?" Song Yuehua said.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Master Ma did not force her. Knowing too much about some things might not necessarily be beneficial.
In fact, Song Yuehua really relied on blind guessing.
When the man bought potatoes and the horse pulling the cart had sword wounds on its body, she guessed that the man must be a soldier.
As for why they bought grain privately, the situation may be much more complicated than what is circulating in the market.
Ordinary people like them would try to avoid this kind of big vortex if possible.
If you guess wrong, you will only lose some coins, but if you avoid it, you may very likely save your life.
Unable to go to the county, Song Yuehua could only hire Ma Ye’s car and collect corn seeds in various villages. It was unknown how long the city would be closed, and it would be bad if it delayed farming.
After a few days, they harvested 140 kilograms of corn seeds, which was barely enough. Farmers kept the seeds for themselves and could not sell them all.
After buying the seeds, Song Yuehua took some time off and roasted two chickens and took Liu Xue up the mountain.
I went to the rock pit first, and after entering the snake cave, I called out "Great Immortal" twice, but there was no response for a long time.
Song Yuehua thought, is it still hibernating?
It seems like it came at a bad time.
After placing the roasted chicken in the snake cave, Song Yuehua took Liu Xue to collect wild vegetables nearby. Perhaps because of the heavy snow, there were not many wild vegetables growing in the mountains this year. After wandering around for a long time, they barely filled their backpacks before returning home.
"Come back after some time." Song Yuehua said sullenly.
"You're going home empty-handed for the first time?" Liu Xue said with emotion, "I really don't know whether to say that your archery skills are incredible or your luck is incredible."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "They are all quite amazing."
Recently, Granny Wang has to take care of Zhu Yanli, Shitou and Xiaomian, so she comes less often.
Granny Lan comes here often. It’s convenient for her because she lives in the school next door. She helps take care of the twins and cooks.
Song Yuehua took Liu Xue and Madam Xia to tend to the vegetable garden outside the house.
"These days are quite leisurely." Song Yuehua stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
At this time, a burst of reading was heard from the school.
Liu Xue listened for a while and said, "You read quite neatly today."
Lady Xia smiled and said, "The newcomers are not bad either."
"Yes, you have to work hard!" said Song Yuehua.
The three continued to hoe the ground.
"Liu Xue!"
Suddenly a woman shouted. Liu Xue looked towards the person and stood in front of Song Yuehua calmly.
"Is Liu Meiniang here with you? Where is she? Where is she!" Huang Fengjuan shouted at the top of her lungs with her hair disheveled.
