The twelve taels of silver were placed right in front of the Jiang family.
In the dim candlelight, the silver gleamed with a silvery light.
"Gulp~" A loud swallowing sound rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Uncle Jiang swallowing.
Uncle Jiang scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, sorry. This is the first time I've seen so much silver in all these years, I just couldn't resist."
Everyone understood perfectly; they hadn't seen so much silver in many years, especially since it was in their own home!
Jiang Hehu Xun and the other two boys couldn't control their drooling and secretly stretched out a finger to gently touch it.
Grandma Jiang was very excited. "My dearest granddaughter, Grandma, can I touch that ten-tael silver ingot?"
"Of course, please feel free to make the milk."
Grandma Jiang was overjoyed and quickly took the twelve taels of silver on the table into her hands, looking at it with a smile. After looking at it for a while, she pressed the silver tightly against her face, carefully feeling its cool touch.
The old lady smiled contentedly. If she weren't afraid that her beloved granddaughter would find it offensive, she would have liked to bite the silver in her hand.
"Mother, Mother, have you touched it enough? Let your son touch it too," Uncle Jiang said with a fawning smile.
The old lady looked up and found pairs of eyes, glowing green, staring at her expectantly.
The old lady reluctantly handed the silver to Uncle Jiang, and couldn't help but say, "Be careful, don't break the silver."
Uncle Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Alright!"
So, everyone in the Jiang family took turns touching the twelve taels of silver.
Jiang Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "I've had enough silver, it's time to get back to work."
"Yes," everyone replied excitedly.
Each person held a hemp rope of equal length and quickly strung the copper coins on the table.
Sure enough, the Jiang family members were efficient workers, especially when it came to stringing copper coins. They finished stringing over a thousand copper coins in just half an hour.
At this moment, the entire dining table was covered with strings of copper coins, and the Jiang family members felt very at ease.
"Young man, quickly calculate for your grandmother how many strings of copper coins there are in total," said Grandma Jiang.
“Okay, Grandma,” Jiang Xun said, then began to count the copper coins on the table aloud.
"A string of them!"
Two strings!
Three strings!
......
"Seventy skewers!" Jiang Xun was shocked when he counted to the end, and his voice involuntarily rose a little.
"How many strings of cash are seventy strings?" Grandma Jiang asked anxiously.
"Grandma, I don't know," Jiang Xun said awkwardly, scratching his head.
He hasn't learned arithmetic yet.
“One string costs one hundred coins, so seventy strings would cost seven thousand coins, which is seven strings of cash,” Jiang Wanwan said.
"How much? How much, Wan'er? Seven strings of cash!" Old Mrs. Jiang exclaimed, her eyes practically bulging in shock. "My goodness! We've only been setting up our stall for one day, and we've already earned seven strings of cash! Add to that these twelve taels of silver, and we've already made...!"
"Nineteen taels of silver!" Jiang Jialin said.
"Wow, at this rate, living in a three-courtyard house is no longer a dream for us!" Zhu said happily.
She used to think Wan Yatou was bragging, but now she's finally convinced.
Old Jiang's family will build a three-courtyard house sooner or later!
In this way, I will never have to worry about the money for my youngest son's schooling again!
