"It's true, believe me, I have tried my best to prepare."
"Well, I believe you!" Zhang Zixuan said firmly.
After Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei's families came back with the plantain, the three families began to divide the money among the wild boars and plantain.
"We sell plantains at Ren Tang for a total of 120 catties. Shopkeeper Qin said we look good, we wash them clean, and dry them well, so he charges us 6 coins per catty, which makes a total of 980 coins per ounce of silver. If we divide it equally among the three families, that means each family gets 660 coins per ounce. We'll give the extra coin to Brother Zhiyong's family. Do you have any problem with that?"
After hearing Jian Xiu's words, the two families rubbed their hands in excitement.
It's only been a few days and I've already earned more than 600 coins.
What's more, the plantain they sell is only a small part, and the yard is full of plantain.
If all of them were dried, at least a few taels of silver could be obtained.
What about those outside that haven’t been dug up?
The more the three families thought about it, the more excited they became.
Even though they got the copper coins directly, they were still in the dark.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu shook her head helplessly.
"I'm going to return the three wild boars. I'm going to carry half of them back today. I'm going to sell them at Yuexiang Tower for two taels of silver plus a hundred coins. As we said before, I'll take 60% and you'll take 20%..."
"Sister-in-law, we said before that we couldn't take the money for the wild boar. If you really can't, you can charge us five cents a day, so that we can still make money. The work at the dock in this county town is only two cents, and it was only three cents at that time. We can't take so much money from you."
Before Jian Xiu finished her words, she was interrupted by Zhang Zhiyong.
The three wild boars were dug by Jian Xiu alone, and the two families just helped to drag them back.
If they really took so much money, they would never be able to justify it.
Zhang Haifei on the side also nodded repeatedly and said:
"Sister-in-law, the five cents you gave us are already enough for us. We also spent most of the day that day. If we really count, we didn't even get five cents. Besides, we have already taken advantage of you for the plantain. If you give us another share of the money, we will feel bad."
Hearing what the two said, Jian Xiu shook her head helplessly. They really are all honest people.
Knowing that they would not accept it even if they forced it, Jian Xiu and his family finally gave him one or two taels of silver.
Seeing that they were trying to stuff it back into her, Jian Xiu threatened:
"Okay, if you don't accept it, I won't care about you no matter what good things you do next time!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Chunzhi and Lin Xia immediately withdrew their hands.
I imitated Jian Xiu's expression just now and shook my head helplessly.
Then Jian Xiu prepared to divide the half of the wild boar meat and take some back to the two families.
The half of wild boar meat he brought back alone weighed more than 100 kilograms.
In addition to giving some money to her mother's family in Jianjia Village, she also reserved some for these two families.
But when she saw the pork that had been cut into pieces, she suddenly understood.
The pork had been cut into large chunks, two of them were the same size, and one was extra large.
There is no doubt that this must have been divided by Zhang Zixuan.
There is no doubt that the bigger piece is for her parents.
The two pieces of the same size should be for Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei.
The remaining piece, which is neither too big nor too small, is reserved for the family.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu subconsciously looked at the man sitting in a wheelchair not far away.
I have to say, he is very considerate.
Jian Xiu, who had never been cared for by anyone in the last days, felt for the first time that it was so warm to have someone care about her and do these little things for her.
After picking up two equally sized pieces of pig, Jian Xiu asked Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei's families to take one back respectively.
When only two families were left, Jian Xiu took out all the silver.
When Liutou and Xiaotou saw it, their eyes suddenly became bigger than copper bells.
Not to mention the two of them, even Zhang Zixuan looked incredulous.
"How much money have we made in the past two days?" Liu Tou looked around and asked in a low voice.
The cautious look on his face as if guarding against thieves completely amused Jian Xiu.
"How can this be too much? I still think it's not enough. I've asked Shopkeeper Wu to ask the Academy for me. If there's no problem, I can send you there."
"Really?" the boss asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true. Mother even bought you some Xuan paper today because she wants you to learn more and do well in the exam in front of Dean Mo."
"Do we still need to take the exam?" Liu Tou asked dejectedly.
You know, the two of them can't even read a single word, how can they take the exam?
"Don't worry, mother will teach you all these." Jian Xiu said calmly.
As for her identity, she had no intention of hiding it.
Of course, this was directed at Zhang Zixuan. As for the three children, she could probably just make up an excuse and get away with it.
But Zhang Zixuan is different. He should have noticed something strange about himself during this period.
Sure enough, after she said this, Jian Xiu immediately felt Zhang Zixuan's strange eyes on her.
"Mom, can you read?"
"Of course, I just had no place to use my skills in the old house before. I know a lot more." Jian Xiu said with a very proud look.
Next, Jian Xiu piled up the money she had earned in the past few days, and said to Zhang Zixuan with a strange look:
"Come, let's count how much silver we have saved during this period of time."
"Okay, mother, I'll count the coppers and you count the silver."
"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!" Erya also rushed over with a smile, leaned next to Liutou, and swept all the copper coins into a pile.
Looking at the three brothers and sisters, Jian Xiu felt satisfied and warm for the first time.
Under the oil lamp, the family of five sat in the small house in the dim light, and occasionally let out some happy laughter.
These are things that Jian Xiu, as a special agent, has never tried. She has always lived on the edge of a knife, and only now does she understand that life can be lived like this.
"Mom, did I calculate wrong just now? Is there really nearly eight or two taels in our house?" Liu Tou raised his head and asked Jian Xiu.
"No, you didn't make a mistake just now. Our family has so much money now. It is precisely because of this much money that mother plans to send you and your brother to study in the academy."
Jian Xiu explained patiently.
She knew that if she didn't let them know that she had so much money, given the sensible nature of the two brothers, they would never go to the academy even if they were beaten to death.
