The villagers received their own money and went home happily!
Mr. Li put away the remaining silver and said to the two of them, "Let's go, we're going back too!"
When Li Yan returned home, Mrs. Lin saw her daughter's cheeks were red from the cold and stood up distressedly: "I'll get you some hot water to cover your face!"
Li Yan: "Mom, don't bother. I'll first deliver the copper coins I earned from selling candied haws to grandpa and grandma!" After saying that, she went straight to her room, picked up the small bag of copper coins and went next door!
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter who left in a hurry and said helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry, kid?"
When Li Yan arrived next door, the whole family was sitting in the main room talking. Li Dalang put his frozen hands on the charcoal basin to warm them, and excitedly told his family about his experience selling candied haws today.
When Mrs. Wu saw her granddaughter, she hurriedly beckoned her to come over to her side to warm herself: "Look at your face, it's freezing. Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!"
Li Yan handed the small bag to Wu and sat down beside her. "Grandma, this is the money we earned from selling candied haws these past two days. A total of 1,700 coins. Count it!"
Wu took the bag and counted it on the ground along with the ones given by Mr. Li today. She exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually 3,100!"
Old Master Li took a puff of his pipe and said, "There are still eight coins in here. They are extra from Shopkeeper Qian. He said he would thank the second girl. In addition, there is money for buying candy. You have to pick out these two and return them to the second girl!"
Li Yan said nonchalantly, "Master, you guys worked so hard to pick these fruits up the mountain. I didn't do anything for them, so I won't share them!"
After hearing what the old man said, Wu insisted on giving half of the copper coins to Li Yan: "You have nothing to do with this. None of us can make money from this. Your grandfather has already given the order. So take it!"
Li Yan understood what her grandparents meant. Since the family was divided, they had to find a way to live after the separation. No one's inconvenience could be easily ignored.
Li Yan thought for a moment and took out a thousand copper coins. "This money is enough to buy candy! Divide the remaining milk among you!"
Seeing that Li Yan only took part of it, Liu's heart finally settled down!
There are already many people in the family, and now most of it has been taken away. I don’t know how much will be left after dividing it among each person!
Seeing Liu staring at the copper coins, Wu didn't keep all the money. She counted out 600 coins and handed them to Liu: "This is the money for you and Dalang. I'll give it to you to keep. Don't spend it carelessly!"
Liu was looking forward to the copper coins, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law actually gave her silver coins. She hurriedly agreed. These days, her mother-in-law seemed to be much more relaxed about her, and she began to leave the small matters at home to her. Liu felt that such days made her feel much more comfortable.
Wu counted out another four hundred copper coins and handed them to Li Yan: "These are your aunt's. It's freezing cold, so I don't have to make a trip. Please take them to her for me. As for Daya's money, I'll keep it for you. When you go out, I'll give you some more to keep in your box!"
Daya's face turned red after hearing what her grandma said, and she lowered her head shyly!
After dividing the money, Li Yan returned to her home.
Li Yan first handed the money she had earned to Li Xiaomei: "Auntie, this is the money we earned from selling fruit this time, keep it safe!"
Li Xiaomei was doing her needlework and said with a smile, "You can keep the flowers!"
Li Yan stuffed the money into her aunt's hand without saying a word, turned around and left!
Li Xiaomei looked at Li Yan's departing back and sighed softly: "This child!"
