The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-Law

Chapter 15 Family Property

Zhou Shuren sat up and watched the bamboo orchids being pulled in the room. He dug out the adobe from the corner of the kang and found a cloth bag, and found another bag from the adobe on the wall. There were also bags on the ground and on the beams. There were enough for the kang cabinet standing , The whole house can’t be seen, there are pits everywhere, there are not as many mouse holes as there are holes for hiding money.

After searching all the bamboo orchids, I was panting and tired. This body is really weak. No wonder I stopped working at the beginning of the new year. Not to mention my back was soaked, and my legs were suddenly weak. , supported the Kang and sat for a while before recovering.

Zhou Shuren's tone was worried. He had memories, but his wife's health was really bad. "It's okay."

Zhulan waved her hand, "It's okay, there is still a clay pot in this room, I can't pull it out, it's full of copper coins, count the strings to five taels, and pull out everything else."

While talking, he got on the kang with slippers, and looked at the pile of cloth bags, and he regained his strength.

Zhou Shuren's eyes were also on it, "All of these?"

"Well, these are cash money from the family. The chaos at the end of the dynasty and the chaos at the beginning of the establishment. The owner of this body may not seem to have great wisdom, but he is cautious. There is no bank note at home, and it is all cash and silver."

Zhou Shuren said in his heart that he is not smart. He only dug a hole in one room, and he was stunned when he caught the key point. "What do you mean, the money in this house is enough for silver bills?"

Yo, I really have a lot of money at home. As far as I remember, there are no bank notes of one tael, five taels, or ten taels. The minimum starting price is fifty taels.

In Yuanshen's memory, when the dynasty was established, he took out a sum of money to build a house and buy fields. The family had a small 20 acres of land, 10 acres of paddy fields, and 10 acres of dry fields.

At the beginning of the later dynasty, the tax was exempted for three years, and life was a bit easier, but there were many children in the family, and the cost of studying was high, and married a daughter-in-law. A dozen or two is not bad.

But now, listening to Zhulan's meaning, and looking at these cloth bags and money boxes, I have to think of Yuan's mother, how capable!

Anyway, I don't think the original daughter-in-law has this ability.

Zhulan counted the cloth bags, there were eight in total, first she opened the money box, and emptied out the contents of the money box, "Here is the land deed for twenty mu of land, the house deed, fifteen taels of silver, and copper coins. One thousand three hundred and five, there is still more than one or two taels of silver that I took today, and that's all in the money box."

Zhou Shuren nodded. The money in the money box was about the same as the original owner estimated. He looked at the cloth bag, "What about these?"

Zhulan put the money box back again, and began to unpack the cloth bags. The cloth bags were all three colors, and there were signs of being bitten. This is a sign of rats, but she is not afraid of being bitten, but she is also afraid of it. Now she I've never seen a mouse before, if it wasn't for the money to support her, she wouldn't touch it.

As the bamboo orchid was being removed, the two of them could see clearly that each of the gray cloth bags contained ten taels of silver. There were three gray cloth bags in total, which was thirty taels, and there were two red cloth bags, each of which was blinded. The eyes of Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, hey, gold, no one buys more than a dozen gold ingots and put them together in modern times. There are five gold ingots of one tael in each bag, which is ten taels of gold.

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver was exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.

Zhulan knew in her heart that these were the five largest cloth bales, and they all had to be cut out of adobe. The remaining three were smaller, two were taken from the beams, and the other was on the ground. made it.

Zhou Shuren looked expectantly at the remaining three cloth bags. The bamboo orchids were opened one by one. There were two pairs of silver bracelets, several pairs of silver earrings, and several silver hairpins in one cloth bag, and a pair of gold hairpins in the other cloth bag. The dragon and phoenix bracelet, two rings, a few small gold earrings, and a jade pendant in the last bag, the jade pendant is the best suet jade.
