Chapter 111 Taifeng Yinzhuang

He shouted at the old lady Bai: "Shut up, you, talk about it, how did you save these thirty taels? How much is the income from the fields in a year, how much is the family's expenses, and how much can you save in a year? Silver, how long these silvers have been saved in total, please clarify."

The old lady Bai is so anxious. Although she is in charge of the family, she has not calculated the account. All she knows is that after each collection, she will leave some food for the family to eat, and the rest can be sold for two or three taels of silver, deducting the expenses of the family And the money for Xiaofeng's study is almost depleted, where can I save any money.

She had saved most of her life in that small box, but only a few taels of silver were saved. The last time she treated Zhao Lan for her injuries, it had already cost her 22 taels of silver, and the money in the box had already bottomed out.

When Mrs. Liu saw that Mrs. Bai was speechless with her mouth open, she was also anxious, and hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of her husband beside her, telling him to speak quickly.

After all, Bai Dazhu is a man and the eldest son of the family. Although he is a little terrified when he sees the official, he can't watch the old lady being forced to speak, but he will only act like a tortoise.

Bai Dazhu coughed lightly and said to Meng Nan: "Sir, our family's thirty taels of silver are not saved in one day or two, but they have been saved for more than ten years, and only then did we have such a little savings. There are five acres of fertile land and two acres of sandy land. The annual food is excluding the food that I want to eat, and I can sell several taels of silver. The family is frugal and saves the money. I planned to tell my eldest son. Dear."

Meng Nan's expression remained still, but he said in a low voice, "So, these 30 taels of silver were saved by you little by little?"

Bai Dazhu hurriedly nodded: "Exactly."

"Then the thirty taels of silver in your family are silver bills, or broken silver? Or silver ingots?"

Bai Dazhu was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Lord Meng would ask such a question, what should he say? Bai Dazhu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Bai and asked her for help.

At this time, old lady Bai had already made up her mind, and knew that this lie must be settled, otherwise, it would not be a simple matter of making a mistake.

The old lady Bai continued: "There are all of them, there are also broken silver, and there are silver ingots. How many are there? I am so confused, and I have not counted them properly."

When the villagers surrounding the courtyard heard these words, they shook their heads, and some people lowered their voices.

"This old woman is really shameless. She can say such words. With her virtue of loving money like her life, she has to count the silver she has saved every day. Do you know how many silver ingots there are?"

Meng Nan turned to look at Bai Zhi and asked, "What about you? Maybe it proves the origin of these thirty taels of silver?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, this money belongs to Uncle Hu, and Uncle Hu can naturally prove it."

They had a good conversation last night, and naturally knew what to say and what not to say in front of the official.

Uncle Hu stepped forward and said to Meng Nan: "Sir, it's true, the villain's family is poor, and he has never saved any money before, but not long ago, the villain's son Hu Feng was fortunate enough to dig one while hunting in the mountains. Ginseng, the little old man entrusted the ginseng to Doctor Lu in the village and asked him to help him sell some silver money to supplement his family."

Meng Nan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How much did it sell for?"

Hu Bo said: "A total of 200 taels of silver were sold. Doctor Lu can testify about this."

Two hundred taels of silver? One ginseng sold for two hundred taels?
