Chapter 451 Calculation

Liu Shi asked again: "You work for Bai Zhi, how much did she pay you?"

Zhang Shi said: "We turned the land for her, two yuan per mu of land, and a total of two mu, four yuan and silver."

The old lady Bai hurried over and said, "Two acres? Zhao Lan's and Hu Changlin's add up to three acres, why only two acres?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Bai and said, "Girl Zhi is in a hurry to use the land, and it will be completed within two days. We can only turn over two acres, so we will give one acre to Sanshui."

The old lady Bai looked regretful, and subconsciously glared at Mrs. Zhang: "Baibai let others earn two coins, you work harder, can't you turn over an extra acre? Useless things!"

Zhang Shi sneered: "Yes, we are useless, your eldest son is useful, your precious eldest grandson and the youngest grandson who is a high official are useful, let them go and see if they can complete one mu of land in a day. You earn these two dollars back."

The old lady knew she had made a slip of the tongue. The Zhang family now is not the Zhang family of the past. Now that they have separated, they don't need to look at their face as before, but she can't help but scold her casually.

"That's what I said, you see you're serious." The old lady forced a dry smile.

Liu's mind calculated that if two acres of land were turned over, it would be four coins, which means that they had already obtained the four coins. Xiaofeng only needed to teach five coins to go to school. There was only one coins left, and she would go to Zhang Sanshui to borrow another one. Money, don't you live together?

Liu Shi was overjoyed, and hurried to the old lady's side, whispering in her ear.

After hearing this, the old lady took it seriously and felt that Liu's abacus was good, and now she can only do it like this, so she walked up to Zhang's face and forced a dry smile: "Second wife, I just have something to talk to. You negotiate."

How could the Zhang family not know what they were thinking about? Seeing that the college was about to start, they were looking for tuition fees for Xiaofeng and wanted to take advantage of their second room.

"If you have something to say, just say it, but I'm going to tell you the ugly one. I don't even have money to borrow food. We still owe a debt to us, and these four coins are not enough to pay off the debt."

The expressions of the old lady and Mrs Liu changed immediately: "What debt do you owe? It's only been a few days since the family split? What debt can you owe outside?"

Zhang Shi sneered in his heart, they were too embarrassed to split up in front of her.

"That's right, the family has just split up, and it is because of the split that we need to borrow money to buy grain, to borrow money to buy winter clothes, quilts, and winter grain. We will plant melons next spring, and we must not leave behind to buy seeds. Money? You only gave us 30 coins for the second room when we split up the family. What are these 30 coins enough for? Even the quilt from last year’s winter was taken by your big house. How can we live without borrowing money?”

The old lady felt a little guilty, and said with a dry smile: "I didn't see you bringing things back. If you really borrowed money to buy these things, why didn't I see them at all?"

Mr. Zhang patted the mud on his body, walked into the house, and said as he walked, "I'm afraid that it will be stolen when I take it back, and I don't know if it's safe to put it in someone else's home, and I'll take it back when I need it. Not too late."

Mrs. Zhang secretly swore in her heart that if she makes money from planting melons next year, the first thing she will do is to learn Angelica, buy a piece of land in the village, build another house, and never meet these people again.

It saves them being idle all day long, eating and drinking as a family, and there are a lot of young and old, they can't afford it.
