The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 85 Respect
Yingzi took the purse and poured out the silver and handed it to Grandpa Zeng. He looked at the people in the room, raised his head and said, "I've given you the money. If my master is in trouble in the future, you can't just ignore it. Even if it's just a matter of kinship, My master has nothing against our family."

"That's for sure. We are not the ungrateful people. My good boy, we have made things difficult for you. Our family wants to build a yard, otherwise your brothers won't be able to say goodbye."

Aunt Yingzi pulled her over and touched her head.

"That's fine."

"It's settled."

Grandpa chuckled.

"Don't talk nonsense to the outside world. Xiu'er will have to accept disciples in the future. Don't make it difficult for her to be a good person. Boss, in a few days you will pick up Zhou's family. They will invest money in our village's workshop and have children come and learn from it." The craftsmanship, the one who makes the goods is responsible for taking out.”

"Okay, I'll go."

"How about building a house?"

"It's not possible for now. We have to wait until next year. We won't be able to do it this year."

"to make."

Xiuniang doesn't have to work too hard now that she has living money in her hands. She mainly focuses on the tapestry Buddha statue. This time she has to hold back a big deal and send it to the capital to pave the way for the children.

As for myself, I just make palace fans to pass the time. I mostly use it to teach my children to read and my aunts to learn crafts.

Summer has arrived, and the winery has begun to divide accounts and gradually collect a lot of money back.

We didn't get a share of last year's money, so we'll settle the accounts together this year. Grandpa and the others went to the capital and brought back part of the clan's money, so they all have to be thrown away.

After recalculation, the clan and clan each got more than 300 taels of silver, and my grandfather's family got more than 100 taels. This is what they got after last year's accounts were excluded.

The rest of the money earned by the bad guys is calculated individually and is not included in this account. It is just drink money.

There was a clan meeting today, and everyone was sitting at the door of the ancestral hall waiting.

Uncle Li first reported to everyone the accounts from last year to this year, what was spent, what was used, what expenditures and incomes were made.

Finally, he concluded, "This year the wine shop has made money. Did you hear the account report just now? Last year, my brother Heng bought a yard in Beijing and got engaged, and the clan also contributed a share of the money. This year, the wine will be returned to the clan, and the account will be evened." "

"I didn't expect there to be so many."

Everyone is beaming.

"First of all, please don't make any noise. No one will share the Clan Academy's money. This is a common practice, you all understand."

"Understood, I will listen to you and the clan elders."

The villagers had no objections.

"The clan's money is more than 300 taels. We now have several plans to discuss with everyone. One is that the weaving workshop needs to prepare. One investment is 100 taels. The Zhou family also invests 100 taels, and Xiu Niang invests 200 taels. Li Qing and Li Yan each put in 500 taels, can we make a weaving workshop?"

"can."

"We don't have much money left. It looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. We are thinking about buying a shop and turning it into a wine shop. This way we can have space to sell our own wine. This is considered a family property, so can we not own it as an individual?"

"Row."

The villagers agreed.

"Finally, it's the junk money. The clan calculated that there are more than 200 taels. My old man said that Brother Heng has the support of the clan. This year, my family's junk money will be donated to the clan or to the clan school to build an ancestral hall. Okay, follow the arrangements of the elders."

It was only a little over 100 taels. Grandpa thought twice about donating it to the clan. This year he will not divide the money.

"These 200 taels are divided among everyone. I should share 150 taels for my household's bad goods. Put the single door aside and talk about this later." "You can't let your family suffer all the time. You should share as much as you want, and you must write it down clearly when you donate. It’s useful, you can’t do it in a daze, and if no one admits it in the end, then it won’t work.”

Li Qing suggested that if there are no rules, there will be no rule. Donations should be used for their purpose. Otherwise, whoever donates to the clan in the future will be confused and refuse to acknowledge the donation, and their good intentions will be wasted.

"That's the truth. Rules are rules. Don't mess around. It will be troublesome if you follow the same rules in the future."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. We'll discuss what the money will be used for later. Now I'll share the money with you. Every household has it, regardless of the Li family or the foreign surname. Everyone has it, according to the father's house title. When divided, brothers’ shares will not be counted. My father will share a share while he is still alive, and your father will share a share while he is alive. If grandpa passes away, it will be calculated according to his father’s head of house. Please listen clearly.”

"clear."

This means that the elder is the head of the house, and the brothers below are still considered as one family even if they live alone.

We went door to door to collect money, signed and fingerprinted, and everyone was beaming with joy.

There were also inquiries from people who wanted to buy land. Uncle Li wrote down his name and talked to everyone about it after he found the land. Then he bought it in one go, which would be cheaper, and then collected everyone's money to transfer the ownership.

Every household shared the money, with smiles and excitement on their faces. After so many years of hard work, it finally paid off.

"My family also got some money this time, and with what I saved, I can buy a few more acres of land."

"My family is the same. I plan not to build a house, but to buy land first."

"The most important thing is to buy the land. We should pay attention to this first. The girl and the boy will not be able to get the money when they get married."

"That's it."

Everyone is talking.

"Come on, let's talk about it now. The money from my family's trash is donated to the clan. The clan elder said that it won't be distributed to everyone. The ancestral hall has not been repaired for many years. I plan to repair it. Let's repair the ancestral graves as well. Let's see if I can use this little money. If we can’t have any leftovers, let’s buy a few stalls at the pier and let the big guys run the stalls to make money, and the stalls will be rented to the clan, okay?”

"Zhong, they are all for the clan, and we listen to the elders of the clan. We have no objection."

If you have any objections to the construction of ancestral tombs, we are building the tombs of the ancestors of everyone in Lijia Village. If you have any objections, they will be kicked out.

"There are five stalls with people named outside the stalls, and the remaining five are for the Li family. I don't have any objection."

Uncle Li looked around the audience.

"No objection, we are all from the same village, we can't keep excluding people."

"I don't have any objections. Let's just settle it. This is what my bad guy spends his money on. I'll make a note of it."

Uncle Li and other villagers all nodded, and then recorded something in the genealogy log, indicating that the money donated by their house was used to build the ancestral hall and ancestral tombs, and contribute to the clan.

"The money from Hui's training is mainly used to buy horses and martial arts masters. This martial arts master has also been invited back for everyone. Everyone has seen in the past two months that he has practiced well. We will continue to invest in this area in the future. Money, so I won’t share the money with everyone, and the money from Clan Academy will always be invested in Clan Academy and will not be distributed to anyone.”

"clear."

The villagers all nodded. Now the ethnic schools are getting better and better, and everyone is happy and supportive regardless of money. The children have learned real skills, and the girls can get good husbands, so there is nothing to complain about.

"The only thing left is to buy musical instruments and tea art. These courses are mainly for girls. We will buy everything that needs to be bought and let my Xiu'er teach the girls skills. I won't win."

"middle."

"Xiu Niang has devoted all her efforts for our village. We can't forget her. Village chief, how should we divide the accounts of the weaving workshop? We can't lose her. Xiu Niang's should be calculated separately and written in the contract. Don't mess up the accounts. , we old ladies are not easy to fool."

Xiuniang has been taking care of poor old ladies and aunts, as well as children, for many years. This is what the original owner has been doing for many years. Everyone respects her very much, and no one begrudges her for the extra money she gets.

Uncle Li showed a pleased smile, "Don't worry, you can't lose her. The Zhou family will come to discuss the details of the contract in a few days. The Zhou family has also contributed money. There are still many things to discuss here."
