Nongmenfu girl's daily life

Chapter 587 The Money Sent Back in the Past Three Years
In the barracks of the border town, the situation changed suddenly.

Beijing, push hands to help.

Soon, the sky will change.

General Wu died, and General Gu took over as General.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with the rural village. The village received the news of Da Tou Daddy's death as scheduled.

After the old lady got the news of her death, she felt indescribably complicated in her heart. It was her child who was conceived in October, but her heart was originally biased, not in the middle, but on the left.

How could she hold a bowl of water level.

There is always a son I like and a son I don't like.

When the news of the conscription came, she naturally chose the most unpleasant son to send out.

But when the news of her son's death came, she felt another feeling in her heart. She felt reluctant and regretted that she didn't use money to send someone to serve as a soldier instead of her son.

In fact, she had ten taels of silver in her hand at that time, as long as she paid the money, the fourth son would not have to be a soldier.

It's just that she only had ten taels of silver in her hand at that time, and she had a big family. She couldn't starve everyone to death just to keep a son.

Along with the urn, there was also a money bag.

The old lady opened the purse and saw that it was not silver, but a golden ingot.

In the past three years, Shiro has sent home a lot of money, from one tael at the beginning, to ten taels later, and then 30 taels, 50 taels in the second year... There was even one time in the third year, when he sent back 100 taels. Two silver bills.

She didn't know what her son had done and how he could get so much silver. There were other sons in the village who were sent to serve as soldiers, and they could only send one or two taels of silver to their families every month.

It seems that the military salary is only one tael of silver a month.

But her son was in a bad situation, and there were a total of more than 500 taels of silver.

This time, there were actually ten 20 taels of gold ingots in the money bag, a total of 200 taels of gold, that is, 2000 taels of silver.

Too much money is hot.

She's just an old lady from the countryside, she can't stand things, and she's a little panicked.

While the fourth daughter-in-law was out to do farm work, she called the eldest daughter-in-law and asked her to call back the whole family, except for Shiro's family.

Gu Tai cut to the point: "Over the years, Shiro sent a lot of money back."

Mrs. Gu was surprised and said: "Mother, didn't you say that the fourth brother only sent back a few copper coins each time?"

The second sister-in-law Gu is a discerning person, and she immediately understood that the old lady was a fool before.

Gu Tai said with a sullen face: "That's because there is too much money, I dare not say it, for fear that you will spread the word."

Mrs. Gu was surprised: "Too much money? Isn't he just a small soldier? How much money can he have? The son of the Wang family in the village has also joined the army. Isn't it said that the monthly salary of the soldier is only one or two taels of silver?"

"A tael of silver is quite a lot, is it more than a few copper plates?" said the second sister-in-law Gu.

The third sister-in-law pursed her lips and watched the two sister-in-laws play without saying a word.

Gu Tai pulled a long face, "Boss, second child, take care of your daughters-in-law, let the old lady finish talking before interrupting!"

Gu Gu stared at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu dared not speak out.

Gu Er glared at Gu Ersao, but was stared back, but Gu Ersao didn't speak anymore.

Only then did the old lady open a wooden box, and when it was opened, the main room was instantly illuminated. The whole box of silver and gold ingots was neatly placed.

After a rough calculation, it would cost at least 500 taels.

Mrs. Gu covered her mouth, so she didn't exclaim out loud.

The second sister-in-law Gu was so stunned that she couldn't even make a sound.

The third sister-in-law Gu was the most calm, and she spoke at this time: "Mother, this is what the fourth brother sent back? What did he do, don't do things that are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, in exchange for so much money."
