Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 31 Unexpected Disaster, Absolutely A Disaster From Heaven!

As soon as Yin Tao's voice fell, Yin Dajiang and the other three brothers shook their heads like rattles, especially Yin Dashui, who shook his head so hard that it felt like his cheeks were about to be shaken off by him.

"no, I'm fine."

"Teaching people is tiring, but I can't tire you, Yaomeier."

"Yes, yes, we are big bosses, we don't need to learn those."

Yin Tao is very considerate: "I'm not tired, and it's quite simple after mastering the method."

After she finished speaking, she found that the faces of the three brothers were even more depressed.

Mrs. Xu cursed in a low voice: "You worthless bastard, a bunch of cowards." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the old man with disgust, the meaning on her face was very obvious: Dad is a coward.

Old man: ...

Who did he provoke?
"Tao'er, don't worry about them, they're all losers with sticks, they're stupid as hell...you don't have to be mad at yourself!"

Yin Tao: ...

"Grandma... Big brother, they are not losers." All the work in the fields in the family is done by a few men. During the slack season, a few men even go to the town and county to find money to support the family. It has nothing to do with losers. .

Besides, in a feudal society... Isn't the mainstream consciousness among the people saying that more children are more blessings, and sons are all babies?
Yin Gui, Yin Dajiang and others all cast grateful glances at Yin Tao, it's better to be a daughter (sister).

Mrs. Xu said disdainfully: "Tao'er, you don't understand, come on, grandma will talk to you.

Our family originally bought [-] mu of fertile land, but later I gave birth to two unworthy children, and the family divided up [-] mu of land.

This one-hundred-acre property turned into fifty mu in a blink of an eye.

Well, the two are finished and the other has three. You say, if the family is divided again, the property will become more than ten acres of land.

Waiting for the grandchildren, great-grandchildren to divide... How much money is there in the family?
This end is the tent on the field.

Let’s talk about their account of getting married and marrying a daughter-in-law. The betrothal gift is no less than eight taels per person, and at least two taels for buying banquets, plus buying household items and clothes... and two more taels...

You do the math...

What are these dumb things that are not money-losing goods?

In addition to these, the annual small mouth tax is very big. If it is a girl, it is different. First, it does not pay the small mouth tax, and second, when it is older, it will be married.

Some people give a dowry, and some people who are stingy just don’t give a dowry as long as the dowry..."

When the old man heard this, he took a meaningful look at Mrs. Xu, rolled in his throat twice before swallowing with a 'hum hum' sound.

"I think back then, when my parents were alive, didn't I send back the meat I ate?

Didn't I prepare the winter clothes and send them back?

Those few unlucky elder brothers of mine can feed the old man some miso and hang their lives.

Look at your sisters-in-law again, who didn't take back the money they saved to fill up their mother's family?
When I die in the future, the husband's family will be in charge of the funeral, and the grave of my mother's family will not even be touched.

Tell me, tell me, is it the girl who loses money or the boy who loses money? "

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Guo were pointed out by Mrs. Xu about helping their mother's family, their faces were embarrassed, and their faces turned red with embarrassment.

They all buried their heads in the rice, not even daring to lift their heads.

Yin Tao smiled awkwardly: "Hehe...boy." Her grandma has a really unique vision. She is an outstanding figure who is at the forefront of the times. If she is placed in modern times, she might be the leading soul of feminism.

Mrs. Xu couldn't stop the car after she started talking: "For so many years, the family has more and more children, more and more extravagant expenses, but less and less income.

Ouch... What's the use of having a son?
It's not as good as a raw piece of barbecued pork, but you can still sell it for a few dollars! "

"If our family adds a few more boys...hehe, maybe the whole family will have to drink northwest wind!"

(Several men in the second room next door sneezed on the dining table one after another, why is their nose itchy.)
Yin Tao thought for a while, knowledge can change one's destiny, the men of Yin's family have never been educated, and they don't earn much money just by working hard.

"Grandmother, how much does the accountant in the county make a month?" Yin Tao asked Xu.

Xu said: "The small account room costs two taels of silver a month, and the big account room costs five taels of silver a month!"

Mrs. Guo calculated in her heart how many handkerchiefs she would have to embroider for two liang of silver... Three copper plates for one, ten for thirty copper plates, one hundred for three hundred copper plates, and one thousand for three thousand copper plates, which means three taels. silver……

Hey, she has to embroider for three taels of silver for a year!
Then it fell into her hands with only one or two halves, and the accountant could earn two and a half a month! ! !
She glanced at Yin Dajiang sadly, and then cast her fiery eyes on Youdi. Dajiang can't be used as an accountant, but Youdi can!

My sister-in-law is so powerful, if she can teach Youdi as well as she does... Will Youdi be able to work as an accountant in the county?

Youdi trembled in fright from his mother's hot gaze, feeling that he was the dish on that plate, and his mother was going to swallow him in one gulp the next moment.

very scary.

Somehow leaned against Yin Dajiang's side.

"Then how much is our family's total annual income?" Yin Tao continued to ask.

"All the odds and ends can add up to more than 70 taels of silver, and your second uncle's house is about the same. However, it will cost more than [-] taels to eat for this big family. There is not much silver that can be saved, so we have to be careful." The apportionment that pops up from time to time in the yamen, you have to spend money to buy it when you encounter corvee and military service...

Your mother still has to take medicine, and if the family saves five taels of silver throughout the year, it will be a high incense. "

After finishing speaking, Xu Shi seemed to have realized something, she stared at Yin Tao: "Tao'er, you are a girl, and the store does not accept women as bookkeepers."

In Daliang, the jobs that women can do are embroidery, starch washing, cooks, maids, nurses, or the unseen work of silver pine... No one would hire a woman for such an important job as an accountant that manages money. .

"Grandma, I have no real idea, but my brothers have learned to work as accountants, and they must earn more than they do now. The three brothers can earn at least 72 taels a year." The annual income of Yin's family is higher than that of today.

After hearing Yin Tao's words, Yin Dajiang and the others lowered their heads in unison, with shame on their faces.

"It's not that these elm bumps have never been taught, your mother taught them before, but they don't know what to do.

I also made you sick for a while.

Tao'er, you don't care about them, they have been like this for the rest of their lives, there is no way out. "

The three brothers buried their heads even deeper.

"Just like their father and grandpa, they're all kiddies!"

Yin Gui: ...

He knew that when the old lady ran on someone, she would never leave him behind!

The old man felt uncomfortable, he coughed twice: "Eat, the food is cold."

"That's it...then grandma, I'll teach Youdi from tomorrow on. Anyway, I'm idle." If the older ones can't do it, the younger ones can come. She can't do much for the Yin family. Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish.

Guo Shi's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she was afraid that Xu Shi would say no, so she hurriedly said before Xu Shi: "Then thank you, Meier, for your trouble!"

Different from Guo's excitement, the children turned pale and looked at Yin Tao in horror.
