Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 18 Cash Register

While talking, Mr. Tang took out a tael of silver from the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, took it out, and put it on the small wooden table used for eating in the stove house.

"Copper coins are too heavy and eye-catching. Last time I went to the town, I deliberately exchanged all the private money I saved over the years into broken silver. But if you want to use it, it is more convenient to use copper coins."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted by the silver on the small wooden table, Mr. Tang said as if mocking himself.

Of course, he did not tell Tang Kun's family that his private money was originally prepared for his youngest son Tang Yu.Tang Yu is going to study in the town, and there must be a lot of places where money is needed...

What he wanted was to try to make Tang Yu and the other people who were studying together look like there was not too much difference.He didn't want Tang Yu to feel inferior because he had no money.

But when he saw Tang Kun's family who were struggling with food and clothing, the balance in his heart was still in favor of Tang Kun's family after all.

He can't ignore the life and death of Tang Kun's family just because of Tang Yu's face...

Although Tang Yu is his favorite old man, Tang Kun's family is also his blood and blood.

No matter how biased he is, he can't just watch Tang Kun lead his family to eat sweet potatoes every day...

"Father, it's not easy for you to save some money these years. I...I can't use your pension money. Don't worry, there are more than 20 eggs saved at home. I asked Chestnut's mother to cook a few eggs every day for Chestnut. You should take this money back..."

Both Tang Kun and the Zhao family were stunned by Mr. Tang's sudden withdrawal of money.

However, they reacted quickly. After looking at each other, they were rejected by Tang Kun without hesitation.

Both of them are honest people with solid eyes.

Just now, Mr. Tang exempted part of their "filial piety", and now he pays them, how can they accept it...

"Since I gave it to you, I will accept it with all my heart. Besides, don't I still have your brothers in my pension? Could it be that I will starve to death without this two taels of silver..."

Mr. Tang hated iron not being steel very much.

He doesn't understand that he brings up all children the same way.Why are Tang Yue and Tang Wei so active in their minds?But Tang Kun and Tang Lian are all one-sided?

To be honest, Tang Lian married a thoughtful wife, but the Zhao family Tang Kun married had a personality similar to Tang Kun's, and they were all people who could suffer.

Thinking of this, Mr. Tang was suddenly curious. Today Tang Kun suddenly went to the town to inquire where did Tang Yue and Zhang's idea come from?He knew very well that this was definitely not the idea of ​​the honest couple in front of him...

"Father, no matter what, we can't accept this money. The little brother will go to the town to study soon, or the money will be reserved for the little brother to study..."

Tang Kun is worthy of being a person with one intestine to the end. The things he has decided are useless no matter how others persuade him.

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I'll put the money in Chestnut's hands, and you all listen to her how to use it."

Mr. Tang looked at Tang Lier, who was listening to them with wide eyes, and suddenly had a thought, and directly stuffed the one tael of silver into Tang Lier's hand.

He thought that he might have found the real reason why Tang Kun suddenly went to the town to inquire about the news today...

"Thank you, grandpa. But my father is right, we can't take your money. Or, the one tael of silver is a loan from my father and me? When we have money, we will secretly return it to you?"

Tang Lier looked at the silver in his hand curiously.

Is this the common currency in ancient times?
She used to be a silver lover and bought a lot of silver jewelry.However, this trip did not bring any of them.

It really hurts to think about it...

"Okay, even if Chestnut borrowed it. I'll wait for our Chestnut to secretly pay me back. Haha..."

Mr. Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bad bamboos produce good bamboo shoots, and Tang Kun's family finally has a child who is quick-minded but can hold his own bottom line.He was very sure that Tang Kun was definitely Tang Lier who suggested Tang Kun go to the town to inquire about news today...

Mr. Tang laughed and walked out of Tang Kun's kitchen door. Tang Kun and Mrs. Zhao quickly got up to see them off.

"Grandpa, go slowly!"

Tang Lier also waved excitedly at Mr. Tang along with her siblings.

Tang Kun originally wanted Tang Lier to return the silver in his hand to Mr. Tang, but seeing Tang Lier's "distressed" expression, he misunderstood...

He thought Tang Lier couldn't bear to part with the one tael of silver that he had.

He thought, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the rice is harvested, he will go to the town to find more jobs, and he will collect enough money to pay back to Mr. Tang sooner.

"Chestnut, you give the money to your mother, tell your mother what you want to eat these days, and ask her to buy it for you..."

Tang Kun sent Mr. Tang away, and when he came back, he saw that Tang Lier was still looking at the money, so he spoke with a bit of a headache.

Why didn't he see before that his second daughter was actually a "money fan"?Looking at her small eyes looking at the silver, she looks like a "little money fan"...

"Father, grandpa just said, put this money in my hands, and I will arrange how to use it. Sister, please lend me a purse..."

Tang Li'er did not hand over the money to Mrs. Zhao.

For the money, she did have an arrangement in mind.

One tael of gold is converted into RMB about 2000 yuan, which is equal to ten taels of silver.One tael of silver is equivalent to two hundred yuan, and one copper coin is equal to two cents.With the memories of the original owner's previous life, she knew that the thinnest meat buns in the town can be bought with only two copper coins...

Two hundred yuan, no, one tael of silver is in her hands, if she doesn't turn it into two thousand yuan, no, ten taels of silver, she is not Tang Lier...

Tang Lier secretly made up her mind.

Tang Xinger foolishly handed Tang Lier the [-]% new purse she embroidered on her waist.

Tang Li'er calmly tied the pouch that Tang Xing'er handed her, then put the one tael of silver into the pouch, and tied it securely around her waist.

"Chestnut, what your grandfather said was a joke..."

Seeing Tang Lier's skillful collection of money, Mrs. Zhao's mouth twitched suspiciously.She felt that her posture must be wrong when entering the door, otherwise, how could she see Tang Lier receiving the money into her purse so neatly...

No, a borrowed purse.

Tang Li'er can't embroider purses by herself.

"Father, mother, don't worry. I will never use this money indiscriminately. Father, we had lunch today, and our family went to the chestnut tree to pick up chestnuts. The more we picked, the better. I will be useful. Tomorrow morning , you take me to the town, let's inspect the market first, I'm going to the town to sell chestnuts."

With the capital needed for doing business in hand, Tang Lier's heart immediately relaxed, and her tone of voice also relaxed.

"Picking chestnuts is fine. However, there are a lot of people selling chestnuts in the town these days. Chestnuts are really hard to sell..."
