Bai Erlang was stunned, Man Bao didn't mention it, he really didn't think about this question.
Bai Erlang had new troubles, and immediately put the depression of not being able to go to Yizhou to the back of his mind.
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he could only ask his two friends anxiously, "What do you think should be done?"
Bai Shanbao said: "If you don't give it, will your mother still grab it?"
Anyway, as long as he insists, his mother can't do anything about him.
Seeing the worry on Bai Erlang's face, Bai Shanbao thought about it seriously and said: "Go to your father and ask him to help you."
Man Bao also nodded, and then said in a low voice: "I can't go to your grandmother."
Bai Shanbao nodded approvingly.
"If my mother and grandmother don't agree, my father won't help me." Bai Erlang expressed doubts about their ideas.
"Listen to me. That's right. You may still have 50% chance of going to your uncle, but you may lose 10% of your chance if you go to your uncle's grandmother." Bai Shanbao added after thinking for a while: "If Tang uncle doesn't Promise, you just say that Man Bao and I hold all the money by ourselves, and we have to pay for some big money that will be used in the village in the future."
"Hey, didn't you agree that it would come from your family?"
Man Bao: "You are so stupid, this is just an excuse, as long as your father believes it."
Bai Erlang nodded reluctantly, "Then, then I'll call someone to help me bring the silver back? Or, I'd better take half of it back first, and I'll take the other half after my father agrees."
Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao and said, "Can you keep the other half of the money for me first?"
Bai Shanbao said no problem.
Man Bao also took her own money home, but the silver was too heavy. For the first time, she only put 20 in the back basket, and then walked home after carrying it.
The people in the old Zhou family were busy with each other. Man Bao went home with a basket on his back. Everyone didn't pay attention to it for a while, until Man Bao carried a basket on his back, and Xiaoqian asked: "Man Bao , why are you going?"
"I'll go to Shanbao's house to get something."
"Then come back soon, I've already started cooking," Xiaoqian said with a smile, "Today, Dad ordered the chicken to be killed and bought meat."
Man Bao responded, and ran away as soon as he went out.
When she arrived at Bai's house, she returned Bai Shanbao's pannier, and took her own to put silver ingots in. She put twenty in it, looked at the remaining nine, and stuffed another one in it hesitantly.
Bai Shanbao asked, "Can you finish memorizing it? Can't you make another trip?"
"My house is going to eat."
"Then let me take it for you." Bai Shanbao also took his own pannier for help, Man Bao gave him his own pannier, "This one is heavier, you can carry this, I will carry yours."
Bai Shanbao thought he was older than her and a boy, so he didn't refuse.
Man Bao happily put the remaining eight silver ingots into the back basket, thought for a while, and took out five more from him. He felt that this was just right, so he carried it and looked at him.
Seeing the two children going to Manbao's room with their backs on their backs, the people from the old Zhou's family couldn't help being curious, "What are they carrying?"
The first few who had the best time with Man Bao immediately followed up to see. Wu Wulang was squatting under the eaves waiting for dinner, so he also followed after seeing this.
Liu Liulang followed up early, and even reached out to lift Man Bao, "What's in the basket?"
Everyone talked and rushed into Man Bao's room, Man Bao opened the cloth covering the bamboo basket, and the dubbing of "Dang Dang Dang" said: "Look!"
Zhou Liulang's eyes widened, and so did the big heads, who couldn't help but let out a "wow" together. When Zhou Wulang squeezed up to look at it, he was stunned and asked stammeringly: "This, this, my sister, Man Bao, What did you do, how did you get back so much money?"
Man Bao was unhappy, and said: "I earned this all."
"Huh? How did you earn it?"
In Lao Zhou's family, only Qian was the only one who knew that Man Bao and Bai Shanbao Bai Erlang exchanged wheat with the villagers and sold it to Master Bai. He made a line and sold his own wheat seeds to Master Bai at a high price.
Man Bao also reacted belatedly, it seems that he hasn't told his father about it yet.
Man Bao immediately covered the money, and said to a group of friends with a serious face: "This is our secret, you must not tell the adults!"
Not to mention Friday Lang and Saturday Lang, even the younger ones were worried, "Sister, you have too much money, you have to tell the adults."
"No!" Man Bao took out his trump card, "Your private money is still in my hands. I never said anything when your parents asked me."
"But… "
Wu Wulang asked: "Man Bao, how did you earn this money, do your parents know?"
Man Bao pointed to his fingers and said guiltily: "Only mother knows, father doesn't."
Zhou Wulang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Mother really knows?"
Man Bao nodded, "Of course!"
Zhou Wulang remembered that his mother was unwilling to exchange wheat yesterday, and even had a fight with his father because of this. It seems that his mother knew about it a long time ago.
Wu Wulang nodded readily, "Okay, let's not talk about it."
The others were not fools either, they understood as soon as they heard it, and they all covered their mouths and laughed.
Only Erya was more worried, "Sister-in-law, is it safe for you to keep so much money in the house?"
"Do thieves still dare to sneak into our house?" Man Bao said, "I have six older brothers!"
Er Ya: "... No, Grandpa will go to the rooms of the Fifth and Sixth Uncles..."
Wu Wulang waved his hand, and said with great reassurance: "Father won't come to check my sister's room, do you think the private money we put in her has been checked?"
This is true, from Zhou Wulang down to the youngest Sitou who can run and dance, all their private money is in the hands of Man Bao. This matter is an open secret in the old Zhou's family, but no one has come to check A room full of treasures.
Old Zhou Tou would ask Man Bao a question from time to time, but he never checked her room.
Er Ya thought about it and nodded, that's right, there is a clear division of labor in the family, the eldest aunt and sister-in-law are under the care of grandma, while her father and uncles are under the care of grandpa.
For some reason, Arya suddenly sympathized with her father and uncles.
There was another little friend with a common secret, and they gathered together to count Manbao's silver ingots. They were so envious. They were curious about how Manbao made money.
Man Bao said: "We also sold the wheat seeds to Master Bai."
Wu Wulang couldn't help being speechless, "Wheat seeds make so much money, so can we still sell this season's spring wheat after we harvest it?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Looking back at the situation, if our wheat harvest is good, it should be fine."
Datou was thoughtful, "It turns out that what my father said is true, farming well can really make money."
"Of course we can make money," Wu Wulang said, "If you can't make money, how did your grandma raise us?"
