He shouted to the old lady Bai: "Shut up, you, tell me how these thirty taels were saved, what is the revenue in the field in a year, the expenses of the family, and how much can be saved in a year? Silver, how long the silver has been saved in total, make it clear."
Mrs. Bai is anxious. Although she is in charge, she hasn’t calculated this account. She only knows that every time she collects it, she will leave some food for her family, and the rest can be sold for two or three taels, deducting the family’s expenses. There is almost no money left for Xiaofeng to study. Where can I save any money
She has saved most of her life in that small box, but she only saved a few taels of silver. Last time she was wounded by Zhao Lan, it had already cost her two taels of silver, and the silver in the box was about to bottom out.
Seeing Granny Bai's mouth open and speechless, Liu's heart was also anxious, so he hurriedly pulled the sleeves of her husband next to him, and asked him to speak quickly to relieve the siege.
After all, Bai Dazhu is a man and the eldest son of the family. Although he was a little confused when seeing the official, he couldn't see his old lady being forced to speak, but he would just be a turtle.
Bai Dazhu coughed softly and said to Meng Nan: "My lord, the thirty taels of silver in our family are not saved in a day or two. It has been more than ten years before we have such a savings. Our Bai family There are five acres of fertile land and two acres of sandy land. The annual grain can be sold for a few taels of silver, except for what you want to eat. The family eats frugally, and finally saved the silver. I intended to tell my eldest son. Use it for yourself."
Meng Nan's expression was still, and she only said quietly, "So, these thirty taels of silver, did you save little by little?"
Bai Dazhu nodded quickly: "Exactly."
"Then your thirty taels of silver, are they silver bills or broken silver? Or silver ingots?"
Bai Dazhu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Master Meng to ask this question. What should he say? Bai Dazhu hurriedly looked at Granny Bai and asked her for help.
At this time, Old Lady Bai had already set her mind, knowing that this lie must be rounded up, otherwise, it would not be possible to simply make a mistake.
The old lady Bai answered, "There are both, broken silver, and silver ingots. How many are there. I'm confused, and I haven't counted them."
When the villagers around the courtyard heard these words, they shook their heads, and some people lowered their voices.
"This old woman is really shameless, and this kind of remarks can be said. Because of her virtue of loving money like life, the silver she saves can't be counted every day, don't you know how many silver ingots are there?"
Meng Nan turned to look at Bai Zhi, and asked, "How about you? May prove the origin of these thirty taels of silver?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, the money belongs to Uncle Hub. Naturally, Uncle Hub can prove it."
Last night they had a good conversation, and they naturally knew what to say and what not to say in front of the official.
Uncle Hu stepped forward and said to Meng Nan: "My lord, it is true that the villain's family is poor, and he has not saved up any money before. But not long ago, the villain's son Hu Feng was lucky enough to dig one while hunting in the mountains. Ginseng, the young man entrusted the ginseng to the village doctor Lu and asked him to help sell some money to supplement his family."
Meng Nan raised her eyebrows, "Oh? How much did you sell?"
Huber said: "A total of two hundred taels of silver was sold. The doctor can testify about this matter."
Two hundred taels of silver? A ginseng sold for two hundred taels
