Yun Xi thought for a moment, turned around, and walked towards her house.
The Ji family has four adobe houses, a kitchen, and a woodshed.
Among the four adobe houses, mother-in-law Li and Ji Wan lived in one, she lived in another, Ji Jiuye and Ji Yong lived in one, and the remaining one contained miscellaneous things.
Ji Wan and Ji Yong are Yaya and Erbao. Because they are still young, the family usually calls them by their nicknames.
Yun Xi returned to the room, took out a small box from the cabinet, found a small key under the bed, and opened the box.
Inside the box were several small silver ingots and some copper plates and silver hairpins. These were the dowry and dowry of the original owner, and were all her private money.
When the Ji family hired him, they gave him three taels of silver, some cloth, rice noodles, oily meat pastries, sugar, and the like.
In the village, most of the farmers hired people with one or two taels, so the Ji family's three taels was not too small, but rather decent.
At first, the Yun family kept all the food and cloth and made clothes for their daughter. The three taels of silver from the Ji family were also secretly given to their daughter when she got married.
In addition, the Yun family also gave their daughter a dowry of twenty taels and two silver hairpins.
Yun Xiucai was famous and did not have to pay taxes. Instead, she received subsidies from the court every year. In addition, Mrs. Yun was good at embroidery, so although her family had no land, they lived a relatively comfortable life.
The couple only has one daughter, and their son is still young, only a few years old. Therefore, when their daughter gets married, they are quite willing to buy a dowry.
Now, Yun Xi has twenty-three taels of silver in her hands. The three silver hairpins given by the Yun family and the Ji family probably weigh a few taels, so they amount to thirty taels.
The system saw that the original owner was holding on to the thirty taels of silver, and the whole system was extremely complicated.
[Host, there are several mountains of these things in my space. How about I just move one out for you?]
"No need," Yun Xi took out all the money from the box and said, "Each dynasty has its own economic system, and we must not disrupt it."
This world is already lacking in supplies. If she invests a lot of money and buys on a large scale, it will definitely disrupt the economic system and cause inflation.
At that time, people with money will not be able to buy goods, and goods will increase dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times, and the people who have no money will suffer.
The common people today are already suffering enough.
system:…
He found that the host had become much more caring since coming to the small world. He wondered if it was influenced by a great country of a certain era.
The previous host would never consider other people's feelings. What does the life and death of ordinary people have to do with her
Yun Xi collected the money and went out of the room. After leaving, Mrs. Li was busy chopping wood, swinging the ax vigorously with her slender arms.
Li is not very old, only thirty-two years old this year, but due to the hard work of life, her waist has become bent, and white hair even appears on her temples. She looks to be in her forties.
"Mom, let me do it."
Yun Xi walked to her side and spoke softly.
Hearing her voice, Mrs. Li stopped, looked at her in surprise, and couldn't help but doubt her ears.
Did she hear it correctly
The eldest daughter-in-law just called her mother
"I was wrong before, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
As if she didn't notice Li's surprise, Yun Xi smiled softly and took the ax from her hand.
Mrs. Li hurriedly came to her senses. She was no longer surprised at Yun Xi's change, and eagerly grabbed the ax in Yun Xi's hand.
"Give me the ax quickly. Your hands are white and delicate. How can you do this?"
Although she didn't know what Yun Xi wanted to do, Li didn't believe that she could really chop wood.
The pampered daughter of a scholar's family looks weak and weak. How can she do such rough work
Yun Xiucai and his wife were good people, and she didn't want her in-laws to think that she treated their daughter harshly.
What's more, this eldest daughter-in-law is really too abnormal. She usually doesn't help the oil bottle when it's poured, and looks at her as a mother-in-law who doesn't like her. Now she's apologizing and taking the initiative to do the work, not to mention hitting her again. What the hell is that
Li's heart was beating wildly, and she was very uneasy.
She was really scared of being tormented by this eldest daughter-in-law.
"I can do it. I am very strong. Mom is watching in disbelief. I must be able to chop faster than mom."
Yun Xi's voice was soft and soft, and she pushed Li away.
Hearing this, Ms. Li's eyes widened even more. This time she heard clearly that the eldest daughter-in-law really called her mother, twice in a row.
Could it be that the eldest daughter-in-law is possessed by evil spirits
Ms. Li was even more confused and didn't know what to do. The eldest daughter-in-law suddenly changed her appearance, which made her feel better.
At the moment when she was dazed, Yun Xi took the ax and raised it with her hand. With a click, the dry firewood was split into two halves. There was no more or less on either side, as if it had been measured, completely. The same thickness.
system:…
Come on, no, Di Ji is chopping firewood in the small world!
Even Mrs. Li was stunned. The eldest daughter-in-law looked so weak and frail. Could she be so strong
The ax split such a thick piece of firewood in half. It seemed that the eldest daughter-in-law wasn't bragging when she said she could chop it faster than her.
"Hey, Xi Niang, give me the axe. There isn't much firewood, so I'll just chop it. Although I'm not as fast as you, I can still finish it. You go and sit next to it."
After regaining consciousness, Li walked beside Yun Xi and spoke softly.
Although she already knew that Yun Xi could chop firewood, Yun Xi was too abnormal. If she really asked Yun Xi to chop firewood, she would feel very uneasy.
Also, Yun Xi’s hands were white and tender, just like her mother, born to hold embroidery needles. Mrs. Li really couldn’t bear to let such beautiful hands chop firewood, and gradually they became just like hers, with hands full of embroidery needles. Calluses.
"It's okay, Mom, I can do it. After I finish chopping it early, I still need to trouble Mom to accompany me to the town."
Yun Xi chopping firewood tenaciously, one ax at a time, her movements were fast and beautiful, and she had an aura about her that made Mrs. Li's eyes widen.
It's really strange. My eldest daughter-in-law is so good-looking, how come she can chop wood better than others
She belatedly heard Yun Xi's words, "Are you going to town?"
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows in surprise. It was almost afternoon now and it was getting late.
"Well," Yun Xi responded softly and said, "I want to go buy something."
"Okay, then my mother will go with you later."
Mrs. Li didn't ask her what she was going to buy. She patted her chest and agreed.
The eldest daughter-in-law seemed to have changed in an instant. Mrs. Li secretly thought in her heart that if it had been before, how could the eldest daughter-in-law tell her when she went to town, let alone let her accompany her.
