"What do you think?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu doubtfully.
Mr. Xu chuckled and said, "Daughter-in-law, you see, the county magistrate is planning to award our family a hundred taels of silver. As for me, I am afraid that the tree will attract wind, so I asked the county to give us the money to build the road!"
"That's right, it's pretty good!"
Mrs. Xu is not a short-sighted person, and she also understands what this sudden wealth means. It is indeed good to spend your money in another way.
On the one hand, they earned a good reputation with the county magistrate; on the other hand, the people in the village also had to remember their good deeds.
Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot, you can always earn it in the future, and it won’t be too eye-catching.
"It's so good!"
Mr. Xu grimaced, "That's one hundred taels! How long does it take for our family to save this money?"
"What's wrong? Do you regret it?"
When Mrs. Xu saw Mr. Xu's appearance, she frowned and said, "Master, you can't be blinded by money. We took this money, it's really hot!"
"I know!"
Mr. Xu was still a little unwilling, "So, I was wondering if I could find another way to earn this money back!"
"Do you have any idea?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu intently.
Mr. Xu smiled so loudly that he whispered: "Didn't I go into the mountains today to find wood to build a house? When I came back, you didn't see that the pheasant was going blind. It flew all over me. And the rabbit hit the tree stump with one end."
"Oh, by the way, there's also that wild ginseng tree. I just found it after I fell down!"
"You tell me, our family is so lucky. Otherwise, starting from tomorrow, I will take the eldest and second eldest son into the mountains. What do you think?"
"I can pull you down!"
Mrs. Xu didn't even think about it and slapped her on the edge of the bed.
"Master, you have lost your mind!"
"In this life, blessings and luck are all limited. How long can our family's good luck last if we squander it like you do?"
"Besides, the three of you have gained something by going to the mountains. What do others think?"
"The big tree attracts the wind, are you stupid?"
Old Mrs. Xu showed no mercy to Mr. Xu at all, and kept mumbling about him.
"Master, I told you that starting tomorrow, you, the boss, and the second boss are not allowed to go anywhere else except to the back mountain to chop some firewood!"
"The third child will die again next year. We have to save up this blessing!"
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it!"
Mr. Xu is so aggrieved. Doesn't he just want to take advantage of his good luck to get more wealth? What does it mean that the blessings in a person's life are countless
However, when faced with his angry wife, Mr. Xu could only listen obediently.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and pregnant women are the biggest.
At this moment, Mr. Xu even choked the old lady twice and had to think over and over again, lest he make the old lady angry.
…
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Mr. Xu slept until about three o'clock in the morning.
The old man who was scolded just yesterday has decisively started living the life of a leisurely old man today.
Chopping firewood
Not interested in.
With two sons so big, is it difficult to pack some firewood for the winter
However, it is not that simple for Mr. Xu to be idle.
When it was time for lunch, Cunzhengguan Lao Qi ran to Lao Xu's house. (End of chapter)
