Chapter 144 I have money too?
After the two men came out of the village chief's house, they went back to their own homes and found their own wives.
Of course, counting money is inevitable.
After Zhao Guocheng returned home, he took out a bag of silver. There were four people in his family, and more than 120 taels of silver was a lot.
"This trip was really worth it." Zhao Guocheng was very satisfied.
"This time it's all thanks to our Nannan. If it weren't for Nannan who sensed the danger in advance, how could you have such good luck? You would probably have been accidentally injured by the black bear, which was too dangerous." Wang Ronghua said.
"Yes, that's what you said." Zhao Guocheng nodded.
"Dad, will there be a share of the money for me?" Zhao Shiying suddenly looked at Zhao Guocheng expectantly.
The question confused both of them.
"What do you want the money for?" Zhao Guocheng said.
"I need money to open a shop," Zhao Shiying said loudly.
Everyone in the house was shocked.
Open a shop???
Wang Ronghua couldn't help but think of the time when Nannan said she wanted to open a grocery store in Wangjia Village. Could it be that...
"Nannan, are you sure you want to open a shop?" Zhao Guocheng looked at Zhao Shiying in surprise.
"Of course, I'll open a shop and let my grandmother help run it, so that she can get a share of the money I earn," said Zhao Shiying.
"That won't work. How can your grandmother have the time to run the store for you? That's definitely not possible." Wang Ronghua absolutely disagreed.
"Then I'll find someone trustworthy in the village to run it together, and ask my grandparents to help me supervise. Is that okay?" Zhao Shiying tilted her head, blinked, thought for a while and said.
"You're such a clever fellow, I can't argue with you. Opening a store is not as easy as you think." Wang Ronghua shook his head.
"Then I don't care. I'll just be a hands-off boss. I have to open this store, so, can Daddy give me some money?" Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Guocheng expectantly.
Zhao Guocheng looked at Wang Ronghua, and Wang Ronghua glared at Zhao Guocheng.
Zhao Guocheng smiled and said, "Of course, this time the prey is calculated by head, and everyone has a share, 31 taels of silver each, and 2 taels of silver because we four grown men have put in a lot of effort, so each of us will get an extra half a tael of silver, do you have any objections to this?" Zhao Guocheng asked.
Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shiying shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had no objections.
Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui had already followed Wang Yueshan to Wangjia Village. When the three-day holiday was over, they would return to school.
"Wow, there are thirty-one taels, what a lot of money!!!" Zhao Shimin exclaimed, very shocked.
"Thirty-one taels of silver, Dad, can I have one too?" Zhao Shiying looked at Zhao Guocheng in surprise, and only cheered when Zhao Guocheng nodded.
"But Shimin stayed at home and didn't go, so she didn't get a share. But she could have gone, so what should we do?" Zhao Guocheng looked at the two of them. The key was that Shengzi and Huizi were not at home yet, so he felt that this was a bit unfair.
"Dad, I'll give my sister ten taels." Zhao Shiying is generous. Although she is a little money-grubber, she will not give less than a penny when it's time to give.
"Then Shengzi and Huizi should each give ten taels of silver to Shimin. I will make the decision for them." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Ah? Then don't I have more than them?" Zhao Shimin was surprised.
The three of them thought about it and realized it was true.
"It doesn't matter if it's as much as you want. I'm the one who's the most tired anyway, so it doesn't matter if I give you a little more," said Zhao Shiying.
"Hahaha... then I'd be taking advantage of you, but that's not okay." Zhao Shimin couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhao Shiying's explanation, and then shook her head.
"How about sister buy us some candy next time we go to the market?" Zhao Shiying said.
"I think it's fine, let's do it this way." Wang Ronghua nodded, thinking that this would be a way to make up for the younger ones.
Zhao Shimin really felt that she didn't deserve it.
"I won't take it. It's too much. I haven't done anything. If everyone gives me five taels, I'll be satisfied," said Zhao Shimin.
"I think it's OK, five taels is fine," Zhao Guocheng finally decided.
Anyway, Shengzi and Huizi are not at home, so we can talk about this when we meet. The money will be kept by Wang Ronghua for the time being.
So another five taels of silver were returned to her, and Zhao Shiying was so happy.
Zhao Shimin was also very happy when she got fifteen taels of silver.
Zhao Guocheng divided the money, leaving only thirty-one and a half taels in his hand, which he immediately gave to Wang Ronghua.
Wang Ronghua smiled, took it and put it away later. This was another source of income for the family.
There were more than ten pounds of pig heads, several sets of pig offal, and three and a half pounds of bear meat left at home.
"Wife, after I deliver the goods tomorrow, I will go to deliver the bear meat to my father-in-law." Zhao Guocheng said as he sat down.
"Okay, let's send the pig into the water at the same time." Wang Ronghua nodded.
"Oh, I see." Zhao Guocheng nodded. In the afternoon, he harvested a lot of mountain products.
The mushrooms have been washed and Wang Ronghua is now preparing to light a fire to make mushroom sauce, while rice is cooking in a pot on the side.
Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shiying happily returned to their room and counted the silver together.
They have never had so much silver in their lives.
Zhao Shiying's eyes were shining. She suddenly had twenty-six taels of silver. This was the silver that belonged to her and her parents would not take it back.
Just thinking about this makes me feel like I have a lot of money.
Then he dug out a half-old purse and stuffed the money into it.
"We have to lock the door when we go out, and carry the key with us. After all, we have a huge sum of money, so we can't open the door casually. We often collect mountain products at home, and people come and go. If someone sneaks in and takes it away, who can we complain to?" Zhao Shimin thought of this problem and reminded Zhao Shiying.
"Sister is right. Since mother has bought a lock, she doesn't need to worry about our room anymore. Let's just lock it." Zhao Shiying nodded.
"Well, I'll tell mom about it when we have dinner later." Zhao Shimin nodded.
When Zhao Shimin mentioned this during dinner, Zhao Guocheng and Wang Ronghua praised her for being thoughtful, after all, her room was often locked.
“By the way, I sent a few pounds of wild boar meat and two large bones to the old house today,” said Wang Ronghua.
"Okay, thank you, my wife." Zhao Guocheng said sincerely.
"Why thank you? This is what I should do." Wang Ronghua smiled and glanced at Zhao Guocheng.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, and the two children made faces at each other.
Fortunately, Wang Ronghua delivered the meat this morning, otherwise Zhao Bai would have come to the end of the village to make trouble again. Of course, she didn't make trouble directly, but she would make trouble if the second son's wife didn't give her meat. As a result, she ran into Wang Ronghua before she even left the house.
Although she complained that the amount was a bit too little, it was good to have something to eat. She kept nagging for a while and even asked how much it sold for. Wang Ronghua dismissed her with the excuse that she had not come back yet.
But Zhao Bai was unwilling to accept this.
Thinking that the second son must have made a lot of money from the sales, he still didn’t even bother to give a little money as a filial gift. How stingy.
Wang Ronghua didn't see what Zhao Bai was thinking. If she had, she probably wouldn't even want to give the wild boar meat to the children and would have taken it home directly to feed them.
After dinner, the family took a shower and went to bed.
Before going to bed, Wang Ronghua carefully reminded the two children to hold on to the silver and not tell outsiders that they had the silver, not even Jinbao and Tietou. They also had to tell Shengzi and Huizi about this, and only they themselves knew about it and were not allowed to tell anyone else.
Although Zhao Shiying and Zhao Shimin didn't quite understand, they nodded obediently.
Zhao Shiying slept soundly at night.
Yin Zi, who was worried before, finally apologized, so she was naturally happy.
The most important thing is that she had wanted to cooperate with those little brats in the village and let them make money for her, but it turned out that she got it without any effort.
