The happy little days of the Ye family

After dinner, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing washed up and returned to the house early, and the young couple took inventory of their small treasury together.

Broken silver is heavy and takes up space. When buying a house, Tang Xiaojing always bought silver notes and twelve silver ingots.

Now the hidden compartment above the beams is empty, and the hidden compartment behind the wardrobe only has half a box of broken silver and more than half a box of copper plates.

The total copper plates amounted to only two or three taels of silver. Ye Qingqing did not count them in detail, but poured all the broken silver in the box onto the table.

The young couple silently counted the broken silver, and now they had 115 taels of silver left in their hands.

Before buying the house, the two hidden compartments in the house were full of money, but most of them were empty all of a sudden. Both of them felt a little uneasy.

Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing was in a bad mood, so he hugged her and comforted her softly:

"In a few days, we will have about ten big pigs ready for slaughter. In about half a month, we will be able to go to the dock to sell bacon. We can also make a lot of income here."

"And after the autumn harvest, the dendrobium in the mountains and the chicken blood vine in the valley can be picked. The prices of dendrobium and chicken blood vine are high, and here they cost dozens of taels of silver."

Only then did Ye Qingqing laugh, "And the embroidery I made is now being finished. When I come back from the treasure hunt, I will embroider for another day and then I can get it to the embroidery workshop and sell it."

The more Ye Qingqing thought about it, the happier he became. Calculating this, one of the hidden cells would be filled by the end of the year.

Looking at the small pile of broken silver on the table, Ye Qingqing suggested:

"The broken silver takes up too much space. Sir, do you think we should take the broken silver to the bank and exchange it for twelve silver ingots or banknotes?"

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "That's okay. Later I will change half of the broken silver at home into silver notes and half into silver ingots of twelve or one piece. This will make it easier to hide."

After dinner, Mrs. Ye called Father Ye into the house.

After seeing Father Ye closing the door, Mrs. Ye opened her mouth and said:

"To buy the house this time, Gongzhong only contributed 100 taels, Donglin and Xilin each contributed 50 taels, and the remaining 131 taels were contributed by you and Xiuxiu."

"Dong Lin and Xi Lin are still young and act recklessly. It's better for you and Xiu Xiu to save more money."

"Although there has not been a drought or flood here in decades, no one can predict natural disasters and man-made disasters. You must keep your trump cards and an extra escape route for yourself."

"Mom, why are you serious so suddenly?" Father Ye felt very uneasy when he saw Mrs. Ye's serious look.

Mrs. Ye didn't say anything, she just handed Father Ye a small cloth bag.

Father Ye opened the purse and found that there were 58 taels of silver in it, as well as a lot of copper plates.

Father Ye looked at Mrs. Ye with confusion, "What are you doing?"

"These are the silver from the treasure hunt in the past two days, as well as the 45 taels from selling things. You should keep it. It will be regarded as the public supply for you."

"You are now a grandpa. Sooner or later, this family will be completely handed over to you and Xiu Xiu. You have done quite well these days. You will continue to work hard in the future. Mom is optimistic about you."

"Okay, mom, don't worry, I'll be watching over you at home." Father Ye put the money away with a smile.

After Father Ye left, Mrs. Ye took Mr. Ye together to count their private money.

When the two were young, the Ye family was not wealthy and could barely afford to eat. Later, they slowly saved some money because they raised pigs well.

Until recent years, Ye's father left the grocery store to work as a salesman. The family bought barren hills and land to reclaim wasteland, and the family gradually accumulated some family property.

In addition to the money handed over to the public, the two of them saved the rest.

Mrs. Ye now has a total of 476 taels of silver, which is the money that the old couple has saved their whole life.

Mrs. Ye has no intention of taking out these 476 taels of silver.

First of all, this is the money that the two of them use to support their old age. Although their children and grandchildren are very filial, Mrs. Ye feels that she must not be without money.

No matter how rich your children and grandchildren are, they are not as rich as yourself. If you don’t have any money on hand, life will be difficult in the future.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Secondly, the two of them are getting older, and the family will eventually have to be taken care of by Father Ye and the younger members of the family. This money is also a way out for the family.

If her descendants were unfilial and ruined the family's fortune, she would still have some money on hand, and the entire Ye family would not starve to death.

After counting the private money, Mrs. Ye hid the money again in every corner of the house.

There are more than three places where Mrs. Ye hides her money.

Even if Ye Xilin comes to look for it, he may not be able to find all the money.

Peach Blossom Village was particularly quiet at night. Both the Tang Ye family went to bed early. There were still many things waiting for them early tomorrow morning.

When the sky was still gray, the Ye family was already busy.

The house has been turned upside down in the past two days, so there is no need to go treasure hunting today. Everyone is busy with their own affairs.

However, Mrs. Ye still wanted to take Father Ye and Ye Xilin to the newly purchased house.

One is to buy realgar powder to repel snakes in the house, and the other is to rearrange the furniture in the house.

Keep the house in good order so that Yahang can help rent it out and collect the rent.

Father Ye has already found out clearly that the rent for a house like theirs can be almost one tael of silver a month.

The rent is not cheap. Father Ye wants to rent it out early in exchange for money.

As for bringing Ye Xilin along with him, Mrs. Ye saw that he was extremely talented, so she might be able to find some treasures.

This guy was born with wealth and good luck.

Ye Qingqing was so focused on going treasure hunting that she even got up earlier than Tang Xiaojing.

Seeing that the sky was getting slightly brighter, Ye Qingqing quickly pushed Tang Xiaojing beside him to wake up.

"Get up, get up, I'm going to the county to hunt for treasure today."

Tang Xiaojing suddenly woke up when he heard that he was going to hunt for treasure.

"I think about it every day and dream about it at night. I just finished talking about going treasure hunting last night, and that night, I dreamed about treasure hunting in my new house."

"Hahaha, in the dream I also found two large boxes of silver ingots. After counting the silver for a long time, there were a total of 500 taels." Tang Xiaojing smiled from ear to ear when he thought of the silver in the dream.

"What's the fuss about finding two boxes of silver? I also dreamed of finding a large box of gold."

While the two were washing, they laughed and talked about the things they found in their dreams.

Tangshan on the side was amused by the whimsical two people, "These two people probably haven't woken up yet."

Thinking of not coming back for lunch at noon, Ye Qingqing specially made some pumpkin pancakes and boiled eggs to bring over.

Thinking of going treasure hunting, Ye Qingqing took the clever Xiao Huang with him.

As for Rhubarb, he could only be pitifully left at home to look after the house.

Today we are going to Xinzhai to hunt for treasures. Tangshan will not go to the town to drive cattle carts to attract customers. The family of three will go out happily.
