Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Okay, twenty taels, the house is two hundred taels, so you owe one hundred and eighty taels of silver."

"I am your niece. The sixty taels I borrowed from you are not in a hurry. I am talking about one hundred and twenty taels of silver. How do you plan to pay it back?"

"You only earn thirty taels of silver a year, and it will take four years to pay it back if you don't eat or drink."

"What's more, there are so many people in the fourth house. My fourth aunt, third girl, Kang Xiaozi, Aunt Xiaojuan, Goudan, and my grandparents. They can only eat but not make money. They all have to rely on you..."

"Thirty taels of silver, no matter what, you have to come up with twenty taels of silver to support so many people for a year, right?"

"Twenty-two years?" Yang Huaming couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing said: "In the past, life was hard. A bowl of porridge could last for a day, and two taels of silver could feed a family of five for a year."

"Life has been better for our old Yang family in the past few years. Our family cannot do without meat and vegetables every day. It is very normal for so many people to eat and drink for twenty taels of silver a year. What's more, there are clothes from all seasons and Aunt Xiaojuan's rouge gouache.

, I haven’t even included Goudan’s nutritional supplements!”

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's calculations, Yang Huaming's expression changed.

Indeed, the life of Lao Yang's family was difficult in the past. The whole family only had two meals a day, and each meal was porridge with pickles and wild vegetables.

A little minced meat and eggs would be good. Meat can only be eaten once during the holidays, and it's not enough.

My wife raises chickens and ducks in the backyard, but the chickens and ducks are usually inedible and must be kept for laying eggs.

If you wait until the Chinese New Year and the holidays to slaughter just one or two, you have to cook them with potatoes and so on, so the food is not satisfying at all.

According to the food and drink standards at that time, a few taels of silver a year could support the whole family.

But now, with the help of Qing Yatou and Tang Yazi, his uncles and cousins ​​are all managing restaurants, and his fourth uncle is working as a purchasing manager in a restaurant in the town.

Every day in the restaurant, it was chicken, duck, fish, meat and prawns, and I kept eating them until I didn’t want to eat anymore.

Everyone in the family can eat meat every day. Goudan and Xiaojuan, who live five days apart from each other, have to stew a chicken to supplement their health.

Clothes and shoes from Four Seasons, makeup from Xiaojuan, toys and nutritional supplements from Goudan...

In addition to the expenses of the Liu family and the Liu family's children, those who honor the two elders can spend not only twenty taels of silver a year, but thirty taels of silver.

Fortunately, fortunately, he could still make some money from the purchase, but if he had to pay it to death, it would only be ten taels of silver in a year.

Hey, going to town to buy a house worth two hundred taels of silver is really just trying to make a fool of yourself!

However, Xiaojuan kept saying, what should I do?

Just when Yang Huaming was in a dilemma, Yang Ruoqing spoke again.

"Fourth Uncle, actually you can settle for the next best thing and buy a house elsewhere in the town," she said.

"You don't need to buy a house with two entrances, just buy a courtyard-type one. There are three large rooms in the front for the main room and dining hall, five large rooms in the east and west, a courtyard in the front, and a small courtyard in the back."

"The small courtyard has a toilet, a kitchen, and a well for washing."

"A house like this with two small yards only costs seventy or eighty taels of silver per set, and it's also close to Wa City. Even if you don't plant a vegetable garden, it's convenient to buy vegetables."

After hearing her recommendation, Yang Huaming's mind came alive again.

"Okay, okay, but of these seventy or eighty taels of silver, I am still short of sixty taels. If Qing'er, you can borrow sixty taels from your fourth uncle, your fourth uncle can pay you back ten taels a year, divided into six years."

What do you think about giving you some more interest?" Yang Huaming asked.

Yang Ruoqing raised her lips and smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, it's not that my niece won't lend you money, but that my niece is not as rich as you think,"

"Especially this trip to the capital, where I bought a shop and opened a liquor store. I spent a lot of money on everything, including giving gifts."

"Twenty taels at most. I really can't borrow more than that." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Only twenty taels? There is still a gap of forty taels," Yang Huaming said.

Yang Huazhong said: "If our brothers help you get it together, twenty taels will still be about the same."

Yang Huaming said: "But calculated this way, there is still a difference of twenty taels!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It doesn't matter if we are short of 20 taels. You can discuss it with the landlord. Before I helped you with the accounting, you were the only one making money. If you add Chen Biao to the fourth room," "You two can make money together."

Pay back, one person's money supports the whole family, and the other person's money pays off the debt. Just work hard for one year, and you can pay back the twenty taels in one year. As for the money you borrowed from relatives at home, you can take your time in the future.

Still okay!"

Yang Ruoqing analyzed patiently.

Her views are a little different from Xiao An's.

As people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Fourth uncle and Xiaojuan want to move their family to the town. From a certain point of view, it is a good thing.

Meng's mother could still move three times.

It's a bit unrealistic to fall in love with a big house with two hundred taels of silver all of a sudden.

If you buy a small house of 70 to 80 taels, it is still feasible for a large family to live in four rooms.

Everyone is also willing to chip in and contribute.

Here, Yang Huazhong also said to Yang Huaming: "Fourth brother, Qing'er is right. It's too tiring for you to support the entire fourth house by yourself. Support it together with Chen Biao, so that everyone can feel more relaxed."

"Seeing that so many of you four-bedroom people are living in the town, and it's so lively, we can rest assured. Let's buy a smaller house first, which is enough to live in. When the conditions are better in the future, we won't move to a bigger one.

It’s too late, what do you think?”

Yang Huaming nodded, looking tempted.

"It makes sense, it just makes sense..."

"Just what?" Yang Huazhong asked.

Yang Huaming shook his head and stopped talking.

"Okay, I'll go back tonight and discuss it with Xiaojuan and the others," Yang Huaming said, then stood up and left hastily.

He ran away without even saying hello or thanking his host, Bao Suyun.

After Yang Huaming left, Bao Suyun also entered the main room.

Yang Ruoqing guessed that the fifth aunt had finished washing the pots and dishes long ago, so she hid behind and listened without showing up.

As for why the fifth aunt didn't show up, Yang Ruoqing's guess is that the fifth aunt still has a barrier to the fourth uncle.

After all, the fourth uncle coveted her in every possible way. When the fifth uncle was not at home, he knocked on the fifth aunt's door and window at night. When the fifth aunt went to the toilet, he blocked it. This left a deep psychological shadow on the fifth aunt.

So now, even though the fourth uncle has stopped doing those sneaky things, the fifth aunt is still wary of him and is always on guard.

"Qing'er, your fourth uncle is gone?" Bao Suyun asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I just left, Fifth Aunt, you must have heard it just now, right? I asked for two hundred taels of silver to go to the town to buy a big house with two houses. I was shocked."
