Chapter 3878 Simply nonsense!
"The whole family has moved to Yangzhou City? How long can the two hundred taels of silver be spent in such a prosperous place?" she asked.
Zuo Junmo said: "So I went to Yangzhou and found Dazhi's family. Qing'er, guess what the situation was like?"
Yang Ruoqing thought for a while and said: "They should have bought a shop that can accommodate eight people. The front of the shop is open for business and the back yard is occupied."
"Then the remaining money can either be used to buy fields in the countryside to collect rent, or to open other shops in the city to collect rent, right?"
"But after all this calculation, there are only a few cents left of the two hundred taels of silver," she said.
Zuo Junmo shook his head, "You guessed wrong."
"Wrong guess? Then tell me, how did they allocate the two hundred taels of silver?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Zuo Junmo said: "I know the prices of things in Yangzhou City. To buy a house that can open a shop, have a backyard and live in, and can accommodate eight people, it will cost at least 500 taels of silver in the most prosperous area of Yangzhou City.
."
"On other streets where there is not that much traffic, the price starts at 200 taels of silver. If you rent it, it will cost about 50 taels of silver a year."
"So the Dazhi family rented the house on such a not-so-busy street for two years!"
"Two years?" Yang Ruoqing raised two fingers, "So, they only have one hundred taels of silver left on hand?"
Zuo Junmo nodded.
"Yangzhou is a prosperous place in the east. It is next to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. There is a gold-selling cave. One hundred taels of silver and a family of eight. How long can this take?" she asked.
Zuo Junmo said: "There are still one hundred taels of silver. They used forty taels for business capital, and they still sell breakfast."
"The remaining sixty taels were used for loan sharking," he said.
"Loan sharking?" Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to cover her chest.
She was worried that if she didn't cover it hard, her heart would burst out of anger.
"They actually used it for loan sharking? Whose idea was this? They are so generous!" she said.
"Do they know that these loan sharks have backers behind them? They take advantage of both black and white, and they themselves are also extremely vicious."
"Their family also uses money to lend money at high interest rates? They are old, weak, women and children, and if they default on their debts, what can they do to get it back?" she asked.
Zuo Junmo said: "So, they handed over the sixty taels of silver to others and asked those who specialize in loan sharking to help them release it. They said this is called joining a gang."
"Join the gang? That's nonsense!" Yang Ruoqing's face was full of anger.
"I wonder who in their family came up with this idea? What nonsense!" she said, "I'm sure that these sixty taels of silver will be lost within three months!"
Zuo Junmo sighed and said: "Dazhi's mother told me that moving to the city was agreed upon by the whole family. Everyone said that Dazhi lived like a young master here. When he returned to his hometown, he could not let him live there.
He was wronged."
"We are doing business anyway, so naturally we will do it in bigger places."
"So the family moved to Yangzhou. Dazhi now has his own separate room, which is spacious and bright, with a big desk,"
"Dazhi's mother is focused on raising her grandson, while Dazhi's eldest brother and sister-in-law take their other two brothers and one sister to do breakfast business."
"Dazhi Niang asked me to tell you not to worry too much. If you want to have big ambitions, you are welcome to visit Yangzhou at any time."
"When he becomes more ambitious in the future, I will send him back to kowtow to you and Feng Tang. The two families are real relatives and we must keep moving."
"Oh, by the way, there are also these two pairs of shoes. Dazhi Niang gave them to Chen'er and Baobao. She asked me to bring them to you."
Zuo Junmo handed the bundle he had brought over to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing took it and opened the bundle. Inside were two pairs of brand new shoes.
"Well, these little shoes are very nicely made, and they fit well at first glance. She is interested." Yang Ruoqing said.
Putting away the shoes, he sighed again, "I hope their decision is correct, and they will stay in Yangzhou and take good care of the breakfast shop business."
"No matter what, as long as Dazhi doesn't touch the one hundred taels of silver in his hand and lets Dazhi use it for studying, I'll be relieved."
Zuo Junmo stayed here for one night and then returned to Huguang County.
Everything is back to normal and everyone is busy with their own things.
On Qingming Festival, Yang Ruoqing took Luo Baobao and went up the mountain with blacksmith Luo to burn incense and worship ancestors.
I happened to meet Wang Hongquan, Yang Huamei, Dabai and Xiaohei on the way down the mountain.
Wang Shuanzi's physical condition was not strong enough for him to go up the mountain to worship, so Yang Huamei and her two children followed Wang Shuanzi up the mountain to worship.
When the two families met, Luo Baobao hurriedly walked to Dabai and Xiaohei. Blacksmith Luo and Wang Hongquan were talking together, and Yang Huamei directly grabbed Yang Ruoqing's arm.
"Qing'er, you said that Goddess Li is really clever. Ever since we followed her method, there really have been no more noisy noises in the house."
"Moreover, on the night when my mother-in-law Qiqi died, Shuanzi had a dream. He dreamed that my mother-in-law was standing in a very high place and said to him,"
"Tell him to live a good life with me in the future and bring up the children. He said that this is the end of the relationship between mother and child in this life, and she is leaving." Yang Huamei said.
"Ah? So mysterious? The dream said so much, did she say where she was going?" Yang Ruoqing also asked curiously.
Yang Huamei said: "Of course Shuanzi asked. She said she wanted to go where she should go and start a new life."
"That means reincarnation." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Huamei said: "Yes, my mother-in-law has been reincarnated. I hope she will be born into a good family in her next life, and her parents will take good care of her."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "I will definitely do it."
Yang Huamei looked at the three children running in front, and then said to Yang Ruoqing: "Look at them, they are really still children. They cried like that when their grandma passed away, and they are still running and jumping now."
"If their grandma saw her in the sky, she would really think they were two white-eyed wolves."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "You can't say that. People can't be immersed in grief blindly. Time is the best medicine and will treat and dilute all grief."
"Take me and my grandma as an example. How deep was our relationship back then?"
"When my grandma passed away, I really felt like my whole body was empty. I was immersed in sadness for a long time and couldn't believe it,"
"Why is this person gone? It's like he was snatched away by the bird."
"If I really know something from under the spring, why don't you show me a spirit or something at night? But there's nothing strange about her at all. I often dream about her, but it's still the same things as before."
