"You got the money too! Why don't you get out of here?!" Du Yongxing's eyes widened.

Du Xuan was not annoyed when she heard this, but just weighed the coarse cloth bag in her hand again, "Uncle, don't you think that as long as you speak loudly, the money will become heavier?"

She weighed it with one hand and found that the coarse cloth bag contained only fifteen taels at most. She hadn't even opened it to see if it was all silver. Maybe there were some copper coins in it to make up the number?

Mrs. Liu was quick-thinking and immediately said to Du Yongfu, "Go to the village chief's house and borrow a fair scale."

Because every household has to pay taxes and grains every year, the village chief weighed the grains, calculated them, and waited for people from the county to come and take them away.

Therefore, although many farmers in Zhao'an Village also have scales, which is convenient for selling home-grown things in town, the steel scale in the village chief's home can be called the fair scale of their Zhao'an Village.

Du Yongxing, who originally had a fierce expression as if he was about to eat someone, suddenly became a little discouraged, revealing a feeling of stern expression and internal embarrassment.

Du Yongfu knew that his wife had always had ideas, so as soon as he heard this, he was ready to go.

Du Xuan also poured out the contents of the bag with a smile. As expected, in addition to a few broken pieces of silver, there were also some scattered copper plates and the like.

Things like copper plates are worthless. According to the current ratio of banks in the county, hundreds of copper plates are worth one tael of silver.

There are hundreds of copper plates, which is extremely heavy!

To say that Du Yongxing didn't have enough silver, it would be fine if he used his usual copper coins to top it up.

But just a few scattered copper plates, packed in a coarse cloth bag together with the broken silver, was obviously an attempt to make money from the beginning.

From the beginning, I had planned to use some copper coins to top up the amount. Anyway, throwing a bag like this is quite easy.

Du Yongxing figured that Du Xuan would feel more at ease after getting this heavy bag of money, at least he wouldn't count it in front of his face.

Because in Du Yongxing's impression, this niece is weak and easy to bully. She has suddenly become so difficult to deal with recently, probably because she has been oppressed too hard these years and has become anxious.

Du Yongxing calculated that as long as she walked out of the Du family's house and found that the amount in the money bag was wrong, he would not admit it.

Who would have known that Du Xuan would actually open the money bag and count it in person.

"I'm sorry that the uncle still used copper coins to top up the amount." Du Xuan looked up at Du Yongxing with a half-smile, "I thought you were going to use pebbles to fool me."

Du Yongxing's face was dark red, and he probably felt a little shameless.

In particular, the commotion going on in his family these days was so loud that the entire Zhao'an Village was aware of it.

We are all farmers. We work at sunrise and rest at sundown. There are no entertainment projects, so going back and forth to the east and west has become a way of life.

How many people are curious about these things going on in the Du family, and everyone can't wait to move to the Du family to watch the fun.

But it’s inappropriate after all, isn’t it?

But even if people don't move the benches to watch the excitement, there are still many busybodies outside listening to the goings-on inside.

For example... Mrs. Zhou, the village chief's wife.

Probably because she had never been angry in so many years, she took revenge after being angry with Yang last time. This made the entire Du family hate her.

The Du family has been making a lot of noise recently, and Mrs. Zhou feels very happy.

Even my impression of Du Xuan became much better.

So she stayed outside and listened to the excitement.

This is simply more exciting than the dramas sung by those troupes in the city! Mrs. Zhou regretted that she didn't bring some melon seeds to pound.

Especially when I heard Du Xuan's mocking words, "I thought you were going to use pebbles to fool me."

Zhou couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

Even though I know that my family has been treated as a joke, we are all neighbors and fellow villagers, so we should save some face.

Eavesdropping means eavesdropping. What's going on with snickering?!

Du Yongxing, who was already full of anger and had no place to express his anger, immediately roared, "Why are you laughing? Are you so busy?"

Zhou was addicted to watching the excitement, so she knocked on the door of Du's house.

In the farmyard, there is not much distance between the courtyard gate and the entrance to the main house, they are very close. Therefore, Zhou's voice outside the courtyard gate can be heard clearly by them at the entrance to the main house.

"Ms. Xuan, I'll go back and get you a fair scale!"

Of course Du Xuan recognized Zhou's voice immediately.

She thought to herself that Xue Liangjun's mother had not been of this temper in the past. The last time she was so angry with Yang, it seemed as if some switch had been turned on.

Du Yongxing couldn't help but hurriedly took out a few taels of silver.

Du Xuan weighed it and put it together with the broken pieces of silver in the previous purse. This was considered to be fifteen taels.

"My dowry was left by Qi Yan's relatives before they left. When you sold my mother, the lame man was a skilled carpenter even though his legs were bad."

"The lame man had saved some money over the years and wanted to find a wife. He was afraid of being rejected. So he was quite willing to find a matchmaker. He gave the matchmaker five taels of silver. Then he went to the town to cut a few kilograms of pork and bought dozens of them.

An egg, two pieces of cloth, and a jar of sugar."

"The matchmaker took two taels of silver, and you took three taels, but you took all those things. My mother felt sorry for me at that time. When she married me, she didn't have any dowry, not even a new dress.

I thought if I leave these things to you, you can treat me better."

"But I haven't seen any of these things. Even if the three taels of silver are combined here, I only have fifteen taels of silver here. Uncle, what's the matter? My father gets two taels of the money for the division.

Two? My father’s life is worth two taels?”

Du Yongxing snorted coldly, "Do you want it? Anyway, we only have this little money at home now. If you want to share it, the third child also needs to share it. How can we have so much money to share it?"

Du Xuan was really too lazy to continue arguing with the Du family.

Originally, I would argue like this just to vent some bad anger. To put it bluntly, it was just to cause trouble for the Du family.

Do you really want to rely on the Du family's money to get rich? She really hasn't thought about it.

What she has done these days is enough to cause trouble for the Du family.

She felt that it was almost over, it was time for everyone to go back to their respective homes and live their own lives.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to mess around with you anymore." Du Xuan turned to look at Mr. Liu and Du Yongfu.

"Auntie, please be careful later. Don't let me get tricked. Aunt Zhou went back to get a fair scale. Remember to use it." Du Xuan said to Mrs. Liu with a smile.

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Don't worry, Ms. Xuan."

Du Yongxing knew that she was deliberately trying to make someone angry, so he immediately said coldly, "Why don't you get out?"

Du Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go now."

She happily said to Mrs. Liu and Du Yongfu, "Auntie, uncle, I can't get my father's share, so I'll leave it all to you. Be careful. Just the ones left by Qi Yan's relatives, there are two

It’s twelve taels.”

After saying that, Du Xuan happily pulled Qi Yan's sleeve and left the Du family.

Let’s take the kids out to ride on the rocker first, making them so noisy that they can’t sleep. I’ll come back later and continue updating.
