"Come on, children, I have something good for you."
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Chuqiu took out the disaster-proof jade pendant she signed in, "One piece for each person. This is what my mother and the gods asked for."
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Ye Chuqiu warned again, "This thing is very important. It can protect you from disasters. You must wear it around your neck and never lose it."
Seeing Ye Chuqiu's cautious words, Lin Dahu and others also put on the jade pendants.
Seeing that they all put on jade pendants, Ye Chuqiu felt relieved and said: "Okay, let's go and do whatever we need to do."
"Mom, have you dealt with Sanhu's matter?" Seeing that Ye Chuqiu was in a good mood today, Lin Dahu couldn't help but ask.
"The debt has been dealt with, but the three tigers have not yet been dealt with." Ye Chuqiu replied.
In the past few days, she was busy dealing with the black money recognized by the system. She left early and came back late every day. Several children saw her serious face and did not dare to ask her, which made them suffer greatly.
It was Ye Chuqiu who didn't tell them on purpose. She just wanted to make them anxious to see if they would dare to hide something from her next time. That's why Lin Dahu and the others occasionally asked her before, but she didn't answer.
It was also at this time that Ye Chuqiu was in the mood to deal with them after all the system problems were solved.
"Lin Sanhu is addicted to gambling this time and has lost all the family's money. What should you do with him?" Ye Chuqiu felt worried when he thought of Lin Sanhu. Let's not punish him. He is afraid that he will be punished if he does it again next time.
Well, how should I punish my own child?
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's question, several children also looked at each other. They didn't know what to do, especially Lin Sanhu, who felt even more nervous.
"Mom, Sanhu has caused you to worry and worry about him, otherwise the child will beat him again to calm you down?" Lin Dahu said.
"I agree!" Lin Erhu also said.
"A beating is definitely necessary, but just a beating is not enough."
Ye Chuqiu thought for a while, then looked up at Lin Erhu, "Erhu, you have been setting up a stall on the street for a while. Let me ask you, how long does it take for our family to earn three hundred taels of silver?"
Lin Erhu made a calculation and said: "If we don't eat or drink, and go out to set up stalls every day, it will take at least three hundred days to earn one tael of silver every day."
"You think too simply. Let me ask you, is our family's business getting worse and worse now?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"Yes." Lin Erhu nodded, "I used to earn several taels of silver per day with principal and interest, but now I only earn more than one tael of silver, and sometimes it's even worse."
"Our braised food is not a complicated craft. If we sell it more, people will learn it gradually. People's lives are becoming more and more difficult. Some people are willing to spend money to buy one or two just to try it out.
But there are very few people who can buy food every day.
Come to think of it, it will be very difficult to be able to sell for one tael of silver every day and make a profit of four to five hundred cash.
If I can earn five hundred cents a day, after deducting the dividends given to you, the public will only have three hundred cents left. Three hundred cents, for food, drink and chewing every day, it will cost at least fifty cents, as well as clothes for the four seasons.
I usually have headaches, brain fever, etc., so it would be good if I could have 200 yuan left in the public school.
If you calculate two hundred coins a day, how long will it take to earn three hundred taels of silver?"
"It will take nearly five years." Lin Erhu replied.
"Yes, it has been nearly five years, and this does not include Wufeng practicing martial arts. When Sihu was studying, Wufeng practiced martial arts with me. Now it is just to eat more food. Later, when the muscles and bones are strengthened, they need to buy medicinal materials.
Don’t talk about saving money at home, as I’m afraid I won’t be able to make ends meet.”
After Ye Chuqiu's analysis, Lin Erhu fell silent.
"One more thing, this money belongs to the public, but the money from the public is earned by everyone together. It can be used for martial arts training, study, and marriage, but there is no reason to use it to pay off gambling debts."
Ye Chuqiu said: "I thought about it again and again. Sanhu has to bear the money himself. Sanhu, what do you think?"
"Okay, okay, I'll take it." Lin Sanhu agreed repeatedly.
He is not afraid of taking on gambling debts, but the low pressure at home these days and the uncertainty about the future have made him suffer deeply. Now that he can get a result, even if he has to bear the money himself, he is willing.
"very good."
Ye Chuqiu nodded, and immediately asked Lin Sihu to bring a pen and ink, write an IOU, and ask him to sign it.
After signing and depositing the money, Ye Chuqiu said with a smile: "Mom also wrote interest on it. Mom doesn't want much, just one penny a year. That means that by the end of the year, you have to pay back the family three hundred and thirty taels. Next year
It’s just three hundred and sixty-three taels, do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand!" Lin Sanhu nodded repeatedly. He felt that the interest rate was not high.
"In addition to the fact that you have to bear the money yourself, there is another point. You must listen to your mother this year and polish your temper at home." Ye Chuqiu added.
"Sanhu must listen to mother's words."
"Well, let's do this. You can't calm down while practicing martial arts, and you can't study well either. During this period of time, just go and clear up wasteland." Ye Chuqiu said, "Let your elder brother find a piece of wasteland nearby for you to open up."
"Ah?" Compared to studying and practicing martial arts, reclaiming wasteland is undoubtedly more tiring.
"Ah what? You don't want to?" Ye Chuqiu glanced sideways at him.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to, I mean, can I continue to set up a stall with my second brother?" Lin Sanhu said, "My second brother is too honest, he can't do it without me."
"I can't do it without you. Have you forgotten that when you went to play with others, didn't I see all the stalls?" Lin Erhu glanced at Lin Sanhu and said.
Although he is an honest person, he also wants to be valued by his mother. This Sanhu is also true. He is the second brother who treats him well and never speaks ill of him in front of his mother. He is good and says that he is honest.
It doesn't look like a stall, it's really abominable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but add, "Without Sanhu, I have one less person in the car, so it's easier."
"You heard what your second brother said. He doesn't need you. You should just clear up wasteland for me at home. You are limited to clearing two acres of mountain land within ten days."
"Mom, how can I reclaim two acres of mountain land in ten days?" Lin Sanhu wailed.
"Anyway, I can." Ye Chuqiu shrugged, "Your eldest brother should be able to do it too. If you can't, then there's nothing I can do. Again, I won't be able to eat until I finish."
"Mom, it's not that I don't work, but am I afraid that my work will be in vain? Didn't our family offend the head of the village? What if after I finish cultivating the land, he deliberately finds trouble and prevents us from cultivating?"
"You don't have to worry about this. The district chief will never come here to make trouble. If you say you want to reclaim wasteland, he might even take the initiative to help you get the land deed done."
As Ye Chuqiu was talking, a voice came from outside the door, "Is Mrs. Lin at home? I'm here on Wednesday. The mayor and I came to see you."
Wednesday?
Hearing this self-proclaimed person, everyone couldn't believe that the person coming was the previously arrogant Mr. Zhou Zhou!
But the person who appeared at the door was indeed him!
Is this...is the sun coming to the west?
Lin Sanhu, in particular, looked like he had seen a ghost. He couldn't understand why Master Zhou was suddenly so kind to his mother, even so kind that he was respectful!
